Hi
Often this problem is happening the other end. I've noticed this issue on several phones not just the Diamond.
The problem can often happen if you are calling another mobile and they have their volume up loud. The Diamond seems to send quite a loud clear sound as I've had a few friends on mobiles say they were "turning me down" volume wise
Where the person you are calling has a mobile with the volume up loud, your voice arrives at their mobile, it is then sent out very loudly to their earpiece, and their phones own microphone picks it and transmits it back to you, so you hear an echo of your own voice. If others you are calling complain they hear their own voice echo, then turn your own volume down.
Some people have their mobiles so loud you can hear the other side of a conversation, and they are probably making themselves deaf in the process.
Try asking the person you call next time to turn down their earpiece volume, or you talk quieter and see if it stops.

or is it the network problem?

I doubt it is. It is all digital where would an echo get introduced?
The echo's I've heard are all produced by the person I'm calling with my voice so loud it is being picked up by their microphone and sent back to me with a delay added by the network and they just need to turn their volume down to resolve it. Tiny small phones and really load ear pieces are the cause as far as I've found.

My samsung captivate is having sound issues.
When i am talking on a speaker phone, after 2-3 min. i cant hear any voice on the speaker, i have to turn off the speaker and talk. And some times when someone calls, the phone doesn't rings. it just show the incomming call( the phone is not in a silent mode). And even when i play any music, it plays for some time and later its just silent.
If the speaker of the phone is bad, i should be bad all the time.
if it is a software problem, i update the software regularly.
can any one please let me know what should i do. i will be very thankful to you
Try firmly pressing down on the speaker housing. It may just be a loose connection.
I have had my Z3c about 6 weeks (US- AT&T) and I really enjoy everything about this phone. However, recently the phone quit ringing audibly when I have an incoming call. When I get a call, the screen comes on and shows that I have a call, the phone vibrates like it always does and the LED flashes bright white. But no sound, no ringtone. Actually - a very quiet ringtone, like through the small phone receiver speaker maybe. All other notifications sound out normally: SMS, email, alarms all work fine. Speakerphone works fine. Only incoming calls have no ring volume. Of course, I have checked the volume settings and have the ringtone & notifications volume slider wide open. I have changed ringtones, adjusted every sound and volume setting on the phone to no effect. I turned 'OK Google' off since I have read that in listening mode, OK Google can impact speaker output. Nothing had any effect. I have searched across the internet and haven't found any answer and no one mentioning this issue with the Z3c.
I did find that the exact same issue happened with the Z1 and Z1c when they got the KitKat update in early 2014 (http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-fix-coming-xperia-kitkat-audio-bug ) but i don't find any resolution discussed so I expect that Sony fixed that with an update.
My next step is a hard reset but I can't do that before the weekend so I thought I would throw this out to see if anyone else has the issue or - better yet - a solution.
One thing I am going to try is the stereo sound mod for the Z2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/z2-stereo-sound-mod-incoming-calls-t2921840 ) if the hard reset doesn't work.
EDIT: 10/30/14 - I continued to try different things with the no-ring-volume issue. I took the time today and did a factory reset including erasing internal storage but that didn't help. In addition to what I described above I found the following:
- on an incoming call, the speakerphone does not work. If I turn on speakerphone, the caller can hear me but I cannot hear them. If I turn off speakerphone, everything is fine (I hear the caller in the earpiece, they hear me).
- I have LED set to off so it should not come on except for charging. But it flashes - fast and bright white - on an incoming call. This may not be part of the issue but I have never seen it flash before on incoming call. Maybe I notice it now since I have been staring at my phone while making dozens of calls to myself from another phone to figure this out.
- External speakers do work fine, I can play music, video, etc. and it all sounds fine.
So...any ideas?
I would try setting it back to a default ringtone. It may be having an issue with the one you are using. This is assuming your issuing a custom ringtone.
CollinsJ - Thanks for the response but I have tried many of the ringtones, including the default. I was actually using the default ringtone when the problem started. I am going to edit the original post to include a few more things I learned today related to this problem.
Maybe it's time to take it in for repair.
I have the same problem with my Z3, did you find a solution for that??
z3 sound
Same here. i downgraded to kitkat, no effect.
on sony forum there is a ton of people with this issue.
I got Z3 dual, incoming ringtone volume is terrible and speakerphone volume is lower than speaker for ear.
I rooted but i found no patch to fix it.
Viper4Android doesnt help
Any ideas?
Hi,
I have a Z1 which had similar problem, phone would not ring when there was an incoming call. Tried setting to default ringtone, which didn't work.
The second thing I tried was restart the phone in safe mode, and tested it, and got the incoming call ring. After that I restarted normally and it is now working. Don't exactly know what it did but it works now.
Press volume key up then choose sound. Sometimes it has been set to priority.
It worked for me!

Thank you. I restarted my phone in safe mode, like you said, and all works fine.
I have had my phone 2 years and yesterday it stopped ringing and the alarm doesn't ring either, help please
No ring sound volume on incoming call
hi Lynne rickaby, have you solved the F...k issue with the incoming sound tone?
I have an sony xperia z3+
I bought xperia st26i phone. incoming call appear, can answer, but ringing sounds not comes out. vibration also work. when i play a media file, it plays. but sound not come out. i successfully make the factory setting function also to settle it. but all my effort going vain. how to solve it. please help me
My call volume is really low via earpiece and speakerphone. Sometimes it's not, but the majority of times it is. If I use Google Hangouts on Wifi or LTE I don't have any problems at all. I've already swapped this phone out once, so I do not believe it is the phone. I may be wrong.
Hey All,
Does anyone else have an issue while during a phone call if you witch to speakerphone the volume stays low?
It gets barely louder when I flip it off handset volume to speaker. This didn't always happen, maybe over the past month or 2. I've got all updates, I've reset the phone, not sure if it does it in the middle of a call of if it happens right away as I mostly notice it when I set my phone down mid call and flip to speaker ... I crank the volume, the speaker does change but it's very quiet.
At a loss on what to do here, I've gone through all the volume settings while on call and nothing makes it louder when on speaker so unfortunately end up flipping back to in call so I can hear the other person.
