So i going to go straight to the point.For a couple of days i noticed that when somebody calls me and the phone is in my pocket or with the face down only the lower speaker is working(ringing) and when is on the table/birou face up the both speakers are ringing.So i tested all the ways and i noticed that when i cover with my finger the proxymity/light sensor thats when only one speaker is ringing(the bottom one).I've tested all the sensors and all off them are working flowless.I assume its a bug,I'm on stock android 4.3 cid tmob-101.
Please help me cose im getting very angry when i down hear a call.
PS:even the update to 4.4.2 is not showing up already and that is a problem.

i think you need to re-flash your ROM,
if not, it was be a Hardware issue

Hello there xda!
I have had this problem with my galaxy S for quite some time now but since I still haven't found a solution I turn to you!
Here´s the thing, whenever I make or receive a call on my phone the screen blacks out. It stays black until I yank out the battery.
Sometimes the screen comes back when the call ends but this is more the exception rather than the rule.
If I got my headphones/headset in, the screen does not go black, so I try to always have them plugged in.
My thoughts are that something is wrong with the proximitysensor in the phone and is blacking out the screen, I got an app that show all sensors and the values didn't change when I covered the sensor.
I have rooted my phone several times with different roms so when this problem occured I tried all kinds of different roms to see if it would fix the problem.
No stock roms or other roms have worked so I assume its a hardware fail but for whatever reason I cant help but think that its more likely to be a software issue.
I am currently running darkys 10.2.2 rom.
If you got any questions that could help you come up with an answer, don't hesitate to ask
EDIT, Solution!
For anyone with the same problem, I FIXED IT!
I ordered a new earpiece on the internetz, installed it and now the phone works perfectly!!
The earpiece actually has both the headphone jack and the proximity sensor and the light sensor on it, so replacing the earpiece replaces all of those.
Hope this helps someone!
Hey dude, i dont know how you can fix the proxmity sensor if it is broken,
however, i have heard of other people with the same problem.
And they solved it with an app called ProximityScreenOff wich is downloadable form market.
atleast you wont have to yank out your battery everytime you get an call!
Hope this helps!

Tried some different settings but couldnt get it to work.. Screen still shut off during calls
Thanks for the try though! Might have to order a new proximity sensor and see if it fixes it

LOL, i was just ABOUT to post this EXACT same solution then read your post. I had the same problem and other problems that wererelated to the network, dropped calls, black screen after calls begins etc. and installing an earpiece from an T959's took care EVERYTHING. I'm not sure how this earpiece fixed the network problem. If somebody knows and would like to enlighten me, that's be great!
When i activate speakerphone during a Call suddenly the mic volume drops dramatically, other persons could barely hear me.
Do you guys suffer similar conditions ?... I am not sure to return it or not, as the mic work perfectly if speaker is not activated.
Created this thread just to find out how many Note owners are having similar issues..If this is a software issue everyone of us on latest firmware should be having this issue. Otherwise I might need to send it to repair center..

yes I do. it wasn't like that when I bought the phone so I suspect the ICS update has broken it.

Are you on latest firmware? I didn't had this since I updated to latest one. Running stock 4.0.4 ICS right now.

I've updated to 4.0.4 (stock over the air update) and I still have the issue. I read somewhere that the galaxy note has 2 mics one at the bottom which is used when in normal phone mode and one at the top which is used when in speakerphone mode. I think the one at the top is faulty (given there are not many search hits for it on google I'd guess the problem is hardware and not firmware related).
Hi i'm using a rooted htc one and people often complain they cant hear me during calls. I was wondering if there was anyway I could enhance the microphone so that my voice is louder. I'm using android 4.1.2 and sense 5. The case i'm using has a hole on the back in the top right corner and on the bottom to the left of the usb adapter jack where I think the microphone(s) are. I looked at other threads but I was having this problem before I rooted my htc one and was hoping that now it has been rooted there was some sort of hiden control I can use to turn up the michrophone setting. Thanks

If it wasn't working right before you rooted it, then it means it is a hardware problem. I don't think this is necessarily a sensitivity issue. I think it has to do with the noise canceling.
Talk to HTC or whatever carrier you have.
Also, make sure to hide all signs of root!
Hej layzz, there is a thread with a similar problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380867
Just as I mentioned there, it could be the hole at the underside of your case being just way to small, or (as I realized just recently) a very special hardware problem (so to say). During calls I had always covered the mic with my little finger, no wonder no one understood me.
Give it a shot

The mic hole at the bottom of the device is clearly visible. Would you mind posting a link to that rom please?

This ROM is based on 4.2.2 on 2.24 all my problems are pretty much fixed
I have this very same problem on my brand new stock device. I created a thread for the same problem. I found that the earpiece quality was brilliant but again people could not hear me or said I was very quite. I experimented with case on and case of and calls to different phones and 9/10 times the problem was there. I then decided to install android revolution hd to see if there was a problem with the stock rim for some reason. Sadly this didn't work. I then turned my attention to the lower microphone. Now I am not suggestion you do this by any means however in my case I felt I had nothing to lose as I was going to have to send the phone to HTC to get fixed if I could not sort it myself.
I got the small sim removal tool and stuck it into the mic hole in a bid to try and open the hole up abit as it seemed very small and I wondered also if it was blocked. I did this a little at a time and then tried calling people to see if there was any change. Instantly there was an improvement. However, now it seemed like 5\10 calls were low. So, I tried the same again.
I now have not had the problem in the last 15 or so calls I have made however what I have noticed is that now for what ever reason when I'm in calls the person on the other end sounds a little distorted through the earpiece. Don't know why this should be and maybe a completely unrelated problem or something linked to installing the other rom. Either way at least people can hear me now.

Thanks everyone. The problem seems to be fixed after installing that custom rom
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.establish a call
2.with the phone near your face, the screen turns off and you cannot hear the other party
3.move the phone away from your face, the screen turns on and you can now hear the other party
4.turn off the screen and you cannot hear the other party
i'm not going to ask for info on rom or kernel as i'm quite sure it's a hw problem

Its not related by the rom...I installed lot of diferrent roms and nothing happened,actually cannot hear people while calling, they can hear me...when i put on spikerphone everything is ok.
I wish we could replace your faulty ear-speaker with words but we cant "yet?"
Faulty hardware as already Rudjgaard said.
I've got a problem with calls. On stock ROMs and Paranoid Android, with every kerenels.
Sometimes I can't hear the person with who I'm talking but only on "normal mode". When I activate loudspeaker or plug in headphones I can hear without problems but after deactivating or plugging out the problem comes back and I can't hear anything. This occurs not always but very often.
Can someone helps?
I had this issue you may want to check with other people around here who are running cyanogenmod as far as I know mine was spoiled so I had to change it no idea if it was cause by cyanogenmod highly doubt it
I have the same issue! I actually had it when I was running OEM software, before rooting I sent it in to sony with the complaint 3 times. Each time they returned it with simply a software update applied.
I find if you cover and uncover the light sensor a couple of times it tends to fix itself, but its frustrating!
Yes, very frustrating! But this must be a software defect.
Maybe someone could make a fix...
Any help?
I highly doubt that it is a software defect issue but if it is a really software defect issue causing the ear speaker to fail then sony has some explaining to do nevertheless some of them reported the same issue with cyanogenmod 11.0 so honestly I dont know what is causing this but overall it seems like quite a big issue..

did you amplify the speaker or did anything to it, in the past etc ? like fauxsound
if you never did did you remain on stock kernel with cm11 all the way
Yes. I used some mods like pxa, but without any mods and with the problem exists

yeah it is damaged how long did you have your xperia z cause I had mine for 1 year 3 months before it died today it works fine.
huh? so what is causing this? sound-mods or just bad luck? had my xperia z 1 year 4 months and so far its ok... (*touch wood*) will be gutted if it dies...
must be sound mod blow out the speaker o.o no idea but I got mine fully replaced.
I had the same Problem. After installing Sound About from playstore and disabled headphone detection the Problem is gone
haha it isn't the old 'dust in the headphone socket' problem is it?
