Sony Xperia Z2 terrible outgoing calls quality

hey there,

since i got my z2 last year my friends have been complaining that they couldn't hear me clearly. i sound 'like im underwater' muffled or as if i was using it on loud speaker from the other side of the room. 

i didn't realise how bad it was unltil i left myself a voicemail on my home phone the other day. i called from a quiet office with full bars 4g and it sounded like i was driving a car and some bits were completely missing.

although the sound is crystal clear on any cheapo headset and the in-phone voice recording is perfect. i tried my sim in 3 different phones and the quality was always 10/10, but not on z2

i did multiple system restores and disabled mic noise suppression but no joy.

i recently booked a guru in my local shop but they only replaced my sim card and said that it should be ok now.

it's not.

what should i do?

 

thanks

Certainly sounds like a faulty mic and Sony is the best place to get support.

The things you've done are the things I would suggest so not sure what else you can try.
One thing though, what's the quality like on 2g? If ok it would at least rule out the mic.
I would personally go to xperia support and request a fix.

Just tested on 2g and there's no difference.

Agreed, something up with mic.
Send to Sony for repair, i would not send to O2 for repair if I'm honest as I am not sure they can guarantee the ip rating post service.
Plus they'd just tell you it's water damaged.
