Callers can't hear me, or hear me very poorly - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I have a serious problem with my Z5C.
As I stated in the title, callers can't hear me. It's probably software issue, because when I turn on loudspeaker mode everything seems to be ok. But I'm not so happy with everyone around me hearing my conversation.
I have tested microphone in service menu - everything OK. When recording video, sound being recorded properly also. I have tested an AOKP rom recently and this also helped with problem. Now I am back on modified Nougat stock and problem occurs again.
Any solution to this?

Call Sound Volume Problems

Hi Guys
I recently flashed my mob and installed cm7.1 with the nightly build for 08/11/2011.
Phone works great except in call, everyone I speak to says i sound like I am in a deep hole or underwater. I can hear them fine with no problem.
This only happens when I make a mobile call. Sound works well when I am speaking to people over Skype.
Please help.

[Q] Weird microphone issues

I have recently purchased a Lenovo IdeaTab A2109-F which I was quite happy with, since this was the first time I have used an android tablet as I am coming from iOS background.Before I bought the tablet, I read that id had double microphone in order to make voice calls such as Skype clearer. Now , at first it seemed all good and I had people saying that the audio being received is clear and crisp on the other end of the call.
However after 2-3 mins in a call (every call) the microphone then goes really weird and audio being received from it becomes mumbled until it completely degrades where it seems like just random noises, sometimes it even goes all quiet. What I have noticed however , if I blow into the microphone it then goes all good again.
At first I thought it was a Skype app issue and so I downloaded a microphone voice recorder (memo recording sort of app) and same observations were made where voice being recorded completely degrades within 3 minutes of the recording, where blowing into the microphone temporary fixes the problem until it happens again after a minute or so.
Now I am lost here , I really like the tablet and I really doubt it's a hardware issue for some reason. I have a suspicion that something is either upping/lowering the sensitivity of the microphone and where blowing into the microphone seems to then readjust it.
I really hope somebody could help me out, maybe there is an app that allows to change microphone settings , or maybe something else that I could try out.
Thanks for your time! :good:
P.S Android Version: 4.1.1 and latest Skype app. I also tried upgrading the firmware, same problem was observed.
I still have the same issue on my Lenovo A2109. Skype, Line or any internet call, voice degrades within 8 - 10 mts and I had to end the call and re-do the call again. VERY ANNOYING... I thought it was just my tablet. I didn't try the trick of blowing into the microphone. Thanks for the tip. Did you get a solution yet? I thought upgrading would help. But thanks for confirming.

LineAgeOS 14.1 - LG G5 H850 voice record problem

Hey guys,
yesterday I installed the 14.1-20180719-NIGHTLY-h850 version of LineAgeOS on my phone.
Everything worked fine, but then I found a bug.
WhatsApp voice mails and any other voice record doesn't have any sound except an cracky sound at the beginning, after that, theres no sound.
The strange thing is, when I record a video with any camera App, theres normal mic sound, maybe a little bit crackling.
Do you know how to fix this?
PS: If I connect a headset, I get very strange Sound in WhatsApp voice mails/records etc and no Sound in Discord.
Also WhatsApp and Snapchat (no more tested) don't record the sound with Headset mic rather the normal phone-mic.
Ok guys, after flashing it new... a few times... I got normal mic performance when no Headphones or Headsets are connected.
If so, the mic level is very, very, low.
Any ideas?
My mic doesnt work regardless if I was on stock, downgraded version, custom ROM, etc. I dont know what to do. I do have the same symptom as yours tho where when I record, there is a few pops at the beginning then just silence
I got the replacement module for the g5 and not even that fixed it. I am stumped of how to fix this issue.
EDIT: I just now found out that after taking out the motherboard, there was a red sticker covering some golden connectors, after taking that off fixed it. No idea why there was a red sticker there but please check and if it is there then take it off. itll be on the other side of the motherboard..

Question Calls not working properly on calls and whatsapp calls.

Hi there people.
I've got the following issue. If anyone has this issue or has fixed it let me know.
Calls seem to be interfering with my mic. Sometimes my voice doesn't go to the other end even though normal call or whatsapp call. They might hear 1 word then nothing from me for a few seconds then a word or two and it sometimes sounds like a clicking noise.
I've called my self too and I can't hear anything on my RM7 but whoever I call can hear the clicking noise and sometimes nothing from me.
Sometimes I can't hear the other person too. It cuts out.
Same with normal calls and whatsapp calls.
Continuing my testing, I can send voice notes without issue and receive them and play it via rhe earpiece without issue too. Even voice recording and video recording the microphone does a good job only in calls it bugs out.
Continuing my testing
Works fine with headphones connected. But mic and earpiece work fine when used by voice notes and video ect
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I have the same issue. It started around last week.
I cleaned my speakers and mic thinking I got dirt build up. But it's still the same.
It seems like a software issue. Looking at the patch notes in latest OS update (NX679J_UNcommon_V3.16) for me, they have listed "Repair: possible issues with calls in some scenarios". I don't know when they released the update and when I applied it to my phone but that could be the reason for this issue too.
After reading your post I tried regular calls with headphones, speakers and video call with Google meet. They all work fine.
For call on speaker, as soon as you turn the speaker off it starts acting up again.
Hopefully they will fix this issue soon.
From my testing it seems like its an app or something interfeering with the calls. I started the phone up in safe mode (no 3rd party apps only stock ones) and the issue was gone, so the issue is a app related issue, thinking its a virus I just reset the phone to factory and all is good now. I didnt find what was causing it.
Thanks for an update.
I will play around a bit and if it doesn't work out then will do the same.
