Hi all,
I noticed a while ago but it's become increasingly maddening. The phone connection sound (which i can't describe very well, but you hear it when your phone's too near an amp or a speaker and it makes that repetitive whining beeping noise, especially when call & texts coming in) seems to be on nearly all the time. Anytime i've got anything even slightly nearby it's going off constantly. I hear it (as does the person i'm talking to) when i'm on my office landline over a metre away. It's picked up right across my bedroom (up to 3m) and blares out of the surround sound speakers. I could live with it if it was occasional or only when calls or texts were coming in (like it used to be for previous phones) but when it's permanent it's infuriating!
Could it be a setting I've got enabled either in TweakHD or Avdanced Settings or the normal settings? Something along the lines of "always make annoying connection noise: ON"? Could it be an issue with the Rom or Radio (energy ROM april8th build will update flash this week, radio 1.17.25.09.
Thanks in advance!

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.
I'm sure everyone is familiar with the noise that GSM phones cause to come through computer speakers if the phone is placed close to them. I am getting the same sound out of the earpiece when placing a call. Is this normal? After the call connects, I don't hear the sounds anymore. Anyone else experience this with an 8525?
I have heard it at random times as well but its very random... the only thing I notice is that it happens more often than not after I have woken the device up.

i get this occasionally with my 8525. it might happen more often than occasionally, but i'm in a 3G area 95% of the time and the interference doesn't occur with WCDMA. it seems to happen when i'm in a low signal GSM coverage area, probably due to the radio pumping out more power to stay in touch.
if it happened during calls i'd worry about it, but since it's only for a second or two during the call initiation i'm not too concerned.

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
Hi
Is this issue allready raised?
During a phone call I can hear a significant background noise like if it would be a "not good" connection. But my counterpart is hearing me quite nicely.
The noise is there IF I call somebody than it is significant and realy to loud to "overhear" it.
On the other side if a get a call, there is nearly no noise at all.
All testing was done with 2 different phones and alwasy the same counterpart
Therefore I hope that this could be influenced by a better finetuning of the firmware/radio.
any idea - trick - recommendation?
Best regards,
dingolino
i'm having the same problem.
Whenever I call someone, I can ear a low noise similar to radio static in short bursts...
Haven't noticed if the same happens when i'm receiving a call so I will have to test this.

Radio interference kind of noise in the handset speaker when on a call..
I have a similar problem on my HTC Desire Z. I got this phone 2 days back in New Delhi, India from a HTC dealer (no worries about the source here). I'm using it on a GSM network (Vodafone). Its a beauty, with excellent call quality and clarity, superb screen resolution and colors, great speed and very good build quality.
But for one single nagging issue...
When on a call, sometimes, the handset speaker starts giving a soft dull crackling sound.. radio interference (like the one you hear when you bring a handset close to unshielded speakers). It stays on and may or may not go away during the call. Sometimes this noise is not heard at all. I have tried changing locations, holding it at different angles, switching off all wireless (blue-tooth and WiFi), using another network's SIM card and played around with all the settings and options within the handset (like turning off cell broadcast, selecting 'GSM Only' network etc).
But the problem remains.
This noise is not there when I use the headset. Its also not there when I use the speakerphone (when using the speaker phone, the device uses a second speaker and not the regular one on the front of the handset).
Even though I plan to write to HTC today and try and get a replacement device, I thought I will try looking for a solution too (though there are hardly any leads on this on the internet). Does anyone else with a HTC Desire Z face this problem, of radio interference sound on the handset speaker?
If anyone knows of a solution, please do let me know. Thanks in advance..
Ok... I just experienced something which was very strange and quite worrying.
I initiated a call in android... got 5 seconds of silence followed by what sounded like garbled voices. My signal is always weak in this location so I assumed I was connected and could hear my friend talking..... so I began with the usual "hello, HELLO, Can you hear me?"....
THEN I heard the phone ringing (MY CALL HADNT BEEN ANSWERED YET)
Before and during some of the ringing sound, I could hear what I am certain was a human voice albeit very garbled and incomprehensible.
Is it at all possible that I got a 'crossed line'? Is that even possible in this day and age?
As my signal is usually weak here so I do sometimes get garbled audio especially while calling out - but this sounded very different and I am 99% sure it was a human voice.
Has anyone ever experienced anything similar under android on the hd2? or even under winmo? Would hate to think someone could be listening in to my conversations
anyone?
edit: radio+ROM= as per sig... build= hyperdroid v1.1
That's funny I was just speaking on my g1 and I use to get that dime times on my g1 so I am guessing its android thing maybe with there radios....or it could be ghost trying to communicate with you from the other side ...maybe Google collecting some more data LOL but if I was ever in that situation again I would battery pull immediately....
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It's a somewhat common occurance, mobiles picking up other mobile phone calls...hasnt happened to me but was actually watching a show that talked about it recently.

Did you notice any black helicopters flying overhead during this time?
its how gsm works.. cdma each phone has its own identity.. with gsm before you connect to the call the connection to the tower is open, every phone is on the same channel.
you were probably hearing digital background noise. the actual voices you were hearing were probably your own being echoed back.
