Since upgrading to the DL30 leak with DL09 baseband I have noticed a consistent high pitch noise that is noticeable when a call is active and when I pull the phone away from my face at which the proximity sensor turns on the screen. The screen being active while making a call seems to be the condition for the noise.
I honestly can't say whether I noticed this or not before flashing DL30 as I never noticed it before DL09 OTA and I didn't have that very long before the leaked 2.2.
Anyone else getting similar feedback noise on DL30 or any previous builds? I'm wondering if this is build related or specific to my hardware.
I've noticed the same thing.. it is related to the screen being on during calls. I've noticed that the proximity sensor is not working as well in DL30 as it was in previous versions... this never happened before I went to DL30. I don't think it's a hardware issue specific to your phone.
Gotta say noticed same thing, any ideas would be amazin
I also have the same problem
Also covered in this thread, though still no solution

Its simply one of the few bugs in the DL30 build. Nothing to be done and it really shouldn't be an issue as the screen is off when you put it next to your head. If you are using a headset, just click the side button to shut the screen off.
Sorry for the repost.
At any rate. Updated to EB01 today and still noticing this slightly annoying issue.

So here's my issue.
During a call if i recieve a SMS/MMS/Email, my earpiece volume drops dramatically and i can use the volume rocker and put it too full and it still doesn't get back to a decent level.
So i was wondering if anyone else has noticed this and is having this small problem, other than that i am completely happy with the phone so far , haven't touched my iPhone since i recieved the Nexus One Jan 7th
P.S. i have SMS Popup app installed and same problem, so i have tried removing the app and still no cure
I haven't tried this on SpeakerPhone or BT Headset
I can 2nd this bug.
Along side, if you were to use any touch tone to send DTMF tones while on the phone (say you're entering your credit card or something), it also goes down real low. This is definitely a bug.

ya ....argh!!...hopefully a firmware update fix
I have experienced the bug as well...but what is even more strange is that if I get another text message or email and it causes the phone to vibrate the in-call volume shoots up even louder than it was before. I think it may have something to do with dual microphone and background noise cancellation this phone has.
No problem for me?
Just thought I'd offer some more input, but I don't think my phone is experiencing this problem..? I am currently on the phone with T-Mo, and had to enter numbers via the number pad while in the call, and the volume didn't adjust (neither up or down) at all.
I'm glad I found this thread. I should have read through all of the posts in XDA before starting a brand new thread about this. Sorry guys! I even have this issue listed on google's help forum with some ppl indicating the same. The call volume decrease for me when a call comes in. I have to put the phone on speaker, then take it off speaker in order to get the volume back to where it was. I use to have the volume decrease during an active call when a email or text comes in, but a small work around was to set the ringtone and notifications to silent in settings and in text and emails. Does anyone know if this is a software or hardware issue? or if there will be an OTA update to fix? This phone is amazing otherwise...I know there isn't a TON of ppl reporting this, so I hope google doesnt forget about us. I received a replacement that did the same thing along with new bugs the original didn't have, so I sent it back.
I have it also. Just thought it was me!
@johnboywilson, do you think google will come out with an OTA update for this? This is technically my first android phone, so im not sure how often they come out with updates, or if they get to all the issues no matte how few ppl might be having them. I had WinMo before, and they were pretty good at getting to bugs, sometimes even if just a handful of ppl have them. I had a samsung behold II for 2 weeks. I've only been using android for a little over a month now.
next time this happens will someone try swapping to speaker phone then back to handset and see if it goes back to where it was. I've had a problem a couple times where I couldn't hear the caller, switched to speaker phone, heard them fine, switch back to handset and the volume was back to normal. I honestly dont remember if I had received a notification at the time or not but I'd be curious to know if it is the same thing.
@zjchaser, if you had seen my two previous posts, you would have seen that I use the speaker phone on then off method to correct the volume decreasing when a call, text or email comes in while on a call. This is just a work around and not a fix. I need to know if we will get an OTA update to correct???
@Mrplennium I`m sure they will. if you go onto google support pages you will see what questions people are asking and what faults other people are experiencing.
@zjchaser I have had that problem too. If im on a call and i switch between speaker phone and handset the sound goes off. If i then make a new call the sound is still off and i have to switch between speaker and handset to get it to come back on!
Still love the phone though..
@johnboywilson, I hope you are right. I am one of those ppl that started a thread on the google forum about this issue, and others have been reporting it. I was just fearful that this is one of those issues that's in the minority, so google might skip over it. I hope that's not the case. Other than that, this is by far the BEST phone i've ever owned. I have no other issues with it.
I use the wired headset mostly, but I can confirm this as well. It isn't just another call or SMS for me that causes it...anything that adds a notification (SMS, plugging in to USB, email...anything!). The volume either goes crazy up, or crazy down. It seems to alternate.
It went down the other day after an email during a call, so I had to put the rocker all the way up just so it would sound normal. Shortly thereafter, I got a text and lost my hearing for about 10 mins...the phone can get very loud.
Seriously, this needs to be fixed.
Yup, it happens through the wired headset as well. I think it's def a software issue. Hope you have google people patrolling this site and seeing these issues as well. The first OTA update is coming this week, but for the 3G issue. No one knows what other possible fixes might be included.
Even received a replacement that did the same thing. Not sure why some ppl have working devices, and others have these software glitches. I doubt i'll ever be an early adopter again.
WOW! ok, after 3 preliminary tests, I can conclude that the OTA update has resolved this issue!!!!! YEEPEEE!!!!!!!! Now the phone is PERFECT! I will keep monitoring the situation throughout the day to see if it stays that way, which I can't imagine why it wouldn't!!!THANK YOU GOOGLE!!!!
it didnt fix the problem when i did the update,still have low incall volume
If you have low incall volume - rise it, or flash a kernel with volume boost hack. This bug has been resolved months ago. You're talking about something else.
Evo/sense answers calls when taken out of pocket even when screen locked since to answer is to scroll down which is natural movement when taking it out of pocket.
Any app that works great that does not interfear with calls. Side swipe would be best i think. I'm rethinking sense-less ROM now but i don't know which onces are senseless. Need stable and low battery consuming rom or an app. Any idea ?
I've been having this problem as well ever since upgrading to Froyo, I don't know if they increased the screen sensitivity or what but never had the problem before. I always either decline the call sending it straight to voicemail or if i'm lucky it answers the call instead, it's quite annoying.
maybe this thread will be of use

i have had this prob since i got the phone. mostly towards the afternoon when it's the hottest out. i switched to screen facing out, away from leg but fear screen getting broken, also trying to be conscious of how i pull it out of my pocket so not to answer an unwanted call by mistake.
I flashed my phone to SC 2.4 voodoo and everything works fine except that whenever I am on the phone I hear weird sound. It doesnt happen when screen is not on. I think it has to do with some kind of sensor btw you phone and your ear. When screen is on because the phone is not close enough to your ear, it makes sound but as soon as you put your phone close to your ear so that no longer screen is on then I dont hear anymore.....it could not be a big deal...but it kinda bothers me....so plz any suggestions will b greatly appreciated!!
What sort of sound is it? Is it a very high pitched constant tone? Or something else?
Heya,
That sound comes from the screen turning on. Its some sort of frequency noise. Not sure if there is a fix for it.

Not the first to report it, it's happened on other roms as well.
Yep. Not a problem for me on DL09
Got it on both froyo leaks as does my friends fascinate
Doesnt bother me too much though
the texts greater than 160 chars coming through as gibberish or not coming through to non-verizon customers is whats getting annoying to me.
I turned on the simple split 160 option in handcent but something about splitting texts into multiple texts just feels wrong to me :S
I do not believe that there is a fix for it at the moment. But I have noticed that with 2.2 as well. From what I remember I think it has something to do with the soft keys and screen lighting up when on the phone is moved from your ear.
I've noticed this also. But only since EB01 (I think...lol). It does get somewhat annoying but not really that bad. Would love a fix. Superclean 2.4nv
Good. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one hearing this.
I'm just hoping that the noise isn't the sound of something being damaged in my phone. ...like some internal component that is receiving too much power.
To describe the noise, it's pretty much the same kind of noise that a light-up watch makes whenever you turn on the light. I don't know if any of you have ever stuck your ear up to a Timex Indiglo, or something similar, but there is a little "wheeeeeee" kind of noise that is emitted by the light.
*EDIT*
Ok. More info on the odd noise coming out of the phone. It only happens when the phone is in a call. So it is something related to the proximity sensor. Is it possible that EB01 is sending too much voltage through the proximity sensor?
If you are not in a call, even if both the screen and the soft keys are enabled, there is no odd noise. When you are in a call and the screen is on, a weird noise is made. As soon as the screen goes off, the noise stops.
If this is the same for everyone, I'm amazed it hasn't been noticed already..
When I hold my phone speaker up to my ear I hear what sounds like a cross between interference and buzzing/noise. The occurs whether I am making on phone call or else the phone if sitting in standby. I'm currently holding hope that this can be magically fixed by a firmware update, as of course, replacement is out of the question at the moment!
Has anyone else noticed this issue? Any ideas if it is a hardware defect or down to poor design?
..Sorry - Just found a duplicate post using different terminology. Please delete this thread.
Hi, just got my Note 3 and it is a wonderful device. However, a little issue on the vibration is bugging me at the moment. When I set the vibration intensity at the highest level, there is a slight rattling / out of the ordinary sound for the first 0.5 to 1 second of the vibration. Subsequent vibrations sound normal. No issues at the other lower vibration intensity level. Just wanna find out whether others have the same problem or my phone is defective.
Yep, the same here. I don't consider this as an issue though.

Thanks. I'm ok wif it too, just worried something inside is loose.
is it an issue.. is not normal for a new device. got mine replaced and no more sound when is set to highest
I am having the issue described as well and am curious about how widespread it is. So far in this thread two users report experiencing it, while one says that a replacement device does not exhibit the same behaviour. Adding myself into the mix that makes it 3-to-1 noticing the slight brief buzz at the beginning of the vibration, when set to the highest intensity. It's an even bigger issue when using a multiple quick-repeating vibration, as the little rattle/buzz sound will happen at the beginning of each individual pulse. A small issue maybe, but an irritating one.
Can anyone else confirm either definitely having, or not having this issue?
To test it, it's easiest to go to Vibration Intensity under settings, and flip the slider back and forth between the highest, and second highest levels, to see if you notice a difference. In my case, it sometimes won't happen depending on how/tightly I'm gripping the phone. Most often it will though.
Has anyone with this minor issue managed to find a fix for it?
I have just bought 2 note 3, the first one was a French version which had the rattle, I returned it and got a new one, this time the one they had in the store was the Portuguese version, and guess what, same thing.
both were sealed and brand new, I really want to keep the phone but this is very annoying... (the rattling is an issue for me)

So far only one person in this thread has reported not having the issue, and that with a replacement for one that presumably did. I'd love to know how widespread the issue is as it seems quite common from the posts here, but there's really no way to know with so few responders.
The rattle doesn't seem to be from something actually loose inside, since on the long vibration (incoming phone call) the buzz sound only lasts for the first tenth of a second, of the two-second or so total duration. A loose piece would keep rattling the whole time, so it seems more related to the vibration motor itself starting up. Also, clamping my hand around the both phone edges semi-tightly seems to prevent the buzz, so it could be interaction between the motor and the frame.
My only workaround so far has been to set vibration intensity to the second highest level, which is not really much weaker than the highest and does not produce the buzz/rattle sound.
I just got my phone today and I'm noticing it. I was almost wondering if that was how it was supposed to sound. E either way it annoys me.

hmm, the issue was more widespread that i initially thought. the rattle is kind of annoying. still considering whether to send it to the service centre coz not sure whether they can solve it.
