uhh okay!!
installing stock ROM should work... strange... you are installing the correct version right?
it can't be a hardware problem as mic is working..
try to remove any malicious app maybe a call recorder??? cause that might be muting your mic??
i am soo curious.. please let me know if you find out the fix

What happens when you use your hands free in a call?
For an experiment, you can flash a custom kernel and in the kernel configuration app you can boost the microphone output.

I will give a custom kernel a try when I get to the office. And I haven't installed any app

Did your problem get solved???
I'm having the same problem in Slim Saber 4.4.4 (build 21/12). When i call using phone mic other person can't hear me. When i speak through head phone mic they can hear. Also they can hear me speaking when my phone is in loud speaker.
I checked it in a phone repair shop and he said it is not a hardware problem
Still waiting for a solution.

people saying i sound muffled

had a few people asking me to repeat myself when talking on the phone, also saying i sound muffled over the last few weeks? anyone had this?
will test when the wife gets back tomorrow by swapping handsets!
just thought i would ask if anyone has experienced this
Are you using any custom rom? It can be a problem in the rom

lighting rom, but i believe this issue was said to have started before, however i could be wrong!
just grabbed my next door neighbour and did 2 way test, i walked around the block on his 7 year phone and he sounded muffled on mine - went back to my phone and he was having trouble making me out but sound clear to me - bollocks!
guess i better flash stock back again.

This is exactly what happens to me!!!
I suddenly start sounding muffled...
when my wife goes out of town...
and I go on a drinking rampage.
But then she comes back, and everything is back to normal.
Sorry OP, for makign a joke here. Yeah like others said, try factory reset and then restore factory firmware.
Some ppl claim that this happens when u r using a case cover blocking the mic for noise reduction. Try using it without and see if this solves the problem!!
Hope this helps!!

With the phone itself. It seems to be a certain location your mouth is to the mic just causes muffled sound. And the noise cancellation seems to be part of the issue, doesn't work correctly. So turning it off sometimes helps.
well i called O2, and they are swapping me a brand new one tomorrow, as i have had one month!, ordered on 25th May and called yesterday being 25th June.
they are bring me one to my house - that is service!
i did try flashing stock rom, but no difference, tested my mates and his sounds fine, pretty sure there is an issue. oh well a new one will do!

[Q] Dialpad and speaker activates themselves while on call - Live Walkman WT19i

Hello all,
I have a Sony Live Walkman WT19i currently on Gingerbread.
Randomly, when I'm making a call, the speakerphone gets activated... or sometimes it's the dialpad and then I hear my face touching numbers!
Is the proximity sensor not working properly on my phone, or is this a common bug?
Don't know if this happened while my phone had the original firmware WT19a - now it WT19i , it was the only way to root it.
Any feedback to repair this, avoid it or something?
i never had such proximity sensor problem.
eventough i flashed it many times.
repair using pc companion or claim for warranty.

Tried repairing with PC Companion, but it stops in the middle saying it can't continue.
Googled the cause that PC companion could do that, and there are many many reason... tried a lot of "fixes" to be able for it to do "the repair" (wich I heard fixed this issue for some guy) and had success with none of them.
well, if your phone still ''virgin'', then claim it to service center for warranty repair.

whoops... what have you done to it so far?? maybe you can try a different kernel or flashing a ftf of another version of firmware to see what happens.
Edit: just remembered something useful, go to the phone app and enter *#*#7378423#*#* this will take you to the service menu, select service tests and then proximity switch so it will tell you if it's working or not.

Tested it. It works, but it is *very* sensitive. If I move a little the phone within my ear, it will sense off. So I'll have to try to have it very still everytime I make call (I DO switch my phone a lot with my hand when talking).
Thanks a lot for your help. I see you're from Mexico? We could be having this conversation so much easier, ha!

Hello,
How did you adjust it? I can't find any option of configuration for that setting. Could you share how you could fix it?
Or maybe you meant it fixed with the custom ROM.. could be. I hope it's not a bug but shouldn't be fixed now that I upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich? I wouldn't want to use a custom ROM
By the way, wich ROM do you use?
THANKS FOR YOUR INFO!

Very interesting it seems it may actually be a hw related issue and maybe you will need to take it back. Still i am searching for another way to fix it if you don't want to.
how many cm needs proximity sensor to say that it works ok??
For me it about 1,5 cm and i often touch my screen when calling :/
Is there any SW solution? I'm using hybrom v16 custom rom now.

loud speaker stopped working

Has anyones loudspeaker stop working? I can hear phone calls ..but when i try to play ringtones or watch vids or even have the touch sounds on i hear nothing. I tried reflashing the rom i was using since the 11th and still nothing. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.
No one has had this problem?

It can, but will it, I don't know. We'll see.
Maybe some drivers messed up in phone and maybe mic is dying. If it doesn't work after you repair software, then you know where to go.

It has been a week since you said that you will check it.
You checked it only now or it worked 1 week ago and now it doesn't work?
by earphone, do you mean on headphones? you mean front speaker doesn't work?
what's the status with microphone?

how to check the status ??
Use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.androidapp.functiontester or Service Menu (dial *#*#7378423#*#*). Both have speaker and microphone tests, just run them.

What are you doing to your phone?
First mic, now speakerphone and earphones/headphones..
Btw. you didn't understand my question above. You never reported if mic problem was solved after repairing software with PCC/SEUS.
anw, if everything works in service menu, reflash your phone and watch when things stop working again to know what you did.

sorry, i meant mic not speaker. .
i already flash 4.0.4 and 2.3.4 firmware. nothing changes. .
nothing of the apps stop working, .
sorry for my english. .
ok, this won't work.. you can't concentrate enough to tell what's working what's not working, what you tried and what are results.
so just take your phone to service center.
i already take my phone to the sony service center, they had changed some part of my phone.
now i don`t have the mic problem anymore.

Cutting out during calls

I have a problem and I can't figure out what is wrong. I am running hyperdrive on kt kernel but it happens on other rooms and kernels too. The microphone on my phone keeps cutting out during call. The person I am call than can no longer here me. I am able to get the microphone to work again if I put it into speaker phone Mode and than back to headset mode. Does anybody know what is wrong? Will they send me a updated phone if I send it in for warranty?

Didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Might recommend a factory reset to her and if that doesn't resolve it, maybe a hardware swap.
I was going to say that aosp is the problem then someone is having same issues with stock, hmm weird on the stock one, as I know the others have the call bug.
Have you guys tried a different kernel or modem?

Yah I have had the same problem on both hyperdrive and slim bean. I have also tried both stock and kt kernel. I did upgrade the modem. I cant remember if I had the same problemon the release modem. Could it be a modem problem? Didn't think of that because it seemed like a microphone issue
I've been having issues on stock also. Its usually when I'm on the phone and sometimes it'll cut out on me and I can't really hear what the person on the other end is saying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I want to bump this. I am still having this problem. I have even Odin the factory image. Seems like a software problem to me though.
Cuts out
If you turn off the proximity ssensor, the dialpad stays on. When your cheek touches it, the phone will mute, end call, etc.
