Headphone jack noise when nothing playing - G2 and Desire Z General

Hi guys just curious if any of you get any squeel when using you g2 with headphones or aux when nothing is playing. Mine makes the noise but as soon as music starts it's gone. Not sure if it's my cable or car.. i don't think my Legend did this.

Never had it happen to me...

it might be engine noise. i used to have that issue a lot with other devices (my TP2 and sirius sat radio). do you have the charger plugged in when you use it

I get a bunch of annoying noise when playing music through my car speakers, but only if the phone is plugged into the charger at the same time. Not sure why. As soon as I unplug the charger the noise goes away.

thats the dredded engine noise what happens is that it picks up the noise from the battery. the only way to get rid of it is to get a filter to the aux cord. my bro hooks up systems in ppls car and it always happens when you connect it to the car battery.

+1 I got similar filter like this in my car.http://cgi.ebay.com/3-5mm-FILTER-CO...er_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item5d273d8ff9

Just a question, are any of you guys attaching a car charger to the phone while playing the music in the car?
Aside from zielin.

i get some feedback noise when no music is playing but when playing, there is no issue. when i stop playback, it takes a couple seconds then the noise starts. ive always had a charger plugged in too. never tried without the charger.

I get this same thing. I've never had this problem before with my G1, MyTouch Slide, Vibrant or Nexus One. It's gotta be something with the G2.

I do. I had bought a gold-plated male x male 3.5mm jack cord from Radio Shack. When nothing is playing, I get that noise.

I am bad at updating threads..
The noise was indeed caused by my alternator and only happens when the phone is plugged into the charger. The reason I never noticed it with my HTC Legend was because I used a USB cable to my car's AUX for charging. However that cable got wet and corroded so I have been using a cigarette lighter charger (igo) since then.
I installed a Parrot MKi9100 into my car and I also get the very same noise through it while navigating menus, etc. Speaking of the MKi9100, never buy one if you intend to use it for music. Parrot has messed up all their firmware and the thing is a huge waste of money if you want to bluetooth steam audio or use an ipod/iphone. It freezes all the time and no matter the source device or input, pausing and then playing again disconnects the device. It's great :S Oh and their own forums are riddled with people complaining (literally swearing and insulting the company) but Parrot seem to have NO IDEA as they don't read their own forum. They also don't reply to tech support emails sent through their own website.

yea bro i told you ya earlier it was engine noise

On my phone you can hear clicking/popping when the sound sources switch around, but I don't think that's a defect in the phone.
This thread makes me chuckle though, I have a cig lighter charger for my ipod and that never caused any weird interference issues, maybe monster shoved a filter in it? (ya.. monster.. hurray for finding it on 90% clearance at target? XD)

Grounding Issue

If you put two devices on to charge (XDA or XDAII) and whilst holding one, touch the other with the back of your hand, you get an electric shock!
Also I've just started playing around with an FM transmitter in my car and if the XDAII is charging I get stupid amounts of noise which makes the music almost unbearable to listen to... if I unplug the XDAII charger the noise instantly goes and the music is crystal clear... anyone else experienced anything like this or have any suggestions of a fix?!?
I have a Brodit car cradle for my XDA2 which has a built in charger connected to the cigarette lighter in my car. I don't have any background noise or static / interference when it's charging. Only the occasional search n scan noise as I change cells to different cell sites.
Might be an issue with your particular unit, though I didn't have my 1 together with the 2 long enough to test the charging thing you experience. Have you tried interchanging your 1 and 2 for someone else's unit (if you know someone who has)?
Cheers
Anthony
Yeah... I work for a company who develops software for XDAs for the courier market so we have loads of them lying around... the charging shock thing happens with all every XDA I and II i've tried... no idea about IIs since we aren't using those yet...
The noise in the car could be from the charging unit I guess, which is one of the reasons i decided to stick a post on here to see if anyone else had experienced it! :roll:

This happened to me with my baby walkie tolkie (that device that you can use when the baby is sleeping to hear sounds from another room).
I got a grrrrrrr, sometimes yes and sometimes not.
Only after a while I understood that the fault was of the standard XDAII transformer, when my qtek was charging. So I stopped to charge my qtek when my newborn is sleeping
I suppose there is a problem of electromagnetic compatibility with the standard charger. I will have a look at which EN regulations it should comply with, just for my curiosity...
just curious u might wanna try summat like http://www.sexualshockfantasies.com
Yep. Also got a tingling sensation when I picked up a call with the charger connected and on! Had just come out of the bathroom bare-footed on porcelain floor.

Headphone static!

Ok guys my headphones (Meelec M9P) make static when I plug them into my phone. It's starting to get really annoying. When I plug it in I hear static that gets worse when I touch the screen, but it reduces drastically when music or sound gets puts through it. My Jetblue $2 airline headphones (no mic) don't do this...
This happened on all roms, but I'm running the zomg not my dog build of Froyo.
The reason one pair of headphones does it while the other is because the one that does hear static has a lower impedence than the one that does hear static.
But the explanation behind it getting worse when you touch the screen is similar to the what sometimes happens on old PCs with cheap integrated sound. Sometimes you can hear static, and hear more when moving your mouse or when your CPU load is high. It's caused by something like signal interference within the hardware, and there's nothing that can be done... which is probably what's happening to you.
I'm using Head-Direct RE2 earphones, but the impedence is high enough that I don't hear static.
Sorry, but I think there is nothing you can do to remedy the static =/
Just did a quick search: indeed, your impedence = 16 Ohms (source), mine = 32 Ohms
This happens to me too, its really annoying and makes the phone feel like a piece of $hit!!!!
Well actually you could use a mini headphone amp like this one I have and like
Fiio E5
and it would probably solve your problem since it will be between your headphones and the phone
But don't you think it's stupid that we would need something like that?
I only have that problem when I'm plugged into the car charger. DC vs AC I guess.

actually AC is noisier. it has a sine wave, DC does not. your wall charger still spits out the same DC as the car charger, it just rectifies the ac to dc before stepping the voltage down. Car charger is all dc so its just stepping the voltage down from 12v to 5v. car charger probably has a weaker ground. Most car chargers I've seen are poorly built...
i thought that was normal
i got some sony MDR-V150's and i get that **** too yes i know they're old! so dont say anythin bout that
its not very loud but since i got good hearing plus the fact its right on my ears i can hear it when nothin is playin or when i touch the screen
Question for you guys: why do you put headphones on when music is not playing

I'm using M9P's, and they use a mic so I can take calls with them also, and I love using voice command with them .
Ahhhh the impedence problems seems right, but I wonder what the impedence on crappy airplane (Jetblue) headphones are then? I think it might have something to do with the mic, but there were ways that would slow it down. I could "turn" on the headphones without plugging it in through an app called toggle headset. It removed a lot of static, but sometimes it didn't work...
All of meelecs phones' are 16impednece, which makes me believe that when I get my m11+'s they'll have the same prob
No headphone pop or capacitive screen static
The static with touch screen issue has been addressed. It was a problem with any OC Kernel, but it has been fixed with the latest kernels Darch has been putting out.

[Q] Galaxy Note 3 Headphones Issue

I used some really old iPhone headphones on my Note 3 the first day I had it, last week. I haven't had an iPhone since 2010, so I am talking super old and beaten to death. They worked fine.
I only mention this because I've read that some older headsets are not compatible with the S4 and Note 3.
Then I paired them with a pair of ARCTIC P253BT Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. The pairing worked, in theory. The phone and headphones seemed to think they were connected.
But all I got for audio was beeps from the headphones when it connected and the phone would play at the normal, holding-to-ear volume -- even when I clicked the button for headphones and jacked up the volume in Bluetooth Settings. This did not shock me because they are cheap headphones.
Later, I tried to use the Aux jack in my car -- no dice. Phone just acted like it didn't have headphones in.
Tried the old iPhone headphones again, phone acted like it did not have headphones in. I figured I at least had those.
Restarted -- same issue.
I realize this is a very low-level question for this forum. I have yet to ROM the phone and will probably wait until TouchWiz finally beats me down.
Part of the problem is that I had been rolling with a Nexus 4 on CM 10.2, I've been running CM for a year over multiple devices and I've never had a Samsung device.
So I just feel like I don't know how to solve anything. I realize asking for TouchWiz advice is like Yankees ownership asking Red Sox fans for advice, but I am taking a shot.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like you have a bad headphone jack or something wrong with the port connector in the motherboard. I would submit a warranty claim and get a new one.
Btw I've used Bluetooth headphones and the aux port in my car it works perfect.

Wow, seriously? I did not expect it to be that extreme. Whatever went wrong happened some time after I initially used the first set of ear buds.
So maybe I did it? I have been treating the thing like gold, though.
You say that it does nothing when you plug in a headphone right? Like there is nothing connected?

I've been having the same issue and it seems to correct itself if power my phone off/on, but I'm not happy about the headphone jack being so unreliable on a brand new phone. I've plugged in headphones and an aux out headphone cord and experienced this problem. When the issue arises, the phone will pause for a second as if it's going to send audio to the headphones or aux out device, the unit states "headphones connected" in the notification tray, and then within a second of doing so the audio continues to come from the Note 3 speakers instead of the headphones or external speakers.

It works for one second then either gets really dim or starts playing at the normal call volume (not speaker volume). I took it to the store today and They had no idea. They thought they were very clever when they first got it and I told them all the setting they were planning to try had already been confirmed. They went through the motions. No dice.
They think it is a hardware issue.
If it is a hardware and that is what it sounds like then, you can submit a manufacturer warranty claim with Verizon Wireless.

My solution to this behavior (YMMV, but I had the exact same behavior)
The issue ended up being the case. It was generating enough of a standoff that the AUX cable wasn't making complete connection. I think the Note is configured to only recognize a headphone output if both channels are making connection (which is slightly atypical behavior).
TL;DR: If you're having a similar problem, try taking off your case.

I'd like to add my voice to the chorus. Almost identical problem. Works perfectly on all other devices but not 2007 Saab aux. Worked with former Note 2. I tried 3 different cables. Plays fine for a little while then audio directed to phone speaker when notification sounds. I have no case. Pretty sure it's not cabling. Heard it was low impedance headphones. My carrier has not heard of this. I belive it's a compatibility issue with the aux port. Trying bluetooth alternative. I dislike the Hassel but at a loss for now. Maybe Kitkat?
I am having the same issue on a phone that is less than a week old. Headphones work, then later they don't. It shows them connected, briefly sends audio to earphone, then to phone speaker. Reboot fixes it.

Had the same issue im sure this was tried but make sure your headphones or anything else is plugged in all the way the connection on these things is shotty at best anything you use must be all the way in or it wont work

I don't think this is a hardware issue as the behaviour doesn't really make sense. I suspect it has to do with the service that detects whether headphones are connected or not.
I have this issue from time to time with multiple pairs of headphones.
A restart usually fixes it, but not straight away. I usually have to wait a minute or two after the gui is loaded before the headphones will be detected again.

[Q] Issue with headphone jack

Hey all. This is my first post on this forum, so forgive me if I break any rules.
So heres a breakdown of my issue. I have a samsung galaxy note 3 that I got here in korea. Im on Olleh service telecom, I believe its called. My phone model is a SM900 NK, I managed to root it with towel root, so im currently running kitkat rooted.
Though before I rooted it, I was playing music through the headphone jack to speakers via auxillary. I went to pick up my phone and as soon as I did, I heard a loud cracking noise. Now at low volumes anything through the headphone jack is outputted with an extremely static noise. To me it sounds like a resistor somewhere was blown, especially because when I turn the volume to max, the static noise is less intense. But definitely still very unlistenable
But the weirdest thing is, when I plug in the USB cable to charge it and connect the USB tether for internet on my desktop, the static noise will only play slightly when there is no audio being played (music, etc). I can even unplug the USB cable and play music normally just fine through headphones, but the issue with this is the phone will get extremely hot and begin draining the battery like crazy. Once I stop the music again itll cool off. Restarting the phone will cause the static noise to play intensly at all times again. Plugging in the USB tether again will fix this issue again, but still cause it to overheat/drain the battery. All of this is just an issue with the headphone aux jack. I can always play music through the phones speaker normally.
Last night my phone got so hot it said that the battery charging was paused because the battery was too hot
If someone knows anything about this issue that would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe you have a short in the phone:fingers-crossed: ..
anyways i wanted to ask did you try using another aux cable to your speaker?? Could be the cable itself is short.

I really hope its not a short.. id have to replace the motherboard if it is right?
And yes I have tried different headphones, cables, and speakers. It seems to be the headphone jack

Hope its not a short.. it could be the connector itself has gone bad. No way that i can think of to accurately check that without opening the phone..
You will have to give it to service to sort this thing i am thinking. Should be free if you are in warranty
If that's hardware issue, you may need the failed part replaced but you should check if that is software issue first, when its hot try use some process monitoring apps to see which process is causing the problem and try reset your phone to isolate any software issue.

Is anyone experiencing a problem with the lg g6 head phone jack?

has anyone had a issue with the headphone jack i got the phobe 3 weeks ago and in the 1st week the head phone jack gave me a static noise and it would skip songs and pause/play them also it also would activate Google assistant , I got it replaced and the replacement has given me the same problem and yes i changed the wires i was not using the same ones as the one prior to the replacement just want to know if anyone else is having this issue cause this has occured on 2 lg g6 i have owned in less then a month

This sounds like the audio jack problem from the LG G3. Do your headphones have integrated microphones? The LG G3's problem is, that using headphones without microphone produces the same behaviour like mentioned above. The audio stops/starts playing when twisting the headphone plug because it loses connection for a moment and therefore stops the music. Using headphones with integrated microphones solves this issue because of the additional pole for it in the headphone plug.
I have the same when i connect it to my car's amplifier via an aux cable

That could be it, I usually use wireless headphones in the gym but I forgot them when I went to the gym the other day. Also I noticed it when I use my Aux cable in the car.
Yeah i have that too!, it's like you're describing my phone.

there's a head phone jack ?
I prefer blueteeth.
somehow i missed this thread before. I posted on here about my problem recently. Mine started having a problem back in May or June where it will loose the left audio channel when plugged in to the car stereo after some time playing. reconnecting the cable would help for 5-10 mins before it would do it again. hard to deal with when driving on the highway. Then it got to the point where bumping the connector would cause the google assistant to keep coming on or the popping noise in the speakers or making the songs pause or skip to the next one. I got a replacement and it's fine so far. So worrisome. And this happened on someone elses car as well and with 3 different aux cables. So that rules out a faulty car stereo or cable.

Well i went out of town today and the phone did good until i was a mile from home then the left audio channel started cutting out when playing music on Poweramp. Dammit. i unplugged the aux cable and plugged it in again but less then a minute later it started doing it again. wiggling the connector didn't make a difference. anyone have this issue? I don't know if it's related to the jack issue or a software issue. I just got this replacement phone last Wednesday. I"m an audiophile so it pains me that i can't use a "real" quality audio player on this phone without skipping or the audio channel cutting out like this. I never had so many problems with my other android phones except the motorola Razr HD i used to have.

Hi all. I had the same headphone jack problem a while ago as described by the op, and i found this post //imgur. com/ gallery/ 5cou6 (should have https in front + fix the space, as i am a new member and not allowed to post outside link), followed the simple fix, and have never had any issue ever since. Hope it helps
Update: Ups. Just noticed that someone had already posted it haha. Anyway, try that first before you bring it to service center
