My new z3 d6603 sounds like a tornado to people receiving my call. - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So basically to everyone who receives my call it sounds like rushing wind. I've tested multiple different things and it sounds the same. I even went into the phone configuration menu and ran a test recording on the primary mic and still the same tornado. For a short while, turning off the WiFi fixed the issue, but now it is on going thing. I have read around other Z forums and have read that recent android updates have caused over sensitive mic and audio issues.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Is this software or faulty hardware issue?
Does anyone have any fixes for this?
Is there some sort of setting I missed? (I have turned mic sensitivity down in settings but no change.

Disable noise cancelling option for call and see if that helps, I have not encountered this.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I already tried that and it didn't work. Thanks though.

Get a new one, because, I just got a replacement (due to light bleed), and even my old one never had any audio problems.

static clicking noise

does anyone have any static clicking noise? for example b4 some sort of sound comes on u hear a little static click from phone, or right when about to call, u click call and a clicking static noise clicks once or twice then calls? everything runs perfect, but this noise annoys me so much? is there a fix for this or do i need something?
no idea what you are talking about :/ if you add ROM, device (Fuze, sprint touch pro, Touch pro Europe,etc.) and Radio (stock or not)
I'm guessing it's a radio problem but that's just my minor educated guess. Also when does this happen? phone call, sms, before ALL sounds?
i've tried many different radios same problem, usually occurs right b4 sounds occur, say i click on a contact ill hear this static click and etc
Not sure what you're asking, so please clarify. Also this doesn't belong in the rom development forum. I'm moving to the raphael general forum.
for example, when sounds are coming out right b4 they do, a static clicking sounds comes out of speaker. for example, i press call, right b4 the call starts i hear click then it begins dialing. the voice and talking is flawless but that clicking noise is just annoying me
I get the same sound on my Fuze. it is very annoying. I hear it before most sounds and if I enable event sounds I hear it on almost every screen touch. It sounds to me like the speaker is being "powered up" in some way. I think that it is also a cause of battery drain. Since I turned off the event sounds the battery lasts much longer.
One other thing that I noticed is that back of my device near the speaker would get hot when I heard this sound a lot.
I am using NATF 2.3 ROM but it happened with 2.2 also. I have not changed the radio.
IF anyone has any advice I would appreciate it, as the first posted stated, it is annoying.

I had similar issues with my phone a while ago. I took it back to the ATT store and they said not to worry about it, unless it got worse. I've since completely reset my phone and started from scratch and it doesn't do it any more. I used to get it alot with opening and closing the keyboard, but also with screen touches too. But, knock on wood, it's not happened since I reset my phone.
yes, chris thats exactly it... let me try event sounds and see if i have same issue there.
cant remember but i dont think i had it in romeos 1.4 and difinately did not have it when i first started flashing or the stock rom that came with it... not sure if its something now in these new roms. i just dont want to flash my phone right now bc i have it set up the perfect way for me, as its fast. responsive..... but if its last resort i will go back to romeos 1.4 to experiment it out

I've been hearing this sort of noise myself, and I have the AT&T stock Rom on my Fuze. I hope it's not another bug with the phone, for I can not return mine (past 30 days & phone return limit). It's not that bad so I ignore it. I only hear it before it rings, not during my calls so it's ok.
Please go to Start, Settings, Personal, Sounds and Notifications and disable screen taps!

lol its a little more complex than that.... it seems like the speaker has to turn on or sumtin, its weird. like states in a previous comment, its right b4 any sound occurs, but during calls etc it is perfect.
Yep, I had that noise on both my original and replacement Fuze's.
Sounds like GSM buzz on the speaker - like when you have your phone next to a T.V. and you get a call or text.
I had this noise on the first fuze I got, 2nd and 3rd did not have it.
It sounds to me like the sound chip is in 'deep sleep' mode, and when the wake event is triggered, some voltage is getting passed on to the speaker, hence the short 'click' noise, which only occurs at the start of audio streams (the sound chip goes back into sleep mode shortly after playing the sound, which is why you again hear a click later)
If you don't hear any clicking in a steady stream of sound (like playing an mp3) this is pretty likely to be the cause.
is there any fix for this or anything we can do to avoid the clicking? its just an annoying sound even though im starting to get sued to it still frustrating lol
Fix Please?!?1
yes i need a fix please this is annoying... i might go back to the g1 if i cant find a fix
i think i have narrowed the problem down, im going to reflash my phone and will post an update in the next 20-30 minutes
Any updates on this? I get it constantly (before calls and other alerts, just before playing a song, when playing Teeter...)
Has done it on the original 3 (au) firmware, the 2nd update of the 3 (au) firmware, Elite RC2 and ROMeOS 1.5x and 1.7x.
Never gone away
UPDATE:
if u are having this issue, please call your cell phone company, and ask for a trade... its a sign of speaker going bad... i got new one and problem is fixed.

[Q] Nexus 5 Microphone Not Working

My Nexus 5 microphone does not seem to be working while in calls. What is strange is it seems to work jsut fine when used in Skype, suggesting that this is a software issue. Also strange is that when I turn the microphone mute on/off during a call, I can hear that when the microphone is muted there is less fuzzy white noise. Has anyone encountered this issue? Is this a defective device? I've flashed this device with alternative ROMs, and now I've reflashed it with the factory stock ROM. But nothing changes the behavior that I've described.
I discovered another thread on this that seems related to what I am experiencing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538979
Have you done anything to the device other than ROM flashing (flashed kernel, MODs, etc)?

I think the answer to that question is no. I mean, I had also installed various apps and the like.

Yep, you have the problem many people have encountered with their Nexus 5. I occasionally have this issue. It isn't as bad as when I first got the phone, but the microphone does occasionally go wonky during a call (i.e. callers on the other line say I sound really far away from the phone). The first 2-3 weeks I had the phone people would say all they heard was static while using the microphone (not speakerphone). It works better now, but the static/distant sound persists at times.
The consensus suggests it seems to be a software related issue that Google has not addressed yet.

In-call volume reset after every call

Hello buddies, I own a 64gb One bought directly from OnePlus.
But I'm facing a serious issue. When I speak on a call I have the call volume set to max. But many times when receiving calls the call volume has been reset two clicks down. It's like it can't "save" the setting for the in-call volume.
Any thoughts?
I'm on 33R, and already did a hard reset but the problem insist.
When i was in 33r, i faced this too. Switched to cm nightly and Mahdi. once i reinstalled 33r and the issue was gone. So i think a simple reflash could do it, not reset. Or wait for the 38 update. This could overwrite the culprit too...
My volume stayed at max then, so it is not a "feature" i think.
Thanks for the answer kondroid.
My device is completely stock and even though after a hard reset the issue is there.
I don't have the time to install everything from scratch so I'll wait for the 38R OTA update.
But if the problem insist after the update how can I reflash the device to a completely factory stock 38R or 33R?

Hmm, weird. Only time I get this is when using earphones.
There is a setting:
Settings-> Sound -> Volumes.
Uncheck safe headset volume.
But that is for headsets. You already said you dont use it.
Cant think of anything else. Meanwhile, try Volume+ and see if it helps. I've not use it, but just read about it.
I'm experiencing the same issue, have yet to find a solution other then manually cranking the in-call volume up to max every time. Not a biggy for me though.

Yup, I have unchecked it but it's for the headset that I'm not using.
Unfortunately Volume+ doesn't help, it's CM11 issue.

I'm talking numerous times a day on the phone because of my work, and it's pretty annoying 50 times a day to crank up the volume.

Mine is with every 2nd/3rd call or so, not EVERY single call, but i do agree with you, its pretty annoying, but since i haven't found a solution yet, and haven't heard of anyone else complaining about it (except now for you) i figured id just live with it. If its solvable then by all means i would like to have it solved.
Same issue here, still no solution. Posting a Q&A post here, to gain more attention. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/call-volume-automatically-reset-to-low-t3273699
Did anyone find a solution or got this solved?? I have the same problem as bill_viper
I am on CM11 44s, I set the volume to 2 notches and it resets back to full when on another call. The setting is not getting saved or something.
This problem has cropped up a couple of days back, previously it was working fine.
Anyone having any idea?
what is you use the volume rocker and only "priority notifications" are shown and reboot the device.

OP6 bluetooth volume fluctuates

Hey I think this problem came after updating to official pie.
The problem is that if I play music on Spotify using a Bluetooth speaker the volume sometimes lowers itself then goes back to the normal volume, then lowers itself again, and it keeps doing that. I have tried 2 different Bluetooth speakers and same problem on both of them. This doesn't happen to my friends phone on of the speakers which is his. Does anyone else have this problem ask as well? It's have you fixed it? Headphone volume is working properly, it's only the Bluetooth.
I think the problem was that I had the volume slider on my phone at Max and only used the buttons on the speaker device to adjust the volume. Having the slider at about 50% I now don't have that problem, for now at least. It was the low bassy parts of songs that most often got it's volume lowered for bit.
You're not crazy! It happened to me and drove me crazy. I think it was an issue with Spotify although I'm not sure but it's gone for me now as far as I can tell..
Finally someone else also. I posted about this one other time but nobody came across. But I guess V4A helped in it, I'm not sure though.

Drove me crazy as well, I did a factory reset. However, the problem got worse, the maximum volume of all my bluetooth devices was extremely low.
I finally fixed the problem by disabling the "Disable absolute volume" in the developer option menu.
Love the oneplus phones, (started at the one), but the audio especially over bluetooth really bothers me...

My first OnePlus phone was also the One. And upgrading to the 6 best decision ever still. But yeah the Bluetooth problem needs to be fixed :/ I tried the disable absolute volume to a while ago but it didn't help for me with the volume going up an down by itself.
This is happening to me. I thought it was my headphones or Deezer but I've tried the headphones with more devices and it doesn't happen. Glad I'm not the only one.
I've had this same issue occur whenever I had V4A Installed. After installation and setup, it'd work just fine, then randomly this same issue occurred. Curious to see if anyone can relate
same problem here, I fixed it by using a custom rom for now
Turn off Bluetooth

Same, but it happened right after 9.0.3 I was trying to listen to some music on YouTube and SoundCloud. It doesn't matter what app I think

This fix is working great. Somehow the audio tuner was conflicting with Bluetooth audio output. Although I feel the sound is now a bit flat, the annoying issue is resolved. Need to test this on 9.0.3.

After updating to 9.0.3 Oxygen OS. The issue is completely gone. We can now use audio tuner on Bluetooth headphones.

Microphone Issue

Hi People
I have very annoying microphone issue in my phone. Sometimes microphone stops recording sound during video shots and the problem disappear as soon as I reboot phone. What could be the reason and how to fix this? Thanks for your comments and helps
PS: I believe it is not faulty hardware related.

Thanks for the solution I also noticed that Google assistant seems to cause the problem. I am glad that I am not the only one who faces this issue. One note, always check microphone before starting a video record otherwise the end result could be disappointing
