I recently purchased this phone and since than I have been facing lots of problem. The biggest of them all is that I cannot hear anybody speaking on the other end of the conversation even though the volume is set to 10/10 but its nothing, somehow my in-ear speaker stopped working or something.. Whereas if I put the call on speaker mode its working perfectly fine.. Kindly help me out, anyone who knows the solution to this problem, as to what should I do, its really frustrating (plus I cannot take it back to the repair centre as I purchased the phone from another country).. Thanks..
I have already tried the phone reset option but that's of no use, secondly the version that I am running is 11 something *not the latest one*
It's hardware issue I think, try to disassemble your lumia and reattach cable of the speaker.
THanks for the reply.. but I found a better and a permanent solution to the problem.. I threw my Nokia Lumia 800 in the trash can and purchased Samsung Galaxy SII, atleast it offers me the very basic functionalities unlike Nokia..

Yeah....too bad my Nokia can make and hear calls perfectly.
Get over it, whenever you have large volume shipments of a product some defective ones slip by. Nokia's warranty is worldwide, so you could have at least called them to check. Or you know, ship it to their repair center in another country or something?

Any chance you could fish it out of the trash and send to me? I'll pay shipping!
Hi All new to this forum.
i have a Jiayu G4 MT6589 T
love the phone
Have 2 problems
the mic sound dosent work (people cant hear me when i call)
And sometimes get "sd card damaged", its not works in other phones
the shop where i bought it online will take it back under guarentee. but wants me to root and reflash the phone.to see if it will solve the problem first.
I have downloaded the Jiayu.es App looks good but its in spanish.
My question is does anyone have an English translation or another option with a step by step guide.
i have also downloaded mobile uncle.
My local repair shops wont touch it as its not a mainstream phone.
Thanks in Advance
Don
Hey guys, I was wondering if the new Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet will take calls just like a normal Xperia smartphone.
I ask this because I am considering purchasing a Z Ultra but I prefer an even bigger screen if possible, would the Z3 Compact Tablet also take calls, where I can keep it to my face and talk?
I heard it will require a Bluetooth headset in order for you to use it as a phone.
I am confused as to which one to get, any help would be appreciated!

This review says it has an earpiece and microphone. Haven't been able to find anything either way from Sony's information.

That's strange, because in the video he mentions nothing about a microphone, only that it has two speakers in the front...

Who knows...this one lists "active noise cancelation with dedicated mic".
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z3_tablet_compact-6633.php
Edit...found three more sites all with differing specs.
1. Phone calls with Bluetooth headset.
2. Microphone yes - mic input 3.5mm
3. Built in microphone - yes
Edit #2.... Attached Sony document which lists audio recording formats, and Google Now.

Interesting, thanks for that....But it seems that on the pdf document attached it does not say anything about a microphone, and if this document is from Sony Officially, then It looks like the phone will only work via Bluetooth.
I also lean towards this as Sony would have made this known as a phablet, or at least really stressed in the presentation on Spt 3 at IFA that this can work as a full out phone, because its not a small thing that just gets left out.
I also would assume it cant be used as a "full phone" because I don't think they would just ditch the Z Ultra line completely just like that.

It has video recording in camera. Do most tablets record video without audio? I read somewhere that "phablet" is considered to be 5.5 to 7 inch maybe that is why it is called compact tablet. Looked at pdf a little closer and see video chat listed for front camera and speakerphone listed for communication. Also voice I put is listed, seems like they would put an asterisk next to them if bluetooth were required.
Wow just noticed quoting each other is all whacked out, looks like it started with your second post.
The white paper for z3 phone is nearly identical to tablet except for rear camera features (microphone is not mentioned) all the other functions and features appear to be same.

I was wondering too as all the screenshots show a phone icon. Not sure if they're just mock-ups or not though...

The LTE version you can send text messages and make calls.

Right but the question we are trying to answer is whether it has microphone and earpiece on the handset. At least one site claims in their review that a Bluetooth headset is needed for calls.

Just saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2zg7hV3XtU#t=240
I don't understand the guy but it appears that he is saying there is an ear piece there although I do not see it.
Sony says on their website that LTE and 4G are not available in all markets for this device as well.
Just have to wait and see I guess.

By using the term earpiece I only meant to describe call audio routing to top speaker the same as on Z Ultra.
I think they are referring to the bands available from your carrier may not be compatible, not that the device will be unavailable.
I too am interested in this, especially as there's a special offer on the Z3 tablet at the moment in the UK
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/10/1...-tablet-compact-for-under-300-including-case/
according to a comment on the Clove blog
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/10/10/...ompact-arriving-week-commencing-20th-october/
it can be used as a phone, but I would wait until they have their hands on one.
SXZ3TC can be used as a phone, but since he hasn't conversational speaker, just normal speaker, everyone others will hear your interlocutor. Also it hasn't proximity sensor, so won't lock screen. So more advisable use handsfree, especially that one with awesome noise reduction.
So, do you guys plan on using the Z3 Tablet Compact as a phone? I'm not sure what to do really, since my first plan was to use it instead of my Note 2 and iPad. But when I learned that you're unable to place calls like "normal" and have to rely on a separate bluetooth headset, I'm not so sure anymore. What if you forget the headset at home, for example?
I have a hard time believing this thing doesn't have a mic for talking on the phone otherwise how do you Skype, gchat or whatever? I have heard there is no proximity sensor which i can live with because I don't want to put this beast next to my face anyways therefore I don't care about the earpiece part for phone calls. Come on guys, do you guys really want to put this thing up to your face in public? You'll never get laid! HAHAHA. Hopefully the 3.5 jack will do the trick.

From reports in the Z3TC forums from European members that have them, it works the same as using phone in speaker mode. Not idea for having private conversations.

You guys will be really popular on public transportation I would so joke around if i knew someone using the Z3TC as their phone. I would call them up at work or in public and ask them for something awkward, like "i need my buttplug back soon" or something.

"And should you so choose, you could make normal phone calls and send text messages with this. Unless you are particularly socially comfortable a Bluetooth headset might be the best bet."
doesn't say if it has an ear-piece rather than speakerphone feature.
of course, Sony want you to buy a BRH10 and use that as the handset instead

(which would be great, except that it doesn't have a headphone socket nor AptX)
Hello. I think that the title isn't clear enough, so let me explain. I live in a country where there's not much security on the streets, and phones are stolen very often. That's a problem if one has an expensive phone (such as a Galaxy Note). So I thought: "What if there's some kind of app that lets you pair two android phones via bluetooth, and one phone sends notifications (such as SMS, calls and Whatsapp messages) to the other one (being "the other one" an inexpensive old phone, such as a Galaxy Pocket) ? " (So I would use the galaxy note on restaurants, shopping malls etc. and the galaxy pocket on the street; by doing that if it gets stolen, at least the expensive phone still remains in my possesion). I searched in google but couldn't find anything like that (in other words, it would be kinda like using an old android phone as a smartwatch). Can somebody help me? (((for the ones wondering why the hell would I want this; in my country there are some kind of thieves called "motochorros" : they ride on a motorbike and steal in less than a second the phone from the hand of the victim)))
Thank you very much
I think I may have found the answer to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614142 (I put it here so that if anyone else needs something similar, it's right here)
I have a Samsung s23 Ultra and a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
My Partner has an Iphone and apple watch
She will often make her phone beep from her watch or make her watch beep from her phone if you can't find either and I thought thats pretty handy.
But I have looked and I cannot find an option to do this on my devices and thought surely the android deviced must be able to do this as well?
The only thing I can find similar is find my phone etc, but you have to go on a website to do that, so think thats more for if it's been really lost out and about or stolen.
I'm guessing it should be simple enough for the device via bluetooth to request a sound?
Does anyone know how you do this?
Regards
James
I have a Garmin Fenix 6Pro and they have such a function.
Either you can set it to ring or just via Bluetooth Signal strength.
I have a Onplus Watch and S23u and I have this function.

It's in the wear app to find the watch. And the app with the magnifying glass on the watch find the phone.....
There's also Smart Things by Samsung. It can do much more.
Samsung find my phone can GPS locate them too (and again more).
