So I usually send an receive Whatsapp audio messages, and sometimes I listen to these messages by placing the handset on my ear, it is a cool functionality that allows me to listen to the message through the top speaker when the proximity sensor is triggered.
The problem is that sometimes something is flipped over, so by default the message would play through the top speaker, and when I bring the phone to my ear, the message is played through the bottom speaker. I've been embarrassed by this a couple of times when I'm trying to listen to a message when others are around me. The only solution I know is restarting the phone, which is very inconvenient.
Any idea why this is happening? and how to fix it? P.S: my phone is not rooted.
Thanks

Hello,
I have the problem that when I receive a message or email, my phone vibrates and plays the notification sound also during a phone call which is extremely annoying, also for the person on the other side.
Any chance I can change this? It want the sound and vibrating, but NOT during phone calls.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Hi there I have the same problem and couldn't agree with u more.it it's really annoying when in a call and u can hear it going off in ear.I'd love to no if there is any way possible to stop this.....
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

I have this problem too with my s3. Do you solve the problem.
My rom is cm11 nightly 20150712
Hello everyone,
On whatsapp you can send voice messages right?
For some reason my voice messages are very soft recently.
My friends have complained that they can't hear my messages and when i'm listening to my own sent voice messages, it's very soft too!
However, I am nearly touching the microphone while i'm sending a voice message!
Does anyone else have this issue with whatsapp?
I did not encounter any problems like a few weeks ago.
Warm regards,
Rosaline

Hello,
I have a similar issue. Basically if I send a voice message without staying very close to the microphone the message results very soft. But if I put my mouth close to the microphone the voice message is ok. I don't know if it depends on the microphone or on the firmware.
Try and set it to high? Settings>sound and notifications>accessory settings>mic sensitivity

Hmm, I seem to have the same problem even though I hold the bottom of the phone (the mic) in front of my mouth
I have an app that is recording an actual phone call (so not a whatsapp call) for me and when I listen to that recording my mic seems to be doing fine.
So it is only whatsapp that's acting weird.
Not sure what could be the reason.
Have you found any fix for it because i have the same problem with snapchat
Can anyone please explain how to make and receive a call on a watch with a speaker? I tried initiating a call on my ZW2 and it went to the phone. I then tried answering an incoming call on the watch and it also went to the phone. Is there a way to make it go through the watch (only if initiated by the watch)?
Yes, I do have Marshmallow on my ZW2. Yes, this is the model with the speaker.
I sideloaded the update and initially had the same issue, I would scoll to my contacts and then try a call, it would use the speaker on the phone.
To fix it I sweep to the menu on the right (applications), then scrolled down Phone. From the phone application I then placed a call from the contact list that came up. That activated the speaker for me.
On the Zenwatch 2:
-Go to settings then scroll down to "Bluetooth"
-Tap "Play phone audio on watch on"
-Go to settings then scroll down to "Sound"
-Make sure the volumes are high enough on all of them so you can hear
To make a call on the Zenwatch:
-You can either say "Okay Google, call ______" or you can keep swiping left from your watch face until you see a bunch of your contacts
To receive a call on the Zenwatch:
As far as I know, if you answer the call with your phone, it will automatically use the phone's speaker.
If you answer with the watch, it should be using the watch's speaker
Okay, I found it. Thank you, both KevOne and Bladder61.

I've got some questions also. I'm trying to decide between the smaller Zenwatch 2 without the speaker and the larger one. Wondering really how useful the "call from your watch" feature really is.
1) If I've got a bluetooth unit in my car, will the phone automatically switch over from the watch to the in-car system when I turn the ignition?
2) Is the watch speaker loud enough that you could carry on a conversation on the street? I imagine you might have to hold it up to your ear.
Hi there people.
I've got the following issue. If anyone has this issue or has fixed it let me know.
Calls seem to be interfering with my mic. Sometimes my voice doesn't go to the other end even though normal call or whatsapp call. They might hear 1 word then nothing from me for a few seconds then a word or two and it sometimes sounds like a clicking noise.
I've called my self too and I can't hear anything on my RM7 but whoever I call can hear the clicking noise and sometimes nothing from me.
Sometimes I can't hear the other person too. It cuts out.
Same with normal calls and whatsapp calls.
Continuing my testing, I can send voice notes without issue and receive them and play it via rhe earpiece without issue too. Even voice recording and video recording the microphone does a good job only in calls it bugs out.
Continuing my testing
Works fine with headphones connected. But mic and earpiece work fine when used by voice notes and video ect
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I have the same issue. It started around last week.
I cleaned my speakers and mic thinking I got dirt build up. But it's still the same.
It seems like a software issue. Looking at the patch notes in latest OS update (NX679J_UNcommon_V3.16) for me, they have listed "Repair: possible issues with calls in some scenarios". I don't know when they released the update and when I applied it to my phone but that could be the reason for this issue too.
After reading your post I tried regular calls with headphones, speakers and video call with Google meet. They all work fine.
For call on speaker, as soon as you turn the speaker off it starts acting up again.
Hopefully they will fix this issue soon.
From my testing it seems like its an app or something interfeering with the calls. I started the phone up in safe mode (no 3rd party apps only stock ones) and the issue was gone, so the issue is a app related issue, thinking its a virus I just reset the phone to factory and all is good now. I didnt find what was causing it.
Thanks for an update.
I will play around a bit and if it doesn't work out then will do the same.
