I just got my M8. I'm hearing a slight whitenoise static in the background during phone calls. Is this normal for this phone or should I look into exchanging it?
I exchanged my M8 for a new one and it also has white noise in the background of all phone calls. I've even tried muting both ends of the line and there is still static/white noise in the background. Does no one else notice this?

Hey Guys,
yesterday i recived a text message and as the notification sound played i noticed a loud background noise.
I never noticed that before, so its happening since yesterday. Everytime the rear speaker gets activated you can hear a very loud background noise, a hissing noise which ends with a loud click, when the speaker gets deactivated.
This happens everytime, incomming call, messages, dial pad sounds, music,...
(Running CM 6.1.1)
Anyone who knows what to do? Should i return the device?
A hiss? Sounds like the speaker is dammaged. Do you know anyone with the same phone? You can compair then. Or can your record a video of the sound & share the link here? That way we can tell you if its normal or not

Hi,
i allready asked one of my mates if he has got the same problem. But he hasn't.
I wanted to record it, but you don't really hear much of it, since the sound which is comming out of the speaker is nearly the same noise as the background noise of the recording.
I will mail my distributor to get a new phone.
I ordered a Galaxy Nexus from Clove, and oddly enough I have not experienced the volume bug issue as of yet.
I am however having some issues with weird static / hissin / crackling noises being emitted from the speaker when I make or receive calls.
I can make 5-6 calls in a row without the issue occuring, then suddenly while dialing the same number for the seventh time (voice mail to not drive friends nuts ) the noises will commence immediately.
If I put the call on loud-speaker, the noises disappear instantly, and reappear when I turn off the loud-speaker. As soon as I end the call, the noises stop as well.
Also sometimes immediately after a call, the static / hissing noises will commence for 2-3 seconds, then stop.
Have anyone experienced anything similar? My guess is faulty hardware and that I have to return my phone? :/
I seem to get a quick static "pop" immediately as a call is being connected.
Not an OMG SHOWSTOPPER but kind of annoying. Perhaps it will be fixed in a future update.
I have a pop sound. What network are you on? I bought from Clove too and very much have Ghost SAV. I use Orange no problem but GiffGaff which uses O2 is affected. 900 GSM 2G is the issue and orange does not use it AFAIK.
The Pop occurs when I tap the screen. It is very faint. Then if I do nothing then after 5 seconds it pops again. If I pinch rather than tap then it doesn't do it.
The Pop is from the rear big speaker, not the ear peice

And your in the USA didn't think it would affect us, Where did you buy from ?
This is more than a "soft pop". The static/hissing noises I am experiencing are loud enough to make it impossible to hear what the recipient of the call is saying. Only solution is to hang up and re-dial.
Only happens every once in a while, but definitely a "showstopper" in regards to rendering the phone useless for like 20% of the calls

Have you worked out why this is happening?
I've had this problem with my GN too from Clove.co.uk, using GiffGaff network in the UK. I can pretty much replicate this problem every time I make a call - does the proximity sensor trigger the crackling noise? It does in my case.
I sent my phone back to Clove a few months ago, who sent it back to Samsung. They appeared not to do anything, flash the phone with their own version of firmware (removing my yakju build) and getting back to me 3 weeks later. I wasnt happy. In any case, I've put it back to yakju and the problem is still there. Love the phone, but dont need the hassle of being without a smart phone for a few weeks again. Urgh.
Anyone else had this?
EDIT: This seems to have been fixed in 4.0.4 (IMM76D)
Hello
I'm new, 1st post. I just got a DHD off ebay. It's got Orange SW 2.3.3 which I may change after some thorough reading.
I've noticed when I make a call (during call setup) the earpiece makes a click pop noise (as if the speaker is being activated). It makes the same noise when the call is ended.
It makes the same noise when switching from earpiece to loud speaker during a call.
Call quality appears to be otherwise OK.
Any ideas, sound like a HW fault?
Thanks,
Hi guys,
I'm currently running ARHD10.2
WWE Asia
CID_044
Firmware 2.22.701.4
It's a great rom, battery life is amazing and very stable.
However, I'm hearing static noise whenever I record a video (voice recording is fine though), when I Skype, and when I make phone calls. The receivers always can hear a background static noise but it's not known to me (caller).
Is this a known issue, if so are there any fixes for this?

Well, there's a lot of confusion in what you meant. You say that you hear a static noise and a few words later, you say that the receivers hear background noises. Please be clear. As of now, since there's a confusion in what you typed, I can suggest you to record a video in a very quiet room, and see if it produces background noises. I do get background noises, but that's the most minimum noise. As far as I know, all smartphones produce some(very low) background noise. That's common.. These devices don't have those mic's that are used for audio recording.. Compare their sizes !
actually i came from the m7 and that one did not had this problem. I did recorded concerts and in realy quiet scenarios with the m8 and the microphone works awsome with noise reduction in every situation except in calls. I noticed that a few days after purchaseing it and bouth software updates that i receved did not change anything in this perspective. In my situation bouth htc`s handsfree and normal microphone, call quality is exceptional at the audio that it sends, but when i`m in a noisy place it also records the backgroung noise as clear as it records me on the phone. I repeat only in phone calls this happens. It does the same with HD voice calling and it does the same now after i changed my carrier and its bands.
I own an international stock unrooted / tweaked version of the One m8. No solution yet
P.S. There is no crackle, whitenoise or any distorsion of the background noise during phone calls. Its clear and loud as i am according to the other callers end.
Is it normal to experience a low static (white?) noise (like a black and white dot tv screen) when the other person speaks? When the other person is quite it is dead silent. My iPhone did not do this so I do find it quite annoying. The sound is also present during the beeps before the other person picks up.
Thats happens to me, i think its normal, but i dont know surely.
