[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuremonkey:
This behavior started within the last month or so.

My Nexus 7 randomly reboots 2 or 3 times per day most days, but not every day. It's running the factory ROM and it's not rooted. It rarely reboots when it's actually being used. Usually the reboots happen when it's sitting idle. Googling around led to suggestions to take a bug report immediately after it reboots. I have a couple, but I don't know what I'm looking for in them. The files are over 111k lines long so it's not like I can just skim through the file. How can I go about finding out what's causing the tablet to reboot?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Sweatpants:
Try the nexus 7 2013 forum this one is for the 2012 version it may be worth trying a factory reset failing that reflash the factory image also try booting the tablet in safe mode this limits the apps to only system apps if the tablet stops randomly rebooting then you know its a 3rd party app causing it
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] wroder84:
So my issues thus far has been every time I turn my Verizon Note 3 on and off as soon as it try's to reconnect with my Gear 2 it wants to wipe the watch and go thru the whole install process again. Also no apps from the Samsung apps portion of gear manager are installing on the device. Obviously this is new so updates are to come but if anybody has anything that has worked for them especially with the reset part let me know please, and thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] wroder84:
FIXED!!!!!

So I wiped my OS (BahaRom 10) and reinstalled Samsung app store first and then updated everything first then connected watch. Now app installs work and its no longer asking me to wipe every time. Hopefully this will be helpful to somebody!!!!

Hi...

I got a xperia z2 prototye. model 6503.

Everything is working fine, except the call quality. i can hear and understand very well, but the other person has echoes, and very bad sound..

When I use a heatset, there is no problem. and it is almost good, when I put the phone on the table, with speaker on. The problem is worst, when I hold the phone on my ear..

Is it a hard- or software related problem?

I´m now on 17.1.A.2.55

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
Since others have not complained about this issue, it looks like a hardware issue. Maybe your microphone is faulty?

Take it to Sony and get it checked.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuass:
I did some voice recording, and it is brilliant.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
Try turning off the noise cancellation feature during calls, and see if there's a difference.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikola1970:
Well it's a prototype so who knows...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
I have a very similar issue I posted about in my thread...

As you read in my thread my voice recording is anything but brilliant......what did you use for your testing?

I first became concerned when I recorded an outgoing message for the phone's default answering machine...As a test I download a voice recording app that let me turn off noise suppression/cancellation.

It brought it from unusable to usable, still not good. But I think your suggestion is a good one, I just don't see why a software tweak improves on something that seems more like a hardware problem. I say that because I can't find a single thing on the web aside from these two posts stating any concerns about it.

This is killing me...turning off noise cancellation only improves the quality in that particular app. Turning it off in the Call settings didn't change anything. I can't record an acceptable answering machine greeting no matter what I do.

EDIT- I also have unlocked my bootloader and thusly lost my DRM Keys... OP has a prototype Z2, perhaps something there?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuRpHyNiGHtLonG:
Same problem here, and mine is not a proto :)

my nephew and my gf got Z2 too, and same problem...

we hear wel, they can't hear us clearly
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Considering that the quality of sound that comes out of the speakers when we hear music, it sure is software problem! In Xperia Z was the same thing in its release!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
non proto:

when I'm on earpiece, the caller will always be breaking up. I'll have to disconnect and return the call before everything's crispy again. though there are times they'll complain of not hearing me properly. turning off the "background noise" option seems to help but they'll tell me it's noisy as fuuu.

lol hoping for a software fix I guess.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strommy1966:
i have had a problem with people being able to hear me clearly ! if i let the phone even drift slightly away from my mouth people say they cant hear me or im breaking up ! ! i had a GS2 before this phone and never had a problem like this . this to me is a hell of a major flaw ... if you struggle to use a mobile phone as what it is designed to do .. then it aint worth a s**t ! i have to keep the phone pressed up against the side of my face all the time im using it ... i cant just wedge it under my chin like i used to do with the old phone. maybe if i root and install a custom ROM it would help this issue ??? :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
First time I've seen my problem described to the letter. It's especially bad when I hold the phone with my chin and no hands. I turned off noise cancelation under phone settings and people stopped complaining however a few people complained of an echo... Lose, lose. Btw, I'm rooted with a custom ROM and nothing has changed.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strommy1966:
oh .. i thought rooting and a custom ROM would solve this problem ! i also have noise cancellation switched off .. but still if i let this phone drift even slightly away from my mouth , immediately people say im breaking up or they just cant hear me ? what the hell good is a damm phone that people cant hear you on ! i can hear them very clearly .. it must just be a crap microphone in the phone :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotoky:
This worries me. I'm planning to buy the z2 but if people in the other end have issues hearing you then I might pass. It's a shame.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
There should be a speaker voice enhancement option in the call settings menu, not sure whether you've tried this or not but might be worth a shot
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strommy1966:
i wouldn't of bought this phone .. trouble is you don't get to test the call quality or anything like that before you buy the phone ! yes now its easy to read this forum about the problems people are having . so wish i had waited and read this forum before i ordered mine. think i will be buying something else in the near future, and try and sell this one :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodpenguin:
Maybe people should report this to Sony as I don't get any complaints from the receiving end so far. My only complaint is the sound quality of the voice in the earpiece is not rich. The voice lacks low frequency.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K_Hismoom:
On my handset I constantly have hissing noises during a call and voice breaking up intermittently, but not when I'm on speaker or headphones then it's all crystal clear.

Mine is 14W16 and I've already had it replaced but the problem is still there (replacement device also 14W16).

Does anyone else experience this?

I've already disabled/enabled microphone noise suppression and speaker voice enhancement, but to no effect.

EDIT: My third device (also 14W16) still has this problem, maybe a faulty batch or is it probably a software problem?

EDIT2: Seems to be a software related problem. I have flashed the new 17.1.1.A.0.402 rom and it's almost perfect now.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guillaume59000:
It seems like a recurring problem...

Hi Guys,

Here's my post on Xperia Care (3 threads dealing with this specific issue):

"I've had the exact same issues since my very first call. I am pretty sure it is a hardware issue and not software or use-related (my phone has never been in contact with water, the issue started in an "out-of-the-box" context and ALL the people I've had over the phone guessed that I changed for a new one just because they could not hear me as clearly as with my former HTC HD2 which I'm starting to deeply regret for this basic use of calling for a phone!).

Searching over the web and through this forum, you can find many people complaining about this problem and saying that a standard exchange did not solve it: would it be a batch problem?? For info, mine is a simlock-free purple model bought in Germany.

Another thing, using noise cancellation is even worse according to my callees so I guess I'll never use this feature, then... All details provided by you guys are described by my friends when I have them on the phone: hissing, hearing me in the distance (muffled sound), hearing their voice in echo (bad Z2 speaker=>mic interaction), vibration (resonance/vibration due to the phone design itself??), hearing like intermittent wind gusts and very very bad sound when I hold the phone between my cheek and shoulder...

As if this would not be bad enough, now the camera application does not record sound anymore when filming (it used to be OK before updating to newer version through PC Companion). Instead of proper sound you hear constant hissing. After a lot of tests I've realised that it now uses the noise cancellation mic instead of the primary one. When running a mic test through Xperia diagnostics menu you can hear back that hissing and no sound at all. Doing the same test through the *#*#7378423#*#* menu gives a different result since I can hear the recording perfectly well (because it is using primary microphone)."

After rebooting my phone, the secondary mic is now working. This leaves me very puzzled now: would it be a software issue in he end??

I'm phoning French Xperia Car hotline tomorrow, keep you posted.

Cheers
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SooSpecial:
Any update on this? I just got this phone for my fiancé and it seems that she's having the same issue. I can't hear well.

Must have something to do with positioning the mic and how far it is from the mouth. More than a design problem than a hardware one methinks.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guillaume59000:
Hi SooSpecial,

Xperia Care had no explanation about this; they advised me to file a standard exchange procedure with the seller, which I did.

I'm now waiting for my new device, hoping I won't have the same problem anymore.

If not, I would ask for a refund and go for a G3 instead. That would be a pity because I really like the Z2.

I'd advise you to have your girlfriend's handset changed asap, otherwise you would have to go for a repair procedure w/ Sony, which may take approx. 1 month, leaving you without any replacement smartphone if it was a simlock-free one...

FYI, this problem has also been reported on Xperia Care Forum in 3 threads on Frandroid (french forum) and on some customer reviews on Amazon (as far as I know).

Good luck with that
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibax:
Hi my wife recently got this phone and has the same issue device number D6503. She is going to change it tomorrow but we are unclear as weather to demand a different make and model ie HTC one M8. We would really rather keep the Sony as it is otherwise a beautiful and vastly capable device with great specs.

Any further update or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmingli:
The poor call quality on the other end could be related to the noise cancellation, it cancel out the noise as well as your voice.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abd_alazeez2002:
I got the same problem in the first week.

But now the call quality is normal.

I think it was due to the network I used.

Help xperia z2 call quality

hello to all,

I take this post to a question.

Also I have a prototype xperia z2 is the same as that on the market and it works perfectly except for calls.

The people I call hear an echo of their own voice.

Someone managed to solve the problem?

It seems that all the prototypes have.

I have changed software and kernel, but it was useless.

Tips?

Obviously if you use the microphone with headphones works.

Thanks for the help

Call quality has been a long time issue, even during Sony Ericsson era.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hongaun:
The caller hearing themselves and echo problem has been resolved in 17.1.2.A.0.314 update. no OTA yet though, only through PC Companion.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4p:
Try 17.1.2.A.0.314

Version 17.1.2.A.0.314 has fixed the voice call quality issues for me (eg. muffled sound on speakerphone/microphone). It's still worse than my old HTC Sensation a bit, but much better than before.

I've read lot of reviews before bought, lot of them stated sound quality is excellent, I was very disappointed on my first call. Those people are deaf..?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HugePotato:
I am on 314 and my girlfriend says the sound is muffled and she can't understand me when I talk. 15 seconds later everything is back to normal. I am sorry but what the **** is wrong with Sony. It is beyond me how company this big can put out such overbugged smartphone on the market. As much as I love this phone overall, I am starting to regret that I didn't get plastic Samsung that would at least work as intended...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cloudsev:
I bought this phone in the second hand market 2 weeks ago and I'm just having the same problem, it's crazy. They said the last firmware (314) would fix this. PC Companion didn't show any updates, so I needed to flash the phone (with somebody else's firmware) and then fix the phone again with PC Companion (so that the 314 firmware could be downloaded from sony servers?). After doing all this, people are telling me that in general they're hearing me good, but a few ones have told me that they don't hear me quite well, so I don't know if the problem has been fixed or not. Anyway, I can't believe sony doesn't offer a real solution for people who has just paid a lot of money for this phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HugePotato:
I for one deactivated noise cancelling option in the Call settings in phone settings. At least now my girlfriend can hear me well, I don't have to hold my phone tightly near my ear and talk loudly to microphone. It's dissappointing tho since I have been using S3 which too had NC in call and it worked very well. I hope next firmware update will solve this, as well as many other bugs like low volume notifications...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cloudsev:
I have that option deactivated as well. Now it's as you say, in general people tell me they can hear me, but it should be better than that for a phone which costs 630€. I had an S3 as well! And it's like you say, alright, this one might be a great device but at least the S3 was really good for calling (which actually is the main purpose)...

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kmac_thp:
This is the reason I ended up getting rid of the Z2. EVERYONE I talked to said they could barely understand me unless I was on the BT in my car. All these considered, if you take away the bad call quality, this was my favorite phone to date. But with piss poor call quality it was a deal breaker. I also noticed no signal on my Z2 numerous times which was the first time I'd seen this on a phone in years. My guess is this phone would never get past QC at AT&T to get released.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iorveth:
Hi,

I got my Xperia Z2 phone today and it was pre-installed with the latest firmware .314 and had the same problem.

I fixed it be doing a repair via "PC Companion."

I plugged in the phone and installed PC Companion. I then chose to do a repair for my phone.

What it does is restart the phone to factory settings, erase everything and install the latest firmware from Sony.

I didn't believe it when I called my friend and asked him if my sound is better and he did! then I called 2 other and they both said it's very good!

I didn't even disable the "Noise Cancelling" option in the settings!

I found out this solution after contacting Sony Repair Department and the guy told me to do this and it should work and it did!

I wish it work for you but really as crazy as it may seem, it worked for me!

Please if it did work for you hit the "Thanks" button.

Good luck :)

My dad bought his when it came out and he had same problem... it is hardware problem and he took it to repair many times and all they did was software reinstall and diagnostics... nothing changed, its too expensive to open waterproof phone and seal it again... its still in repair and as soon it gets back, it goes there again because still... nothing changes... sony has no good service here in Finland so there is nowhere to call and they arent gonna give him new phone until it has been on repair many many times... each repair takes a month to finish so he gets new Z2 in a year... in that time Z3 is out and Z2 price is down to half of what he paid of it then... only way is to return the phone, but its the same, they just do software reinstall and do diagnostics and record audio, and thats fine, but they arent gonna call anyone to hear the real problem... and then they just wont take the phone back... tried...

Hi guys,

i have the same problem since first day i bought that piece of crap, it was my favorite phone of all, but after first two calls when friends told me that they cant hear me well and im "pixeling" i was little bit disappointed...Same as no signal, which i had on my HTC One M7 very rare...But with Sony tooks long time to find signal, only thing i have found is to open Quick menu from top and Disable/Enable LTE, immediatelly after that i get signal again...

But call quality still sucks, HTC had noise canceling too, it worked great. I replaced Z2 for brand new one and still the same issues...

Got prototype with same fault... I replaced motherboard(from non prototype), replaced main flex cable(where mic is), replaced speaker box(mic sits on it), removed membrane from mic hole... still same problem.

Then i by "accident" tested phone without back cover and everytihing was fine, no echo... i was happy that problem was fixed(didnt know how)... assembled it again with back cover -> first call i made -> same sh*t :(

So... long story short... if area with microphone(check pic) is covered by any thing(even table) the other person can hear his ovn echo but if this area isnt covered(sit on table and this area is 1cm from edge of table) there is no echo at all!!!

Did someone manage to solve it completeley?

i had this call quality problem with my phone since i bought it in May ! i was about to send the phone back for "repair" then i allowed it to update to

.314 ever since this i haven't had one person say they cant hear me ! before , apparently it sounded like you were across the other side of the room or the other party had feed back. i would have to hold the microphone so close to my mouth .. even then people would say they could hear. so update to 17.1.2.A.0.314 and i hope that will sort your problems like it did mine :good:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruffruff:
i am also having this problem and i have updated to 314.

just out of curiously, how many of you having this problem are rooted and have a case?

I am rooted. I have both a silicon type case which cover all the edges except the places that shouldn't be covered and a slim case that cover the sides but expose quite a fair bit on the top and bottom.

I have tried with both cases and either it doesn't affect or both affects the quality. using the phone without case sometimes has the poor voice quality issue as well ..

this is really driving me nuts.

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

quick update. i download a voice record app and tried.

it seems that if i hold the phone on my left hand, at certain portion of the recording, my voice disappear (like drown or stuffed by pillow)

but if i use my right hand to hold the phone the voice recorded is clear throughout.

just to illustrate further on holding posture:

4 fingers on one side of the phone and the other side of the phone, its bottom corner is resting comfortably at the fleshy part of palm directly below the thumb.

anyone else can confirm if this is also true on your phone?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweets11:
I have had this problem rooted and unrooted (mostly unrooted stock and upgraded).

Anecdotally the issue got better with the latest update but definitely still a problem.

I have had 3x Z2 replacement handsets now... all with this problem. Headset mode, perfect, otherwise the call quality has been average to horrible (echo's, noise, unreadable) from my mic only.

On my 4th replacement Sony must allow me to switch to another handset and refund me.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unni_kmr:
I believe I have this problem. I mostly use my phone for calls through Hangouts and nobody complained. However, almost every time when I call customer care they had a hard time understanding me. Since I am in a different country currently, I just assumed it was because of my accent. Last week, I had a call with a friend through phone and he was saying he couldn't understand clearly either. Today, when I called customer care through office phone, they understood me fine!

My phone has the latest update and is on factory ROM. I have a tempered glass protector on front and back. When I tried Easy Voice Recorder to record my sound, it sounded fine. I have 'Microphone noise suppression' and 'Speaker voice enhancement' disabled. Equalizer is set to 'Normal'.
