Invest in a hearing aid?
But what exactly did you update to? If ICS did you do a wipe?

Yes, I wiped 'em all.
I agree, call volume is very low. Sometime, when the other caller is with a fix line it is allright, thought i would like to be able to keep one "up" volume in case of; but most of the time, the volume is really just enough to understand.
At the contrary, playing music over the headphone is quiet good, sometimes (most) too loud! Why on earth is the volume of the sound different when listening to music against a voice call???????????? There are horses demanding to be free....

There was a genuine issue with call speaker volume in the 2.3.7GB firmware, that was fixed with ICS.
Call volume it's now loud from my SXS.
Keep in mind some telephony devices that ppl use will be low and poor quality by default. The only way to fix that is to ask them to use a dif device.

My earpiece is loud enough to hear it on a noisy boulevard - the only thing quiet on the Xperia S is the speakerphone - it doesn't use xLoud and sound volume is a bit low during call... .453 firmware.
Agree. People hear me loud and clear and via the earphones it's good, but I have to press the phone to my ear so hard sometimes that it leaves a stripe...

Not to sound like Steve, but you're holding it wrong. Try calling a free number and move the phone around your ear a bit. I've noticed I had to hold the phone a bit lower then I usually do to hear the caller loud (plenty loud) and clear.
Mine is generally ok, it seems to be quieter with certain people so I'm a bit confused lol
I would agree that speakerphone is too low, seriously weak.

The position i have to hold it in doesn't quite feel natural, but if I look in the mirror it looks normal so I'd assume it is a small adjustment

I did the update to ICS and the problem continues, what else I can do
I am having the same issue & i am on GB .73. I can not update to ICS seeing as Rogers wireless has not released the update yet here .
I wish the call volume was a bit louder. I downloaded the Volume+ app but it keeps forclosing so i am a bit upset about this. Hope with the ICS update they give us a louder call volume

Can anyone with 2.1 check for me to see if the sound on the xperia is louder now please. I know Sony said they're knew about the problem and were going to make it better, I just want to know if they did.
It is louder IMO after 2.1 update.
ive yet to test the sound will update as soon as i test it

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes, much better. However, I've noticed that there is some noise for the person on the other side of the call
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I seriously think the volume issue is hardware related, I have never had a problem with mine on 1.6, but the 2.1 update cranked it up, I keep my volume at 50% as full volume would make me go deaf. I was talking on my phone under the L tracks with a train going by in Chicago today, no place is louder, I heard the person fine.
How do u guys hold your phones to your ears?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Umm.. Its not any louder for me, but that annoying static is gone.
I rang my mum who has a really ****ty phone line and for once the call was crystal clear.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
I find it a little bit louder,not much...Works fine for me
There is no noticeable difference since the update it is still one of the worst phones to make and receive calls on I have ever owned, I also own a galaxy s which is way better to use to make calls on ie crystal clear and very loud.

How is the overall call volume? Is it loud enough?
Why do manufacturers do these dumb things?
I wanted the loud speakers mainly for the loud ringing advantage, as I set my phone down in one corner of the house and often miss calls as I can't hear it from the other rooms.
Hopefully there's a fix.

Seriously, I don't know why every review I've read so far talks about the power front facing stereo speakers when the volume is really so poor. What's the use?
Looks more like a software glitch to me.
One more bug I find was the volume indicator which appears when you press the volume rocker doesn't seems to be moving continously the correct volume levels. Again, not sure whether it's just me alone with this bug.

Well, it depends on you, but I feel it's a software issue as I could hear loudly when I play music. So it can't be a hardware issue. It could be a matter of bug fix update from Sony to fix it.

Web tests put the M8 at 85db and the Z2 at 82db.
I don't use my phone to blare music at high volume levels.
Gyus, i`m shocked! When i get incoming call - only one (lower) speaker is playing! Sony mocks ???!!! Device have 2 stereo speakers but they are not playing both with incoming calls! WTF!?
Everyone have this ?
What do you think, is this a firmware problem or what ???
This upset me so much! (((((
Maybe that's why the ringtone volume is so low.. A very common feedback now.
Seems like it`s not a s/w glitch, seems like Sony did that deliberately. What for - is a damm mystery for me! This is so unlogical, so stupid, aahh, can`t select all words how this dissapointed me
The only hope for talented people on XDA to fix that.
Yea... speakerphone for calls is ridiculously low.
Could you please post your findings to the Sony support forums for visibility?

Guys, who lives in Taiwan and Singapore, PLEASE, write a messages to a Sony support about this problem, why they did incoming calls with only one speaker ? Would they fix that in future or not ? Wanna hear what Sony official support will write about that!
Thank you.
PS I wrote about this to a Sony Singapore, in English, i hope they will feedback to me.
I think this is unacceptable bug!
Smartwatch 2
I think sony need us to buy the smartwatch 2 or smartband for feel the vibration alert when incoming call rather than to hear the sound.
that why sony said (Details make the different ).
SONY GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

Is there at least one person on this forum who`s got both speakers working on incoming call, sms, what`s upp message ?

Do we have defect on our handsets ?

Try to listen one song on both and then on one. If you don`t listen the difference, you are lucky man!

You listen to music on both speakers but ringtone for incoming calls are only on one speaker. That's the reason that ringtone is less loud then music.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the 'loudspeaker' is made up of both the top and bottom speakers for stereo? What I am implying is that while using the loudspeaker for music/YouTube, the speaker at the top of the handset has a weaker sound that the one at bottom. It does not carry as much bass and is noticeably quieter.

Ok I have received a replacement Z2 today and it has exactly the same issue. When playing music/videos/games, the speaker at the top is noticeably quieter and provides a lower quality sound.
Maybe this is a software problem? The two devices I have had are on 17.1.A.2.55 but I have seen in the General section there is a newer firmware than this.
Can @LotoTutu @Envious_Data and @Alex Charles confirm what version your're using? Thanks!

im on 17.1.A.2.55 too, i dont have any issues, the only issue i have ran into with my XZ2 is a random lag ever so often, but this only occours when i have 3 or more apps open,
(I Believe this is a RNGD/Entropy)
Misc info
i believe then new firmware is 17.1.A.69 which contains some minor bug fixes and stuff, im not sure about the details of it realy so i cant tell much realy
the Speaker issue we have here i cant tell if its a Firmware or Hardware, i kinda need to test some more,
ill be getting a second XZ2 so ill be able to test weather this is a HW or a Firmware issue unless someone else can conform

i tried this link and my bell unit has the same issue. it is not drastic, but there is a slight difference in volume with the bottom speaker being louder. i noticed this today when listening to a podcast when i accidentally covered the bottom speaker and noticed that the sound dropped quite a bit. the difference was not as noticeable with this link though. i am on the .55 firmware, can anyone with .69 confirm that their unit works differently?
