So, an Ultra user asked in the Q&A section today if our Ultras "chirp", i.e are making noises. Since not a lot of people are checking out the Q&A section (compared to the General section and others), i got curious and therefore posting this here so more people can read it. My Ultra is indeed chirping, and i can hear it if i hold my Ultra up to my ear and listen to the area around the antenna. It sounds like a baby bird is trapped inside it. I can't hear it from the earpiece, only on the back.
It's obvious that it's the antenna that's making these noises, and it's pretty logic since the antenna is constantly connected to a cell tower and pinging it 24/7. I'm still not satisfied since i've never noticed these noises, so i checked out an LG phone. Same noise! A google search also reveals that it's not uncommon to hear these noises. Could it be bad electronic shielding? It doesn't really bother me since i have to really listen to notice it, but again; i'm curious as hell. Is it "normal" or is it a defect? I contacted Sony, and they have never heard about it, but it could be normal - or not. They will inform HQ about the noise, so i guess that's all we can do about it for the time being.
So to the question. Is your Ultra chirping? Hold your ear on the back where the antenna is (NFC logo). and listen closely. Can you hear it?

I've tried it and some low volume-stuttery-high pitch sound is heard. Bit never in one moment that this bothers me. I have to really glue my ear to the glass back to hear it though.

Interesting! So it seems like it's pretty normal then.
I can hear the high pitch scream of a baby bird from the ear piece also but only when I'm on calls. Which is very annoying. But I'm kinded glad I'm not the only one at least. I've tried to hear any noise from my gf Samsung galaxy s3 but it doesn't make a sound. But it could be where this phone is extremely thin.

Yeah, my Galaxy Note doesn't make any noises, and it's the same with my brother's old Galaxy S2 Plus. My other brothers LG does however have the same noise (can't remember the model). I also checked in with my dad, and his Lumia 920 doesn't make any noise (come on, it's a freakin' tank), and his work phone; an Xperia Go doesn't make a noise, and my third (and last, i promise) brother's S3 doesn't make a noise either.
But a quick google search reveils that there are many different models out there that does have baby birds, including the iPhone. So what does this tell us? I have no idea. I think i'll go with thiness + a badly shielded antenna = baby birds.
My ultra moans sometimes at night.
I've taught mine how to chirp the Russian National Anthem.
And by that I mean no, mine doesn't chirp.

I can hear both noises if the back of the phone is directly next to my ear. Move it 2cm away and it dis-appears.
There is also a noise that 'plays' for a few seconds when audio finishes. Out of the main speaker.

I hear static from the main speaker if I have clearaudio+ turned on. Try turning it off if u have it enable.
I love this phone. But the chriping is driving me nuts. It's louder and more pronounced on the screen side when I'm on a call. Gives me a headache but Bell mobility is **** in Canada for any help.

Tried these too. Head crushers. Can't fall out for sure but I swear my skull was pulverized.
Not many stereo BT headsets I've not tried and so far, all but 1 have gone back.
I"ve been using these for the last couple of weeks since I bought them on sale for $30 in a one day deal. So far so good, I think they sound and fit great and are supposedly sweat resistant.
http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SHB6000-28-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B004KPLS5M
My one concern is that they block out too much sound and that might cause a safety issue if you don't hear an oncoming car while running.
The other negative thing is that they have a lot of small buttons and it's near impossible to hit the right one while running. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it.
Is the jabra sport not even out yet? All I see for it is ads.

I've been using the S9s for at least three years now... Best Bluetooth stereo I've ever bought. I only enjoy them for working out at the gym, my head is small so when I run, the S9s bounce a bit and can be annoying - I'd be interested in buying the Jab Sports. ( been using studio beats for running, great but not sweat resistant at all =/
**Edit: I have the original S9s not the HD version, might try those if the fit is different.
By far the most disappointing headset ive owned were the s10hd by moto..the s9s were alot better and louder..ive had problems with my first set of jaybird freedom jf3s,no range and disconnects...but after swapping them out i get 20feet range and super loud and clear bass..plus they never fall out from running or lifting.id recommend the jf3 freedom,just gotto find a properly working set.

Not really true. I just looke up the reviews on Amazon - and I agree with the most recent review, which was 4 stars. You'll notice the same minor concerns that I expressed above about the button size and isolation. Actually - with more use on the streets, isolation isn't as good as I thought - but is actually safer. I can pump up the volume to hear my source, but will still hear the sound of an oncoming car.
These aren't perfect, but they're working fine for me. Most of the bad reviews I see on Amazon seem to regard a failure - which I might someday experience of course. In which case I would come back here and report the hardware problem.
But so far so good. These are working better for me than my much loved Jabra BT8010's - which I still use in the office because of the convenience of being able to remove the 2nd stereo earbud. But fit for working out and sound quality are better on these, no doubt. There's not much bass, but it's there - and the sound is pretty clean/clear.
Best wireless headset I have tested is the Sony mw600 excellent range

I bought my phone off of ebay and the seller said it inluded everything that originally came with the phone, but there are no headphoens.

Is it just me or is the sound quality in videos recorded by the sgs3 very bad? The video samples looks great but the sound is not good.
From the video from GSM Arena i must say its a pretty good sound, it has a good noise cancelation that may be causing the sound to be lower but to be that is just great.

The sound is bad because its a prototype phone, its not a retail unit. Everything will be fine on release.
To be honest, I think the audio quality is pretty good. Definitely one of the better ones out there and to tell you the truth, I expected it to be much worse...
I totally agree. The sound quality in this video is horrible. The cars sounds like trains.

What I really want to hear is people talking on the video.
GSMArena's video has really bad sound quality. The sound in the HOX video isn't good either but it at least sounds a bit more natural. The sound in the GS3 video reminds me of the early days of MP3 audio, when using misconfigured encoders produced really weird sound, even if the chosen bitrate was high. I'm sure the mic used by Samsung for the phone is quite crappy (just like the mics you can find in most phones or digicams), but I'm also sure its capable of doing better than this video.
Well spotted the sound on the s3 is pretty poor compared to HOX!
Another issue to consider, thanks!!!

Well I know I'm being picky here, but I want them to talk in front of the camera I think I will mostly be recording family moments with it.
That being said, I think it sounds pretty good for a phone. This isn't supposed to be a high def camcorder like som already pointed out.
Wow.! The build quality on this thing is AMAZING. I've dropped it so many times (clumsy me), and I just now dropped my phone one foot off a hard surface (which is quite a height, for me), and not a little scratch dared to show up on my phone.
How amazing has the phone's build quality been for you guys.?

Wow.! The build quality on this thing is AMAZING. I've dropped it so many times (clumsy me), and I just now dropped my phone one foot off a hard surface (which is quite a height, for me), and not a little scratch dared to show up on my phone.
How amazing has the phone's build quality been for you guys.?

Dropped my phone on a weight, if it was anything else it would have cracked.

I think the design of the back of the phone caused it to lose a large amount of strength.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679027

Yeah but you knwo what, with the first one i had, I had that slight bend as well. Im not sure if it due to the strength of the beack of the phone, but the Metal bezel around the perimeter of the device. WHen i took my phone apart, the Metal bezel was super flexable. I think thats where the weakness comes from altogether. But thats my opinion. Other than that, I think this device is built very well. The back is incredibly ugly LOL, but has a nice feel to it. ALso the screen glass, is pretty durible itself.
The longer this phone is out the more it appears to be a model to skip. I don't think i have ever seen a phone bend before. Aluminum, while cheap, does not have the strength needed for this phone. Very poor design.

Why don't you buy an iPhone and drop that, see what happens. I don't think there is any other phone out there with the same build quality as this one.
Dropped my phone down a couple of solid wooden steps. My plastic back popped off, but there isn't a scratch on this thing.

Treat it like a phone/handheld computer, not a hammer and is fine.

Working in the wireless industry that is one of my favorite things people say to give me a good laugh and have me shake my head. So please tell me exactly how many drops are supposed to be required for a cracked screen?

I would assume at least one. If a screen cracks while a phone is being held, then I'll be mortified/impressed.
Overall, I'm pleased with the build quality of this phone. I thought the 3D moved forward in some aspects and backward in others, but I feel this phone simply moves forward. I chuckle when people say the back of the phone looks ugly. Are you spending a lot of time looking at the back of your phone?

Have you read the thread where owners of the phone said it is bending when it is their pocket? Any phone can break when you drop it, that isn't the issue here. The problem is it bends. Please show me any other phone that has this problem, better yet, show me how to stop it from happening. Is there a case out there that is designed to prevent a phone from bending?

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I got my SGS3 a couple of days ago (so far I like the phone a lot, coming from an iPhone4) and I noticed today that when I tap the upper side of the screen I hear a little buzzing/clicking or popping sound. It feels like there is something loose inside that moves, and it only happens on the upper side of the screen. When I tap the bottom or mid section this sound is not apparent.
I can also feel/hear the sound when I shake the phone.
Is this normal for this phone or should I go back to the att re-seller and complain?
Thank you
That's definitely not normal. I'd take it in and have them replace it.
I've never heard of a Salaxy S3 with this, better get it replaced
this is really interesting - I actually went back to the store and played with a couple of the GS3 they had. Both were doing exactly what I experience on mine. I guess this is something normal for GS3's...
I guess I am waaay too picky andd will have to learn to live with this

Ohhh I hear what your talking about.. but you have to hit it pretty hard..... and it is not very loud.
Yeahhh, unfortunately for me that is how I tap my screen all the time and it drives me insane. It is more like a buzzing sound than anything else. It almost looks like something is loose inside the phone in the upper area of the screen.

Don't smash your fingers against your phone haha it is a phone not a punching bag.
My phone has the same issue as well. When you tap top of the screen, sounds like the screen is loose.

Ha ha never would have noticed it if you didn't say anything. Probably a sensor.

You know - now I notice this even when I leave my phone on the table.
It DRIVES ME insane,...
Come on SAMSUNG -- you just cant have these weird loose, buzzing noises from your "flagship device"!!!
The glossy cheap looking back I fixed with a nice cover, but this....I cant fix
I'm tapping on all sides of my upper screen and can't seem to reproduce this problem.

Hmm will deff. try this when I get mine but I don't really press on my phones screen. Just a simple tap, tap, tap-a-roo will do.
I'm seeing the same thing on my Verizon GSIII. I took off the battery door and can reproduce it by pressing on the plastic frame near the volume control. It is clearly the plastic case making the creaking sounds. So annoying.
I was considering exchanging the phone because of this, however now it sounds like it is more widespread. Should I just live with it? Does anyone Galaxy Nexus's do this?

I'd go in and get a replacement. Mine doesn't do this at all. Verizon has already screwed us all enough. The least they can do is replace your defective device.
