I just received my G3 (the European 855 version) today and wanted to listen to some music from Google Play Music All Access. There is a terrible hiss/crackling sound, especially in the left ear and it's with earphones that (still) sounds fine on my old SGS3. I've tried with 3 different pairs of earphones and it's the same with all of them.
Does anybody else got problems with hissing/crackling sounds from the G3?
I solved this myself - the problem is "only" there if I'm using ART, after going back to Dalvik the problem is gone again.
Dont have this problem with my D855. Not with v10a or e. Used this phone with headphones/speakers about 8h/day since release.
Im using ART.
Switching back to Dalvik didn't solve it After a reboot the sound is fine but after a while the hiss starts, especially in the left ear. Nobody else got this problem? I'm on v10e with a D855 32GB
UPDATE: I just connected my Fiio and with that to amplify the sound the hiss goes away but as soon as I remove the Fiio the hiss is back again.

it's a problem.
But it depends what kind of earphones i use, with my sennheiser MOMENTUM it's perfect.

That seems to point to an impedance issue. It is not in every phone because I use very low impedance IEMs and do not hear it. I have also read reports of it just going away on its own.
This is a kitkat bug that was uncovered last year.

That doesn't explain why some G3 owners got the problem and others don't as we're all on 4.4.2

Except that I have used a variety of different impedance earphones with mine and have never experienced any hiss. I think higher impedance can mask it if it is present but doesn't fix the root cause.
i dont have this problem..im using the earbuds that came with the s4
Hi, Is this problem solved in lolipop update?Thanks
I'm having this same problem with my D855 that I bought today.
It sounds like a loud hissing noise (like interference) and only seems to come out of the left ear piece, it's not noticeable when the music gets busy but during the quieter parts or where only one instrument is playing, it sounds horrible.
I've tried my Monster Turbine Pro Coppers and the bundled earphones, both produce the noise. It's also very apparent at different volume levels.
Updating from KitKat (4.4) to Lollipop (5..0) didn't help, as the problem is still there.
Looks like I'll be returning this phone already as I use my phone to listen to music a lot. It's a shame that such a fundamental problem should ruin what is otherwise a really nice phone. Ah well.
This problem has been discussed in many threads and i think its a software problem.
Reasons why i think it's not hardware relsted:
-The g2 has a similar issue but only after you patch kitkat on it.
-on my g3 and many others the hissing disapears after you make a call (with no headphones pluged in) until you reboot the system.
This simple bugfix works for me but it's a pain in the ass and i hope somebody finds a way to fix it for good
Ps.
Stock Lollipop and cm 12 both do have the problem

I have a G2 running the lastest euro open rom and the issue is still there. Nothing has been fixed! Lets face it... They either don't want to or don't know how to fix it...
Hello
While I do not get a hiss I am getting distortion from the LG G3 in the left on earphone - I have found that it happens on the earbuds you get with it along with my Sennheiser, both have them inline volume controls. My Sony earbuds do not have the inline volume control and I do not get that distortion. All earbuds testing on other devices and working perfect. You can hear the distortion in say low volume parts of say the Man of Steel soundtrack.
Anyone else have this issue with distortion in the left?
Thanks.
For people who are "not sure" if they have this issue: play some music with rhythmic bassline, then go to Settings --> Accessibility ---> in hearing section move the "balance" slider to the right. Now you should hear the distortion in its clear form in the left phone.
... would be interesting to see how many have this - I would pop round a few shops this weekend and try out some demo units to see if they also have the issue - however I am moving so no time - Would like to know if everyone with the G3 has the issue or some.
Its not something you have to listen very hard to notice - something with a bit of bass effect - I notice it on Man of Steel soundtrack, 1m 12s in on the track DNA.
By the way is the same if you use in inbuilt music player or my preferred player PowerAmp, of course all effects are off. The media files themselves are flacs which I use in testing audio equipment, so I know the files themselves are perfect.
I have this too. But it also seems very picky about which AUX-cable to use. Ive tried 5 different wich I know all works well.. tested them both with another phone and my Nexus 7. With 3 of them the phone doesnt even recognize its plugged in, the sound continues to play though the phones speakers. With the fourth one I get sound but very noisy and when i rotate and wiggle the cable it gets more noisy and static. With the fifth cable I dont get any of that but the left channel is still a bit noisy at certain parts in the songs, just like you describe in this thread.
Do you think all this is related to the same problem or have I also gotten a phone with a bad jack?
Hey Dyln
You have come to the same conclusion I have come to. Really not sure whether to ask for a replacement and find I get the same experience (alot of hassle for nothing) - Just find its really funny about what headphones you use. I am not liking that my £50 Sennheiser earbuds for gym do not sound as good as my other devices - Is that a batch issue on the hardware side?, is it a software issue (like G2)? God knows !... just annoying as its otherwise a great phone.
Christopher.
Hi I have the same issue with a pair of Shure SE-846 (9 Ohm). Very annoying. Hope this will be fixes soon or I have to get an in-line resistor to increase the impedance. There is (almost) no noise with headphones above 32 Ohm.

Distortion and feedback in between songs playing in car with 3.5mm jack
I've just posted over here which is I reckon a related issue involving the 3.5mm jack....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/aux-cable-problem-t2802719
At the risk of repeating myself I'll just copy and paste in here too...
"I have a similar issue with the 3.5mm audio jack cable in the car.
Although i have tried a couple of cables and they do produce audio out of the speakers, I have a nasty problem whenever there is a gap between tracks, or when listening to radio if I pause it for more than 1 second.
It's as if the LG is cutting the power to the aux cable, so that when the music is restarted, or more annoyingly of all after EVERY song when played straight from the device, there is a nasty distorted feedback coming from the left speaker.....
Surely this is related to what the folks are saying over here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g...music-t2804065
It never happened in my car with my Galaxy S4 or my Galaxy Note before that.
I'm seriously considering returning the handset as this noise is just not bearable - it's getting near a deal breaker for me.
edit: should have mentioned it also happens when an incoming call ends, the music cuts back in with a big old distortion/feedback."

It's good to know that there will likely be an easy fix. Even if that app has some compatibility issues, I'm sure a G3 version would come out.
LG G3 Hiss noise on left headphone
I did quite research on this issue.
Here is what I did:
Tried with 7 different high end - low end headphones. All having same issue on left headphone
My friend has the same phone, he is having the same issue
Went to Retail and tested 2 different phones, both having the same issue.
Tried with different songs, but the best songs you can listen to understand the noise is solo piano songs.
Try to listen this song: Ludovico Einaudi - I Giorni
If anyone has bluetooth headphone, I would like to see the test result. So we can understand if this is hardware or a software issue.
If bluetooth fails, It could be software otherwise most likely a hardware issue.
I thought this was a KitKat issue... so returning your G3 won't do any good. I experience this also. I'm not sure why Google hasn't made a fix for this yet.
Brilliant, thanks Online111; was meaning to pop round some retail shops to test out other G3's. Looks like it is a personal choose then if you can bear it or not. Was very nearly going to get a swap out.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I have a buzzing sound in my headphones in the left ear. It is fairly loud when the phone is idling. When I switch apps or screens it goes away momentarily then starts again. I have tested it in the music app and it does not appear to be an issue while playing music. I checked some very low volume sources and its not there. Still I wonder if I have a bad unit or have something activated doing this. I am completely stock new AT&T LG G3.
Update: After testing a few more sets of headphones, this only happens on my Bose QC15s which have the noise cancellation. Its interesting though that the Bose are dead silent on my Galaxy S5 and my wifes iphone. I tried both cables with them (since one is designed for idevices) but it doesn't make a difference. Not sure what interference they are picking up but I think I will take them to an AT&T store this weekend and see if it does it on their display models.
Is it anything like...

I think it's the same thing. With the Bose it's like a humming buzzing sound. I don't hear it at all with the Apple $79 IEMs. They are listed at 23ohm impedance. With mine it's as if theorizing switches on and off though. I can switch apps or play music and its dead quiet after I immediately pause but then it clicks back to buzzing.

I was almost returning my G3 and i was like "Hell no, again..." , i have exchanged my nexus 5, 5 times! and still has the same problem!
One interesting thing I will note guys, when I plug my headphones in that I hear a buzzing sound, I get the headphone icon in the NB. When I plug in the Apple headphones that I cannot hear the buzzing sound at all I get the headset icon in the NB.
I have read this is a Kit Kat 4.4 issue but I did not have it at all with a Galaxy S5. I am hoping it will be fixed soon but I am thinking about grabbing some different headphones anyway.
I have the buzzing just listening through the earpiece on the phone itself, no headphones required. I have the T-Mobile D851 model. So one would theorize that this is also using power since it's powering the earpiece to make noise. Some kind of electrical interference in the phone itself would be my guess.
Hi. Just got my UK spec G3 in the last few hours and I've just come across what I believe is the same problem. There is a distinct buzzing/crackling/static sounds when I have headphones connected via the 3.5mm jack. The sound is only present when I have certain media playing (using Spotify at the moment). I only notice this when connected using the jack and not when using my Bluetooth receiver (HTC BH S600). I did hear this while using two pairs of earphones while they were directly plugged into the device, the LG QuadBeat 2s from my G3 and the in box headphones from my old HTC One M7.
This has to be a software problem. I was just testing again and the buzzing becomes stronger in any app I use just when I touch the screen and scroll. I hope this is an easy fix in a custom rom. Also as I reported earlier, I do not have the buzzing during playback. I know this because I have tested some very quiet tracks and also checked on some very long gaps between songs. If it is humming it is much quieter. Only when I exit out of the Music app it is immediately quiet then it clicks in at about 2-3 seconds. I have also had a few quirks today where my headphones come up with the Aux Icon then after pausing the Music app a few times they switch to the Headset icon.
Not really sure what is going on but there has to be a software fix.
I will say the Music app sounds unbelievable with Viper4Android installed. It definitely has more oomph than with Play Music. Comparing the same tracks in both apps back and forth, the Music app is cleaner. Not sure what LG has done in that app but I like it.
I only get a buzz during charging. Disconnect the charger and it goes away. Most devices I've owned have the same issue recently. S4, S5, note 3, moto maxx, moto X, nexus 5 have all done it to me but only while charging
I have a really nasty popping crackling sound in between tracks when using aux in my car, but headphones no issues... Never had that problem at all on my nexus 5 so it can't be my head unit in my car
I wanted to post an update to this problem. I originally reported I had this issue with my Bose QC15 headphones. I do not have this issue with my Apple In Ear headphones. Today I was diagnosing things again and had been listening the the Apples. The Apples always correctly have the headphone icon show up in the Notification bar. When I plug in the Bose, I always get the Aux icon. This got me to thinking about if the cable was different. I pulled the cable out of the Bose and on the end that inserts into the headphones themselves there is a Hi Low switch. Mine was on high. When I switched it to Low, the G3 started to recognize them as headphones and not show the Aux icon. The hissing and buzzing immediately went away and its dead quiet. This switch is an input level switch and undoubtedly having it on Hi causes the G3 to not recognize the Bose properly.
There is a thread about the Aux input problem and I think they have it diagnosed. Its going to take some software manipulations. I listen to my G3 in my car through Bluetooth so I do not experience any issues on that end like the folks in that thread. As for headphones, I am not having the issue with my 2 sets.
Just a little update...
Updated to V10E, issue seems to be fixed...
No more buzzing noise in my left channel...

How strange...
Sent from from my LG-D855
I picked up a D855 V10d (Telstra branded Australia) two days ago and noticed this yesterday myself.
I have Shure SE425 canals and they make the static noise when idle, very noticeable on these headphones. When music or audio is playing the static goes away. This is of course only when the charger is plugged in.
I tested it with the LG headphones that came with the phone and the noise is still there but softer, grabbed my Samsung headphones that came with my S4 and couldn't hear anything. I believe it's due to the resistance of the headphones.
Another test was to turn off the phone and charge it with the headphones plugged in, no static noise if I did this.
Going to exchange the phone today as it's unacceptable, I primarily use it at work to listen to music and often charge it at the same time.
Saw a similar post involving aux cables. However when I plug in headphones I am noticing the headphone notification staying on for three seconds then going off..... And guess what no music only coming out of speakers!!
Anyone else having this issue
I have been having the same issue trying to use a Pressy. The phone recognizes it for a short duration, and then the symbol disappears and it ceases to work. It's almost always in the 3-20 seconds range.
OK update: tried with different headphones and it works... Seems the g3 is fussy about what cables it takes.
Quick update. The headphones i used today worked perfectly with no sound issues at all. Sound quality was good using beats audio installer

Can you get that from the play store? also are you rooted?
I am having issues with my headphones.
When I listen to music and twist my pin in the jack my G3 does all kind of things!
From shutting the music off, skipping tracks to activating some kind of voice control...
I tested the same thing with the headset that comes with the G3 and everythings fine.
In the Aux issue thread no one has problems with their headphones...
My guess is that it is due to the 3.5 pin because the headsets are split in 4 parts and normal headphones only in 3 with these small plastic rings
Does anyone share the same issue?

I had the same issue with my new sony earbuds i bought yesterday, it seems until LG fix it, we need to use the stock earbuds (I like them anyway)
Anyone getting a systemUI crash until I remove the headphones. I am rooted and did have Xposed installed along with Viper Audio. I have since removed all mods and am back to stock rooted but with no improvement. The only thing I don't think I've tried is unrooting. Any ideas out there?
I really like this phone, everything about it is great for me EXCEPT the sound quality. Anything that has to do with the headphone jack is an absolute disaster.
First off I have not experienced the dreaded AUX problem but I have experienced random pausing and skipping - as if I was pressing music controls on my headset - both in my car and on my headphones. I think a headphone jack is starting to wear?
Next I have experienced terrible distortion and static in the left channel, that was until I rooted and Installed Viper4Android. While the problem didn't go away entirely its much better than stock.
Im using my g3 with 3 or 4 devices....
My Acura's line in with Subs/Amps ect.
Shure SE846 In ear monitors
Fiio e6 amp (with the shures, sometimes helps sound quality)
Bluetooth to my Bose Soundlink
The flaws of the g3's sound output are noticeable on any of these, even the bluetooth soundlink and ESPECIALLY, on the SE846 direct.
I created this thread because I dont know what to do, its apparent I am an audiophile and care about my sound quality and youd think Id invest in some sort of MP3 player (I do have a Clip+ ) but I really enjoy using spotify. Should I buy a DAC and just avoid the g3s sound card all together or call and fight with LG and see what they can do?
Is anyone else having these problems? I have the Verizon Device.
I use Westone's connected through a Sony SB52. I haven't noticed any issue except that I like Sony's Walkman app better on my Xperia than LG's player.
I'm fairly picky about music quality and I haven't noticed any issues at all with my HD419s (the only headphones I have right now). Audio quality through aptx bluetooth directly to a car amp and polk component speakers is as good as one would expect too. No skipping or pausing with LG's app. Is that happening when your screen is on? Try turning it off, maybe it's a screen issue? Or maybe it's a glitch with the app you are using? The only problem I had with it was how quiet it was with headphones but the fix with root worked well.
There are several threads about the strange hissing sound - which I also got myself. LG has told me that they're working on fixing it and that it's a known flaw in the current ROMs.
I just got mine and I think this is the best sounding phone I have ever heard. Of course my expectations were very low after my experience with Apple and Samsung.
This opinion is coming from a very jaded HiFi gearhead so your mileage may vary.
The problem I'm facing..
There is noise+distortion+hissing during call
And when headphones are connected I cant understand or listen any thing I only hear wired noises..
Any fix guys ?
Dont know if its technical or software based issue
The sound quality has been noticeably bad for me using headphones also, bluetooth isn't too much of a problem and works fine.
I just got my headphone jack replaced free from LG (as it was doing the random skipping thing) - I quoted that it was a known problem (i mean look on XDA for all the threads) and as my phone was under warranty, i flashed stock firmware and sent it back - when i got it back in 48 hours it was replaced and working. They even cleaned the screen for me lol.
I don't use a headset, only headphones, and the quality is most noticeable on my sennheiser hd800s, but also on my beyerdynamic headphones. Install Viper audio and it improves slightly.
I got mine replaced today as well.

Hi everyone!
When I bought this phone I was surprised by loud and high quality sound through headphones even on 50 points of the volume. But several weeks ago I noticed that the sound became quieter and I have to raise the volume to 65-70. I think that it relates to some updates. Can someone help me with fixing this issue?

Nawl I've tryed everything the sound won't get louder on my V20 I could never turn my volume all the way up I'm call tmoble and see what they come up with
Today I simply bought Marshall Mode EQ headphones and now I can listen to music using only 50 points of volume again. I think that LG G8 requires higher sensitivity and impedance than stock headphones from it's box have.
Also I think that LG made some changes in last update in this case. Cause first days I used this phone the sound was pretty loud. Maybe this trouble caused by LG's hearing damage protection.
