Z3 mic not working while talking on speaker

[sid3091]

Ive just noticed this issue on my month old z3. People can hear me fine if i talk using the earpiece, but the moment i switch to speaker, my voice sounds distant, or I cant be heard at all. Ive tried factory reset, but no luck.

Only by rooting I think

I can't be heard when I TRY to phone people by either the normal way or on speaker phone! But I can hear them.... 😮

I'm pretty sure you can remove the latest update on your PC using the Sony PC x

I am having this issue too, no one can hear me, I tried through the hands free head set and speaker but still no one can hear me!! Going to be calling Three tomorrow but by the sound of it looks like nothing will be done!

Same issue here.

When loudspeaker is on, nobody can hear me, even when i turn it off and on and off vice versa.

I just throw out my older phone just to get rid of stupid issues like this and get this Sony which claimed to be the king model in Turkey.

There is also the yellowish cloud bottom of the screen problem and heating problem too, it's like the glass is gonna melt.

F.ck the king!

note: anyone knows if there's a way to roll-back to kitkat, or any better version in this very smart and capable(!) phone?

Hello

From my experiance when I remvoved the call recorder application I used the issue stopped, replaced the call recording application with another app

This issue is most likely cause when another application is using the mic at the same time when you issue the call. It can be the sound recorder, screen recorder, skype, ok google detection, etc., that's why a restart should fix the problem.

If you want to make sure that your problem is caused by an app, restart into Safe Mode and test if the problem is still there:

I had this issue but discovered that is was caused when AutoCallRecorder (third party app) was running.

To reproduce the steps

Make a call

Switch to speaker during call

Recipient can still hear me

Switch to earpiece during call

Caller can no longer hear me.

When AutoCallRecorder is not enabled the problem does not manifest.

It may also be caused if "Ok Google" is enabled all the time as it seems on this model the Mic can only be used exclusively.

While i am calling and put the speaker on it works fine but as soon as i switch off the speaker and try to talk the person on the other end can't hear me.
But if i talk througout the call via the headset earpiece the microphone works fine.
Can someone help me with this??
