Adapter makes buzz sounds - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody can try plugging the boostmaster 18 w adapter in socket without plugging it into your phone and see if it makes a buzz or beep continues sound ...??
Alternatively you can remove it from socket and take it close to your ear and listen?
Thanks

From a distance, I haven't heard anything buzzing or beeping. All AC adapters make a buzzing noise if you put it up to your ear.

Same here. Cant explain it. I'm afraid of a faulty capacitor blowing up and damaging my phone. Perhaps just paranoia.

People cant hear me when I plug in my aux

Ok so my gf just got the GSII and she is having a problem. She uses an aux cord in her car to plug in her phone so that it goes through the speakers. When she plugs this phone in and makes a phone call, the person on the other end cannot hear her, but she can hear the other end.
Has anyone seen this before and do you have any fixes????
THANKS!
yeah i have this problem too in my car, but when im in my friend's car its fine

hmm that is not what I wanted to hear lol
That really doesnt make any sense at all, it should be the same as its just an aux port. I had her try it with computer speakers and it was the same.
It could be that you had used a bad designed audio cable. If you look at the original headphone that came with the phone, the plug has 3 parts to it (Ground, Sound, and Mic). So it could be that the no good audio cable is taking in the Mic side as well, therefore the other party is not hearing her.
If you really want this mixed 100% without worrying about the type of cable. I suggest you buy a cable with a mic on it with aux in. I am sure you can find one on monoprice.com/amazon/ebay.
Good Luck

Aux Mic input?

So I use an aux cable for audio in my car. I can make calls through the speakers this way. Sometimes though the Mic doesn't work and sometimes it does. Does anyone know if there is something that specially triggers the Mic to work?

Sounds like a loose cable connection. Normally those 3.5mm jacks have 3 or 4 sections on them to support stereo audio plus a mic. If your cable was plugged in and got yanked to the side, it might break some wires in the cable or bend the plug internally (phone or car). But I'm speculating here...got another cable you can try?

Lg G3 hissing charger.

Hey guys i noticed something that I would like to point out and ask you about.
When using the G3 on battery i get no hissing noise whatsoever. But the moment i plug it in the charger supplied i start to vividly hear hissing noises. I noticed that a hissing sound also comes from the charger and i assumed that its normal because of the 1.8 amps flowing through the thing. Is it normal or do i need to hit up tmobile for a replacement charger?

I can tell you I've NEVER gotten any hissing sounds when charging any of my phones, or my wife's phones, whatsoever, over the years. Even charging them from a near empty status AND using them at the same time.
One time last year, I got a hissing/crackling sound when charging my Note 3 and it turned out our kitten had chewed a portion of the cable, right through the sheathing and exposed some of the wires. The cable was shorting out a bit and creating that hissing/crackling sound.
I would try and see if you can replicate the hissing sound when using another charger and/or cable, to narrow down whether it's the charger, cable or phone.
Hissing from the charger block could indicate a defect in the stepdown transformer or a short in the charging cable. Hissing from the phone could indicate a charging port problem. Hissing from the battery could indicate a defective battery.
Of course, this is coming off your description of a hissing sound, which might be similar to a crackling sound, in which the above still holds true.

Are you sure your g3 does not have the hissing sound while charging? At all?

All mobile chargers will make a noise. That sounds comes from the electrical components, as they chance AC electricity to DC at lower voltage.
I dug out an old block charger and that gives off a hum, not a hiss, when I use it and also when it's just plain plugged in and not being used to charge or pass current. The hum do is very faint. I don't get any hiss or hums on my other chargers, whether charging or not.
And yes, all chargers are stepping down voltage, but cellphone chargers on a whole should not be hissing. The current is not much on a whole compared to other appliances that hum (ACs, fridges, etc) that are pulling more amps and current through that transformer. You might get an audible hum or noise when your phone is pulling the full current with a deep charge and even more so while deep charging and using it at the same time.
You said you're hearing hissing, which is not the same as humming. If your battery or phone is emitting a hissing charge, then something is up. As I mentioned in my earlier post, hissing from your phone or battery might signify a defective battery and bad charging, the cells might be overheating or so.
I'm not sure on your setup or so, but one cause of loud humming on transformers is "dirty voltage", or when you have noise on your electric lines. All lines have noise, but depending on your electric supplier, they might have more noise on the line and that translates into the transformer.
You mentioned hissing and not humming again, so I'm assuming it's actual hissing you're hearing. If it was humming, then I would say that that is normal under use and so forth. But hissing is something different, especially if it's coming from your phone!

Dash Charger noise?

Does the Dash Charger make noice also, is it Normal? Thx!
Just checked but No Sound at all.
Mine does - a very slight buzzing whirling noise...have to have ear less than a foot away to hear it. Not sure if it's normal, but my Op2 adapter made pretty much the same noise.
Normally i would see cheap condensators placed.

Yes i have some situation. Power supply does a noise. Bit it'is very rarely

In my personal experience I have noticed an extremely high pitched noise from pretty much every mobile phone charging brick I have ever used. Nothing to worry about.
Mine has always been 100% silent, but if you're getting some kind of noise out of it, try plugging it into the power strip, or plug it in at a different location and see if it stops. It might be that the power coming into your house is "dirty". I used to build pro audio studios, and we always had to use power conditioners due to the power coming into the location giving producing substantial noise in the lines, both analog and digital.. A lot of it has to do with slightly out of phase AC current, and when it's switching to DC in the charger transformer it can make noise at the front end of said transformer. Also, the dash charger pulls a significant amount of current to be transferred so I can imagine some noise would be expected with unconditioned power going into it.
If it's annoyingly audible I would plug it in elsewhere and if it still makes the same noise contact OnePlus and get another one.
So Many people facing same sound issue inside the charger,its normal
Mine is silent and if the sound being emitted by your charger is like a buzzing one is extremely low then it can be considered as normal but if its even audible during normal room sounds then you should get it checked.
If you unplug your charging cable from the phone before unpluging your charging brick from the wall outlet, then some "charge" may remain in the charging brick. Just remove the charging brick from the wall outlet first, wait about 3 seconds for the remaining "charge" to transfer from the charging brick to the phone, and then unplug your cable from the phone. By doing these, there is no remaining "charge" in your charging brick and it won't make that buzzing noise. That buzzing noise occurs on all of my other charging bricks as well (for samsung tablet, lenovo smartphone, oneplus 2). Of course, if the charging brick makes that noise, just plug your cable in the phone (without plugging your charging brick in the wall outlet) - this will transfer the remaining charge from it to the phone and the charging brick will stop making that noise.

Music stops playing and google voice kicks in when I touch the headphone cable

I have a Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 and I have had this problem for about a year. When the headphone cable is moved or touched the music stops and google voice starts. I tought it was a problem with my headphones but I've changed like 3-4 pairs of headphones and the problem still occurs. The problem only occurs when the headphones are plugged in. Anyone has a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!
it looks like the brass inside your audio port is bent.
Reconnect, and test, until it doesn't.
Try cables with 4 pins.

you have to open the phone. u need a (-) screwdriver, but the best way is soldering it. u just need a jack socket ( u can use from any device which have audio jack ) , or u can buy it, its cheap. less than 2 dollar
