Is the "strength" of your connection ok? If you've one bar the device will power the antenna. (I've read somewhere, can't find the source. Corect me if i'm wrong)
I've good coverage and do make long calls but don't have your problem.

I once turned this on accidently, had a phonecall with my mom, and was really worried about her. Kept asking if she was ok, if she used heavy medication, or if she drinked to much. Later on i found out that this setting was enabled. I did call her back and informed her:laugh:

Too bad, i'm afraid you should call the service center.
I assume, the problem is with several people and in the same country.
Same Problem with my device

Goto call settings and disable speaker voice enhancement. Its a bug in lollipop update for z ultra which will be fixed in the nxt upcoming lollipop update v.283

I have a pretty annoying problem because from the earbud (under the wrtitten SONY) comes interfecences while i'm speaking with someone using the mobile line.
The interference is like that of the speaker near a mobile phone but from the earbud.
someone has the same problem or mine is a isolated case?

I think you mean earpiece...not earbud.
If you hold the phone near your ear you can hear a very high pitched hiss sound while you are talking? The sound has a pattern to it. If so, then I have tried 2 of these phones and they both do it. I don't now if they all do it, but it seems to be common. Some people who don't have such good high-pitched hearing will not hear it at all. You will never hear it if you are outdoors...only if you are at home in a quiet room.

I hear it too. It's the usual GSM "cellphone interference" sound.
Hi i have the same i hear that xd
But what i have noticed this is only in GSM mode ...at WDCMA its ok..i cant hear this .
I have the same problem. Got my first phone replaced and the new one came today with the same problem.
Try only with WDCMA (3G) and See if that help.

Now I did some tests,
I tried only GSM mode and there's no problem, only WCDMA -> the same thing
Good also WCDMA/GSM..
sometimes the problem seems to disappear
Yeah I too have the same issue.
Its not everytime but sometimes,
Its like a electronics interference noise.
Don't know what's this all about ://

I think it's for the bad isolation of earpiece, but someone think the problem come out when the XS switchs GMS/WSDMA

i can hear that hissing too, i ve searched about it, and it looks like latest smartphones have that kind of problem, the only solution i could find is not to place your ear directly on the earpiece, fortunately this phone has a great in-call volume...
earpiece hissing, crackling, buzzing - problem solved
well amigos, the problem finally has been solved for me, reading this forum https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3414732?start=0&tstart=0
so i turned off my phone, i removed the sim card, i cleaned it using a soft cloth, and then i inserted it back, making sure the sim card was placed correctly in the tray, i tested it several times and guess what, there was no more hissing anymore, so the problem is the micro sim-card, those sim-cards must be placed correctly otherwise it will make that hisssing sound
i hope this works for you too
greetings from colombia...
Had my first two calls today, same problem. Interestingly, it gets louder/more noticeable when I'm actively speaking, not when the other party says something.
Sim-Card is fresh from the envelope, so there shouldn't be scratches, dust or fingerprints on it, but I'll try cleaning it up tomorrow. Got the phone set on GSM only, since I've got bad 3G/UMTS signal at home and I'm pretty sure constant "channel-hopping" would drain the battery.
Hi,
got xperia S yesterday. Great phone... only problem is GSM interference in the earpiece. It is there every time when phone is set to 2G. 3G is free of this issue. As I can hear at every call it's a bit irritating.
I don't know what should I do: sent it back to the store (bought from amazon), try to repair in the service centre or learn to live with it?
Can any of xperia S owners make a siple test: put the phone in "only GSM" mode and make one or two calls. Put earpiece close to the ear and listen to it. I wonder if it's design flaw and every xperis S have this issue, or only some of them....
Anyone who got his phone replaced and the new one came WITHOUT the same problem ???

Thank for reply. Anyone who had this problem and managed to get rid of if by repairing / replacing phone ?
Hey, guys i'd like the know the general call quality you experience with your device... also if the problem im having is limited to me or others have experienced the same problem.
during a all either on loud speaker, normal speaker or on headsets I always get a buzzing sound in the background, I also use the xperia Arc and I never had such a problem so I don't think that it is the network...
has anyone experienced this and is there any 'fix' for it?
Nope, everything seems a-okay here.
Got a buzzing sound the other day, but it was due to the headset.
yes I have this buzz on the call,
but if I up the volume at 100,
the sound is more clear !
bizarre ×_×
Yep, it is totally normal with these phones, but it is not all the time, just sometimes, but we are not the only ones, the iphone 4s has the same issue
there is not a perfect phone, every model, every brand has its issue, just be happy with what you have....
I am happy just was wondering if its a normal thing or not ..
yup, I got the occasional buzzing on a call too. Adjusting the volume has got rid of it a few times.
hm for me i have buzz when im on GSM mode,at WDCMA its clear .
I have a similar problem.
sometimes I hear in the earpiece or the loudspeaker and a noise like scratching.
When this happens, the other end hear only scratching and not hear my voice.
the first time he made me a month ago, I did restart and built.
Since yesterday I do it often, and then I do have to restart to speak.
I entered the test menu and I did test the microphones and headphones and everything works normally on tests.
After the tests tried a number of phone calls and stop the problem.
GSM - WDCMA, 3G on-off, wi-fi on-off
will notice the next few days to see the evolution of
buzzing noise during call
I have the same problem and only when im home!
I tried everything but it doesnt help

Guys. I just got my z ultra within a months period and I've noticed say if you play a stock notification or even YouTube video. It plays the sound then buzzes for like 5 seconds after please test it out? If this happens to you. Put your ear right next to the speakers please help

Software issue that may be resolved soon.

Haven't noticed it, but I'll check it out tomorrow. Time for some sleep.

if you sent it in for this buzzing then it will get sent back. Possibly a new device, but will still have the issue.
it happens when the speaker is producting static and no output. until the speaker turns off.

Guess it's similar to the image/video enhancer which makes some stuff unbearably grainy
I do hear some buzzing if I play a song and there are some quiet parts in the song, but it doesn't buzz after the song is finished. Same with YouTube. I can only hear it if I hold the speaker up to my ear, and since I just noticed it now and I had to "look" for it, it doesn't bother me since it's not noticeable under normal usage.

Same here, i only hear it when it's ultra quiet in the room. Not annoying to me, gives me an analog feeling

I have received a new phone from warranty and it does not have the buzzing that I was experiencing with the previous phone.
I'd link an audio sample to my issue, however xda won't let me.

Same for me. It's one of the only things that I'm REALLY disappointed about with my Z2.
Same with me as well and Z2 being my first Sony device I feel as if they rolled out a beta version of handset to the public

No problems with call volume here. Both ends of the call loud and clear.

Have the same issue here. Came from a Z1c and the call quality is so much better on Z1c. I send sony a mail with my complaints and suggest you all do the same. Maybe they will do something about it if more people complains.

Ya, call volume is not that good, speaker phone too, it maybe hardware related.
I've been using this phone for about a week now, and a recurring theme seems to be that everyone is telling me to speak up and that they can't hear me. It's getting frustrating. I never had this problem with a phone before. Has anyone else found that they have to speak up on their Z2?
Is there a soundmod somewhere for this?
Try this. Disable noise cancellation in Settings -> Call Settings -> Microphone Noise Suppression OFF.

oh god dont start me off on this AGAIN ! i have had the same problem ever since i had this phone back in May ! i had a galaxy S2 before this and Never had any of these problems , i could just wedge the phone under my chin hold it where i wanted almost and everybody could hear me . Not with this Z2 . the microphone is crap ! you have to keep the phone so tight up against your face with the mic as close to your mouth as possible. i would also suggest downloading a lock screen app for the phone .. cos otherwise with the phone that close to your face you send keytones down the phone or you put the other person on hold . sorry but i wish someone would build a mod to sort this out ... it drives me crazy there are old threads about call quality on this site

Glad it worked. Sometimes it can also be the case that you're using that's interfering with the noise cancellation (happened to me when I was using a S3).
