so is it happening to your device too after you put it in water? any way to dry out the microphone instead of waiting for hrs?
This problem was encountered on the z1 but should have been addressed with the z2.... Sony!!!
Hi, the problem is not because the wather... I was with the same and it solved by "Settings > Call Settings" and UNCHECK the option "MICROPHONE NOISE SUPPRESSION".
Have fun! :laugh:
[EDIT]
sorry, I make a test putting my Z2 in the water and comprove that's this problem is really exactly like osbertc0ol says... The mic stay covered with water and makes the call sucks!
the most viable solution I see would blow the microphone after watering it.

Does the blowing to the microphone work?
Sorry to reply like that, but RTFM!
"If the speaker or microphone get wet, their function may be impacted until the water
has completely dried. Please note that the drying time can be up to three hours
depending on the environment."
It happens to all waterproof phone / gadgets, microphone and speakers are protected with a waterproof membrane, that gets blocked when it's wet.

Yes, it helps to dry faster microphone.
Like Luinwethion says... this happens with all Waterproof phone.
So the way is to avoid getting unnecessarily watering!

the Mic in the Z2 has a problem full stop . mine has never been wet.
Yeah that's normal. Either blow, or tap the bottom of the phone on a dry towel several times or just suck on mic pores with your mouth and this solves it.

Looks pretty good for a splash-guard.
I think most phones will survive this sort of splash test. I am more interest in a free fall test.

My son splashed his iPod with much less water, it still works, but the comms board is gone - no WiFi, bluetooth or FTP access. Really sucks!

Do you think the 3.5mm jack is coated as well? Sim, micro-sd, USB, and HDMI all have covers but the headphone jack is quite exposed
i thought there was some sort of video showing them dunking it in water?
all i know is if the thing's water"proof", then it's definitely worth it.
i've dropped & even full on thrown phones out my car window while driving and still had them working fine... but then the slightest drop of water and BRICK!... wee

It is NOT water proof - just splash proof. Put it into a glas of water and it goes dead, I bet.

Dear Users,
I have a problem with my SGSIII white which I received this morning.
When I tap a bit stronger on the upper half of the screen the frame makes a quiet but audible cracking sound creaking/squeak sound. When I squeeze the top part of the frame tightly with both fingers and tap again the noise is gone. It seems that the frame is a bit loose.
This is very annoying when working with the phone. Please can you tap a bit harder on the top part of the screen and listen closely if you hear a difference between tapping on the lower part of the screen.
I am bummed out that such a premium phone fails on such basic criteria.
Would be delighted to hear your thoughts.
Would you return the unit
Return it straight away. You have a duff handset. When you do get a new one you will love it.

You sure you bought the S3 and not the One X by mistake?
Like the others have said you have definitely got a faulty handset. If you pop the back battery cover, just double check all the screws are tight.

Hi guys I recently bought an Xperia S and only yesterday I accidentally dropped abit of Mayoneese on my phone while I was eating. I think the Mayoneese managed to get in my phones ear speaker. Now it sounds like it is blocked, it has sound but very soft, almost like on low volume. And when I'm taking calls the ear speaker heats up fast. Is there anyway to fix this? Everything else is working just as fine. Thanks in advance.

Well, you have two options... either you put your Xperia S between two breads since mayonnaise is already there and add tomato or cucumber... or try to use vacuum to suck out the mayonnaise...

I had similar problem with my old (t)rusty Hero. Over time the metal mesh filled with everything and hardened pretty well. I had to disassemble it and soak in alcohol for a while.
Do the next only and ONLY if you have a steady hand and good eye! Don't rush!
What you should do:
1. Go to the nearest pharmacy and buy a small syringe with blunt needle 1-1.5mm or larger. Don't use the sharp one, it will damage your phone. If you have to use the sharp one, take some honing stone (from kitchen) and grind it down to nice flat end and finish it that it has no sharp edges. If you cant do that find some knife sharpener and ask him to do it for you. Buy him a beer.
2. When you succeeded with needle, go to nearest shop with paints etc. and ask for burner fuel used for camping burners and for cleaning. It's the cleanest alcohol you can get (Do not drink this stuff). Don't use one from pharmacy because its more expensive and always has some additives inside. You can see if its pure by dropping some on clean glass. After evaporation it should leave nothing on the surface. The pharmacy grade will leave whitish residue behind - it's some kind of hydratation creme.. Do not use acetone!!! It will ruin your phone for sure!
3. Fill the syringe 1/3rd or less and gently put some alcohol on the speaker's mesh. Be careful, its very fragile. Don't put to much of it, you can ruin your speaker or even the display that way.
You should not use more than half drop per application. Wet the mesh and wait a little bit. Then wet it again and suck back. Use wooden stick (not sharp) to work on the mesh, don't rub, be very, very gently.
4. Flush the syringe and fill it again with fresh alcohol. Repeat step #3 until you are satisfied with results.
5. Get rid of mayonaise, ketchup etc., at least when your phone is nearby.
Do this only, and only if you are 100% sure you can do it correctly and have the proper stuff. Don't improvise or rush. Take the time to make it properly, or take it to repair in some gsm service/Sony service - that would bee cheaper than a new phone

Mine is very clear and loud. But you have to hold it properly.
Maybe we can compare when I'm in Fiume next time?
Okay apparently I Googled and found a way. Just suck and blow the Earpiece for a few days. Now the sound is louder. Slowly it will fix this problem.

I'm previously using s8 so I accidentally poked the microphone hole. Thought it was a simcard slot.
Will this affect the IP rating? How do I test if I damaged something?
Thanks!

can't tell.. maybe you just poked the material not the entire mic, because the mic itself inside must be sealed. that material on the top of the mic is to keep dust and dirt away.. again it depends on how deep you pushed.
To check if the mic is damaged you can use the recorder app in normal mode, and make a recording of you first talking with the top of the phone directed to your mouth and that the bottom.
Listen back to the recording with headphones.
What was the result? Is it OK?
DUDE..I did the same thing on the same phone for the semi same reason (Samsung). So..what happened?...is it fine?
hahahaha welcome to the club, 'been there done that' and the worst part is that I've done it more than once. Apparently it wasn't deep enough as to cause serious damage ! Lately the Huawei and the Note 9 are sharing the same sim card so things like that happen.

I do feel a bit better reading this....I did poke it a couple of times and pretty hard too...but I think its fine..I did the recording test and there is more noise on the bottom mic than the top..and they both work when the other is blocked...lmao...sure gave me a fright
did the phone will still waterproof after poked the hole
lel, just did the same. how dumb design is it to have the hole the same size and shape ffs.

why dumb design? you can clearly see that the mic is on the top as there is NO tray, which is obviously on the left ... damn xD

It's on the top of Samsung S7, Note 9... so... yea, unless it's an industry standard, it's NOT okay to do this IMO.

who knows? this is not a vivo forum, but Huawei. also you can try to find a teardown video or so for your phone, so you could see the internals.
Ejector tool cannot damage mic...
Cool video... this answers the age old question, "I mistakenly poked the mic hole with the ejector tool, did I damage the mic?"... The answer is no... I'm sure all phone manufacturers thought of this... on pretty much every phone, the actual mic is off to the side internally...
YouTube: at about 3:52 into the video.

The small top hole is one of the microphones. There's an identical one on the bottom of the phone. So, you can make stereo recordings.
https://goo.gl/images/VqxsYw
The earpiece actually turns into a 3rd microphone for high decibel environments, like live concerts.
But that top one is one of the two "regular" microphones.
Thanks, I thought so. Is it only for recording, or for noise reduction too? Recording I don't care about. Also, should I plug it with glue?
Mastiff said:
On autopilot I was going to put in a SIM card in my brand new phone and pressed where the hole was on my previous phone. Bad mistake, I guess... I probably put it right through something vital. Because I used the small hole at the top of the phone. Not the side. The light wasn't all that good, so I didn't notice that there was no SIM holder there. My guess is that it is a mike of some sorts, but I tried to record sound and had no problems with that. And it seems like there's a mike at the bottom of the thing too. So what did I mess up this time?
Edit: And does this mean that the phone isn't water resistant anymore? Can I stuff a bit of black silicone glue (the type used in bathroooms) in there with the pointy tool to make it water resistant again?
Edit 2: Oh, please drop the idiot jokes. I know it! Googling I have seen that I am far from the only one that has done that, I just would like to know exactly what it is on this phone, and if I should plug the hole to keep i waterproof. That's rather important for me, because I am an avid hobby crawfish and crab fisher and will probably get water splashing over this.

Aren't there barometer measuring apps for that ?
I read that by checking on pressure you can find out if your phone is still water resistant

How about fixing it?

If you don't want to tackle it, cell phone repair shop can.
That top mic is probably used for noise reduction during phone calls (since it's the top mic and you would speak into the bottom one), but used for recording stereo when actually recording? I'm sort of guessing on this.
If someone who is audio has better answer, jump in.
zacharias.maladroit, I have also read that. But I have read that it doesn't work as well, since the holes "breathe", they are mes of goretex or similar material. But I'll try anyway, thanks.
ChazzMatt, Interesting, thanks! Looking at that video at around 4:55 it may seem like the pin must have penetrated to the side of the microphone! I think I see the pinhole to the right of where the actual microphone is. As for fixing it, I am far to clumsy. But using a shop is of course an option, the only thing is that the phone is brand new and I'm guessing I'll loose the warranty for that. But I think I will first of all find out if the microphone isn't damaged, and then I will see what happens when I cover the hole. If it doesn't change the call qualty I will probably choose (at least for now) to glue shut that pinhole. If it is a problem for call quality I can maybe live with that using a silicone case and a piece of electrical tape over the pinhole when I go out to fish.

Yeah, 4:55 - 5:30 on that video shows taking out the old mic and putting in the new, for anyone else who needs to do it.
