If I bring the phone to my ear I can hear faint static noise, like it's transmitting something. Sometimes it sounds similar to a fax. I can only hear it when I bring it to my ear. It's always there, unless I turn off the phone. I tried disabling data and putting it in airplane mode, nothing works. Any suggestions as to why it's doing that?

Ok, seriously, what you're hearing is the result of you being swallowed in a huge field of radiation. Just think of all the wireless signals, from mobile networks, wi-fi, to the leftover radiation of the Big Bang. That's what you're hearing. Those signals interfere with the magnets inside the ear piece, and produce static noise. It happens to all phones, more or less.
funny. seriously though, this is what i hear.

apparently this issue has been around since the phone was first released. some people hear it very loud, luckily for me, its not that bad. i've never experienced anything like that with my other phones. mind you, this is going on all the time, not just when im on the call. just think its strange.

I have it too. Don't worry about it.
I also have this. This is likely to be a circuit board trace that is too close to the speaker module causing interference.
There are similar reports about static coming from the headphone jack caused when the proximity sensor is active.
Likely a design flaw
Just something that we will have to live with

Hi guys,
I'm having this problem and I would like to know if it's happening to someone else. There are certain parts of the battery cover that will click and crack when pressed. They're basically the phone's "temples" (the top part of the phone's sides) and the area around the headphone jack, as shown on this pic:

It's pretty irritating, since that's basically the area I use to grab the phone and get it out of its case. Do you get it too?
I don't have this problem. But I expect people will get the same problem if they open the battery cover too many times. You can try calling HTC to see if you can buy a battery cover from them.
mine does it. Didn't at first, now it does. No big deal.
Thanks for your replies guys, glad to know that at least one more person has this problem too
Rvinny, have you ever dropped your phone? I have, and fear both things might be related.
I've dropped it like four times now and mine doesn't creak. I am probably the pickiest person in the world too, but I have to say... the build quality on this phone is pretty solid... its just too bad they used the worst speakers ive ever heard in a mobile phone before. Bet the speakers on the desire will be good though ... bastards...
mine clicks in the same spots.
i've been thinking about getting a replacement battery cover.
easy fix - put a miniscule amount of electrical tape right under each of the corner tabs on the battery cover to use as a padding/buffer. result - solid feeling phone, no more flex.

Dude, it worked! you saved my phone!
Does anyone know of any earbuds without a cord at all. I want to very discretely listen to music at work.
Jaybird makes a decent set. I can't remember what model they are, but I use mine to listen to Pandora while running. Works like a charm

here you go take a look at these, i been looking for a pair like this for a while. I have been using the Altec back beat 903 and love them except for the connnection cord between the two earpeices, i have thick hair and the cord is a bit on the stiff side so it tends to pull them out of my ears. but these may be just what we both are looking for...

Sorry, but those exist only on Ennova Direct's drawing board. No one has yet to license their patent for manufacture.
that is really a shame, they look like they would be totaly awesom, i really love the ones i got but if i could get rid of the cord between the ear sets it would be the best. they stay on my ears perfectly until the, rather stiff, cord that connects them hits my shirt coller or jacket coller, then it pushes them up and off my ears.
actually been thinking of doing a little modding on them, see if i can replace that cord with a slightly longer and a much thinner connection cord. It is my belief that the stiff part is just a type of conduit or sheath that could be removed.
Hello people I need the experience/knowledge of a comunications/respective engineer (because I haven't started my comunications course yet.... Will be in about 1 week ) .... As I can see the phone ne signal contacts are on the sim/mmc cover... So basicaly for most of the people the contacts must have worn out of like this (yhe black line you can see on the contacts plastic has been exposed )

So basicaly my question is that can I apply some solder in that area to make allow the pins to make proper contact... without this modification making my chances of exposure to rf radiation increase by hell of a lot increasing health risk (also without deteorating quality of reception further) and possibly could I increase the side of this antenna by attaching small copper strips on both the copper contact thank you.. If I get a green signal from anyone.. I will mod my antenna and make a how to

i think you wont do it any better, because this surface is already optimised for power of transmitting, so actually any wires could make even worse signal...
you could try maybe soft scratching of your pins with keys or coin.
p.s.: i have the same "worn out" pins, but you should know that my sim cover was removed maybe three times since i bought it...

Yeah, don't worry about it. You'll be fine. Just turn off your device prior
So I accidentally broke the NFC pin the other day and decided not to solder it back as I might get the device into an even worse state(and I don't use NFC).
The question is, is it safe not to put it back? Do I get any side effects for not putting it back?
Thanks.

There is 1 obvious side effect. Nfc won't work lol, you might have settings force close or a kernel error as well, with the hardware missing. That's just speculation on my part as i don't know for sure.
That soldering job looks doable, albeit a bit precise. I say try it without abs if you have issues, calm down get you hands steady and attempt the repair with tons of patience.
Btw... Wtf were you doing in the first place to break it off?

Well, i was repairing the screen lift issue that i was having. Then when i was about to check the screen, something (maybe a string of cloth) tangled and broke it. I know i am clumsy at those times and have learned my lesson..
I am not really using NFC at all( the Philippines is behind when it comes to NFC implementation) so i am considering leaving it that way since i am not having any FC (for now)
Yeah it's still pretty much a gimmick here in the states. I say if isn't causing any issues then it should be ok with out it.
I would still keep it in an anti static bag in a safe place in case of either future issues or desire for Nfc.

Thanks for the input studacris. I'm keeping my fingrers crossed for this broken NFC thing.
It's just a connection to the NFC antenna, no other side effects other than NFC not working.
Beamed from my Grouper.
OK, I finally found something that isn't perfect. If you are charging phone and have earphones on, there is some (CPU?) noise from doing stuff with the GUI. I first noticed it changing settings on Neutron (no music playing). Then messing around with anything with GUI, notifications, etc seems to do it. I have not been able to hear it unless phone is charging.
Try it and see what you think.
I guess this is perhaps a side effect of the headphone on the bottom.

Is it a fairly quite buzzing/humming noise? I've had this on pretty much every phone ive ever used, you can also put your ear up to the speaker and hear it.

No, it is a cpu noise, high pitched whine, correlated to doing things on screen. For example, pulling down notification window.
My I9300 does not do it.
the rezound did this exact thing and they fixed it in an OTA.. i believe it was a software fix.
doesn't have to do with headphones on bottom. rezound was on top

That's great to hear!
I have the same issue on my old s3, although I haven't tried on the g2 yet. On the s3 it was the pwm adjusting on the charger to match changing current draw from the phone. Sounds like it may be the same here.

FWIW, the noise seems to be only using wall charger. I don't hear it charging on pc.
This sounds like what I hear. I can hear this from the speaker on mine all the time even when not on the charger. Initially I thought I only heard it while on a call but then for some reason I put the phone to my ear when not on a call and I still heard the noise. It is very annoying and I have taken it to two different VZW stores to try and get them to replace it because I figured it was a defective phone but they couldn't hear it so they wouldn't do anything. Does anyone else hear this noise when not on the charger? The sound sounds similar to what you described and seems like some CPU noise or possibly the radio. Maybe this is an inherent issue with all of the G2 but hopefully they will release an update that can fix it.
Only with stock charger
Hi,
I have been holding off rooting and modding my phone because of this issue. Now that I found this thread and know that it is a common issue I won't bother with an exchange.
Nice catch that charging from the PC does not generate any noise. I have subsequently tested with PC USB charging and an old HTC charger and I get no noise when using them.
I believe it is down to the high charging current of the stock charger and the way the phone handles high-speed charging.
However if I had had this noise even when not charging I definitely would have sent it back.
I have the some problem too..it's annoying when you are charging your phone and use it in the same time
I have noticed the noise only in the right channel. Same for anyone else?
