Noise-cancelling feature makes other people can't hear me. - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there XDA members!
I've recently received brand new Z3 Compact from warranty. Previous one died underwater
It's on the newest firmware currently avaible - 23.0.1.A.5.77.
Issue I'm experiencing is if I enable noise-cancelling feature in settings my voice is almost impossible to understand.
Tried service tests for 2md mic and the voice is recorded stable yet quite in low frequencies - bassline like
If anyone had similiar issues?
Please check do you have the option enabled since this FW disables it on default so you might not had chance to check it out.
Cheers!

I just verified and the noise suppression is working as expected on my device.

Damn, just saw this after my post - as I was searching for suppression but spelling it wrong!
My wife's phone is having this issue, but only since the lollipop upgrade. She never had any issues, she upgraded and suddenly sound is quiet and in and out (digital break up).
I turned off noise suppression on her phone, and suddenly I can hear.

Phonecalls keep cutting out during mid call.and people complain they cant hear me

Hi
Had the kaiser 3 months now..had the initial prob with the speaker phone...where people just couldnt hear me..now this..
I know its the phone has tried my chip in my old phone and no problems.
everytime I make a call the other people say that my voice is cutting out and coming back in..sometimes the phone call just cuts off and i have to call back..
anybody here having the same probs with Kaiser/wario III etc.??????

This could be a hardware, software issue. Without checking we cannot tell. Hopefully it's either software or the "banswitching" issue. If it is a new thing that has just started then a hard reset may solve the problem.
Many folks with newer phones in areas where different available phone bands are present, report dropped calls as the phone seeks to change to the strongest signal.
See this thread (one of many) that mentions the problem) also note the Bandswitch application that lets you fix the phone to one band to avoid the problem:

I presume you've tried turning off Microphone AGC (Automatic Gain Control) if it was enabled and you're using the speakerphone?

In call sound problem

I have in call sound problems.
When I reboot I can sometimes place one call without problems for as long as I want.
Other calls after that I have no sound, can't hear the call tone and other parties can't hear me.
Also incoming calls, i hear the phone ring but when i answer the other party can't hear me and i can't hear the other party.
The settings for sounds in the accessibility menu and noise reduction etc were off and stayed off. (other forum tips)
I also tried numerous factory resets with no avail
Can someone give me a hint how to fix it?
I have stock 4.2.2 International version of the S4 Active.
Baseband I9295XXUBMK2
Build JDQ39.I9295XXUBMK2
Kernel 3.4.0-2015525
Headset
I tried a different option. I can call with my bluetooth headset.
When i switch to speaker the in call sound drops. giong back to headset will not activate in call sound.
Same Here
The same happens to me. Only the bluetooth option works every time. I have tried several firmware and kernel versions and nothing has changed.
There is a workaround that I could find but it is totally impractical: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2371034
In forums for models / ROMs with a lot more users than this one (Nexus / CM) people with 4.2.2-based firmware versions there are many posts describing what could seems to be the exact same problem, which they have been able to fix via baseband updates or custom patches, but that does not really seems to be an option for the S4 Active...

Same problem with my SGS4A. I was on i9295XXUBMK2, tried to update using the phone update option, which rendered my phone unusable. Flashed new stock ROM i9295XXUBMK3, now I can use the phone, although sound problem persists.
Making a call: reboot, call
Receiving a call: answer, hang-up, reboot, call back
Anyone with 4.3 that has this problem on SGS3, SGS4 or SGS4A?
Edit 21.8.2014
I had the speaker changed last week and so far no problems. I am slowly getting confident that I can rely on S4A as a phone also, not just tiny surf tablet.
I have same phone, never got this pb. However I got some SD card issues after updating to KitKat...
Partial solution... for me at least
Hi guys ,
having same issue, disabling 4G option solves my problem. But it-s impractic cause I want to use the 4g... in a huawei phone I solved same issue by disabling an option of "mobile data always on"
Don't know how it's related...
Same issue for me. I made lots of research with no results. Nobody knows...
same problem here with no solution yet

same problem with in call and out call .... searched a lot about solution and no solution yet
I had a similar issue with bluetooth calls. First call would be fine, but after that I couldn't hear the other person on the line and they couldn't hear me. It turned out to be some kind of incompatibility with the Google "OK Google" detection with Galaxy S4-based phones. If I disabled it from detecting "From any screen", this seemed to correct the problem. However the setting might return on application updates. I would recommend trying that and see if it makes a difference. If it's not that, then I don't really know how to help you. I moved on from that phone over a year ago and have been happier ever since.

Microphone problem while calling

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

Note5 - Poor Call quality

I got a Note 5 (locked to a local provider). After two weeks of usage, I am experiencing a few issues. These are:
- The voice quality (during calls only) at my end is not great. Its kind of heavy as if the speaker is blocked with something. Note: The audio quality when playing songs is satisfactory.
- On some occasions when I make a call, the call goes through but the person at the other end wont hear me but I can hear him. I have to disconnect and dial back.
- Camera laggy. I have clicked around 500 pictures in about 2 weeks.
I am a bit confused that it is a provider related issue or a device issue. It will be great if forum members can provide me some pointers and help me fix these issues.
Note: The device is with Telus (in Canada) running android 5.1.1

Question BUG - Video calls with children - is it a noise?

I wanted to bring out a very serious bug that google hasn't managed to fix yet.
Have you ever tried to make video calls with your children (meet, whatsapp...)? how do they hear their voice?
I'll answer you, they feel terrible. it is probable that the voice is detected as a "noise" even though all the noise management in the mobile phone is deactivated.
There is also a lot of feedback sent to support, like the following but still have not resolved
Why doesn't my son's voice does not come through on Meet? - Google Pixel Community
Is it normal that after all this time the problem still hasn't been solved?
