Anyone experiencing a hissing noise in the left ear when playing music with headphones? It's more obvious in some songs and its really irritating once you've noticed it.
Seems to be the same problem the G2 has: THAT Kitkat Audio Bug - Hissing/Crackling. - xda-developers
Yes, me to. It's very anoying. Hope it will be sorted out otherwise I return the G3 to shop
I have the same problem here. only left earphone having hiss noise during a music play or anything.
Do you think this can be fixed by a software update or should we refund the device?

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.

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.

I don't have hissing on mine, using the stock Quadbeats and iPhone5 headphones. I have the F400K Korean model. (I am familiar with the hiss as my old G2 had it (was fixed when I was using one of the Cloudy custom rom though).
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."

I am also having the same issue with my unit. Do you guys think that an update can fix this? I had my G3 replaced for having a damaged screen. I don't want to return it to the retailer again because of the buzzing sound.

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.

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?
My apple ear buds work and sound great with g3 ...

Headphone problem
I think it has something to do with the length of the jack. I notice if the jack has a rim at the end it will have random issues. The stock LG jack has no rim?

I had this problem and found the problem is the male earphone pin on most headsets has a shoulder on it the LG female no likie. if you look at original LG male pin you see no shoulder on the shank. Try find one without shoulder and earphone will work all day.

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 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
Switched from the Nexus 5 to the G3 last week. Love it so far, but noticed that the audio quality over Bluetooth is horrendous in comparison to my previous phones.
This is connecting to my 2013 Honda Civic. Previous phones that sounded great in my car were the Nexus 5, HTC One, and Note 3. The G3 sounds really bad. At first I thought it was because I was streaming music, but I tried local content with the same results. Anything base-ier or heavy just sounds muffled/distorted when the song gets loud. It pretty much sounds like a really low-quality stream.
Is there any way to fix this or is it just an issue with the phone?

Okay, thanks?
After testing it seems more so that when my Moto 360 is unpaired the quality goes back to normal. My guess is that the phone itself is having the issues, not my car.

Same thing here. Quality sounded like a low bit rate, compressed and distorted. Old M7 sounded great, so I knew it wasn't my head unit.
Read this thread and tried disconnecting my Gear Live watch, and got a much better sounding stream. Kind of a crappy trade-off. Hopefully it's something that can be ironed out with a software update, and not an actual hardware limitation on the BT module in the G3. Like I said, my old HTC One M7 handled both without issue.

My M8 had some weird BT audio issues at launch, but an update a few weeks later fixed it. Hopefully this will be the case with the G3. Is there any easy way to re-pair an Android Wear watch? When I unpair it on my G3, I end up having to fully reset the watch to put it back into pairing mode.
Same Issue
Did you find a fix?
Im having the same issue with my LG G3. I have a 2009 Acura TSX. Verizon told me today that my phone is not compatible with my car because my car's bluetooth is out of date. I am skeptical because it works fine just sounds crappy.
Anyone else having issues? Im going to investigate further. If other peoples Verizon G3 does not have this issue, then Ill know it was lies.
Viper4Android makes a nice improvement in the quality once you get it tweaked properly. Made a dramatic difference in my car and over my BT headphones.
I have a 2010 TSX and it works perfectly with my g3 (D851). Sounds great
Does your tsx have the navigation package? What about your phone is it Verizon ?
I'm going to call Verizon again. Really bugs me. Love the phone other than this.
I've paired with my Car and a Sony Shake stereo. Both sound great, especially the Sony.
I am having the same low quality issue with the BT audio on the G3. I was using the M7 and it sounded great. I tethered the M7 off the G3 and used the M7 BT through the car stereo just to make sure I was not imagining things. There is a huge improvement in audio quality when using the M7 BT as opposed to G3 BT.
I dont think there was an issue initially when I got the phone 2 months ago. Now when you take videos there is a horrible screech on the the video. And people claim they can barely hear me during calls. I have seen the others complain in youtube but no fixes. btw I have another phone that does the terrible screeching during video recording but its a cheap ass umidigi. Yes I have done a factory reset. how about a usbc mic that mounts flush to the bottom of the phone, anyone know of anything like that?
For USB C I have no idea if there is, I would think so. What you could try is using a TRRS tie-type microphone through the 3.5mm jack. That's the only one I can think of. Did you ever wet your cell phone? Still it would seem strange to me.

It's known that the microphones for recording video are bad (for music, anyway, voices seem okay, except perhaps a bit sibilant). I've never had complaints about how I sound during phone calls.

I have had the All Generations G except the Optimus G and G7 (I currently own G8s ThinQ) and I never had that problem you mention. It will be something of bad luck in your case because I have not been notified of annoying noise in calls.

yeah i actually loved the g5 but couldnt play pokemon go, lol well sometimes it was an advantage with a glitchy gps i could be quiet far from a pokestop and hit it....however if i was right no top of it not so much. there are lots of comments on this site about the g5 and "fixes" for the gps which rarely worked.
fixed it. First I remove the charge port board it contains the mic. I tried recording with the board removed, noise still present, damn its the mic on the main board. After trying to figure out how to disable the mic, couldn't. I opened it again and held my solder gun on the mic long enough to melt the solder and remove the mic. problem solved. I guess these "advanced" mics were fighting each other for control, lol.
