I searched the forums and google for this issue with no avail. I am pretty sure this is a issue of Cyanogenmod (I think I read that somewhere) but I still would like to know if there is a fix I can apply.
I am on Inferior Human Organs Purity X (On Optimus V). When I am on an internet call (only internet calls; regular calls work but I don't use those) and press the speakerphone button, it turns on for a split second on the speaker then re-routes through the ear piece. The icon stays on the notification bar but the call does not stay in speaker mode for more than a split second. Is there any remedy for this issue?

Anybody have any hints for using voice recognition with a headset? It knows I'm trying to talk to it, but it doesn't seem to know what I'm saying so it keeps telling me to try again instead of dialing.
I've been experimenting and if I use the Voice Search application on the phone everything appears to work except that somehow sound coming and going is completely cut off.
Voice Dialer doesn't work with the headset or without.
I can use Voice Search to place the call and then turn on my headset and switch over, but I get an error on the screen that the communication app has failed. The error being on screen doesn't interfere with the call though.
Odd effect is that the volume control buttons got stuck on bluetooth in-call volume. I had to restart the phone to clear it.
I assume you are referring to voice dialing from a bluetooth headset. As far as I can tell from reading the forums it never worked but has been fixed in the new 351 update (Android 2.2.2). It didnt work for me on the 318 build but now does on the 351 build. I dont believe voice search works from a bluetooth headset though as far as I know.

i use cyberon voice speed dial, it works but u have to shout loud the names
tried with different bt headsets
So whenever my phone is in the dock (samsung desktop or car) the sound switches to line out (sadly for everything but calls but that's another topic).
When the phone is silent and i hit anything that makes a sound, it's like it turns on the sound system and there's a large crack in my speakers everytime.
Is there anyway to fix that atm?
I've tried looking around but couldnt find any similar post.
Hi everyone,
I'm using the Black Widow ICS ROM for Droid RAZR & RAZR MAXX. I like the interface of ICS, but am having some difficulties with one particular aspect.
I'm attempting to find some way to replace the default in call application. I assumed that would be by replacing the phone.apk from the latest ICS leak but am not sure. The reason I wish to do this is because the in call screen does not give any options to set which audio output it is using, IE Bluetooth, Headset, or Handset. This limited control of audio output is someone annoying since on the latest ICS leak, the bluetooth functionality doesn't redirect call audio to the handset when Bluetooth is on but disconnected from car or bluetooth headset. This necessitates me toggling bluetooth off every time I leave the car or turn off my bluetooth headset. If I don't turn it off, when I receive a call, my audio is still being routed to the bluetooth connection even though nothing is connected. Since the caller screen doesn't give me the option, I need to drop out of the call by going to the home screen, turn off bluetooth, then go back to the call to activate audio again so that the caller and I can hear each other.
I thought Google Voice may be able to get around this issue, but as it turns out, using it to make or receive calls still displays the default phone's call screen.
I also tried using EX Dialer (which is great for searching for contacts with T9) but since it relies on the device's default phone.apk once a call is placed, doesn't do me much good either.
Any thoughts on how to get around this? I don't know if it's specifically related to the Black Widow Rom, or just all ICS leaks in general. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Link to the ROM I'm referring to can't be posted right now due to account restrictions, but it's found on droidrzr dot com's forums under the title "ROM|Ics-Leak| Black Widow Ics (2012-06-19)"
Thanks!
When I place or receive a regular call the other person can barely hear me unless I speak less than 0.5 inches from the microphone. At less than 0.5t inches, they hear me good. At 2 inches extremely muffled or nill (this is the distance of the mouth in a regular call), and at 3 or more inches nothing at all.
Physically the mic however works fine when recording videos, so it has to be something non-physical. Also confirmed with a test on the Microphone at *#*#7378423#*#* where the both primary and secondary mics record fine.
In desperation I used flashtool and re-image the whole thing (even with erasing all data) with the latest XpriFirm ROM and tested it right after the successful image and without installing any 3rd party apps. The problem still there.
I also tried 3 different ROMs from different countries, but the problem still there.
Using a external wired headset mic works fine.
It seems, like a setting that is aggressively reducing the mic sensitivity just for the phone calls.
Ruled out 3rd party applications, mic physical damage or normal Android setting, I am really lost on to proceed from here!
Does anyone know what to do?

Bootloader has never been unlocked so no root.
Do you have the volume all the way up during the call? As in once call is started turn it up.
Idk how much it will help but have you tried to flash the soundmod? I have never had a problem with the mic other than a small echo on speakerphone. Also have you tried speakerphone wile in call? Might be something wrong with the phone apk, try a third party phone dialer? It wouldn't hurt to go through the sound menus to check everything as well.
Hi!
I doubt is a setting (in the Sound Effects options everything is off) since I flashed a stock clean ROM.
Did not know there are alternative dialers... I will study them today.
Regarding flashing the soundmod, can you do that without being rooted? If so, i'll search in how to do it too.
Cheers and thanks from just a couple of dozen miles south of you Sagnasty.
Have you tried to change the value of microphone sensitivity, although the option is in the Settings / Sound and Notification / Accessory Settings - turn mic sensitivity to high and see how it is then in a conversation?
The Speakerphone as suggested by civicsr2cool was surprising... the mic just picks up voice just fine from the distance in that setting!!
Then I just played with those mic sound settings as per Monipeev, (I did that days ago) but now it did something and in any sensitivity setting works fine... it must have been playing with this setting and the speakerphone one that may have unstuck some mic glitch.
Thanks so much guys... and two think I spend hours trying to solve this and even flashing ROMs! :victory:
Hi everybody. It happend to me with my Xperia Z5 compact as well - the mic did not work properly during call, but when I tested it offline the mic was OK. Playing with settings did not work as well as factory reset, so I ordered microphone spare part from China (ca 2$) and replaced it. Then the problem disappeared. I agree with polar_bay above it seems like mic glitch - I think my spare mic was slightly different from the original (maybe less sensitive) and that's it. Maybe also complete voltage drop (battery disconnection) helped to unstuck it.
My recommendations are:
1. play with mic settings (sw)
2. open the phone and disconnect the battery for a while (1 minute)
3. place small&thin absorber between mic and hole in phone case
4. replace microphone
hi, I have just bought another used xperia z5 compact as my other device has gotten old. after I received the new one I almost directly rooted it installed twrp and flashed lineageos 17. after a while I recognized that the microphone is not working during calls, only if the speaker is enabled. also when i want to record audio or use the tuner it doesn't work.
is there any chance to find out if it is a hardware problem or if it can be solved by some setting or so, be it coding?
thanks for any hints!
Hey all, I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues with calls after upgrading to Android 13.
I am having 2 problems with calls
1) When I pick up calls on Bluetooth or loudspeaker, often people can't hear me until I switch to holding the phone to my ear, I can then switch back to Bluetooth or loudspeaker, and it works.
2) when I put a call on mute it automatically unmutes after about 20 seconds even though it still shows the mute button as turned on.
These issues happen on multiple different diallers, so they are clearly a phone problem and not to do with a specific dialler app.
Same here. Let's wait for an update. Temporaly I using a wired headset.
