Hi,
yesterday I restarted my HTC Desire GSM running CM7 and during the first call I noticed that the voice of my interlocutor was caming from behind the phone (rear speaker). I tried turning the Speaker on/off several times during the call and rebooting as well but still the call speaks out from behind.
Any clue/suggestion for me? That's pretty uncomfortable
Sounds weird, do you mean it goes into speaker mode? If you do maybe there is a problem with your accelerometer. In the Sound settings is 'Flip for speaker' on, if so try turning it off. This setting may be causing your phone to enter speaker phone even though your phone isn't flipped.
I'm not an expert but maybe this is causing the problem.
It's not exactly the "speaker" because the volume is very low, exactly like a normal call but instead it comes from the rear speaker. Moreover I can turn the speaker on, which makes the volume louder but still from behind the phone (as it should be).
However I checked the call settings and the proximity is disabled. I tried enabling/disabling a couple of times but no luck at all
Any other suggestion please? Still can't hear from the right side of my phone and rear speaker definitely s**ks
Hi,
I've been using a DESIRE HD for a long time , suddenly an issue has cropped up
1) My phone automatically uses the speaker when i receive or make a call !
Any Idea why is this happening?
i had the same issue for the last few weeks. i couldn't find a fix so ive just got into a habit of hitting speaker as soon as i make or recieve a call (to turn it OFF speakerphone) But...
the issue has now developed! one i make/recieve a call, and turn off speaker, the speaker continues to flick on and off throughout my call, mainly as it moves, depends on the tilt of the phone during the call. its like an overly sensitive exaggeration of the "flip for speaker" feature, as it happens when its vertical. thing is, ive turned this feature on and off many times to try and resolve it, but it still happens!
has anyone got any ideas that might help???
thanx
Hi,
When i try putting the phone to my ear to hear voice messages on whatsapp and telegram on the earpiece vs the speaker it does not work properly.
It either starts and stops a few times until it finally plays in the earpiece or it just plays on speaker even if the screen goes black due to the proximity sensor.
Anyone else come accross this issue?
same here...
Same on Galaxy S7 RR Nougat
I have the same problem. Did you found out how to solve?
Thanks in advance! =)
Hello,
My problem is that after updating LG G7 to Pie Whatsapp microphone stops working. It looks like that when the screen is on and i turn on speakerphone mode everything is good, but when screen fades out to black i can only hear my interlocutor, but he or she can't hear me. So that i'm forced to turn on screen settings to 'do not turn off' when i want to talk with speakerphone. Camera mode works normal, also when speakerphone is off and i use phone to normal conversation everything's good.
All permissions for Whatsapp are set to 'allow'. Does someone have similar issue?
Hi All
Have a stock rom Fold3 and having an issue whereby the proximity sensor is not turning off the screen in WhatsApp when you bring the phone to your face to listen to a voice note, so you just get blasted in the ear by the speaker instead of it switching to the earpiece
Thanks in advance all
I have exactly the same issue. it blasts the sound from the speaker for a second then turns it to the earphone. There's a delay

For the moment i'm using this fix:
On smartphone go to Bluetooth connected smartwatch settings and turn off for calls. (not using my watch for call anyways)
Same issue on my Note 20 ultra connected to my GW4!
Hi, I have the same issue using S21 Ultra + Watch4 and fixed disabling Calls on BT settings of the watch as suggested. Any news regarding a real fix from Samsung?
I have the same issue on Zenfone 8 with GW4, and whatsapp version 2.22.18.75.
Is there any news about this issue?
I have an update on this, in my case, the issue is not limited to the smartwatch, but to every Bluetooth device for which the calls are enabled, I tried with my car's Bluetooth and a pair of earphones.
Can someone else test with earphones as well? I disabled multimedia audio and left enabled calls, and the proximity sensor with whatsapp doesn't work
Same problem for me with a Samsung galaxy a71 and a watch 4 classic
I guess we have to wait for a fix from whatsapp...

Omg thanks so much for this I've been having the same issue and I've been trying to figure out if my phone is broken or something
Yes when I disconnect my galaxy watch 4 from my s21 ultra then the voice note proximity sensor works but if it's connected to the watch then it doesn't work
I'm going to message WhatsApp about fixing thisb

This issue may occur because your proximity sensor is turned off. You can turn it on by going to your phone's settings. You can turn it on from call settings or turn it on from sensor settings.

the proximity sensor is turned on, in fact, it does work with other applications like telegram.
The issue is only with WhatsApp and only if a Bluetooth device, with the call option enabled, is connected.

you don't need to disconnect the watch completely, it is enough to disable the call option in the Bluetooth connection settings of the watch, leaving it connected
With WhatsApp version 2.22.21.83 the issue seems to be solved!
If the proximity sensor on your device is not working properly while using WhatsApp voice notes, you may want to try the following solutions:
Clean the proximity sensor: Sometimes, dirt or dust may accumulate on the proximity sensor, which can cause it to malfunction. Clean the sensor using a soft cloth or cotton swab.
Restart your device: Restarting your device can often solve minor software issues that may be causing the proximity sensor to malfunction.
Update WhatsApp: Make sure that you are using the latest version of WhatsApp. Check the app store for any available updates and install them if necessary.
Check permissions: Make sure that WhatsApp has permission to access your device's microphone and proximity sensor. You can check this in your device's settings.
Disable screen protectors or cases: Screen protectors or cases may interfere with the proximity sensor's ability to detect when your device is close to your ear. Try removing any screen protectors or cases and see if that resolves the issue.
If the problem persists, you may want to contact the manufacturer of your device or WhatsApp support for further assistance.
when you bring the phone to your face to listen to a voice note on WhatsApp, the proximity sensor fails to turn off the screen. As a result, instead of the audio playing through the earpiece, it blasts directly through the speaker, causing discomfort in your ear.
Hi friend
If the proximity sensor is not functioning properly while using voice notes on WhatsApp, try restarting your device or reinstalling the app. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to WhatsApp support for further assistance.Free Fire
