Interferences in earbud - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I have a pretty annoying problem because from the earbud (under the wrtitten SONY) comes interfecences while i'm speaking with someone using the mobile line.
The interference is like that of the speaker near a mobile phone but from the earbud.
someone has the same problem or mine is a isolated case?

I think you mean earpiece...not earbud.
If you hold the phone near your ear you can hear a very high pitched hiss sound while you are talking? The sound has a pattern to it. If so, then I have tried 2 of these phones and they both do it. I don't now if they all do it, but it seems to be common. Some people who don't have such good high-pitched hearing will not hear it at all. You will never hear it if you are outdoors...only if you are at home in a quiet room.

I hear it too. It's the usual GSM "cellphone interference" sound.

Hi i have the same i hear that xd
But what i have noticed this is only in GSM mode ...at WDCMA its ok..i cant hear this .

I have the same problem. Got my first phone replaced and the new one came today with the same problem.

Try only with WDCMA (3G) and See if that help.

Now I did some tests,
I tried only GSM mode and there's no problem, only WCDMA -> the same thing
Good also WCDMA/GSM..
sometimes the problem seems to disappear

Yeah I too have the same issue.
Its not everytime but sometimes,
Its like a electronics interference noise.
Don't know what's this all about ://

I think it's for the bad isolation of earpiece, but someone think the problem come out when the XS switchs GMS/WSDMA

i can hear that hissing too, i ve searched about it, and it looks like latest smartphones have that kind of problem, the only solution i could find is not to place your ear directly on the earpiece, fortunately this phone has a great in-call volume...

earpiece hissing, crackling, buzzing - problem solved
well amigos, the problem finally has been solved for me, reading this forum https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3414732?start=0&tstart=0
so i turned off my phone, i removed the sim card, i cleaned it using a soft cloth, and then i inserted it back, making sure the sim card was placed correctly in the tray, i tested it several times and guess what, there was no more hissing anymore, so the problem is the micro sim-card, those sim-cards must be placed correctly otherwise it will make that hisssing sound
i hope this works for you too
greetings from colombia...

Had my first two calls today, same problem. Interestingly, it gets louder/more noticeable when I'm actively speaking, not when the other party says something.
Sim-Card is fresh from the envelope, so there shouldn't be scratches, dust or fingerprints on it, but I'll try cleaning it up tomorrow. Got the phone set on GSM only, since I've got bad 3G/UMTS signal at home and I'm pretty sure constant "channel-hopping" would drain the battery.

Hi,
got xperia S yesterday. Great phone... only problem is GSM interference in the earpiece. It is there every time when phone is set to 2G. 3G is free of this issue. As I can hear at every call it's a bit irritating.
I don't know what should I do: sent it back to the store (bought from amazon), try to repair in the service centre or learn to live with it?
Can any of xperia S owners make a siple test: put the phone in "only GSM" mode and make one or two calls. Put earpiece close to the ear and listen to it. I wonder if it's design flaw and every xperis S have this issue, or only some of them....
Anyone who got his phone replaced and the new one came WITHOUT the same problem ???

[Q] I have serious Call speaker problem with my S2...Help

Hi:
I just got my galaxy s2 today. The only and important problem i found so far is the Speaker ( the one we use for calling not music). I keep hearing the electric noise when i make phone calls. the noise disappear if i use the earphone. So, I am sure that something is wrong with the Speaker........
love this phone so much.
Can somebody help?
Thanks a lot!!!
Return the phone for a refund or exchange, the earpiece speaker is broken.
where was this phone purchased?
I bought it from clove
When I turn the volume down a bit the problem is gone.
It only happens when I turn the volume to max or one step from max.
Is that still mean there is a problem with my s2?
Thanks.

Might be a dumb question but whatever.
Are you connected to edge/2g? Are you next to a computer/wifi router?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
NO I am having 3g or H+ from rogers, Canada.
it mast be something to do with the speaker because If i use the earphone the problem is gone.
is it possible that rooting caused it?
root did not cause it, the issue was probably always there. i really wish more people would reply saying if they do or do not have the issue as well, so we know if its common to all SGS2 units, or you just have a specific defect.
As per request..
No I don't have this problem and have used the speakerphone several times.
No problem with my earpiece speaker or my speakerphone
Not here but I do get the headset issue...though that's another thread..

awesome, there are some data points. max volume doesnt seem to crackle everyone's speaker, so maybe a bad batch is going around.
My SGS2 ear-peace crackles on max volume pretty badly - sounds like something is rattling inside. If I put it one or two notches below max, the crackling stops.
I also purchased from clove and live in Canada.
I had this issue with a nokia years back. I ordered and replaced the speaker and the problem was solved. It could just be that it was not glued-snapped down properly and this causes it to vibrate. real crackling is caused by a distorted diaphragm in the speaker.
Anywho, I also was wondering if anyone else has this problem.

I'm afraid to say I noticed this on my phone today. Turned it down a couple of notches & the crackle could no longer be heard. Far from ideal. Will have to check with clove on next steps, and samsung australia on repair cost if done locally.
Yup same problem here. The local samsung service centre technician says there's nothing wrong with the speaker, I guess he's just lazy to look into it.
I'll send it in again to another samsung service centre to have another look.
no problem with my speakers, but sometimes the earpiece sound does seem too low when receiving calls even if i have it on max volume settings
Have the same problem... Like the earspeaker is distorting and vibrating. It starts just when I call somebody, when ringing.... Tomorrow I will take it to hospital
ok I got back my phone from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).
And now, it's solved!! NO MORE BUZZING when making/receiving calls!
Definitely go ask for an exchange or a change of your panel guys! It's a HARDWARE ISSUE.

[Q] Ear Speaker Crackle

Hello all
Got the S2 recently...was an HD2 user (with android) and am really impressed with the performance of the S2..though I am not too happy with two things.
- Battery...i just got the VillianRom installed..and I hope to see an improvement there..
- Ear speaker jarring...the ear speaker seems to crackle at certain frequencies. I checked the whole forum and there were some others with the same complaint and was asked to use the Volume+ app..which I have and to be honest i dont see much of a diffrence..the crackle is still there. I want to be sure if this is a hardware issue or a software issue...and how can I really solve it?
Can someone help?
ah.. another fellow s2 holder that has this issue.
YES! I have the same problem and its driving me crazy!!!
its random, and its buzzes, crackle or even sounds like the earspeaker is blown!
What have you done with it? I think I'll probably go change it but just checking here if you have found the solution?
there's one person with a vibrant saying he blew hot air into the earspeaker and it solved the problem (dunno if its advisable) and he didnt say how did he do that.
I seriously have no idea what you're talking about. I use Spotify non-stop on my SGS2, no crackling thing.
I'm not talking about the back speaker, its the front one where you listen to when you're in a call.
Hello! I have the same problem! Like it is distorting. I will take it to service centre today.
I really can't remember I posted that, my bad.
ok I got back my phone from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).

Thank you for your answer! I have the same problem. They dont belive that is something wrong. They changed the speakerphone and no solution. Now they tell me that must be something wrong with our network, which I dont belive... I was also suspecting that all have the same problem, they just dont recognize.
Thanks a lot!

No sound in calls unless on speakerphone.

I've recently noticed that I don't get sound when making a phone call unless I change to speakerphone. I don't make many calls so I don't know exactly how long it's been happening, but I first noticed it a couple weeks ago. I know that the other person can hear me fine when I'm on either setting. I've also switched ROMs, from Alien to the new CM7 beta, with no change.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it most likely a hardware problem? I've never dropped my phone or anything, and it's only 3 months old. Does anyone know of an app that can test the normal phone speaker, because all other sounds have been working fine.
Thanks for any suggestions!

My guess is it's a hardware problem. I would have it checked out by your mobile phone company.
You can also look up "hardware test" in market and you will find apps there you can use to test your hardware. Sorry not to recommend one. There are many there if you look them up.
Sent from my Atrix XDA Premium App
Thanks for the response. I looked for an app already and didn't find anything useful. There were tests for just about everything else; touch screen, sensors, GPS, etc., and only two that I found that had an audio test at all. However, neither of them allowed me to specifically test the "phone" speaker.
I just think it's weird that all other sounds work fine. I'd really rather test it before I send it in to Motorola.
Thanks again!
This was a common issue on the Motorola Defy's. I had to send mine to Moto for repair. If you're within a year, AT&T will replace it.
I am having this exact same problem with homebase. but mine is intermittent it will work straight after a reboot
More sound issues
In my case I just updated from Froyo to Gingerbread, everything was working perfectly, when suddenly i stopped listening to the earpiece, the loudspeaker still works during calls,
On the other hand, if I try listening to music or any other sound, the loudspeakers dont work... any ideas of what could have caused the problem? It feels like some sort of driver issue, because while trying our the earpiece and loudspeaker during a call I was able to listen to one second of conversation through the earpiece...
i do have exactly the same issue...
putting pressure just beneath the fingerprint scanner, makes the earpiece work for an instant ...
its definitely a hardware issue...
m really fed up with dead spots on touchscreen n this earpiece issue....

Phone Mic sounds Muffled to Callers

I have replaced this phone with another one thinking I may have had a defective unit. Callers report Muffled sound or hard to understand on their end... when I switch to speak it's fine.. and of course Bluetooth is fine. Anyone else have similar reports?

Same here, gets annoying having to repeat myself....
This happened to me once in the month that I've owned my G3, though I use in car bluetooth for 80%-ish of calls. Could have been a phone issue or a network blip, I don't have a large enough data set to draw any conclusions.
Yes, we have issues with call quality when using the phone without bluetooth. Callers report that my voice fades in and out / sounds muffled. I've used it in areas with strong and weak signal strength. Therefore ruling out tower issues.
For one G3, I did a factory reset, unchecked Voice Enhancement and Call Privacy in Settings > Call. It seems to help, but did not "fix" the issue.

We have an anti-glare screen protector (the sticky sheets, not tempered glass).
Verizon is replacing the phone with the most issues since the factory reset only temporarily fixed the call issue. Then the calls degraded the rest of the week. We did not receive the replacement yet, so I have no clue as if it is fixed.
As an aside, the other G3 seems to be doing better with calls. It does fade in and out a little but not to the extent as the one being replaced.
I would try a bluetooth headset. The only caveat is I've had issues with the Jawbone Era but not with my car (go figure). The Jawbone also gave me problems with the Galaxy S3, so it may be a bad combo.
If your right handed like me I find when holding the phone I tend to put my pinky finger under the phone, covering the mic. I now am more aware of my placement.

I had this same problem on my G2 and now my wife is reporting it is happening on my G3. I know the problem but I don't really know how to fix it.
There are 2 microphones on the phone. one on the top and one on the bottom. Whenever I angle the phone against my ear too far and the top mic gets covered slightly, that is when my wife reports that I am muffled.
This would also happen when I would hold the phone against my ear with my shoulder to have both hands free. The top mic got covered slightly and she couldn't hear me.
I don't understand why the top mic affects the sound quality so much, but try it out with someone on the phone and cover the top mic. see if it muffles.
If this keeps happening, just make sure that you aren't covering the top mic and you should be fine.
If anyone finds a software fix to better balance the mics I would love to know about it.
Both my wife and I have had our Verizon G3s for about 2 months and have been dealing with this issue.
At first, we thought it might be the fact that we're on a network extender, and that it was only affecting my wife. That's when I realized it was just that I was using bluetooth and that she was not.
Since then, the problem has happened in nearly every call I've made directly using the handset. I never know when it's going to strike, so I've gotten to the point where I almost do not want to use my phone for actual phone calls anymore.
I absolutely dread calling Verizon. They're going to run my through their idiot algorithm of bs and pretend like they've never heard of this problem before.
I've had at least two people tell me they couldn't understand me. If I talk much louder, they've said that they can hear me again.

Yeah... it's completely unacceptable.
I want to understand the problem before I just blindly return the phone. That doesn't seem to have helped others much....
I'm having similar problems. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/complaints-call-quality-t2828905
It seems, at least from very early testing, for me it does not fail using BT.
Also, is this only a Verizon problem?
Anyone else on a different carrier having these problems?
Please see the thread listed above for additional information.
When I hold the phone to my ear with mic by mouth its fine but when I get lazy and pull the mic away from my mouth (30-45 degree angle or so) then they can't hear me too well.

If you have the bluetooth on and it's unconnected, you will have issues with people hearing you. This is after wasting time with Verizon "technical support" for a month. My solution posted on another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55655465&postcount=13
If you want to leave the bluetooth on, then use the speakerphone on calls. It works, although not practical in public spaces.
This solution is for using the G3 as a phone, without a headset. I'm not a fan of headsets.
The last VZ rep pretty much admitted this is a software issue and had no idea when an update will be issued.

I don't think we're talking about the same issue. My wife and I both have VZW G3s. My bluetooth is on 100% of the time (out of laziness, as I only use it in the car), but hers is off 100% of the time. We both have the same issue with people saying we sound like we're underwater at times.
God... I wish it were that simple, though. I will try it, just for ****z and giggles.

I have actually had the problem using the speaker phone as well but NEVER with a BT headset.
As an update, I called Verizon today (BestBuy Phone) and they went through the usual BS which I played along with. Check settings, signal etc. So finally, they asked me to do a factory reset, which is something I had not done since I have a few corporate applications on the device that are highly secure and difficult to re-install.
I balked but VZ said LG won't even talk to me if I hadn't done that and that they have seen this problem where a hard reset fixed it.
So I'll be a monkey's uncle but so far, so good..... I seriously can't believe this will last...
Phone is 100 percent stock with no other applications added.
I made about 10 calls today and only one complained I sounded tinny. Might have been a bad connection though. Ever other call was crystal clear according to people on the other end.
I also had my wife call me from the phone and talk for 20 minutes while I listened using her iPhone.
Again crystal clear.
Is it fixed?
I don't think it will last but I'm giving it another day before installing my applications one at a time.
I doubt anything I'm using mucks with the phone but you never know.
I'll post back in a day or two.
Ok so I am on day 2 after VZ told me to factory reset and I made 26 calls today and only had one person tell me I sounded garbled. I might have gotten lazy and had the phone on say a 30 degree angle from my ear because re-positioning the phone did fix that one.
The factory reset definitely did fix something because prior to it I was getting complaints from like 2/3 or more of my callers. Now it seems much, much better.
I'm still not convinced it's fixed but I did start installing my applications.
Nothing fancy, waze, facebook, Lotus Travler (work). I want to see how it goes today (Thursday) with these applications installed and see if the problems return.
I'll update tomorrow.
I've had less people say they couldn't hear me but one thing I've started to notice on almost all calls now is I hear a little bit of static when people are talking. I'm not sure if this is a common problem or not. I didn't notice it for the first couple weeks I had the phone.
Since my phone is less than a month old, if I complain and call to get a replacement will they send me a refurb?

problem with the headphone socket or sound

Has anyone has problem when listening to music using the socket built into the main unit, sometimes whiles listening to music, the sounds seem to move to the left with the left side being louder, not sure if it's the socket or the some problem with the sound chip, but moving the plug of the headset is not the cause of the problem, but you need to pull the plug out and insert back in to get the sound normal.
sometimes just pluging the headphones in also cause the problem.
Yessss! I thought it was my headphones!!!
I have had the exact issue with my G5 also! Exactly as you described it, I had to unplug and replug the headset to get it to go away. I was using Skull Candy Smokin' Buds....you? I actually went out and bought the LG Tone Pro bluetooth headset instead.

I have a few IEM listed in my sig that I use, all expensive ones, so i don't think i will use a BT IEM to replace them, also cable IEM produce better sound for Hi Res sound, I have also found out that you can skip to the next few tracks/files and go back it will go back to normal, but in all case we shouldn't have to do anything to cover up the problem, I think it's a software problem, but my G5 is going back today and i'm getting a new one through a instore 14 day exchange policies.

my first had scratches on the silver line on the case, second had a white burn mark in the screen, and can be seen with all colors, this is my third one, not totally perfect, but I have the advantage of checking the unit in store for problems including dead and bright pixels, but the sound problem was only noticed a few days ago and I thought it was my IEM, but it happened a few times, I should have my B&O unit soon, but this problem should happen whether its hardware or software wise.
I just had an issue with the FM Radio - it kept saying headphones not plugged in! I pull them out plug them back in, and it was OK again! I am using my G4 headphones too so even the same make!! I hope I don't need to return it GRRRR
@jreed3786
I got a replacment phone yesterday, at first I though it ok on this unit, but the problem is there and it's on they same song file, therefore I think the DAC actually can detect this problem that may be it related to the actual file, could be a bad conversion causing the phone to perform like this.
that being said, I have a DSD file that starts to buzz when it reached the end of the song, it happens on the V10 and now the G5, and the time length on the file shows like -9206:-30, whiles played on other units it's ok.
You guys didn't push it in all the way. G5 for some reason has a lot of resistance on the port. I had same experience until I noticed the gap and decided to give it little more force. It clicks in hard and didn't have any issue after that

I know how to plug the headphone plug in, it's not that issue, it's more like a compatibility issue, I have comfirmed this myself numerous time.
Headphone jack issue and more
So I've also suffered from the issue with my headphones plugged in. My left channel is quiet and my right is loud. On one occasion the left channel crackled and completely died. Unplugging and plugging back in my headphones causes the phone software to correct itself. This happens at least every other day. Then, my phone became sluggish a couple days ago and started to freeze and suffer random restarts until last night when it froze and entered a bootloop on the startup screen. I pulled the battery and let it sit for a while and plugged it back in and it entered the OS but was sluggish. This morning I attempted to use messenger and it froze again and entered another bootloop and then died. I took it back to T-Mobile and I've only had it 18 days. They took it back under their 20 grace period and I now have my second G5. This same issue was prevalent in the G4 and LG has recognized that issue. I hope I'm not in for another letdown on this second phone. I just divorced Motorola... Where to next?

I know how to plug the headphone plug in, it's not that issue, it's more like a compatibility issue, I have comfirmed this myself numerous time.

Not implying you don't know how. Just saying G5 has port that is tight. No pun intended.

that's ok, i didn't mean't for that either, but may be it stood out too much, I apologize for that, the actual issue is compatibility with the music file and the DAC, sometimes the dac can get really sensitive and pickup minor errors in the files to cause these problems, previously the few files that had the problem has been removed from the phone, no problem since.

So I've also suffered from the issue with my headphones plugged in. My left channel is quiet and my right is loud. On one occasion the left channel crackled and completely died. Unplugging and plugging back in my headphones causes the phone software to correct itself. This happens at least every other day. Then, my phone became sluggish a couple days ago and started to freeze and suffer random restarts until last night when it froze and entered a bootloop on the startup screen. I pulled the battery and let it sit for a while and plugged it back in and it entered the OS but was sluggish. This morning I attempted to use messenger and it froze again and entered another bootloop and then died. I took it back to T-Mobile and I've only had it 18 days. They took it back under their 20 grace period and I now have my second G5. This same issue was prevalent in the G4 and LG has recognized that issue.

I think your problem is a different one altogether, so is the second unit ok.

So the audio issue I was having is the same as the other posters on this forum. One channel with a low level and the other with a normal level and then having to unplug the audio cable to reset it. However, the ultimate failure of the phone is not. I was sharing with everyone what happened to mine and perhaps I should have started a new thread with that issue alone? I haven't had my second phone for even 24 hours yest so only time will tell and I will post and findings related to the audio here. I use my headphones during the work week so that is when I will know for sure.

Hope you get a good unit, I've been through like 9 units, thats includes instore checking and two units I took home, the second unit I have now without any problem.
all sorts of problem, not just the sound.

Hmm. Very interesting. Thanks for the info. I did see many complaints with DAC on G5.

Exact same thing happening to me, will pan most of the sound over to one side making one ear quite loud and the other quiet. I find if I pause, switch to another app, than back to whatever music app I was using it usually resolves the issue. Hoping the B&O module helps but doubtful considering this seems software related. I'll probably just deal with it this way.
I have the Same issue via aux. Restarting Poweramp mostly helps

I bought it yesterday
Headphone jack is very very loose. I tried to different earphones.whenever i touch headphone jack headphone gets disconnected. Any one with this issue
Only problem with mic enabled headphones
Same problem though my normal headphones work fine. When i use my headphones with a mic it only plays the right channel. I have not always had this problem but seems to be lasting a lot longer today. Normally fixed itself in 30 seconds but has yet to. I tried restarting phone with headphones in, then again with them unplugged. Havent found a solution. Does the B&O module work?
