occaisonal Crakle in Ear Piece

Does anyone have a "crakle" sound in the earpiece - usually happens when someone speaks loud and the word starts with a p, b etc.
I've turned the volume down as it is quite loud.

hi,
im have the same problem the ear speaker is very loud and on my phone is the i and e ! i think the speaker is creaking... that too loud... have a Prof. a idea please ?? the volume is on dialog on Minimum.
thanks

Yes. I too have this problem.
when the volume is louder, the speaker creaks.
I have the same problem with my iPhone 3gs but with much higher volume.

Yes the ear volume is too loud.. They must make a fix for this

Is this think going to be fixed or should I drop my device ?
the HD I bought a year ago didn't have any of the HD2 issues

I have this problem, haptic touch vibration makes a strange rattling sound as well. I contacted VF and they said when they have more in stock they will send o new one to me......

anyone solved this?
Please can you tell if and how anyone solved the occaisonal Crakle in Ear Piece? Me too have the same problem with hd2 and latest rom allready on the device.It is very strange problem.

No fix as yet. No guarantees there will ever be! There is a thread concerned with this already.

So HTC was working on the SD card fix which was not even mentioned in the threads ( I did not notice someone really screaming because of it. maybe someone did but not as much as 8000 users ) which is a minor issue but they seem to ignore the crackling issue!!?? I did not receive any update since more than a month. Can someone please for god's sake contact them ? I said PLEASE because it's a major flaw...

My HD2 also suffers from the occasional crackle and sound distortion . Sound quality of my old N95 was far superior. Hope that its just a firmware issue and that an update will be released shortly. Generally happy with the phone overall though .

anyone get a hiss pulsating every now and then? its not everytime i take/make a call but just sometimes. its annoying! lol.

Yep, I heard it yesterday for the first time, not sure it was their all the time or that i had just noticed it.......all i know is that it drove me mad to the point that i had to hang up.

My first handset had the earpiece crackling, so I had it exchanged today. Sadly the new one also has this problem. I've called T-Mobile to see if I can get another exchange, but they'll only do one exchange and I've used that one up
I now have until next Tuesday (so Thurs this week thanks to Xmas bank hols) to decide whether to return or keep the phone.....Aaarrrrggghh!!!
I now understand why Vodafone dropped the HD2 from their line up. It's a great gadget for people like us, but just not finished enough to sell as a top of the range phone to the general public.

They all do it, it isn't that your particular handset is faulty. I've had two as well.

Ah, okay then. I had thought that I was just a bit unlucky. Hopefully there'll be a volume-fix out soon then.

I have same problem, hopping for a fix soon.

Some what disatisfied with my HD2

Dont know where to start.
1. crashes all the time,
2. crashes when the battery is low, have to do a soft reset to regain functionality
3. the battery life is a joke. charge in the morning and by around 4pm i got to be cautious on what calls i take as it will die on me.
4. freaks out randomly when using opera. could it be my fingers are too big? lol
5. sms some times dont send. found the fix on the htc site, still not working.
feel like i made a terrible mistake getting this phone, why should i have to do hacks/fixes my self when i have never needed to on any othr fone before?
its trully a different fone culture using this, as i type this on the hd2 i have had to retype this at least 7 times. lol....
anyway the basic functions should be flawless, but they are not which worries considerably.

Seems like you got a bad piece which is unfortunate. I hope you can get it changed, because this is not how it's supposed to be.
I think I got a pretty decent piece. I never experienced any battery issues and neither the sms bug which I know many experienced on this forum. Also mine never crashes so I can just assume that you got a faulty piece.
As for the typing I can agree with you. However, if you tweak by decreasing the sensitivity (which actually I never experienced as a decrease in sensitivity, only as an enhancement while typing), that problem will be gone as well. It's not a difficult tweak, it can be easily done by installing BsB tweaks which can be found here in the forums.
Although I agree with you that one should not be forced to tweak this phone oneself, but I guess we'll have to live with it

thanks for your reply,
i will try the tweak, and see how it goes, i emailed vodafone to let them know. i forgot to let them know how slow the phone gets some times.
oh well, this is what i get ditching nokia!

try to see if you can exchange the phone. must be able to if you can show the phone crashes to vodafone and if you have the device not for too long they should exchange it for you as far as I know,..

Vodafone! are saying they have none in stock and cant replace it, would it be worth just flashing it with a different ROM since there is nothing they can do...

Have you tried a hard reset?
Also MaskedMagi just posted that Vodafone DO have some replacement phones left: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5285586&postcount=184
Perhaps it would be worth calling them back.

Yep, just to clarify that was about 3 hours ago so fingers crossed I'll get the phone tomorrow, though with the incoming snow probably not
I'm hoping that it is actually a HD2 and not a HTC Touch HD 2 or something as people have been confused over the phone before, I'll definately check before giving back my old one!
Needless to say I hope the newer one is not in fact worse than the old one! Give them a ring if you want, but remember you have to be within the 28 day period to get a return/replacement.
The direct line for returns they gave me was: 08448540430

Called them back but it was to late, got to call back during normal working hours... they are playing the arse because i called after the 28 days, when in fact I originally called on the 30th December, 27 days from when i received the phone on the 3rd.
I am very much annoyed, if they werent on holiday, there systems were down, then if not that they put me through to 3 different depts to then have to email v-store to them then telling me I am actually meant to call another dept.
These guys cannot be serious!!!

If you make enough of a fuss and tell them your original call was within the 28 day period and that they have delayed you they might listen, just have to see how it goes. Good luck with them tomorrow, keep us posted on how it goes

Originally they did, and the lady was meant to call back. But when she did the phone crashed. So I called back on the land line and got someone else instead.
Then had to go through the whole process again!! Will call back tommorrow though!
Did a hard reset we will see how that goes in the mean time.

Call bar always green Note 3

Ok, so I just bought the note 3 as an upgrade from my note 2. I set up the phone and came to make a call when I soon realized that the bar on top is ALWAYS green. It should be black until someone answers then it turns green and when the person hangs up it turns red. It's a small bug but it's rather frustrating. And also, before the set up was call, video call, message. On the note 3 its video call, call, message which is a bit confusing. Please help. I'm new to this whole thing. Thanks in advance

Not with me any such issues. Never experience even
Sent from Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
If you like my post hit thanks .

I read a few other forums with the same issue so I figured it might be a setting option. Thanks for the quick reply. I called the store I got the phone from and they said they can't help...

This happened to me when I first got my note. It went away after I disabled T-Mobile lookout mobile security. It may have just been a coincidence though.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and sadly the problem still occurs. I called Samsung and they said it was a problem with the update that will be fixed soon. I asked all my friends and they said the problem occurred after the update. This is what happens when you live in a non civilised country...

I blame Samsung and their stupid Touchwiz UI. I got 4.4 on November 25th on my Nexus and 4.4.2 a week later. Yet here we are on near $800 phones and we don't even have 4.4 yet. Bunch of baloney. Might be getting a Nexus 6 instead of a Note 4 if they keep this up.

I agree, simplest thing they could do is give us a non buggy phone after spending that kind of money. Well, hopefully the new update will fix this issue. Does anyones screen keep flickering on and off? The lights keep dimming on its own. Checked all the options and everything is off. Seems like the new update is needed today before tomorrow

I thankfully don't have this problem. Chrome always opens to a totally black page when I click it from the dock, then as soon as I go to scroll, the page will appear. Nothing going on with the actual screen brightness though.

When the phone is changing brightness that's because of the hardware. If your phone is really working hard on something it will dim the display to get extra power for the hardware. Don't have brightness on max if you would like to avoid this. It's a supersmart solution by Samsung.

[Q] can't be heard

Well,just this week nobody can hear me when I make calls or they call me.
I've had my phone work perfect since September 2nd when I bought from Verizon.
It runs 4.4.4 totally stock. Tried clearing out the microphone port and only helped a tad.
Is there a way to fix it without a return exchange?

I would take it back, mine has been flawless since I got it shortly after the release date.

I was thinking about that. But maybe a factory reset would help

Go exchamge it. My first S5 (this is my third) had a microphone issue where my voice was muffled and hardly audible. Exchanged it and never looked back.

Lol yeah... Same here. They didn't believe me but I was within my 14 days so they swapped it with a new one. My second S5 had a black speck right in the middle of the display.. Like a peice of bark under the digitizer. 3rd times the charm lol
Good luck!:good:

You said U R running totally stock. What's the pain of a hard reset? Backup appz and it's a snap to restore phone to pre-wipe state. I have odined back to stock, gone through the whole process to root again and restore everything a couple of times now. If anything, that would be considered a pain but it really ain't chit ...
You can be sure that's prolly the first thing the rep is gonna try in the store before giving you a new phone.

If there is a problem might be best to go through Samsung for a repair instead of Verizon to just get a refurbished device. That's what I'd do.

Before you reset/return...take your battery out for 10 min. or so...and then restart your device...maybe the battery voltage or calibration is causing the speaker interference...it's worth a shot.

I did notice its been getting rocket hot a couple of times this week.
I haven't made any calls or received any since I factory reset it 2 days ago. Maybe it works again, I'll try tomorrow than go to Verizon

Well I think it was the battery. The microphone seems to work now. Did 3 voice recordings. All of them came out crystal clear with and without background noise.

Good to hear...it wouldn't hurt to purchase a new charger too.

I'm gonna hang on to the charger, its the first offical charger I've had in awhile. My DINC, nexus and gs3 all burned through their real charger oddly quick. I think its the weather where I'm from its been 111°-120°f for all of September

Weird Problem on my LG G2

(Seriously man, I can't post a link!)
www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=ux-YzGq-vSA
(phew... that was a huge hassle)
That should give you an idea on my somewhat weird and strange problem on my LG G2.
So, I have had my G2 since 2014, has worked surprisingly very well with very very little problems. But just recently I upgraded to Lolipop, was fine for a day or so and this problem suddenly appears. Initially, I was checking my phone and browse the internet, as usual, then I was surprised that my screen moved and jumped like crazy (exactly shown in the video). I was first baffled with this and wondering "what the hell is wrong?". Alright, so I soft reset my phone straight away after that and... Still the same problem. From that time I had been thinking that this could be a serious problem.
The problem started yesterday and is still there even now (with smaller frequency), now I want this to be fixed and I don't know where should I begin. I don't think it's the update that caused this because it was fine for a day or so and no one else got this problem (after updating). I am seeking for your help, anyone?

Sorry, but I don't think so. I have never got this problem before, the phone's touchscreen isn't behaving erratically at all. It also have been updated to KitKat from Jelly bean before and there is no similar problem whatsoever. Works 100% fine. And I can tell you that my phone was new, not refurbished... Well, it may be but if I got the phone from a retailer as 'new' then the chances of my phone being refurbished is very very low. There is still a possibility though, how can I check this without doing difficult works? Thanks

i just watched video. it seems like your screen maybe damaged or if it has ribbon cable. maybe remove it and clean it or maybe loose.. just as suggestion.. not sure what could be.

I had this problem since 1 year ago too. until now the screen is still jumping but at a low rate unless i watch video or play game than it will jump slightly more often. Any update after you bring it to the service centre?

Sorry for the stupidly long update, I have only just given the phone to LG on Wednesday. I'll update this thread when I get the phone back.

Got it fixed early last month. Sorry for the late update.
