My previous phone was a Nexus S and I often used to dictate text messages (my phone typing is excrutiatingly slooow) and 95% of the time I didn't have to edit any of the text.
Just tried dictating a text on my XZ and the text is repeatedly misquoted, every time, barely one word in a sentence of a dozen is correct, is this because of poor microphone pickup?
I've tried various distances between my mouth and phone, speaking faster or slower, just can't get it to work
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?
p.s. everything else about the phone is tickety boo
Amazed this post had so many views but no comments, similar or polar
Just for the record, I turned off the microphone noise suppression and the prob seems to be cured
( I dictated this post ) but stranger is that I restored the Mic noise suppression and the voice recognition still works cleanly

I have a complaint regarding microphone quality as well. Coming from the iPhone I commonly would send short audio clips to people, mostly via whatapp. I produce house music so occasionally I'd send little blurbs of my music, etc. Now I wouldn't ever expect the audio that was recorded to sound amazing but the iPhone would do the job and do it well. Audio was actually very clear and crisp.
I just tried this for the first time with my new Sony Xperia Z and I gotta say the quality of the recorded audio is so terrible, some clips you can't even decipher what you are listening to! Even my voice when sending verbal messages, the quality is horrendous.
Has anyone else experienced this? If not could some of you give it a try and listen to your own recordings and report back here. I'm curious if it's a Sony Z issue or just specifically my phone.
I'd appreciate it.
PS - having said all that, using the voice function on the keyboard to dictate text for typing or for use with online searches, Maluuba app for calendar reminders, etc all work great with no problems and excellent understanding of what I am speaking.
I dictate entire emails using voice recognition. Works brilliantly.

Thanks but doesn't really help, as stated in my post, voice to text works great. The problem is using the microphone for recording/playback.
What app are you using to record audio?
There's a few on the play store that allow you to change gain levels that might help.
Anyone tried using a wired Mic yet?
There's some code about it in the kernel but it's not clear code, and I can't work out whether it's just for the online Mic on a headset or a standalone Mic.

Been experiencing the bad quality when using both the built in audio recorder (one you get when selecting the multi task window and get the quick access apps) and WhatsApp.

And just to add, on the other hand when recording video, the audio is crystal clear.

I can't even use this phone because of this. Skyping is impossible. SCREW YOU SONY SCREW YOU!
Hi guys,
I am facing trouble while using a head set with my phone for making calls. The person at the other end is hearing noises and distortions making the call quality really poor and making the headset useless. I tried with many headsets but its it till there. Without the head set the call quality is pretty fine.
The odd thing is that while doing voice calls through Skype, this issue does not pop up.
I am using 16gb s advance running stock JB android. Does anyone else face this issue?
Thanks.

I was using headset that I got from the phone, white one. And I did not have any problems before. On stock, did not try it on CM ROMs.

Then it must be a hardware problem (not sure why skype calls works fine though ). Will get it checked out by Samsung guys. Thanks

Hi,
Is anyone else having troubles making hangout calls? I can connect to a hangout, though I can not hear anything, nor my partners can hear me.

Hi guys,
I sold my iPhone 6 and I bought the Oneplus3t a week ago. With this new phone, the other side cannot hear my voice when their voice is on speaker. I'm guessing the issue is with noise canceling or something like that. This happens with normal phone calls and the ones using Wifi such as Whatsapp and Skype. An issue like this related to the most primitive function of a phone makes me regret my purchase.
Could someone confirm the fact that I'm totally screwed by this Chinese company? At least, I'll have peace of mind and will never get near this type of junk.
