For the last two days I have experienced a faint ringing noise coming from my ear piece. The ring sounds like the phone is ringing but there is nothing that is running or any notifications. I experienced this once on my HTC evo LTE on sprint when I was still with them. The only way to get the noise to stop is to either reset the phone or make a call. It happens at random times. I have searched the Web for answers but got nothing. Anyone experiencing this or know of a fix?

Ha this could be an explanation, but I have read where other HTC ones on Verizon are experiencing this. I also had the one on sprint and never had this problem.

I experienced the same thing sans ear piece a couple of weeks back. A reset was the only thing I could find to get rid of it for me and it hasn't seemed to come back. I was riding passenger in an unfamiliar car about a week after I had just started using my one and took a good 15 minutes trying to hunt down the sound haha.

I had the exact thing happen to me a couple of nights ago. I thought maybe it was caused from being on the charger. I had to restart the phone to get it to stop and haven't heard it since.
Check that the roaming notification is turned off and also check for data notifications. Fixed mine.

I have this problem at least once a day while at work. I've talked to Verizon and HTC over this and each time they act like they've never heard of this problem. It looks like we have narrowed it down to low signal and either trying to connect to a certain band or switching between bands. You can get the ringing to stop by switching your phone to gsm only. I have the app LTE on/off and it has been said that disabling EvDo utilizing only LTE/CDMA resolves the problem. That basically disables your 3G coverage. I will be testing it out this upcoming week.
My one did this when I got a robo call. When I answered the ringing started

Me too + solution
Mine does this too (or at least I believe it's the same thing) seemingly at random. My simple fix is to place a phone call, even to just voicemail, and it goes away right away.
It also must be hardware-related because it would even ring faintly for like 10 seconds after I turned off my One completely. It would then immediately startup when I pressed the power button even without holding it to turn the phone back one.
As a funny side note, I literally spent nearly an hour searching for the noise in my house and wondering why it seemed to be coming from every direction and following me
Only happened to me once though since I've gotten the phone.

If you didn't have fastboot turned off when you restarted the ringing won't stop, your phone doesn't fully shut down on a restart with fastboot enabled.
Took mine back to Verizon and I was outside of my 14 days but they still gave me a brand new one. Went through about three of them getting one without gaps and a good camera. Woke of this morning and this one was ringing too. I am in low service area part of my house where I sleep.

I just got off the phone with HTC and they have started tracking this problem. They asked for the location that it occurs, the MEID #, software version, and baseband #. I would advice everyone who has the problem to call HTC and report it. The more people who call to complain may speed up the resolution to this problem.
if you search for this issue with the DNA it happened with that also.
I reported it on the 3rd day the phone was out. I was driving and using it for Navagation, Pandora, and making a call (My phone didn't like me for a while when I was testing its limits) and it started making the beeping noise.
I agree it appears to either be a low service area (Since I was driving cross country) or the other thing DNA users said is it may be the internal battery temp warning, as mine was blazing hot (Obviously)
The annoying thing about this ringing is that it goes through bluetooth audio. so within pandora you could hear the ringing. A phone call didn't solve it for me. I had to turn off fast boot and shut down for 5 minutes and boot back up.
I'm thinking it has to do with low signal or switch between bands. Everytime it happens I am in the same part of my house where I fluctuate from 3g to 1x to no signal without even moving. My phone was not even being used any of the times it Happened, so I'm not thinking it is a temp issue

that wouldn't surprise me. I am very disappointed with the reception of this phone. I've had sms failures, and dropped calls. Signal seems worse than my note 2. My rezound and kids dna's work great at my house, so this is disappointing. My only guess is that the aluminum body is blocking the antenna.
Bought this on edge and am past my 14 days. Wonder if they would swap for the droid ultra.

HTC is aware of the problem
It's happened to me 3 times in the few weeks I've owned the phone. Spoke with Verizon & they spoke with HTC and told me that they are aware of the issue and looking into a fix. Who knows how long that'll take. For now we're stuck rebooting. Not necessarily a bad thing to reboot every once in a while, tho it'd be nice it I could pick when that time is.....
I can also verify that fiddling with the roaming options doesn't help.
Sure would be nice to be able to install some custom ROMs on this thing. I bet that'd fix it.....If it weren't for my unlimited data plan and the network coverage, I'd be with a carrier that didn't lock **** down so hard.

I've ran into it twice. Happened when I was sleeping once and I woke up and went insane trying to find it. I then figured out it was my phone. Weirdest part about it was the fact that it "Pulsed" so it was hard to find.

I have been using the touch pro 2 (tmobile) for 2 months, ive never dropped my phone and i have no damage to it, for some reason no one can hear me on my phone calls, its lie the microphone is going bad.

I had hte same issue last week wiht my Tilt 2
I had the same problem last week with my ATT Tilt 2. I had installed the 2 HTC updates and a call recorder (resco) program. Not sure if related, but shortly thereafter no one could hear me. I had to reboot the phone for my mic to work for the next call or two. then after a day or two my phone froze completely on a reboot. Pulled the battery and still frozen. Had to do a hard reset and reinstall and retweak ( a real pain in the ...). I did not reinstall the 2 HTC official updates or the call recording software. So far over the last 2 to 3 days the phone seems to work fine. Mine is about 2 months old. If it happens again I will be asking for a replacement from ATT. Sorry not a solution but I feel your pain.

Yes.. the phone did this with a 100% stock setup, no additional software installed. Though, my problem might be a little different: people could hear me for the first 10 seconds of the call, and then they couldn't. I could hear them plainly saying "are you there.. hello?" and I'd be on the other end yelling "yes, I can hear you" with no answer.. if they waited another 10-15 seconds without hanging up, they could hear me again. I tried every radio available and this problem occurred whether I had full signal or not. My Kaiser performed perfectly in the same areas.. so AT&T and I concluded it was defective phone and they overnighted me one that has worked perfectly.

wow that is very lame
I am thinking about sending this phone back.
The reason is that when I hold my phone like normal to make a call the signal is very low .. But in the same area if I hold the phone up and down with only two fingers at the bottom of the phone sides the signal will double or more... Like 18% to about 48%.
I am doing this using the open signal app on the market.
I have heard the radio is weak on the phone but I don't know if it I'd normal to this extent.
If anyone could test this out access tell me if it does or does not happen with their phone that would be great thanks.
Also .. I have no other issues with the screen and it seems like I am getting quadrants as high as people
that have added the universal shot while I haven't done anything to enhance it. Which is why i'm hesitant to send it back without knowing if this is common with this phone.

I'm not experiencing this issue either. If you have weak signal at your location, you can contact T-Mobile and ask if they can send you a signal boost device. To get it, it does require a 2 year contract. If you believe it is a signal problem, call tech support (1-877-296-9933) and ask if they can send you a replacement.
I don't see any kind of problem like that what you been having on your device may be it might be a bad Device ?
I had a slight signal problem with my first phone. The phone would drop calls even when it showed full coverage. After replacing the phone a week ago, everything has been fine. Just swap it out for another.
That's what I was afraid of ... Seems like everything else on this phone is great compared to what others have said about screen and quadrants as well. Would hate to give this up if it turns out to be common.
Thanks for the replies so far.

something you can try before you exchange the phone.
turn off NFC in settings
then power off the phone, take out the battery
hit the power button, to eat up the last of the juice
put battery back in, battery cover on
power the phone back up, and run some test for your signal just as you described on the 1st post
let us know of the results

I'm in your shoes. I drop calls every day at least 3-4 times. Doesn't matter where I'm located. I have full coverage (4 bars) and still drop calls.
I'm exchanging my phone in the morning for a new one. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem.

I may have to try this myself. Why would NFC cause the call signal to be sporadic?
I have similar issues. Just got the phone 2 weeks ago. I drop calls at least 5-6 times a day.
Even with full signal, I make a call, it drops maybe 20 seconds into the call. I call back, again it drops.
I even had a customer yell at me "can you call me back with a f%#$king phone that works?!"
very embarrassing.

How old is your Sim card? Hopefully you used the new one that came with it.
If you did use the new Sim card then call Tmobile and ask them to cancel the location and file a service request ... You will need to be on another phone though.

Are you within your 14 day return period? If so, take your phone back. My first GS2 did the exact same thing. I returned mine yesterday. The new one doesn't drop calls at all.
I just got off the phone with Verizon today and I'm getting my fourth gnex is anyone else having issues this abundantly? First it was two phones due to faulty screens then one dropped data every thirty seconds. Now I have a faulty charging port.

Another unsatisfied VZW user. You guys have it rough.

If I were you I'd buy the next one thru authorized Verizon's Witch Doctor.
I've been offered the razr Maxx or whatever the highest gig iPhone is from Verizon to fix my issues. I'm very satisfied. I love my gnex I've just had so many issues I was curious if its my magically horrible luck or what.

I'm on my 3rd Nexus as well. First one the DAC half burnt out so I wasn't getting any audio through the earpiece and mic stopped working. Second one had faulty charging. Would charge it full and after in plugging it would still think it was charging and the phone would wake the screen by itself every so often causing huge battery drain.
The one I have now has a small problem but its tolerable. The speaker doesn't turn off immediately. There about a second or two of air and then when it does turn off it make a small pop sound.

My VZW Gnex has been fine. Every so often mine will drop a data connection, but so does every other LTE device. It's by no means wide spread.
I've been very pleased with mine so far. I'm glad to hear that Verizon is doing a good job of giving replacements to people with issues.
I have had charging issues where it thinks it is connected to charger, and keeped turning on the screen when idle. I also have problem with my headphone plug, where it sometimes thinks I have connected headphones which leads to no sound in the earspeaker and microphone turned off.
In addition I now have problems with sound only coming from one of the headphones when connected.
All this on the same phone, never returned it. Samsung QA really sucks...
Yea my charging issue is its just not charging 100% of the time. I have to do the BS bending the cord to the perfect spot

I'm thinking pure coincidence unless VZW phones are made with different hardware and by someone else.

Clearly hardware issue if you've tried multiple SIMs.
Mine doesn't work. I was playing about 2 hours, locked it, went to see a friend, and when I took the mobile again, it was on "Google" logo, and never again passed from there. No Roms, no root, now I'm waiting Vodafone brings me a new one (Only 1 week old)
Well so much for great customer support. I called to get the phone sent and then they told me I could choose to receive a brand new phone in store. One guy flat out lied to me and told me that no stores within 50 miles had the phone then they had me on the phone for six hours before someone says we can only send a refurb so take it or dont. Horrible service yesterday so beyond less than pleased.

I'm having an issue while talking on my phone where in the middle of talking the sound cuts out usually in between peoples sentences. So when they stop for a second or two I think they are dome talking and then all of a sudden their voice comes back in the middle of a sentence.
I have tried nearly all ROMs for our device and the issue is present on all of them. I have tried all forms of factory resets and Odin back to stock.
It seems that my signal is very inconsistent. I can have full service and not move the phone an inch and drop to 1 bar then back to 3 then lose service and get it back all in a minute.
It doesn't matter which modem I use. All of them have the same issue for me.
WiFi does the same thing depending on how I hold the phone. I typically sit within 5 feet of my router and can watch my signal change.
Any help would be great.
Even though I love my s3 I can't deal with this since I need my phone for work and personal reasons. Just getting fed up and thinking about dumping it if I can't fix it.

My phone has developed a problem with vibrate.
I get no vibration from it at all. However, if I install an app that produces a constant vibration and set it off, nothing happens unless I smack the phone into my hand, at which point it will vibrate very weakly and gradually decrease in intensity over the course of about 3 seconds at which point it stops entirely again. Feels like how it would if the battery was dying.
Is this a duff motor or is there something else that I can check? The phone is about as hacked as they come so I don't really have a leg to stand on warranty-wise (bootloader was done thru htcdev) so it's looking like I'm gonna have to get the spudger out

Run the HTC Function Test and check if it runs in there.
*#*#3424#*#* Vibrator Test should be at the right(bottom of list)
Sorry I probably should have mentioned that I try that. Similar results. If I run it, nothing happens. If I run it and simultaneously smack the phone with my hand, I get a very short, weak burst of vibration.

Yeah then it's probably a hardware issue Thought that maybe if it ran in there then we could look towards settings etc but if it doesn't run in there either then it must be hardware related.
I just had to send my device to HTC to get it fixed for this exact same reason.
Since I'm S-OFF, I just masked my HBOOT to appear S-ON and they fixed it no problem.

Quite a few postson this very forum about vibration problems, in fact....
i had the same problem..
my smartphone has been without vibration for 3 weeks.
I installed "vibrate plus" for try the vibration but not working or sometimes vibrated at very very low intensity.
I installed z-test device to test if it was a hardware problem but the engine vibration was ok.
one day, "playing" with no frills cpu control, I changed the processor frequency at start increasing it.
From that day he returned to work perfectly.
Try to do a test by increasing the frequencies of processors, maybe back to work as well for you.
I hope that my was not just luck, and help you.
Let me know.
PS.
changing the frequency of the processor, I also fix the bug sound.

Mine stopped working the 25th of November.
Today, just a few minutes ago, it randomly buzzed for the first time since then. I tried making it happen again and it was not repeatable, so I guess it was just a death rattle. I had a brief glimmer of hope, though....
this is very strange isn't it! Mine Is also doing this, seems to be after installing lollipop, even bought a new motor and replaced and still doesnt work! Im hoping it will kick back in to life at some point!
Mines gone and stopped working again. So frustrated. Again, if I whack it it works for a couple of seconds really weakly. I've always had HTC phones but after the camera lens and vibrate issues I honestly can't wait til I can get rid of this thing
