Hi everybody,
I recently bought an used phone in Spain. The phone arrived with android 9 (I don't remember exactly which version) and I checked all the functions with the service menu. The only thing that worked badly was the secondary microphone, which had a recording volume extremely low. I thought it could be fine anyway. So I updated the phone OTA, then I did a companion restore (to 52.1.A.0.618). At that point I put the sim, and made the first whatsapp call. Everything was fine at the beginning but at the end of the call, the speaker started croaking (badly). From the service test I identified the bottom speaker (the one called right) as the malfunctioned one. So, thinking it was the fault of the update I downgraded to Android 9, following the guide on that forum, but it didn't work. Then I updated again with flashtool to Android 10, first with the Italian firmware (to 52.1.A.0.672), then with the Iberian firmware (to 52.1.A.0.618). But in both cases even the microphone no longer works correctly. If I record video, the microphone works fine, while if I make calls, the microphone works only if I put it on loud speaker. In the normal mode the interlocutor hears me but at a very low volume. Same problem from the service test. The microphone works, but only if I speak attached to the microphone hole. I tried to clean with a toothbrush, but problem still there. The phone has no cover.
Any one faced similar problems?
Fixed by replacing them. Now facing touch screen issue (updated to 52.1.A.0.672)
Hi,
I bought an XZ2 Compact recently and downloaded every updates. The last one is the 52.1.A.3.49 and I have the problem with the microphone : working for recordings or calls on loud speaker but not working for calls without the loud speaker.
What can I do ?

I have very similar problems with a used phone that I bought (secondary microphone very low volume). Am I reading you correctly, that you installed a new microphone and this fixed the issue?

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with my Xperia S that started manifesting itself a few days ago. Basically when I receive a call the sound doesn't come out of the earpiece but instead comes from the back of the phone, as if the loudspeaker was being used, but very quietly.
I don't believe this is a headphone issue as I've never used headphones on my Xperia S.
The earpiece works under normal phone conditions, e.g. Turning volume up on the home screen producer a bleep as normal.
Turning on loudspeaker during a conversation will basically make the sound already coming out the back of the phone go loud as is expected when activating the loudspeaker option.
Has anyone else ever experienced this or know of a fix?
I have already tried the 'plug headphones in and out repeatedly' fix which hasn't worked.
I don't think detecting the headphones being plugged in is the issue.
Any advice welcome!
Does anyone think this could be a software issue? Someone in the Sony Forums has recommended doing a repair on my phone, which just means flashing a firmware file to the phone. I can do that, but it doesn't seem like that would be the issue, would it?
need help…
i have LG g3 D855 sprint version.
i found the microphone not working during call but if i use speaker phone it works flawless even for video recording it is recording the voice.
except for normal call and voice recording the microphone not detect the sound or what i dont know.
i checked with other sound recorder also not sensing the sound but if i blow on the mic area it sences the sound.
what could be the problem?
Resolved?
This just started happening to me today out of nowhere. Were you able to resolve this issue? It had been working fine for 6 months prior.
I've same issue but inverse. My MIC does not work when in Speaker mode
Any luck so far?
Hello,
have a problem with my HTC 10 when I make standard call there is no any problems, but when I switch call to loudspeaker people tell that they can't hear me, phone usually lie on the desk during this calls.
Is this hardware issue, or software? I use Viper ROM. This phone have two microphones right, which one is used with loud speaker call?
Hello, the same speaker like without Loudspeakermode. Try another ROM at first Stockrom, shouldn't help this i recommend to contact your seller.
speaker no matter if phone is at the ear or call is in "speaker" mode works without any problem,
my problem is with microphone but only on "speaker" mode because then other side can't hear me.
to resolve it, I've bored out the microphone hole on the bottom of the case enough to make sure the mic is fully exposed and that appears to have done the trick.
Hello!
I have bought recently a Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra and I´m experiencing this problem with its microphone. Sometimes when Im recording a voice message in WhatsApp, the mic sort of "shuts off" in the middle of recording, where my friend then hears some static noises and the voice message ends abruptly, even though it should have run longer. Has anyone experienced the same problem and could tell me how to solve this?
Thanks!

The problem is an issue with microphone permissions from another app that is still running in the background. For me it seems that Facebook messenger seems to disable my microphone entirely. Any video recorded with my camera has no audio. Snapchat no audio, can't use speakerphone during a call but regular phone calls with phone up to head work fine. I've been using an appkiller to disable all running apps and this eliminates the issue. This has been a problem since I bought the phone in august or july, along with anything audio played from the phone cutting off gradually as if someone was slowly turning down the volume. I'd check the volume and it was up to max. Sony issued an update in august that seemed to fix the problem but now it's back as of the last update a few weeks ago. I'm also having problem with bluetooth turning off as soon as it turns on and white bright spots behind the screen that bestbuy tells me is water damage however the phone has never near anything wet ever.

Hmm interesting! I didn´t install Facebook Messenger on my phone, so it must be some other app, that the mic has a problem with, I´ll play around with them then. But thank you for your reply, hopefully Sony will release another update soon, that will fix these issues! Although I didn´t encounter any problems with audio, bluetooth or the screen spots ... yet :laugh: Sounds terrible though!
Having similar problem mic works when it wants to but will not work in regular calls didn't have this problem until the oreo update and Sony has no clue how to fix it they replaced the mic but it still fails it passes all test just won't work in call. Tried to reset used the Sony repair app, prayed to all the gods so I knew at least one heard me and nothing.
Hello my friend has a Samsung A3 2017 and he said that the speakers are not working.
He can receive calls but do not hear them incoming because Speakers have some bug. No water or phone dropped on ground / any physical problem.
I told him to try the dial code *#7353# to test the functionality.
He replied that the
1. Melody works fine, the music is played
3. Speakers doesnt work at all.
This is probably some software bug, he already resetted the device without success. Any similar problems?
Thanks in advance

I actually had the same problem in my a7 2017, just randomly the speaker stopped working. I tried factory resetting it with no success, then turned it off for a while and rebooted in secure mode. Then the speaker worked again. It happened again a couple days ago and I tried the whole secure mode again. It didn't work. Then I turned my phone off and waited a couple of minutes. Turns out that to fix the problem, you only have to turn the phone off for about 5-10 minutes and reboot. This fixes the problem, but I still don't know what causes it
Do a hard reset and restore your phone to its initial configuration.
Hard reset stepsMod Edit
In this way, any app interfering with your sound and speaker settings should be deleted.
Just had the same issue on the most recent stock 8 ROM. Turning it off for ~10min cleared the issue. Is the root cause already known by now?

Maybe headphone jack is damaged from water. Try a phone call with and without speakerphone.

Hi, sorry I missed it somehow back then and just noticed it... better late than never. The phone is actually being used w/o headphones (perhaps only by previous owner if at all). Fortunately the issue has never come back since then. When it was still there a phone call would only have one way audio while on speakerphone (Tx only) and switching to the earpiece would fix Rx.
So, I just got a SM-A520F with a similar issue - speakers simply emit loud a white noise instead of Ringtones, Notifications, Youtube, Music, etc. I tried the dial code *#7353# and was surprised to see that melody works fine.
Had no issues at first, flashed the official Lineage 17.1 - still everything a okay. I decided to try Magisk, and that's when the problem started. I went back to stock android, but the problem is still there.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
--Edit--
I just restarted the phone with earphone plugged in. This seems to work for now. I will see for how long this will work & report back later.
--Edit 2--
No further problems. I reinstalled Magisk, everything still seems to work. Booting the phone with earphones plugged indeed fixed the issue, hope this will may help someone in the future.
