Hello, did anyone find that the background noise of vibrant is very clear, when using headsets.
If you want to have a test, I think you can do as fellow.
1. Find a quiet environment, plug in your headsets
2. Open music player, turn the volume to 0
3. Play a song, you'll hear the background noise immediately
4. If stop the song, the background noise hold on for several seconds, then disappear.
What's the cause of this? Driver or hardware design? or just software.
So did anyone have some idear for solving this problem?
I have no background noise, try different head phones, maybe they are the problem.
I've heard it with iems in silence, same as what you described.

I use te headset comes from tmobile, factory headset.
Which headset are you using? and also rom and kernel.
I tested in several kernels and roms, all have this question.
It's what you get for listening to crappy MP3's use something better than MP3 preferably lossless

no, noise does not come from mp3. I use musicplayer just to take a example.
the noise comes when the dsp has outputs,and disappears when the dsp has no outputs
I am pretty sure you are hearing hardware static noise from the audio circuit. The sound quality of the headphone amp in the galaxy phones is better than most HTC phones, but sadly still falls short compared to an iPhone and many dedicated mp3 players. The static is even more evident with higher sensitivity headphones like the ultimate ears tripple-fis and the like.

Yeah I hear this also...if you don't hear it you're probably using cheap headphones.

I went from an iPhone 4 to the sgs 2. It seems to be giving me some audio distortion and static that wasn't there with my iPhone. Its most noticeable on the high end and with lower (128kbps) audio files. Any one else experiencing this or have suggestions on how to tweak things to make it better?
Only happens on Bluetooth a far as I can tell.

I found I needed to get a balance of the volume controls. I use a stereo bt headset, Motorola s305. It sounded best at about 2/3 volume on the phone, and crank up the headset. Also check out the eq settings if you are using the stock music player. I don't listen to much music, but listen to tons of audiobooks. When I do listen to music its usually Pandora, on the high quality setting, and it sounds great.

Hmm. I'll try the volume thing. Thanks.
Is there any way to 'lock' that volume max, so i don't accidentally switch that up?
I know there are apps on the market to increase volume levels, but I don't know of any to limit volume levels.

This is due to a low bitpool setting. There is no way to change this unless you flash CM7 or any AOSP ROM, which comes stock with a higher bitpool, thus better sounding bluetooth audio.

just curious how this would affect BT earpieces but not car BT systems? I used my car's BT to make calls a lot and never had any audio issues.
I'm not opposed to flashing... Which would you suggest, CM7 or AOSP?

everyone has their own opinion. Try one and see if you like it.
Well, I use my phone as my alarm and this simply will not do. I could live with the ringtone and notifications not playing through the speaker, but the alarm which is an mp3 absolutely must. Is there a way to fix this? Is this ICS or the gs3?

This is annoying as hell when I'm driving in my car plugged into the car's aux input... audio cuts out for a second and then my notification *pop* noise plays through the speaker, then transfers back to the car audio. Meanwhile, all the system noises like the little *bloop* noises it makes when pressing on stuff in the OS get forwarded to the headphones.
Why, Samsung? What is the point of this frivolous change from stock (oh yea... to your "Is this ICS or the gs3" question, it's the gs3) . There's no conceivable reason for it, and it's applied inconsistently.
There are a lot of things I'm liking about TouchWiz, but equally as many annoyances (like this).

Is this something that can be modified at a higher level or is this a lower level feature?
What the hell does the "Mono Audio" widget do?
Mono audio is one of the "Accessibility" features that you can enable through the system settings. It allows you to listen through only one earphone.
The widget is just a quick way to enable it.

I have headphones in right now and it's not doing anything when I toggle the widget.
I put the widget on my home screen and plugged my headphones in test it out. The difference was slight, at least with the song I was listening to, but it was there.
Mono puts out a single signal. You're hearing the exact same thing through both sides of your headphones. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you have both in or only one, you'd be hearing the same thing. However, stereo puts out two independent signals. You are not hearing the same thing through both sides. It makes the sound "richer".
As I've been writing this, another song came on that had a significant orchestral background. I flipped the mono off and on with the widget, and the different was quite pronounced, so at least on my phone, with the headphones that came with the phone, it's working.

Ah I see. I thought you were saying that it would make it play out of one earphone. I get it now. Thanks.
Hi, I can`t say that I`m a fan of beats audio but without it, the phone lacks a bit of bass impact, this is compared to an siii, ipod touch 3g and ipad 2, the volume is also very low without beats with the 4th notch equal to the first on the siii but that is fine since I like listening to my music softly. However whenever I enable beats audio there is a distinct increase in background noise that doesn`t really affect rock music but does classical and such. This is especially annoying in the gallery app where you cannot turn off enhancers but rather choose between htc enhancer and beats with the htc enhancer increasing bass to the point that everything sounds boomy and echoes. Does everyone have this issue with beats and if so how do we fix this?
TURN BEATS OFF ALWAYS.
Beats Audio is just essentially an EQ setting that is being hyped for marketing. To get the best sound, you need to do equalization based on your listening device, ideally at the amplifier, not the source. For example, audio will sound a lot different in your car than in your living room. So you want the source (the phone) to output a flat, unchanged signal, then adjust the EQ (or tone controls) on your car stereo or home receiver to make it sound best.
Now I'm guess you are probably talking about listening to music on headphones which is a different story, since the headphones don't have an EQ. In that case, just use a music player app (like PowerAmp) that allows you to adjust the EQ in the playback software. You could actually save different profiles: headphones, car, living room to switch between them. Problem with that is, then say you are watching a movie in your living room instead of playing music on your phone, then the movie may not sound optimal. That's why it's best to have the source material unchanged and do the equalization at as close to the amplification device as possible.
The only value of Beats is as a fashion statement for today's young people.

I output the music to my car speakers with the jack. There is some noise coming out of the background. Sometimes it will go away but most of the time I can hear it. Does anyone have the same issue?
batch problem
never heard it, maybe it's your music file's issues. or turn the volume down try again

I am sure it's not the music files because those are the same as the files on my evo 4G LTE. When I output the music with my evo, it's fine without noise. Even I turned the volume down, there is still some noise (like bad connection noise) coming out from my right speaker. Thanks for the tips, I guess I am the only one who's having trouble. Maybe I should just exchange it.
yeah, exchange it , that's the best way to solove this
