Speaker squeal? - HTC Droid DNA

I haven't seen a thread like this but its really annoying. When I plug my phone into certain speakers and the data arrows come on, a loud squealing noise come from the speakers. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem?

It's feedback from the 4G radios interfering with the amp I believe. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong though.

Aside from that? Due to this phones limited onboard storage I frequently stream music from my Google Play account. And its kinda hard to do that in airplane mode lol

try connecting to wifi if you can. It is interfering with the speaker.
I know my gaming headset crackels whenever I get a text message without it being connected to the headset, it is just interfering with the speakers

Hmmm makes sense. Is there any way to disable the amp if that's what's getting interference?

Its actually not headphones. I use the beats that came with my Rezound. Its only with speakers it seems like

Sounds like it only seems to happen on low impedance speakers/inputs. You might just need to stick with headphones or use some kind of external pre-amp. This is somewhat disappointing news, although I don't listen to music from my phone much.

Noticed crackling and static when on 4G streams of Pandora. Happens with headphones or hooked up to a mixer and speakers (higher impedance). Doesn't happen with the WiFi enabled for streaming, so I'm going to say Argumentation's explanation seems spot on... Just thinking out loud here, but would there be a way to slow down to 3G speeds for streaming? Sounds counter-intuitive as far as speed is concerned, but if it's the 4G that's causing interference, then maybe that will take care of it?

Bluetooth

So, not that it's SUPER important. But I just got done dialing my system in my truck in. Put all the speakers in, sub, amps, head unit, etc etc. And I got a model with bluetooth. And I must say, it's legit. I can stream music via it from my phone, take calls and it'll mute the music so I can take the call. I recommend to anyone that drives and talks a lot to do this. It's not too much and it's very helpful and sounds decent too.
been doing that in my car for a couple years now... Love it. But for some reason my MoFo will drop the BT connection after playing music for about 20 mins. Well maybe drop the connection is the wrong thing to say, it is still connected, still get message notifications through the Headunit, but it stops streaming the music....
Are you using the stock music player?

Just put a jvc unit in my work car. Damn its sweet. Love being able to stream music without the aux cable.
Also mine has a bt remote so i cab skip tracks through Pandora or any of the other music apps without using the phone.
This and the unlimited Pandora apk is the best combo ever.

Do you guys leave your bt enabled on your phones? Never really used anything Bluetooth except for my ps3 so i don't know how much it would affect battery life leaving it on.

Jvc av794 i think. Works awesome. Names of songs pop up via bt through music app. Calls also work great. Car has a factory 9 speaker h/k otherwise
I also have an eclipse cd5030 and call quality sucks. But its been that way with all phones. I think the car is too loud and there is no echo cancellation sw.
Factory speakers otherwise. And a 10 inch sub.

Right on. I'm running four mids two tweets two amps and a sub. The amp is actually kinda handy for call volume.

I am hard of hearing. What Rom or is just an app is recommended?.... has the best and clearest sound for music? Thank you in advance.

Through the speaker on the phone or headphones?
PowerAmp I believe has an EQ you can use to boost some levels, for the most part, the max volume is going to be a limitation of the phone.

Actually, it just occured to me -the headphone amp I use (Fiio E6) not only improves the sound of good quality headphones quite a bit, it will make the sound loud enough to totally deafen any normal person........

I thought the same thing until I saw how tiny this thing actually is.
It weighs absolutely nothing & is about the size of a matchbook.
Believe me, it is worth the little extra effort to use it & if you can't hear with this in place you would have to be completely deaf.

Anyway to make ringtone play through headphones...

I was wondering if theres anyway to make this phone ring through the head phone jack when I have them hooked up. Right now whenever this phone is hooked up to my radio, and I get a call, I dont hear it because the ringtone plays through the phone instead of the radio....

I have three G3's and a N2 and they all do this.
I have never seen a way to fix it. It doesn't really bother me anymore, but at my old job when I listened to streaming audio all day it really pissed me off......
Mine actually play through both the headphones AND the phone, so I guess thats a little different problem but it sucked at work when I didn't want other people thinking all I did was text all day...LOL

My problem is that when my boss calls me at work, I don't hear it because I'm working. That's one of the reasons I hook my phone up to my radio. I'm sure there's a mod or app out there, I just haven't found it yet.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk HD
I have not personally tested this, but Soundabout Pro from the Play Store is the app that I have seen recommended to solve audio routing issues on S3 and Note 2.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nk.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix.pro&hl=en
in the market place there is an app called "soundabout" has tons of features can even force the media player to play through the mono blue tooth signal.
there is a free version but you'll need the paid version to do what you are wanting to do I believe.

Headphone Squeal

Does anyone have a rez WITHOUT the headphone/aux jack squeal? I have it and it's extremely annoying.

You don't hear any popping, or a noise of any kind when you use the aux port but don't have audio playing?
Never had any squealing or popping, and I've had 4 different Rezounds.
Edit: unless you're taking about the staticy or hissing sound that you get with no sound coming out, that's been that way on every Android phone I've ever had.

Just spoke to vzw, they're sending me a replacement. On a side note, I've spoken to vzw regarding replacements a billion times (ranging from eris, to fascinate, to inc 2, eris, centro, etc.) and this was the single coolest rep I've spoken to
Get over it. Every Rezound does it.
I don't usually plug in my headphones and listen to nothing, so I've never heard the squealing or hissing of android silence.

I only get it when using it as an aux out. To me, it sounds like the ground floats when it's not outputting audio, so anything powered gets it while anything unpowered wouldn't be effected.

rezound replacement number 2 had this. sent it back and havent had this problem yet.
3 different Rezounds and they all have it, it's annoying when I'm listening to music at work where the volume is very low. At low volumes it does diminish the audio fidelity. I also here it if on a call using the wired headset.

Ahhhh speaker blew!

Wtf how can this speaker pop if it has an amplifier for the speaker. I am so mad I hope Verizon fixes it I only had this phone for 2 months

We're you listening to it at full blast or did you have any other amplifier besides beats because if you did then that could have also contributed to it.

Yeah but the difference is the DNA has better internal audio hardware and if it gets pushed far enough it will.
I would go through HTC, if they warranty repair it they can fix the device and send it back instead of replacing it.

I don't even use the speaker I use headphones and usually keep my phone on silent or vibrate. If you can deal with not having a speaker it's probably better than sending it for repair they are probably going to replace it and if you are rooted and s off unlocked right now you will lose everything and need to jtag your replacement.

The speakers matter. Keep those amp and throw ****ty speakers on it. Raise volume. Speakers blown.
So in the instance of blowing speakers, they are correct, the amp isn't what is keeping it from being blown.
An amp is an AMPLIFIER. It amplifies sound. It isn't protecting speakers from being blown, if anything, it is helping the cause.

Yes and no, an underpowered amp will blow a speaker faster then an overpowered amp will on the same speaker, it clips and starts sending voltage and burning the coil. So in a way an amp does help prevent speakers from blowing, but only to a certain point, then they can also still overpower the speaker.
If that's what happened to the phone, I don't know, but saying an amp will prevent it is inaccurate, but so is saying an amp will cause it, it's all in what the amp and speaker combination is capable of.

But the amp was made for the speaker therefore it was just a faulty device

The 2.04 OTA screwed up my sound control. I didn't have sound issues before the update, but after...horrible. The sound profiles for headphones and normal (no headphones/headset) would change volume settings at random and would reset to a default full volume every time I unplugged my headphones. Then while headphones were in the volume would jump to full either randomly or when the first notification came across even with the settings for ringer and notifications were all the way down to be silent. The only thing I have the volume turned up on normally is the alarm. I prefer vibrate over sounds. Less than a week after the 2.04 update, my speaker started to crackle. Within a month it was dead. I could get a few seconds of sound out if by squeezing the sides of the phone. Just got my replacement yesterday and it has been good so far (on 2.04).
Both of these phones were completely stock. I have my old HTC One S for playing around with root, but if unlock is figured out for the 2.04/2.06 phones I will be rooting to avoid the chance of this happening again.
