My Xperia S has been sent back for repair, initially sound quality was perfect (my previous Desire was a bit tinny), but I took a call and had to go into a quiet room to hear the caller.
When making a call the only way I knew it was connected was because of the background buzz, rather than the ringing.
Now on an old Nokia :-(
yeah...same problem here...actually even in a quite room I really have to concentrate in order to understand everything and any back sound is completely eliminated. Example:
A friend: "Hey dude, listen to this song............"
Me: "Sorry...I can only heard your voice...and barely!"
I'll take my device to the Service Support in a few days because of the "yellowish issue" and the "7 hours stand-by battery issue" and I'll take the chance for also ask if this is the "sh*ty earpiece sound issue"

hallo everybody,
I am new here, I really want to know, if x7510 has a embedded earpiece. who can confirm this?
I like this big ... very much, I want have it, but worried about the normal phone funtion, without an embedded earpiece, I will miss a lot of calls, I do want to grab blut tooth or something to answer the phone and need private normal phone talk.
thank you, please tell me,
forget to say, I have used google several days and seen a lot of discussions about it, no body can know this clearly. so please.....
no ear slot only speaker phone or bluetooth or wired headset

Hi there everyone ! I like to say that u still can make normal phone calls discreetly a bit wiht the x7510 , just tap the speaker icon & adjust both pda & phone volume to second lowest bar , when your call comes in or when u call out , tap the icon again , this time it will show only phone - speaker icon , also adjust to second lowest bar , put your ear to the top speaker while u are holding it vertically , put your mouth about 3 inches away to the bottom mic and talk . U can hear clearly since the top speaker is near your ear , but because u have lower down all 3 volumes , people around u like 3 feet away will only can hear u speak but the person that is speaking to u from the phone will sound like murmuring or mumbling voices . Since it is a speaker phone u cant 100% make a private normal phone call , u got to improvise with the x7510 , that's the way it is gonna be !
Thanks for reading , cheers - jimmunsw
Get a bt headset like the Jabra BT8010 and you are fine. Two advantages (pun intended) of the 8010: it has vibrate and caller id.
Quick question for anyone who may be able to answer this.
Has anyone noticed a low volume when the speaker phone is ON while making a call?
The phone speakers are awesome when you play music. Also normal call volume is very good. However, when I turn the speaker phone ON during a call, the sound from the speakers doesnt seem to be that great. Infact it is quite faint.
Any one else has the problem?? Also does anyone know any solutions??
Used the speaker phone yesterday for the first time and must admit even set to the highest it was piss poor low, very disappointed as like you said the speaker when playing music or video is fantastic.

this is my problem too, even my X10 mini beats the XPS! I need a louder speaker phone...
I also have this problem with a very very low sound when speakerphone is ON during the phone conversation. I have the latest software 2.3.7.I have had 4 Android phones before Xperia S and did not had such a basic problem.After all the quality conversation is mobiles priority number one before all the media, design, display and etc in my opinion. It is so low that I don't hear 50% of the conversation on a speakerphone when am I alone in a room. Please don't give any solutions like turn up the volume during conversation and all other settings since I have done it already. This is simple a manufacturers software mistake. Sony please take this seriously and don't embarrass on such a basic thing in phone like speakerphone volume. Everything else on this phone is great, only problem is a loose cover for the micro usb that you use everyday to charge the phone.
Strangely, when I switched to speaker mid call yesterday the other person commented that I got A LOT clearer for them Didnt sound quiet for me either, though I was in a quiet environment so it wasnt competing with anything.

Hi,
I was using my old Galaxy s3 to call & txt fiance using viber in states, now that I have sold it to mazuma mobile I have used viber to call her for the first time on my z2 & I could barely hear her at all on the top speaker & had to put phone on speaker phone just to hear her , normal call quality is pretty good on mobile calls, volume was up full. She could barely hear me as well, I turned off noise cancellation in call settings & she could hear me a bit better but said it was still quiet.
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
Cheers.
Have you tried moving the phone around on your ear? Sounds silly, but because of the placement of the speakers, its not as natural as other phones i've used imo (or maybe its how tall the phone is). I found the same issue at first, then i moved the phone around on my ear until the speaker and my ear lined up right and the sound was normal.
Yeah mate, moving the phone around my ear was first thing I tried, I don't have issues with normal calls but speaking to her on viber it's almost like the speaker volume is set really low & I could barely hear her at all, since I call her in the early hours I would rather not have to put the call on speaker phone.

Ah okay. I did a quick google search and it looks like its hit or miss for some devices, so it might be on their end. This thread has a Viber rep responding in it to the same problem, or at least a couple months ago he was(no real solution, other than reporting it).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307492
Also there's an app suggestion in there that a member says helped, and another one would be master volume (i think thats the name). I don't really use Viber, so i'm not much help other than that.
Cheers again for the reply mate, have checked that thread out & also posted in it hoping they will still be checking it, checked the apps mentioned in play store & most haven't been updated since 2011, I do think the issue is like you say more on Viber's end as the volume was fine on my now sold Galaxy S3.
Might have to check out Line or similar apps & get her to do the same as Viber is almost unusable due to this, connection quality was excellent all through the call so I think Viber just need to update or optimise it for the Z2.
Same problem man, here is a fix that worked for me, note 3 international version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54518814&postcount=31
well i know there are post on the quality of the calls on this phone ( mainly the other party struggling to hear what you say) . i have finally blown my top ! since i first got this phone back in May, this has been an on and off problem. today i made 4 calls this morning 3 of which saying they were struggling or couldn't hear me ! i was so fed up i rang Sony and did a "repair" with PC companion .. made no difference what so ever ! then it was fantastic, i was on the phone to phones 4U, who i bought the phone from, and the lady said "sorry i cant hear you sir" so the phone is going back. to be repaired . im not holding out a lot of hope that this will fix the problem due to the amount of threads where a fair few people are having this problem. seems to be a sub quality microphone on this device
I just had probably my first conversation of any length and not on BT with my gf. She said she couldnt hear me the whole time. I turned off that setting in sound or call menu and that didnt help much. Im disappointed.
Try turning off microphone noise suppression in Call Settings. It helps in a few situations.
I have had the exact opposite problem. I couldn't hear the other party (not on speakerphone) but they could hear me crisp and clear.
I tried that during my call with the gf, she did say it got better but only marginally. Out of my last few Android phones she said this one sounded horrible, specially compared to the M8 I was about to sell. This is probably a deal breaker for me. How do you make a high end phone that has terrible call quality?
I've got the exact same problem with my Z2. The other party cannot hear me when I hold the phone to my ear -- if I turn the call on speaker, everything works fine!
Also, the other party hears a very strong echo of their own voice, but only when the call is not on speaker.
It is absolutely beyond me, how something this simple has gone through the quality checks at Sony. Seriously, a 600€ phone that you can't use to make normal phone calls. Are you serious?
And yes, I also tried turning off noise cancellation in the call settings, did not help really much...
The fact that it DOES work when using the speaker tells me that it is "just" some software bug that should be fixable (and not a defect microphone).
No issues here with call quality, only issues i have is the charger door keeps mysteriously opening in my pocket and that damn screen reacting to metal, same issue, pull it out my pocket and its opened something or removed a shortcut grrrrr

yeah my girlfriend tells me she gets feedback too ! so it DOES seem that this is a regular problem with this phone and its just not my handset ! well the phone is going back .. if its a software issue, then unless Sony update the software it the problem will still be there even if they replace the microphone. i just think that its terrible that expensive so called "flagship" devices can have such basic problems. after all .. its a telephone and your supposed to be able to communicate on a phone !
As I wrote on the other topic I tested with Viber and Skype calls and there is no echo so my opinion is this is a software problem. Unfortunately I have no guarantee and I have to wait for some dev's to solve this problem.

well if it helps , i did post a thread in the developers section asking if any one of them could come up with a "fix" for the microphone issues.. guess it depends on how many of them suffer with this problem .. or have the time to devote to a fix . not knowing if its a software or hardware issue don't help ! all i know is i use this phone to speak to my clients , and when day after day im being told they cant hear me properly or they get feedback and a few have just given up and hung up. i cant carry on using this phone as it is !
hi all, my ZU is new, have it a week ago and im love with it but today i notice a strange noise on the speaker on top, the one used to listen in call people!! is a type of static noise, nothing i can listen when i have in my hands but when i put it in my ear i listen!! and that noise only appear when device is locked with screen off, and with no in call. i want to know if anyone notice that in our device?! i cant say if its normal or my devide have a problem!! help plz, sorry for my bad english!
Isnt the volume too high?
Perhaps there is something in "settings>call settings" that may be causing issue. I Read somewhere of someone who turned off both 'Microphone Noise Suppression' and 'Speaker Voice Enhancement' which cleared up sound issues with the ear speaker.
Could be worth a shot

I know what you are talking about .... It does not come only from earspeaker ... but from the whole top side. It can be heard only when you put the phone close to your ear. But it is annoying during the call.
I think it is badly shielded antenna. The sound it makes sounds the same like interference fom 3G/WiFi/Bluetooth in this video (but less noisy) ... watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKP5KmPRvHQ
I have the same problem as other guys on that czechoslovakian forum http://forum.xperia.cz/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=14223 ... they bought their phone in the same store like me
