Solution to the hissing sound on G3 - G3 General

I am using sony XBA-H3 , which has two kind of lines
one is with mic, four channel plug. Another is without mic, three channel plug
this solution is just for three channel plug headphones
Everything you need to do is play your music first, and then plug in your headphone which has three channel plug
the phone will detect as audio out put bet headphone(look at the small icon on the notification bar)
and then, you will find that
AMAZINGLY, THE HISSING SOUND DISAPPEARED
So, i think the issue might come from some audio process for headphone only?
But, at least, we finally got a way to listen to music on our G3
edit
you need to plug your headphone very slowly that it could be identified as audio out put

Very Strange Audio Output problem on the 2.5mm Jack

Hi,
I've noticed an audio output distortion of some frequencies when listening to music, in the sound coming out of the 2.5mm jack.
When the speakers on the device is used, there is no problem.
When I plug the headphone, there is sound output, I hear the music, but some frequencies are lowered so much that I can't hear the singers voice. When I unplug, the speakers work fine and I can hear the singer again.
In additon that, most of the background instruments can be heard as well as the backvocals, if they are female.
It's like the sound is being processed (like an equalizer) when I plug the headphone, some frequencies are lowered, given some echo, reverb etc.
I don't understand how this is possible. I am thinking of a hardware contact problem, but it's hard to believe if this is a hw problem.
I've tried two firmwares (2.16.x, 2.25.11.1) and made hard reset also. No result.
Any ideas?
Note: I can try to actually record the sound tonight if anyone wants to hear.
Best regards,
Fast
maybe try a different headset first?....could be a short in the cable, because what you are describing is a phasing issue with the headset speakers......
Thanks for the response Kiru,
Just tried a different headset plugging it into my HAMA 2.5 --> 3.5 adapter. same result.
I will try the original headphone came with the Wizard. If the source of the problem is the HAMA adaptor, this should resolve it. (i hope it is)
Could you please elaborate on the "phasing issue" ?

Hmm....how can I explain.....Let's start with the speaker itself. A speaker has two terminals on it, one postive and one negative. What we want is to have the positve from the source (ie. Amplifier) to the positive terminal of the speaker, and the same for the negative. Since there is a pair of speakers, we want them to be hooked-up correctly. If hook-up correctly then the speakers are in phase with each other, and this is called constructive interference, hence in phase. When ONLY ONE of the speakers is hooked-up backwards, we call this destructive interference, hence being out of phase. Being out of phase causes frequencies to cancel or sound muffled. Hope you kind of get what I mean, but I highly doubt that this is the problem with headphones because heaphones nowadays rarely get manufactured with this problem. This is just the electrical part of phasing. Also, you can have one speaker, and it could sound out of phase because of the distance it is firing from walls or the shape of the room due to the reflections of sound, this is called acustical phasing.
A short in the cable, meaning the positve and negative wire are somewhat touching, can cause a similar effect, and I suspect that this is problem for you. As you now state that you are using an 2.5 to 3.5 adaptor, I would agree with you that most likey you have a faulty adaptor.
Hope this helps! and keep me posted!
Hi again,
Thanks again for the explanation Kiru, I know a bit of electronics so I got the problem.
However, I'm now home and tried to original headset, no result. The same problem is existing.
This makes me believe that I've broken something inside the Wizard which shortcircuits something. I'm very dissapointed.
Maybe the only way is now to buy a stereo bluetooth headset...
Thanks for your help
Any reason that you can't return to orange for repair/replacement?
PROBLEM SOLVED
I got this unit from priceminister second hand. It's origin is not France, I don't have a purchase receipt neither.
By the way, I solved the problem. I disassambled the unit using the info given in one of the posts in the forum. I played a little with the contacts, there was oxidation in the outer solders, i cleared them up etc, it 's working at the moment.
I'll post some pictures afterwards.
and I hope i will be able to reassamble it, I already have a piece of thing which I don't know where to put
I got the same problem. Was working fine for 2 months then all of a sudden the headphone plug is all messed up. Volume is all distorted I can sometimes hear a song but quality is no where near the original. Usually everything sounds echoed. I think something is wrong with the plug
I've had the same problem. The headphone jack on the Wizard is crap. If you have your Wizard in your pocket with an adapter, as you move, the adapter pries back and forth on the jack. This breaks the cheap jack.
If you want to listen to your Wizard as an music player, you should invest in a nice set of bluetooth headphones and only plug the jack in when the wizard won't be moved around a lot, like a home or car stereo.
I recommend Nextlink Spider headphones. They double as a headset and you can navigate through your library with the button on them.
MUSIC Speed
I got the same problem here. The SE stereo btooth headset isnt yet in our place.
Anyway, i experienced this one with ROM2.16 Imate. The sound speed or music speed seems to being played faster than normal. But when i tried to plug the 2.3-3.5 adopter and quickly pull it out, the sound is played in normal speed then. strange.....
are you all sure that the wizard has a stereo output ? I thought it was mono.
Anyway you can get earpieces and headphones with a 2.5mm jack so you don't need a 2.5-3.5mm adapter.
Maybe the contacts on your jack are not connecting properly with the internal contacts of your adaptor

[Q] Headphone jack

Hello.
I'm using HD2 about 1.5 year and I have one problem I can't fix. When I'm hearing music on headphones and I'll touch headphones cable songs just change, phone rings to last called number and all that staff from remote controller on standard headphones. It's pretty annoying because i have to hold my phone in hand. When i put it in my pocket while I'm moving then phone moves -> cable moves -> songs change. I'm NOT using standard HTC headphones, I've tried a lot sets of headphones and it happens on every one. I think that something may be wrong with the headphones jack, but i can't send it to HTC because i changed the screen on my own when I got it broken.
So here comes my question. Is there any possibility to switch off the options of remote controller from standard headphones (next song, prev. song etc)? I am using Sennheisser headphones without controller.
Common problem on non standard headphones. Issue is due to rings on plug nut aligning as should & sending false signals.
seems mainly down to headset plug but device socket wear could have some effect on this.
Never had this problem as I use original headset lead modded with a 3.5mm female headset jack.
What OS are you on ? this may help you get better specific answers on software fixes & advice.
I'm using Energy ROM and DL init (?) Android - can't exactly remember the build's name. Sometimes it happens more often than other times. I think it's happening most on WM.
I was hoping that there is some kind of fix which switches the controller off, prevents from using those rings which you mentioned that are responsible for controller.

[Q] sound plays on the speakers even if there is a headest plugged on the tab

Hi
Yesterday I wanted to look at a movie on my tab;
I plugged a headset on the tab, and started to play the movie.
The curious thing is that the sound came both from the tab speakers and in the headphones.
How could I do to have the sound ONLY on the headphones ?
Thanks
Nico
The Tab should simply recognize the jack has been plugged in, and deliver sound only to the headphones.
Is it playing on BOTH the headphones and speakers, or just the speakers?
As a simple test, check if you get the same problem using a different set of headphones.
I've had a similar experience a few times, where the sound will play out of both the speakers and the headphones (annoying those sitting next to me on planes). What worked for me was simply unplugging the headphones and then plugging them back in again, until you see a small headphone icon on your status bar. Once you see that icon, you can be fairly certain the sound is only coming out of the 'phones.
I know it's a simple remedy, and you have probably tried it already, but that's what worked for me.
I forget what the app is but there is an app in the market that will solve this problem if the unplug and replug method doesn't work for you.

[Q] headphone audio randomly stops and plays out of the speakers

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this - I will play some music using Power amp or double twist and randomly the headphone audio will stop and will start playing through the speakers. It seems to be related to notifications I believe which try to play through the speakers which then steals the audio away from the headphones and back to the speakers.

Haven't had the problem, but you need to isolate the problem to software/hardware first if no one else has reported this type of error. A loose plug, loose wire, cheap or faulty headphones as well as sweat in earbuds could all false signal the plug into thinking the headphones are not plugged in. Try switching them out to a new pair and check for loose plug after you insert them. Then, I since you said it is random, but try and find a situation where it can be repeated to see if it is on the hardware side.
A couple suggestions. Faulty headphones can cause all type of hardware and software bugs with the 'smart' devices that detect when they are plugged in (voltage sensing not just a mechanical switch like the good old days...). Hope you can use something..

Galaxy s7 Edge Major problem with headphone jack & Bluetooth

So i just got my phone on march4 and i found out 2 major problems on my s7 edge i did a research and seems to be im not the only one with this issue.
1- Bluetooth doesnt work with any wireless speaker i can connect the phone to the speaker but the music come from the phone speaker.
2- the headphone jack make static and horrible noise when you use a aux cable (for example i use my phone on my car with a aux cable and this static breaking noise is problem) now seems to be that the cord doesnt go all the way in into the headphone jack which is a huge concern to me.
3- when you are trying to listen music or audio trough the 2 option above the volume rocker only change the Ringtone volume not the Music/audio volume another big problem.
4- the stock music player is gone
A last i call samsung regardless the problem and they told me they will escalate the situation and they told to go to my carrier to order a replacement if i want to. so people remember you only have 15 days to return or get a replacement if you have the same problem.
All audio related - Sounds handset specific? Good luck on the replacement

Has to be defective unit

1- i am using it in my car as bt speaker listening to pandora no prob
2- using jack for speakers at work all night pandora no static (change ur aux maybe?)
3- perfectly working for me
4- i dont see it too lol i see google play music and milk music thats it
I can't believe that these issues could be in all S7! In my opinion, it sounds like it's a faulty handset
We ordered two S7's and we are having the same noise issues with headphones. It makes a horrible noise but only when we are in the house. If you go outside, the noise stops. We have tried various things like disconnecting the wifi and nothing works. The headphones worked fine with the S5
1 is an easy fix simply user error, swipe down on the top of the screen and you should be able to select an "Audio Path/Audio Output" and from there select your speakers or headset. As for the static interference, it's hard to say what the source is from but it only occurs (at least for me) in high volume settings. Either get a shielded aux cable or use a portable amp, which is what I've been doing. If you do return it, keep us updated, I'm curious if if the static is "normal" or a defect.
Samsung's music app can be downloaded from "Galaxy Apps"
My husband and I got an s7 edge as well and we hear the same static noise when it's plugged into the aux cable. I've been thinking about taking it to my att store to see if they can help.
Static noise fix!!!
First you want to open up settings and go into sound and vibrations then you want to scroll down to swap sound quality and effects when you have an aux cable plugged in go ahead and switch the HQ upscaler from off to on and that is your solution to fixing static noises with the galaxy s7 and the galaxy S 7 edge. Everyone's welcome
I'm having the static issue as well. As soon as I touch the headphone jack (on the cord) the static is noticeable. The volume also changes.. Tried 3 different headphones, all the same.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Static issue is gone. However using the audio cable plugged into the auxiliary port in my car the audio sounds as if I'm listening through the speaker on the bottom of the phone but it's coming through the car speakers. I've tried every different setting in sounds and equalizer setting and nothing works. Looks like I may be sending 4 phones back and going with the G5
I am also having issues with the Galaxy S7, static noise from internal speaker and headphones. When you restart the phone it goes away and sounds crystal clear. I am not sure what could be causing this to randomly start, and why doesn't it happen constantly and it goes away when restarting the phone? The Samsung tech support agent said maybe an app I have on my phone is causing it. It happens with YouTube and samsung milk music, I'm not sure why only sometimes. Also it's weird that it happens in both samsung headphones and the internal phone speaker, even at low volumes.
Stock music player is not gone. Its in sam market. Taken away to make the software as bloatwarefree as possible. Blutooth through car speaker also works fine here.

Just curious if anyone has tried to use an auxiliary cable and plug it into the auxiliary port on their car stereo? How is your audio coming through?

Mine is having exactly the same issues as yours! The only way to avoid such noise is to use the BLUETOOTH speakers/headphones. What can we do now? Ask samsung to give us a new s7edge to try? Is S7e all like this?
I have a lot of static through car speakers with auxiliary cord
I've now tested 4 different headphones, 3 of them give static at the lightest touch to the headphone jack, 1 works perfectly fine.
I've never had this issue with any phone before and I have no idea what's causing it. UHQ setting doesn't make any difference.. Is it the IP68 rubber inside that's causing it?
I haven't got any of these audio issues, but allow me to list the devices I use:
BT to Mazda 6. No issues.
BT to Sony SBH-80 headphones. No issues.
BT to LG 'sound base' LAP250H. No issues.
Wired to Sennheiser sports headphones. No issues.
What I would say with aux cables, is that the quality of the cable can be the problem. If you've bought a very cheap cable off eBay then you might want to try a better quality cable - see if you're lucky enough to test one from an audio shop but DON'T let them talk you into buying some stupid £20/$20 3.5mm jack.
For bluetooth the phone will need to recognise the device as being able to play audio. There's two bluetooth outputs detected by my Mazda; I can either have the car take audio only, phone only or audio+phone. Now obviously a bluetooth speaker should default to taking audio, but I wonder if the speaker itself is at fault?

I've tried both of our Galaxy S7 Edge and S7's and different types of audio cables and with every one of them there is a problem with poor volume level where I can max the volume on both the car stereo and the phone and there's no bass. I've even taken them to Best buy and tried them on aftermarket radios and produce the same results. The samsung rep gave me the 800 number to Samsung.
I want to know if it's a hardware or software issue.
