[Q] Static Noise Bug when playing Music - Galaxy 3 General

I've been experiencing some problems with the recent ROM's ive installed on my SG3. The thing is when i play music and switch ON\OFF the screen, i hear a weird static cracking noise. This bug has been reported to occur due to a bug in the kernel of the ROM's.
Kyrillo and dharam have admitted that the problem exists in their kernels and that they are trying hard to fix it.
My question is how many of the users who installed custom ROM's on their phones encountered this problem? Did anybody find a fix?
This is probably my 5th thread concerning the same problem in the kernels and yet i don't have a clear answer!

Seems like no one encountered this problem huh? lucky me

I've encountered it but I don't really care as after you turn your screen off it goes and you can barely hear it.

Yes but why have the irritating noise in the first place? It kinda ruins the music experience, just hope someone's working on fixing this.

So, I have an idea.
If I use profiles in SetCPU, with a dramatic change of frequency space, different to the normal running frequencies, than it seems to me that the switch cracked noise is heavier than without using profiles.
Normal: 148-930MHz, ScreenOff: 148-370 --> makes hard noise
Normal: 148-930MHz, NO Profile --> barely noise, but there
Kyrillos 6.x was my first high OC ROM, so I definitly used SetCPU and wanted to cut down the power consumption by using "ONDEMAND".
That failed completly! Cause with ondemand I got quiet the same noise as mentioned from you guys, but AT ALL TIMES!
The difference between conservative and ondemand is, that frequency is realy more rapidly changed! So for every single cpu usage, it goes high up but realy fast back to 148 again. --> In mind: Many freq changes!
Back to my idea. For me it is the frequency changing, maybe the voltage jump between the frequencies. I guess there is the problem digged.
A chance to get rid of this may be to change frequencys in an other way. Maybe not with steps, but with a real smooth upgoing MHz per MHz...if that is impossible, I think so because even computer cpus are chaning step to step, the voltage increasing/deincreasing should be made smooth. No idea how, but this is my thought^^
Realy hope you guys find something
EDIT: with ondemand but fixed by sliders to a single frequency realy stops that noise!!! So it realy must be the frequency/voltage changing.

That seems like a logical conclusion, that by changing the degree to which the frequencies change the noise could be controlled.

I notice it too, i think this is exactly what happens whihc results in the noise. Dev's are you listening?
I really hope that somebody comes up with a solution.

Need a quick fix for this, it's driving me nuts. Degrading to any stock firmware (eclair or froyo) isn't working at all!

I have the exact same problem and its really bugging me coz im really ocd over sound quality. I've also tried flashing back to stock froyo but the stupid noises are still there...
HELP ME SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Are there any ROMs/Kernels that don't have this 'static/crackling in music' problem?

I have crackling problem in music too. I have kyrillos 7.1 OC. Someone knows what's wrong?

Flashing to CyanogenMod has seemed to do the trick for music but now I have no video playback

Overclocking Opal 100

OVERCLOCKING LEADS TO MEMORY LEAKS AND CAN BE SEVERE IN SOME CASES.PLEASE OVERCLOCK AT YOUR OWN RISKS
I have tried Overclocking my Opal 100 at various clockspeeds on a WM6.5 ROM,Build 21889..but i seem to NOT have got the correct clockspeed coz i am experiencing frequent problems with my ROM.Current clockspeed is set to 264MHz,but the program memory shoots up when the device escalates in tym after a soft reset....Any 1 having overclocked his device and is HAPPY with the feedback Opal is giving,please mention the clockspeed with the current ROM version...thanks.
Device has been overclocked with OMAP CLOCK PLUS...here's the link if any1 needs to test it...{If you want to overclock your Viva, download the cab file from here:

yes.....im ultimately happy..using omap clock....and omap clock keep....opal is always on 276mhz....havent ever heard of or experienced a memory leak..
I'm stable @ 252 MHz with Jagan's Evo2 ROM for 2 months now!
However, I'll try to run it @ 264 MHz to get rid of the camera noise problem. I will reply to this thread with the results. I won't test it at 276 MHz, at least not in the summer anyway!

Oh and i found a problem with the latest OMAPclock in that linik,
So i have uploaded a decent one.
I just had to report this, I found a really weird solution to the Windows Media Player, Playlist bug (EVO 2 and 2.5) (Have reported this in that thread as well but thought posting it here will do some good too.). lol. Overclocking!
For some odd reason my device volume has also shot up, (without any distortion wat so ever), side effects of overclocking?

I finally found some courage to test my device @ 276 MHz. The test was successful so far, no problems, and no excess heat. And the camera problem is gone.
At this frequency I can actually feel the performance difference, as the device becomes more responsive and fluid.
Just tried the 276MHZ. VIVA become super fasts... Everything is very sippy. Nice, thanks for the help. I am with default OS

Oh No, Another which sense rom thread! (not so boring this time)

My main problem with the wildfire is ringing delay. I am not sure if any of you realized but there is a 5 second ring delay when you receive calls and this makes me miss shed loads of phone calls.
So I tried CM7. No luck. Then JokerDroid. No luck again. Then Wildpuzzle. Same ****e different day...
Finally I've found an aosp rom which start ringing immediately when I receive a call. (cm7 based ruymanca hellfire)
am I asking for too much? For god's sake it's a flippin phone, it should ring aye?!
Anyhow rant over,
The problem is; I like... like is an underestimate to be honest; I LOVE sense dialer and I want to marry one. But I can't go through all those rom installing hassle again and again. If any of you out there know of a stable sense rom that knows when to ring either speak up... This sentence isn't going anywhere sensible. But you got the idea right?
Did you try to change CPU governor? Try to use ondemand. I think that smartass is not to smart as it think, setting max freq to 400-something when screen is off, making delays in phone ring. Just my guess, since I can't see this problem in my jokerdroid, with ondemand governor.

Seconded. The incoming call lag is noticeably reduced when using Ondemand, but, on the flipside, I am getting poorer battery life than what it was before.
This is on CM7 obviously, but, should apply to Sense as well.
Yes that is a problem not only with CM7 but also any Sense based rom, or Stock rom...
For example on Stock rom it rings one and half time before I get notification that my phone is ringing...
My first suspicion was that this lag is because of lot of facebook links with pictures for each contact in people app, but when I removed all contacts problem still presists so... that is not an issue...
They (htc) really need somehow to fix that issue, because I heard that it is the same problem with hardware much stronger machines(i.e. Desire)...
I agree with you about the lag on CM7 and YES Ruymanca's Hellfire does not have this lag. But just like you, I love sense dialer and there is no good alternative to that.
I am on jokersdroid and have not noticed any lags when it comes to ringing. Maybe I just completely missed the calls
But I am not using any setcpu etc. programs, and using jokerdroid as it comes. No changes to the cpu speed whatsoever. I dont even know what are the min. and max. frequencies.
Have you tried any other sense rom without OC kernel? Maybe wildpuzzle? If you dont have lag there, than it is definitely the set frequencies in your kernel.
As I stated before... from what I heard (that not necessarily mean that it is true... ) some other phones like Desire have the same issue....
I, for one, do not own Desire, so I haven't tested it... but hey, if it is true than it is an interesting problem
i to have the same problem!
I notice this after i read your post.But now ,i found o solution to fix it.I change the ringtone(in my case i set cassiopeia) as default ring tone and now is way better.Maybe you can try aswell.

This is maybe caused by any CPU hungry background app, like live wallpapers or any other widget. The difference in ondemand and smartass, AFAIK, is that the second one sets maximun at an specific freq, but both uses minimun as they can. So, if you dont have any cpu hungry app, that keeps waking cpu, it should be no notable diference between this two governors in battery life.

I didn't change anything between the 2 governor setups, everything remains the same. But then again, after going through a few discharge cycles, the difference isnt so great anymore, which is a bit weird. :/
Just called myself to see if it's true, and didn't notice any lag As soon as the screen started to show an incoming call the phone started ringing (this is on JokerDROID 4.2 as it came). But when i recieved a text message (on stock froyo) first it vibrated and then after a second or so it played the notification ringtone.
My old nokia has the same issue. When I'm earing radio and a there is a call the radio switch off 3 or 4 sec before the first ring. I think that is normal for gsm devices. Isn't it?

I installed rempuzzle rom. Which is supposed to be the fastest as it supports JIT and optimized for speed. (says the developer)
Anyway, I have the same problem again. 3-4 seconds ring lag.
But the internet is soooo fast with this rom...

bizzare CPU clock speed problem

My stock nexus 4 used to shoot up to 1.512 GHz just by playing with my home screen. But I dropped it on the table when I rushed to pick up a call. The fall was relatively minor so I didn't care much. However it started to lag a little on my live wallpaper and apps, even typing now feels a little like I'm using a budget android phone (yes, you know how that feels like, the pain, the pain!!) It still works, its just a little slow and the clock speed is really bothering me.
Turns out my clock speed harbors around 1.134 GHz when I use it now And RAM is around 900 MBs when it used to be around 400 . Tried a factory reset, no changes. Tried to return, failed. Can you guys think of anything? Seriously, I will try any darn thing to fix it..

I'm pretty sure that this is not a malfunction but normal behaviour of MPDecision. When you use your phone normally, it won't immediately ramp up to 1,5 GHz but first to 1 GHz. What happens if you stress it a lot (try the app Stability Test)?
it only goes to 1512mhz when it needs to, otherwise itll stay at lower cpu speeds.

It went on for 5 minutes before the battery ran dry but it was the same... No change. And proof that there is something wrong. Look at the number of CPU runs, only 2! Before the drop, it would had been 20 over at least.

Before thanks to Butter UI I assume it would go to 1512 to make things smooth. Now it doesn't now so it lags very much. Even while playing games like temple run
2 the clock speed doesn't want to go any higher..
OK, anyone?
Should I root and flash a custom kernel and see? can I even repair this problem if I use my warranty?

[FIX]Note 2 crackling sound in earphones randomly

I faced this annoying problem where earphones made crackling sound randomly while playing music only while screen was off.
I saw another thread where people faced same problem in S III, but no definite solution.
FIX :
You need to be rooted.
Just change your CPU governer to "On Demand".
Mine was set to 'pegasusq'. I believe it forces CPU into low power mode while the screen is off and CPU frequency becomes so low that read speed of music files reduced.
Above FIX resolved my issue. I wanted to share so that anyone suffering from same issue can be benifited.

If you want to use the same CPU governer(as it has good performance), you can set the minimum CPU freq to say 400.
Thanks for sharing the fix. I also face this problem while using Nadia kernel and have no idea how to fix it and eventually reflash another rom and. Now I know how to fix it. Its really annoying problem. Thanks avain

If you are rooted, then just download any CPU monitoring app. I personally use Rom Toolbox. In CPU/Processor settings in the app, you will find "Governer" and a list of available governers to choose from. Let me know if you still have trouble finding it.
TIP : Don't set Governer to "Powersave" even for trying it out. You wil find your fone lagging extremely.
Also don't play around much with other CPU settings unless you are absolutely sure what are you doing.

There actually isn't a need for changing the whole governor.
Download trickster mod from google play and in that change hotplug_min_CPU_lock to 2 whenever you want to listen to music, and change it back to 0 afterwards. Ondemand causes lags under heavy load and can be a battery drainer too. Pegasusq is multicore aware and can scale the cores depending on load and hotplug threshold defined by min wake CPU frequency or run queue length, and thus is more liberal on battery too, while providing a good performance at same time.

Well that really works and I still can't figure out what caused the issue. I was in resurrection remix 5.7.4 with no agni and it was doing all good.. I am now in Eclipse v9 with agni kernel set to all default except the touch wake. I am seeing no such problem any more.
May be Kernel is what that is making that freaky noise..
Thanks for the suggestion.

Why can't I change CPU frequencies?

I'm using the newest flash kernel and elementalex kernel manager. Its been happening more and more. This time its stuck at max frequency on the big cluster. Everything else I can change like normal. What is causing this? I'm about to lose my mind with this crap. Its happened in several roms too. Right now I'm on screwd android nougat.

Do you have Facebook or Facebook Messenger installed? The latter app especially has been known to cause Max frequency problems for some people.
I do have those apps. But this is when im first setting up a new rom so they are not installed yet. It is also stuck overclocked when it happens. It finally let me change it this time. I have no clue as to why it does eventually let me but not at first. It didn't used to do this on previous version of flash kernel. I also tried changing it with another kernel app and it let me, no problem. Its something about exkm.

After rebooting or flashing files, the phone runs warm which means you cannot tweak CPU functions due to thermal throttling. The phone throttles when hot (worse if you live in a warm environment) or have low battery. That's a side effect of the Snapdragon 810.
If these issues persist half an hour or more after boot, then there is an app keeping your CPUs clocked high, like mentioned before.

Keep it simple then. Uninstall then install EXKM from the Play Store and reboot. Open the app after two minutes then grant root access and modify kernel settings. Big cluster may still be offline due to rebooting.
Alternatively, clear data for EXKM and reboot then wait until it's been granted root permissions to modify kernel settings.

For solving your issue, use Kernel Adiutor, go into thermal on the side menu, and disable throttling. - this worked for me
Secondly, I do not recommend Screw'd, it left me well screwed.
- Home screen locking up, only being functional after rebooting
- VERY bad CPU over heating - I'm taking about 180°F - 82°C -while running social media and scrolling. And actually having to physically put the phone on ice to cool it down while I pulled files when I switched off of the ROM
- Random systemui crashes, kind of like CM all over again
I don't know if you get these issues, but I would recommend using a different ROM from my experience.
TL;DR : Screw'd causes CPU over heating and frequency troubles, also use Kernel Adiutor in thermal section to "unlock" or make it easier to tweak frequencies. Good luck!

Wow, i cant believe screwd gives you such problems. Its has been my favorite nougat rom since last months beta. My phone never overheats. Ive only felt it get warm to the touch a few times since i got it last march. As far as throttling goes, if it does i never notice so it must not be too bad.
