It seems to be a common problem with a few batches of c905's. Just claim it on warranty.

I had this problem and they had to get a new part.

Flashing it with new software does it no good.

not (yet) another of the infamous dead earpiece problems on the c905.

i wonder if this is going turn out to be as unreliable as the k850, w910, and many other SE flagships


"Flashing it with new software does it no good. "
it's hardly surprising. the earpiece is what is known as hardware

Well if problems like this continue in the near future, C905 may take the crown and leadership of crappy phones... K850 had that destiny...

Success ratio of phones are generally in the ratio 90:1, and according to reports in my state, the success ratio is quite high.No problems as of now.

I had this problem with a C905 within 10 days of buying it, I took it back to the Carphone Warehouse and got another, so far so good.

Well no one says that every C905 phone has the problem with the earpice... I have read around the forum that some C905 have problems with the UP and DOWN keys... But many C905s work great too, so it's a bit luck when you are buying this phone. should pay a little more attention to this and fix these issues.

My phone has developed the same problem.

But I noticed that pressing the 'C' button made the ear piece work while I was pressing it.

If you hold the 'C' button its mutes the microphone. Then hold the 'C' button again and it unmutes the microphone and now the ear piece works.

A quick fix but my phone will still be going back.

That suggests to me that it is a software issue

I ended up getting a replacement phone in the end. Pressing C eventually stopped working too

the problem is lose wiring..not software..if you hold the c button to hear, dont if you will notice go to service test by pushing > * << * < * and go to ear piece.. now turn up the volume once and slide your phone open if yours is like mine you well apply small amount of pressure on the slider portion at the very bottom while also applying pressure upwards (like your sliding it up, trying to force it off, but not to hard just gentle pressure) you will notice your mic click in again, it is bad wiring in the phone because when i put pressure on it must push a cable into its right position to make contact with the motherboard inside the phone to get it running again, its not a perm fix its just the beginning of understanding why Sony is so worthless they cannot even take the time to make a phone
