Hello everyone,
First of all, I would honestly like to praise how good the Z3 Compact looks, feels, and performs. I got it 2 days ago (from a non-Sony supplier), and I don't regret investing in it.
I have a problem, though, and it's the only one on this device - the microphone during calls. There's this echo that the other party hears when calling me, and on top of that, my microphone's quality is not the best.
Since it's new, I don't want to open it up and see what's wrong with it, but my guess is that both microphones (the second belonging to the camera) are on during calls and that's what makes the echo - the other party's voice is heard via the second mic and it gets sent back to them with a small delay.
Is there a software-related solution to this? I'm running the latest SliMM (6.0.1) with an unlocked bootloader. Thanks in advance for all your help!
Its most likely just a software problem, try fiddling with the Call Settings in Settings and see if anything there helps alleviate the problem if not, try using another Audio Engine ( e.g Beats Audio, Viper ) and see if that helps.
Also check if its a signal related problem, slurred speach and cut audio are signs of low/poor cell signal. Good luck

Thanks! I will definitely mettle with audio mods, but as far as Call Settings go, I've already disabled the "Mic noise suppression" feature, which makes a difference, but the echo is still present.
The bug is still present, by the way. Should I find an actual fix for it, I will update this post.

Update: It has nothing to do with the Android version nor the ROM...the microphone picks up whatever the speaker plays during a phone call.

I had similar issue. I disabled 'Microphone Noise Suppression' in call settings and it helped. Give it a try.

I have already done that, a long time ago, but it doesn't help. It does make my own voice sound more clear, if anything.
EDIT: I seem to have found the cause of this problem, and more on that can be found here. The thing is, the Google App and the "OK Google" feature are active in the background at all times, which might be what causes both microphones to always remain on. So what's the solution? Get rid of the Google App - freeze it, delete it with Link2SD, whatever.
I will definitely keep checking if that truly is the solution, and I'll definitely ask the mods to close this post, once everything's clear.
help,
all of a sudden my mic on the phone is crap, i havnt droped it on the floor or anythiing like that.
but today it startet to make a very loud noise so the reciever of call couldnt hear a thing, tryed to restart the phone, it helped but only briefly,
is it a general problem?
or im just unlucky
regards
Hey man,
I just registered to say that I have the same problem. I own Nokia 8 and sometimes when I call with people they cant hear me at all or they can but they hear a loud noise. It looks like it is randomly occuring, I can call the same person 5 minutes later and they can hear me loud and clear all of a sudden.
Its very strange I think its the problem with microphone and I think its software related because I believe camera is using the same microphone for recording and that seems to be fine whenever I record a video.
Messenger/Viber/Whatsapp voice messages doesnt work sometimes tho so its linked. Hopefully this can be solved with via future updates but we should let Nokia know so they can sort this out.

Well in my case its much worse, I bought it from a guy who won it in a Facebook contest from Nokia that was held back in September I think. I am not sure if warranty applies to my phone, I hope so. But even if it did I would have to send it to UK and I am from different country

Tell them that it might be a software issue on Nokia end so I dont think they can do anything with it other than give you a new device.
same here
I found the same here. It is like interference. Since there are 3 mics, is it possible to disable one for testing?
Same here, happened today for the second time! BT and speakerphone modes are not affected, and only calls are affected - recording through an app does not produce the same issue. It's like someone is blowing air with full force into the mic!

Exactly like you describe, blowing air with full force into the mic.
But recently the problem somehow stopped and the mic is working BUT he audio is still damaged I believe because when I record a video there is interference in the background and no way its the same quality as advertised with OZO audio.
I also noticed that it stopped working after CHARGING the phone everytime, so I had to restart it after every charge, so maybe problem with electricty damaging the microphone ?

I have no idea what to do, will have to trash the phone for something else. It's still not working after hours of troubleshooting.
I managed to restore the mic functionality by entering safe mode (by pressing volume down during power up). We'll see how long will it last.
It's back. Nokia never again.

Nokia 8 Oreo. EDIT Ok found the thread - it Was specifically about Receiving calls, but might apply.
SEARCH xda nokia 8 questions & answers speakerphone
First question was 12 march 2018
Possible solutions:- 1 Full factory reset, setup Google account, don't install apps and Try it to see if solved.
2 Use Macrodroid app to turn off speakerphone 1 to 2 seconds into call (wow great app)
3 Press speakerphone icon twice at start of each call
4 Oreo 8.1 seems to have the problem less
Hope This Helps
I think I have solved this problem with my Nokia 8 which had been persistent for the last week.
I just took a household vacuum cleaner and cleaned out all the microphone slots and bingo the problem was solved!
Unfortunately I can't log in to the Nokia community forum to post there, I just get three endlessly pulsating dots, so if anyone can copy and paste this post over there it would be great.
Bad Mike.
I faced the same after last security upgrade. Today it became an issue for ANY call. And nothing I tried/found helped. (Soft resets, charging, Safe mode). Nokia 8 just generated noise like I would be staying on windy hill.
I've contacted Nokia via the Care app. It tooke ONE HOUR but in the end the operator helped me and I hope I've explained they should at least respond on their forum when the issue is reported almost a year. And their developers should know about issue that prevents using of phone for calling.
So the what worked for me part of answer:
- Settings>>Apps¬if>>See all apps>>Phone>>Storage>>Clear cache and Clear data
- Settings>>Apps¬if>>See all apps>>Carrier Services>>Storage>>Clear cache and Clear data
- perform soft restart (Power + Up buttons for 10 secs untill you see powered by Android)
Even before performing of the soft restart it worked again but it should be better to make it as well.
The microphone problem happened to me for the second time yesterday in a couple months. I tried the following, and it did NOT help. That said, the microphone returned to normal later in the day - it seemed to coincide with battery saver kicking as the battery become low.
I wish it would fail hard, so at least I can easily warranty the phone. At present, just when I give up and think about claiming warranty, the phone works again.

I am having problem with recording voice message with WhatsApp and any other voice recording apps.
I did everything and Nokia support member said it can be because of last security patch.
I can make calls and no problem but when I wanted to send voice message no success.
Please help me
Mine has been having the same problem for about a month now, had to start using my earphones for calls.
Using Google camera to record the audio is perfectly find, but stock camera and dialer have this noise.
None of the above has helped.
Considering sending it to the Nokia phone repair?

Mine too, in the first day! I had to restart. Coming from an iPhone, I was shocked (along with other irregularities) to the point, I think I might have to sell p20 pro.
I had a similar issue on my p20. As it seemed to be a software issue I went into the apps and notifications part of the settings. In here I went to permissions and changed what had permission to use the phone and microphone. I took permission off everything unless it was essential. It has since solved my problem but I am not entirely sure which thing caused the issue however I would guess at the Huawei apps that were trying to use them. Hope this helps with your problems

I have had 4 p20 pros in 6 weeks and all of them have mic issues. I live in London so signal has never been an issue but with these phones, most of the time indoors people cant hear me...its ridiculous. Nobody has a clue what to do....about to send the phone back for good but I really want it....any ideas?

You should try to install custom rom or reinstall stock rom with fastboot.
during deep sleep, when a call arrives
sound is slow and distorted in incoming call
Me too
WTH, I thought it was a problem with my A2. Right after Pie update I have had 2 issues, 1. Front camera was not working and 2. Speaker distortion during incoming call. Took it to service center who simply flashed a firmware and said both the problems will be solved, but they didn't, they said the front camera module needs to be changed and they didn't have in stock, took it to other service center who refused to login for service stating its just a software issue and will be solved by factory reset! Finally took it to a third service center who opened up and said "the camera connection was lose, and fixed both the issues", front cam was working fine but the speaker distortion was still there. Had to take it to the third service center one more time and replicate the problem there, then they took the phone and said they will be replacing the speaker under warranty, the mobile is still with them as we speak.
And interestingly, when I gave to them to fix the front camera, they reverted to 8.1 but the problem was still there. Wrong proximity sensor placement, yellow band, memory management issues (I can't clean the Chrome cache!), and all the bugs Pie brought in, the worst android phone I have ever owned till date.
I love how this phone falls to pieces slowly and we keep hoping for fixes but each iteration of an update introduces a new bug ... Mi A3 slowly shows up and still nothing : ))
Got this phone as a secondary device for our new business and so far I'm very happy with it for the price and my mum has just got it to replace her aging Honor V10. However I have noticed when on video calls with her, her voice sounded very muffled and like she was underwater and I could barley hear her on Whatsapp. However, when we did a voice only call on whatsapp she sounded fine. I have tested with my phone as well and exactly the same problem occurred which suggests that this is a common hardware limitation or software issue. Any advice?
Got the same problem on my WhatsApp video call with remi note 10 pro. But when I'm using a headset to make a video call, my voice was clear. Any suggestion or advice?
same i was reported even on messenger that people couldnt hear me well , and there is no option to adjust microphone
it's totally software related problem, there's lot of bug and issues in this miui 12.5 rom, if don't have problem with this issues then wait for their miui update, or you can unlock bootloader then install custom rom in it, I did it and now work well for me. Install pixel experience rom

I'm facing the exact same issue what you're going through.
I brought redmi note 10 pro max on Saturday 7/8/2021 and I was checking all the specs and all.. All was truly good but the problem happened only on call.
1. My bf investigated that when he calls me. His voice I can't hear it beaks and for him, he is having issue with not hearing my voice.. It sound like my voice is breaking in middle of conversation, so I've to repeat my sentences and this is frustrating.
2. I checked the speaker quality, this is more worse than without speaker quality. Realme xt was indeed my ideal phone which I've to give to my sister. When I kept the phone on speaker, it sounded like I was speaking softly, and some of my words were cancelled. He said that the noise cancellation of redmi note 10 pro max when kept in speaker is also cancelling the my voice.it like can't distinguish between sender voice and background voice.realme is so much better. I really wish realme bring again glass body in 20 k range with AMOLED screen.
I checked even with my mom, she faced the same issue, without speaker worse and with speaker my voice was worst!
I requested for replacement from Amazon, it ws arriving next day.
While it comes, I did factory reset and phone service rest and check for latest update. It was smoothly working for sometime, hence cancelled the replacement which I made mistake. The issue again persists next day only with speaker.. Without speaker, anyone can listen carefully.
So I contacted customer care of Amazon for replacement again but they said they can't replace it.. The replacement is done only twice
1. Original phone replacement
2. Replaced phone replacement
Since I cancel that replace phone, I can only now get refund that is 4-6 working days.
This is so frustrating.
The main functionality of phone is calling, if that only purpose is lost, its like wasting money for nothing.

I think I have found the "solution" for this problem. Im currently on update 12.5.8. The work around for this problem is to reduce the video call volume to half or below. My girlfriend and I have been experimenting recently and found that when the video call volume is less than half , the other person can hear you much clearer. I hope this would help.

I have the same problem on Redmi Note 10 Pro on WhatsApp and Messenger.
I get no issues either with native ViLTE video call or Google duo video call.
Same issue with me as well
In July 2021, we bought two RMN10Pro phones in Pakistan. Both have this exact issue, it's so much torturing that I feel like throwing it out of the window whilst video calling. No one can hear what we say at the receiving end. So far, non of the official OTA updates fixed the issue, hoping MIUI 13 will, and are waiting for it eagerly.
My old trusty HTC 10 has a crystal clear call experience at the same time.

Try going to the Xiaomi service center near you and discussing it with them. Report back to us their reply. If they say it is a hardware issue, get it replaced/repaired by them, if they say it is a software issue, also then ask them to fix it. IT IS INDEED VERY IRRITATING!, we have two of these with problems out of the box.
I came to Germany from Pakistan so one of them is with me and I can't go for warranty services, don't know if it has an international warranty. Others back home are not that tech-savvy, so I was looking for a possible solution. Plus, I can't get it replaced from here even if there was a possibility as it would lose the very costly PTA (Pakistan Telecom Authority) registration. The phone was purchased from a Pakistani market, so its IMEI is already registered.
If the upcoming MIUI 13 update doesn't fix it, I'd unlock the bootloader and go for a Pixel Experience ROM.
