I am frequently experiencing that when I try to call or if someone is calling me, they cannot hear me but I can hear them clearly. When I try calling through Facebook Messenger, everything works fine though. It looks like the mic is losing functionality when calling through GSM. If I restart my phone, the mic works again as it should. I don't want to keep restarting my phone to make me heard in a call. Any suggestion what the problem might be? I have already reset my phone twice.
I have the same message.. Any solutions

I have the same problem. Phone has been sent in for service twice, now it is on its third travel. First time they just checked it and found nothing. No surprise, cause its not always a problem. Second time they changed the microphone and something else, but when I received it there was still no functioning microphone.
I have also heard others with same problem. Huawei should really look into it.
Happens if you switch from private space back to standard. Also may be linked to "always listening" Google assistant. Had the same problem on my ZTE Axon 7. It's software not hardware.
Restart if you have to use private spaces and also look what other apps may have mic access.

Isn't software faults also a warranty matter?

Whats your build number ?
Solution?
Hey did you find a solution for this as this is driving me insane. I'm missing important phone calls as they can't hear me but if I call through WhatsApp or messenger it's fine. Tried everything I can think of.

Every time my wife calls she says she can't hear me for perhaps 2-3 seconds after I think the call has connected.. My previous phone did not do this, but the Nexus One does.
Anyone heard of this, and have any suggestions? I have Google Voice call on by default, but she's calling my cell number so I don't think it'd affect anything. As far as I can tell, the call is connected, but she can't hear me say anything for several seconds. I usually wind up going "Hello? Hello? Hello?" and she finally answers.
Glad to see I am not the only one this happens to..well not glad but i just hope this means its not just my phone.
I know when they call one of my numbers (either Google Voice or Cell Phone # not sure which) it says incoming call from <Name> press 1 to answer and press 2 to send to voicemail
@sandtiger
this is from google voice it is a filter setting you can change by going to to the setting on the google voice website.
But this is a different issue (im assuming) then the OP

Yeah, I think I muddied the waters mentioning Google Voice, but these are calls directly to me cell number..
I might try disabling Google Voice just for S&G just to see what happens.. Seems when I place calls, they're connected when I expect them to be, but the delay could be more critical when answering.
I haven't yet, but going to try calling myself from my work phone to see what kind of delay I'm hearing.
I am having this problem also...did you ever find a solution?
Using BT headset by any chance?
In that case, it's normal.
Nope, no headset. Just the phone.
I need to test some more, but I think this has gone away for me.. Delay answering, plus the other party was "dropping out" often, ie: if it got quiet on their end, their voice disappeared entirely, and sometimes faded in or out while doing so.
Only thing I've changed is I disabled Google Voice as being my default call method, but this thread is about answering calls so I doubt it matters, especially since the calls were directly to my cell number not my GV number.
I might turn GV back on the way I had it and test some more, but maybe it was something weird with AT&T?
Im noticing this problem too, both on 2.1 and 2.2.
It seems to be a problem specific to AT&T N1's.
I also experience this. I've adjusted to swiping the answer button, pausing, then saying "Hello." I typically pause about 0.75 or 1 full second, and rarely do I need to do it longer.
The opposite seems to be true of the vibrate-on-connect feature: about 1 second after the person picks up, then the phone vibrates in my hand. How is that useful?! =P
So my microphone seems to not be activated for periods of time, and I can't figure out what causes it, or really even how to fix it.
For example, today at work I was able to make calls for several hours, but after getting off I made a couple more calls that failed because the other party couldn't hear me.
Sometimes I can start Google Now voice search with a 'google', but after I make one voice entry, I can't make another one, and the next time I manually press the voice key it won't pick up any sounds at all. Even Shazam has problems with the mic sometimes, showing no equalizer bars whatsoever.
I thought this was a hardware issue because I thought it started one day (about the 3rd day I'd had it) after I dunked the phone in the sink, but in the diagnostics app the mic seems to do fine.
Is anyone else having this issue? It's really starting to get on my nerves. I guess a factory reset is in order?
I'm also having trouble finding any consolidated info on this issue; threads seem to trail off without any clear solutions.
hey,
im having some problems withthe mic as well, the other party cannot here me here and there and Ive read some forums that it might be software. also there was a solution on installing different home program and not use xperias Launcher. so hope this will help till KIT KAT is here

I'm having the same issue. Didn't see an answer here so I looked on the Sony product support website, and there a few suggestions were made:
- use a factory SIM, not a scissor-cut SIM card
- update the firmware to the latest version
- turn off "Microphone noise suppression."
link to the sonymobile website where I got this info - http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1/Microphone-issue-Xperia-Z1/m-p/450153/highlight/true#M6457
Time will tell if this worked for me. Let me know if you found a solution, or if this worked for you?

Good chance here to solve the problem. You can perform a factory reset after update as well or even now, this process sometime fix small issues.
is there any way to change from primary mic to make secondary mic use in calls? Like some build.prop tweak?

In build.prob there is no way to do that. To switch them I think you have to hack the kernel. Hacking kernel can be done on Custom one and for all this you have to have Unlocked Bootloader. Who can hack a kernel, just a Master.
Thanks for answer. I am on CM11 right now and custom kernel so it can be made if someone know what to change in kernel
So basically,
If I'm on a call over bluetooth, or on speakerphone, everything works fine until I have another call come in. Whether I decline the call or let it go to voicemail, the current call I have goes to handset audio. I can bring it back to bluetooth or speaker phone by changing to to handset, then back to bluetooth or speakerphone.
This has been happening since I got the phone, and even after a factory reset. It's absolutely killing me. I wanted to see if anyone has had this happen to have the same issue.
So after going through a second phone and being able to replicate the issue, I learned that something happened with Skype that caused this to happen. I believe it to be something to do with having Google Voice automatically roll over to Skype when I don't answer my primary number. I have since disabled it and everything seems to be working fine!
Hey guys, i have problem with my Z1. While i am calling via gsm calling the other side can hear me like very bad. Almost imposible to understand what i am saying. I would say that is problem with microphone, but on skype or sound recorder my voice was clear like a mountain stream.
I was running on stock deodexed 4.4.4, than i made factory restart and now i am running on Criskelo rom, 4.4.4 aswell. Still the same.
I even turn the noise suppresion in call menu aswell, didnt make a difference.
Anyone got the same problem?

Did you have this problem on stock rom as well and on an older build than 4.4.4?
On Stock Rom yes, but i have this issue just with 4.4.4. i guess.
I tried it on official 4.3.and the same.
Try a different sim card and make a call and report back

You may also try if you can make any different result with your device microphone when calling if you change any of voice settings in "settings/calling settings". There are atleast microphone noice canceling, equalizer, speaker volume increasing and slow speaking. Maybe hardware issue thou.
I tried to change everything. But i can hear it great on Skype And microphone test software, so not sure if it is hardware issue :-/
I just tried to call with my loud settings (like from main speaker) my voice was clear again. But when switching back it did the same.
I have this problem since i tried for the 5th time to call with it through the rain.
Now, every program the mic is dissorted. Even the sony service menu. Brought it my service provider for a repair/replace, but after a few weeks they told me the phone has water damage??? HOW the hell, i am not stupid, knowing to close the lids.
Now waiting for the parts of microphone hardware. Hopefully this will fix the problem.
So are you going to replace it by yourself? My voice is service menu is pure, even on skype calls and stuff like that, so i hope its not hardware related :-/
Problem fixed. I had removed the antidust cover of microphone and my voice is clear again.

Hi, I have the same problem. What did you do exactly?
Thanks
Hi, I'm currently running CM11, after flashing from stock. Whenever I attempt to make a call, through Hike, Razer, even WhatsApp(ticking sound comes for the receiver) the receiver cannot hear me, but I can hear them clearly. Is anyone facing this same problem? If anyone could, please try it out. It also happened to me on ProuDroid(4.4.4) but for a brief period on which I was on CM12(QuantumLP) the calling on razer worked fine. So I'm thinking it's maybe CM11 roms ?
Might be CM 11/12 issue try searching the relevant threads in the development section and do some research before posting
Same here. Just reboot the phone the problem will be solved.

I have the same problem with a skyrocket running cm11. It happened after I enabled whatsapp calling. Whenever I made or received a whatsapp call the mic would be disabled even for phone calls after that. I would have to reset the phone to restore functionality. I had to go back to an old 2.11.515 version of whtsapp to disable calling. Now everything is fine except for whatsapp calling.
