Does anyone else's volume go up and down in a call? And no, I'm not hitting the volume button at all...lol
Yes, mine does this. It's annoying. Still love my 3d.
Same here. Luckily, using the phone for actual calls is the least thing I do.
Indeed.. drives me crazy

Same here. Every time I call someone the ring is half-quiet, half-loud. Like someone is flipping the switch of an amplifier on and off.
yup,same here,,Not sure what the problem is but I don't like it
put me down too, guess i originally thought it was some sort of noise cancellation amplification type of thing.
I've only noticed that while the other person's phone is ringing. Haven't had an issue during a conversation though.
Nice to know I'm not the only one I notice it most when the phone is ringing before the person I am calling answers...sometimes during the conversation itself. Not a huge deal, but a minor annoyance.

Anyone else experience this? It sounds rattle-y and a bit crackley as well. But I only notice it during phone calls on speakerphone. When I play music, it's perfect.
I do. But I lower it down and it becomes OK.

I've noticed on my S2 that during all calls if you listen for it or the person stops talking there is background noise like putting your ear to a sea shell not very loud but you definitely can hear it even when someone is speaking. People on the other side say they can't hear anything bad and that I'm coming through very clear.
Is this normal I don't have my old LG Rumor 2 to test with which was on the same network but I don't recall ever hearing anything like that then I would probably notice like I have now.
Is this normal with this phone if not what else could it be related too?
yes, it is normal as you may have the volume to high. You may get some background static.
Is it with every call, it could be because they're on a bad network

Yea it's on every call I called a pizza place where a machine answers and I still heard it, maybe its from high volume and I'm obsessing I don't know lol.
Guess it's better than an echo!
Does anybody know why there is a little sound when I call out? Just before the dialtone ringing, something to do with the phone settings?
Thanks
whats up with this weird speaker and vibrate motor?
i got the phone to vibrate and sound a notification when i get a txt.
sometimes i hear a loud crackle or cracky sound, dunno if its from the speaker, the vibrate motor, or just a glitchy sound.
anyone know what im talking about?
not to mention the crackly vibrate motor, sounds like its loose even though i know its not.
I've noticed it a few times here. It started happening on my Evo right before vibrate completely died.
Just tested mine and it sounds normal.

I've been using a Note 2 demo unit for the past two days and have noticed that during a call, and the other person is talking, I can hear a "hiss/white nose" around the voice in the earpiece speaker. But when the person isn't talking, there is no hiss. I tried this with several calls (and also 1-800 recordings) and can hear it for every call. I'm not sure what the cause is, but it is quite distracting.
On the GS3 is does have a slight hiss, but it is hardly noticeable. The Droid DNA doesn't have any hiss during calls.
Since I wasn't sure if it could just be an issue just this Note 2, I stopped by a store on my way home today and tried the Note 2 that was on display. It has the same hiss/white noise that I'm getting on my unit.
Has anyone else noticed this on their phone?
I'm thinking it may have to do with the Note 2 using P_Rev 6 and the EVRC-B Vocoder. In my area, the regular EVRC sounds better than EVRC-B, but I don't see any way of changing it on the Note 2. I've changed between the P_Rev and Vocoders on other phones by doing ##PROGRAM, but that command doesn't work on the Note 2.

I had the same problem on my first Note 2. Took back to Verizon and replacement had the same issue. Was going to get a third one but the CSR tried it out and heard the same thing on the 3rd one so just returned it all together. Awesome phone otherwise but I make a lot of calls in a quite office, and with no other sounds it was really annoying.
Here is another thread with same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021447
Really hope it is just a bad batch. I'm going to give it a few weeks and try another one.
I have the same issue, for what it's worth. However, I'm lucky enough to almost never use my phone to make phone calls so I can live with it.

I can't wait till some one comes in here and claims they don't have the problem lol. "My device is a special snowflake out of the manufacturing plant that doesn't exhibit this problem at all!"

I've definitely noticed the hissing but honestly haven't noticed it since the first couple days of having the device. Going to pay attention the rest of the week and see if I still have it. I use speaker phone or etymotic ear buds with mic 95% of the time however

I just started noticing it with headphones. Light hiss behind notification sounds, stops just a moment after the sound. Hmph. Not sure how I feel about it. It's pretty distracting.

I have it but don't mind it too much. Probably because it's better than the tinny distortion I had on the Thunderbolt! I've noticed the headphone jack must be better too. Much less hissing when listening to music with headphones...at least compared to the TB. I can't believe I had that TB for so long...so...painful...

Yeah man, same here. I pick it up every once in awhile now and just hold it in my hands and laugh. What a piece of garbage.
First and last HTC device. They're still making twitter posts saying they're still working on ICS for the Thunderbolt............. loooooool
Had a tb too. Held it today. . It's so bricklike in comparison! Not to mention the problems in function. Think I'm over the light hiss now. ..rarely have headphones in and not listening to music anyway so rarely have a chance v to notice it.

Does turning off noise reduction (menu during call) address this problem at all?
Just an update on my previous post. I made a couple somewhat long calls today and I did not hear the background noise on the other end the way I had in the early days of the phone. Either it is simply a sporadic issue or it has worked itself out somehow.

I don't think it's a noise reduction issue. With noise reduction on or off, Voicemail calls sounded perfect. No hiss or anything. And I am quite sure of what the hiss sounds like, so I know what to listen for.
I'm wondering if it's just a case of the person you're talking to having a crap phone that has outgoing issues. It doesn't do it when I call my brother on his Note 2, just some other people. Wierd.

I've also noticed who I call makes a difference in when I hear it, though I've heard it at least once with everyone who I've talked to... Some every time some only randomly... weird.
Definitely flippin annoying when you pay attention to it...

So in the past two weeks since I posted about this, I've tried calling a few people and tested it out, and I hear it on every call.
When the person on the other end is quiet, there is no hiss in the Note 2's earpiece speaker. But when the person talks, you can hear the hiss "surround" each word.
I've also tried it with the noise reduction feature on and off, and it doesn't make any difference.
Hi,
Does it happen when using bluetooth?
Thanks,
Bryan
I hope it is software not hardware. Was thinking about getting a Note II but this flaw would render this phone unusable to me, I use my phone as a phone a lot.
