Looks like hardware problem, but not sure.

I find something on others site's, but nothing concluded, some people's complaining about this green screen without dropping their phones

Weird soft typing/clicking noise on 8525

When I'm on the phone with the Cingular 8525, I would randomly hear some kind of soft typing/clicking noise through the speaker.. I tried talking on the phone with my bluetooth headset and I still hear the damn noise!
Anyone else experience this?
possible screen tap sound from your cheek or something in your pocket (when using bluetooth) touching the screen? turn off screen tap sounds and see if it goes away.
I hear the same thing when I'm driving down the Pennsylvania Turnpike... It just may be one of the reasons I return this phone... Never had this issue w/ my other phone.

I used to get various clicks/sounds, which were meant to be there but annoying until I turned off event sounds etc.

I'm not aware of this being reported by others, except for a couple on this thread. So if event sounds are of and no apps running like push mail then I would think it's a faulty device.
Just for info you described the noise but I'm not clear whether this is an occasional sound or a more or less continuous noise. I'm afraid this device when you get a good one is briliant but there is a high number of flakey ones out there. Warranty return??

I'm on my second one and it seems to be on a certain strip along the Pennsylvania Turnpike that this persists... Anyone else still experiencing something like this?

You're probably well aware of this but just in case. Turning of screen tap sounds is not the same as turning off event sounds. Event sounds can be heard for all sorts of reasons including taping screen i.e when application starts to open but also as for example a wifi network is detected and any other event like switching from 3g etc etc.

My unit just started that weird rhythmic clicking sound this Friday. I've had the unit for a month. I get the noise in all places I've used the phone - all around the city.
The clicks happen in pairs, 1 pair roughly per second. A sequence of these pairs lasts between 3 and 10 iterations. Then a break the length of one pair and off they go again.
I too have done a soft reset and stopped all apps running. The clicking persists.

My Mini S Makes a Buzzing Noise...

hi everyone,
thanks for looking at this, i am a new user and have just have noticed that when you hold the bottom half of the handset where the navigational buttons are to your ear, you can hear a definate buzz. it is a high pitched ring and i can only hear it when it is fully on (not on standby), and it makes the noise in flight mode.
is this normal? isit a fault, should o2 take it in for repair? does anybody know any solutions or causes?
thanks for your help,
thepolice
I've never had a phone that buzzed but friends have had 'em. If I were you and it's under warranty, I'd at least call up, describe the problem and see what the carrier/manufacturer say about it. My friends never had a phone die on them because of it, but it never got better on it's own and it seems to be the display, leaving you nothing you can really do yourself.

This is where the vibrator is located in the MDA (top right corner) maybe it will help. This sounds like a service issue.
I recently read this posts . I have the same problem.
how did you fixed it ? btw, it is definetly the screen making noise, i dismantled the phone and turned it on and the screen was making that noise. It is verry annoying + if you try to overclock the cpu the noise changes frequency.
have a nice day !
ps. sorry if i revive a dead and old topic, but the issue is unsolved.

Haha don't worry about it mate... I took it to the shop and the guy explained that the sound is the frequency of the screen - like your tv. It's nothing to worry about and the sound won't get worse.
i was thinking it had smth to do with the frequency, it;s weard that some phones have that sound and some don;t.

speakerphone cracking when in a call

Hi,
I just got a td2 and straightaway thought that the speakerphone sounded abit crackly. After showing a couple of friends and seeing what they thought they both said the crackling was abit weird but maybe the phone was just like that but im not entirely sure.
Does anyone else have any trouble with there speakerphone? When the volume is completly low it sounds fine, putting it up even abit causes there to be a small crackle when someone speaks (signal is fine and ive tried with a few of my friends).
I've got a 14 day return policy with this company i have gotten my contract from and its been 3 days now and i should be able to get a replacement but i dont want to send it off and them to say this is how its supposed to be. So is this a known cause or is there something that can be fixed or did i just get a bad td2?
Thanks
I have had it with my Touch 3G, before making a call i blowed in the speaker and it was gone.
My HTC Touch Diamond2 does not have that problem.
i had a very similar problem. the speaker worked fine, but when the voice hit a certain pitch level it would distort slightly, like it was picking up a vibration.
I sent it back and got a replacement, and the new one is fine.
Right thanks to both of u, ive tried the blowing thing already and tried again but no luck.
I think the problem is exactly the same as the u described adamrob69 but I just didn't explain it very well lol, so i've sent them an email and will ring on monday and get it exchanged, how lucky must i be to get sent a faulty one .
Thanks
dont worry, it seems at the minute theres a 50-50% of getting a duff phone. The build quality is slipping on these phones.
Im still not enitrely happy with the quality of my second one, but whilst everything still works on it im not going to go through the hassle of changing again!
I have same problem but with speaker at side, when phone rings the sound cracks.

Galaxy phone reception is bad for me :( :(

Hello everyone i have had my galaxy for awhile now and i dont know why i never posted this but phone reception is very bad. When someone calls me or i call someone i can hardly hear them, this is with the volume turned up to max.....is there a volume hack or something to turn up volume on inner calls past the max ?....anything at all would be helpful.
There is a way to turn up your volume but you'd have to do it every time you reboot your phone, just search the forums for it. I never had a problem with my galaxy s phones gt-i9000m and I had two of them. Maybe your phone is defective and you can exchange it?

are you sure you are putting the earpiece where it's supposed to go?
if you have it higher, you wont hear it, if you have it lower you wont hear it
it has to be exactly facing your inner drums
it's the same with all other phones i've had in the past
have you tried Bluetooth? perhaps that will work better for you?
my SGS sounds loud and clear, and i got bad hearing
Same problem with mine. I find it has something to do with the signal though. When I call OCTranspo or my voicemail or something it's loud and clear, but when I speak to people it always sounds like they're whispering.
hmm it seems fine right now....i really hope it was cause i was in a dead spot or low signal reception when i was on the phone....i will monitor the phone for the next few days and post here if i fall into this problem again thanks for the help guys!...oh and Gamer ill look into that bluetooth headset maybe.
the first 2 are recorded messages, so the audio quality is expected to be the same all the time
those are very good point of reference
that means whatever it is the problem is not the phone earpiece, but the people talking on their end
otherwise you'll be hearing whisper like sound from the voice recorded systems

Camera Switching Sound - Faulty hardware?

Hello guys!
Today I've been going home and suddenly a really have rain started and a lil drop of water got on my phone and it went straight for my earpiece's mesh. I instantly wiped it away and I freaked out that something bad will happen to my phone.
Anyways, I turned it off and then tried to dry it with my hairdryer and started sucking on the mesh (desperate times) but the earpiece seemed to work so I shrugged it off.
FUN PART: I was in my room alone and everything was completely silent and I had the idea that I should check if stuff works so I tried the everything, then I got to the camera and I tried switching the cameras and I heard the NOISE. It's kind of a "tz" or "dz" mechanicalish (?) noise when switching the cameras, ESPECIALLY if I switch it to the front. I asked one of my friends who also has a Mi A1 and he said that his phone does the same.
Can you try it too? It's audible only in silence, or if you put your phone to your ear and switch cameras that way.
Thanks in advance!
Mine too, it's normal, just the camera focusing in I think.
Thanks for the quick answer. I was hoping that other people experience this phenomenon, and my phone isn't faulty after all. The only thing left is that my fingerprint sensor looks weary.. But I gotta live with that I guess
I'm waiting for other people's replies also!
Omg yah haha. I have that tz tz sound as well! ?
I have it too
I remember having it on other phones as well. Shouldn’t be a problem
yes mate i have that to..its not a big deal...
Thank you very much for the replies!
The phone camera contains moving parts which is used for focusing.
When you start or close the camera and when you focus, you can hear a sound coming from it.
This is normal. It is not related to the software version in your phone nor the phone model.
I suggest you move on, nothing to worry about!
