I bought my ONE from amazon.de and,after 2 months, I cracked the screen:crying: .I called htc and they sent me to the official service in my country(Romania). The guys there replaced my htc one (to my big and pleasant surprise) with a new one.I updated it to 4.2.2, but I got some complaints about my voice not being heard loud enough on this new phone.I don't seem to rememeber to have had this on the original one.....
Is it the mic?Or something to do with the network?Anyone elese having similar problems with the microphone during calls?
P.S. By the way,does anybody know how to enable/disable noise cancelation on this phone?
What I've noticed is that my calls aren't as clear as on my Galaxy S3, not sure if noise cancellation is doing too much, but my calls are definitely more "muffled", in fact I almost always have to use my headset to hear people loud and clear. Loudspeaker mode works fine though

Yes, I know about that,that is why I wanted to buy the phone as quick as possible, probably the first one,which I bought in april,was from the first batches,with that mic in it,and this one is not.But,stil,this doesn't explain the low volume....
I mean,I did a test: I put on a song on my ipad3 in a quiet room at about a quarter of the full volume and opened shazam on my htc one and got at about 1-1,5 meters away from the tablet. To my surprise,the mic recorded the sound and shazam recognized the song!!After this little experiment,my conclusion is that the mic is working ok,but,during the calls something is a little wrong!

yeah,you're right,it's like the person on the other phone is there,speaking in your ear!
But what about your voice,do you have problems making yourself heard to the other person?!
Hello ,
I have bought a Z1 recently and came to know that the loudspeaker volume is lower than its predecessors. I saw the speaker grill , though its wider only one half of the area works. What does this mean? The volume coming out is a mono channel? Or can we expect sony to deliver an update to enable the other speaker if it exists!!. But i think there is another speaker which is not enabled !
Anyone else observed this? Or i just got a faulty piece :crying:

One thing to mention is that the efficiency or the loudness of the phone is limited because of the waterproofing, it does not let sound escape as well as other phones.

Mine is way louder than my Xperia z , speaker placement is also better I don't constantly cover the speaker when watching a youtube video. My xperia Z was probably the worst speaker I have ever had, couldn't hear S**T. As mentioned the waterproofing will affect it a bit but it is much improved over it predecessor IMO
Hey there!
I have recently purchased a new Z3C and think it is indeed a really great phone. However, one thing that really bugs me is a constant and very noticable static noise during calls and only perceivable when using the earpice, not e.g. headphones. You can hear it all the time, especially when pausing the conversation.
Thisis the second device I have that happen, so I would really be interested if everyone else's sound via earphone is clear or if a bit of static is normal. Am I being paranoid?
I switched off all the options for "optimization" in the call settings, btw.
Cheers

Hi,
I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy. First i thought i got a phone with failure so i send it to the repair service but they were convincing me that it's normal. I couldn't belive such a thing can be normal so i insisted on a phone replacement. After writing mails directly to Sony, replacement was approved but guess what - replacement phone had the same issue. I also checked couple of phones in shops and you could hear static noice in earspeaker on all of them. However some people on forums say they can't hear anything so i'm still not sure if this problem exists only in some series. I googled much on this subject and found that Sony had many issues with audio/speaker/volume in previous Z models but it seems it was solved with firmwares. However i believe this is a hardware problem of earspeaker they use. I even found u can order a new one on ebay. All in all, as you said phone is great but this thing is annoying as hell. I tried many other brands to see if they have any sound noise and i can't hear anything. Sad story
Regards,
Nino

Quick reaction to other ppl. Ppl are deaf!
Now not so hot blooded . Happened to me many times. I have (thank God) still good hearing.
Most of the ppl I know do not care, get used or even do no hear this sound, OR are not able to distinguish it.
So even if they tell you, they do not hear it, till you can use their phone and test it next to your, that means nothing....
(This is not my first phone where I can hear something that 99 percent ppl cant hear, even on mine... luckily there is few that can so I know I am not going crazy )
Now the second point is to prove it and if it really is not just how the phone should sound.
Anyways what I tried and made me nervous was the service tests in the Service Menu *#*#7378423#*#*
All of these Primary Mic , Secondary Mic and Earphone tests sound horrible .
Serious crackling, buzzing on the Mics and Earphone, like I am used to from the Phone Call , static noise...
Funny thing however, ppl say they can hear me good and the video records also with good quality. So I do not understand how both of the mics sound so incredibly bad in the test. Well they both go through the same Earphone where I have the static noise, so the earphone could really be faulty, but I never hear the crackling, buzzing cut ofs in the call...
Update: Seems to be normal
Just an update:
I have checked another two devices, different mobile providers as well, and all of them had the same static when using the earphone. No such static when using a headset, though. It seems to be normal. I have checked my old (Xperia P) and there's static as well, although less noticeable due to a weaker/more quiet earpiece.
I also have decided to just go with it, since you can understand everything loud and clear and every other aspect of the Z3C is just that good.
Thanks for reporting everybody. I, too, thought I was going a bit crazy! Enjoy your devices everybody :good::good::good:

Buddy can you go to a bathroom, or somewhere without much sound. And try the Service Menu Tests.
*#*#7378423#*#* in dialer. ?
And test the Primary Mic, Secondary Mic , Earphone.

No proplem
I am nowhere nearly silent enough to check it, but will do when I come home this afternoon. Will report back ASAP!
I'd also like to hear your results. I was about to get myself one of these phones today as they are a good price at the moment. But having a constant noise in the background on calls would bug the heck out of me! I don't want to have to use a headset, hate em. I can deal with some problems as ANY phone you buy these days has some problem, there is no perfect phone out there. I'm currently browsing the web and XDA for problems associated with the Z3 Compact, but so far this is a biggy for me, that and maybe the purple/pink hue on the camera in some pictures.
How loud are these noises in comparison to the volume of the person on the other end of a call?

In my case, I can hear the person clearly, still with some hissing. Only in silent passages it becomes really "visible".
Interesting enough I just tried something . I put the headset in a different way on my ear....
I think what I am getting is the effect of when you put your hand on your ear, seashell stuff noise ...
There is a definite hissing, static noise but becomes less apparent depending on the placement of the headset without loosing the quality of the voice, or loudness.

I do not think I will be ever satisfied with any phone I had.... I found issues on all of them...
Till now no. I tried the sound recorder from sony, the sound came out ok. Video also seemed ok.
So if there is an issue, is most probably with the Earphone. But as was said in another threads, other phones have this also, to which extent depends on many factors...
To answer. Not yet . I have it only for a week. Will see how much I get used to it.

I also kept the phone but i find this thing very annoying. Few days ago i talked on a phone in a silent office room and it really sucks, u constantly hear sshhhhh.. Static noise is just too loud. I tried other brands like iphone, my old Nokia, samsung and there was absolutly no noise. I even tried Sony Xperia Z1 from friend and it is also noise free. I would buy earspeaker on ebay and replace current one only if i'd knew that will solve the problem.

The static noise does not interfere with the clarity of the received voice. You can hear the caller loud and clear. You will notice the static noise more as the ambient sound around you decreases. I for one have noticed, that I also tend to somehow ignore the static noise a couple of seconds in on a call.

@PAGOT I have tested everything you said and, besides said static noise, I could reproduce the issues you reported with the primary and secondary microphones: a very underwhelming performance of both of the microphones. Cracking, static sound. None of the possible options in the calls settings menu changed anything for the better or worse.
Strangely enough, the sound quality of my calls have been reported to be loud and clear. I also tried Sony's audio recorder, with flawless results Makes no sense.

After the new tests I was being confused, again. But, as both of you already put forth, no phone is perfect and I will stay with the Z3C because of the nice features of the device along its very competetive price. I love to forget about charging my phone regardless of heavy usage all day long. The phone stays. Everybody responding here did a great job sharing their experiences! Good work:good:

Yeah, well my wife has an iPhone 5s and also that thing is silent... no noise...
Am currently factory resetting as that will be the first thing they gonna ask me if I did ... I think I will send it to repair.
Even if this an sw issue or new one will have it too, till somebody/enough ppl complain I doubt they will fix it.

I already passed all procedure with repair service couple of months ago, and it was not a very nice experience. The worst thing was that guy in repair service tried to make a fool out of me, like "nothing is wrong with this phone, i don't hear any noise". I mean come on, all people i asked to listen the sound heard noise, and he pretends not to hear anything. However i insisted on repair and then agony begon. After a couple of days they returned me phone with explanation that they made software adjusments and that all is fine now. Yeah sure.. it was the same ofc. I didn't take the phone but insisted on repair again. After a couple of days they said that they replaced earspeaker and that all is fine now. Yeah sure... same thing again. Then they said that they can't do anything more while guys in repair service were looking me like "again this crazy man" and made stupid jokes like "you can leave the phone here if it's not good for you". Total idiots. That really pissed me off and i contacted local Sony support in my country (Croatia, Europe). After exchanging 2 mails with them, explaining what is going on, they agreed to give me replacement phone. Unfortunately new phone had a same issue so i'm now stuck with it. I hope you will not have all this trouble but now you know what can you expect. I also wrote about this at: talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Z3-Dual/static-noise-on-xperia-z3-speaker/m-p/924466/highlight/false

Can totally understand that ... was more times in a situation like this ...
A safe bet is to argue with the Service Menu tests. Microphone and Secondary Microphone and Earphone and also Stereo Speaker.
Microphones sound both bad...crackling, buzzing, static
Earphone - static noise.
Stereo Speaker - upper one is on and down one is hissing.
They can't argue with that... no matter how much they try... and its their test ...
No matter how much they want ...
(You do not have to tell them , that ppl can hear you nicely , or that video/audio recordings sound better)
Kinda thinking that this is might be a software issue? Heard theories about artificially adding some tone/noise to the call, so you know you are on call or whatever. So the filters or whatever might be set wrong. Or do we really think they would use a bad quality product?
Btw the guys over at CM or other ROMS do not have a fix for this?

On some forum someone mentioned that it could be software gain/ loudness problem. It sounds like someone turned speaker volume up to 200% so static noise is so loud but in the same time voice/music sound is on normal level. As i said in one of mine previous posts, Sony had problems with audio in some previous Z models too and they solved it with firmware update. Hope they will do something with this too - if it's not a hardware problem. Would be nice to have someone from Sony to comment this.
If you do ever find a solution for this or Sony release a fix please let us know. I'm going to hold out on buying a new phone for the time being and put up with my old Galaxy S2 in the hope something happens between now and then. I'm starting to lean towards a Galaxy S5, but I really like what Z3C has to offer, just not the static...
*Fingers crossed* and best of luck!

Right now the support said, they are not getting complaints about this device in regards of noise....
I have recently got my hands on mi mix from hongkong. Sold to me by a dealer in dubai. I love this phone. Out of the world looks but earpiece volume is too low and becomes lower with case on. It's too fragile to be used without case. I tried calling xiaomi customer care uae. Tbey gave me the bad news that it has no warranty and further said it doesn't seem to be hardware issue. I was too eager to get this phone so i got the china rom version. Will changing to eu rom will help. Is there any beta global rom?
Any suggestions, what shall i do?
Hi. I'm in dubai as well and got mine couple weeks ago. Love it so far.
I have tried all the roms and eu is the latest one I'm running at the moment.
The earpiece takes some time getting used to.

Some think it is low, some normal. Might be personal preference or cases used.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge using XDA Labs
The sound is normal, is good.
I wear hearing aids and normally prefer a bluetooth headset for better volume levels. That said, the volume and clarity of the Mix headset speaker is as good, if not better, than my samsungs, Mi Max (sold) or Phab 2 Pro (returned after a week). In fact, without my hearing aids the volume and clarity are quite good. Over the past 6 years I have rooted each of my samsung phones (s2 and notes 1 through 5) specifically so I could edit the appropriate file (mm is mixer_paths in system/ect) to increase the volume. No need (for me) with my Mix. I'm very happy with this device.
I've moved the phone around, and while there may be some difference listening to the middle vs edge of the phone, I find either satisfying and clear.
Call quality and volume was one of my biggest concerns after reading some of the reviews and was one the main things i checked prior to buying. I was pleasantly surprised the call volume quality was pretty pretty good, no real complaints. Very pleased.
It's low & gets lower with the case.
I understand why. Because of the speaker-less technology they used.
Got my XZ2 like a week ago I'm overall very satisfied with the phone with two exceptions. The first one is the camera, it's either a camera that's very bad for a phone of this price or I just can't take good pictures with it. But I can live with that, I rarely use that either way. But the second problem is that the ear speaker buzzes at low frequencies and it's irritating. I've tested it and it seems to buzz at somewhere around 90-250Hz. I'd like to hear some opinions on how to troubleshoot this and if there are others having the same problem(s).
There must be something wrong with your unit.
The camera in mine are the best of all xperias i had so far.
The only issue with the sound i have are with wireless inear i got then i bought the phone.

Here are some pictures taken at night. To be honest I havent been paying attention to my older phones' cameras because they were quite mid range (N5X and stuff) and maybe I have had some high expectations about this phone I don't know, can you compare this pics with the ones you have taken and tell me if there's a difference or no?
Hi,
I also had tinny distortion through the ear speaker on calls. Amazon sent a replacement and it had a loose volume rocker. They then sent a second replacement and it has distortion at different frequency when notification sounds are played through top speaker. Not noticed any issues with any of them when playing music/videos. Amazon wants me to return all the phones and give me a refund which isn't ideal as I've bought several cases and a wireless charger. I just want a working device

Thanks for your reply. I'm not an expert when it comes to audio testing and frequencies. What should be expected from working speakers? Should there be no distortion/crackling at all when playing that frequency test video?

That's good news that all XZ2's do not have this issue!
Could I ask you to play the video that Haldi4803 posted above and confirm if you have any distortion/crackling through the top speaker with volume set to max? For me it happens somewhere between 100hz - 200hz.
Though the issue occurred at different frequencies on all 3 devices Amazon sent me.
After 3 faulty handsets from Amazon I'm now having to get a refund and considering purchasing from another retailer.
Thanks

Thanks

I already tested it and use my phone for calls.
My device is a H8296 Rev2. 6GB RAM :silly:
I have only these touch bugs.
If I write fast, sometimes it doesn't recognize a touch on a letter or think, I would swipe between two touch points.

Thanks!
Maybe I've just been unlucky. I have sent all three faulty handsets back to Amazon and have ordered one from another retailer.
My model was H8216 single sim. Didn't have any touch issues just the top speaker.
Cheers.

So I have received my 4th device from another retailer and it doesn't have the problem with the ear speaker.
It is a H8216 Rev 3, the three devices from Amazon were Rev 2's.
The only annoyance is it has a rattle in the back panel when you lay it down on a surface. You can hear the rattle clearly when tapping the bottom left corner of the phone with the screen facing you.
It has been reported here
Anyone else noticed this with their device?
Thanks

H8296 Rev 2
No rattle.
Only this weird touch behaviour, while writing fast.
H8216 Rev 3 here, and I have no rattles or anything wrong tbh...though 2 days after getting it all the hard buttons stopped working and I had to let the phone go flat, after the power up, it was fine.

Thanks for the replies both. Not sure whether to get yet another replacement. I didn't think the rattle was that noticeable at first but tapping on the the bottom left corner reproduces it and now very prominent when laying it down. Sounds a bit like a cable that's lying loose against the inside of the glass back panel
Weird, but it does it when tapping top right bezel as well but not top left or bottom right.

So my phone is over a week old and I noticed this issue. It's very feint however present. Ear speaker problem. What's the TLDR? Send it back or keep it?
