I noticed that my NT seems to emit a faint "clicking" noise every few seconds when the tablet is on but in sleep mode.
Anybody else experiencing this?
Does not seem to happen while the screen is on, only when the screen is off. Also seems to disappear when WIFI is turned off.
Just wondering if somebody can check their NT and see if they hear the same thing... need reasonably quiet surroundings.
Now that you mention it, I have also noticed that. I believe I was running stock 1.4.1 at the time. Currently back on 1.4.0 and I haven't heard it...
Thanks for the info, I am on 1.4.1 myself (out of the box). I'll wait in hope for some more feedback and if it seems to be the case, I'll drop down to 1.4.0.
Haven't heard it but it could very likely be a B&N program that is running in the background. Perhaps it has something to do with the 1.4.1 update and the frequency of the wi-fi checking for updates?
Actually, I need to retract my earlier statement. I was just listening to music so I had my headphones in. Sure enough, when I kicked it into standby, the clicking came back.
Going back to 1.4.0 does not solve the issue.
My OTA timer is disabled...
So that makes two cases now... I am wondering if all NT's are doing this. I kinda PO'd I just got my Otterbox and spent great effort getting my screen protector on nearly perfect.
Never heard this before because my NT's speaker sat flat on whatever it was sleeping on. But the Otterbox elevates it, so I started hearing the clicking when it was sleeping on the table beside me.
If it's a common bug on all NT's... hopefully CM7 will resolve it!
Ok I am hearing it and it is not a constant click either its quite random for me. But I am not going to let it bother me at all to be honest.
I haven't heard anything like that with mine I'm running CM7 and i get a slight pop in my earphones when audio kicks in but nothing major.
Probably because CM7 has different WiFi settings... it's definitely tied to the WiFi. AdamOutler suggested tweaking the Wifi .INI file and it has made the clicks more apparent (it's the WiFi kicking in and out).
Hopefully he can find the way to get it to sleep properly... and thus save battery!
Rooted 1.40 and I have not noticed any clicks.

Bill, if you can try plugging in some headphones and then going into standby/sleep... the clicks are more pronounced through headphones.
I noticed the click as well, this also happens to my PC LG monitor and my LG Optimus 2x when using the headphones.
Rooted 1.4.0

Does yours occur about once or twice every 2 seconds or so?

No, only when I press wake up button or when the sound stop/begins.
I'm not sure, but maybe it's the headphones? Too much coincidence to happen on 3 different devices here.
I user Razer Moray earphones, it has noise canceling something built in, maybe this is the culprit. I have other Philips earphones laying around, I'll test them on the tablet to see if this happens too.
Hi I am rooted...not running the CM7 yet...but I have noticed it when I have the the sound muted and I am playing words with friends. This was also doing it before I was rooted as well. I have not noticed it sleep mode. this only happens though for me when I have all sounds and notifications muted.

Put the tablet into sleep/standby mode (using short power button press) with WiFi on and no music playing and see if you get the click every few seconds.

No clicks on sleep/standby mode under these conditions.
Either it's a problem on some NT's or not everybody has good ears.
hmm ok now I am not getting the clicking and I have not changed any of the settings or anything on the tablet. So I do not know how it vanished but it has for now.
Rooted 1.4.0 and I hear the clicking with either headphones or if I plug it into an external speaker.
Just bought a second hand GS3 from ebay, the screen had a small crack but otherwise was meant to be OK. I put Foxhound ROM on (I'm just used to having to upgrade the rom) and am finding that the sound will work fine after a restart, but then, after it has gone to sleep all sound will stop working.
I've tried clean wipes/formats etc. and also checked all relevant settings I could find (including turn off all sound in accessibility, what an odd option).
I've tried two ROMs and three kernels.
I've tried searching google and xda for hours but haven't found anything that wasn't related to the headphone port; this affects both speaker and headphone, although when the headphone is in and the sound has died I can hear some strange static noises when it's meant to play sound, could be interference or a clue.
I've dismantled the phone and inspected for damage, nothing obvious. While dismantled I tried applying pressure to the speaker flex cable and various other IC's to no effect.
It really seems like a software glitch since it only happens when the device goes to sleep;
You can turn the screen off and unlock within 3 seconds and it will be OK.
If you wait 5 seconds with the screen off - boom, no sound.
Any ideas? Is there some deep idle sleep setting that kicks in after 3 seconds I can disable or some way to log audio errors or... something?
Thanks

May Be The Phone Was Damaged, Try Stock ROM
i'm downloading a different ROM now but it takes hours (rural australian phone lines...)
same result with a different ROM =/ I've fixed many phones, computers etc before but not sure what to investigate here, guess i'll dismantle it and see.
A second rom and kernel same result.
Seems to lose sound as soon as it goes to sleep (screen off), really seems like a software problem but can't find any other reports on this phone similar.
Help!
Anyone?
Looks like a software problem but can't say where you can look.. If kernel is not the cause..
Maybe hardware after all..
sent from here, there, somewhere!!
The only way I can imagine it being hardware is if it's heating an audio ic during boot to make a connection and then when sleeping it cools and the connection is lost. It's a long shot but if it's software why is it not happening to anyone else? No weird software installed or anything.

Does the sound still work through headphones (after the sound stops working)?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
no, it doesn't seem to be headphone jack related.
the only thing I changed (aside from the rom) that I can think of that MAY have done something is some network setting for my carrier (vodafone .au) - there was an option in foxhound rom or something, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, I googled it at the time to see what it was but have since lost the browser history, it was some feature of the phone network that stops sending requests to the network when the phone is sleeping or some such... I'm really grasping at straws there though.
can't seem to find a stock rom for Australia either?
updated OP with more info, sorry for the bump, i'll let this die if no-one's got any ideas.

I think you are talking about fast dormancy toggle.. But I do not think it will cause any problems.. Also as you have already done factory resets an app should not be a problem..
I can only think of hardware faults..
sent from here, there, somewhere!!
yes i just finally remembered it and tried disabling, you're right, no difference.
I'm having trouble figuring out how hardware could be the culprit though, since it's triggered by the screen off for more than 3 seconds, there's something in software causing it.. but you're right, why does it persist over a wipe then? argh!
Downloaded stock rom, problem remains
I have a strange Problem with my HOX+ its unlocked and rooted (but with shipped rom) and whenever i listen to music over the headset, the music stops randomly. It happens on several players and always the beats audio icon in the notification bar disappears. Is anyone experiencing that too?
I'm having the same problem. It only seems to happen when the screen is locked for me.

I've got the same problem too. I'm using viper rom. Happens when plugged in to my amped car sound system via AUX cable. Really sucks when your sound is being amplified and it drops out like that. Kinda ****s up the amplifier/speakers a little too.
Can we get any devs to look into this?
Also, can someone test to see if this issue still happens when using Llior's CM mod? Are you on international or ATT?
I'm on ATT.
Try to disable Power Saver mode. It surely can be related to this.
Yes I have discovered that disabling the power saver mode helps this. But it still happens sometimes. Someone pointed out that it happens less with the screen on. Maybe I should try to edit the minimum clock speed when the phone is in sleep mode? Viper sets it to 50 Mhz. Not sure what I should try setting it to.
If you could try this simple and safe hack : Click!
Worked out for many bugs. Let us know the result please.
Just tried the simple and safe hack. Looks like I did everything properly. Will test out the aux port later today in my car to see if it really did anything.
UPDATE: The hack didn't work. I did test the leaving the screen on trick though. That definitely helps.
It's a hardware issue. My aux port just died today. I hope I have some sort of warranty.
Unfortunately those thing happens. Hoping they honour their warranty, it's an hardware defect after all, it is not a software bug. Time to restore by default.
Let us know how it went.
Actually upon further investigation, a reboot made the AUX port work again... I still think it's a hardware issue.
Greetings.
Just bought the Z5C. Phone is awesome, but when I play anything over the speakers (incoming call, music, etc.) the volume is good for about a second, and then it turns very silent.
Anyone experienced this, or knows something about the issue?

Hey! I had this same issue for the first day that I had the phone. It was driving me crazy. What drives me even more crazy is I don't what I did to fix it. I am not entirely sure, but I noticed a difference after pairing the Z5C to a bluetooth speaker for about 30 minutes. When I unpaired and went back to the speakers on the phone they were substantially better. Hope this helps...

I was trying different things on my phone and decided to factory reset it. After it rebooted the same problem is back. Low volume for second, then super quiet. I tried replicating the same process I thought somehow fixed the issue before and it didn't help. I've tried messing with all the audio settings, toggles here and there but nothing seems to fix it. I wonder what this might be and why the phone all of a sudden started working like it should last time. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi, I had the same problem with lower sound from speakers after 30 seconds. After disabling "STAMINA" the speakers are very loud. And if you put "Audio settings" to "standby aktive" you could even activate "STAMINA" without speaker loudness problems
Yeah happened to me yesterday as I was listening to the Radio app while on a walk. Went from relatively loud to super low quiet. I thought maybe I pocket bumped the volume or something.
Same problem. In my case, I noticed audio almost stops from one of the speakers (sometimes the top one, sometimes the bottom one, wich indicates it may not be a hardware issue). Happens on games, music, videos, or calls with the speaker on. Seems to be random.
searching for this problem (this is also happening to me (mostly top speaker while i playing and mostly games
is only one speaker(top) for me not 2 speakers
(maybe the heat? if im not the only one is hardware or software? ) it was at 5.1.1 so updated to 6.0 still the same.. maybe speaker wont working well while heated? tried to shake the device thought maybe something loose connection inside

hi u manage to fix it?
anyone know how to fix it? at my case its only TOP speaker
mostly happen while gaming
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.

Yeah...But this is the second one I've had that issue on! Coupled with the flaws in the glass on the Titan screens...and the silver I had freezing and not turning on...this quality control is really crap on this phone. And that sucks, because I love this phone more than any Samsung I've had!

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?

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 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.

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?
