Does anyone have a "crakle" sound in the earpiece - usually happens when someone speaks loud and the word starts with a p, b etc.
I've turned the volume down as it is quite loud.
hi,
im have the same problem the ear speaker is very loud and on my phone is the i and e ! i think the speaker is creaking... that too loud... have a Prof. a idea please ?? the volume is on dialog on Minimum.
thanks
Yes. I too have this problem.
when the volume is louder, the speaker creaks.
I have the same problem with my iPhone 3gs but with much higher volume.
Yes the ear volume is too loud.. They must make a fix for this
Is this think going to be fixed or should I drop my device ?
the HD I bought a year ago didn't have any of the HD2 issues
I have this problem, haptic touch vibration makes a strange rattling sound as well. I contacted VF and they said when they have more in stock they will send o new one to me......
anyone solved this?
Please can you tell if and how anyone solved the occaisonal Crakle in Ear Piece? Me too have the same problem with hd2 and latest rom allready on the device.It is very strange problem.

No fix as yet. No guarantees there will ever be! There is a thread concerned with this already.
So HTC was working on the SD card fix which was not even mentioned in the threads ( I did not notice someone really screaming because of it. maybe someone did but not as much as 8000 users ) which is a minor issue but they seem to ignore the crackling issue!!?? I did not receive any update since more than a month. Can someone please for god's sake contact them ? I said PLEASE because it's a major flaw...
My HD2 also suffers from the occasional crackle and sound distortion . Sound quality of my old N95 was far superior. Hope that its just a firmware issue and that an update will be released shortly. Generally happy with the phone overall though .
anyone get a hiss pulsating every now and then? its not everytime i take/make a call but just sometimes. its annoying! lol.

Yep, I heard it yesterday for the first time, not sure it was their all the time or that i had just noticed it.......all i know is that it drove me mad to the point that i had to hang up.
My first handset had the earpiece crackling, so I had it exchanged today. Sadly the new one also has this problem. I've called T-Mobile to see if I can get another exchange, but they'll only do one exchange and I've used that one up
I now have until next Tuesday (so Thurs this week thanks to Xmas bank hols) to decide whether to return or keep the phone.....Aaarrrrggghh!!!
I now understand why Vodafone dropped the HD2 from their line up. It's a great gadget for people like us, but just not finished enough to sell as a top of the range phone to the general public.

They all do it, it isn't that your particular handset is faulty. I've had two as well.
Ah, okay then. I had thought that I was just a bit unlucky. Hopefully there'll be a volume-fix out soon then.
I have same problem, hopping for a fix soon.
Right after flashing with a new baked rom from here i have sorted out many of the software "glitches" the oem rom had and the phones performance is quite good.
im still pretty annoyed at htc that i have to rely on the community to fix their poorly coded software
but at the end of the day its device is one thing .... a phone!!!!! ....and at that, yet again it fails !! the signal reception is crap ... and when it does work the call quality is shocking for such a state of the art handset.
my sisters 2 year old samsung piece of junk gets full signal on the same network, where mine struggles with 1 bar...
rant over .....
have you tried diffrent radio?
i have 2.04.50.22_2 which i think is the newest for my country (uk) the new raido did improve it slightly but it still sucks !

Nope. I've never had any problems with SMS either and, as far as I'm concerned, the reception on this phone is 100% fine.
Thread after thread on this forum seems to be taken up with whiners who assume that every little quibble that they have is a problem for everyone. For the record, not only am I perfectly happy with my HD2 but I think HTC did a brilliant job with the hardware AND the software.
+1
I am tired of HTC bashing ... Stop it, please.
If you don't like the phone, sell it. I am very happy with mine. Never had sms problem and reception is just excellent. So the problem is not the phone it self.
No SMS problems with mine either, no bad reception, but several other "glitches".
But then again, im throwing .cabs at this phone in an extreme pace
I really do like the phone and would not want to sell it for one minute. However I do not make many calls.
My reception is shocking as well. In comparison to other phones the reception is extremely poor at best.
I said in a thread a while ago that this phone is fundamentally flawed. I say this because of the positioning of the aerial at the bottom of the phone - and HTC's recommendation not to hold it at the bottom. How the hell else do you hold a phone? And why put the aerial there in the first place?
I really don't think that the phone will get any better with ROM updates.
What I do not like about this phone is the keyboard/touchscreen. I'm slowly getting to grips with it but it's a slow process and quite frustrating. It runs very smooth no crashing or hangups thankfully. I had the SMS bug but turning it off and on cured that..for now. I've sent three texts in landscape mode typing by accident, urgh!
Signal wise, I get an average of 3/full bars in my bedroom. Living on the border between Northern and Republic of Ireland I barely got 2 with previous phones (LG Secret/Xperia X1) using o2. This is stock ROM (1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE) and stock radio (2.04.50.22_2). I'm very impressed with signal alone, but I try not to cover up the bottom.
Well I have never had to modify the way I hold the phone and, as I said before, I don't have any reception problems. If the phone were "fundamentally flawed" as you suggest then the problem you report would be experienced universally.
If people have issues with their phone then I don't have a problem with them discussing them to work together to find a solution. However, that's not what is happening in this forum. Instead people are just whining, complaining and making ridiculous claims and assumptions. The phone isn't fundamentally flawed, it works perfectly for the silent majority who don't have any problems. I understand if people get frustrated by annoying problems but you'd be far better off working constructively to find solutions rather than talking crap.

A solution to what exactly? the fact that the phone has an aerial in a silly place. Best reach for my multitools in order to reach a solution that is constructive then.

Totally agreed. The other small issue that people are forgetting is that if you sell the HD2 then you are fairly certain to lose money.

As I said, there's nothing wrong with the position of the aerial. However, feel free to go ahead and prove me right.

No, all it tells me is that most people that come here to complain are having problems. Nothing more and nothing less.
Has it occurred to you that you might be the problem rather than HTC or the phone? In between all the *****ing and moaning you haven't bothered to tell us anything about what you've done to the phone. How do we know that you haven't installed an application that's responsible for the problems you're experiencing? How do we know that you haven't changed a setting or cocked up a registry setting? If you want help then stop this childish ranting, otherwise don't bother posting.

try going to the official HTC web site, download all the software updates. As for the reception, change the bandwidth in order to get full 3g network coverage but be warned, it will drain your batter even more!
Hi guys.
Right. I've got a really weird and very frustrating problem.
I had a white Xperia X10.. and was experiencing some problems with it. The person on the other end of the phone was complaining about a random banging/knocking sound that was happening every few seconds or minutes.. and also that they could hear themselves talk intermittantly.
I bared with this for a few weeks till I got fed up and sent it to Sony. They sent it back saying 'it passed all the tests', but the problem was still there!
So, I got rid of it, and bought a new black one.. and guess what.. same problem!.
Its just too coincidental that the same thing happened with 2 different phones. Also, there is only 1 person that complains about this (we're both on O2, and she's using the HTC Desire).
I first thought that it was her phone, or it was my simcard.. but it cant be, because I used my simcard in another phone for a week and there were no problems, and she's not had this problem with anyone else.
Its soo frustrating I just dont know what to do now!!
Has anyone else experienced this?
I have the same problem... i heard maybe fixed in the update but I dunno its really frustrating.. at first i thought it was other cell phone till other people told me about.. had the phone for 3 months so i doubt it covered under warrenty..
Well.. the previous X10 I had had the old firmware (016), and the new one I have right now has the latest build!(023).. so it cant be that...
Please help
I have this problem from the first day I bought the phone
'They all do that , guv'
Issue with mine as well...... I dont know why SE is not doing anything......
Definitely also have that problem.
Same here + incoming callers can hear echo
If SE dont fix it soon i gonna sell it and buy Galaxy S or wait for the new "Desire HD"
My opinion, they have used bad quality speakers sins SE have not fixed it and we (i) can hear crackling sounds sometimes.
Axuly the same problem is with the vibrator.. to weak, bad quality on the motor/to small?
Sell it, get desire, galaxy, etc.
Or use MW600 which comes cheaper and it has a FM radio too.
Both my wife and I purchased x10's and other than the call volume\noise issues we're happy with them.
It is a big problem though and I wish they'd address it.
Hello all,
I just got the xperia Arc from o2 here in the UK. Actually got it last week - love it to death - but i did notice that the earpiece speaker...you know, where you put your ear when you have a call, it sorta rattled. Not all the time, but during conversations it would rattle randomly during the persons speech. I guess certain frequencies made it rattle is the correct term for it.
I also noticed this on the o2 top up line (its an automated service thing if you not sure what that is) and that had the same so it cant be down to the people talking into their microphone to close or something.
It wasn't unbearable, but it was there.
Tested same calls with my old HD2, and no rattle.
So I sent it back as faulty and am awaiting my new arc handset.
My question, is....this isn't an arc issue is it? I mean...its not normal right? all you other Arc users out here....dont have that prob. Right?
Please tell me I did the right thing and that i havent parted with my beloved Arc for no reason
I seriously do miss it...how can you become so attached to a damn phone huh?
Thanks for your time and any advice in advance,
Chris.
Not happened to me in a months use had a few echos but think that was just a bad line
Sent via noahs ark
I've not had a problem with that.
Trying to use my wileyfox storm for as a phone is now impossible.
At first, if it was plugged into a charger, the person on the other end couldn't hear me. Now I cannot be heard at all. The phone has been sent back twice already for other problems since I bought it mid April!
People have said I might sound a bit quiet on my Storm, but I'm afraid I don' really know how this could be fixed. Just letting you know there is actually someone on this forum lol. Very quiet place.
