I just got my S II and when on calls it has a buzzing or static sound during calls at times when the person I am talking to gets louder. I have turned the volume down to almost silent and it still does it. I am using Unnamed ROM, but it did it before the new ROM was loaded. Does anyone know if this is a physical problem with the phone or a software issue, and does anyone know anyway to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
I am using Unnamed v. 1.3.1
Probably just a hardware issue. I haven't seen similar problems from friends or online. If it was a software problem, it would be patched probably.

Thanks! That is what I thought, but I was hoping maybe there was a software issue that could explain it. I guess I will have to return it for a new one.
I just recently noticed that mine has the same exact buzzing issue. Only just noticed a week ago and have had the phone just over 4 weeks. I am planning on returning when I get a chance also.

I called AT & T and worked through all their troubleshooting, which included a factory data reset, and nothing worked. So Amazon is sending a replacement phone out. It must be rare, because I could not find other S II owners mentioning this issue before.

My sgs2 has an aux port that only plays 1 channel of sound and I just noticed this 2 months in. Great....

The paint inside the port is wearing away. The phone itself is perfectly normal. Just for clarification.
I just started getting the same thing on my s2. Just got it 2 months ago.

it's the first one that came up when i googled.
Add me to that list. Mine recently started to buzz and it's fairly annoying. Since I got mine in December of last year, I guess I'll be getting a refurb, sigh.

I've had my Rezound since November and now I'm starting to have issues with whining audio. Anybody else experience it sometime after buying the phone?

Yep, happened to me, it came and went at first and then stayed there all the time. Took the phone to verizon and they replaced it.
That's the beats by dre working its magic. People that listen to hip hop don't hear the hissing and other noises because their eardrums are blown out from all the years of listening to crappy music. My phone does the same thing though. The whole beats thing is a real turn off from the HTC brand and I hope they do away with it.
It's a common problem as far as I can tell. Funny that I stumbled across this thread because the beats things was bothering me today. Can we please stop giving money to rappers and their overpriced bs products.

Same here. Got a replacement and the new phone does not have this problem.

Mine only does this when playing music in the car using the stereo Jack and charging at the same time. Alternator noise.
I've heard about the charging in cars causing problems. Supposedly if you try different chargers or just remove the charger it'll work just fine.
Seems like it only happens with the screen on for me. I can live with it a long as it does not get worse

It's gotten worse for me. I've tried different headphones and it only appears to be the "left" side. Even with the screen turned off it still has the same sound. I also tried turning all the radios off and it does not change. I'll downgrade back to stock Gingerbread (currently running one of the ICS leaks) and if the problem is still there then it's time to take it to VZW. At least it should be covered under warranty,
Happens to me too. But if I wiggle the cord it will go away. At least for now. No telling if that trick will continue to work in the future, but it works for me now.

I have this issue. I've contacted HTC twice already. The most recently last week. Same response, "we have an update coming soon, that will solve the issue" . For those of us running the latest radio/ICS know that their update isn't going to solve the problem. This issue is annoying me more and more lately, it's getting bad. I'm hesitant to return my phone for a warranty just cause I don't want a refurbished, I paid a lot of money for this phone... So, I have to deal with this? I haven't tried deleting beats with root explorer. Maybe I'll try that next.

Haven't heard of anyone else having this problem. Sounds like you are indeed alone.
Maybe search the international gnote forum too, but I haven't red anyone experiencing this.
Sorry, good luck

The issue I've had is that my speaker seems to disable itself after I do a Hangout on Google+. Sounds only come though the earpiece afterwards until I power it off and on.
Call Samsung you might be able to get it fixed if you don't have a warranty

I've had my I717D (Telus version) for less than a week and from the first day I got it the external speaker would disable itself, then after a reboot it would work. It started happening more and more until today it doesn't work at all, I'm going back to get a replacement tomorrow.

Ive tried rebooting, factory reset, right now flashing the stock rom back and doing a counter reset. Dont think its going to help.
Apparently a few people with the international version have had this issue.
But att does give a 1 year warranty, so they should take care of it.

Does anyone have a problem with their EVO where when someone calls you, you can't hear them talking, but they can hear you?
Seems to happen 75% of the time for me. If try calling back once or twice, eventually it will work correctly and we can both hear each other.
I've tried upgrading the OS, PRL, etc and no difference. Running stock OS.
Anyone else?

I've had many times where for some reason other people can't hear me, I have LTE they don't. And this has happened from the start, even before I rooted. Has happened with every Rom as well.

Do they have an iPhone? I'm asking because my bro and his wife have always had iPhones and they have weird stuff like that happen all the time, on att. Happens with people who aren't using iPhones. So, it might be their phone and not yours.

Had the same exact experience. My wife and I have same phones. When I would call her she couldn't hear me but I could hear her fine. If I repeatedly called her back eventually it would be fine. Since then we've had the update and a new Air Rave swapped. No problems as of yet.

Ya I've actually thought about that. It's strange because I guess I only cut out to where they can't hear me for only a few seconds then everything is fine. I've thought maybe I got a bad EVO because I never could get ViperRom to work like it should either, just various misc things. Oh well nothing however to throw too big a stink about.

As far as I know, no they don't all have iPhones. I'm sure a few people that I've spoken to when this has happened probably had one but I don't think it's that, like stated above, think I just might have gotten a bad EVO, either that or I get bad interference from time to time.

open the phone app and dial *#*#3424#*#* and then do the audio test. this will let you know if hardware is the problem.

I don't think so. Nothing more than wet hands if anything.
And once it 'connects', it's fine for the entire phone call. It NEVER cuts out after the call is properly established.

That's interesting. I don't have LTE yet, and have the LTE roaming disabled. Could be they're upgrading the towers or something though?

That might be an idea if I can't get it fixed. Looks like Air Rave is ~$100 one time, and then $5/month which then gives you unlimited calling? That might work...

Just tried it. It says my audio hardware is good. Both speakers and mic. I might try running it 10-15 times back to back though to see if it ever fails since this seems intermittent.
no

No issues on my end. I have the black Note 3 if that helps.
I got the black one. It will be fine for a minute, then start making noises and crackling type sounds. But this is my 3rd note. So I was just curious if maybe it could be the network? I am gonna try a wifi Call and see if it's different

Doesn't do it when I listen to the pre recorded visual Voice mail messages. And it will be fine on a call for a minute and then start acting up. I notice on my wife's Galaxy S3 that when the signal is bad and stays to break up it kinda sounds similar to what I'm hearing, just not so noticeable. I'm wondering if it's these upgrades they are doing here. Funny how pre recorded messages don't have this issue but when I'm on a call it does
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
Most likely a network issue. I know when they are working on towers they offload on to other towers and that causes all kind of problems. Id say give it sometime. If you have the TEP on the phone hardware issues are covered for free.

I'm gonna wait until the end of the week to see if it goes away. what's the chances of getting 3 defective notes all with the same issue? Like I said, listening to the pre recorded voice mails that came on the phone play just fine which leads me to believe that if it were a hardware issue, it would happen when I play those messages as well but it doesn't

I know it can't be hardware because phone calls make this sound whether it's through the headpiece or the speaker phone. But music and other apps that use the speaker don't have this noise.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the radio. May need to be updated.
If I get a 4th note and it does it then I know it's something network related. My wife's Galaxy S3 isn't as pronounced but you can kinda hear it. The note 3 is just more noticeable

Just a heads up,
I was looking at a co-workers G2 on Verizon today and heard the same cracklin' when making a call, it wasn't that way on messages or audio.
But when making a call it had the same issue. I did not try making a wifi call.
She thought it was just her who heard the noise but is super irritated now. She is looking into the LG Optimus G Pro on AT&T.
I have the same crackling irritating popping noises while making and receiving phone calls. It happens if I am using the phone earpiece, speakerphone, earbuds, and also on Bluetooth. When playing music on ear buds I do not hear the crackling and popping irritating noise. That sucks because I really like the phone but I run a business and I really need to use the device as a phone. I will definitely be returning this phone in a couple days if the issue does not get any better which I'm 99 percent sure it won't on its own.

I am in the situation as yourself. I also run a business and since I am on wifi 95% of the time. I already am using Line2 and for me and how I use my devices Line2 has been a life saver. Especially when I at a clients place up in the hills where there is no hope of a signal.
Hope it gets better for you and the rest of the folks out there.
