Static Noises In Call

Hey guys, I have had my Touch HD for a little less than a month.
I am extremely happy with everything about it...
But a couple of days ago, I started experiencing a static type noise during calls only. It seems like there is an interference or something every time I place a call.
I have never dropped it since I got it so I know I didn't break anything.
I purchased a Squaretrade warranty when I bought the phone. Do you think that I should send it in? What do you think is the problem?

Is is it on incoming, out going or all calls? Have you tried using the headphones that the phone came with? Do you still hear the noise with those???

I am having the same problem. Is this a hardware or a software issue?

I am also getting some static interference noises on calls only , only had my phone under a week , would a firmware upgrade fix this or is this a hardware fault?

It is on both incoming and outgoing calls.
I tried the headphones that came with the phone and I don't hear static with them.
Also, when using the speaker phone, it does not make any static noises.
Any takers?

Yep mine has static too, it can help a bit to hold the device high up since the Aerial is at the bottom.

I had the same problem. Only heard the static when using the phone to my ear. Never when using a bluetooth headset or the speaker on the back. I tried several hard resets and phoned HTC. I've since sent the handset back. I'm waiting to hear if they are giving me a new handset or a refund as I had only had the phone for 5 days.
I done a load of searching and couldn't find anyone else with the same problem. HTC said it was a new problem to them but it looks as though there are a few of us.

Please keep us updated on what they have to say about your situation.

Hi,
Im still getting that static noises , Also getting it when im playing audio on windows media player , Ive also tried core player , still same , so it's not the windows software , I reckon could be a hardward fault.
i have a orange htc touch hd .
does any1 else get these noises when playing any audio ?

I'm thinking the problem is hardware related. Seems like something is loose, connectionwise.
Whenever I hear the static in call, and kind of jiggle the phone around or press the screen and back together it goes away for a little bit.
I am going to take advantage of my warranty I believe.

Well I dropped my phone today and it appears the static noises in call have disappeared.

Hehe well I'm not trying that one out I also have the statice noise in call but its only at one person and its always the same one :\
So maybe I should drop that person on the floor

Onboard Speaker noise / crackling
I've had my HD since Friday, and I'm having the same noise. I hear it as soon as I press send and intermittently during all calls. When it goes away, if I stay really still, I don't hear it till I move. Really irritating for an $800 phone. I called the guy at the phone store where I bought it and he told me to call HTC.

i have the same problem .. sometimes the noise disapear when i press on battery cover, anyone found a solution for that problem

calls received from x10 have loud hissing and echo

i recently got my gf an x10 for her birthday, whenever she makes a call the person receiving the call hears loud hissing noises like someone is blowing into the mic, and a bit of an echo of there own voice. I searched around the forums but noone else seems to be experiencing this so assumed it was a faulty phone and i went and got it replaced.
However the problem still persists on the new handset. After much messing with the phone i deduced its the contact between hand and handset thats causing the hissing.
The simplest way to reproduce the annoying noises is to just rub your finger lightly up and down the back of the X10 (sounds wierd i know), remember theres no noticable sound impact on the X10, just any phone receiving a call from one will hear the sound.
Just curious if anyone else has experienced this or knows of a way to prevent it, currently half the conversations i have with her are inaudiable because when ever shes moving around (ie walking down the street) all i hear are loud hissing noises. (this is not wind blowing into the mic, iv done many tests)
thx for reading. Mike.

I have the same problem with. my gf when I call her she told me that there is annoying. voice and echo

i don't have any noises or echos.
but now as you mention, the decoupling of the mic is far from optimal.
when touching the back of the (white) X10, you can hear noises on the other side of line. (no other phone is that sensitive.)
can anyone confirm, that this is better with the rubberized back, black edition ?

Easy solution guys, just dump your girlfriends. Problem solved.

LMAO. Girlfriends are using the phone and boyfriends are getting worried.

Anyone know of a way to turn the sensitivity of the mic down, she loves the phone, so doesn't want a different one.
also she as the black rubberized edition, so im guessing it doesn't make a difference

me 2 i have the black one help guys

i do not have the hissing sound but echoes...as if the other party is using speaker phone which she is not... and the sentence is cut off here n there..help!!! losing heart on my 20 days old X10...

i have a similar problem, but i the contact i'm talking to wont hear an echo if i'm using the included headset. i also have the white x10.

I found the same problem today, calling two different people. I found the echo and hiss is very noticeable when I put the call volume up to max, or very high. As soon as I reduce the call volume it goes.
The reason I used to have the call volume very high is I could not hear the other callers, but realised I have to (and can - without pressing any buttons!) press the phone quite close to my ear, this way the volume is good enough at half the level and the callers then do not hear teh hiss or echo.
Hope this made sense and helps?

i have the same prob . how can solve the prob???

Echo during phone call - Solution
Hi,
there are 2 solutions to the echo problem mentioned.
Firstly make sure you do not cover the mic hole on the side of the phone with your hand or finger etc.
Secondly, SE has released a SW version 016 for some (not all) of their customers which is supposed to fix that problem.
Apparantly that SW version is not available to all SW versions (customers) yet, but will either come soon or the fix will be included in the first maintenance release.
I have had my X10 on 014 and after the upgrade to 016 the problem was gone.

Galaxy phone reception is bad for me :( :(

Hello everyone i have had my galaxy for awhile now and i dont know why i never posted this but phone reception is very bad. When someone calls me or i call someone i can hardly hear them, this is with the volume turned up to max.....is there a volume hack or something to turn up volume on inner calls past the max ?....anything at all would be helpful.

There is a way to turn up your volume but you'd have to do it every time you reboot your phone, just search the forums for it. I never had a problem with my galaxy s phones gt-i9000m and I had two of them. Maybe your phone is defective and you can exchange it?

are you sure you are putting the earpiece where it's supposed to go?
if you have it higher, you wont hear it, if you have it lower you wont hear it
it has to be exactly facing your inner drums
it's the same with all other phones i've had in the past
have you tried Bluetooth? perhaps that will work better for you?
my SGS sounds loud and clear, and i got bad hearing

Same problem with mine. I find it has something to do with the signal though. When I call OCTranspo or my voicemail or something it's loud and clear, but when I speak to people it always sounds like they're whispering.

hmm it seems fine right now....i really hope it was cause i was in a dead spot or low signal reception when i was on the phone....i will monitor the phone for the next few days and post here if i fall into this problem again thanks for the help guys!...oh and Gamer ill look into that bluetooth headset maybe.

the first 2 are recorded messages, so the audio quality is expected to be the same all the time
those are very good point of reference
that means whatever it is the problem is not the phone earpiece, but the people talking on their end
otherwise you'll be hearing whisper like sound from the voice recorded systems

I used that hack. worked alright

Visual voicemail is barely audible

I love everything about my Epic, except the Visual Voicemail is almost unusable for me. The audio level is so low I can barely hear it, whether I use it normally or in speakerphone mode. This is the only application that has this problem. I have no issues on calls with either speaker. It's hard for me to imagine I'm the only one having this problem, yet I can't find any other threads that mention it. Is my phone the only one with this issue?
Thanks.

Your volume turned up?

I also have the same problem! It doesn't even connect to my bluetooth headset

Same here. Every possible volume it turned all the way up and I can barely hear my voicemails through either the speaker or the earpiece. What gives?

Popping sounds on calls and low microphone issues

On calls I get popping sounds. a few times the pops have been so loud I almost dropped.
The microphone is also really low. people can't hear me I use to be able (Gnexus) to set the phone down and talk with it on the computer table next to me but now they can't hear me.

Standard 'is this a hardware problem?' test:
1. If you are on a custom ROM, flash completely back to stock and retest.
2. If you are already on stock, backup all your data and factory reset. Even better, completely wipe the phone and re-install stock and retest.
3. If the issue still occurs, the issue is most likely with the hardware. If the issue no longer occurs, then it was a software problem.
4. If I understand this reply correctly, you have already received a replacement device and the issue still occurs. In this case, you happen to be very unlucky.
As for the Nexus 4 in general, I can only speak anecdotally. I don't have the issue on the seven Nexus 4 devices I've tested: two of my own, three from coworkers/friends who also own the device, and two test devices.

Since the issue only happens during Skype calls and not while using the standard calling function, I would blame this issue on VOIP quality: either your latency is high, Skype is having quality issues, or some combination of the two. I have issues with Skype call quality on both my phone and my PC, and the issues are largely to do with Skype throttling the call bandwidth.

what about my mic issue the sounds very low. is there a way to change the gain on the microphone? I always use my phone by calling 1 of my friends I'm placing the phone beside my desk as I speak with them they can't hear me with this new phone they were able to perfectly hear me with the galaxy Nexus.
