So I have been looking through the forums and havent been able to find anything on this issue yet. the speaker is really loud on this phone and I like that ans sounds great when playing pandora and stuff but on games and some other programs there is extreme static, you cant hear it all that much when you have the volume up and the phone far away from your ears, but if you put the phone closer you will hear a lot of feedback it sounds like and tons of static I was just wondering if this was normal and other people were having this issue as well or if it was just me. Also if there is a way to fix this and someone knows and help would be appreciated.

Mine has no such static.
MoPho speaker is far better than the Evo 3d, Evo 4g, and Nexus 4g speakers.
It's the best I have had on any cell phone. Loud and clear, and the speaker phone works well too.

play a notification tone. Its sounds like older stereos when you would turn it real high and get that white noise....happens before and after the tone. Notice it more in headphones but not while I am listening to something.
My theory is has his does not incorporate 0 bit muting.
I am rooted do you know of a program that supports the stock photon Kernal, that we could change the audio properties like the voodoo ones for the nexus

Having been around Motorola for 15 years now, they've always had some of the best speakers and earpieces in their phones. I'm not personally saying other models are bad or anything of the sort, but when I open up a Moto phone, and see those HUGE round familiar speakers, I just know Moto took the time to put some awesome hardware in here.
You've got to remember, Motorola was (and still is) a company that produced and manufactured walkie talkie's from long ago, the audio needed to be heard and that still stands up today. I expected nothing less.
And not only that but the drivers on the circuit board that run that audio are amazing. Case in point, I personally have a headphone amplifier hooked up to my Photon, and it drives and feeds that audio into that amp very well, and sounds crisp, clear, and amazing through it and a $200 pair of headphones I got on sale. Even w/o the amp, listening to podcasts sounds very clear compared to other phone models I've done this with.
If any phone could ever replace a stand alone mp3 player, it would be a Motorola. I'd say it's closer to Cowon quality audio, and anyone who's an audiophile knows Cowon is a top dog in that industry for best sounding audio.
I agree on music and things the audio is great but like CNET TV app you tube and some others I hear the hiss maybe it is just poor audio from the apps them selves oh well not that big a deal just seeing if anybody else was noticing it.

Mine sounds really pretty good, but I have to have it halfway before I really hear anything. At full it is OK, but I think it should be louder. Is there a setting somewhere? Does anyone else think it could be louder still?
So I finally found the answer to my problem it was the audio effects that are under the sound menu that was causing the static it was being over amplified, turning it of made it quieter but still sounded great with no static.

static
I found enabling HAC (hearing aid compatibility) in call settings caused static when I went to speaker and would not go away until I ended the call.
It was bad as I like speaker phone.
Disabling HAC solved the problem.
So idk if this is a cm7 thing on the SGS2 or if it's the phone itself, and but the volume is super loud. I have it at 1, and it's what I would normally listen to music at with headphones. 3 is about as loud as I'll go. I can't imagine going up to like 10 or something. Is this just me?

might actually be the headphones you are using. try using a pair with different amps, and see if the problem still persists.
I'm using Bose IE2s. And they were pretty normal with my inspire...
I also don't have another pair

Having the same problem with CM7 on my SG2. Volume at 1 is normal listening level with anything higher being too loud.
It's consistent using earbuds and headphones.
I have the same thing going on with my SGSII/CM7.2.0 RC0
It's not really a problem for me but it is odd. This is with a pair of iPod earbuds which I typically only use at the gym. Volume at level 3 is plenty loud. I'm sure the earbuds would blow at louder volumes alond with my ear drums. Anyway, the sound is still clear so I just keep the volume lower. As far as testing with something else, it's normal when I plug up to an auxiliary in on a small stereo at home. So, it must be the headphone/earbuds.
There's an app called anEq equalizer that some have been able to use to make the volume 'quieter'.
Seems it's an already noted issue with cyanogenmod. Hopefully it'll get fixed.

Using this app now and it does make it little quieter.
The app requires a service to run in the background to perform the task so it isn't ideal but will work fine till they fix it.

Hello there..
I've been using my new Razr (GSM) for 3 days & listening to my music via wired headphones, till this morning when i plugged my headphones and nothing! music kept go thru the loud speaker as it didn't even recognize the HP's !!
I've tried many other wired HP's (even the one came on the box), rebooting & all, still nothing.. Bluetooth headphones worked fine.
im worried it could be a hardware problem, i don't wanna go throu warranty/fix/change/etc ..
anyone experienced something like this ? any advise would be helpful.
thanks in advance
Moe
Ps: is there anyway that i can only RESET the phone setting only without wiping the internal Data ?
Hi,
Everyday, when using Spotify, I have no sound from the headphones, while speaker is working.
Nothing in the system log, the only way to have headphones back is to reboot the razr.
Looks (sounds) like a software issue but I don't know if it's low level of at Spotify one (that app is so badly coded that everything is possible).
Not sure it helps, but collecting feedback is a good start

i think its a common issue ill be sending mine back for repair and then giving this to my gf......i think i might just get a Gnex
A paperclip or a needle is probably the best way to clean lint out of the headphone port. I had the same problem one day. And a paperclip saved my headphone jack

I finally decided to do a reset on the phone before sending it back to Motorola and (3days now) I am using headphones without any problem yet.
When I'm in my car listening to music through my note I'm always having a problem with getting the most out of my car speakers
For example: (I have equalizers btw) ill dim the volume on the phone but raise the car volume
Sometimes its better or worse when you raise the phone volume all the way and handle it wig the car speakers
Although the lower the phone volume he more, "clear" from the speakers -but not as loud

Yup, that's the way to do it, maybe even 80-90%...unless of course you want to save more battery, then you'd lower the phone volume more

Max out volume on proamp, head unit eq on flat, tweak the eq on proamp, adjust the gain if sounds overdone. I've also set all proamp eq levels on max and its loud as hell

Just have a stock radio in car. No amps or anything but the stock is a decent unit for my needs. I turn the phone about 90% up then adjust from the car unit. Sound is always good for me. I'd say experiment and see what works for you. Don't forget to try an equalizer on and off from the phone. It's really a personal taste thing in my view.
I max out the volume on the note and adjust through the car speakers. I'm having to use an FM transmitter also, as my '05 doesn't have aux in. Still, it sounds great. Even better once i flashed the Beats eq.

In this case your phone is essentially a pure amp while your head unit is the power amp. Even at Max volume, your phone shouldn't be distorting the volume output. You want it all the way or nearly all the way up to allow as much headroom as possible for your power amp. You also don't want to re eq an eqd signal. Decide whether you like your phones or your stereos eq better, and set the other flat. You'll almost always have to tweak a bit further as line in mp3 will have different sound characteristics as a CD or the radio. Also, for the love of God, don't use 128kbps songs like most people.

The one thing I'm trying to figure out is engine noise.
Anyone else getting that or even know what I'm talking about?
if I have my phone plugged into my via head phone jack and nothing is playing on it, you hear a high pitch noise that fluctuates according to the rpms of the engine.
Would be awesome if there was an app to white noise it out or something, haven't checked though.

Do a search on 'inline noise suppressor'. This might help. You could also look at moving the radio's ground wire to a different location and might solve your noise.

Thanks for the response, don't know about the ground wire solution, but will definitely search for the inline noise suppressor

After looking that up, I have determined that is not the solution for me. I'm dealing with a factory, stock car aux setup, it shouldn't be giving me problems and as a matter of fact my prior iPhone 3g didn't have this problem at all. I believe this happens with two cars that I've used it in, so while it is related to the car and specifically the engine's RPMs, I believe this can be fixed via the phone for the following reason:
When I push the back button on the phone while it's plugged in it will briefly silence the noise, also when I play Pandora the noise only appears between songs, and no it's not still there being covered up, I would be able to distinguish it in the music.
Anyway, hope someone had another fix for this. Could potentially be a hot selling app if you could figure it out.

what else has changed besides the phone? the charger perhaps? where do you keep your phone? do you keep your phone on it's charger while you listen to it via your stereo?
I run a satilite radio in my truck that runs through an aux line I installed and I get engine noise for a couple of reasons. My aux line isn't heavy duty and sits next to my firewall and effected by the EMI of my engine. The power cable isn't shielded and doesn't have any in line suppression so it's effect from the truck alternator, no matter how clean the signal is, varries as your engine's RPMs move. I run into the same issues with my phone, all of this is in a Sierra Denali truck with a Bose system and also occurrs in my BMW. So no matter how much you paid for a vehicle, it still can be a factor.
So try an inline noise suppressor, they're like $10 at radio shack and if it doesn't work take it back.
You'd be surprised of the effects electricity and EMI will do to your audio.

I can not get a good sound no matter what I do. I have always used power amp and never had a problem with sound. With my epic I always ran music thru my car stereo and it rocked. With this phone I got so mad today at how bad it sounded I just turned off.
I have tried every adjustment I could but no dice. It just sounds distorted no matter what I do. Do u think I have a defective one? Like I said my epic would rock and sounded so good so u would think this phone being the 3rd generation it would be better in sound quality also. I have tried the stock player to and it sounds worse.
Edit: forgot to mention I also had beats flashed onto the epic too.

Try the app from the play store called Volume+. I've used it only to modify the external speaker for better quality on other devices, but there are options to modify sound for the in call speaker & headset also. You'll want to select headset obviously as it just refers to audio out via the 3.5mm jack. I hope this helps you & your able to adjust the audio profile for better quality, as I've had success with this app, but I haven't used it on the gs3 yet?
I'll give that a try. I am also getting a buzzing at the beginning and around the
Middle of songs to. It's about a 1-2 s3 one buzz
Edit: just looked it up. Doesn't work on the Sprint version of the GS3 yet.

Ok, well there are other apps if you google search or search the play store & also look at the roms in your dev section & I will almost guarantee one of them has dsp manager or some sort of audio equalizer app included.
Now the buzzing noise is 95% one of two things. 1) The auxiliary outlet in your car stereo has an issue or it just gets a poor connection, this can happen sometimes in lower end after market head units or for other various reasons I'm sure.2) The auxiliary cable your using is causing it because of a short or because cheaper cables just get a ****ty connection & thus provide ****ty audio quality. Try buying a more expensive one and give it a shot as soon as you get to the parking lot, if the problem persists then you can walk right back in & tell them its not what you needed & get a refund. 3) Your phone has a bad 3.5mm jack. (This is possible, but probably the least likely)
Please report back what your results are after trying these few possible solutions. I think you'll have a viable fix here soon. I hope this helps out.
It's not a cheap deck lol it's Pioneer. The buzzing does it with the stock head phones and my after market jvc earbuds.
If I turn the volume up (headphones) halfway it's starts to sound distorted. With my epic I could rock the volume the whole way up with out any distortion.
I'm starting to wonder if it's the Jack. It's bad lol

I would take it back to Sprint it sounds like there is something wrong with the phone. Unless its the MP3 you are listening to is bad quality.
