Recently my friends have been complaining of lots of buzzing from my phone when I make or receive calls. I called my house phone and noticed that sometimes I could hear the GSM radio noise that I often hear around speakers. I can't hear the buzzing on my end of the phone, only the person on the other end can. Also a lot of the time it comes and goes much like the GSM radio noise does when you leave a phone by speakers.
I think it's been going since at least the official WM6 update from AT&T(not sure what radio version was packaged with that), but it could have been longer. I updated the VP3Gs 3.62 rom and the 1.48.00 radio today and still got the buzzing. Also tried the 1.54.07 radio as well but got the same results.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Also, has anyone noticed that if you put hte 8525 just about an 1" from your ear a high pitched whine is being emitted? Can't hear while the phone is pressed to your ear, but still annoying none the less. Thought it might be related to my other problems perhaps.

I've noticed over the past few weeks that my TyTN now seems to be interfering with itself. As in the noise that your speakers make when your phone is near them and communicating with the tower. Only it seems to be doing this to it's own internal speaker. Btw my service is Cingular. Anyone else experiencing this?
My 8525 just started doing that about a week ago.
It's a faint sound just like you would hear through radio speakers
except it's coming right from the headset. (not speaker-phone)
Yea, it's just as if that gsm interference sound is interfering with it's own speaker.
Others have reported a louder noise coming the back speaker when their Hermes was just setting on the table or night stand.
In response someone suggested that maybe the battery wasn't insulated well enough.
I have cingular and I had a similar problem with my Razr, so far I haven't had the problem with my 8525 which I just got last week. It was really annoying.
I've found that this only tends to happen when I have the display turned off. Also, turning the display on when this happens appears to immediately stop it. Odd.
it seems the speaker on the hermes is not shielded properly. i had this problem on my old samsung z100.
Same here with my v1605 - an annoyingly loud hum. After a soft reset, it does not occur until any sound file (e.g. ring tone) is played. Switching the display on stops it temporarily.
With my first one, it started after about a week and became really annoying, so I got it swapped. With the replacement I got then it occured twice so far, but it has been quiet now for maybe 10 days.

Ditto with my 8525. Very annoying.
I'm having the same issue with a brand-new 8525. It doesn't always seem to happen (I'm using direct push), but sometimes when it is receiving mail it will.
Anyone found a fix or really nailed down what the issue is?
yeah, i have a similar problem. whenever i'm connecting to a phone call or data session it makes buzzing noises in my computer speakers. i would love a fix for this.
Hi All,
I'm using my wizard as a cell phone (without bluetooth), and the people on the other end complain that they hear themselves, with a second-long delay. They hear me just fine, but it's really distracting to hear what you just said come back to you about a second later (it's very low volume, obviously). What I'm saying does not come back to me, only the people on the other end have this problem. Is there any solution to this problem? Is this a known problem? I'm on WM6, 2.19.11 radio and use Rogers in Canada.
Thanks!
Thats usually a sign you have your earpiece volume set too high and it is passing back to them via the mike.
Try turning the volume down whilst in a call and see if that helps.
Thanks, buit it doesn't seem to work too well. I think it may be on the recieving side, or may have something to do with reception. Actually, I noticed that the speaker volume adjusting doesn't actually make the speaker louder/quieter, it has next to no effect.
Hello all:
If this has been covered or solved elsewhere, could you please refer me to said thread? Anyway, I have a problem where my girlfriend's 8525 emits its own GSM noise into the call. I.E. you'll be talking to her, then suddenly you here the GSM interfeerance. It varries from mild, to annoyingly loud. Sometimes, it cuts out, then resumes after a minute or so. That is not consistent however. That phone used to be mine, so I noticed it coming through the earpiece, however it was too soft to bother me.
One more thing. I noticed that windows system sounds appear to be piped through to the caller as well. I'm thinking, that if there's some registry tweek to disable that, perhaps it will also prevent the GSM noise from being piped through. Just a suggestion.
By the way, this phone is sim and sid unlocked and has the HTC rom, V3.54.255.3, and radio V1.54.07.00. Thanks, gladly appreciate any help or suggestions.
Is it only me or is everyone with HD experienceing noise during a voice call. The other person don't complain about it but at my end there is always a distorting noise from an earpiece during a voice call like a an electric interference. (and this is irrelevant to my location or signal strength - I get it everywhere).
should I get my HD replaced by Orange ?
I also experienced the weird electronic interference sound, but only twice so far (I've had the phone for over one month). The person on the other end couldn't hear it either time, and it only lasted a couple of seconds. It hasn't been a significant problem for me and I haven't heard it in a while.
I can also confirm that strange noise appeared during calls at least few times in last month and a half of usage. On some occasions I would hear my own last word being distorted and on others simply static-interference effects. Nothing too bad, but it does happen.
Hi all,
I've experienced this too.
1. Which ROM version do you use ? I've upgraded mine and the noise disappeared.
2. Yesterday I heard that noise again (first time for 10 days), but it was very silent and about 3-4 seconds. Then I realise that the noise is coming while in call ONLY when I am at home.
So I think that there might be some problem with the operator cell covering my house.
Anyway ..... try to find suitable NEW ROM for your phone ....it will make things better I hope.
Good luck!
P.S.:
Old ROM : 1.14.405.0 WWE
New ROM : 1.14.479.3 WWE
It's OK now
Since a couple of days I started to hear some noises in the speaker when calling or receiving a call. It's something like hearing the other person outdoor with the wind blowing, and its getting worse when I am moving.
Any idead what to do before sending Blackstone to the provider? I tried to change rates/bands from 3G/GSM because I played with it before and also reflashed the rom with 1.7 DUtty's - no effect. I think I am gonna reflash the radio - not sure if that would help.
PS I've also checked the speaker in search of hair, dust, debris - it's clear but doesnt sound like. Funny thing - the voice in the headset are perfect also the music is alright so I am getting the feeling that it could be software issue.
Please kindly advise
another strange issue - I did a hard reset and the noise is gone (using the 3g) however when lying down on bed talking through it in the horizontal position I can hear that noise again (although not so loud and often as before which is fine)
could it be the g-sensor issue?
Had The exact same problem with my first 2 touch hd`s. I got both replaced on warranty. The first one worked at first but got gradually worse. The second one came like that. I am now on my third and no problems so far.
Tried everything to fix the first 2. New radios, hard reset. Nothing seems to fix it.
why there's no interference when on loudspeaker or playing music? seems that the speaker is fine.
checked the sim in other phone - fine. WTF? I'll try to reflash the radio tomorrow if not sending it back to be replaced.
How to obtain orange fault code which is needed by my phone provider? call the cs?
