[Q] Skype mic volume - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried a Skype test call with my XTZ. The volume of my mic was extremely low. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks

Same problem for me :-/

If I'm corect, the mic is placed at the top if the tablet, next to the infrared sensor. That might be part of the reason why it captures poor audio.

same here
I just bought the tablet and I have the same issue. Quite disappointing I say, for a high end device. As the sound in the camera video recording is fine, I can only hope this is a software issue that will be fixed with an update.

I also have this problem. Emailed Sony support, we'll see what happens.

Sony confirmed that the device is faulty and have asked me to return it. Took a while to get through to anyone useful, though. The number I eventually used (in the UK) was 020 8762 5800. That's Sony Mobile Support. I explained the problem and they emailed me return instructions.
So if you have this problem, your device is faulty and you should contact Sony and get it repaired under the warranty.

Just got my SGP321 and discovered this annoying issue (yes, i'm on the latest fw .307)
Anyone on a custom ROM having the same issue?

I have tried different versions of cyanogenmod . All had the issue including the current version cm 11 nightly. Is it a hardware defect or a software? I have lost warranty on this thing so I'm hoping for a magic app or a cm update that addresses the issue. Is there anything out there?

i have same issue on cm11... can anyone help?
same problem with bluetooth headset....

Any help on this? Damn it Sony

Audio Crackling while Screen Off

I know this is being discussed in the sound quality thread, but I think it needs it's own thread.
This happens on every audio player, and only whilst the screen is off and not connected to charger.
Thanks to StudioMinal for his excellent diagnosis: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27381652&postcount=328 and here is the crackling he found: http://studiominal.tistory.com/attachment/[email protected]
No fix from Samsung as of yet. For us non-rooters, it's important we force Samsung to fix this asap as it really distracts from the listening experience and otherwise great sound quality.
Got my S3 few days ago. I have this same problem. Anything I can do to help solving it?
im having same issue. is there any way to fix it? i can root my s3 if there is a chance to kill this cracking sound
ps. ive try flying mode - no help
Yes, my phone has this too, thought it was only my phone but seems others are having the same problem.
Have contacted the store I bought it from and now waiting for reply about what the will do.
Hope the contacted Samsung about this and we will get an fix soon.
I already reported this to Samsung's engineers. They know about it.
Anyone who have any news on This?
I want to avoid root and stuff.
But This issue is major for me.

I just flashed stock UK ROM BLG8 and haven't heard any audio crackle yet. This is in line with reports from other XDA users that BLG6/BLG8 fixes the audio crackle.
Yes. Latest firmware seems to fix this.

Yup, same here. Newest update killed that issue dead!

Hey all, I'm rocking stock, not-rooted, 4.1.1. I get the cracking sound in the stock music player and player pro. No issue for streaming apps like Pandora, etc. The latest software update (about a week or two ago?) did not resolve the issue. Does anyone know if there is an official resolution? I've been reading the main sound quality thread for about two hours and since I'm not rooted, the CPU workaround won't work for me. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Archos 10.1 g9 turbo problem

Hi,
I bought my son on eof these from Argos, so 2 days in playing we have noticed a random 'static' noise problem. this happens even on browing the web or menus and apps. So is this a fault with the unit or just unlucky for me? secondly I have read a post on another forum that its the Archos firmware that is the problem just updated to 4.07 and still the same issues. Is there a firmware on here i could use to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Mark
I would say it's a hardware fault.
I'm on the latest stock firmware (4.0.7) and experience no unusual sound hiccups.
That said, it might be worth wiping all data and re-flashing with the latest firmware to see if the problem persists.
If it does I would contact Archos or perhaps Argos for a replacement.

[Help] Bluetooth audio streaming problem

When streaming audio to Audi MMI, in my 2012 A1, the music seems to randomly stop and start again - sounds as if I have hit pause then play. Sometimes it can do it multiple times - consecutively and other times just once every now and then. The car has been in and out of the garage numerous times and Audi have now effectively washed their hands with my problem. Blaming the phone... :banghead:
Audi have highlighted that their website mentions that this an issue with the phone....im currently on 4.1.2 MC2 which is newer than the version audi has shown to have tested - 4.0.4 LG8, but im still encountering this problem - running the latest version of audi bluetooth software too.
I've also tried a few different music player apps to make sure it wasnt app related but still no joy. I'm using neutron mp now - really like the EQ and SQ settings. I really dont want to have to use and SD card or dare i say it, buy an ipod just so I can listen to music without interruption - topped off by using either of these other options I won't have the same control of the EQ and SQ settings
Any ideas what could be causing this? And why seems to be phone specific? The garage tested with an iphone and couldnt replicate the issue - it's my understanding that bluetooth is a 'wireless standard' so I cant really get my head around why some phones are ok but the i9300 has this issue.
Anyone here know what could be causing this and / or what I could try to resolve this issue?
Could it be a buffer issue? Or the i9300's proprietary bluetooth drivers?
Cheers in advance!!

Update:-
It was particularly bad today in one journey....
The thing that gets me is there seems to be no reason for the music hiccuping the way it is. The phone can be in my pocket and everything is fine one journey. Then the next journey it could hiccup maybe once or more or maybe even almost continuesly . Other times I sit my phone directly beneath the headunit - behind the gearstick - and i can get the same results as if it were in my pocket! So it doesn't seem to be signal strength issue.
Audi have tested their hardware and have insisted there are no fault codes being recorded so cannot replace the unit. The service manager has said that I am not alone in this situation and it's down to the phone's bluetooth compatibility with audi's hardware
The gs2 supposedly has the same issue along with a number of other android devices by looking at audi's website.
Frustrating to say at least. :what:

Talking to myself here...in the hope someone has a brainwave
I was thinking, could it be a memory issue? Is there anything I should try?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Hmm...yesterday I encountered a new version of this...
...while streaming music and after a couple of the hiccups. The music stopped completely on its own accord on two occasions - both times when I picked the phone up I had to hit play again.
Sooo, I was thinking, could it be some sort of wake issue?!

Ok, at long last someone has shed some light on this. I am yet to test the solution but seems promising...

Problems in making/receving calls

Hi all,
My sister has CM10.1 (25.5.13 nightly) on her phone and she can't make/receive calls.
When she calls someone, they can see her call but when they answer it, they can't hear her and she can't hear them....
She tried to take out the SIM card or switch to airplane mode but nothing helped so far...
Any idea what might be the problem and how she can solve it?
Thanks!
For anyone who encounters the same issue, the problem was solved by reverting to stock using odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187081).
try flashing a different modem.

I have been experienced same problem, ultimately go to repair center...
Try use something like Viber or Skype or something similar to determine the front ear speaker and microphone are working or not.
It they are working with Viber or something... then there is nothing we can do about it.
This was what I tried : tried countless stock firmware, Sammy based-on ROM, AOSP, AOKP , CM10, CM10.1... etc you name it.
And also flashed basically all, radio / modem I can found around XDA, just ended up nothing and eventually sent it to repair...

Sounds very similar for what I go through, did you try something like Viber or Skype to determine the front speaker and microphone working or not?

Mate 20 Pro microphone problem

Hello, i have had the phone for a year now and i love it. But there is only one thing that is bugging me, when i record something it gets recorded only on one channel (Right speaker). I have tried everything to fix it. Googling and looking around on the internet can't find anything even remotely related to my issue. If anyone has any ideas please help. If not i guess i will need to return it and hope that it goes under warranty (whatever is broken).
Hi mine is recording in stereo but wrongly. It use mic from bottom and no more the one from top.
So the phone in landscape mode didn't do the correct stereo.
I have open a hotline call but like always nothing move for it.
This bug appeared after an update didn't remember the correct working version. But this bug appeared quickly after mate 20 pro release. The first stock firmware was working.
And i was able to reproduce the same **** bug with other mate 20 pro so it isn't hardware issue but firmware one.
But it's maybe different from your case because i have stereo and you mono.
