Hi.
I am sorry for my first post looking for help, but I tried to recover password of other account and I never receive the reset email.
I own a z5 compact and I cannot make the hands free button work, when I press that speaker icon button on a call, the sound goes to none. The music works so the speaker goes fine, and I tested the proximity sensor and seems to go right. I have the problem with the stock and some lineage based custom roms.
Lots of thanks.
Roberto

I have noticed that it works when usb is plugged.... there must be a config to touch to enable it always.

Hi,
It seems to me that since the Lollipop update, the background noise reduction during calls is defective.
Indeed, if the option is enabled (Parameters/Calls), my voice is less and less audible for my interlocutor. If I disable the option, the voice is good.
Is this a problem with lollipop or my second microphone is dead?

this is problem as far as i know since jelly bean and im wondering why did they ever put sutch option when u cant even use it...yes i know when i turn it off its all fine when turned on, all calls become very low on volume and sometimes echo acures...theyx could or should solve this for once and for all but anyway not a big prob for me...i had xperia Z before and i think it somehow worked there but with the xperia Z2 NoiseCanceling is a bad... but with NC headphones i can confirm that i was talking on the phone while riding motorcycle and the caller on other side heard me like i was in some room without any wind noise or whatsoever...so it really works with NC HP and second MIC IS NOT DEAD...hope i helped u make solve that question.cheers
Thanx,
So I never had to activate this option before. And that's when I searched in the new lollipop menu I had the "wrong" idea to do so.

This happened to me on KitKat,. It only happens when you flash a different customization version.
I rooted the Z2 and flashed a Generic ROM from another country and the Noise Reduction broke and Lollipop I flashed the Baltic Generic version and here too the noise reduction breaks. When i revert back to my original ROM the noise reduction works perfectly.
I'll try when the update will ne available for my country.
Guys let's team up and send some complaing emails to Sony to fix this ****. I can't use that option and it's really useful sometimes.
Dear All,
Hope you can help me with my bizarre issue with CM11.
I have no notification sounds (calls, sms, mms - none) playing when call or text arrives. The speaker works fine as the music plays. From there, it gets only weirder: I have no sound of "beep" when moving the volume slider, no sound of the screen lock or charger plug-in also.
What is interesting, when someone calls a very, very silent "beep, beep" is audible closely to the phone, similar to the one that usually informs about the second caller calling while you're already talking.
Vibrations also do not work.
I have tried other nightlies, it is the same (started on cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY, tried the one dated 2015.07.06 and 2015.06.07 to no effect).
Tried to apply some caller application, no effect.
Unplugged notifications from other sounds volume at sound settings, no effect.
Tried uninstalling lately installed apps.
Tried changing the ringtones.
I really had zero issues with CM11 and find it a fantastic way to prolong the life of my sgs3, however this issue is annoying af. Could you kindly please share some insight on that, as the internet search does not help.
Also, this is my first post, lurking a lot, registered due to not finding answer anywhere, if I chose the wrong category do not go harsh on me guys

My Xperia Z2 (D6503) Android 5.1.1 - has problem in microphone. When I make a call, people can't hear me. But when I use Audio Recoder, the microphone works fine. I wonder if my microphone is broken or not, because it still work fine in Audio Recorder. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks!

Thanks, I tried that too, but it still not work.
Some guy tell me that the phone has 2 microphone, one for call, and the secondary microphone for recording. Is that true?
Under the Google App voice settings, try disabling "OK Google" detection "from any screen".
I had the same problem and this fixed it.
It didnt work to me.
I tried like you guys posted, but it didnt work to me. Im using Kitkat 4.4.4, everything is ok until I update some app nearly time on CHPlay. Disable Google Now, goog search or anything, even reset factory data but nothing change to me. Somebody help me

I am quite not sure, but apparently everyone in this thread are having hardware issues rather than software.
I would bring it to some professionals in a proper phone shop and try that.
When I place or receive a regular call the other person can barely hear me unless I speak less than 0.5 inches from the microphone. At less than 0.5t inches, they hear me good. At 2 inches extremely muffled or nill (this is the distance of the mouth in a regular call), and at 3 or more inches nothing at all.
Physically the mic however works fine when recording videos, so it has to be something non-physical. Also confirmed with a test on the Microphone at *#*#7378423#*#* where the both primary and secondary mics record fine.
In desperation I used flashtool and re-image the whole thing (even with erasing all data) with the latest XpriFirm ROM and tested it right after the successful image and without installing any 3rd party apps. The problem still there.
I also tried 3 different ROMs from different countries, but the problem still there.
Using a external wired headset mic works fine.
It seems, like a setting that is aggressively reducing the mic sensitivity just for the phone calls.
Ruled out 3rd party applications, mic physical damage or normal Android setting, I am really lost on to proceed from here!
Does anyone know what to do?

Model: E5823.
Bootloader has never been unlocked so no root.
Do you have the volume all the way up during the call? As in once call is started turn it up.
Idk how much it will help but have you tried to flash the soundmod? I have never had a problem with the mic other than a small echo on speakerphone. Also have you tried speakerphone wile in call? Might be something wrong with the phone apk, try a third party phone dialer? It wouldn't hurt to go through the sound menus to check everything as well.
Hi!
I doubt is a setting (in the Sound Effects options everything is off) since I flashed a stock clean ROM.
Did not know there are alternative dialers... I will study them today.
Regarding flashing the soundmod, can you do that without being rooted? If so, i'll search in how to do it too.
Cheers and thanks from just a couple of dozen miles south of you Sagnasty.
Have you tried to change the value of microphone sensitivity, although the option is in the Settings / Sound and Notification / Accessory Settings - turn mic sensitivity to high and see how it is then in a conversation?
The Speakerphone as suggested by civicsr2cool was surprising... the mic just picks up voice just fine from the distance in that setting!!
Then I just played with those mic sound settings as per Monipeev, (I did that days ago) but now it did something and in any sensitivity setting works fine... it must have been playing with this setting and the speakerphone one that may have unstuck some mic glitch.
Thanks so much guys... and two think I spend hours trying to solve this and even flashing ROMs! :victory:
Hi everybody. It happend to me with my Xperia Z5 compact as well - the mic did not work properly during call, but when I tested it offline the mic was OK. Playing with settings did not work as well as factory reset, so I ordered microphone spare part from China (ca 2$) and replaced it. Then the problem disappeared. I agree with polar_bay above it seems like mic glitch - I think my spare mic was slightly different from the original (maybe less sensitive) and that's it. Maybe also complete voltage drop (battery disconnection) helped to unstuck it.
My recommendations are:
1. play with mic settings (sw)
2. open the phone and disconnect the battery for a while (1 minute)
3. place small&thin absorber between mic and hole in phone case
4. replace microphone
hi, I have just bought another used xperia z5 compact as my other device has gotten old. after I received the new one I almost directly rooted it installed twrp and flashed lineageos 17. after a while I recognized that the microphone is not working during calls, only if the speaker is enabled. also when i want to record audio or use the tuner it doesn't work.
is there any chance to find out if it is a hardware problem or if it can be solved by some setting or so, be it coding?
thanks for any hints!
currently on AOSP 5.1.1 there is no volume at all, can't play music from music app or youtube or anywhere else, the problem started off with no volume when people try to call me (yes the ringer was on full volume and sound), after a few days the volume started to not work on facebook videos and youtube and other stuff, the phone speaker works so when i notice that someone does call me (vibrate works but don't really notice most calls) the speaker works i can hear the other person (mics not broken), loud speaker doesn't work, is the actual speaker broken? how do i go about a replacement if so, have looked a lot around the web and cannot find parts other than screen and digitizer. I have tried flashing the firmware with twrp and sp flashtool, formatting everything and tried different versions of firmwares and still the same not fixed, also tried custom roms... any suggestions?
I have flashed my phone to stock Android 5.1 as this is the only stable version and all is working well apart from the microphone. When I receive a call the ringtone occurs and i can hear the other person but they can't hear me. I also tested the mic on google but nothing happened.
However, I downloaded TestYourAndroid from Play store and the mic works so I know it's got to be a firmware issue.
Also I can record voice by recording app
If you can help me I would be most grateful.
Note. this is android 5.1 lollipop so it doesn't have full permissions mode, I can access permissions for downloaded app but not for system app such as "phone" is.
