Dear Developers,
In call mode speaker is on by default
I have this issue and quit sure it happens after the Latest 10.4.1.B.0.101 update, until this update my phone works really fine and smooth and now it is a serious issue because every time I get a call speaker is enabled and even if I disabled the speakers but it again automatically enabled during the call this happens regularly and it is really upset me, my girlfriends Xperia z phone has the same issue and it happens after the update, I need quick response from any of you to solve the issue, and I did clear that cash and data of the phone app as mentioned by Sony support form but issue is same, and I can't repair the phone via update services because it will delete my text messages/MMS from the phone, and as far I know It's like factory reset, need help on this
Also is there any other way to uninstall the least update without root or flash or repair via pc suit the device, or is there any other calling apps available for change the default value of this, I tried several calling apps available in the play store but all of them fail, really upset about this issue and looking for serious answer from Sony you
Also i posted a support request on Sony support form but i really surprises because no replies from Sony, or no fixes are available via updates, help me XDA experts because you all are the last available option to resolve this issue.
Here the Sony form link about this error:

Microphone not working on calls accept bluetooth or speaker
I have VS980 ... I rooted phone through stumproot about a year ago.... the sofware version in my phone is the 26A currently and of coarse being rooted doesnt allow OTA firmware updates to be installed for 28A then Lollipop 39A: ... ive noticed about a week ago that my microphone on phone calls and google voice search have stopped working accept on speaker or bluetooth for phone calls and bluetooth only for voice search ... being the phone is running on 26A version, I believe it is a software upgrade issue because the phone still works on speaker ... now here are my questions if anybody can help me:
1) Is there a way to push the software update without losing root access ? ... I did however backup all files, contacts, pics, etc to verizon cloud in case unroot or factory restore is necessary
- if anyone can provide me with the links to do this or even to unroot the phone in worse case scenario so i can upgrade including any flash tools or or even if there is an updated mic driver I can
- is there just a simple way to update my microphone driver without affecting root?
- I have been researching this for past week and have a few links I have found accept I am unsure which tool kit would be necessary if any for this issue
Thank you so much if you could help me...

Has anybody figured out a way to get this to answer calls from the Google Voice and/or Hangouts apps? I have the added complication of using it with a tablet that "can't" make voice calls. The "Phone" app is hidden and with everything I've tried (nothing tricky, just the standard options), my Neo tells me something like "your connected Android device is not capable of making calls."
I'm using a rooted AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab S (SM-T807A), running Android 5.0.2. I'd like to be running basically anything other than TouchWiz but locked bootloader is a pretty big hindrance.
My Neo is running software version R381XXU0BOA2.
I'm able to get notifications from the Hangouts app (even missed call notifications, ironically) so I suspect that if I could somehow trick the Neo into thinking the T807 is (for example) a Galaxy S5, it might let me answer calls. But I have no idea how to do that or if that's even where the problem is.
Hi xda. Foolishly purchased this tablet ( LTE variety ) thinking it could make calls, but despite installing third-party dialers including Googles nothing seems to work because it would seem that this functionality has been removed from OS ? Does anybody know if there is a way to enable voice calls ( not VOIP, Skype or any other data call ) ?
Pretty sure the stock dialer should be working.
I have the SM-T395 and it doesn't show any issues on this matter.
maybe copy logcat while trying to use the dialer and we can take a look.

It would seem that the first step is to try to set "config_voice_capable" parameter to true in "framework-res.apk." This has apparently worked on other tablets. If this doesn't work then perhaps a limitation with baseband version.
found the same issue
sm-t397 cant make phone calls
For a T-397 (and the T-285 as well), you have to have the carrier-side (i.e. your plan) set up as a PHONE, not a TABLET.
You also have to use a phone APN.
If you set them up as a tablet, the carrier-side software blocks the phone function.
If the salesperson is confused about this, just tell them you want to get texts on the tablet.

Can I do call recording on the Pixel 4 XL? I currently have a Samsung Note 9 SM-N960U1, the first non-rooted phone I've ever had. I love the phone except I have to hide it from upgrades and the Playstore or I will lose my call recording which I depend on. I have a friend who is looking for a phone and also needs to do call recording and I'd like to get him something he doesn't have to jump through hoops with to maintain call recording like I have to.
Thanks!
With a stock Pixel 4 ther is no recording that I'm aware of. Maybe third party apps can do this..

- Everything worked flawlessly for years with 3rd Party apps like ACR. Accountants, attorneys, IT people, and anyone who charges for support time used it for documentation and billing.
- Android 9 made call recordings very poor quality, so people reverted to 8.1 but then providers clandestinely did force upgrades to get them on a new boot loader so they can't go back. Users flashed the generic and then turned things off that you cannot with any of the vendor firmware with ADB and did APKs through APK pure instead of the playstore. They announced that they were going to kill call recording altogether in Android 10.
- March of 2019 the Playstore rolled out an update that destroyed the ability of any app to integrate with contacts and history. The world went nuts talking about law suits, etc. They tried sneaking things in through Wi-Fi so users stopped using it to preserve their call recording.
- OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Huawei make sure to include this feature on their build of Android, it is not available on stock Android.
- Now Android 10 comes out and says it added call recording back. What I don't know is if this enables it to work again with 3rd party apps, only on Exynos, only on... etc. Since this phone doesn't have a locked boot loader and can be rooted, that helps, but it's too new to be able to go back to Android 8.1. So what I'm wondering is if people here have call recording working with the Pixel 4 XL. Maybe I just need to get a OnePlus, Xiaomi, or Huawei.
Call recording works perfectly with root but I'm not entirely sure about stock. I use call recorder by skvalex. I haven't looked at the thread lately but I seem to remember that his app did work on stock. I think the recording quality might be reduced though. Here is a link to his thread if you want to check it out. It comes with a free trial and then there is a one time purchase to continue use. I've been using it for years and highly recommend it.

That's what I need to hear. I love my Samsung Note, but before I steer someone else to one and the misery the Playstore and Samsung and Android have caused me, I'd rather give him a better option. The Note 9 is my first phone without root and it has been misery. It has been nothing but sneak attacks by Verizon and the playstore, etc.
As of now I'm happy with the Pixel phones as I was with the Nexus line before that. I used to just get my phone from my carrier (Verizon) before I switched to Google Fi. At that time I always bought the latest Samsung device and jumped through hoops to get root. Root is easy to get and maintain now. I might not always buy a Google device but I will always buy from an OEM that allows bootloader to be unlocked.
>but I will always buy from an OEM that allows bootloader to be unlocked<
Those are wise words. I regret buying the SM-N960U instead of the SM-N9600, and I could use the second SIM. I wanted Samsung Pay for traveling. It was totally not worth it. Because the Note 9 could do what I wanted at the time I figured I didn't need it anymore. Shortly thereafter, the unholy trinity (Android, Verizon, and Google Play Store) sabotaged our phones. I flashed them with the U1 firmware so I could shut things off. We did not use Wi-Fi, turned off all updates from the play store, and all security updates on the phone with ODIN. APKs were from versions prior to March, 2019/911. One day I was the one who connected my phone to a USB port on a computer with Internet access by accident. Within seconds I received a message my phone had been updated. They sabotaged it again. Call recording still works, but they destroyed the audio on the camera and voice recorder we use to take notes at meetings, and screwed up my VOIP calling. Now I must re-flash it and set it up again. We need is good call recording. For us, call recording is our note taker, documents conversations for invoicing detail and time, and allows us to not write and drive at the same time. It integrates with CRM so we can check previous conversations, and voice-to-text. It has enabled us to collect several double-digit 10s of thousands of dollars owed to us to enforce contracts. In 2019 they destroyed even the history, which we had to recover and manually re-index. The update I just got? Most likely spyware. Now it says my phone is in a call when it isn't. Only 15 out of 50 states still require two-party consent, and after recent court cases, effectively 13. Their security updates are far more likely for THEIR security, not mine. They record ALL of your conversations, not just meta data, leaving them the only ones privy to them. The reason I know is they tried to hire me in the late 90's, prior to 911, to do precisely that. That begs the question, do you trust the caretakers of the information? So another reason to record your calls is to have the ability to prepare a proper defense should the need arise. Now a relative is going into business and sees the value of recording his calls. He likes what we have, but we don't, and after what just happened, I'm assembling options for him and us.
