Has anyone else noticed the sound is a little distorted through headphones whenever the phone is charging up? I noticed it while playing my mp3's in the work van via the aux input, the sound kinda squeaks and squeaks while the phone's on charge. It's perfectly fine when unplugged, and the player used makes no difference. Thinking it's a hardware quirk.

Hi,
Now that you mention it,I heard something similar when I was charging it on the move the other day.
I will listen out more carefully next time.
I thought it was the vehicle that I was driving that was squeaking.
If you listen to a song with clear breaks in the sound, you can hear the squealing die out as the sound does.
Just tested but I don't hear any noises :thumbup:

While charging?

Does anyone else have this issue where sometimes when you plug in headphones the sound still comes through the speaker? I have the headphones plugged all the way in. I usually have to restart the phone to get it to work properly.
[Edit]: When this happens the sound comes out from the speaker as well as through the headphones.
Mine is more of when I bump the headphone jack it either plays through the speaker or pauses the song. It seems very sensitive
My first Vibrant had a faulty headphone jack, that would short out with even the slightest touch. You guys might be in the same boat.
Overall, yes, I would agree that the headphone jack is 'cheap'. It seems as if it could be easily broken, and having one arrive DOA is not a great sign.
If you're still able to, I'd take your phones in for a swap. You're not going crazy.
Same issue here. It's especially an issue when you're sitting in your quite cube at work about to watch The Bed Intruder video on YouTube and it comes blaring out of the speaker when you thought is was going to come out of your headphones.
I think the third connection point for the video causes the problem since the device has 3 contacts instead of just left and right audio like most devices.

Hi - just wondering if anyone else noticed some background noise / distortion when using headphones on the tab 7.7.
Happens when playing any sound and continues for 2-3 seconds after it stops. Tested with the stock buds and some replacement buds I picked up a few days ago. With my over the ear headphones I can't hear it though. Easiest way to test is just by playing a movie and pausing it.... there is a hissing noise for a few seconds afterwards.
Maybe related: even with headphones plugged in, notification sounds come out of the speakers - this is my first Android device so I'm not sure if that's normal or not.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it might be hardware related. Thanks!

Yeah I get that too. Doesn't really bother me though. I mean, it's not like I can still hear it while playing music or anything...
Mine's pretty noticable, even when playing music/videos. Weird that it's totally quiet with my over-the-ear headphones

Personally, I only really notice it if there's a trailing silence from music or videos, but while there's actually sound, I can't detect it.
Got my Note3 on VZW last night, and so far i love almost everything about it....except...
I am sitting at work streaming music. I have a set of speakers plugged into the headphone jack.
When i receive an SMS (or any notification), the music pauses like normal. However, right before and after the pause, i hear a "pop" sound, as if i physically unplugged the speakers and plugged them back in. My Gnex that the note replaced definitely did not do this.
I don't believe it made the sound when connected BT in my car.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior? It sounds like a grounding issue.
Same for me

I am using Rhapsody, so there isn't another app option. I dont have any local music on the phone yet, but i will try that at some point.
I stream music through Rhapsody every day. I hope this isn't a hardware issue. Seeing poweramp work better makes me hopeful it is just a software issue.
When I use my Bose QC15 headphones with my phone, if I launch an app or press one of the nav keys, I hear a clicking sound through the headphones, like it is turning off and on almost.. I know that sounds odd, but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and has a possible solution?
Also, when audio is playing this noise stops. It is only when there is no audio playing.
Thanks.
Hi, I'm experiencing the same thing. I bought earphones by Aukey on Amazon and they were doing this clicking that got progressively worse as the call went on. I now bought a pair of Gwee buds. Same problem. Both sound fine on regular audio video and on other phones...

I can report the same problem as well. I have a pair of RHA T20, and I can hear the clicking sound whenever I enable "reverberation" in Viper4Android. Maybe it's your sound setting?
Odds enough, it happens only one the ear that has the Mic attached to it on the Green buds. I'll try the aukeys to compare. I check the sound settings and get back to you too

6P noise also
I use my 6P in my car for navigation and occasional music. I use a cable to connect from the headphone jack to the aux in on the car's sound system. Very often, but not always, I get what sounds to me like cross over noise, playing on both channels. Rhythmic ticks and taps, some buzzes and so forth. I believe it to be digital noise, bleeding in from god knows where. It corresponds to touchscreen activity, and only occurs when the 12v adapted power supply is plugged into the phone. Unplug the USBc and all is quiet, except for what is supposed to be coming through.
I've searched quite a bit and this thread is the closest I've found to my experience. Any ideas?
So first day with the phone and I get in the car to listen to music and there's a hiss and just weird noises. I'm like awe crap, I've got a bad one. I pull out some headphones and there's no hiss.
I restart the phone and plug it back into the car and still a hiss, retest headphones, they are fine.
Is it bad or is everyone getting this. My note 5 is fine on both with the same test.
It's worse when charging, but my other phone [Note 5] is dead silent. When charging it's extremely bad, like an fm station losing signal.
Also posted this on redit and others are having the same result.
Try different auxiliary cable to further you hypothesis. But haven't noticed this. Will test in the am.

I originally had this in the verizon Q&A.
I noticed a constant hiss or static sound coming from my car speakers whenever there was silence during music playback from my phone when connect through the aux cable. I thought it was a hardware problem. Lucky for me it wasn't and I didn't have to exchange my phone or cough up any money. Easy fix was, I went into settings under sounds and vibrations and went to sound quality and effects and turned on the uhq upscaler and the static was gone. I worked and sound is much better! If the option is grayed out, insert the plug into the headphone jack. Let me knowif it works for you!

I'll be trying that first thing when I leave for work
I am an Android newbie who ran into this problem earlier today as well. I switched the upscale feature on and the problem still persists. To note I was listening to a song via YouTube.

Toggled off and back on. The hiss or Humm is gone but the audio quality is the same as the speaker on the phone itself. I played with each equalizer setting to get it to sound normal to no avail. Guess I'm going to walk into a store tomorrow with audio cable in my hand and try display device and my device and see if there is a difference
THANK YOU!!!
Wife took my aux cable out of the motor home. I got it back to use my new S7 for the first time and HORRIBLE static. Proceed to blame wife for breaking the cable. Buy a new cable ... still hisses (uh oh, perhaps I should not have been so quick to blame the wife). Try on my home stereo, no hiss. Try in my trucks aux jack with same cable, no hiss. Try the same cable in RV, terrible hiss.
Interestingly, I found that if i had the volume on the phone down around 1/3 there was no hiss, but with the stereo all the way up the music was too quiet. But, 1 click on the phone volume up button, terrible hiss. One click back down, hiss goes away. When I first had the problem a few days ago, the hissing would actually vary with the beat of the music ... so weird.
Anyway, just went out to the RV, plugged in my phone, playing the music with terrible hiss. Flip the UHQ toggle and miraculously the hiss is gone!!!
So happy to find this easy solution. No idea what Samsung did to screw this up in the first place.
