Dear,
I have a problem, and I'm not sure if it's possible to fix. I have a X01HT that I flashed many times. From some days ago (I think), it produces a really annoying "whistle" (like a 'piiiiii') that destroyed my ears . I thought that it was a problem of any program, so I try to hard-reset, and also Flash another ROM (even another Radio), but nothing changes. Even after a Hard-reset, the sound never disappear (><) Any idea?
Thanks
César
Is the whistle on in bootloader? In standby?
Have you checked using loud speaker and same noise?
Have you tried muting the volume?what happens?

It is all the time the device is ON: since I press the button and it turns ON until It turns OFF, no matter what it's doing: (rebooting, in bootloader after hard reset, with IExplore, etc.).

Mute the volume is the same; the noise is there.
Also, I notice that I can hear the noise real more stronger when I have the screen in front of me (If I'm looking to the back of the device, I almost can't hear anything).

Then it's just the phone speaker, not the loudspeaker at the back.
I would ask what happens to the noise when you plug in the headphones, but it's a hardware problem anyway, so repair center it is.
We use some Symbol PPT8800 series PocketPC devices (runs PPC2003) and some of our units start making those noises, after heavy use. But generally its shortly before they go pop, I'm afraid to say.
Hope yours is something else.

I plug the headphones, and it's the same.
I also imagine that it's hardware problem (><)
I had the same problem (AT&T Branded 8525) started after I'd had it only 3-4 Months. I'd purchased two and flashed them with same ROM's however, I only had this problem out one. Spoke to AT&T's division of HTC warranty center. End result...it was hardwar problem. They shipped a replacement device @ not cost to me. Problem fixed.
so as far as i can see there is no home made solution for this?
try removing the battery and try and turn on the phone without the battery (it won't go on) for about 10sec this will drain any remaining power in the circuits. Then reinstall the battery and see if that fixes it.
Chris
It sounds like you are having the same problem I have with my 8525. It's probably not your speakers but more your LCD screen.
There have been a lot of complaints about this, with no easy fix other than to send it in and get it repaired/replaced and alot of the times the replacements have the same problem.
I've learned to live with it by turning off the screen when I am on the phone.

That sounds right...so is there anything that we can do about it without sending it in for "repair"?
Hello , i recently bought the Desire HD, and havent been experiencing any problems with it except of one quite annoying.
When im in a call, either outgoing or incoming, the speaker makes a weird crackling noise.
This happens always, and happens on both the phones speaker, and loud speaker (depending on which is selected during call), and headphones(when connected). Ive searched the forum, and some people have been experiencing a sort of problem, but not on the same device.
any help is very much appreciated thank you
I can verify that I'm experiencing the same with my Desire HD.
We discussed this issue already in the german "Android-Hilfe"-Forum. This buzzing, crackling noise seems to affect a small number of desire HD's. Mine was affected too. All the devices have been changed on warranty with no costs for the customer in germany. No matter from which provider they were bought.
Edit: BTW: Wrong Forum, I think. Could an Admin move this thread please?
Thanks for the quick replies guys, appreciate it
Hi All,
My Desire HD has started doing this today too! Really gutted. What has HTC UK support been like this on it? Replacement or repair, and how quick? I dont want to be without a phone long! Is this a widely recognised problem, apart from this thread I dont see much on it. Im wondering if the buzz comes from a loose LED flash cover vibrating caused by the speaker?
Thanks very much
I have the same and I thought it is the proximity sensor opening and closing.
Are you guys sending it back for replacement or are you going to live with it?
i have the same problem it sounds like the earpice is short circuiting for 1/10 second
i dont know is it a general problem or only limitted to our handsets
and if we update the radio version is it going to disappear or not
any help is appreciated

I sent 2 support cases to HTC at the same time. The one was for tjis issue and the other for something else. The other one was answered next day but for that one, not a word. Does this tell you something?
didnt understand you sir.

I say that: I contacted HTC support in regards to this but haven't received a reply. But, I have received replys for other cases. And this doesn't sound good.
i have the same issue
Issue with noise
I recently replaced my DHD due to a similar issue. I found if my hand palm was making contact at all with the SIM.SD Card cover, ie the antenna I would get an extremely high pitch feedback sound. Also if phone was on charge the crackle sound was audible.
Orange were great and replaced the original handset straight away at no cost but the replacement also appears to have the same issue. For the moment I'm considering contacting HTC direct but i'm not sure as otherwise I love the phone, and truly believe it is the best on the market.
I think the issue might be resolved if i get a outer protective cover so I'm going to try that first, and not use the device while on charge.
Would be good to know if others have had these experiences.

Whatever you decide, contact HTC so that they know and work on the problem. As I said, I contacted them but never received a reply which means that they are aware and have no solution.

That must be a different issue. I hear that noise via BT headset when I don't even touch the phone. I believe it's due to the sound frequency change during a call and the low quality speaker cannot handle. It's like using a high wattage amplifier on a low quality speaker and expect to hear deep bass sound. I guess you all know the result of such sound.
I'm also experiencing this problem. Sent the phone in and got it back but the problem is still there. They changed the motherboard and the loudspeaker but that obviously didn't fix the problem. So now I probably have to send it back again.
i just hope this problem can be fixed with software..
hi all,
in my case occasionally during call's even whit sound volume low a ear the person talking with " extremely high pitch feedback sound".
It's a very good phone but that problem is starting to annoying me.
i allready send a email to htc portugal and their response was to send the equipment to the repair center
in you opion what should i do? send to repair?
Thanks
Have you tried enabling the SRS improvement? It can be done in the music player. It made the crackling sound during calls in my device disappear...

I will try this and post back...
What I'm experiencing, when I'm on hold with my service provider (Vodafone AU) I can hear the normal on hold music then at random intervals just for a half a second or so the music cuts and there's an annoying crackle noise. Sometimes there is no noise for a while then there can all of a sudden there can that crackle noise every few seconds. Like another person has said for me if I change to loudspeaker it still does the crackle noises and turning the volume down doesn't help. I've tried taking my hand off the phone but it still happens. I have noticed a few times the reception bars icon, drop a bar or gain a bar when this noise happens so maybe there's a link?!? By the way I'm running LeeDroid 1.4.1 (wich is based on HTC's 1.72.405.3 ROM). Also I'm running the Jan 17th Radio version: 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M.
Right. This could well sound daft but try it anyway! Someone on another forum said it worked for him (her?) and it worked for me with a Nokia E71. The speaker was 'crackling' so I did the usual googling. The answer was, for me, to suck really hard on the speaker a couple of times. Basically the diaphragm gets put out of place and the 'sucking' gets it back.
Try it and see! Though it won't fix the 'feedback-type' noises I'd guess but I find most of those are specific to a particular call. Either call back, or get them to call you back, and all is well.

Received my OP3 yesterday and immediately i noticed the vibration motor is kind of weak / noisy.
It makes some kind of rattling noise. Im not sure if this is normal or a defective unit so i was wondering if more people having the same issue.
Thanks :good:
Yeah, same here. It may have to do with the vibration intensity which may be set a bit high in OOS 3.1.2. But it's just my guess. You could try a ROM with a modifiable vibration intensity and see what the results are then.

Just seen the android authority review they state it as " Sub-par vibration motor ". I agree.
Somewhat agree, feel's very much like the same motor used in the opo. I don't actually mind it to be honest, phone may be silenced but instill can just about hear it when a notification comes in..
Yeah its not that much of a big deal, but im used to strong vibration motors i think i just have to get used to it
But it feels a little bit cheap on such a high end build
My S7E haptic feedback motor is strong but very muted/quiet. When I got my OP3 I immediately thought it was broken. It really disturbs me at the moment amd I hope I get used to it or find info about some units being defective so I can send it back for fixing.
Same here. But I had the side affect of knowing this behavior from my opo.
On my note 4 it was Better in terms of vibration intensity. The opo 3 is louder but generates less vibration. It feels and sounds cheap. Although I have to admit that for me it's not that big of a deal since I have my phone on the desk all the time and vibration for me is just a quieter way of informing me rather than having the sound on...

I have the same issue. In fact it wasn't like this before. I like to set a very light vibration when I type and I've just noticed a hiss noise each time I press a button/key. I use OP 3 for a week and it definitely wasn't like this before this moment. It may be related to recent update I've got yesterday (but this seems unlikely), or the engine isn't so good than I thought. Anyway that's a bit disappointing. Is your vibration hissing too? I can hear it even at the lowest settings when the vibration barely noticeable but the noise is still present. Sounds very cheap, even my $100 Jiayu sounded better.
Mine feels the same, too rattly.
Do you think there are a few defective unites around or is it the same on all OP3's and a bunch of us are more sensitive to it than the rest?
I did take mine to the service center where they said that if the vibration motor was defective in any way, it would just not work at all and mine apparently has no issues.
mines noisy and kinda weak as well but i arranged with it just fine
I have the same issue too. The phone makes a rattling noise while vibrating and it is annoying!!
Ask for a replacement!!
I have this vibration issue too, but it occured after some weeks, not at day 1.
I did a service request, described the issue and sent it in.
After some days my OP3 came back, protocol said "no service needed, all test went fine".
Funny thing, the vibration issue was gone.
The next morning it was back again and now I'm in forum right now, looking for a solution...
Oh man, they used the same cheap and rattly vibration motor they used on the One, not the good one from 2. I just realized.
The strangest thing happened. I had a professional install a brand new screen on my Pixel 2 XL and now most notifications don't come through and it doesn't ring and I only have the earpiece speaker. Music and videos only play through the earpiece speaker I don't get phone rings, email notifications for AquaMail, SMS/MMS the same. If I use a stock notification it comes through.
I am on Dirty Unicorns from July, Magisk, ElementalX.
What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Nobody has any ideas, theories?

When they replace the screen, several ribbons have to be unplugged then plugged back in. Maybe something got damaged or disconnected.
The tech says it all looks good.. He owns a 500 employee cell phone repair shop across the country.

My screen was also replaced on Monday. No issues whatsoever, the screen also seems to be better than the original one with less blue shift.
No matter how many employees this guy has, he did something wrong! But I checked everything before I paid (speakers, cellular connection, GPS). Didn't you?

screen replacement of the screen is so easy, i did it last week by myself, and unfortunate the bottom speaker stopped working and the ear one start loud then dim by time until you can't hear anything..
i do some inspection and i find out that i knock out the bottom speaker transistors when i was unplug my old screen... the transistors is so tiny black peace beside the screen flex.
i don't know if this issue can be fixed or i need to change the whole main board !!! but am sure that is the thing happened to you too
i will send the phone for ismash to try to get it fixed so wish me luck

This might be the reason for my problem!
NOTE: The popping/crackling noise is made by the motor, not a microphone/recording bug.

Hi, the closest problem i have found on the net is this https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/513240/Why+does+my+phone+rattle+when+it+vibrates it could be some screws to tighten a bit, hopefully it could be fixed like this, but i don't know how accessible is the motor.
I am also getting this noise on my F3, is this normal?

Even the crackling and popping sounds? How is your vibration for notifications? Weak or fine?
Nevermind I thought the gear grinding sound was also the problem, unless it is. I didn't get any crackling or pooping sounds.

I think that is normal yes
Mine sounds like this when moving the slider. I like the (quite faint) sound actually
@Kom_zo
Hi again, got mine today.
Checked the haptic and same issue. I noticed it only happens on fast movement of the slider and imo it's software related.
The motor doesn't hick-up but the sound generated/related to the slider speed. In one way or another it can't reproduce the sound as quick as the movement.
Hope this get fixed with a sw update. Otherwise it's not that ok

Hi there, also getting the same damn thing, it's so frustrating to buy a brand new phone a getting this half-cooked hardware.... here you can appreciate the crunching sound in my terminal...
Quality control issues, this what happens when Xiaomi tries to sell such good hardware for such a good price during the pandemic.
I'm not sure if I'd personally ship it back if mine has the same issue, shipping fees to China/Europe is costly from Canada.
If the shipping fees and turnaround times is not that bad for you and the seller has a replacement policy then return it for a replacement.
Mine has the same problem, i think it's software related
I think it is software related too. That sound is almost gone when you change the haptic feedback in the gboard settings.
I could replicate this problem with two identic Poco F3 Smartphones (8/256gb), (left one crunching, right one normal , how it should be)

Thank you for this! So it is definitely a design flaw of the F3. I wonder what portion of devices shipped with a crunching sound to the vibration motor..
crunching sound this unnormal ?
oh, come on guys, grow up.
when, in the real life, will you go to the settings and slide up and down on the haptic feedback intensity bar like mad?
if there is no issues whilst operating phone in normal working environment then why would you care about it?
It has to be software, when you do the vibration test it goes well and nothing sounds, does someone with xiaomi.eu have the bug?
fixed in 12.0.4
