Hmm....i've got the same problem as well.

friends telling me i sound distant.

did "dirty flash" as well as fresh install....no diff
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
Same. Did fresh install. This issue must affect some phones/users.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Nobody67:
I have a problem, Sygic, GPS, force closed when I try to search a destination, anybody else have this issue?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Sooo,

I will give you an add on who will restore Z2 sound enhancement ;)

Personally I don't have any problem with calling, did various testing and no complains from called people. I have also recorded on my own voicemail and was able to hear me clearly.

All of this will be better in eXistenZ Ultimate v4.0.0 with libraries really made for the Xperia Z2 :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Nobody67:
It was a problem from the material design theme.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Actually...I have sound problem from the beginning.

On stock and on eXistenZ.

I tried with different fw, kernels, sound mods and only thing what actually helped is -to put device closer to cheek/mouth.

It's software problem, I'm 100% sure and I hope it'll be fixed in next fw.

I tested microphone and it recorded perfectly loud sound, so it's not hardware issue.

Why some of you don't have problems - don't know, why some of you have problems only on eXistenZ - I don't know.

I'm talking for my device and don't want to say it's same on all devices.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] crazynewfie:
I can say I have no problem with people hearing me clearly. I have tested this with multiple people and have they have all said I sound fine. So it's strange that some have this issue and others don't.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cdorepm:
+1 here.. very frustrating.. i cannot record using recording apps too

pls give us some idea what is the reason for this prob.. everything is awesome except this mic issue

tq
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
Well , for some users it's working and for some, it's not. So, it'd be a bit hard to tell. One can hope that the upcoming version of the rom will fix it as it will have Z2 sound instead of Z3 sound.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Same here. Did a perfectly clean flash but still people moan about distant sounding and scratches.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shareonline:
Just to maybe offer som info from myself. I have had to adjust to getting a Z2. I usually just hold my phone up to my ear and talk, this results in a slightly diagonal hold, where the mic is about 5cm from my mouth.

People complain that they can't hear me often, and then I just take the phone flat to my cheek so the mic is 1cm from my mouth, and then no complaints at all.

I haven't testet turning off noise cancelation because I just adjust my hold. But I think maybe the problem for me could indeed be noise cancelation that is simply too powerful..

Other than this, great rom and looking forward to v4.0 :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ice_lander:
Same issue with the mic for me also, [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] i can upload few recs of calls , my voice is sounding like from a deep cave, but also i made test with sending voice notes in whats app and there the rec. Quality was perfect , very loud very clear,so for sure something is wrong with in call mic sens.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:

Hey, is there a way to translate the things like the power menu?

per se its not a problem tbh, but it is kinda annoying having the most of the OS in german and that in english.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Before the launch of eXistenZ v4.0.0 I will give strings to translate so all people will be able to translate for their language.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] KuroTheBang:
Wow, that's what I call good contribution and a good dev! :) :good::good:

If you need people to translate them into german or italian, I can help you as volunteer :)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] NetSkill:
I am going to try it i let you know asap.. Thank you

Edit: just tried, still the same :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] venom_hvx:
Hi!

i've installed this and tested, people say that the voice its still low and the quality its worse. :( is a little bit mufled!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
what is this sizzling about voice quality,i dont have this problem and everything is perfect.

Maybe you all with problems must go stock first then to existenz?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kersey:
I did have an issue with a caller hearing me on the other end of the phone but after flashing the baseband and kernel of the latest UK firmware via Flashtool all seems to be perfect
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
If you read some of the posts from users complaining about the voice quality (including me), you'd see that we have done a fresh install which is flashing a stock rom first.

Might use your suggestion. Thanks for posting.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rinxas:
Sorry for the bit "off-topic" question but I'm also having those call issues.

Can I flash a .402 baseband from my country (Portugal) on top of 3.1.5?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Lawliet918:
has anybody here tried to connect their dualshock 4 controller? tried using mine but was just stuck at "pairing..." o_O
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cdorepm:
Nice but is it possible for d6502 model? Hmm i'll see later.. I will try install uk firmware, then install existenz back but will choose the right model. Ive tried going back to stock vietnam fw but the problm still exist..maybe there is some files missing after installing this rom. I hope that missing is exists in uk fw. Or is it the same?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Beetle84:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Really doubt that baseband and even kernel have anything with sound quality.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
I am starting to think that some people are paranoid, they have read that it may have problems with sound and... They have now also problems.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] strongylad28:
I've asked before but unfortunately no luck. Does anyone know how to get rid of the transparency on the pop up boxes? The text at the top of the box has a transparent background and it's a pain to read with my theme
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 3f1f37:
Been reading through the thread and it seems that the call audio volume is hit and miss.

I have a C6503, no in call audio issues on 3.1.5.

Only flashed this ROM no additional baseband flashing or anything like that.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Hi all, new user here.

Kinda off topic, but I'd be more than happy if anyone could help me with this.

Tried this rom and thought it was great but didn't keep it bacause I just got the device and I wanted to use the stock Z2 experience for a while before switching to something else, lol.

I really dislike the white settings color on stock rom, and I'd like to ask, is there any way to have my settings themed black in stock rom, like the settings of this rom?

Already tried to copy SecmSettings.apk and deleted the odex but that didn't work. :(

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Yeah...it's a virus ;)

Solution is to hold device better and everything is OK.

I now I'm doing like that.

I had occasions when someone said he can't hear me...then I realized I'm holding my device way too far from my face.

Z2 is big device with lousy mic position and it's very easy to cover mic with finger or to push device too far from face...

Maybe there are mic problems, I'm not saying there aren't but I know one thing - this is solution, at least for now.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] venom_hvx:
hi!

I've flashed .314 kernel and baseband only and tried with one call and seems a lot better now. thats was the feedback from the person i've talked.

Im gonna do some tests to confirm. The "Ok Google" responds better now too.

regards
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ice_lander:
Tried the fix, i can say its noticeble better , the other side is hearing me clearer, but there is still diff. between when i record voice note or whats app voice msg , and in call mic sens. [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] , if there is a way 2levels higher sensivity then the fix, it will be perfekt i think, also i am producer & dj , if you need some advice or questions about the sound quality,kbps`s, let me know. Thanks for your work , once again the best ROM for z2 and great support from you
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] darkylight:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], just a minor error found today.

well am unable to edit contact detail from my phone, and only the sim ones, the numbers that are saved on phone are OK, but the numbers saved on sim cards are not editable.

anyone facing this problem or just me!

what should i do?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Could you please explain to me exactly which flashtool tickboxes to tick in doing this? I want to flash my local baseband
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xarfrost:
Well, this is fishy. Ive been using this rom for a day, and loving it, except that calls are disappointing. Im not blaming the maker of this rom though. I flashed the rom after wiping data/cache from stock .314.. First caller was my dad, and he and i cannot hear each other, im not sure why. He always has that problem everytime he calls me. But he doesnt have any probs hearing other callers, likewise on my side too.

Im wiping again and flashing stock .314 rom of my carrier, and flash this rom, and i will see. Will report once im done. Also I am experiencing this:

1. No X-reality in videos

2. DSEE HX - how does this work? I tried ticking on and off and no difference in audio quality.

Good job still!

My phone looks 99% Z3 now! cool! :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ParanormalBat:
Are you sure you are using this ROM? There is an option in AROMA when you are installing the ROM to choose Dark theming or light theming.

Just reflash the ROM without wiping data and select the options.

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

1 - I think there was a fix or it has been fixed in the 1.3.5 update, but I'm not sure

2 - DSEE HX requires a converter in the device itself or a special headset must be used that converts itself.

It has not been ported to the Z2 (due to libs not working).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beniamin24:
clearly there is a problem with the sound in callquality, tryed all, editing mixer_paths, flashing your "fix" but still if one works the other doesnt, for example if i manage to get a solution to the bad call volume i loose volume in the speaker and so on and so forth. For me all i want is to have volume to the earpiece when i talk, volume in headphones when i listen to music and volume in the speakers and mic fix. Its hard i know but how can we reach a working fix? [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION], [MENTION=2112104]auras76[/MENTION], [MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Wait a 4.4.4. and hope it'll be fixed ;)

Really, I'm not sarcastic, I'm waiting new fw and I hope the problem is there.

Try this - record greeting msg on your answering machine but hold phone like you hold it when you are taking to someone.

Then play that msg through speakers and through ear speaker.

You'll see, sound will be loud and clear in both speaker.

I really think that we have problems in current fw.

It's a bit confusing because some users claims they don't have mic problems on stock...but I tested many things, variants and firmwares and I had same results on all.

Lets wait few more days and we'll see is there any improvements on 4.4.4...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sensei_sai:
I may be lucky, But I've got nothing you guys are describing... All my volumes are just nice, and no problem in calls...

There might be something you have done wrong...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Here's the stock Z2 sound enhancement files: http://www.mediafire.com/view/8wdeenr7zw4lc38

Flash this and use settings.apk from eXistenZ Ultimate 2.0.0

If no change with calling you will know that problem comes from Sony or your provider but not from the rom.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Or...you just know how to hold device while talking. ;)

As I said...when I'm holding device like we should hold it - everybody can hear me without any problems...

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

I'm very happy with latest eXistenZ.

Battery life is great, in call vol great...and when I'm holding my device like normal person - everyone can hear me :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sensei_sai:
Yeah, may be :D

I agree with your comment on battery life! I easily can use my phone 2 days, sometime more... but I have a different usage than yours, I play alot more games :D So my SOT is a bit less than yours but I reach more than 5 hours, what is great!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Usually...I have around 5 h of screen time.

I'm constantly on web or Tapatalk and that drains battery more...

Still...great ROM.

I always liked eXistenZ because niaboc don't want to change important system files and, if you ask me, that's good.

Sony know how to optimise firmware and I like that niaboc realize that he don't have to change that... :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Lawliet918:
sorry to repeat my quandary but i just have two questions that i need some answers to:

1. i can't connect to my dualshock 4 controller. i was trying to pair it but it's just stuck at "pairing..." message.

2. the options (i.e. bus, flight, etc.) for my MDR-NC13 noise-cancelling headset is not present. shouldn't it automatically detect that i have MDR-NC13 as soon as i plug it in?

i appreciate any response regarding these issues. many thanks!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ParanormalBat:
I think after you connect your headset, you have to go to Settings > Sound > Audio Settings then tap on noise cancelling (and choose the noise cancelling headset from the headphones menu)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Lawliet918:
yeah, i did that. but as you can see in the settings screenshot, it's still not recognizing it (i.e. the grayed out setting for noise cancelling). i'm pretty sure that as soon as you plug it in, a pop up option should open asking you if you want to activate noise cancellation and what type of environment (i.e. bus, plane, etc.)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ParanormalBat:
Try turning clear audio off.

I think [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] will have a better idea of this. I don't have the NC headphones so I can't try this.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Lawliet918:
as you can see in my screenshot, the clearaudio+ is turned off. but that's okay. i'll just wait for [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]'s response. i appreciate your help though. thanks!

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
Thank you so much master. I can confirm that its heaps better as well.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Could you read my post again please?

I clearly said I went back to stock rom.

I just want to make the dark themed settings from this rom work on stock if possible.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Yes it can work.

Stock fw has to be rooted, deodexed and with superuser.

If you have all that just copy settings.apk from rom zip /existenz/dark/system_full/priv-app

to your /system, change permission and move it to /system/priv-app.

Restart amd that's it.

BUT...

eXistenZ have many features and shortcuts in that settings so you'll have to add those apps to to have fully working settings app.

For example : xposed framework and few modules, new system update app, performance control...maybe I forgot something but I think you get the point.

Just check settings app and you'll see which apps you should copy to your /system as well.

---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------

Yes you can but you won't get anything what you don't have now.

If you have problems with LTE or something similar - try to check Internet settings (APN).

But if you for some reason want to flash baseband anyway, you can flash 402 but it's better to use latest one.

It's new...

But don't ever flash another fw kernel (402 on 314 for eg). - only kernel, whole ROM/fw is OK to downgrade or upgrade, just don't flash kernel only from flashtool.

That could ruin your day ;)

Boot Sound

Boot sound is disabled on this rom, or is not working

I tested with my backup bootanimation.zip I made in stock .314. It contains the .mp3 but in this rom there is no sound. I tried toggling the startup sound option in settings > sound, but it does nothing. I like the sony sound :) any fixes?

Hello. I came from version 3.1.0 with white persistent google search bar on top. After upgrading to 3.1.5 the search bar became transparent with thin borders. I would like to have the white back.

Secondly, if i dont like what i customized in aroma, can i just flash it again and redo the customization? Does it make a conflict or problems?

Thanks!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Not sure how the framework works but if I use settings from 2.0.0, won't the Bluetooth unlock disappear? Can't I JUST flash the sound enhancements?

Anyone who have microphone problems in call app tried to disable smart calling?

Day by day I'm convinced that the main problem is in SemcPhone or Contact app but I'll test calling without smart calling feature.

One person said it's better now (she heard me great) but the other one said it's still the same.

When I'm using Viber or Hangouts to call someone I don't have mic problems and everyone can hear me well.

But when I'm calling or receiving call in stock call app I have to be extremely careful how I'm holding my device...

If it's not "pressed" on my face the other side can't hear me...

I'll continue to test, app by app, one by one and I hope that'll eventually help.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rodritank:
First of all, thanks for the awesome work. Been using it since last night and so far I love the features.

I got some questions, tho (sorry if they've been asked already):

- My device wasn't listed during Aroma' setup. Mine's 6543 and I selected 6503. Is there any features or bugs known for my device?

- The phone got really hot when I was simply browsing the internet with the AOSP browser. Known issue or something new?

I guess that's all. Once again, thanks for all the efforts!

I also just found out Quick Reboot works perfectly on this ROM.

I had another problem where sometimes, when I press the volume buttons to control volume, and media volume pops up instead of ringtone volume. Only way to solve it is to reboot.

Not a problem with this ROM (had it on almost all ROMS including Stock), but thought you might know about this.
