Skype issue on 5.1.1 - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for the new thread but I wasn't exactly getting any attention in the other threads where i asked for assistance.
Without earphones, skype calls work fine.
However, with earphones, the other party cannot hear me. I have tried the Echo test, which failed as well. But the echo test works without earphones. I can even record audio with the earphones but it doesn't work on skype. I have tried with two different earphones and yet the same result.
Do any of you guys have the same problem on 5.1.1? It was fine on 5.0.2.

Anyone? I could really use some help or some confirmation that it's a bug

I can confirm this. Headset microphone is not working with Skype. It should be noted that I did not do factory reset after 5.1.1, perhaps that will fix things?

Wow this is actually a huge issue. Maybe skype hasn't been updated to support 5.1.1 or something?
And no, i clean flashed too. Didn't make a difference. You will also notice that the mic stops working the moment you enable video on viber -_- i tried two different firmwares and still the same problem

I'm using Oovoo to make video calls for now but skype really is better. And oovoo is more costly in terms of internet usage

I can confirm this too. After 5.1.1 update on Z3C, I went mute on facebook messenger voice calls with headset.
I did the Xperia mic diagnostics, that went OK with headset, tried the echo123 on Skype with headset = no sound, without headset using the device mic, it was OK.
I tried several combinations of noise canceling / mic sensitivity settings with no success.
Luckily regular phone calls work with headset.
I bought recently Sony STH-30 headset to be sure it will work with Xperia phone.

UPDATE: I found a workaround, connecting headset AFTER establishing a call.
Please, confirm anyone if it works for you, thx

any update on this. Im experiencing the same thing would reverting to the Kitkat solve this? or any patch to fix this.

No fix. But you can try the methods in this thread. See if it works for you. Doesn't work for me >.> even the sony people over at talk.sonymobile.com are not saying anything to help
Sent from my D5833 using XDA Free mobile app

it worked for me. What I do is just let the other party answer me first (Skype) and then plug in the headset. But my question is how long will it be like this? my worries is I might destroy the headset plug. Would downgrading to kitkat solve it.

Yes downgrading works. Even 5.0.2 works. The issue lies with 5.1.1. Even plugging the headset afterwards doesn't seem to work for me. Absurd

I haven't tested that

any update on this problem??

It has been solved with the latest update from Sony. The .1.200 firmware which is the latest one available now. Also, this update dramatically improves battery life. Reminds me of kitkat.

[Q] Bluetooth Microphone and Skype/VOIP

I would like to use my Galaxy Tab 7 as a secondary phone using Skype/VOIP over 3G.
I have flashed the device with the Overcome 3.1 ROM and everything is working great except when I try and make Skype calls it uses the devices microphone instead of the Mic on the Bluetooth Headset.
I cant believe I am the only one who is having this issue. Anyone want to jump in on this? I would assume this is a MUST HAVE feature.
Try the app called "Super BT mono"

[Q] Music autoplay after call ended while using Bluetooth headset?!?!

Hi all,
Did anyone experience this? While using a bluetooth headset, after call ended, music will autoplay?
I'm using DELL BH200, and am on unrooted stock 2.3.6. No other music player installed, just the stock player.
Google around but unable to find a solution...
Anyway to disable this annoying autoplay?
Regards,
Silverbold17
Annoying autoplay?
You must be one of the few ones around who doesn't want this great feature.

Not that I don't want this feature, but auto play after every single call ended is really annoying...especially if you're using your BT headset for phone call purposes...

I had this problem with my Atrix and my Infuse. I use Bluetooth thru my truck stereo for all calls. I posted a request for help in the Atrix forums. Someone suggested using an app called Autorun Manager . I did not try it because I sold my Atrix soon after the request.
Hope this helps
Just my 2¢

Had seen this suggestion on other forum but it seems like Autorun Manager require ROOT access which I don't have on my stock 2.3.6...

[Q] Video calling

Hi. I've had my Z for nearly a week now and it's bloody brilliant!
One question though, there's no option to make video calls even though there is a front facing camera. I've googled this issue and found nothing helpful.
Anyone know why there is no video call function and if it can be added with a replacement dialer or something????
Any help appreciated, thanks.
That I don't know. I use Google Hangout or Skype though. That works fine.
Sorry but almost all android phones doesn't have video call over mobile network

AW: [Q] Video calling
I Used gtalk a few times, worked good, but troubles if both are speaking simultanuously. Didn't try hangout yet
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for replies. I had video call available on my last phone, Xperia Arc, although it was on a custom ROM it was still using the Sony home-screen app. Oh well, I'll find a way eventually...
Skype is great. Used with my Arc, and quality is impressive. And I used it over at&t 3G network, without a problem.
Voice quality is phenomenal!! Like being next door!! Better than using the phone as a phone.
Highly recommend Skype. Plus free Skype to Skype calls!!

Hi thintin,
Have you found a solution to your video call problem? I'm planning to buy Xperia Z, but I definitely need this feature.
I mean, video call via 3G or 4G network.

I get this too with some roms on the same headphones, not sure why.
It might be that bluetooth is not working correctly on your particular build.
You might want to post a bugreport with a logcat on the nightly thread.

not sure if plantronics model you are using has features similar to mine.
i have plantronics voyager pro hd which when connected via usb to pc with browser open to plantronics web site, it gets firmware updates and allows settings changes for the headset.
i used the plantronics web tool to turn off the features that control the headset behavior based on position of headset - it interfered with phone calls.

the only way i managed to fix it, was using AutomateIT. i created a new rule to disable bluetooth on calls and enable it as soon as the call ended. let me know if this helped you.

Thats a good fix! I didnt think of that. So im guessing your watch speakers dont work with phone calls neither? Is there a way to fix this so that it would work on the watch like it should? Thanks!
