Just got a Galaxy Nexus GSM version. I have very noticeable static with voice phone calls using a headset connected to the headphone jack. Has anyone else noticed this?
I can hear faint static with the bluetooth, speaker phone and standard phone speaker.
My nexus s sounds perfect with headset with calls.
Is this normal for galaxy nexus? Anyway to reduce and correct the problem? I did search but could not find anything expect folks complaining static when playing music. I have faint static with playing music but with calls it is very loud.
Thanks
Yes, suffering from the same problem here on both stock and 4.0.2. Not only phone calls, also during video / music playback. Static gone when screen off.
Tried with screen on and screen off - absolutely no change in static level with headset when making calls. Static is very low with music or bluetooth, I have to concentrate to hear it. If anyone else out there with a headset, could you try using a headset and check for static when making calls. Thanks.
I guess I will send this unit back before my return windows closes. Should I get another unit?
Coming from a samsung nexus s, this static is not acceptable for me. With the nexus s and voodoo sound control the audio quality is amazing. I was hoping for better with galaxy nexus.
Thanks

Hello,
We purchased a used GN the other day from someone on Craigslist. I checked the phone out (or I thought I did). Went through camera, speakphone, wifi, gps, no water damage and so on.
But after activation when using the internal headset we get a static noise that you hear through out the call and the other party does too. If you change to speakerphone all is clear and sounds great. Switch back to headset and the noise is there again. You can press mute and the other party no longer hears the static.
Is this a mic issue?
If you press mute the other party will no longer hear anything. It does sound like a front mic issue to me.
So a friend of mine has a Sprint Galaxy S3 running the latest official Jellybean 4.1.2 that the phone came installed with. The phone has issues with transmitting voice audio, specifically when WiFi is on. To elaborate:
-When talking on the phone with a headset plugged in, my friend's phone emits an intermittent buzzing noise that is audible to the person on the other end, but not her. The noise lasts for a moment, and then goes away. It sounds exactly the same every time it is heard, but happens at random times.
-Whenever using VoIP apps such as Skype/Google Hangouts with a headphone mic plugged in and WiFi on, an extremely loud static/crackling noise is heard by the person she is talking to. The moment WiFi is disabled, the crackling/static is gone, and the other person hears her clearly. Again, she does not hear any of this noise, the person she is talking to does.
-Unplugging the headset in both occasions and using the phone's mic nearly eliminates the amount of static heard. However, in VoIP apps, again, static is heard by the person she is talking to when she speaks, but is less noticeable than with the headset plugged in.
-In all instances, the static/buzz is gone when she disables WiFi and uses mobile data while talking on the phone or Skype/Hangouts.
I've tested this issue with her and the noise is similar to the rapid tapping of a Geiger counter. Is anyone familiar with this issue? Is there a fix? She returned the first phone for a second, and both have the problem. If there's no solution, she is highly considering returning the GS3 and seeking a different model. Thanks!

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I have the exact same problem. Did you try a different mic than the standard samsung one? You are the only person I've been able to find online even mentioning this issue =/
I know someone with the same issue on the SIII Neo in the UK. I do not know of any solution at all. Brand new phone. Odd for Samsung
Hi everyone,
2 weeks ago I retired my Galaxy S1 and upgraded to a P6. I love a lot about it, and now with the european P125 upgrade, the wifi connectivity issues seem to be resolved as well.
But one issue still seems to come up:
When I have headphones without a mic connected (in my case, Sennheiser HD-25-1), the call quality as perceived by the recipient is horrible when there is ambient noise present (for example in a bus).
So, whenever I listen to music and I receive a call - when I don't disconnect my headphones and use my P6 like usual, I hear the other person just fine, but he hears the ambient noise much much louder than usual.
When I disconnect the headphones, everything is back to normal.
This wasn't the case with my old SGS...
So I did a few experiments:
- Without ambient noise, the recipient doesn't notice much of a difference whether I use headphones or not
- With ambient noise (simulated by loud radio), when I don't use headphones, the other person hears me fine, much louder than the ambient.
- With ambient noise and connected headphones, my voice is as loud as the ambient noise, so the other person has big troubles understanding me
- Now, when I talk to the *top* of the P6 (right next to the USB port) into the mic that is used to filter out ambient noise during calling, my voice is *louder* than before - so at least that is a small workaround to that
So it seems to me, that when I connect headphones, the upper mic is used only, while without connected headphones, the lower mic is used as primary mic and the upper one is used just for filtering out ambient.
Anyway, it's doing something that I don't want it to do and now I wonder if I can change it
(By the way, I tried with 3 different headphones, doesn't make a difference).
I have a P6 that used to have B606 and now has B125 and it behaved the same for both software versions.
Soooo.. any clues?
regards,

Go to Settings/Sound/Dolby Digital Plus and uncheck it. See if that helps.
It's already unchecked... :/
I have noticed the same problem...
very annoying...

hi everyone, my lg g pro came briefly in contact of water, after quickly drying it, every thing was working normally as of before except during calls when i'm using headset, i hear a background static noise and i still hear the person at the other end but mixed with whistling and cracking, the thing is the static noise disappears when i use it normally without headset or when on speaker, also no noise when i listen to music or surfing the net though headset.
what i did i opened it, cleaned the inside including the motherboard with isopropyl, still the same problem.
please any help of any kind will be appreciated, as you all know the headset use is crucial and it's getting really annoying.
listening music with headphones (and probe with 3 headphones and hear the same noises in 3) connecting to a speaker and also those noises are heard .... and not is the song ... if I upload all volume seems to disappear noise interference.
the noise is heard at an average level, or little more
what is? anyone knows?
I have "lollipop" 5.0
thanks
What about in another geographical location
Is there also this problem as well?
Some of us had that problem on kitkat but it was resolved when Lollipop came out... You might have a faulty device if it is really loud the static
