Bought this phone 7 months ago, but as it was locked by Vodafone, I couldn't use my SIM card. Used it mainly for facebook, web-browsing and videos.
2 weeks ago, I started using the phone for calls. Alejandrissimo unlocked it. The microphone stopped working during a call, which made me pretty confused. Been reading and ordered the same microphone for the phone. I changed the piece of hardware, but it still does not work.
I tried repairing the phone with Sony Companion (before changing the microphone), but it didn't work.
Some help here?
Should I send it to sony or is there a way to reverse this problem?

Hello,
When in a call, sometimes the other end cannot listen to me, but I am able to listen to them.
Terminating the call and re-calling "fixes" this.
Is there something I can do?
Is that a known bug or sth?
Thank you for your time!
@pspuser007 What ROM are you on? What mods are you using?
@NSDCars5 Sorry, forgot to mention this. It's completely stock.

Repair by updating firmware or re-flashing the ROM with Sony's official tools?
(Sorry, haven't worked with a Sony device before)

yes....
note;- E will factory reset if you choose repair option
if there is a update, then do it
If on stock ROM, I suggest you go hit up a shop or something that helps people with phone problems. Something might be loose in your phone.. May be a SIM Card problem, who knows..

dont mess if its stock, tk 2 service center instead.
Similar problem over here
I have similar problem.
When I call someone or if someone calls me after random period of time that other side can't hear me, and I can hear then normally and sometimes voice sounds like digitalized signal and then I know they can't hear me. Only solution so far is that I blow in cell phone (where the mic would be) and after that they can hear me normally again until problem reapears after another random period of time.
Since it is under warranty I took it to the service and what they did is factory reset and that's it. I have to mention that I sent it 5 times so far to service and every single time they couldn't find the problem. 5th time I gave my cell phone to Telenor salesman to use it (because I bought it in Telenor shop) and even she experienced problem after 3-4 min of talking.
After few days they replaced entire motherboard of my cell phone hopping that this will solve the problem because they still couldn't find the exact problem and all worked well. Until two days ago when it all came back.
I don't have any other apps than Viber, all other apps are stock.
I have never messed with ROMs or any other part of cell phone hardware nor software. All is stock since phone is 6 months old.
It's hard to believe that SIM would be a problem since I got brand new SIM when I bought the phone.
My only suspect so far is my SD card. It's very old.
So for the guy in previous post... Try and take it to the service shop and see what they tell you.
As for me I'm asking all vise developers and members of this forum to help me fix my problem. Any advice would be helpful.
Hi guys, I am having a strange problem with my nexus 5, or I should say my Wife's Nexus 5. Right what is happening is that when my wife's phone is connected to a WiFi network it does not receive calls. My phone is identical and has no problems at all. The phone has been back to where we bought it from for repair twice and they finally gave us a brand new phone. After getting home and restoring my wife's phone it has the same problem. Both phones are stock and updated to 4.4.4 . I have checked the settings and as far as I can see they are identical. If I reboot the phone it will ring with WiFi on but after a couple of minutes the problem returns.
Now I would guess that an app is causing the problem but I have tried uninstalling and re installing most of her apps but still can't solve this. I have spent ages on the phone to our provider (T-Mobile UK) tried my sim in her phone but still have the same problem. Is there any type of diagnostic software or app I can run to try and pin point the problem?
The phone has been factory reset but still got the same problem! Bearing in mind the phone is brand new and has the same problem as the old one its got to be an app hasn't it, but how to work out which one
Thanks in advance

Well after an evening of uninstalling and re-installing apps and resetting it seems to have cured itself. I am sure it was something to do with the recent system update, as the problem only started recently. The phone is just over 6 months old and we have had no problems until this. Still fingers crossed it seems ok now.

Hi, i'm having the same problem!! When on wifi sometimes calls get through but most of the time it blocks them, I also thought it had to be something about an app but i even booted the phone into safemode which disables all 3rd party apps and the issue was still there. Where you being able to narrow it down to something in particular??
EDIT: Nevermind, i think i found a thread with the solution.

I should have updated ages ago, the problem was in fact being caused by the sim card. Dont know why it suddenly started playing up but it coincided with the software update to 4.4.4 But my phone was identical and had no problem and my wifes did. Compared to hers my sim was relatively new we eventually ordered a replacement sim and there has been no problem since
Sorry I could not be any more help
Hello everyone,
I have recently bought a new xperia z3 D6633. Issue is, the right side of my phone's display appears darker/grayish than left side (on white/light background). Almost half of right side appears grayish. I m not sure if this is a hardware issue or software. I m on lollipop latest build available for my phone.
Is anyone else facing the same issue? Is there any way i can fix this issue.

Seems like a hardware issue and I would replace my phone on warranty.
To be certain, just repair your phone using Sony PC companion and see if it gets better or stays the same.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately my phone is not in warranty, I got it wothout warranty and now having this issue. Anyway can you please tell me how to repair phone using PC companion? Last time I tried it, it flashed factory ROM again and wiped all my data. But let me check PC companion again.
To me, it also seems a hardware issue.

Hello fellow z3'ers, so I picked up a 2nd hand z3. He was the original owner. He also sent it back to sony because of a previous problem which was it wasn't connecting to a network. So he got a replacement. Which I have now.
The vibrate does not work with any notifications or phone calls or texting.
I'm not rooted. On the latest 5.1.1 build 23.4.A.1.232
The good part is that he said he would handle the warranty exchange for me.
But I would like to know if anyone has had this problem or know how to fix it. Because I don't want to send it in but I will of I have to. So yea.
I've factory resetted already. Don't know what else besides that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
