Hi there. Just noticed with my HD7 that after its made a noise, say for example the keyboard click which i love by the way, my rear speaker has a hiss for about a second afterwards. Could someone else with a HD7 please hold their phone with their rear speaker to their ear and then get their phone to make a noise so that I can find out if it's my phone or a feature of the HD7?
To be honest the reason I'm interested in this is the speaker hiss that I'm hearing here I think might be related to the bluetooth audio quality issues I have, long shot I know.
Thanks
Confirmed, I hear the hiss too. I think it's the audio file for the click sound. After the click sound is made, the file continues playing for a few seconds.
Cheers for that.. Seems to happen when you pause music or anything else really. Ah well, first gen poor quality hardware I guess.. I knew I was gonna take the hit.
I thought this was standard on everything, it definitely happened on my last 2 android devices.

Yeah, it's not a big deal at all.
Yeah for sure not a big deal, would never notice it if I hadnt randomly had it up to my ear.. Like I say just grasping for reasons why the bluetooth audio might be a bit ropey. The same hiss was heard over a friends bluetooth headset, sorry cant remember the make (my parrot doesnt have the hiss but does have a crackle, go figure).
My Jabra Halo, and my car via a FIPO device both have the his over bluetooth, occasionaly stuttery audio, never crackles though

Anyone here tried this new Sony-Ericsson Bluetooth Stereo Headset? Comments? Reviews? Reviews on the web?
yeah I tried it and still am!!!!
I bought the hbh-ds220 about a week ago and have had nothing but trouble.
Is a little temperamental connecting to my TYTN II and it not really clear how the buttons are supposed to work with things like voice dial, redial etc. If you just want it to play and pause music then its just about acceptable. The volume control is a bit naff... you press and hold the play button and it cycles through loud, louder, loudest, quiet, quieter, quitest. There's no visible way to tell what volume level you are on though so its a bit guess work.
The headphones are really poor by Sony standards. They are supposed to be mega bass but have barely any bass response at all.
The worst thing though is the in-call sound quality. It sounds like the person on the other end is talking underwater.
I have looked round the net to find a fix but found none. I can't be the only person having this trouble.
I love Sony products and only buy Sony. I wish I'd never laid ears on this though.
If anyone has any suggestons to improve the sound quality then I'd be grateful.
I bought a DS220 the other day and love it! It paired great with my HTC Touch Dual and I listen to music and take calls etc.
I dumped the SE earphones though and use my own ones.

I spoke too soon!
I am having problems with the phone dropping the connection the the headset after calls. I have to turn the headset off and then on again to reestablish the connection after every call.
it's been a while, but hey, what the heck:
http://justanothermobilemonday.com/...-ericsson-hbh-ds220-stereo-bluetooth-headset/
you should try a new one like Nokia original, Jabra etc. I think these are better.
or you will have to take to care center.

I recently bought a Jabra 3030 for my Diamond. And it STINKS. I even went through two of them, thinking that the first was faulty/broken. Nope. They both had a loud background noise that ruined any type of sound quality, not to mention the electronic turn on/off of the bluetooth itself that poked a hole in your ear.
I replaced it with a DS-200 (similar to the DS-220, presumably) and its much, much better. The noise is far less and the turn on/off is barely noticable.
This is just my personal experience though, everyone else seem to praise the 3030 for its quality...

my HTC Touch HD can´t find it =/ I have buy HBH-DS220.
Hi all looked through the forum but can't see anyone else mentioning this.
When i have headphones pluggged into my Desire there is a noticeable hissing noise coming through them (I have a pair of fairly expensive Shure headphones) which seems to come on and off depending on whether the phone thinks it should be outputting noise. Anyone else noticed this? Was dead silent on my Iphone.
Anyway, as per the title above, when i am listening to music etc through the headphones in addition to the hiss i have just described i can hear the phone connecting to the network. Not sure how best to describe the sound sorry but it's like the one you get if you put your phone next to a speaker while you're making a call. It's not particularly loud but is extremely annoying. It's intermittent and seems to mainly occur when the phone is using GPRS or Edge.
It also occurs when i receive a call with my headphones plugged in.
Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone else test this by listening to music through headphones and browsing the web or similar?
I'm assuming it's down to poor magnetic shielding but want to see if it's just my phone or common to the Desire in general.
Cheers
No problems here using my Shure SE210 earphones. Whisper quiet using Meridian Player for both Videos and Music (FLAC).
Have you tried the earphones you get with the phone, or indeed other earphones? Just to try and isolate the problem...
I also have Shure SE210 and I rather don't use them with the Desire. The static level is just over the roof! What's more I also dislike the sound as a whole, it's tiny. I guess an equilizer could relieve this.

So has anyone else noticed this issue?
I use Shure SE210s too. But my point was they worked absolutely fine on my iPhone - this is why I believe the problem to be down to the phone hardware not the headphones. I can live with the slight static but the phone buzzing noises are unacceptable.
Hi,
I have the same issues (GPRS/EDGE noises). With any headphones I use, I can hear the phone accessing the data network. The problem is gone, when I'm on wifi. May this be related to custom ROMs and kernels? I really want to get this fixed
OK, I fixed it. Apparently I had the "only use 2G networks" option turned on! Now with 3G the issue is gone
Reviving an old thread here, but just wanted to say I have this problem with a pair of Sennheiser CX300's and Creative Aurvanas. Airplane mode doesnt help at all. As long as the phone is outputting sound, it's hissing. It lasts about four seconds after it has stopped playing sound. It is being retunred tomorrow, after HTC claimed it was not a known problem with the phone, and told me to try and return it.
The same earbuds work without a problem on a Nokia 5800 (Xpress Music "Tube") and an iPhone 3G. If this is a problem with all Desires, mine will be returned for my money back. You can't advertise a phone as a heavyweigth media phone with such a MAJOR flaw.

This hissing noize you talk about which is only 4 seconds long also happens on my iPod touch, so I don't think its a massive problem

Listening to tunes on desire with my sennheiser 555's and it sounds excellent...
Get a very slight click when WiFi connects.

The hissing noise is present all the time while the phone is producing sound AND four seconds after. So I would say it is a pretty big problem.
Hi there,
I didn't believe it at first, but the GSM / 3G radio on my Desire interferes with the headphones while I listen to music, to the degree that it is, well... unlistenable. I have to activate the Airplane Mode in order to listen to music, which I think is just preposterous. I've never had that problem with any other phone.
You know that annoying noise that cellphones can induce in stereo speakers, if the speakers are connected to an unearthed socket? That's what I hear in my headphones on the Desire.
Is this due to a unique fault in just my unit, or do any more of you hear this noise?
Cheers
I hear it only when the internet connection is active - and even then it is quite low (but still there).
So all I have to do is turn off internet connection and the problem is solved.
Hi i'm glad someone else has noticed this thought it was just me
here was my thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683024&highlight=shielding
Definitely seems like poor shielding to me. I can't believe nobody else has noticed it. Maybe because I use sound isolating headphones so it makes background noise quieter?
A very serious flaw for something I use as my main Mp3 player

Someone at your thread wrote "Apparently I had the 'only use 2G networks' option turned on! Now with 3G the issue is gone". I am actually on the countryside at the moment and unfortunately required to connect using GSM / Edge, perhaps that's what causing the noise and it will disappear on 3G? Either way, it shouldn't be there in the first place

Just under that option is the option to turn off mobile internet...try that instead, at least you still get phone calls and messages that way.
I just replied in the other topic. I have this problem withg several in.ears, and disabling internet or enabling airplane mode doesn't help at all. As long as the phone plays sound (and for four seconds afterwards - ie, as long as the "soundcard" in the phone is turned on) it makes a hissing sound, making it completely unfit for music and to some degree tv series/movies too.
edit: Guess I should mention that the volume is also too loud, there is NO way I can have it more than two or three steps from the bottom, and between the lowest step and "silence" (ie. only hissing) there is quite a jump in dB.
What product are you using? I've only noticed this on products of poor quality. Both my AKG and MW600 have no problems with it at all.
As I said in the other thread, I'm using a good quality closed headset and there is no hint of hiss.

I have the same problem with a pair of Creative Aurvana in-ears and a pair of Sennheiser CX300. While they are not the most expensive sets you can buy, they bot sound fine while used with other devices - ie. a Nokia 5800, an iPhone 3g and my old Creatove Zen Micro. It is most certapnly the Desire that is the problem.
I expect to hear noise wih low ompedance in-ears on cheap laptops and non-branded china players, but not on somathing claiming to be a great multimedia phone at a pricetag of $620 (unbranded in Norway).
This prolem most likely stems from bad intrnal isolation of the audio chip/wires/jack, and would ofc not be heard with a BT headset... As to your AKG, unless they are low impedance in-ears, whether you hear noise in them or not is equally uninteresting.
I would really like someone with a good pair of low impedance headphones and good hearing to say that their phone is NOT producing this white noise. My pal didn't think his did, but it sure does. If it is just faulty units, it means it can be fixed, so I don't have to spend a few months getting my money back and find another phone to buy.
Hey team,
Has anyone else noticed how terrible the on board DAC is? It is the loudest piece of audio equipment I have ever heard. Just noticed it and can't unnotice it. When I swapped back to my 4th Gen ipod touch it sounded utterly incredible in comparison. I'm getting noise, strange squealing in both ears at around 5000hz when music is playing? Any fix for this one? I read a few posts and edited the mixer.xml file but it just crapped out all sound. Definitely not my headphones or an impedance issue, I have tried with multiple headphones.
I'm running Fulmics 6.1.
The sound of the G3 DAC also lacks a whole ton of power, even when compared to other cell phones. Not sure whats going on there, the clarity of the mids and highs are rather compromised. I even occasionally hear bass distorting on some tracks (it's not the tracks or the headphones).

I don't know, if that's the issue you're trying to solve, but for me it helped a lot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...ying-music-t2804065/post59601465#post59601465
I use to think the same but with a unusual trick everything seems fine now.
If ur headphones have a detachable cable plug first the cable to the jack without the headphones n in the status bar u will see a cable icon instead of the headphone one, now connect the headphones to the other end of the cable, I know is unusual but sounds change terrific.
If u don't have a detachable headphones the next is plugin ur headphones, make a call, u need answered to the other side (I make call to my cellphone company ) detach the headphones n reconnect again during the call (remember u have to be answered) n now u can end the call. Again the noise n hiss sounds go away after this, but u Need to do this Everytime u reboot the phone.

Okay, that sounds a bit strange, but I will give it a go. If it works, I might make a Tasker profile, so that it happens immediately. Surely this is a software problem right? Are you running marshmallow or what?
Gave it a try but there is still the problem. It only really happens after playing a track or during music playing, there is quite a lot of white noise in the signal behind the music too. Not terrible, but it is very prominent when comparing to better sources.
Not sure what the problem is but I'm going to try a different fix.
Is anyone else getting an audio crackle when tapping the mic icon for voice typing? I remember this was fixed through software on my Pixel 2xl years back. It basically pops, sounds like it's clipping. VERY annoying.
Great...
Google still can't provide proper speaker and mic since Nexus 4. How many years has it been now they been providing worst audio and mic performance?

Did a factory reset to see. The microphone in google own messaging app didn't seem to crackle, but through Textra it did.
No crackle for me even on max volume.
What I did notice is that the stereo speaks are imbalanced in terms of volume. The selfie camera side speaker sounds way more "muted" than the charger side speaker.

Agreed. MAYBE the volume levels are the same on both sides, but the selfie side definitely SOUNDS different. I also dislike the way notifications sound. It sounds like it's coming from the back of the phone going away from me, making it sound like it's coming from a different phone a couple feet away from me.

Audio balance has always been an issue with Pixel phones, although they made a change to the series 5 which boosted the ear piece one was called adpative sound, maybe it works as well for 6

Have you actually got the phone? All I've seen you do is comment after comment about how rubbish it is but nothing from you directly?
If you hate it so much don't get one.
No crackle for me. I use the mic often and play podcasts through the speakers of the day. The speakers are good, clear and can get loud if ineed them to.
The popping/crackling sound is happening on my pixel 6 non-pro model. If sound is playing and I either type or move around to different screens this happens. Looks like I am returning it.
So far I've only noticed pixel 6 pro speakers crackling playing genshin impact, easily heard on the main menu, but so far only noticed it in that specific title. Not while playing music or other games. So I'm hoping it's software related and I don't have defective hardware.
No crackle so far, just rocken Music.

Can you do a video for us, showcasing when this happens exactly and what kind of noise gets created?
Too late, returned the phone and earbuds. Between this, the lousy fingerprint reader and the phone randomly calling people, I am done.

I dont get how people get so many issues with phones lol... I've never had problems with any of my phones and I've had many...
My FP works 100% of the time, it is just a bit slower than the rest, but even then, just barely. I have a S21 Ultra in front of me right now and after testing both, I can definitely say that the S21 Ultra is a bit faster, the Pixel one is actually more accurate. I would prefer to have it in the back like previous models.
Having said that, if I did have those issues you described I would return it too.
I feel like it's a software thing, honestly. Because when i first setup myh device before I downloaded all the updates, there wasn't any audtio crackle at high/max volume. After I downloaded the updates, it's there slightly.
I don't have crackling or distortion, but I'm getting a good deal of sibilance from both speakers. Here is a definition of sibilance.
Sibilance
I listen to a lot of YouTube podcasts and videos and this is driving me crazy. I wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem before I see about returning the phone. Adaptive sound and balance control makes no difference.
I have a 6 Pro and have noticed crackling from bottom speaker since purchase when turning speaker on during phone calls. For me I otherwise really like the phone. I will be doing a repair or exchange once more phones become available.
I got my replacement brand new 6 pro, and now this one has distorted and crackling sound from the earpiece speaker. When i press the middle part of the screen anywhere.
I have turned off the adaptive audio, and I can hear the balance over blutooth changing. With one headset when listening to a mono podcast, you can hear the audio balance shifting randomly around.
With another bluetooth headset (my hearing aids), the balance starts out biased to the right, but the longer you listen the more it drifts to the left. Stopping and starting the audio stream immediately corrects it.
What is going on -- I have had every OnePlus Pro model since the 6, never had any issue like this.
Anyone have anything similar and or no how to fix? It is so annoying....
