Static between rings when dailing?

When you are dialing someone, does anyone else get a static click in the quiet part between rings?
It's really bugging me! Any suggestions on how to stop it?
It has been there with the inital 1.03, through 1.06 and now is still there with 1.11
Thanks
Marc

Well, I have this sound on my device, too.
I guess it's caused by the basic design of the magicians hardware: there are (simply spoken) two parts inside the magician - one part is the PocketPC hardware, the other is like a normal cellular phone. When switching audio from the PocketPC part (playing music, ringtones, sound notifications, etc.) to the phone part (making calls), the click you mentioned appears.
However, I haven't found a definite solution exept for lowering down the magicains sound level (switch on the left side or tapping the speaker icon in the taskbar on top of the screen while not making a call).

I am not sure why you would get a click specifically but I think there are general issues with the quality of the analog components (i.e. speakers and amplifiers) in the JAM. I don't think firmware can help us as much as I hate to think it.
I remember the Sony Ericsson T68 had a similar problem. Sound quality was poor and sometimes it was very hard to hear people on the other end of the phone. Nothing could be done to fix it short of getting a different phone.
Finally, I think the reason why some people have claimed to hear an improvement after applying new firmware (other than changes in the registry values for priority and volume) has more to do with the power of suggestion rather than any actual measurable change.

I get that noise too, however I'm not very annoyed with it since it goes away as soon as the call is connected.
I'm running 1.06 radio ROM, and I for one noticed a very significant audio quality improvement when upgrading från 1.01. The quite heavy distortion vanished completely, and the crackling noises disappeared too.

Distorted calls through speaker after WM6.5 upgraded

Anyone else having this issue? This is a straight up legit T-Mobile phone with stock ROM and WM6.5 upgrade. I've noticed that calls through the speaker are now distorted, blue tooth clarity remains fine though.

Hmmm...no one?

Mine after the upgrade sounds fine

I've had the same issue the entire time I've had my Dash. Right out of the box I had distortion and a crackling in the speaker - i thought i might have had a bad connection on that particular phone call. After flashing - about a month agio, it's continued. As frustrating as TMobile makes me at times, I dont want to try to hash it out with them. I might reflash to see if that helps but I'[m afraid it wont

Could be hardware related, if the contacts are dirty or the speaker is not set properly it will crack.. could be a bad batch of devices.. get a new one under warranty if possible. I got three Dash 3G's the first day they came out and all three sound fine.

Finally couldn't take it anymore and took it back to the T-Mobile store. The new one should arrive this week.

Hi Rotagilla, would be interested to hear if the new one had the same loudspeaker distortion. mine does the same thing and has done from new. i just thought it was a crap quality speaker

The replacment phone just got sent back and I'm now on #3. The same issue happened again...calls started off very clear but then seemed to degrade to the point where unless I was using BT, the audio quality was terrible. I'm not upgrading the phone to WM6.5 at this time, I'm going to wait and see if the same thing happens again. BTW, the TMO rep I dealt wth most recently was excellent...really first class all the way.

Looks like the speaker will continue to be a last resort. BT seems the only way to get clear reception. thanks.....i dont like my chances with a replacement from Telstra. The only thing that disappoints me with this one is not being able to edit the menu items and not having the Voice Dialling tags. replacing it with the Voice Command is a quantum leap backward, otherwise a great phone.

Well the most recent replacement has started doing the same thing. I did not upgrade to WM6.5 and this one lasted the longest before giving in to the speaker distortion gremlin. Pretty bummed about this, guess I'll just have to live with it.

Noise in Call

Hi,
I have bought a HTC Leo, and found a problem that I don't know if it's normal, but I think not... When I'm in a call and the person other side is quiet and i'm quiet, and the ambient it is quiet, I begin to hear an intermittent noise (roar). Anyone have this problem? How can I solve this?
Thanks.

Anyone?

yep, have this on tmob radios. when i use other radio roms i get the annoying crackling speaker issue... because of that i stick to the tmob radio roms and try to live with the background noise!

Yes, but my rom it's original, i didn't change that, it's very bad doing this noise...
Thanks for the reply.

[Q] Echo in calls

Does anybody else have problems where the person you call hears them selves talk? There voice is echoing!
Does flashing a custom rom stop this or is it because of the Crystal Talk stuff?
Thanks

It is possible that you're using speakers and the voice is so loud that they actually hear themselves? If you have not flash a custom rom and you're on official rom then no, you should ask the company to look into this if you still have the warranty.

It's not on loud speaker and the volume is at the lowest point. I only got it on Thursday arranged for it to go back.

Does it do it everywhere? I have had problems with all of my tmobile phones on occasion. Not sure why. My last phone used to do it all the time. Very annoying. Only had it happen once with the defy in the last month.

Never had it before with any phone I have owned. It's seems to be worse when i'm outside when the wind is hitting the second mic, also when this happens it sort of makes it sort of sound like i've got my head in a box when I talk. Hope that makes sense? Iv'e tried all the call quality settings but it's still the same. It has to be this Crystal Talk Type or what ever it is..
Thanks for the reply guys.

Our of curiosity, while this is happening, have you tried opening the usb cover to see if that changes the sound. There is at least one report of a "pressurized" effect on the Defy (as it's sealed) causing sound issues, relieved when the ysb cover or battery cover are removed.

hhmmmmm interesting, I did think about the hands free speaker being behind the battery cover when I tried calling someone and they said it was terrible echo.
I'll go and try it and let you know.
Thanks

echo?
hi guys. i have a real problem here.... when i call a friend or anyone else i can hear my voice repeated after 1 second just like an echo. many times i cant even hear what they are saying to me because i just listening my voice again and again.. i dont think that i am the onlyone with that problem because another friend who has a dhd rooted just like mine different roms has the same problems.... thnx for any help..

hey im having the same problem with my new defy plus phone? did you find any solutions

Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.

Even if this thread is old, is there a solution?

I hear weird sound....

I flashed my phone to SC 2.4 voodoo and everything works fine except that whenever I am on the phone I hear weird sound. It doesnt happen when screen is not on. I think it has to do with some kind of sensor btw you phone and your ear. When screen is on because the phone is not close enough to your ear, it makes sound but as soon as you put your phone close to your ear so that no longer screen is on then I dont hear anymore.....it could not be a big deal...but it kinda bothers me....so plz any suggestions will b greatly appreciated!!

What sort of sound is it? Is it a very high pitched constant tone? Or something else?

Heya,
That sound comes from the screen turning on. Its some sort of frequency noise. Not sure if there is a fix for it.

Not the first to report it, it's happened on other roms as well.

Yep. Not a problem for me on DL09
Got it on both froyo leaks as does my friends fascinate
Doesnt bother me too much though
the texts greater than 160 chars coming through as gibberish or not coming through to non-verizon customers is whats getting annoying to me.
I turned on the simple split 160 option in handcent but something about splitting texts into multiple texts just feels wrong to me :S

I do not believe that there is a fix for it at the moment. But I have noticed that with 2.2 as well. From what I remember I think it has something to do with the soft keys and screen lighting up when on the phone is moved from your ear.

I've noticed this also. But only since EB01 (I think...lol). It does get somewhat annoying but not really that bad. Would love a fix. Superclean 2.4nv

Good. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one hearing this.
I'm just hoping that the noise isn't the sound of something being damaged in my phone. ...like some internal component that is receiving too much power.
To describe the noise, it's pretty much the same kind of noise that a light-up watch makes whenever you turn on the light. I don't know if any of you have ever stuck your ear up to a Timex Indiglo, or something similar, but there is a little "wheeeeeee" kind of noise that is emitted by the light.
*EDIT*
Ok. More info on the odd noise coming out of the phone. It only happens when the phone is in a call. So it is something related to the proximity sensor. Is it possible that EB01 is sending too much voltage through the proximity sensor?
If you are not in a call, even if both the screen and the soft keys are enabled, there is no odd noise. When you are in a call and the screen is on, a weird noise is made. As soon as the screen goes off, the noise stops.
