[q] noise cancellation issues in earphones - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

i have been using XZU for over a month now but one thing bugs me a lot, whenever i call and talk via using out of box earphones, i can distincly hear the background sound myself and somehow instead of cancelling that background sound, its amplies it and send it to the other end, ive heard many of my callers tell me that they cant hear my voice as the background sound is a lot when im not in such a noisy atmosphere.
anybody else has faced this issue? any idea whats wrong and how i can solve it?

I am experiencing exactly the same issue. The headset picks up all the background noise when I am having a call, and it is annoying because I can't hear clearly what my caller is saying.... I'm sure it is a bug... Am on software update 532 and this is really bugging me

In settings/call settings there are some tick boxes you can try:
Hearing aids
microphone noise suppression
speaker voice enhancement
If they don't work then it must be a hardware issue. (ear piece with mic)
Personally I've never used the headphone set. I use the SBH-52 bluetooth unit

I confirm the same problem does not exist in Bluetooth headset but it only happens when you use a wired headset like the Sony MH750 supplied in the box. I have tried using other wired headsets and the same problem exist - your earphone just plays also the sounds that are received in the microphone so you are not only hearing the caller but you are also hearing your own voice as well as the noises of the surrounding environment.... really really annoying.

Sound output issue in Skype

Hello,
I just got a BB White HTC Flyer and I love it. Everything so far seems to work fine but I have a small issue with Skype.
It works but when I am dialing, the ring tone is present only through the headphone output. Not a big deal since once the call is answered the phone switches to external speakers. The headphones are obviously not connected and BT is off.
Also, does anyone know how to get the incoming call ring a little louder. I can hear the vibrator motor more than the ring

[Q] Static'y' sound when headphones plugged in and audio not playing

I've heard a little bit of static'y noise when the touching the screen or going between apps occasionally (very pronounced with dealing with charging and aux in car). I still am experiencing it even when not charing, very subtle, but noticeable. Seems like it fixes itself when an audio app is selected, but otherwise can occasionally hear the static sound when interacting with the touch or capacitive buttons.
Anyone else hear some of this occasional static?

Turn off audible touch tones in settings.
I had this same problem, and am pretty sure it's just the audio file that Android uses when it plays the audible touch tones. The sound file that is used has to play the audible touch tones when touching the screen has an extra second or two of no sound that is only noticeable when using an external speaker source through the headphone jack. This is the "static" you are hearing.

But this doesn't address the root cause. Any sound causes this hissing or static noise. It is more like audio is activated when a tone is played, and gets deactivated a second or two later after the tone finishes, and the hiss is heard in the interim. This can be heard any time audio is activated, when connected by headphone or external speaker, and most noticeable when the source audio is low or silent.
This was a problem with the Skyrocket too. Hopefully, it's a software problem that can be addressed.
Yup....skyrocket suffers from this too

Yep... same here... particularly bad when waiting for a video to start while it's hooked up to any speaker/car system that used the 3.5mm jack.

Any way to direct ALL sound to BT headset?

For some odd reason the GS3 seems to still play sounds (rings, notifications, etc) on the device as well as the BT headset when connected; causing an unecessary echo. On all my previous devices, all sounds were directed to the headset. Any way to change this? Couldn't find it under Settings.
Bump!
Bump!

I'm experiencing the same problem but I'd like to broaden the scope.
My Bose MIE2I's are plugged into the 3.5mm slot not BT and do not receive the notifications, nor do they work for speaking through the phone and listening to the other party on the call.
I'm used to them not controlling my multimedia and voice control as per my GSII but their functionality being constricted on a higher model phone perplexes me.

Have you try application name BT mono? search in Google play. try that application. it pretty much make your BT headset as output sound. So music notification can play through BT headset
For Bluetooth- turn on the device and find it in the Bluetooth settings. Then click on the wheel beside it and check both vocal and media audio.
same issue here.. driving my nuts..
want all rings notifications etc in the earpiece only.
I want to mute my phone and have all sound routed 100% to the earpiece.

I know this is an old topic, but I was searching for a solution for the exact same issue and thought I'd add my .02 cents here as well.
Anyone come up with a solution to this yet?

Android noise cancelling too good?

Hi guys, I'm developing an app at the moment, the idea is to be able to play a sound snippet during a call that the other party will be able to hear.
its all in place, except seem to have hit a bit of a road block, during the call, i press the button, the sound plays through the loudspeaker (very loud) yet the other caller hears nothing. I have disabled noise suppression in the call settings, that allowed me to hear a teeny faint. This is not music or anything so it doesn't need to be clear but is there anyway to get this working? I have tried speaker phone it didnt really make much difference either. Why is my budget phone with no noise cancellation features so good at blocking out any sounds it makes itself from the mic??

Bluetooth headset for calling?

Hi.
I'm looking for a Sony Bluetooth headset for calling. I usually go to noisy places so the most important thing is noise cancellation (or noise reduction) of the microphone.
I looked for that and I see there're three options:
-SBH52
-SBH70
-SBH80
I haven't used any of that so I don't know about their noise reduction(cancellation) performance.
Can anyone give me some advice or reviews about them?
Thanks.
