I noticed after using the Thunderbolt that I could only hear off and on from the Left ear - the Right was fine. I thought it was the headphones so I went & purchased new ones and after that plugged my phone in using my aux port in my Jeep and the same problem. Its only playing from the Right side speakers*-- so with (2) pairs of headphones & the car I am thinking its the phone?
Any one else had this problem?

my thunder bolt is rooted if that helps

I noticed with mine I had to push the headphones down kinda hard to get left and right audio. Probably not good for the jack though
No, thats not a storm. Its just my Thunderbolt layin down this post.
I have noticed the same thing...with that, and the sleep button, I am not impressed with the build quality of these devices.

Same with me...I get worried everytime I plug something in
Sounds like the headphone jack shorted out. I had the same issue with my og droid. I'd unroot it and get a replacement.

I have to push mine in hard also or I only get sound from one side. Also on phone calls the other person can't hear me if the head phones are plugged in
Does the pair of headphones have a Mic? If they don't then that makes sense on why they can't hear you. I'm rockin headphones now and don't have to shove them in the jack.

Anyone having issues with their headphone jacks? I noticed on my phone that if I wiggle my headphone while in the phone a tad bit it cuts out the music. Also when using a wired headset I was having issues too.
I bought this at Radioshack, do I go to them for an exchange or to Sprint?
Take it back to RadioShack
Well I exchanged it and still having issues. Sometimes when I hook up external speakers the Evo sees it as headphones or headphones with mic. Sometimes the tracks skip by themselves. Anyone having issues?

Already Addressed.
Thanks for the information. I did a search for headphones and didn't come up with much.
There's also a longer thread, but I can't find it. There under music/audio. It's so F-ING annoying driving and looking down at my phone saying really lol

Hey XDA.... Figured I'd share another helpful hint in the world of cellular communications. So here we go:
If you are listening to your car stereo and supplying music or videos from your phone by the way of a 3.5mm stereo cable from your headphone jack into a 3.5mm jack or RCA adapter into the headunit, you can hear callers over your car speakers and use the phone in headset mode without needing to use the speakerphone. I put the pictured item inline to my phone and it works like a charm. Even the end call button works. I paid $2 open box from BB and they normally sell for 3-4.
Hopefully, others can capitalize on this and make life easier in the car.....

I have one of these( i think i got it from ebay) . Actually got it for exactly the same reason. They are very flimsy and i broke the first one. Got another one and still love it.
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
SO WHAT DO U GUYS DO TO ADJUST YOUR MUSIC

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
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 couldn't believe that I was the only one getting headphone buzz on my beats headphones so I went to the Verizon store and plugged into their floor model and low and behold I got it there too!
I get it real bad on my Beats studio headsets (one's with the battery) and in my car, both on the left. My Beats in ears are not as bad but can hear it sometimes.
Anyone else getting the annoying buzz?
Yep I am getting it with streaming music. I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen when listening to mp3 's.

Well, you've got Beats headphones and Beats in your phone. You've got too much Beats. Try reducing the amount of Beats by a factor of 1.
Source: I've got Sony headphones with Beats on my DNA. 1/2 the Beats of you = no buzz.

I have a regular pair of Sony ear buds and I have a lot of static or white noise. It increases 10 fold when I turn beats on. I hear it streaming and on storage music. Its awful. Dsp manager doesn't help either.

But I get it in my car as well (no Bluetooth, still using a headphone plug). I don't know what your referring to as turn Beats down? I've turned it off before to check and not even that helped, very annoying. I believe I read somewhere a while back that HTC added an amplifierto the headphone jack and speaker, wonder if that has anything to do with it...?

I wouldn't say its buzz, its more like that "white" noise like when the sound stops on a record player. Its really at its worse when beats is on but I can still hear it with it off. This is with all headphones and the aux jack in my car.

I was just kidding around. Buzzing noises with audio tend to be a grounding issue. Not much help with a phone not meant to be taken apart. I would try to exchange it if it persists.
