Sony Z3 Compact quiet on loudspeaker

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi guys.

I have recently upgraded my phone to the Z3 Compact.

I really like the phone but noticed it's quiet when on loudspeaker and even when on full volume and someone calls it's still bit quiet, comparing to my old iPhone 5s and our new Note 4 anyway...

Can anyone help please? And I'm sorry if the question was asked before, I did search the forum but couldn't find anything. But as MI5 knows, I can be bit blonde sometimes wink

Cheers in advance!!

It's an audio bug through the notification system which includes ringtones and alerts.
Until the fix is released the best "fix"(not really as they're still quiet) is to set the following in sound settings.
Clear audio - off
Dynamic normalise on
S force front surround on
You get a increase too if your notification is stored on the sd card.

Hi you.

Have you a case or screen shield on it ?

Can you try someone you know with one or a shop demo model to compare them to see if it is quiet or just standard.

I'm not sure how he'll know if your model is quiter than it 'should' be !

That's why I suggested trying a demo model in a HighStreet shop.

Anyway I hope you get sorted.

You're Welcome.

If it's noticeably quiter then remember you have 14 days to swap it out ,so keep that in mind.
