[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panecondoin:
Hey there!

I have recently purchased a new Z3C and think it is indeed a really great phone. However, one thing that really bugs me is a constant and very noticable static noise during calls and only perceivable when using the earpice, not e.g. headphones. You can hear it all the time, especially when pausing the conversation.

Thisis the second device I have that happen, so I would really be interested if everyone else's sound via earphone is clear or if a bit of static is normal. Am I being paranoid?

I switched off all the options for "optimization" in the call settings, btw.

Cheers

Hi,

I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy. First i thought i got a phone with failure so i send it to the repair service but they were convincing me that it's normal. I couldn't belive such a thing can be normal so i insisted on a phone replacement. After writing mails directly to Sony, replacement was approved but guess what - replacement phone had the same issue. I also checked couple of phones in shops and you could hear static noice in earspeaker on all of them. However some people on forums say they can't hear anything so i'm still not sure if this problem exists only in some series. I googled much on this subject and found that Sony had many issues with audio/speaker/volume in previous Z models but it seems it was solved with firmwares. However i believe this is a hardware problem of earspeaker they use. I even found u can order a new one on ebay. All in all, as you said phone is great but this thing is annoying as hell. I tried many other brands to see if they have any sound noise and i can't hear anything. Sad story :(

Regards,

Nino

Quick reaction to other ppl. Ppl are deaf!

Now not so hot blooded :). Happened to me many times. I have (thank God) still good hearing.

Most of the ppl I know do not care, get used or even do no hear this sound, OR are not able to distinguish it.

So even if they tell you, they do not hear it, till you can use their phone and test it next to your, that means nothing....

(This is not my first phone where I can hear something that 99 percent ppl cant hear, even on mine... luckily there is few that can so I know I am not going crazy :D )

Now the second point is to prove it and if it really is not just how the phone should sound.

Anyways what I tried and made me nervous was the service tests in the Service Menu *#*#7378423#*#*

All of these Primary Mic , Secondary Mic and Earphone tests sound horrible .

Serious crackling, buzzing on the Mics and Earphone, like I am used to from the Phone Call , static noise...

Funny thing however, ppl say they can hear me good and the video records also with good quality. So I do not understand how both of the mics sound so incredibly bad in the test. Well they both go through the same Earphone where I have the static noise, so the earphone could really be faulty, but I never hear the crackling, buzzing cut ofs in the call...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panecondoin:
Update: Seems to be normal

Just an update:

I have checked another two devices, different mobile providers as well, and all of them had the same static when using the earphone. No such static when using a headset, though. It seems to be normal. I have checked my old (Xperia P) and there's static as well, although less noticeable due to a weaker/more quiet earpiece.

I also have decided to just go with it, since you can understand everything loud and clear and every other aspect of the Z3C is just that good.

Thanks for reporting everybody. I, too, thought I was going a bit crazy! Enjoy your devices everybody :good::good::good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Buddy can you go to a bathroom, or somewhere without much sound. And try the Service Menu Tests.

*#*#7378423#*#* in dialer. ?

And test the Primary Mic, Secondary Mic , Earphone.

Thanks :)

No proplem

I am nowhere nearly silent enough to check it, but will do when I come home this afternoon. Will report back ASAP!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
I'd also like to hear your results. I was about to get myself one of these phones today as they are a good price at the moment. But having a constant noise in the background on calls would bug the heck out of me! I don't want to have to use a headset, hate em. I can deal with some problems as ANY phone you buy these days has some problem, there is no perfect phone out there. I'm currently browsing the web and XDA for problems associated with the Z3 Compact, but so far this is a biggy for me, that and maybe the purple/pink hue on the camera in some pictures.

How loud are these noises in comparison to the volume of the person on the other end of a call?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
In my case, I can hear the person clearly, still with some hissing. Only in silent passages it becomes really "visible".

Interesting enough I just tried something :D . I put the headset in a different way on my ear....

I think what I am getting is the effect of when you put your hand on your ear, seashell stuff noise ...

There is a definite hissing, static noise but becomes less apparent depending on the placement of the headset without loosing the quality of the voice, or loudness.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
Does it make you wish you had chosen another phone?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
I do not think I will be ever satisfied with any phone I had.... I found issues on all of them...

Till now no. I tried the sound recorder from sony, the sound came out ok. Video also seemed ok.

So if there is an issue, is most probably with the Earphone. But as was said in another threads, other phones have this also, to which extent depends on many factors...

To answer. Not yet :). I have it only for a week. Will see how much I get used to it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orcalator:
I also kept the phone but i find this thing very annoying. Few days ago i talked on a phone in a silent office room and it really sucks, u constantly hear sshhhhh.. Static noise is just too loud. I tried other brands like iphone, my old Nokia, samsung and there was absolutly no noise. I even tried Sony Xperia Z1 from friend and it is also noise free. I would buy earspeaker on ebay and replace current one only if i'd knew that will solve the problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panecondoin:
The static noise does not interfere with the clarity of the received voice. You can hear the caller loud and clear. You will notice the static noise more as the ambient sound around you decreases. I for one have noticed, that I also tend to somehow ignore the static noise a couple of seconds in on a call.

[MENTION=751851]PAGOT[/MENTION] I have tested everything you said and, besides said static noise, I could reproduce the issues you reported with the primary and secondary microphones: a very underwhelming performance of both of the microphones. Cracking, static sound. None of the possible options in the calls settings menu changed anything for the better or worse.

Strangely enough, the sound quality of my calls have been reported to be loud and clear. I also tried Sony's audio recorder, with flawless results :confused: Makes no sense.

After the new tests I was being confused, again. But, as both of you already put forth, no phone is perfect and I will stay with the Z3C because of the nice features of the device along its very competetive price. I love to forget about charging my phone regardless of heavy usage all day long. The phone stays. Everybody responding here did a great job sharing their experiences! Good work:good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Yeah, well my wife has an iPhone 5s and also that thing is silent... no noise...

Am currently factory resetting as that will be the first thing they gonna ask me if I did ... I think I will send it to repair.

Even if this an sw issue or new one will have it too, till somebody/enough ppl complain I doubt they will fix it. :)

Would be nice if you could report if sending it to repair fixes the issue, should you actually do it and remember ;)

I already passed all procedure with repair service couple of months ago, and it was not a very nice experience. The worst thing was that guy in repair service tried to make a fool out of me, like "nothing is wrong with this phone, i don't hear any noise". I mean come on, all people i asked to listen the sound heard noise, and he pretends not to hear anything. However i insisted on repair and then agony begon. After a couple of days they returned me phone with explanation that they made software adjusments and that all is fine now. Yeah sure.. it was the same ofc. I didn't take the phone but insisted on repair again. After a couple of days they said that they replaced earspeaker and that all is fine now. Yeah sure... same thing again. Then they said that they can't do anything more while guys in repair service were looking me like "again this crazy man" and made stupid jokes like "you can leave the phone here if it's not good for you". Total idiots. That really pissed me off and i contacted local Sony support in my country (Croatia, Europe). After exchanging 2 mails with them, explaining what is going on, they agreed to give me replacement phone. Unfortunately new phone had a same issue so i'm now stuck with it. I hope you will not have all this trouble but now you know what can you expect. I also wrote about this at: talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Z3-Dual/static-noise-on-xperia-z3-speaker/m-p/924466/highlight/false
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Can totally understand that ... was more times in a situation like this ...

A safe bet is to argue with the Service Menu tests. Microphone and Secondary Microphone and Earphone and also Stereo Speaker.

Microphones sound both bad...crackling, buzzing, static

Earphone - static noise.

Stereo Speaker - upper one is on and down one is hissing.

They can't argue with that... no matter how much they try... and its their test ...

No matter how much they want ...

(You do not have to tell them , that ppl can hear you nicely :D, or that video/audio recordings sound better)

Kinda thinking that this is might be a software issue? Heard theories about artificially adding some tone/noise to the call, so you know you are on call or whatever. So the filters or whatever might be set wrong. Or do we really think they would use a bad quality product?

Btw the guys over at CM or other ROMS do not have a fix for this?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orcalator:
On some forum someone mentioned that it could be software gain/ loudness problem. It sounds like someone turned speaker volume up to 200% so static noise is so loud but in the same time voice/music sound is on normal level. As i said in one of mine previous posts, Sony had problems with audio in some previous Z models too and they solved it with firmware update. Hope they will do something with this too - if it's not a hardware problem. Would be nice to have someone from Sony to comment this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
If you do ever find a solution for this or Sony release a fix please let us know. I'm going to hold out on buying a new phone for the time being and put up with my old Galaxy S2 in the hope something happens between now and then. I'm starting to lean towards a Galaxy S5, but I really like what Z3C has to offer, just not the static...

*Fingers crossed* and best of luck!

I too have this issue and it's really annoying, my dad got the same model and he has no noise.

I should mention the first thing I did was to root it, back up TA, unlock bootloader and install CM 12.1.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Stupid question, does your dad say he has no issue or you used his phone to listen to it?

Anyways thanks for the info, so custom rom doesnt fix the issue. Seriously HW issue?

I had no time to bring mine yet for repairs...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panecondoin:
Not a stupiud question at all.

My girlfriend got another Z3c, and it has the static noise...

Getting mixed feelings with this purchase decision.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAfj56:
Good question actually, I should have clarified. I tried it with his phone and it was very clear, it was even better than I expected.

Now I regret being so hasty with CM to be honest because there have been other issues that I haven't been able to solve like I can't access my calendar (it keeps saying "only one CM account is allowed" and the google calendar option isn't even there in my google account setting) and for some reason I think my battery is draining faster than it should but I think that has more to do with my amount of apps than the ROM itself even if it could be contributing factor.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Thanks so much, you filled me with hope :). If there are really good devices out there, hopefully mine can get repaired as well.

In my previous phones LG lines, they have a constant crackling when data on and etc ... and nothing NOTHING can fix those issues, its just bad design. But its feint, really something that 99.99999 % ppl will never notice ,and the 0.00001% can live with it. Only I had a problem with it :D.

But confirming that there are good devices out there means I can get it repaired and chances are it will, not like the stories where ppl say they are on their third phone with the same issue....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAfj56:
I'll probably return mine as well. The sound is clear so I can hear what people say but it's very annoying.

I was about to reflash to stock rom so I could return my phone but I thought maybe I should just try to update CM. I updated to the latest Nightly for Z3C and voilá! The noise disappeared like magic. In case anyone care the version is called "cm-12.1-20150514-NIGHTLY".
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
Thats great news! So it was a software issue. This would have sold the phone for me if I hadn't read of other issues like spontaneous screen cracking ...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Could you tell me which version you had on it before? Did not see anything in the change log that would hint such a fix specially for Z3C :)

EDIT: Nvm found it in the CM thread :)

Is this the same issue we had? Or CM had its own sound issues?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAfj56:
Which version was it? I installed the 2015-05-05 version but I believe I had it updated to either 07 or 09.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Still would need to know if this is a cm own issue or the same thing we have :). Somebody who has access to both could test it to confirm.

BUMP

So, I got my replacement... Well they exchanged the MB. But even scuff marks on the outer shell disappeared, the phone looks new.

Anyway, same issue.

Can anybody answer, if they had the static noise in the calls on stock and they switched to some custom ROM, that the issue vanished?

I have z3c. I definitely hear the noise (that's why I came here), but I have 2 headphones.

The one with better sound quality (deep bass) has the noise but the one with with lesser quality doesn't hear the noise, even at high volume.

So mostly has to do withe the headphone.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylebrauch:
Anyone else with sideloaded apps experience their key/mouse not working since the 1.5 update? (IE: Xfinity TV Go / HBO Go, all of the "must-have-a-keyboard-and-mouse" apps). Same goes for Firefox and Chrome, browser ability. Now it has signed me out of TV Go / HBO / other sideloaded (content) apps and will NOT allow me to access the login fields to even get back in.

I'm able to open the app(s), but the mouse buttons do nothing when trying to select something / menus and I'm often unable to esc out. Also, I've noticed almost all of the old key command abilities (alt+tab, FN+down, etc) are completely disabled machine-wide.

What the hell happened and how do I repair this? I purchased FTV over other set-top devices specifically for these certain apps. I could've just used my playstation if I wanted an expensive Netflix player.

Good suggestion - however, it is off.

I guess I can summarize it as the mouse buttons do nothing machine-wide. Every app that previously accepted mouse-click input no longer does. Are you guys still able to click things?

Also, I can tab between input fields (username, password, etc) to type, but tabbing to the "submit" or "done" (etc) button and hitting enter doesn't react either.

Everyone: I've figured it out and it's now a totally different (albeit more concise) issue.

Someone on another message board said this:

I swapped out the K400 hub for my wireless Logitech mouse I use on my desktop computer and sure enough, works like a dream again.

It was totally a driver thing. Well.. now I either need to get a new key/mouse combo that'll function correctly or learn how to reinstall the drivers for the K400.

Obviously, the easy way out is to buy a new combo and get rolling right away - but how would I go about the proper way (reinstalling mouse drivers to the Fire TV)?

Do you have to be rooted to reload mouse drivers, or is that something that can be sideloaded in?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
There are no "drivers" to install or reinstall. The USB input drivers are part of the kernel. Having something plugged in or not plugged in while doing the update has no effect on them.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
unlike pc's roms require all drives to be hardcoded into the rom

if one single driver is not 100% correct the device fail to boot and may become a brik

partly upgrades can be don by changing non core and driver part of the rom

if it's possible it will be a topic in the forum for your device

you will read about it

also 8125 & 8525 are not htc names and devices are sold as sooo many names so stating nr's that one reseller use is useless

and require people to look what those numbers to know what htc device people are asking about

S-Pen Command for all AOSP and unofficial ROM

Using S-Pen stylus on a rooted custom ROM which doesn't have S-Pen support like AOSP or MIUI.

Tested on my n7000 with Lollipop 5.1 NightOwl Beta 2

Open quick menu on removal S-pen does not work, just remove the S-pen and press the button twice to activate S-Pen Command :D

Best app features:

- take a full-screenshot holding stylus button while it is touching the screen

- take a cropped-screenshot (with post-editing) holding stylus button while draw the selection on screen

- edit screenshots taken using your stylus and its specific SPen Image Editor

- open a QuickMenu on stylus button single press (like stock Samsung "Air Command" feature)

- choose up to 6 shortcuts on the QuickMenu

- choose up to 5 shortcuts to be shown in a Notification Shortcut bar

- switch keyboard when stylus is removed or inserted in its slot

- show cursor when stylus is near the screen

- choose a custom image as cursor (with also scale and offset to centre it)

- disable finger-touchscreen to avoid accidental hand-touch while drawing

- disable hardware keys (MENU and BACK) to avoid accidental hand-touch while drawing

- quick-double-press of stylus button executes a "BACK" action

- draw Gestures (holding stylus button while drawing on screen) to start Apps (or, in future, to take other actions)

- Lollipop 5.x support!!!!!

- choose a list of apps that keep the screen on when the stylus is removed

- turn on screen on stylus removal

- choose a list of apps that disable gestures and special stylus features (to use only specific app gestures)

- many graphic personalizations about menu, cursor and gesture

- IT NOT DRAINS BATTERY because no any poll is done at a specific interval
