Annoying clicking sound!

Hello,
so I'm with my 3th GNex now! with the 1st one the USB Port suddently stopped working properly. The 2nd one had a flawed display (had it for only 3 days but did notice the same problem with my 3th one)
My 3th one is okay but there is one problem: After 3 secs of any sound being played I can here a clicking/poppping sound coming from my speaker. This is very annoying when I've the normal Touchsounds on (I disabled them because of this...)
So I searched on google a bit and many users seem to have the same problem ( http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22307 ).
It seems to be unclear if this is a hard- or software issue.
So I wanted to ask you guys do you have this issue aswell? Is there a fix for this? Hard- or software issue, what do you think? Should I again exchange my phone for a new one risking it to have a even louder clicking sound?!

I had this same issue and I can safely say its software related. If you flash Francos latest kernel he has this issue fixed. If your unrooted I'm not too sure what options you might have (apart from exchanging the device again?).

I read about the fix on francos kernel....the problem though is, that I already use his kernel...last version r110...the fix doesn't work for my phone

Weird. I don't use his nightlies, have you tried M2?

m2 doesnt even have the fix.

What's your software version? I'm on stock 4.0.2 and have no issues.

are you sure you dont have it? play any sound in a quiet room and listen closely. i only noticed it after reading about it and checking for it... shouldnt have done that. and the volume seems to vary from day to day

Nope didn't have it. Played some music tracks and listened to the touch sounds. Didn't got any clicking sounds after that.

This has been discussed at length here:

Keep in mind that this happens on many devices. For the people who say they don't hear it, perhaps they don't know what to listen for or perhaps they are just lucky and their particular device isn't affected by the problem.

If that's actually the case then it must have been fixed in CM9 as I definitely had this issue.

Headphones cause Desire Z to Freeze

Hi guys, I have a strange problem and I couldn't find any Qs and As to it in the forum so I thought I'd post it up and see if someone can help me figure this problem out.
I was running EliteMod and out of nowhere this problem arose.
Whenever I put in my headset the phone would become unresponsive/frozen, and on the odd occasion it would work, but after a few minutes would randomly restart.
I thought it may have been the rom so I flashed another.
I'm now running Cyanogenmod 9 ICS beta 10 and the problem is still apparent.
I'm at a loss of what it could be.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
Edit:
I should add that when I reflashed Cyanogenmod 9, I put the headphones right at the start when setting up a fresh google account on startup, still the same result. Which is why it has me so confused. It came up at random, and a fresh flash won't get rid of it.

I had this same problem for two different reasons with two different phones.
The first time, which seems unlikely for you, was a problem with DSP Manager that comes with CM9 causing my phone to crash and restart.
The second is manufacturer error. The phone has a titanium case, and due to some errors in assembly, when I would plug in headphones, the system would freeze and restart. Because I still had warranty, I had it replaced and the problem disappeared.
If you have a multimeter there are ways to check for a short, but I'm not sure if you are familiar with this.
Hope this helps!

Ahh I see.
I guess that would make the most sense... a hardware fault.
I'm out of warranty so I guess no more music via this phone.
Thanks for the advice

If you still want to try and find a solution, get some electrical tape (or another strong insulating tape) and cut off a thin strip lengthwise (about 0.8-1cm width x 3-4 cm length) and tape it to the top of the headphone plug on your headphones so that it blocks any contact with the titanium.

I use a pair of Bluetooth headphones and a Bluetooth-enabled car radio. But alas, if you care a lot about your sound quality, then Bluetooth certainly is *not* the way to go.
But if you care that much about audio quality, you would have a dedicated device which uses all it's processing power for playback, right?

It's always done this, even when i was on a stock rom. does your phone make this sound also..?

My phone does not make this sound. That is very weird. It is nit motion related.

No it doesn't. I thought it was the refresh issues. What apps does it do it on??
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

it will do it on home screen or any screen as long as the screen is turned on and the phone shakes it will make that sound.. i just went through all the audio folders under system media and can't find that sound any where..

It has to be with one of your settings options you use if it also did it in the stock rom then

Thats awesome...your unique. You are the lucky recipient of Samsung's million'th GS3 don't ever try to stop it

I'm having exactly the same problem, except I have an HTC Desire HD and it only started about a week ago. Have gone through all my files on my phone and can't find the sound anywhere, really starting to annoy me as well. Given the problem seems to be across manufacturers I am guessing it must be an app or something that has a bug. PM me if you want to compare what apps are on our phones and see if we can narrow down what might be causing it.

So, i got some good advise from one of the developers of the rom im using. his suggestion was to not install any of the samsung apps that come pre loaded on the phone. so i reflashed the rom i was using and chose not to install any of the samsung apps and guess what? it stopped. no more annoying sounds when im walking down the hall at work. but like you were suggesting it has to be app related but i couldn't for the life of me pinpoint which one it was. hopefully that will help you a little and give you some direction.

[Q] Microphone suddenly not working?

Hi guys,
Tried to make a call the other morning, and now my microphone doesn't work. It's a 6502. When I try the service menu checks, the front mic doesn't respond, the secondary mic does. Finally, when I try to use something like Voice Search, it appears to not respond for a few seconds, then at the last moment it does (but can't recognize anything), sort of like the automatic gain control is ramping way up.
Hardware issue? Any possibility it's software before I go buy a new microphone section?
I did a total wipe and tried doomlord kernel, then loaded the eXistenZ ROM, no change.

It doesn't seems normal. Have your mobile fell into the water, or have you used the "blow to unlock" app, perhaps?

I don't think mine's been in any contact with water and no I don't use any app that would abuse the mic like that. I've ordered a replacement mic section from eBay, I'll install that and see if it works. I found one example where the repair notes from sony indicated it was indeed a hardware problem.

I don't think Sony Canada is too likely to fix my European 6502 that I have no proof of purchase of. Am I wrong?

This has happened to me as well since Sunday. Nobody could hear me on a call. I was only heard a little when using the speaker, or using a headset. I've made a factory reset and disabled the noise reduction and now people can hear me but very very low ... ! Will try installing another rom or making a recovery trough PC Companion to see if it helps.

Ok guys, I replaced my microphone component with a part from eBay and it fixed the problem. Definitely a hardware issue in my case.

They would not fix it for free because it's in the wrong region. Mine is a C6502 which they don't support over here.

Xperia M touchscreen stops responding randomly

Hi, Im new to the forum but used roms for another device in the past.
I wasnt able to find information regarding to this trough days, my phone touchscreen stops working randomly on stock rom [15.1.c.1.17], have anyone had this problem? Is it sw or hw related?
Thanks, phone is awesome when the ts works but this is driving me crazy... thanks

If you haven't modify the software then it must be hardware related.
What modifications did you do? Did it have the problem from the start(when you bought it)?

If it doesn't happen under specific conditions (for instance, while playing the game, or during the call), it is most likely hardware related, my best bet is that screen digitizer is either faulty or not connected properly to the motherboard. Have you dropped/spilled something on your phone? If not, you should return your phone for a warranty repair.

Its randomly occuring, its fixed after reboot or it will work itself again after a while, sometimes a couple of minutes others a couple hours, phone is new, bough on jan 17. Havent dropped it or spilled anything on it... problem is I updated from stock rom from the provider to an official by sony and dont have a backup of it :/.

Update to the newest version ends in 2.8 that's the newest one see if that helps

Loos like it might by the digitizer at fault I would get it into a Sony shop for them to check it
