On my hd2, if i have my headphones in and i am using the keyboard, which has the clicking sound on, whenever i press any button theres a hiss that comes on.
also, if i am playing music and i pause it, i can hear a hiss in my headphones. Does anyone else's hd2 have the same problem?

It sounds like your headphones might be extremely sensitive, or there's an abnormal amount of EMI in your phone. What headphones are you using? Also, are you running the SRSWow app? Or maybe the HTC Audio Booster?
I'm using Monster Jamz. they work perfectly with other devices.
but its not just the headphones
whenever a sound plays on my speaker, it'll play and then for another second there will be hissing.
i am using audio booster, but it has been hissing before then :/

Are you running a custom/upgrade ROM? If so, did you hard-reset immediaetly after flashing to it?
Nope. Im on the stock Rom.
i tried playing around with the text message tone, and it is really apparent in the MSNMSNGER tone. right after the tone there is ilke 2 seconds where the speaker is definitely on and is hissing

So you're on the original stock rom and never upgraded to the newer one, right?
Did this just start happening out of the blue, or was it always there? I still think it's related to too much EMI (electromagnetic interference) from the your phone somewhere...I've cranked my volume all the way up, and I can't recreate the issue. Since it happens on the speaker and headphones both, it's most likely an internal hardware issue.
I got this phone like 2 days ago and its been there out of the box. To recreate i put the speaker right up to my hear and make any noice (ie. like the click of the keyboard) and afterwears i hear a hissing noise for 2 seconds then it shuts off.
I talked to a t mobile rep and he said for me to wait the 14 days until buyers remorse is over, then they can use the warranty to ship my new phone. thanks for trying to help

Don't wait. Ask for the replacement now.
I would, but the thing is, i bought it on the phone. so i would have to ship it back. then would have to reorder it. that would take about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks and i cannot go without a phone for that long :/.

Anyone having issues with sound quality on their focus. Everytime a sound is played a pronounced hiss and distortion comes through my headphones. When listening to podcasts this hiss is very apparent. I wanted this phone to replace my ipod touch, which does not have this issue. Feedback please, thanks.
I do not have feedback or hiss in any music or app so far. My headset works well too. Not sure but something is up. Have you tried a hard reset and a new set of headphones?
I do notice low overall volume out of the stereo port though...compared to the Tilt 2 my car stereo needs to be turned up about 25% louder to be equivalent.
i think the sound is amazing, especially the external speakers.
As for headphones, have you put the headphones all the way in? It could be that or either worn-out wiring on the headphone cable.
My complaint about the sound is the alarm. When u test a sound for alarm is its very loud. When u set an alarm to go off it seems 1/2 as loud.
Ok, I have done a hard reset and tried with several headphones. The pronounced hiss is still there with some crackling when I change a song. My best guess is the audio output is not working properly. I did test the headphones on my ipod touch with no distortion coming through. Will be taking a trip to the att store for an exchange. While there I will test the floor model to confirm a problem with my device. I hope they are in stock because I took the last one two days ago. I love the phone and with clean audio output I will love it even more.

what became of the at&t store test?
I've had my Focus now for 10 days and I am completely satisfied with it. I have never had any sounds like you describe. Just clean, clear and much better reception than I had on my 2+ year old Fuze that I dearly loved. It was hard to switch to Samsung for me, but I think I made the right choice. So far I really like my Focus and the display is nothing short of fantastic!
I'm having a similiar hissing issue with my Focus as there seems to be a noticeable hiss at low volumes. The sound quality does not appear to be as good as my iPhone 3GS or Zune 80GB.
I'm still within my return window so I'm debating returning the phone and exchanging it for a new Focus.
is there any update on this? i'm really cutting it close to my 30 day warranty period, and i'm not sure if i should return the phone or not.
my issue is that when playing music in zune, you can hear a very faint hiss. if you pause the music, you can hear it for a half second before it stops outputting audio.

Try switching it for a new one while you're still in your window.
Make the switch... before the deadline. No harm no foul and really it is a legitimate complaint.
I have noticed that when using the supplied earphones I can hear static background noise when I scroll through menus and buttons while music is playing. This only happens when music is activated and I can hear a low annoying fuzzy static that gets louder the more I scroll for example.
I can barely hear it when I put on headphones but can with earphones, seems quite strange wonder if anyone else experiences the same thing?
No one? Just try it, turn the volume down while listening to music then go to home screen and scroll left constantly or right and the hissing noise will get louder.
Audio chip or whatever must be quite crappy.
Restarted phone and can't seem to hear it now. Strange.
I'm glad that by talking to your self you've managed to fix this problem.
I spoke to myself to soon! Its back and I suspect it has something to do with the wifi sharing. As I activated kies air, uploaded a song, listened to song and hissing is back! argh.

Try force stopping it? I've frozen most Samsung apps but even before then I had no problems at all with something like this tbh...although I don't use the stock music player.
I have annoying static background noise while using earphones, it can be better heard whilr using the phone when no music is playing.
This is a general issue or isolated cause?
I have this!!! I seem to get possibly some kind of audible distortion just before i play a song, and then when i pause the song and touch the screen it makes the weird static noise (and possibly when the song is playing as well, but its less identifiable). For me this noise only lasts for about 5 seconds after i have paused it and then stops. And yes, it also seems to be louder in earphones than headphones.
HAVE YOU FOUND A FIX? Firmware upgrades? Sent it back and got a replacement? what did you guys do? Let me know, thanks.
Could it be evp?

I installed the Backslash Kernel and THEN noticed this, rebooted and it went.
It came back a while after. I also unplugged the headphones with the music app running and the phone rebooted.
Re-flashed the CF-Root KG1 Kernel and it went away, not had any 'noise' or reboots since :/
I got a replacement from orange as this issue was too distracting. My replacement has just come, but exactly the same 'static noise while and after listening to music' issue is still here!!! Is this really what its like for everyone but people don't bother saying?

KERNAL VERSION: [email protected] #2
On my last phone i tried flashing to generic KE7 AND KF3 (using odin). Both seemed to make the sound last for not as long after i pause the music, but did not solve the issue. Will rooting the phone, using different kernals and whatnot fix this? Could it be a dodgy batch of phones from orange? (I have no knowledge of what rooting and kernals actually is, let alone what ones i should use)
I have also experienced this. It seems the screen is the problem since the noise is gone when the screen is off.
What headphones are you using?
I have used the supplied headphones, but i have also tried other headphones as well. All seem to give the same sound but possibly at varying levels of volume. Do you still have the problem?
I use the Sennheiser CX300 II and I do not experience it any longer.
It depends on the impedance of the headphones. If the impedance is 16 ohm I cannot hear it but on 12 ohm headphones it is pretty obvious (but they are able to play louder).
I have not tried the supplied ones myself because they ALWAYS sound awful but if you had a specific name for a proper headphone you have tried, you can easily find their impedance on the internet.
Hmm well i have tried my creative EP-630 headphones which have impedance of 16 Ohm and i can still hear the noise. I have used many terrible headphones on terrible 'mp3 players' over the years and i have never experienced this, so i don't see why i should now go out and buy some new headphones. Although if you are really saying that the Sennheiser CX300 II headphones completely cured your problem then it might be worth it? Was your problem exactly the same as the one i described? Cheers.
It's obviously a problem of the audio amp picking up electrical noise from the other components of the device. I'm skeptic that anything can be done to solve it.
I also can hear some faint background noise on mine when scroling the screen and using memory, but anyway it's very faint... not enough to bother even in quiet environments.
I have to agree, it's bad shielding in the design. Something we will all have to live with.
I notice it most between songs when listening to music. Each songs starts with a little blast of noise.
Hmmm well i've heard that with certain kernals it is not there. Also for me, simply changing to different stock firmware reduced the time that the static sound lasts after i pause a song, so surely that can mean it can be stopped altogether. Im not prepared to give up on this (yet).
I would be grateful for other information and reports from other people about this issue, even simply if you don't have it. :/

Hey guys.
Is anyone having a problem with the loud speaker sound?
My volume is only half way and there's a tingy/ crackle sound coming from speakers.
It seems like at certain notes or frequencies I hear it but it happens most of the time and it's very annoying.
Everything sounds terrible from my notification sound to even playing games.
I sent my phone in for an issue not long ago and it took 2weeks to get a replacement. Don't really want to send it off for another 2 weeks but I can't live with this sound!
Thanks.
Sounds like you partially blew a speaker.
Quit playing your music so loud? =)

im really careful with my phone! didn't even take off the plastic screen for 2weeks until my screen protector and hard case came.
loll.
if it is partially blown is this covered under warranty?
thanks.
Never turned it up, eh? Take the back cover off and see if there's loose debris where the speakers are that could cause rattling. Also try playing a song or something to see if both or one of the speakers is doing it. If one or both is in fact blown it should be covered.
Something like this just happened to me this morning.
When ever I raise the volume and right before I hear the "beep" sound this crackle sound comes. I turned my phone off and on and it was good.
Hi guys,
just spent an hour configuring my new S4 after (saying goodbye to my Xperia Arc S).
Was excited at first, but now I notice that whenever the S4 has to play sound (notification, ringtone, music) a get a very audible "click" followed by a hissing sound on the background. After the sound has played I get another 2 seconds off hissing, followed by another "click". After that it's silent again. (so whenever it switches the speaker on/off).
Is this a know (software?) issue or am I unlucky and should call warranty on it ?
Thanks !
If it was me I would return for a replacement. Probably bad hardware. I have an VZW S4 and my speaker is fine.

You can try to update to the latest official firmware and see if it's the same. If yes, then you should ask for a replacement.
by any chance is it making the same noise as this?
this is what mine sounds like

No it's another noise. Vibrate works fine, sound itself is also ok. It's just that whenever the speaker is activated I hear this click and background noise.

My brothers i9500 loudspeaker stopped working after owning it 2 months.Since i9500 is not officially sold in Romania,I ordered a replacement part from eBay.My question is if I replace the loudspeaker will it work as it did before? I upgraded and downgraded the FW and the sound came back for 10 minutes,but then it made strange noise and it stopped working.Also because of this issue it's not detecting the earphones eather (BTW they working when the sound came back for 10 mins).
My question is :
1.Does the loudspeaker has any connection to the earphone functionality as it's not working ATM?
2.Replacing the loudspeaker will resolve this issue? Or it's a serious HW failure.
P.S.I should mention that everything else works just fine ex.camera,vibration,ear speaker,battery holds charge.It's just it doesn't output any sound at all.
Thanks in advance for your answer.Waiting for a reply.
I just got my moto x Pure a few days ago and i noticed when i receive a text message i get this pop noise after the notification sound stops playing. I went in the settings to change the notification sound and as im switching between them they all have a pop noise always after there done playing or sometimes before playing. If i try to change the ring tone it doesn't happen, they start and end fine with no pop noise. I remember having a similuar issue with my nexus 4 and to remedy the situation i would disable touch sounds and vibration but it doesnt seem to help with this phone.
Someone on reddit said he had the same issue. Anyone else experience this ?
Yep. Happens on my too. It's the speaker going online and standby. Happens on all phones, but in Moto X Pure is loud and noticeable. Cheap speaker? Don't know. Also on my, when playing the tone "Zeta" I get bad speaker crackling noise. Specially when volume is high.

i adjusted the bass in the audio equalizer and it seems to help with ring tones like the zeta, at least i think it did.
I dont get the pop noise when i play a youtube video or listen to google music, so its weird to me.

Thank you for posting this. Now I know I'm not the only one with the problem. I was worrying I'd have to do an RMA, but maybe this'll be fixable with a software update.
Didn't even notice the crackling until I specifically listened for it. Now I can't unhear it. Ughh! This is going to drive me nuts. Similar issue with my N6. Playing music or videos there is no problem. Just notifications and ringtones.

Pretty sure they are. I have both though. I notice the pop very easily at night. I have a few apps set to priority, so they'll ring even when I'm sleeping. Last night I got a couple notifications and definitely heard an audible pop about a second after the tone stopped playing. It seems like it happens when power is being cut to the speaker.
My Nexus 6 had similar QC issues. The phone stopped detecting SIM cards about a month after I bought it. Moto sent me a replacement which I sold because it was NIB. Beginning to worry that Lenovo is cheaping out a bit too much on their flagships.
I don't have my phone in hand yet so...has anyone tried some third party ringtones or notifications? The reason I ask is because I imagine it's possible that the default recorded sounds may have some type of silent space after the "music" or the sound stops causing this. Maybe somebody can try a few home made ones to see if it still happens.
Yes i tried third party notification sounds. Same thing happens
Anyone else affected by this bug
Getting the pop noise as well. It's very noticeable. I'll hold off for awhile and see what Moto does about the issue.
I've got it as described above. Sounds like power coming on and then cutting off. Reminds me of powering on and off an old boombox from the 80's.

I have no POP noise at all. As I said before I think it has to do with the earliest batches that were delivered. Even though I ordered on the second day of pre-order I received mine several days after many others. Maybe I got mine from a second, or later batch?? No speaker distortion either even at full volume!
Decided to return it and get another one. Maybe I just got one of the bad batches. I also had a small scratch on it right out of the box. Would've ignored the scratch if everything else was good... but I can't unhear the speaker crackles and pop.
waiting now for return authorization for this problem, which is a little hairy because I'm not the original owner. I do have the receipt though--shouldn't the warranty transfer?
That pop noise very noticable when using viber...
Also try to press keyboard keys and put the speaker closer to the ear... Its like speakers are turn on/off ...
yeah, it's the amplifier shutting off. happens on crappy laptop soundcards too usually. pretty much all of them have it.
