Hi guys,
Bought a Shift x9000 (cdma) a couple of weeks ago. Really like it.
However, today it started making a strange noise--something like static, something like hissing. It's not the fan noise, that's quiet. I also note that the sound icon in the tray stops responding or responds very very slowly.
It's not a constant noise...will come on for a few minutes then go off, then come on suddenly again.
Any thoughts??
More info...
Disabling and the enabling the sound card driver stops the sound temporarily. Also, related or not while the noise is on, the Shift control ctr. becomes very unstable..

Hi guys,
I've found a very interesting sound effect on my O2 XDA Mini (=Magician). I've been having the phone for a few days only, but right from the very first calls I noticed that the speaker creates a very high frequency continuous beep-sound, not loud of course, but crazy high, something like the well-known side effect of the old CRT TVs. At first I thought it is produced during a conversation. Then today, I held my phone to my ears without any calls, and guess what: the beep is there. :shock: It's produced always!
I started to look around, and had a hunch that the LCD backlight can be the problem. I played a little with the backlight setting and found that I was right, the sound is poduced only when the light is set to low. It's loudest at the first notch of the light slider, and gets more and more quiet as you set the backlight higher.
Now I wonder if it's a special problem with my phone (like some bad quality filtering somewhere in the power electronics of the backlight system) or if it is the same with your devices.
Please try it and post your comments. Listen closely! And try both ears (not kidding), the sound is very quiet and very high in frequency, so your ears may not be up to the task to pick it.
Have to be honest I can't get a quite second at the moment but I'm pretty sure I've noticed this noise before as well. Another noise which can be irritating is the GSM radio module and it's intermitting buzzing (a quiet version of what you hear when unshielded speakers pick up your signal).
So basically I'm not sure but I think it's a generic issue with the backlight
Hi,
I found that too....
it's quite irritating as it looks like an old TV turned on.
I hope that won't be a problem to our ear in the future
Anyone else hear an intermittent noise while charging (noise lasts a long time, immediately stops when removed from charger, but sometimes stops on its own) that sounds like quiet TV static? cshhhhhhkk (lol)
I am truly disappointed in the myriad of little issues with this hardware (I got shocked by my headphones today)
No noise coming from mine. I would call up HTC and maybe get it replaced...
Yeah, I would definitely return it for another one.
Just had this happen on two Venue Pros with latest firmware and Mango. On each phone, after a while the sound that plays out of the external speaker is cut off. You can hear alerts and ringtones play for a fraction of a second before they are cut off. It will still vibrate. This also affects the speakerphone, which won't play any audio during a call. Games won't have any audio. The earphone speaker works fine.
Originally I thought this was a hardware defect, since others have had faulty speakerphone connections, but after restoring Nodo on both phones, the sound returned but was still spotty on one phone (leads me to point to the FW). Back on Mango, the behavior continues at random times, persisting after a reboot and sometimes working after a reboot.
Toggling the sound sliders on the ringtones + sounds setting page seems to trigger it and sometimes solve it. My theory is that this is a driver issue with the new FW, or the new Mango beta.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
81 views and no one has anything similar?
Mine did the same thing
My DVP was 8 days old when this happened to me and called dell to get a replacement immediately. I updated to mango and ran it for a long period ogf time before it happened. I may have a defective unit, but it hasnt happened again.
this is a hardware issue. sometimes by just holding the phone it goes away.
if it happens again put pressure on the bottom have of the keyboard or the bottom back and the battery cover.
i find sometime when i turn the handset to the side (to play a game) it does it and when i turn it back its ok again.
also it seems mango can go to a higher sound lever what will make the connection to the speaker have more porblems if you have it high.
ps. also it you pull up or down the slider ( to reveal the keyboard) to fast it can make the connection go out.
ps2. i wish someone would do a teardown of the dvp so i can see how the connect is made.
hope this helps
Hi guys, I'm getting weird audio cuts, it happens on any app and even on sammys test (*#01*#), the speaker goes quiet and you hear only a very quiet hiss coming out, sometimes it fades out and back up sometimes it is abrupt. I don't use Greenify/Package disabler, already did usb routing and soundabout, easy mute, okay google and such, no luck. Is it an hardware issue?
I recently started to hear faint clicking/ticking noises coming from the earpiece while having phone calls on my S8 (I heard those noises in the past but I thought they were caused by the other person on the call).
I downloaded an app called "Earpiece" (that lets you listen to music trough the earpiece instead of the speakers) and the ticking noises persist (even if I'm not having a phone call).
What's even weirder than that, I actually discovered that the earpiece makes those noises all the time (even when I'm not listening to anything and I'm not having a phone call), but they are not that loud.
I found that if I turn Airplane Mode on (without Wifi enabled), the noises stop. To give you some concrete examples:
- Connected to network( + WiFi on): Earpiece makes those noises at all times.
- Airplane Mode on + Wifi on: Earpiece makes noises at all times.
- Airplane Mode on + WiFi off: Earpiece doesn't make any noises. If I listen to offline music trough the earpiece (using "Earpiece" app) there are also no clicking noises.
* Those clicking noises don't have a constant rythm (they sometimes stop for a second or two).
*If I press my ear to the earpiece a bit, I can hear them very very well.
What do you think might cause this?
Thanks.
I am also suffering from a similar issue.
I haven't much noticed if it is there with wifi on or off etc, but it is really irritating.
Samsung says if you can prove we can refund, but it is really difficult to prove. I have noticed that when I press the phone hard on my ears the noise diminishes but doesn't go away.
is your problem solved, please share an update or any other please suggest a workaround.
Thanks
even i am facing same issue after updating to 8.0 beta version
Strange clicking from my Samsung S8+.
I have been hearing a strange clicking sound from my smartphone. Not being used or on charger, it makes this clicking sound that is very quiet but others do hear it. Is there an app that would cause this?
Having same issue seems to be the WiFi makes faint clicking noises while it's transferring data back and to anyone resolved the problem. Only an issue while I am on the phone
I have this issue as well- but it is so quiet you can't hear it unless the room your in in pretty silent
If you open the camera app and listen to the call speaker it gets alot worse. Think it's the WiFi mechanism vibrating against the outo focus mechanism of the camera
