Electrical feedback through sound - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just noticed this. With headphones on I heard little electrical sounds on the right side whenever I press something on the touchscreen. I tried this on 2 different pairs of headphones and it happens on both. It is annoying when I don't have music playing cuz then I can hear it. It isnt very loud but is noticeable.
Anyone else experience this?
I am on CyanogenMod nightly BTW, so that may have something to do with it but my feeling is it is hardware based issue.

I just did a test and it appears its only happens when the phone is plugged in. The power from the cord being so close to the headphone jack must be messing with it. Well this sucks! I'd like to hear if anyone else is experiencing this. Thank you.

none whatsoever, try different headset\appliance, yours could have a wire\water corrosion issue

I flashed back to stock and to my surprise the problem wasnt there any more. I will have to test CyanogenMod and this problem more.

Out from speaker when headphones connected?

When I plug in the headphones(the one's included) the output comes from the speaker AND headphnes at the same time? I might be a lil tipsy but I can't find in the menu for this....I just wanna hook up my headphones and quietly jam out. But can't!

How did you guys fix this? I tried battery pull and turned on/off but no luck. The headphones quality sounds horrible when this happens. Starting to think it's a hardware issue? Thanks for your help.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
All I did was did a battery pull. Left it out for about 10 seconds, then put it back in. I must say the sound quailty is nice(headphones that were included). I came from a moment and sound was low....on here its loud

i had the same issue when i was using Btunes to listen to music. When i went back to the stock app and also doubletwist the issue went away. I thought i was going crazy when i sat my phone down and could still hear music. LOL.

I had the headphones/speaker playing today at the same time as well, it happened when I didn't push the headset in all the way and then backed it out and replugged. It probably botched the software up going in/out/in like that, probably locked the external speaker on.
Yours, on the other hand, sounds like hardware. When the cable gets wonky on my aux wire, I get severe quality issues and I can kind of imagine what you're getting at with yours. Make sure that the plug clicks all the way in, and if the problem keeps happening - hardware it is.

Ringer plays out of ear piece speaker

Running stock dk28 and I'm missing phone calls because the ringer is playing out of the ear piece speaker instead of the speaker phone speaker. Has anyone seen this? Anyone have a fix?
Also, my ear piece speaker pops sometimes for no reason. It's really killing me!
To note, stock di works just fine, no pops, nothing. Ringer works just fine.

I posted about this issue a while back. It seems to happen after disconnecting Bluetooth.

I've often wondered if that was the case. Wonder if it has to do with the bluetooth stack? So really, only the two of us are having this issue?
It's possible that you two are the only ones using a bluetooth headset that detach it while expecting calls.

Acutally I just notced this issue yesterday. I have the motorola s10 stereo bluetooth headset that I use every morning when I go to the gym. I usually have my ringer on vibrate but I noticed that the ringer was playing through the ear piece and not the speaker. I reset the phone and everything went back to normal but is there a fix for this?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I had the same issue once, but unfortunately I'm not sure what triggered it, I don't use bluetooth ever.
restarting the phone resolved it and I haven't seen it since.
Stupid bluetooth. Oh well. Hope they fix it before they release it in a few years. Haha!

Audio jack problem

Is it who had a problem with the audio jack. I bought the phone a week ago and now has begun to come to the association problems?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
These new threads are making my head hurt. Do anyone proof read anymore?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If you are using the ear phones that came with the phone, thats the problem. They are absolutely terrible. Try another pair and see if it works any better
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I've tried different headphones and the problem will not disappear if even the slightest move the headphone jack side the phone starts to use the loudspeaker or the music stops. Apparently, the connector is broken
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Are you sure the connector was inserted all the way? Try pushing it in harder.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Same exact problem here, headphone jack is problematic, have to wiggle my headphone while inserting to hear audio (takes me several tries until i finally can hear audio), and microphone completely does NOT work
Have tried stock headphones and iPhone headset, same problem, i have to wiggle until i hear audio, mic completely doesn't work.
I am convinced it is indeed the Audio jack, because both of my headsets work perfectly in other phones and gadgets, both audio and mic.
My phone stock kernel and have never update it (refuse to update without change-log) doubt update will fix anything, i believe it's a hardware problem.
For now Bluetooth is my alternative for headset.
If anyone knows where they sell replacement audio jack, plz post a link.
Could well be a dry joint on the socket to PCB. Take in for a repair better still a replacement hand set..

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 have emailed pandora from the market and I guess we will see if they reply or update the app

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.

Very faint crackle from ear speaker

I've noticed my nexus 4 has a crackling sound from its ear speaker very faint almost not noticeable without close inspection oh and its started to heat up to about 38 to 40c not sure if that's a good reason to RMA it . but hey you never know if its hardware or software fault
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If I put my phone to my ear, even with the screen off, I can hear a rediculously quiet clicking static sound, is this what you mean? I only notice it when I try to notice it so it doesn't bother me, an RMA would be pointless and more trouble than what its worth.

This is a known issue. No need to RMA, the new device will more likely than not have the same problem.
