T-Mobile Z3 (D6616) Speaker phone not working - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Recently I noticed that when I put a call on speaker, I can hear just fine, but the person on the other end can't hear me at all, and in some cases report a loud, windy noise. I don't understand what's causing this, as the normal phone works fine, the microphone records my voice clearly when using a voice recorder, and the video camera records sounds flawlessly.
Could this be an issue with the network? Or does the speakerphone use a separate microphone? Maybe the phone's hardware/software?

I have the same issue with a brand new Z3 from Tmobile as well. Guess what, so does my wife who ordered one on the same day!
The issue we have is that if you switch the phone to speakerphone, there's this crazy background noise that makes hearing someone completely impossible. I read on a different forum that the fix is to go to SETTINGS/CALL SETTINGS/ and turn off the Microphone Noise Canceler. While that does drop the noise out completely, the lack of a noise canceler means the other person can now hear themselves talking when on the phone with you.
I also tried another setting someone recommended which is called CLEAR+, but that sadly didn't have any effect at all.
Anyone else figured this out?

I know this post is old but I seem to have the same problem (minus the noise you guys describe). During an in ear call, the conversation is crystal clear both ways, it is when i place the call on speaker that the other end cannot hear me.
Searching for a solution, I came up with two (some say the OK GOOGLE works perfect, while for others it has no impact).
I have tried the OK Google 'fix' unfortunately, this did not work on my handset. Google app > Settings > Voice > OK Google Detection (switch off)
What seemed to "help" (didn't really fix the problem though) is going into Google Music app > Equalizer > Mic sensitivity > High
While the person on the other end can now hear me, it seems my voice is not too crisp and clear. Not sure what else to do in order to get the mic to work properly over speaker.

Skype Microphone Issues

I installed Skype onto my rooted Galaxy SIII running 4.1.2 and ParanoidAndroid 2.56, my call quality is excellent through my cell line however trying to use Skype for video calls on my device leaves nothing but static on the other end. Even when I stay totally silent, the receiving line will not hear a peep but once I raise my voice, the white noise comes out to wreak havoc and does not stop until I mute the microphone in-call. Un-muting will only bring back the white noise. I can hear my caller just fine, but he cannot hear me. I have tried calling and receiving both ways through Wi-Fi, LTE and 3G connections to no avail.
I have also reset the dalvik cache and fixed permissions, in addition to disabling noise cancellation through the Call Settings on my phone. I'm running the kernel which came with my ROM, which I honestly cannot remember what it is. Would flashing another kernel help with a problem like this or would it only solve issues through my cell number's telephony? I have excellent call quality through my cell phone, but Skype itself leaves nothing but static even when I am not speaking. I would try to clean both my microphone holes on the bottom and the top if the static were to be on my cell telephony but it seems like it is only limited to Skype itself. I may try and back up my ROM through CWM recovery and wipe the system.
Anyone else experience an issue such as this and could give advice?
I use the Skype version found here:

I was having the same problem until I enabled Use MODE_IN_CALL found in the Sound Section of Advanced Settings. Hope this helps!

[Q] Problem in playing an audio in an active call

Hi everyone,
First of all I am a new comer in the world of android and new to this forum. So I need guidance from experienced people like you guys.
I was trying to make an Auto Answering Machine in android. When there is an incoming call, the application should receive it and play an welcome message to the caller. I know its not possible to play the audio message in call stream. So my idea was to play the audio in loudspeaker, thinking that it'll be picked up by the microphone and the caller will hear it.
The problem is the microphone doesn't pick the sound from the speaker whereas at the same time it picks all other sounds from other sources. Hence the caller can't hear the welcome message. I didn't know what was the reason and after lot of searching I found out that it was due to "Echo cancellation" technique used in telephony, which is used to remove similar patterns. For example, when the receiver intentionally want to speak in loudspeaker, the speaker voice should not get propagated to the caller. Hence the technique of "Echo Cancellation" is used.
So my question is, is there any way I can overcome my situation? Can I stop the echo cancellation or any other techniques? I would really appreciate any kind of help.
I have the same problem

Bad Call Quality/Volume on LG G3 D850, any fix?

Initial Title: Disabling Voice Privacy Option on LG G3 D850, how?
Hello mates .
Call Quality and Volume are not being good so far, and i saw people saying to turn off "Voice enhancement, Noise Suppression, and Voice Privacy", well the thing is... Where's Voice Privacy option in this model? :S, is there any way to make it visible by changing anything on build.prop or other file? "just like when on build.prop we change the line ro.build.target_operator from "ATT" to "OPEN" and more options become visible on the network options just like being able to choose between 2g/3g/4g, that by default is a hidden option in this model".
Don't think it's faulty device because hearing music on the in-call speaker is working without problems, and recording voice is also good.
Please help me, it's frustrating having a phone BAD in Phonecalls .
Best Regards

Title: Bad Call Quality/Volume on LG G3 D850, any fix?
Messing around a little bit more i found out how to add Voice Privacy Option on D850, but i don't recommend because it's useless, that option is only on CDMA mode and as D850 doesn't have CDMA you can be sure that just like happened to me your SIM won't be recognized anymore on your phone and you'll have to factory reset/full wipe all, so Forget it really!
About the bad quality/volume on calls, since front speaker hears good on listening to music and recording voice, maybe a software or hardware problem "in Kit Kat i noticed it was worse than Lollipop" but even on Lollipop quality and Volume are still bad, so i wanna ask you: any fix for this bad call quality?, and: what is the name of the object on smartphones, that works like an antenna for the calls?, because maybe it can be a faulty piece being fixable by replacing with a new one.
Best Regards

It was be under calling or phone under settings. And depends on what you mean by bad call quality. That normally is an issue with the mic or network issue

Thanks for answering.
Yes but the thing is that the Option Voice Privacy seems to be a not 'visible' setting on this model "just like the changing 2g/3g/4g Network, but was visible after changes in build.prop" :S.
Bad quality - It should be more clear, loud, and it seems like it's trying to suppress noise even without that option activated".
Network has maximum signal, and mic records well on Voice Recording so it should do fine also on calls i think :S.
PS: also heard about Hd Voice and presets on phonecalls, where's those options at in this model?.

Can I use second microphone for calls ?

I have a huawei p10 lite and recently people couldnt hear me well when talking on the phone. I checked via voice/video recording, whatsapp calling, using loud speaker etc and found out that main mic has problems, but secondary mic located on the top records good and clearly. So is there any app, mod or something I can do to make the secondary mic default for normal call speaking? I have warranty but where I live companies are crap, I am certain they will just say you broke it since I even tried it in front of them for call quality etc and it was ok back than.

Incoming/Outgoing calls issue on the G7 One LM-Q910UM

I have been experiencing incoming call issues. Also outgoing call issues but not as frequent.
Incoming calls while on Android 10 are silent. I cannot hear the caller and they cannot hear me. If I enable speaker phone I hear them and they hear me fine, I then can disable speaker phone back to the ear piece and all is normal again. I am not sure if this is for carrier specific incoming calls or just a sw bug or both...
Outgoing call issue has happened a couple times. In this circumstance I made a call put it on speaker phone. It was on speaker for a while the call was fine I could hear everything so I muted my side until I needed to speak. When I un-muted they could not hear me. I took it off speaker while un-muted and still nobody could hear me. I had to hang up and switch sim cards back to my V30+ because of this issue.
I have yet to test other dialers or phone apps, to see what might be happening here. Anyone have any suggestions to check logs or is there a way to get to a service menu to troubleshoot?
