my mic on my xperia is acting up. if i hold the phone to my ear normally then no one can hear me when i talk. i have to hold the mic area right up to my mouth but even then the other person can barely hear me. bluetooth and the headset that came with the phone work just fine. I sent the phone back to sony and just got it back and they said they fixed it but did not. i'm super frustrated at sony's repair service since my phone is not fixed. has anyone else had this problem???
Sorry, I can't quite hear what you're saying, you're very quiet...
Only joking ofc I've only had the problem where the phone thinks the headphones are connected. From your description it's not that problem though. I can understand how frustrating it'd be to send it to Sony, only to find the problem's not fixed...
I think this is quite a well known problem, the mic on the stereo headset just does not work.

I have the same problem:
No sound during call, however speakerphone works and headset works well. There is no sound only when I use it as regular phone. Person on the other line can hear me well all the time.
When I raise volume during call I can hear peices of the person on the other line, at the same time as phone beeps that it reached sound maximum.
This happened after phone was dropped and it hard reset itself automatically.
I am trying to reboot it now with different ROM.
Headset jack hasnothing to do with it, since speakerphone works well.
If anybody has any idea please share.
Thanks
This is a hardware issue, (the audio for the internal speaker and microphone is routed via the headphone socket) The socket has a very small switch that is opperated by physically inserting the jack plug. Sometime mine plays up and I fix it by pushing a straigtened out paperclip into the socket.

Big Thanks DOC C
This is the first time i post a reply even though i've been a member of xda-developers for a long time and like the work done here. I must say that I was about to throw my phone if it wasn't for DOC D. The problem is indeed with the headphone jack. Sound in my earphones is messed up and phone calls have no voice. You just saved me a few hundred bucks!! BIG HUG!

Did you use to carry your pone in your pocked? Sometimes there is a small peace of dust opening that small switch inside the headphone jack. Maybe you try to get rid of it with compressed air. In some cases the connection between that connector and the main-board is broken. Dismantling is a good idea, but you have to know, what you're doing. The fact that the headphone is working well, is a good sign, that the problem is inside that jack.
In some cases the springs that contact the speaker to the MB are worn or dusty, try to get a better connection.
sound problem in my smartphone hct tytn 2
Helo dear friends
I got sound problem in my htc after I installed my new android in it
every time I start my phone first call only I can make and hear the voice very well,..but when I end the call next calls done but I can not hear any sounds
can any one here help me please???
I don't know if this is a fault or something I didn't expect but would be glad to here how others have found it.
I have had the ameo for a few weeks and have noticed that if I use a bluetooth or wired headphone everything seems to be fine on a phone call. However when I try to use it as a speakerphone, whoever I am speaking to complains that my voice is breaking up (I have a strong signal strength). It appears that if there is any response from the person I call or any noise in their background then the microphone at my end is interrupted making my voice unintelligible. I know the manual says to use a headset but what is the point of having a speakerphone if you can't use it? Does anyone else have the same problem or have I got a faulty unit?

I get this on full volume in a small room. Turning the volume down a bit usually seems to solve it. I think the mic is pretty sensitive and can get flooded a bit too easily.

I have used both the Ameo and the Dopod rom on the same device and can conirm that this problem is worse on the Ameo rom
Could other dopod users tell their experiences regarding hands-free calling

I experienced something similar but only when the caller has a lot of background noise on their end. It's not a consistent problem here so I assume it's not the same issue you're having.
Thanks for the replies - it looks as if the unit is working to spec but that there is a 'built-in' problem when using the phone as a speakerphone. I didn't get this on the spv2000 I replaced with the ameo so wasn't expecting it. Background noise does seem to trigger it - I just tried phoning using the speaker phone to call an answerphone and it worked fine with clear audio at the other end. I think a day or 2 of playing with the volume to minimise the problem is the next step. I'll post back when I can be more definite but would be grateful for any other opinions.
Cheers

On my U1000 the mic works fine in speakerphone mode. There are no brakeups of voice even while walking mid-traffic. Yes, I have to speak loud but that is expected with background noise over 85db.
However, the speakers do not return sound very loud at all (for a speakerphone). I have to lean way forward and almost put my face on the screen to be able to clearly hear the other side (even in a totally quiet environment).
Would have been great to have had a decent speaker phone, but as it is I'm sticking to my bluetooth headset.
The 2 drawbacks with bluetooth is the answer delay, it takes a good 1 second before the connection is established between the headset and phone. The second thing is the sensitivity of the mic, it picks up everything that goes on around you, and drowns out your voice. I have to move the mic close to my mouth if there is other noises going on around me (but this is most likely a bluetooth headset problem, and not related to the U1000).
OK several calls later and after fiddling about with the volume I've found that the best way for this problem to be overcome is to set the 'in call' volume to its lowest! I've also set the main unit volume to about 40% but that shouldn't really have any effect. It's odd that the best way for the speakerphone to work is on minimum volume - fine for single calls but not much use if I want a few other people to listen in. However this is a very small problem now and the benefits of this device hugely outweigh this small drawback.
hey, i have a stragne problem wit hmy hermes. all the sudden, the speaker on the rear wasnt working anymore when somebody was calling and i didnt hear anybody when on the phone. also, the person calling,didnt hear me.
so i blew in the plug for the headset and poked around in there with a little screw driver, as i read on the forum. then the little plastik thing in the plug fell out, i think it was loose before. now, i can still charge, i also can listen to music via headset. when people call me, the rear speaker is working again and people can hear me, however, i cant hear anybody! not on the rear speaker, not the normal phone speaker, not on the headset...
what can i do?
I just bought some M9Ps with a built in mic, and they don't even work with this phone. You have to hold the mic button to get clear sound, and when trying to make a call it automatically ends unless you hold the mic button the whole way. Then the person can't even hear you..
Is there a fix to this? I REALLY don't like the default headphones.
There is no fix. You could have known about this issue if you read the accessoires board, because the problem has been documented there.
I bought the M9P's too by the way. I returned them for the regular M9's.
well so what does that mean?
that it wont work?
well i flashed back to di18 and works perfectly wit no issues mic works n so do the headphones onthe headset
now when im in dk28 headphones work but not the mic :/
something ****ed up in the kernel?
Well look on the bright side. You can speak into the phone's mouthpiece even though your earphone is plugged in. =D
I am having the same problem, when you say flashed back to di18 what do you mean? Is that a certain custom rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
+1 on this, skullcandy holua's does the same thing, works great on my mw600 but not when plugged directly into the phone. What are you flashing back to fix?
daang i have the same problem with my skullcandy buds Is it because I am on cm 6 + 2.2?
I am using the supplied (stock) headset that came with the phone and have noticed my callers telling me that I sound far from the phone when in fact, have been putting the headset's microphone very close to my face to talk. Then I figured what was the problem, the caller couldn't hear because when I was speaking, my phone was far away from my face. Doesn't make sense.
Why would the handset's microphone be activated when I plugged my headset into the headphone jack fully? Shouldn't it be using the headset's microphone instead? I am using the headset and I have to put the phone closer to me in order to talk because that's where the sound input is going through (handset for sound-in and headset for sound-out)
Does anyone else seem to be experiencing this? If you haven't noticed this already, could you give some input and let me know? Greatly appreciate it and thanks in advance.
I haven't noticed anything like this.
I will test tomorrow and see what the other caller says. I've been mostly using the headset that came with my Cliq, so haven't had much of a chance to try it out. I haven't had any complaints with the Cliq headset on the G2 though.
I've used the G2 headset for maybe 2-3 calls so far but no complaints.

I've had the same issue and haven't tried to figure out what is causing it. If you unplug the headset and plug it back in it has fixed the problem for me every time.
same thing but on my wife MT3G Slide with both headsets. i have not encountered that issue with the G2

Actually, the first time it happened, I thought the microphone just sucked and I just winged it and kept talking but talked louder lol. I figured out the second time (yesterday) that it could be getting sound input through the handset instead of the headset. So I went to the handset and asked if they heard me better and they said "oh yeah now you sound close". So after that, I unplugged it and retried it and same outcome. I tried using my Sidekick 2008 (LOL) headset and the microphone piece on the headset worked!!
So I went back on my Sidekick 2008 and called someone and tried the G2 headset with the outcome that the headset's microphone works?! WTH? I thought it would be because the G2's headset being defective but doesn't seem to be the case. So I went back to the G2 to try the headset one more time with its complimentary headset to find that it works as intended now.
Maybe its a software glitch on the phone? Because I know it was in the earphone jack properly (twice), if not, I would have heard distortion in the headset itself. I was using Bluetooth earlier and do recall this issue happening the first time when I was using Bluetooth and switching to headset.

Hmm. I did have the MT3G and honestly, people have told me the call quality on that phone was better than the G2. But to fix or try to troubleshoot your wife's MT3G issue with the headset, try powering off the phone and turning it back on then replug the headset.
my wife had done a wipe on her phone and flashed a different rom before i told her to try it. so i dont know what to say lol it works

lol so it works now?
if so I would say it is safe to say it is software issue. because if it was hardware defect, the phone would not know to do sound input through the handset. that is my guess.
she had cyanogen and changed it to a rooted stock rom i'll update if any issues
