Call comes through speaker!!

Hi All,
Since the past two days, whenever someone calls and I pick up the phone, the sound comes through the speaker, i.e. very high. I have to reduce that sound using the volume buttoms. This happens with only a few calls, not all. I have a screen protector on the phone, as usual.
I have restarted, reset, etc. to no success.
Can anyone suggest what the problem is?
Thanks

Are you using any sound mod?

I have done that yesterday as well. No luck. The problem still persists.

mine is like that as well. i can hear it even in the back of the phone... I checked clearsound and uncheck xloud and it got a little better but i still need to turn down the volume to people not listen to my conversation :x

when you state "speaker" you are referring to the speaker on the bottom right?
or do you mean the vibration through the back (near the camera area)?
edit: just did a test, it feels like its coming out from the speaker speaker but its not, the sound feels like its actually coming from the near back. I guess its not sealed tightly or just xperia z has really good loud earphone speaker.

No i was talking about the call speaker. Sry if i misunderstood

Headphone loudness??

Anyway to increase the sound when using headphones, without rooting or modding my phone? They seem to be really quiet even when cranked up to the full.

Without those things, nope.
I find it hurting loud on headphones though when volume is on max.

So is it possible with rooting or modding?
Maybe I'm just going deaf!

Even without rooted or modded, my headphone is still loud enough.

Uncompatible ear phones!
Same with LG headphones but when I press and hold mic button on the earphone sound turns fine!
Better to change earphone , you can't hold button forever!

Earpiece replacement with loudspeaker

Is it possible when I buy the same loudspeaker from z1 from ebay and remove the earpiece speaker and build in the loudspeaker? So I have two loudspeakers same quality same loudness and better stereo effect is that possible?, or it will conflict with the system, I mean speaker is speaker am I right? So there must be no problem but just to be secure asking if that is possible

Im no expert here but even if you can do so, the replaced one will be front facing and the one down there will be down facing. /_\
Z1 is still Z1. Sad to tell.
The original speaker isn't very good anyway.
Haha Ofcoz it'll be good if you can make both speaker front facing

From my guess, the earpiece speakers would also have different specifications like power and impedance. You might blow it if the power doesn't match. I mean the earpiece might not just be limited by it's size, but also the lack of a dedicated amp to drive it.

Maybe volume output can be controlled by kernel

but nexus 4 did the job they replaced the loudspeaker with a more powerful loudspeaker (modded) ordered from ebay so why not the earpiece,

so it means the earpiece can be as good as the loudspeaker when it have more power (voltage)? It will use battery aswell I guess

[Q] Speaker rattles at high volume

Is it possible that the internal TF701 speaker is broken?
Once I set 60% volume, the speaker rattles and distorted sounds.
How can I test it? Ev. a CM11 problem?
I am not aware of when deterioration has occurred.

My best guess is that it has come a bit loose and the vibration from high volume levels makes it rattle

Now install stock firmware and have the same issue. All tones with higher volume have distortion.
Back to Asus Support (warranty)
Thanks for you effort.
