Youtube Ticking Sound - HTC One X

Hi,
I have 2 HOX, one for me and one for my girlfriend.
When she listen to YouTube she have weird "ticking" sound which drive us crazy.
ITs mainly while using the speaker.
I've searched and some people suggested restart, is that really that bad design by HTC ?

Yes this is a very well known issue unfortunately, also happens during listening to music too; speakers or aux-out to car.
Youtube is more likely however "cropping" while mp3 is during data state change from 3G to H, which does happen just all the time.
Really annoying.. One fella said that he got rid of it with JB update so I'm waiting. Otherwise, to service. its just not bearable

[Q] Motorola S9-HD problems..

Hi, I'm having issues with my brand new, just bought today Motorola S9HD bluetooth headphones. I am having three issues so far:
First Issue: The headphones seem to work with the Google Music player (stock, but newest version via market), but I cannot use seek controls, play/pause.
FIRST ISSUE SOLVED BY REMOVING WP7 MUSIC PLAYER AND ONLY HAVING STOCK ON THE DEVICE.
Second Issue: While I'm listening to music, I sometimes want to make a quick call. I assume with these I should be able to hit the call button, which goes to voice commands, then I say who I want to call, and boom, done. BUT! whenever the screen is off and I'm listening to music, then click the call button, it gives me three or so beeps but never quits playing music and never goes to voice commands. THE ANNOYING SOLUTION THAT I FOUND: When I turn on the screen, I am able to click the call button and go into voice commands, call whoever, etc.
SECOND ISSUE NOT SOLVED EVEN AFTER SWITCHING TO STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER.
Third Issue: For some reason, I will get a random space (0.5 seconds to 1 second) randomly of no music, then it resumes. BUT sometimes it just all together stops playing music. I have left it for a couple minutes to see if it'll resume, but it doesn't. Then I look at the phone and it says it's still working, and the only way to make it play music through the headphones again is to restart bluetooth via the phone.
THIRD ISSUE POSSIBLY SOLVED BY USING STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER INSTEAD OF WP7 MUSIC PLAYER. BUT SUGGESTIONS ARE STILL WELCOME.
Thanks for all your help!
2nd issue: did you tell it the first time what voice control you want to use? Like Vlingo, google voice, google search, etc.
3rd issue: no clue, mine does that too and it is annoying. I notice it gets worse if the battery is 2 or so hours without a charge.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try assigning the voice commands app.

muy issue with my Moto S(HD is that I continually have to re-pair every time I try to use them. anyone know why?
Regarding item #3, I think this is more related to the bluetooth stack on the Atrix crashing than it is related to the S9HDs. I don't have that problem with my S9HDs, but I routinely get it when paired to my car stereo. Probably happens once a week with my car stereo, whereas I've only seen it once in several months with my S9HDs. I'm hoping the bluetooth stack has been improved when we get gingerbread shortly.
I've a nokia BH503 BT headset ATM and never had those issues. It works with EVERY app on the phone, even the emulators, games and notifications sounds through the bluetooth headphones. I luv it.
Before my motorola atrix I used a Blackberry Storm + motorola S9HD BT headphones, and had exactly the same issues u report...
I have the S9HDs and I get pauses too. The thing that frustrates me is that it depends on where I have my phone. I have a jacket in wear when I bike ride that has a pocket on the inside. If I put the phone in there it constantly pauses. If I put my phone in my pants pocket it doesn't pause at all.
It seems like an easy solution, keep the phone in my pants pocket, but I wear workout type pants when riding and they are not deep pockets so I'm afraid the phone will fall out. It just doesn't make sense that the farther I put the phone from the headphones the better it works.
Sent from my MB860
I use these, and play music with PlayerPro............have no issues. Don't call often with the headphones, but have not had problems with them there either.
I routinely have my phone in my pants pocket while I walk around the office listening to music, and never lose my connection.
Not much help I know, but there are I guess some of us who don't experience bluetooth issues.
I installed playerpro, and I'm liking it so far.

S9 HD's reception is really bad. And I tell you cuz I had those. I mean, u canĀ“t use the phone on your pants' pocket without lil skips... Nokias' reception rocks, and the battery last longer.
The problem with the s9 hd cutting out is reception. I have been using this headset for about 2 years while riding my motorcycle, with three different phones. They all had the same problem. With phone in my front pants pocket the problem persists. With phone in my shirt pocket, or in a backpack behind me, it never cuts out.

Music Player Problems

hey guys, currently running 1.29 on my unbranded HOX.
Noticed earlier while listening to my music through the stock music player that the songs kept semi skipping for a couple of seconds and the music sounded very, how to put it, crackly and popping, has anyone else had this problem?

It's been posted a few times I believe its to do with beats.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah I have read about beats but I thought the problem being discussed was full songs skipping, also thought 1.28 was supposed to have fixed it, hopefully HTC can sort it out! I'm no audiophile but its damn annoying.
I have it to. First i thought that is was my headset now i read its the phone on 1.26 i never had probs
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
i had this too. the 1.29 update seems to finally have fixed it.
that or that i am now using ubermusic with beats enabled
Hello. 1st time posting, new Android user.
I have the very same problem and it seems to be getting worse. It's definitely to do with the phone adjusting network, as when it's in airplane mode it doesn't happen at all. As I travel on a train that goes along a coast line, in and out of tunnels - this is really getting to be annoying.
I'm using both DoubleTwist and the stock music player, happens with both EQ/Beats on or off.
I don't really want to buy another music player

But if ubermusic really solves the problem then I might look into it.
Also happens when watching vidoes inc. streaming video.
This really is a bit of a joke - "Authentic Sound" they said. So far it's about as authentic as an old walkman. I'm smitten with the phone in general, but this is unacceptable.
Maybe there's another fix. Perhaps a 3rd party app conflict? Any ideas?
1.29.401.11
I have this probelm as well, I thought it was my bluetooth headphones until I connected my wired headphones and the problem was still there - Poweramp is better than the stock player. Will try ubermusic tonight and see if that helps. The Galaxy nexus had this problem but was sorted with an update - hopefully HTC will do so too - quickly.
I am on 1.29...11 by the way.

remember android has a 15 minute period in which you can get a refund for an app - if it doesn't work open the play store for ubermusic and the buy button should have changed to a refund button.
(ubermusic is also skinnable, i didn't like the default but the ics style one is nice)

beats won't be "authentic sound" - music with no EQ applied will be the most authentic. but i get the point!

Exactly, it seems to be not just the network coverage, but any notification coming while the music is on.
Happens to me while traveling by subway, the network coverage is only in stations, not between them, and the music starts skipping right away after leaving/before getting to the stations. Also if the network coverage is OK (outside) but you get a notification from calendar, music crackle the same way.
Contacted HTC support and they replied to me to get a replacement device from my reseller...
Bit of an update on this one.
I checked what apps were running in the background - to see if there was anything I could kill to see if it made a difference.
I noticed the widget for SeriesGuide was running, despite my not using the widget or the app for a long time (I had rebooted the phone on occasions since not using the app).
So I uninstalled that application, cleared all cache using ES Task Manager and shut down the phone (not reboot). I heard that a restart could just solve the issue anyway.
Hey presto, no cracking audio or video so far - (that's 3 1hour train journeys).
I'm not entirely 'blaming' SeriesGuide, it may have been anything - but it's worth checking whats using resources that isn't running - I'm sure many of you do this anyway.
One interesting thing is, I was browsing the net or something last night on the couch, just using the phone - when I noticed it started to make pretty audible pops for no reason - about 5, and then nothing. No problem on the train this morning though - so for now I'm happy.
Install poweramp and problem disappear
Inviato dal mio HTC One X
I tried Poweramp - despite not liking it, it didn't solve my problem.
Service repair
Sent my HTC One X to service repair for diagnostics and the final statement is - faulty motherboard. Anyone having issues with crackling music player either when the network signal is lost or when the notifications pop up, go and return your phone.
Well, since my last post explaining what I did to remove the crackle, I've had none at all.

[Q] Bluetooth Streaming Audio Issues?

I'm having issues with distortion/cracking/popping with my One in the car. When I'm streaming audio through Google Music or Pandora, there is noticeable distortion whether Beats is on or off.
I previously had an S3 and that worked fine. This morning I paired my work iPhone to the car and was able to play from the on device music without any distortion. Next up I'm going to try an aux cable to see if it's a Bluetooth or phone issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience.
I noticed major hissing with the beats EQ on. Turned it off and I don't hear it anymore.

Hmm, interesting. I'm assuming you're on the stock ROM?
Also, you said you still get the distortion even with Beats disabled, so do you think it's still Beats related?

Using Google Play Music in a 2013 Camaro and I've got no audio issues.
I just purchased the phone, but slacker worker flawlessly. Have not had a chance to try Pandora or other music apps yet.
Rush hour traffic this morning allowed me to do some additional testing. I found that Play Music is distorted with/without Beats and also regardless of how loud I have the Bluetooth output volume set. I don't have any full songs on the phone, so I opened the generic Music app and played back some of my ringtones. None of them were distorted coming over the radio, so I'm further puzzled about why Play Music would have such an issue.
I'm going to try Pandora on the way home to see if that is affected as well.
Another update: Pandora works great. Play Music is toying with me...

I've tried it as low as 50% on the volume bar. I'm thinking that the interference has to be with Play Music, Beats, and my car's amp. Or some combination of the two since my S3 did not have the issue, and my work iPhone plays just fine.

It's a [decent] stock system, so I'll have to check around for that info.
So now that I finally managed to phrase it correctly, there are a lot of other people reporting the same issue, and it appears to affect Sense ROMs due to the factory settings for the Bluetooth stack. AOSP does not seem to be affected.
https://www.google.com/search?num=20&q=htc+one+bluetooth+audio+distortion
I just got my HTC One from Verizon yesterday and noticed a horrible sound quality when streaming music through Bluetooth. I'm streaming to LG CM4530 stereo system. The distortion is just unbearable during high pitches. The problem persists regardless the volume in both the phone and stereo, the app used (tried Pandora and Play Music), turning Beats Audio off or even cancelling the EQ on the stereo system. I'm convinced that it's not the app because I just replaced my old and slow Droid 2 Global loaded with 2.3.4 Gingerbread and never had any problems with A2DP sound distortion. (Yes, ironic.)
Many point that the problem is on the stock HTC ROM, but I haven't hear of any fix so far. Any suggestion?
Sorry to revive an old thread, but have other users with the sound-over-bluetooth distortion issue found any way of solving it other than flashing an AOSP ROM?

[Q] Crackling/Popping sound coming from my galaxy tab pro's speaker.HELP!

So i bought my wife a tablet for school. However we keep hearing this crackling sound/popping sound coming from the speaker when playing youtube videos, playing games such as jungle heat. It is really annoying because when we are watching videos we can hear the sound. If anyone could help us, I really appreciate it. This is the 3rd time we exchange this device but the result is still the same. I dont know if its just me. Thank You!
Can you post some music or a movie from youtube where you ARE sure you hear a lot of crackling? Just so we can check it out ourselves?
I have yet to experience this at all. It is weird if you have had that issue on 3 devices now. Do you have bass boosts or equalizer on?

I can make a video but like i said you wont be ablet to hear it. Its just a random popping sound coming from the speaker. If i record it, you wont be able to hear it because the sound of the game.

If it is a hardware issue then Samsung should repair it if it is within the year warranty. Best buy should cover it if it is pretty new as well.
Are you running stock System? Have you checked to make sure you are up to date? Install Kies3 on your computer and see if it finds any updates.

I don't hear any popping or crackling sounds from my tab pro 8.4 I have tested with its internal Speakers, The Headphone jack, and using a bluetooth headset / headphones.
Does it have this problem when you plugin headphones or is it only the speakers? if it does it on all audio outputs then its most likely some kind of interference happening first try the headphone jack which is analog like the speakers.., bluetooth is digital with a2dp so it probably won't happen on that (though this could also be a temporary solution to use bluetooth external speaker or headphones)-
If it is interference then you need to find the source and hope it is coming from your own house , best way to find interference is to either unplug everything you can find or go to the house circuit breaker box and switch off the main switch this will turn off all electric in your house then use the tablet and play back a video /audio you have saved to the internal memory and see if it still happens.
Many people have this problem (including me). Any time the app you are using has something that emits sounds (even if you have muted your sound), you can hear crackling based on how heavy the CPU is working. It is most likely interference coming from the CPU. Not much anyone can do about it, except for Samsung. It would probably need a rework of the components though, that's why a simple replacement of the speakers will most likely not work. As soon as you put something in your 3.5mm jack though, the crackling should stop. (Most likely because the speakers get turned off physically instead of just being digitally muted) So really, the best we can hope for is we can find someone who may be able to create an app that emulates the headphone jack being used whenever the sound is muted. At least the crackling stops when the sound is muted then.

Bluetooth music stutter

I've had some stutter with music playback through my bluetooth speakers. I have 3 and it happens with all of them. I have a subscription to Spotify and noticed it there. I tried Play Music and it stuttered too. I put a few albums on the phone to see if that made a difference but it didn't. It's not bad, just here and there but enough of a problem that I'm not going to put up with it. I did a reset but that didn't help. If it's a bad phone, I'll return it. I would think if others have had a problem I'd see someone commenting on it. Has anyone listened to music via bluetooth and had either an occasional stutter or a smooth experience? I've used the speakers with my Moto X and they've been good so I know they are ok. I appreciate any comments. I love the phone but need my BT tunes.
I've never used Bluetooth and have not had an issue here or there. It happens with every device out there. It comes with the territory of using Bluetooth.

I have to disagree, my xperia z3 was awful for this. So far I have not had any issues with my Pixel XL and I use it for my 1 hour commute twice a day aswell sporadically throughout the evenings/weekend. Could range be an issue for you? or perhaps a crowded 2.4GHz band?
I have the same issue. I just assumed it was the crappy headphones I use. It happened on the 6p I had. Seems it happens mostly when I put my hand on the glass window like I'm causing interference

Thanks for the reply, my phone is a few feet from the speaker and there is a stutter every few minutes. I'm at home, not a lot of network traffic. Apparently not a problem with others judging by the lack of comments. Thanks again.
If you have any xmas lights or similar (we have decorative LEDs) close to your speakers or between your phone and the speakers these can have an affect. I had to move my WiFi hub last Christmas as the Xmas tree was causing havoc!

Listening to music on BT headphones.
I've got a Huawei watch attached over BT. As long as I don't add a 3rd device playback is fine for me.
If I add a 3rd device, typically either a Mac or PC (e.g. Surface) then every 30 seconds or so there will be a stutter. Even though those devices aren't sending audio, there is enough chatter to cause an issue.
Yep - BT audio skips with my BT headset and 3 different BT speakers. All of these BT devices worked perfectly with previous phones, and I listen to music quite a bit, so it's truly a accurate comparison.
I have contacted Google and they have only suggested the most obvious things - none of which had any affect. Tossing cache, tossing all pairing and re-pairing. Latest was a Factory Data Reset and I just don't have the time for that now. Other Pixel owners report that same BT issues - some with pairing (which I don't have) and skipping/dropping signal.
I've found that 2 of the 3 speakers I have stutter, the ue seems to be OK. My son's Pixel had the same issue so it's not a bad phone. I guess I need to decide if I'm going to put up with it or not.
A cheap chromecast audio would fix this for you
I've noticed similar issue. Bluetooth stuttering. S7 never did it. Pixel xl does. Reboot phone fixes it for a while.
Might be Spotify memory leak. Not tested if Google Play also does it but will test that.
Same issue here with the bluetooth in my car
I have noticed the same problem a couple times, I cannot pin it down. I though it was the speaker, which is a fairly cheap one. I will test it more and see if I can find a pattern?
I just think BT for Android needs to be worked on. Same behavior on Nexus devices.
As someone pointed out a while ago, turning off wifi seems to stop the stutter. That causes you to keep an eye on your data use though. Hoping for a fix.
I will try that but I stream music a lot, that would seem to run up a lot of data.

As someone pointed out a while ago, turning off wifi seems to stop the stutter. That causes you to keep an eye on your data use though. Hoping for a fix.

Yea, that's not a very good solution.
My old headphones were BT4.0. the new ones I just got are 4.1. so far my newer ones dont stutter when I cover the glass. I still get some stutter here and there but i think that's just interference.
I have not experienced any issues with stutter or connectivity when streaming to my Lexus GS and paired to my LG watch - while using GPS/Navigation/Waze. I came from the HTC 10 which had MAJOR issues with this combination.
