Mic not working during call, only with loudspeaker - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

I know that in m4 aqua there are two microphone. I think one of them doesn't work. It worked sometimes, but now never. To be listened during a call I must put it in loudspeaker mode, wich is very annoying. Is there a fix or a way to use the secondary mic for calls?

I have the same problem. In service menu I try to test secondary MIC...I hear silence

This Phone has 2 microphones. I discovered that the down mic is faulty. Is there an app to block it and use only the superior mic?

Same problem here. I tryed to reset factory defaults but not helped.
Was your free internal space ever at zero, andrea8997 and Deathmake?
Also i cannot connect through usb anyway, only charge!
Is there a way to view errors or logs without root to get more information about this disagreeable case?

No, i See About 2 GB free Space

Mi internal space is ever 0, because I installed some app and this Phone has a little internal strorage. I tried many roms (official) also restored with Sony app companion, but it doesn't work. I will go to a Sony Shop.

m4 MIC not work - solutions lited

I had the same problem with my e2306 and the only solution was taking it to the sony service under my warranty, they couldn't solve it and gave me a new unit.

Can you test mic recording apps from google play? It might be issue with android 5.0 alot of people have had same issue on 5.0

All the same here...impossible to relaunch the mic, all is fine with a headset or bluetooth but not with the actual mic.... and no Sony Service here :crying:

Same problem here... I dont see another exit, must send to service

Same here. I need to lock bootloader because i must sent my phone to service. Can anyone knows how to do it? Plase help.
Sent from my E2303 using XDA-Developers mobile app

If You have drm Keys backup go to program and restore this.. In My Phone this operation lock bl
Send from Xperia M4 Aqua

Same problem here, I was on .67 when it first occurred, went back to 128, en now .111 but nothing really changes so i'm using an headset for now.
It is software related because on some firmware versions (.128 and .67 )do have a working microphone when you boot into safemode.
Tried to disable google now and/or tts but that does have any result. It does do something because in the test menu you get some muffling sound when you test the microphone with now enabled and completely silent with now disabled.
If you don't need gps you can try tonyshark's cm rom's (either 5.1 or 6.0) I'm waiting for either the cm rom to become into it's next stage so the gps works or for sony to come with their 6.0 update.

I have the same problem. Until some days ago the phone work well but trying to root and flashing recovery I've installed other firmwares different of the one it was on phone and now the mic don't work. I tried with some others versions of the firmware but with no results. Very annoying.

Z ultra GPE Google Now launcher stopped listening

I got Google now launcher on my z ultra GPE and always listening was working fine until 2 days ago. The only change I made to the phone was to pair a new Bluetooth headset (Sony sbh-52). Anyone know if that somehow affected the always listening module in some way and how do I reverse it? Thanks guys.

Cant stream music to bt speaker when using builtin fm radio

Hello guys, bought for my wife v30 few days ago and got wierd problem. My wife love to listen our local radio using built in fm radio (no need to use data network). But she cant stream that music to jbl bt speaker, because then radio goes to off and show info cant switch on radio when bt headset is connected by bluetooth. Headset has to be connected to listen fm radio because its anthena. I already used ordinary headphones and same, also change in jbl settings to recive only audio. Try the same with soundbar and still nothing. All is working perfect when she use network online radio, but when she connect bt headset and try to connect with jbl to stream music suddenly radio switch off and show info. Any knows issue or how to fix it?I choose v30 because of built in radio and very good photos and now cant play radio. Thank You.

Try enabling the quad dac globally, connect a headset to the headphone jack
and THEN enabling bluetooth connection/streaming
theoretically it should work but hardware-wise and software-wise there could be limitations (not possible) or the software doesn't have that option.
Was there a phone before that worked the way you expected and described ?
i think i used wrong word when try to describe my problem using my poor english. i ment when i plugin headphones to enable radio, because headphones also doing as anthena, then when i try connect by bluetooth with JBL, radio switch off. Its like i cant connect by bluetooth, to stream music from radio, with any other devices like speaker or soundbar when i have pluged in headphones. Phone thinks that i have connected headphones set, but i have connected just headphones.
P.S. i just bought phone 4 day ago

two things:
the phone only might be able to output (sound) to one device at a time - so when plugged in the headphones it might be impossible to "mirror" this to bt headphones at the same time
the BT chipset might be limited to only use one function at a time - so that bluetooth and FM is mutually exclusive
several devices (or most ?) have a combined BT/ANT/FM chip - so it might not be possible to use all features all at once (could be a hardware limitation)
or that Android cannot do so (several output devices at once).
http://gopinaths.gitlab.io/post/android-audio-framework-architecture/
Since Android Pie there's the option to use several bluetooth audio devices at once - so there, in fact, could be those kind of limitations but applied to headphones and BT audio at the same time:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...cted-simultaneously-via-new-developer-option/
This will probably require a workaround in the app itself. By default, Android picks which output device to use by some internal priority list, so bluetooth may have higher priority and switches from the headphone audio path.
Maybe the radio app relies on the current output device to determine if it can work, instead of actually checking that it has an FM signal.
It may have a receiver to "listen" for when the audio output path changes (Android would "broadcast" this change), which you could trick by telling the app that the headphones are the current output, but I don't know enough to write a script or app to do it, sorry.

I ran into this on a different phone awhile back. Not sure if it was my V20 or my Galaxy Note 4 but yeah the headphone jack takes priority over BT. There was an app that allowed you to force it but I don't remember what it was called. Think it was soundabout or something like that but this was quite awhile ago.
i will check tomarrow that apk soundabout and try some settings maybe it helps. Also if pie can use up to 5 devices then i hope v30 will get it some day, will try soundabout and give u a call

Hope it works. I honestly don't remember if it fixed my problem or not to be honest it was so long ago. I think if I remember right you need the paid version because they changed it. I guess just buy it and try it and if it doesn't work just do the refund
This isn't a matter of output device priority. Looks like FM radio is analog all the way. I don't think it runs through any ADC in any point in the audio path. So it can't work with Bluetooth. The Quad DAC also can't work with FM Radio.

This wasn't a question whether quad dac *can* run FM radio or not (of course it doesn't) but if the output could be routed through quad dac and the FM Radio stuff thread the aqstic onboard DAC and then to the bluetooth,
something like if the basic jack-like functionality existed on LG's Android implementation

FM can't be routed through any of the DACs. There's no trick you can do with any of LG's tools/apps/options that would achieve this.
Soundabout also crashes on the V30.

Try method 1 from here?
As far as the quad DAC is concerned: FM radio is a function of the SoC (why don't all SD-equipped phones have FM radio? Probably manufacturers not willing to pay QC for the privilege of enabling it), and FM bandwidth is low enough that the SoC's DAC can handle it no problem. I imagine they could rig something up to route the audio through the powered DAC for potentially more volume, but it's just not worth the trouble.

yeah, just tested - FM Radio app itself says "hifi dac isn't available due to FM" (or similar message)

that app isn't available on Playstore (at least not for me) anymore - it's available from https://www.apkmonk.com/app/com.maxistar.monobluetoothfree/ the file seems to be virus-free according to the virus scan:

and Spirit FM locked up the phone when trying
unfortunately it dosent work, i downloaded apk then pressed switch on so it says connected to device, before that i connected to jbl and when i pluged in earheadphones and opened radio it show me same problem. And thats true soundabour crash when tryied to open it.
This is unbelievable, and there is no solution for that.

I'll check later if nobody else does: does Android send out a "headset unplugged" broadcast when a bluetooth audio device is connected?
If not, that might mean the FM app is actually watching to see what the current audio path is, which could be kind of annoying to work around...
Someone needs to take a peek into the app and see what broadcast receivers it has.
Unfotunately im not as good as u are with that things, so i cant do anything else just asking for Your help. I cant take a peek into the app i dont know how. I can only do and try all advices from here and what ive read on network. Maybe the only way is wait for pie (if v30 get it) and then try change there how many devices can use bluetooth. Someone from here said that android 9 pie will have that choise.

Interesting and you are correct about number of Bluetooth devices...
https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/8/17659526/android-9-pie-best-small-useful-features
On Oreo, you are limited to two Bluetooth devices. Pie allows five.
But I'm not sure how more Bluetooth devices well help you stream the over-the-air FM radio to Bluetooth?
You will probably have to use online radio to get Bluetooth connection.

Yes, we are guaranteed Pie. Ever since last year we've said it won't come before 1st quarter of 2019, and most likely 2nd quarter. V40 and G7 and even V35 have priority over V30.
But we will get it.

Sorry it's still not working. Try to add earpiece (it's called "handset" in Mi 8 Lite, if i guess well) to the "speaker" section in the "mixer_paths_overly_static.xml".
There is a lot of mixer_path.....xmls in the /vendor/etc/. I guess that the "mixer_paths_overly_static.xml" is the only one, who is working.
I tried to modify all of others to increase the volume of headphones, but only the "mixer_paths_overly_static.xml" was working.
tried magisk module, not working
imposible
What the heck? microfone as a speaker?? I know that the earpiece can be used as a secondary speaker, but a microfone? have anyone installed or seen something like this?
I'm pretty surprised, hope it works
Don't work on my phone. No stereo sound

[issue] Amazfit 2 Stratos -> tragic bluetooth audio quality

Hey,
For last few months , I've got annoying situation when running with my earphones (tried 3 different Bluetooth devices -> all the same).
Connection is very poor, and music all the time interrupts/brakes, it is annoying.
Even I started running with watch on right hand, but it work ok when watch is about 10 cm from BT receiver...
I thought first that it is connected to some bug ROM, but nah -> situation is the same.
TRIED:
- different ROMs, EN and CN
- factory few times
Some other things I can try ? Maybe some special BT settings in kernel ?
I think quality of this speaker is low

I have the same problem with my amazfit pace, bluetooth connection seems to be poor. Music starts to get faster then and there is a background noise present. It is not all the time, but tested with different earphones . I couldnt find a solution so far. Watch is running on stock ROM. Any suggestions?
If you are not using TWS earbuds, then try to use the watch on the other arm (or change the headphones side, the one with the antenna should be at the same side as the watch). If it doesn't work then your have a watch with bad antennae, hardware issue, no way to fix it by software.
same problem on the latest stable sw version ...

Man, already having it on right side, and right headphone with BT receiver is at the level on my stomach -> still problem. Only 10 cm is working well. But wasn't this way in the beginning.
