Z Fold 3 Front Speaker Bug

[RakeshDey]

Front-Top speaker as in-call speaker isn't working 9/10 times. 

However it's working fine as media speaker, like while playing youtube or watching recorded videos there's no issue. 

The only time it isn't working is in call. The other person's voice is completely silent untill I turn on loud speaker. Since loud speaker uses bottom speaker, so voice can be heard clearly but if I turn off the loud speaker, in-call speaker becomes 100% silent.

Things I tried to solve it:

• 1. Cleared data of call and contacts app
• 2. Reset network settings
• 3. Factory Reset entire phone
• 4. Switched to Google Dialler app

nothing worked...

To fix ittemporarily, I dial *#0*# then click on 'speaker'. Please provide software update to fix this bug permanently.

Sounds like an issue on your carrier's side. Tey contacting them, because if it was the device to blame, it wouldn't work in speaker mode either.

It's not carrir issue. I can hear the other persons voice clearly after turning on loud speaker but in front speaker mode it's completely silent.

Does it stay silent even after switching from loud speaker to earpiece? Or does it start working normally again?

[RakeshDey]

yes it becomes silent again after switching from loud speaker to earpiece.

Take it to a service center and get it checked. That will be your best bet atm.
