maybe speaker problem or software problem? (xperia Neo using skype)

[#1]

i called my mom using skype with video call, the speaker was excellent i can hear her very well then the next day i called her again and even the volume is set high it was different the loudness was decreased (xloud is activated same as the yesterday i called) and i have to put my earphone because i cant hear my mom very well. Then again, the next day everything was normal and loud again.... and go back to previous problem again and again and again sometimes its fine sometimes not fine so what is the problem? i got 2.3.3 similar issue then upgraded to 2.3.4 same issue. i activated xloud then deactivated again restart but sometimes the problem comes back.... (i got good signal strenght)

Hmm. This could be an intermittent hardware fault.

Before jumping to conclusions, not sure if you have already tried to perform a software/firmwware repair using PC Companion

Connect your phone to the PC via the USB cable

The repair option on PC Companion (Support Zone --> Update --> Repair).

If that did not work you may need to bring the phone to a SE service centre for them to diagnose and fix

You may also want to check how strong the signal is of the person you are calling as if it is intermittent then it may be on their end that the problem is coming from.

Please also take in to account that this may not be related to the handset at all but related to the person you are calling, you may want to do some testing with this person specifically.

im using 3G all the time (got full bars) and the other party is using WIFI (no idea if signal is strong enough)so probably its a signal problem... thanks for the help.... i will do my testing and let you know...
