Bizarre clicking noise - Xoom General

My Zoom has started making a loud clicking noise intermittently. Not related to touching the screen. Just a loud click now and then. Almost like a static discharge. Not related to volume settings. Anyone else have this? Any ideas?

Did you install the unofficial flash apk?

yes. But the clicking started before that.

It starts clicking right before it grabs you!

I had that and used to restart my Xoom to get rid of it, then disappeared after sometime and don't know how

Looks like another fanboy post? A cockroach got inside during installation, you'll have to return your xoom and buy an ipad 2 ?????

The only way you'll take my Xoom is to pry it from my cold dead hands. But I'm just wondering how best to kill the cockroach!

Mine just started doing this today. I really dont want to have to exchange it for a new one at best buy, thats such a hassle!

i think it's because you are running overclocked. Minw started this after I clocked it to 1.5ghz, set it to 1.2 and no longer does this.

My Epic 4G just recently started doing this intermittently over the past week or two. I'm guessing that it is related to some app that I installed, but I haven't been able to track it down yet.

Mine was doing the same a day or two back sounded like the speakers were clicking for no reason at all, i'm running stock with no hacks or anything of the kind.

Happens to me everytime I run FPSE, doesn't go away until I restart Xoom.

I had this same issue. 2 things I have tracked it down to. Rockplayer pausing a movie. And trillian. I had to uninstall trillian as itwas driving me crazy.

Mine is not rooted and it does it at times. I have to restart the device. I wonder how many other people have this problem.

I had this happen only one time. I was using Remote Desktop from Xtralogic one night and it started making a weird clicking or electrical discharge noise. It sounded like it was coming from the speaker.
I finished my work that night on our server and turned off the Xoom. Never had it happen since.
My Xoom is rooted and overclocked to 1.4Ghz. Most of its use is Remote Desktop, ConnectBot, QuickSSHd and Kindle.

Yeh mine was doing it today, couldn't figure out what was going on. Prob just a software glitch or something causing the speakers to pop.

often happens to me after running some media players like upnpplayer

Did you force close or clear data from some media app running in the background? One or the background items tracks built in ringtones and wiping data will make it forget the factory ringtones. Maybe it's clicking because it's no longer playing a proper audio file?
You'll have to make it rebuild itself somehow if that's the case. Mine fixed itself after a reboot or two.

Twitching screen

I've noticed an annoying bug on my touch screen on my sgs2, and wondered if anyone else has this problem.
Basically, the problem seems to be able to be reproduced by, for example, scrolling the settings menu with your finger, then stopping, but leaving your finger pressed on the screen, as if you were holding it still with your finger. Mine seems to be twitching and moving around slightly, it doesn't stay still.
Not a big deal you may think... But if your an angry birds player or a player of any game or app that requires precision movements then this is an annoying bug.
I'm on ke1. Can anyone else try this for me? Cheers.
Mine had stopped doing it now... But, I have noticed it before, so it seems I have an intermittent problem / fault / bug. Anyway, can everyone post here if they notice this... It happens in every app I've used that involves scrolling.
Nope, mine doesn't do this. And I'm glad about it! Sucks man, trey flashing a different rom.

Are you using a non samsung charger?
This used to be a charger problem, should work flawlessly with the charger thats provided with the phone

Could be a glitch in the motion setting, if you go to settings>motion and test the one where you put you finger on the screen and tilt the phone and the background moves.

Depends on quality of electric supply out of socket as well as which charger in my experience.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Mine was on charge when it happened, and it still happened some time after, but it stopped soon after.
3rd party charger (I leave my sammy one at home, I'm just using a spare for work)....
Could be that then?

Pandora crackle??

I never heard this on froyo but every gb rom I've tried even cm7 when I play pandora I get a electric crackle through my speakers. I've tried high quality mode which its not as bad as normal but its still there. This also happens with or without voodoo. I have also uninstalled and re installed from the market. Is this happening to anyone else or know a fix or is it the kernel?

If you're talking about external speakers, make sure the speakers aren't too close to the phone or any other wireless devices.
I'm having the same issue with my epic, my wife is also having the issue on her stock nexus s. It happens with or without external speakers plugged in.

This happens in my truck with my phone plugged into cd player with 3.5mm jack and my phone sits on passenger side seat. It has always sat in the same spot while I listen to pandora since froyo. The funny thing is I don't hear the crackle if I use music player its only pandora. So then maybe its just pandora needs to update their app.

I've noticed this in the car, both over bluetooth and through the auxiliary input. It seems to do it less at home when I'm on WiFi, though.

Had this problem as well I put it in high quality then restarted the app and that seems to work as I can't hear the crackle anymore but most likely pandoras fault there was a recent update that may have caused this

I just opened up my world to Pandora the other day, noticed this right away. I've never been a big music guy, but either way, I'm noticing the same exact thing. Both in my car through the 3.5mm jack and at home over Wifi.
I've not used Pandora in a long time, so I can't comment on its abilities with the Epic but- I will suggest trying Slacker Radio. I switched to it months ago and haven't looked back. I personally like it a lot better and it seems to work great so far.

Anyone having this issue with pandora if you are completely stock could you download log collector from the market then upload the log here and I can send that to pandora?
You obviously have to be running the log before its crackling.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I have noticed the same thing, running legendary / samurai. In particular occasional high pitched squeaks and beeps. Thanks for letting me know it's not my imagination.
So glad I came across this thread!
Just upgraded from CM9 RC2 (where Pandora worked flawlessly) to CM9 stable and I started hearing the crackling and it only seems to be linked to Pandora.

Anyone else no getting ANY sound?

Just what the title says. I'm getting no sound at all. I've messed with every volume control and am stumped.

Working now. Weird! I may have a lemon with the sound.
Of course the sound has to stop working when I'm showing a fanboy how awesome it is and how much better it is then the iPad.

I'm having the same issue.
I'm using it with no issues for a while then no sound... rebooting it doesn't help.
I can plug in a head set but no speaker at all.
Sometimes emails notifications come through but that's about it.
Been on the phone waiting for google support now. Been waiting for about 30 minutes now...
This SUCKS!

Had the same problem within five hours of having it. Sound went out playing Final fantasy III. Did a factory reset, nothing. Was on hold with google play for 45 min before I gave up. Sound started working again for a while, cut out again when playing FFIII again. Would say it is the game but the factory reset didn't fix it. Sound came back on during the night while I slept, has stayed on since. Waiting to see how it goes and to find out if it is a software issue before I try to RMA it. Did sent google an email though.
I did a hard reset (held the power button down for 10 seconds) and its been fine since.

Problem is back.
It makes a sound like a record scratching then no sound. If you tap the back of the tab it tries to make sounds but fails. Must be a hardware issue.

Random "click" noise

Every now and then, when opening an app or using the system buttons at the bottom, a very short "click" noise comes from the speaker. I have my N4 on silent/vibrate all the time and it is not an operating system noise that's meant to be there because its random. The best way to describe it is that it seems like the phone is "accidentally" starting to play a sound then stopping because its realised its in silent mode.
Anyone else getting this? Views on this problem?
(It happened again as I was typing this, so it happens through the the keyboard key presses as well)

Media Volume
Maybe you have to turn down the media volume.
I don't have a nexus 4, but I do get that random click noise on my incredible s as well, and from many different roms. I am not sure what it is, though.
Key press noise in settings turn it off may stop it the Gnex had this issue and still does

I get that click noise occasionally on my HTC HD2.
Running PACMAN 4.1.2 Jellybean at the moment.
I had this issue as well. I just turned off touch sounds and all is well.
I should note that I have keyboard sounds enabled and I do not experience the random clicking noise.
It seems to be isolated to the enabling of touch sounds, whether on vibrate or any audible volume.

I have the autofocus rattle issue as well. But I rarely if ever would shake my phone like that.
At this point I am just grateful that I got my phone, let alone got my phone earlier than projected. There are a lot of people that would love to hear the rattling of the autofocus on their N4.

Power Management
Ok... I think this is correct,
The audio chip like most other IC's are entering power saving mode milliseconds after you hear any audio so the small click is the powering up and down of the audio hardware... Many phones do this and many people don't notice it.
It's quite normal but if you have very good hearing it might bother some more then others.

It seems like a touch sound issue.
Make sure you've got touch sounds turned off by going:

Weird Buzz noise when click on app or navigating

I have this weird buzz noise when I open an app or navigate through my phone I click anything. I rooted my phone when I first got it and it was happening on the rom. So I switched to aokp and still had the same problem. Then, I flashed to stock as I bought it and still has the same problem. Could this be a hardware issue? I was thinking to call google play to see what they would do?

Anyone have any similar issues?
I've had a similar problem where tapping the screen creates an audible "click" sound. At first I thought it was the speaker popping, but then I noticed it happening while the volume was down.
It doesn't happen on every touch, but it happens enough to be noticeable.

Exactly the same problem as me. My dad n4 does do it. But if I put the ear piece to my ear, I hear a faint buzzing noise also. Did you call Google about it?
