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

Ok, so found a really annoying issue when the watch is set to play phone audio. Basically when you answer a call or make a call from your phone, the functionality of the screen turning off when you put your phone to your ear no longer works, which means you end up controlling your handset with your ear if you ear touches the screen.
Very annoying!
This only happens if the watch is basically setup as bluetooth audio for the phone (as in you can take calls on your watch).
This was already discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-watch/help/phone-audio-proximity-sensor-t3330372
It seems to be a problem in the Google Dialer App. The problem is not present with Samsung phones.
For the moment you'll have to press the power button, to disable the screen. Hopefully a future update of the phone dialer app will fix this, you may support this here:

There is an update MHC19J mentioned for the Nexus 5X, which may improve the situation.
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.
After day 1, my microphone stopped working except for when using the speakerphone. After some troubleshooting with Google, looks like I'll be on phone number 2. Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Yes, same problem. My phone arrived Thursday and I just noticed today the microphone ONLY works when making a phone call with speaker phone enabled. Bluetooth on/off makes no difference, safe mode makes no difference. Once speaker phone is toggled off the mic stops working and will start working again once speaker phone is enabled. Removing my case has no effect. Disabling the squeeze to activate Google Assistant also has no effect, mic still won't work. Mic doesn't work when recording videos or manually launching the Google Assistant.
Google offered to send me a replacement this week.

Hello to all. I read on the net that it is a common problem. when we listen to a voice message on whatsapp, if we make the mistake of bringing the phone to the ear, activating the proximity sensor, the audio stops. is there a way to make whatsapp play audio messages exclusively in speakerphone without activating the proximity sensor which obviously does not work correctly? thanks
The phone turn into ear mode instead of loud speaker when playing voice in whatsapp and calling. Turning screen to black. It's so annoying. I have posted this question on some fb group, many of them say is system problem, many of them also have this problem. Is that true? or anything else i can do with that?
