Weird sound when plugged in and listening through AUX

I was using pandora and google music last night in my car through the aux cable going into my pioneer car deck and it sounded great, even though i had a aux splitter going to my ipod and one going to the galaxy nexus.. but as soon as i plugged in my phone to my new Motorola P513 car charger (rated at 950a), a low but noticeable sound came through my speakers .. is this happening to anyone else? do you think this problem will be fixed when i buy the car dock with the 3 pins? thank you

it will be interference from the power circuit. It may improve with the proper 3 pin system but no most micro USB chargers have given me similar problems on multiple devices.

ok thanks, could this weird sound be a warning that the car charger is damaging my device at all?

No problems here. I have the at&t car charger. Possibility charger could be causing problems. Test on another phone to find out.

It's not damaging anything, it is normal to have noise from the cars electric system when listening on mp3's and charging at the same time.

As someone else said it isn't a problem it is just interference from the cars electrical system.

yeah i tried 2 chargers and 2 phones and both had problems, very very minimal on my Nexus One compared to my Galaxy Nexus tho but as soon as i unplugged the problems gone
another phone charger question though.. will my 950mA car charger cause problems for my battery chargering accessory that says DC 5.0V 1A, DC 5.0V 500mA. or does that not matter?

Same here... but,
You might notice, I sure did, that when the GPS is being used it causes it or makes it worse. If it is running (GPS) it will make noise and if it is the active screen/program, it is at its worst.
Definitely need a solution for this... mine is really bad and makes it unusable.

Static when using through car aux

Hey,
I've been experiencing an issue with the aux out in my car that only happens when I use the note other phones sound fine. There is static that sounds like wind blowing. Any ideas would be great I'm thinking of taking it to a car audio guy.

Are you charging your Note II at the same time? It could be alternator whine coming through the charging circuit. You can fix it by adding a ground loop isolator between the phone and auxiliary input.

I am not charging at the same time and it also happens when the engine is off.

Do you hear the interference with headphones too? If headphones also produce the noise and other phones connected to the car do not, then it might be a hardware problem with the jack.

No, headphones sound fine. It's really strange.

I have the same issue and believe it is due to the jack not being able to completely be inserted. look at the back cover when its plugged in and tell me if you see some of the plug exposed.. could be wrong but pisses me off as well

Prerty staight forqard then. Its not your phone causing it. Try swapping out the cable?

An update in the issue... I ordered a ground loop isolator from amazon and the problem disappeared seems to work fine it was only 10 bucks so not that big of a deal.

Anybody hearing hiss from their Stock Charger(s)?

When I plug in my charger into the outlet, I hear a faint hiss; when the charging completes, and when I remove the charger from the outlet, the hiss still persists for some 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

Mine doesn't, but my wife's htc sensation does & it drives me nuts. I have not figured out a fix either. Tried different cords, chargers, nothing.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I'm actually using a stock charger that I bought from ebay; I don't like opening the new charger that comes with the phone in the box unless it is absolutely necessary. Anyone else hear's the hiss? Almost every forum member posting at the N7100 XDA Forum confirms some form of hissing

I have same problem but only hear the hissing sound when car charging it while using the audio jack. Have you try differnt charger? Is there any magnetic static whatever may think cause your charging sound.

I haven't tried another charger; I do have a 0.7a Samsung Charger lying around somewhere. I will update once I find that charger.

I do t think its normal to make a sound like that. Hey if this problem cannot be fix and you try everything you could then, your only choice is using your insurance if you have one and get it fix. Good luck!

YES I get this problem too and when I notice it, I get really annoyed. I first noticed this about a week ago and I had trouble falling asleep because of it.

It's strange because I read everyone's comments in the N7100 forum on XDA, and they confirm that this is indeed normal because of higher amperage. I can hardly hear the hissing on my charger unless I put my ear next to it. Obviously, I would believe this is normal then. I have an HP laptop which comes with a travel adapter that hisses. As a matter of fact, I have two HP chargers, both do the same hiss, lol.
Also, I get the average current somewhere between 1200 and 1400 milli-amps, and occasionally, the Max amperage that shows on my charger is 1,800. I'm under the impression that the chargers don't provide consistent output. When the phone is switched off, I would believe that the max current is provided. Probably, nothing to worry about then. Though, there seems to be a lot hype over this. Samsung...

I actually have two stock Samsung chargers. They are both 2000 miliampers and they BOTH do that annoying noise. ((((((((

I've confirmed this is normal; the Samsung chargers are rated at 2 amperes; therefore, the hissing sound is present. HOWEVER, if your hissing is so loud that you can hear even from a few feet away, replace it at once, because its an indicator that the capacitors have either gone bad, or there is a wiring issue (similar to a bad circuit board, etc). Minimum hiss like what I'm facing is normal.
Now, coming to the amperage output, I don't get the full 2A current. Samsung is duping their customers. Shame on them. The current fluctuates; it would have been reasonable if Samsung listed a range instead of fixed # for the listed amperes on their stock chargers. I don't see anyone getting full current (even on the N7100 forum).

Something tells me its due to the charger being made in China but made for US... I mean even my electric razor hisses when plugged in lol

Well, if you go here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112811&page=5
The whole international community is experiencing the same thing like us. I don't think we are the only ones experiencing this.
Perhaps, 'cause it is Made in China.

Either I'm deaf or I just can't hear the hissing lol.

Obviously, some will say as what is mentioned below. Confirming with well over 20 forum members clearly confirms a hiss is present in all chargers. Whatever...

V-Moda M80's and Galaxy Nexus Compatibility?

Hello,
After doing some research I have decided on the V-Moda M80 headphones. They include two cables, one for android and one for iPhone, but through my research I have found that the cables may be incompatible with some devices.
So has anybody used the M80's with the Galaxy Nexus and what are your thoughts on them?
Did the cable/remote work as designed or did you have to reverse the cable and lose the remote functionality?
Thanks

Wow nobody owns the M80's I guess. Can anybody compare the headphone jack configuration on the Galaxy S2 vs.Galaxy Nexus?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I actually owned a pair of m-80's a couple of months ago and used them on my galaxy nexus just fine. I don't recall the iPod certified cable working at all, or maybe just the middle button, but the android single button cable works just fine. Just make sure you're getting those headphones if you really can tell the difference in them from some other lower priced ones. I decided they didn't warrant the price after I got them but some audiophiles can really tell a difference.

I have tried pairs that are very cheap and even very expensive and I could hear a difference compared to the headphones I'm using currently which I got free.
Thank you for confirming the cable works.
EDIT: While you had the M80's how did you find the comfort and isolation of them?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I wouldn't think the GNex would drive it that well.

I thought they were really comfortable but the noise isolation and leakage was pretty bad, but that's kind of what you'd expect from a set of on-ear headphones.

Was the isolation so bad that you couldn't use them in relatively noisy places like a plane or bus or a mall?

No they weren't that bad, but using them in a library isn't a good idea because they can get kind of loud

I've browsed these forums a bit over the years, but I wanted to post (my first I think?) and say that I got these headphones today, and I have to reverse the cable with my Note 2.
Bit late now, will elaborate tomorrow.

So, the one button cable works pretty good for me plugged in the correct direction, just so long as I keep the 45 degree plug facing to the right while looking at my phone. If I turn the plug so it faces to the front or back, or anything in between that isn't to the right, my right headphone cuts out. The mic works, the button works, but I have to babysit the plug to keep it facing to the right.
What has your experience been? If I reverse the cable, the headphones work great no matter how I turn them. I am trying to research a cable that works, but so far I've had no luck.
My set only came with the android and iphone cable, no standard no-button one like I've read other have received. Maybe I should send V-Moda an email, I've heard they are quite accommodating.

That's interesting regarding the cable, maybe your cable is defective, I have spun the jack while connected to my phone with $5 headphones and the audio didn't cut out. I still haven't ordered the M80's, I have been trying to research a bit more as the m80's have poor isolation/comfort based on reviews I've read and I need good comfort and decent isolation, so the m80's might not be the right fit for my usage.

I don't think that the cable is defective as it were, I've read of others having the same problem. Reversing the cable seems to solve it, but then I lose the mic. I am going to try cleaning the headphone jack and emailing V-Moda. I have been having some problems with the Samsung headphones, twisting the plug can cut the right side in and out, but not predictably like the V-Modas. Cheapo sets don't exhibit this behavior, I am thinking it is something to do with the microphone.
Regarding comfort and isolation, I find both to be sufficient. Outside noises don't bother me, but I do tend to listen loudish. Prolonged use has fatigued my ears a bit, but that was while I was wearing my glasses, which I only do at work. I've heard that the ear pads break in over the first week or so, I'll be better equipped to comment in the near future.
They sound great. If you can get them from somewhere with a liberal return policy, I'd suggest giving them a try.

Does the audio work correctly when you hold down the button on the remote? Regarding the comfort, I have read its either very good or its bad depending on your head size/shape. The other alternative I'm considering is the Monster DNA On-ears they are supposedly very similar in sound to the m80's but with a hint more bass but the DNA are quite a bit more comfortable.

Holding down the button on the remote brings up the Google voice search. Kinda handy. But not if I can't get both headphones working consistently.
I'm going to a high end audio store here locally today...they sell lots of expensive headphones. Maybe one of them will have an idea. I don't mind buying new cables, I just want them to work.

I would contact v-moda, I have heard they are very generous and even offered free cables to people who had issues with the included cables.

I have the v-moda crossfade LP's and i think they use the same cable but only the middle button on my cable works but on my brothers ipod all the controls work fine.

[Q] Charging sound?

I've noticed this on other Samsung Galaxy devices, like my old s3, s2, maybe even vibrant, but whenever I plug in the charger it makes a noise to let you know it's connected. On the Note 3 it just vibrates. Is there a way to turn on the sound?
Also, I've noticed how boxy the speaker sounds... coming from the HTC one lol.

anyone?

That's all mine does. ..I thought that was strange. ..

Mine does not have a sound nor a vibration. How do you turn this on?

Mine says "Charging" in a female British voice, and immediately turns off the screen. Using tasker to do that however.
Britsh voice comes from the iVOVA TTS package.

I noticed that too. Strange as the charger _ connection.ogg file is under system/media/ui
