Xperia Z2 phone microphone not sensitive enough

Hi I recently moved from my Samsung G4 to the Xperia Z2 and I am finding that the microphone is not sensitive enough for my needs. I do a lot of recorded statements and dictation using the Philips App for my phone. So I purchased, for another $70.00 Canadian, the STM10 and I am still encountering the same problem. Is there a fix for this. 
This is my only concern I have with this phone, but it could be a deal breaker. 

Thank you for your reply. I have tried everything from turning off the NR setting, to applying 'clear audio' in sounds affects and activating the 'dynamic normailizer'. It simply does nothing that enables my secretary to transcribe my statements and depositions without being at maxiumum volume. It's not too bad when I dictate, because the microphone is six inches away, although she still has to keep it at maximum volume; but in a statement it is about three feet, often with background noise, the sound is just too faint. You should be able to hear a pin drop from ten feet away! 
This is so basic, I can't believe Sony does not have a fix. I love this phone for it's camera and battery life, but I never even thought something as basic as a microphone level could be missed. Frustrating does not even begin to describe it, This should be as simple as a setting adjustment.... come on Sony, help me stay loyal, this is a deal breaker. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Touch not sensitive enough for playing games

    I have had two brand new Sony Xperia Z3 phones and just about to hand the second one back to the shop as it will only respond on games by either pressing firmly or by swiping. The menu on games is also affected. Both worked fine for four days before this problem so maybe an update is to blame???  Games like Monkey Flight and Bike Mayhem are infuriating as they rely on a light touch response. Other games like Bejeweled Blitz work fine as they rely on a swiping movement mostly.
    As i said the phones were both only four days old before this bug came along.
    Can anyone shed any light on it before i go back to Apple?
    Thanks Peeps.

    Did you tested the apps, keep in mind that you have another Android phone, let say an Xperia Z2 or Z1 or even a Nexus phone and the game might work on those phones but have bugs on the Z3, again, what you described does point out to be a game issue, not a phone issue. You can also uninstall and re-install the games but again, test the digitizer/touchscreen with those apps.

  • Track pad not sensitive enough

    My Macbook alum has been working well for the last year or two. Within the last couple months, the track pad has become increasingly less sensitive...clicking on it does not always invoke a selection as intended even when a clear click sound is heard. I find i need to click much harder than standard use to get it to respond.
    I checked the control panel and played around with the settings several times with no improvement.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance!

    I had the same problem, clicking with the track pad became unbearably bad, it wasn't sensitive at all.
    I found that if you take off the bottom and remove the battery on the track pad there is a screw, its a triangle shape.
    Tightening that screw raised the trackpad (slightly, don't over do it) and by tightening that screw the trackpad's clicking came back to normal.
    Free fix, worth a shot. Don't strip the screw though...

  • Touchscreen for XNV-770BT not sensitive enough

    So, I installed this head unit about 5 months ago and the touchscreen seems to be losing it's sensitivity.  Five months ago, the sensitivity was not all that great, but now, for the most part, I have to push down pretty hard on the screen to engage a "button".  Is there a way to fix or adjust this?
    Thank you in advance

    Try to calibrate the touch panel of the display by following the steps below.
    Touch panel calibration is required if the touching position does not correspond with the proper item.
    1 Touch “Source List” then  .
    2 Touch “General.” The general setting menu appears.
    3 Touch   to scroll, then touch “Touch Panel Adjust.”
       The setting display appears.
    4 Touch the targets in sequence.  The calibration is complete.
       To cancel calibration, touch “Cancel.”

  • Caps lock button not sensitive enough

    I just bought a new macbook air , and I found that the caps lock button not as sensitive as other buttons, what should I do now ?
    I have to press a bit longer and harder to make it detected.
    thanks!

    I'm not sure if you've resolved this issue but I solved the problem by removing the charger plug, then the battery.  While the battery is out, push the power button.  Reinstall the battery and reconnect power.  When the notebook rebooted, the caps lock light and num lock lights were once again working.

  • Iphone 4 not sensitive enough?

    I try ending a call and I push the end button and it takes a couple times before it responds, same thing with every other button I push....PLEASEEEE helpppp

    If your dock is connected to an amplifier/speaker system try this:
    With your phone sitting in the dock, try to increase the volume, using the volume control buttons of the phone. Set it to max and you should have more sound coming out of your speakers.

  • Flex 2-14 Laptop Keyboard keys not sensitive enough

    Hi there, As the title says my Lenovo laptop seems to have an issue where I really have to bash some of the keys to get them to work properly, specifically the alphabet keys. I have tried updating BIOS and checking out the keyboard settings but it still seems to happen occasionally. I don't want to send the whole machine back because of the keyboard and am unsure that it would be accepted as part of the warranty as most of the keys seem to work fine! If anyone has any suggestions to make some keys more sensitive I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Grant

    Hi, yes having exactly the same issue syptoms as you hve described. Took it back to PC World - advised that was the design!

  • I was given a new phone because of a technical problem with my other. Everything was replaced because of iCloud but now it is telling me I do not have enough storage room on this phone to perform a back-up. Can I fix this?!

    Why don't you call Apple tech support thru your provider. They will be able to help you in short order.
    PS - If you want help here you need to provide a little more information i.e. how much memory does your iPhone -4- have and how much free memory do you have after restoring from the cloud?

  • HT4847 my iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take photos/videos, etc. My icloud is on for photos/videos. Can I safely delete them on my phone to make storage room knowing I can access them on my icloud?

    My iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take more photos/videos, download apps, etc. I do have my photos/videos ON for icloud sync but not sure if I can safely delete them from my iphone to make room. And if I can delete them from my phone how do I access them on my icloud? I logged in for the first time and do not see where to access photos/videos?

    You can't just store photos on icloud.  They can be included as part of a backup or when using photo stream to sync photos from one device to another, but 1) photo stream keeps photos for up to 30 days after which they are deleted from the servers, and 2) never rely on a backup to icloud as a way of storing photos.  (When photos are deleted from the device, they are no longer on recent backups, and older backups get deleted in short time.)
    When it comes to photos, users should sync them to a computer for archiving.  Then they can delete the photos from the device, as the computer will have copies.
    Photos in backups on icloud cannot be viewed on icloud.

  • I damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?

    Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.  If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now).  Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

  • I have iPhone 5. I do not have enough memory to update. My camera roll has over 8 gb being used. The photos are on my iPad so if I delete my camera roll from phone will the still be saved in pad?  Can anyone help because the photo a precious

    I do not have enough memory to update phone. My camera roll is taking up over 8gb of memory so if I delete the photos will they also be deleted on my iPad

    You should download all of your photos to your MAC/PC.   The copies on your ipad are probably the ones in photo stream and they are not the full resolution originals.   They will also gradually be replaced as photo stream only keeps last 1000 photos taken.
    Download the photos, then erase them from your phone.    And while you're at it, make a full backup of your phone in iTunes before doing your update.   And then do the update through iTunes.

    Every time I try to sync my I phone to I tunes an error message comes up saying I do not have enough access to sync. How do I gain the access

    2.  Find and click on the "Tones" tab on the upper right of the iTunes display.
    3.  Choose the synch option you would like.

  • Trying to sync my new phone and it says that I do not have enough access priviledges for this operation.  Help?!?!

    When I try to sync my new phone to my iTunes, it says that I do not have enough access priviledges for this operation.  I can't figure out WHY?

    Hello KYaple,
    It sounds like there are permissions issues with iTunes. When you sync it may be trying to copy purchased items from your iPhone to your iTunes. Check out the article below to try and resolve it.

    you can change the sync settings in itunes. plug your phone into the computer, select the device in the side bar (it should have an iphone icon next to it), then select the tab for photos to modify the settings for what will and will not be synced.
