Really Low Mic Volume - Sony Xperia M2

Hello,
A friend of mine has the Xperia M2, and he told me that his phone's mic wasn't working. I checked his phone and i noticed that you had to scream through the microphone in order for it to pick up some noise. I resetted the phone to factory settings and the microphone was working fine, but after one hour it wouldn't work again. If anyone knows anything else that i can try please let me know. By the way the software is on 4.4.4 Kit-Kat. I don't remember which build though but if this is needed i can find out.
Greetings.

Flash the more recent build, if it dont work go to the service center

Have you run a diagnostic test #*#*7378423*#*#

I bought a new mic board on ebay for £7 it took ten minutes to do. Easy to follow videos online.

my xperia overheating

hello, may I notice from my xperia very hot when I browse in 3g. yet I do anything huge, I'm on facebook instagram and other apps of this kind. I kitkat was then I passed in 4.3 but I still have that problem, and the same when I charge and I use it. if you have any solutions thank you in advance
I have the same problem on 4G. I guess that overheating during charging migt be expected
I see there has been no activity on this thread since September 2014, but I too have the same problem with my xperia M2:
both on 3G and 4G the phone is overheating, even though I only do some browsing, or Facebook scrolling....
The overheating is not happening when on wireless.
The phone is currently running 4.4.4, and it is rooted
Anyone has a fix for this?
Its gonna get warm. I've seen 37c on my phone. That's why Sony throttled the chip to 1.2htz to stop it over heating. It's near the camera I think. Lots of other factors like the screen brightness, is it in a case, do you get good reception and how much is running in the background. Personally I don't think you have owt to worry about unless you over clock it.

ok. thanx for the tips.
the idea is that I only have the phone for about one week, so I wasn't very sure if that heating (you're right - around the camera) was normal.

That overheating is expected I guess. I discovered that it usually overheats when theres a lot of background processes and also while charging. But sometimes the middle-top part of the screen also overheats a lot and it feel like dangerous. Really u can nearly hurt your finger when you scrolling down Facebook. I guess that's just the way M2 is built so there's no fix for overheating. Maybe of u under volt the chip, then it will save battery and probably won't be overheating anymore but the speed would be greatly reduced.

I see...
Besides the fact that the overheating is rather uncomfortable, if there is no harm done to the device, I can leave with it.
I googled the problem and it seems that the overheating is indeed a common problem for Xperia M2.
I just hope not to damage the device on the long term.

It'll be fine fella I regularly get 6hrs+ screen on time I'm always on my phone and so far all is good 9mths on. And as the back is plastic n not glass as on the z range so no sudden cracking of the back.

Mine gets nearly 58 Celcius while charging and browsing on the internet. If not charging and just browsing gets nearly 40 Celcius. Around the camera for me too

[Q] My headphone jack doesn't work anymore

Yo guys, rooted my D6603 and installed AndroPlusKernel along with fauxclock, and now I discovered my headpone jack doesn't work. Any help?
Mine stopped working a few days ago (after about 5 weeks since I bought it). Mine is totally stock, seen some threads on sonys forum, but none with info that helps me solve the issue. Right know I use the app soundabout wich can force the sound to go via headphones instead of speakers. So the jack it self seems to work. But the phone is unable to detect that the headphones are plugged in.
So might not be the fact that you have changed the kernel that your jack isn't working.
It happened to me one time, i just flashed the latest firmware via flashtool and worked lik it shoukd.
You can also do it with Sony Pc Compagnion.
CHeers
It happened to me as well, oh my god it was like my heart was going to be taken away and I decided to reboot my device.. And boom after the reboot process, it worked like a charm, one more thing, I've never root this device..

[Q] Z3 dual Sim Microphone problem

bought my Z3 dual sim 3 days ago and already getting upset about it.
Microphone is not working on a normal mode, people can not hear me or hear my voice very low.
It is working perfectly while using speakers mode.
I already tried to re install all system and once done microphone is working (even if not perfectly but people can hear at least what i am saying...) and after a while, it is like the microphone is getting an obturation...
I tried as well to unselect the noise control mode but no issues...
it seems to be a software issue.
Somebody can help me?
Android 5 could be able to solve this?
Thanks for your attention!

[Q] How can I close the back case of Xperia M2?

After the phone repaired by the Service Center, my back phone is a little bit opened. what should I do to close that? Is there any type of glue needed for it or should I buy a new backcase? I'm sorry if I don't explain it correctly.
Why you dont go back to you service center?
Don't even try to repair it, take it back

@lilhack_09 @[email protected] because the service center of Sony in Indonesia has bad reputation and really slow service. I'm afraid my phone doesn't come back. And won't finished.
So then get it to a third hand place but I think that will kill your warranty
@lilhack_09 thank you for your suggestion. I appreciate it.

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Serious issue in Xperia Z3. Please check the issues list.

Hi All Friends / Technical Guys in XDA forum,
I'm facing serious issues in my Xperia Z3 mobile phone. Before one month I've purchased Xperia Z3 phone from online market. After i received the item i noticed phone doesn't work NFC function. After two days i noticed GPS also not working as well. And Battery drain in stand by mode. Now day before yesterday phone calls also not working. It means my voice doesn't hear to other party. And when i listen to music using headphones. I can hear really loud cracking noise through the both headphone speakers. Also I've changed couple of my headphones, every headphone has same issue. And WIFI really slow. I've checked WIFI from couple of wifi routers.
Issues List
NFC not working
GPS not working
WIFI slow
Huge battery drain
Can't hear my voice to other party during calls
Really huge cracking noice in headphones
Solutions that i have tried
Factory reset the phone
Flash the OS using Sony FlahTool (androxyde)
Change Marshmallows (Current OS) to Lollipop and KitKat
For WIFI I've tested using multiple routers and changed the channels in router
And checked using Speed Test, Speed test got 50+Mbps but surfing speed is daim slow
For headphones issue checked using couple of headphones
For GPS checked using GPS test, did not connect to any satellite
For calls issue tested voice test using Sony diagnostics not recording my voice
From the above solutions none of them are worked.
So guys i need to know why this happen? And what is this fault? Is it because of the defect mainbored? or other issue?
Please if you guys can tell me what is the exact issue from this details. i can replace the part if it is hardware issue.
unlock bootloader and etc
the best thing u can do unlock bootloader then flash a custom kernel and flash custom rom then wait and see it resolved or not
@John8Metallo8Corben Thanks for the reply. Actually this phone is prototype. If you can may i know what you mean by unlock bootloader? it means root the phone? And may i know about good custom roms for the Xperia Z3.
Not sure if prototype phone get software update, so maybe revert back to original firmware can help?
From xperiafirm find the oldest firmware (store or journalist firmware) and flash while wiping everything in flaahtool.
Really thanks for your reply mate. @gm007 I've checked whether it has any software update for the prototype phones, But unfortunately i haven't found it in google. And i revert back to two OSs (KitKat and Lollipop). I thought it will work but not good result. Same issues have after revert back. But after some researched i found one solution for two issues. One is about proximity sensor, other one is can't hear my voice to other party. Those issues will okay when i press the top speaker area and bottom mic area , When i lose it, again have issue. Now i will give this phone to mobile repair shop. But please let me know if you get any answer for these issues. Thanks again for your reply
Disassemble your phone and clean all the connections and contacts,maybe ur phone has swim in water.
