Hi All,
I've updated today my android ver to 4.4.4
I found that I don't have sound when using the phone normally while in call, only after I switch to speaker I get sound.
It works both ways, meaning, the other side can't hear me as well until I switch to speaker mode !
This is a really big bug, has anyone else encountered that too ? any suggestions for solution ?
The problem is pretty severe, I tried installing stock 4.4.3 and it didn't solve anything (used 'flash-all')
I have no idea how to fix this issue now.
Thank you
I have exactly the same problem. Restarting the phone fixes it for a moment, but then it happens again.
EDIT:
I did a clean flash with 4.4.4 - everything seems right so far. I guess that's why dirty flashs aren't recommended.
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.
On MY OPO No Nougat ROMs Provide Front Speaker (Earpiece) Audio During Phone Call--Only Speakerphone Works.
Using TWRP 3.0.2-0, I have installed almost every available Nougat ROM, with varying degrees of GApps, and my phone doesn't have a working front speaker (earpiece) during calls with any of them, using either the stock dialer, or the Google Phone downloaded from the Play Store.
If your phone is behaving the same way, please post your logcats here along with a brief description of what you've tried to fix it, or what did fix it.
Also, if you are experiencing this issue, did you ever use Msm8974DownloadTool.exe to recover from a HARD BRICK? I'm looking for something in common with other phones with this issue, and so far this is the only thing I can think of that could possibly make my phone different from any other phones in which the front speaker does work.
Hopefully, someone has a fix, or will see something reparable.
Thanks,
pbergonzi

FIXED:
As of 2016/11/02, ROM's are coming with the front speaker (earpiece) working properly.
If you don't plan on using any newer Nougat ROM, or if yours doesn't work, you might try the fix @kwoktopus provided in his post:

Don't know how to log cat, but, I have never used Msm8974DownloadTool.exe before and am getting the same issue with the ear piece. I did however find a 7.1 rom that worked, but the video recorder didn't work. I used the tuga 7.1 rom yesterday, earpiece worked, I'm using Nitrogen OS today, earpiece is not working. I hope this helps someone find a solution... I don't think a logcat would help from this rom and I don't feel like flashing back and forth. Everything else on this rom is working flawlessly.
Just noticed you have a tutorial linked on how to logcat, but like I said, I'm on a rom with the same issue so I don't feel like it would help. Try Tuga or whatever it's called and see if you can get it to work.
I have the exact same issue on all Nougat ROMs I tried (Slim7, PureNexus, etc.). Both the earpiece and microphone does not work in calls. The only way I could hear the other person and the other person could hear me was when I was on Speaker or using headsets.
I have now switched back to M. Will send my logcat after I install N again.
After @Hig13's response, I reinstalled TugaPower N3 and N4, and both worked with the front speaker! I'm very glad, thank you @danieldmm.
I hope other devs are able to implement what he has done.
I'm not finished with N ROM's yet though.
Edit: As of 2/11/2016, TugaPower N4 ROM has working video recording. Big congrats to danieldmm.

Hey,
I've got a problem with my z5 with newest firmware.
Sometimes during a call I can't hear my partner. Only with handsfree. Then I go to service menu and check speakers left and right and they work. After this test I can call and hear my partner. After some time, I can't.
I have this issue since 5.1.1
When I flashed Android 6, I wiped it completely.
I've andropluskernel and stock Rom
Has viper4android something to do with it?
Somebody maybe has an idea
Hello,
i have this Problem when im in a Phone Call, the other cant understand me very vell. It is like i am far away from my Phone und if i had a stottering problem. When i turn on the speakers, there is the problem that the other hear's himself (echo). When i use bluetooth headset or cable headset, there arent communication problems. So my first thought was incorrect working hardware (microfone). When i send audiomessages via Whatsapp, or record Audio, quality is pritty normal.
I guess this is a software problem? Anyone know how to solve it. I am living with that for a while now but no update is fixing this.
My System
Osprey, CM13, Cm version: 13.0-20161028 nightly
Exactly the same problem here with XT1541 2GB EU model running 6.0.1 stock. Just got it back from repair under warranty that was supposed to fix this issues but same problem persists. It is really annoying and have to use loudspeaker all the time or bluetooth device.
Anybody has a hint???
