It worked once for me, but hasn't worked since.

That gives me a smidgen of hope. Maybe an update will soon fix it.

I'm still trying to figure out what app I disabled that stopped certain parts of voice control from working.
"Shoot" works to take pictures, always has.
"Answer" and "Reject" does not work to handle incoming calls...
Anyone figure this out yet?

I've had some problems trying to get voice control to work with music. I thought maybe the music was to loud to hear me, but it has trouble with the headset too. Reading about what disabled app made me think maybe S-Voice. I will have to try re-enabling it.

I have not disabled or frozen S-Voice on my S4 and the answer/reject commands are still not working, so I don't think that's the issue.

2.3.3 Problem...unique?

Since updating my phone to 2.3.3, if I leave it for about half an hour, the in call volume sets itself to a very low volume, and it answers all calls on loudspeaker. I can obviously turn the volume up and disable the speakerphone, however its very irritating...any ideas?

I can't even update yet.
That sounds like a strange problem. Do you have any BT devices? If so remove them then re-pair them.

Enable it at Settings, Motion, check Motion activation and then turn on direct call.
And you have to be using the stock messaging app.

Help, my S4 Front Speaker stopped working properly

Hello XDA! My Galaxy S4 Front Speaker stopped working properly recently. All ROMS I've tried, it's still the same, even Stock. When I call, there is sound at first, then gone, but speakerphone works. I've tried clicking receiver in the Service Menu (*#0*#) and there is sound! I have sound in my front speaker during calls like normal, but is gone after I reboot and I have to do it again. Is there a permanent fix? Thanks in Advance!

I am not sure if this will help or not but if you have anything like Beats, Viper and DSP Manager installed
or flashed you must uninstall them. Also if you have any audio mods (audio louder flashable zips) you
need to remove/delete those kinds of mods as well.
If I were you I would also backup any audio apps I had which are sound/music related and then
uninstall them all except for the stock music player which comes with stock roms.
Then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot the phone and test your
phone and see if this solves your problem.
If worst comes to worse and it still has the issue then you will need to flash a 100% Stock ODIN flash
non-rooted rom which is the same model that came with your phone and test it again see if its working
properly.
If its still NOT working properly then its a hardware issue, hopefully your phone still under warranty.
If it is you need to return the phone and either ask for an exchange or repair.
Good luck!

try doing a full wipe then flash a stock rom
I went back to Full Stock with wipe.. it did the same thing.. I still need to go to Service Menu. Would anyone possibly know if the Google Play Edition ROMS have a service menu if i flashed that instead?

On the dialer dial "#0*# then click the "call" button (General Test Mode)
it will give you a lot of options including "speaker" testing.
Good luck!
It takes less time to click the THANKS button then typing "thank you"...
even for aosp based roms?

Speaker issue
Hello there, I'm also suffering with the same issue.
Did the Test with *#0*# and no sound coming from the speaker at all, only from the receiver on the top of the phone.

[Q] Problem with the speakerphone

Hello everybody. I need help regarding a serious issue I have. When I am in call and I activate the speaker phone the other party can barely hear me saying the sounds is really low. But when I tried recording a sound it has no problems whatsoever. I have no idea why this happens but its really annoying me. I would really appreciate if someone suggests me a solution on this one, cuz I couldn't find any by now.
Something is most likely blocking the top microphone of the phone.

Anyone please give me suggestion on what should I do, this is really annoying me..

Have you removed any cases etc. as mentioned above? If you have, to rule out any software complications flash a factory image.

Thing is when I use voice recorde, I hear it loud as f***, so there're no issues. Only when speaking and launching the loud speaker they say they hear me very low. And yes my display was broken and they replaced it, maybe they ****ed something, but since the Sound Record works well, where's the logic?
If there is a case it is possible that when you record sound, the device is recording through the bottom microphone which is not obstructed, and the top microphone you use during calls may be obstructed resulting in your issue.
Aside from that, maybe there is some sort of volume/speaker/microphone app that was installed that is messing with your mic levels during a call. I would still suggest to remove any 3rd party accessories and if the issue still occurs, than backup your data and flash the factory image.

Did you call the same person each time you were testing it?

No, tested with a lot of people with normal voice calls. Also tried Viber, Facebook calls - same stuff. My logic is this: since I am recording my voice with a voice program from miles away, that isn't possible to be the lower mic. So the speakerphone should work fine. But on calls its a different story, i tried without the speakerphone to speak away from the phone (mimicking as if it is a sound rec app) they hear me even worse. What could be the issue? I am confused
anyone...please answer guys, need desperately your help
help
yes same
People, we do need an answer please.
Keeping it recent, hopefully someone can help
answer?
Have you guys tried flashing the factory images?

No, but it hasn't anything to do with this. Tried several roms and kernels same results. I sent my phone for repair broken screen, after 1st delivery they even had the front camera not centered so i returned it back. Maybe the mic is broken? But if so, how come voice recording works well?

microphone mutes itself

Occasionally my mic goes on mute when I receive \ make a call. I have just updated to 5.1.1
There is no pattern and I have tried everything.
I have seen elsewhere that other handsets are suffering from this bug. Has anyone else had it and can offer a fix
It's the worst when using skype with earphones. Doesn't even work

Exactly! Also reboot fixes the issue but after some time it starts muting again. Happens only on outgoing calls for me. On incoming calls microphone works.
So the only solution is factory reset? Maybe new .570 firmware build will fix the problem...
I think you guys should also take about your issue in talk.sonymobile.com
I made a thread there called "Skype issue on 5.1.1" in the Z3 Compact section. Sony needs to see this.

I'm also having the same Issue and realize that the real problem relies on Google app. If you disable the "OK Google" recognition on any screen the mic will work as it is..

After much testing of features and apps i have got the problem down to either OK Google from any screen or Sony Smart Connect.
It is only when 1 of those features are enabled, does the mic mute sporadically.
There is no pattern and therefore can be absolutely certain. My instinct us Sony Smart Connect.
Can you guys try a skype call using earphones? It really doesn't work. I have smart connect and google app disabled anyway. The mic just refuses to work

Nexus 4 same Problem. Only reason why I abandoned it and bought the z3c. Thought it was an hardware issue. Loved the device. Hrrgh.
Right now the z3c is in for repair. Display coming of and using the Nexus 4 again.
Following even more testing. I am convinced the problem is in Sony smart connect. disable and remove it.
Been working OK for a couple of days. Must reboot once deleted the app.
Note that some other apps have the same issue like Vidyo Desktop.
Trying to freeze off smar t connect, finger crossed
