Hi all,
I am from Australia and got a sony z3 the weekend and so far it has been great but I am having an issue when talking to people over viber/skype. When using video chat or loud speaker the other person can hear themselves back quit loudly like it is an echo. Even if i put the headphones in on my phone they can still hear themselves back but it isn't as loud.
If I switch to my old samsung s3 it has no problems I am using the same wifi etc same location and calling the same people.
There doesn't seem to be much of a issue when calling normal and using the loud speaker. Just with apps like viber/skype.
Does anyone else have this issue at all? Or can anyone test video/using loud speaker on Viber and letting me know if they have the same issue or is my phone possibly faulty?
Thanks Matt
Try a reboot.
Or try another app. It's possible Viber/Skype doesn't use noise cancellation. You could always use a headset or BT speaker (set it further away from the phone). If that all fails, there's a Mic Sensitivity setting under Settings -> Sound -> Audio Settings.
Thanks for the reply,
I have tried rebooting and it didnt help. I have also tried using headphones and while it made it a bit quieter they still had the same problem.
I will have a go at messing with the sound settings, thanks.
I think i am just going to take it back and see if it is just my phone with the issue or all z3's
Is anyone able to test on the z3 and video call someone on viber and let me know if they have the same issue?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi guys.
I have an in-call problem with my Desire S.
This does not happen when I get called, just when I initiate a call.
When I call someone, the other part of the conversation will always hear a great noise or interference coming from my phone's microphone to the point that my voice is not understandable anymore.
I noticed though, that if I switch to speaker and back to earpiece the problem gets solved for that particular conversation.
Do you guys know of any permanent fix for this?
thanks.
Hey... nice to see a felow ro. on this forum.
Try a factory reset...it sounds to me like a software problem.
If that doesn't do it.....waranty should cover it.
Ok. So I hard reset and after spending a whole lot of time which I did not have reconfiguring the phone, I got the same problem.
And I figured out that the culprit is the Keep Service option in PowerAmp. Unchecked that and no more problems... and no warranty call... phew!
So i had the L preview on my Nexus 5 previously, no root or anything. Then on friday I flashed the factory lollipop using Nexus Root Toolkit. Everything has been fine except making calls.
When i get a phone call it rings i answer but cannot hear anything - unless i press the loudspeaker button then i can hear the other person and they can hear me. and the same when i make a call too - i cannot even hear the dialing tone normally.
I flashed again today to try and fix this and then reset to factory defaults. Didn't get any errors on flash. still no sound or mic on calls unless i turn on loudspeaker.
Does anyone know what could be causing this and if theres a fix for it?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Is there a way of verifying if it's a hardware issue?

i guess i could flash kitkat again? but the thing is that switching it to speaker allows my mic to work also. so its a software thing i think. Not sure how to test the earpiece speaker however.
i solved this problem, it was a stupid thing i had in my headphone jack called pressy.
Hi all,
As the title suggests, everytime when I am making a call on blueooth (car), the ring\dial tone will stay silent for the rest of the process until the call is connected. I have also looked into the settings menu under sounds but with no help, tried deleting and repairing the devices and no luck. Is anybody else experiencing this problem and better yet, found a solution for this?
My friend is also experiencing same issue and we are using Ford car Bluetooth connection.
Also happens on my Nexus 4 newly upgraded to lollopop.
Fine for incoming calls but silent for outgoing. Switching to speakerphone on the device then back to bluetooth seems to manually make it route the call through the bluetooth handsfree but is obviously very unsafe.
Suprised more people havent mentioned this issue!
Managed to find a fix? 5.0.1 doesnt sort it sadly.
Finally I see someone acknowledging the issue.
Nope, could not find any fix and surprisingly no one is mentioning this issue anywhere. Experts in this forum should help us with some solution.
Got the workaround

You can put the source of the audio system to Bluetooth audio and you should be able to hear the dialtone. Afcoure your call end buttons on audio system will not work while on dialtone. After the phone is picked-up the buttons start working
So I got my Moto G about 5 months ago and the microphone picked up everything fine, but as of recently if I try and take a video or use any other application that requires a microphone to pick up sound, I wont hear anything after I play it back even if I put the volume on max. Calling someone works fine because they can hear me still, but if im not using the phone, it doesnt work as in you hear no sound at all. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem?
My advice is to ask the Moto Support on Twitter, yes I know that here you can, but give a try
I had an issue similar to this - the microphone didn't pick up anything, speaker did work. Don't know if it's related but the Facebook app had permission to use the microphone - i went into settings and disabled that permission and then tested the mic, it started working...

Hi, everyone. I have Lenovo K900 Android version: 4.2.1. Recently I changed the battery since then my mic hasn't been working during phone calls, both regular calls and on WhatsApp. Although it works perfectly when shooting a video, making an audio recording, voice searching etc., only during calls. It's not completely broken if I shout right into the mic the receiver can hear me
very badly (as if I was talking underwater or from very far). Other things to point out:
1) I can hear people well, so there is no problem with my speakers.
2) Using speaker (in order to enhance the mic) during a call doesn't help at all.
3) It has a very problematic back cover, so it took a lot of physical effort to open it, so my suspicion is that mic could have been damaged, though it seems unlikely since it works very well outside the calls.
4) Using a headset mic during phone calls works perfectly.
5) I don't have a warranty.
Some things I've tried so far to fix the problem:
1) Hard reset the system (twice), both normal reset and hard reset (thus deleting all the apps, so I'm doubtful, it could be a software problem)
2) Turned off "Background Voice Cancellation" and put mic quality to "bright".
3) Turned off "Ok google" voice option.
4) Made sure that it wasn't my fingers covering the mic causing the problem
5) Rebooting the system multiple times.
6) Using headset during the call, ending the call with headset on and only then taking it off in hopes to reset built-in mic settings.
7) Downloading "Sound About" app.
None of these options helped, even slightly.
I really believe that it's fixable since the mic works everywhere apart from calls, and even there it works, just unbearably quiet. I have one last idea left, which is to change the Android version completely, maybe upgrade it. Please, if you have any ideas, respond, this bug is driving me crazy. Thanks, everyone, in advance for your help!

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following thread that's specific to your device.
