[FIX]Note 2 crackling sound in earphones randomly - Galaxy Note II General

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.

I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device. This post is just a workaround if you are rooted user. If you don't know anything about rooting, please explore the forum first.

I will try boss..thanks.. ?

Work-around
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

this has been fixed in NE1 update

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.

I can only find min_cpu_lock NOT hotpug_min_CPU_lock, is this the same thing?

Yes that is, some CPU tweakers define it as hotplug min CPU lock

Nice trick :thumbup:
I just change to Ondemand Governer while listening music then back to Pegasusq.
But got to admit, it's a very annoying thing.

Hello, I am using agni kernel. I don't find ondemand governer in this latest version. Any workaround for this? I am really worried about the freaky noise that I get while listening to my favorite music.
Awaiting help.

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.

i do have the same problem before, unfortunately i was a hardware problem. To be precise I replace the audio IC.

Is changing audio IC easy to end user? I can access the board to its core and have tried another flex to check if it is problem with earphones jack. Can you please let me know how to get the IC changed.

A tip for a faster transformer

I just wanted to let everyone know I found that if I installed cpu master free version and set it to 608 / 1000 set to boot on and performance selected, my tab runs a whole lot smoother. My wife is able to play bejewelled blitz on facebook with it now so she is happy.
Seems the stock kernels are very Conservative on the scaling and never really run at 1000mhz till you really nail them.
If the battery life sucks a little more, which to me wasn't a biggie cause I get 3 days out of it you can buy CPU Master full version for 1.99 and it will allow you to run a screen off setting too.
Setcpu has done nothing but bogged my transformer down and my nexus S so I tried this one and it doesn't so I am passing on the info.
I am not associated with Cpu Master in any way.
If I helped you click on my THANKS button!
I assume you need to be rooted for this ?
Sounds very interesting ...I may have to try this out.

[Q] Static Noise Bug when playing Music

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

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 with Trinity 7 CPU overclocking

So I'm kind of new to messing around with tablets but learning a few things. On my Nexus 7 I decided to put Cyanogenmod 10 on it so I could customize a few things. I then decided I wanted to overclock the max CPU frequency past 1300 MHz so I installed Trinity 7 kernel. Now I'm able to run it at 1700 MHz which runs a few apps much faster but after exiting out of the apps and going back to check on the max CPU frequency and it's set back down to 1300 MHz.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? So far there's only one app I'm overclocking for so it's not a big issue but it would still be nice to figure out the issue.
Thanks
I down loaded too. I just changed the governer to performance and it stays on 1600 etc on set cpu

There might be an option for "set at boot." Try that.

That's not the solution. The performance governor keeps the cpu speed at max frequency at all times (even when screen is off). That will eat up your battery quick.

Thanks that seemed to have fixed it though I figured out you have to turn that on THEN pick the max CPU frequency. Doing it the other way around won't change anything, I think that's what I tried before.
Also mccolvinj I'd personally leave it on interactive so it will just use the max CPU when needed or at least that's what I got out of the descriptions of governors I looked up.
EDIT: Nevermind...that only temporarily fixed it, it went back to 1300 after a bit. Maybe I installed Trinity 7 wrong?

I think so since it's rooted, is there a way I can check or give it permissions?
you need the powerHAL "fix". your rom should include it, but i guess it doesnt. search the n7 forums for a flashable. or, the trinity kernel toolbox app includes the "fix" just in case your rom doesnt.

kernels arent rooted, your roms are. you can flash a custom kernel on a rom without root. the only difference is that you wouldnt be able to control the cpu with ant cpu control apps, the apps need root.
ive posted the solution already. either find the flashable powerHAL fix or use the trinity kernel toolbox to control the kernel. tkt includes the powerHAL fix.

For android 4.4 but it should work with 4.3 (untested)
Loving the latest Kernel mate, nice work.
I can quite agree with Nvidia making modding this tablet hardwork with their sources being like they are.
Whats even better with this Kernel is we can now have Custom bootanimations without it hitting the dam /lbh partition for it. So now i have a Android L Bootanimation lol

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.
