[Q] Noise coming from the back of the phone

Hi guys.
I own a G3 32GB International/Unlocked from about a week or so. At first I ran the 4.4.2 stock firmware, until two days ago I was prompted to install the v20e lolipop update, stock too. At first it seemed a bit laggy, especially in the home screen. Yesterday I performed a factory reset, and so far, with half of the apps I used to have, it seems to be working a bit better, hopefully. [That's a brief intro just in case, lol]
So, onto the matter. A couple of hours ago I noticed some static noise coming from the back of my phone, mainly around the power/volume buttons. I hear it when I bring the phone close to my ear, otherwise I don't. When the screen is off, it's either way too quiet, gone at all, or there's a slight repetative clicking sound(maybe from the camera but I kind of doubt that). But my main concerns are when the screen is on - that's when the noise is louder and constant(still have to bring my phone to the ear to hear it, though). Furthermore, whenever I do something on the screen - i.e. sliding, opening an app, etc. - I start hearing this "working mechanism" sound(I couldn't think of a better way to describe it atm), until I stop doing anything - then it just resumes to the constant static noise. My question is - is this harmful to the device? If so, what do I do? Should I worry about this? Has anyone else experienced this "working mechanism" sound when using the phone? What have they done to fix it, if they have?
P.S. - The last thing I remember doing before I noticed the noises is copying most of my old photos and music from my PC to the internal storage. Around 1-2 gigs.
P.P.S. - The sound sliiiiightly resembles a hard drive I think.

Hardrive-type squeal/whir from back of G3
I'm having the same issues!
I have a very sensitive ear so my LG G3 is giving me a headache at the moment.
My phone is brand new--it has been out of the box for a few days, got a full charge, was activated/powered on Dec. 24th at around 11:30pm. So it's been in use less than 2 days. I have hardly any software/apps aside from stock installed at the moment.
I did install two apps this morning before the noise started, so they might be the main cause.
The sound is very much like a tiny hard drive, so I'm thinking maybe one or both of the new apps are running in the background and beating up the poor phone. Just not sure if this is normal for the G3 or not?
Right now I'm having trouble putting up with the sound while typing so I hope there is a way to quiet it down

Hope this helps. I owned my g3 for a few months now. When i first got it. Ive heard the noise. It dosent bother me tho. But that sounds like the cpu going. Then again coud be the ssd. So far i have not had any issues with the phone

Nope. All's running good so far, God bless. Guess the noise is just the processor working or something like that, it's still here.

Highly unlikely it's the processor.
What it could be is a loose capacitor. If it became unsoldered or if it lost some of the soldering, it can vibrate under stress and create noise. See with other G3 phones, if you don't hear it on others - send yours in for warranty repairs.

been meaning to update this. my g3 died lol but it was not the cpu. some reason my antenna went bad. phone still worked with wifi. i got a new g3 via worrenty replacement new phone has the noise.
as for your answer yes the phone was working fine. as for the antenna went bad i think i know what caused it. just keep your phone away from strong magnets. my laptop has a few of those cause itwas working an hour ago when i tried to use it

[Q] Signal loss issue according to battery stats

Is anyone else seeing this on their battery stats? So much red spots? I am on 2G/3G auto mode. Check attachment for screenshot.
Does anyone know how to switch basebands? Or even what different kinds of basebands are there?
FYI I have 3 other devices which never experience this issue.

Replying in my own thread: So no one experiences weird signal loss?

Try to set only 2g.
Mine suggestion, use 2g when you don't use internet too much, and switch to 3g when you really need it.
Also 2g/3g switching drains battery, bacause when there is bad 3g signal, device disable it, then switch to 2g and then device need to find network again.. Too much battery drain.

Oh wow this is horrible! ASUS has zero respect for customer requests I guess. I will change my sim and check but after reading the thread, not much hope. Thank you very much for showing this to me. Do you still face the issue?

Yes I have got this problem still..
We have tried everything already. Like, swapping SIM1 and SIM2, trying different carrier SIM cards, taking new genuine micro sim cards...etc.. but no help. But some say that if you make it, 2G only then it works fine. But I did not try and not bothered to try such a stupid solution. Hope Asus will fix it in a future FW release..

Yeah true. Why restrict to 2G on a 4G device? Okay lets hope for a fix. Or at least a response from the Asus rep on XDA. @Asus_USA

I have to say.. After the last update, the signal is much better. I still do notice some signal loss. But overall much better than before. My "Time without a signal" has dropped from 35% to 8% now.

Hey,
I'm not sure if you or anybody else does still care, but try setting your preferred network type to 2G/3G or only one of those.
I missed several calls on my ZE551ML due to signal loss and doing this solved the problem.
I'm not sure if it was ASUS's or my operators fault, but this helped me a lot.

Resolved
If your Zenfone lost signal sim card sometime and drain down battery.
Here is my solution, just ROOT your Zenphone and install that app for keep your battery alive: "Zenphone fix" app on google play
Share that app if you fixed this problem.

New OTA just pushed out

I just received a OTA push from AT&T. I'll update firmware version once my Note5 reboots.

Actually, it's AOH5, but I haven't figured out the changes yet.

Not sure if it's the fact that my phone was rebooted during the update, but it's very smooth after the update.

Same here. Anyone knows the changelog?? :\

54 packages updated. I didn't get a chance to pull the update. Probably just the stagefright stuff, samsung fixes, and at&t making their preloads more annoying. I don't see anything new popping up at me.
New APK: /system/priv-app/AmazonInstaller_ATT/AmazonInstaller_ATT.apk (this is in addition to the previous amazon shopping apk.)

Mine is rebooting now. ..

I'm believing the performance part. I can't put my finger on it, but the phone is running nicely post update.

Mine's been having issues connecting to and keeping connected to LTE, maybe this fixes it?
Or maybe Carrier Aggregation??? Hey i can dream

Great update. Phone faster, smoother, more responsive with all bugs fixed AND it's solved the world famine problem.

I would just Update my friend!

This is going to sound really strange...but can anyone who has updated their phone -and- has a Samsung wireless charging pad that has been unreliable with maintaining a charging status see if it works better now?
I have read others who have Note 5s say that a software update helped fix the problems they were having with their Samsung wireless charging pads so I was wondering if this update helped ATT Note owners.
I'm trying to induce a flashing blue error in my pad right now, but so far I've re-positioned my phone about four times and it's stayed solid blue each time. Kind of frustrating because I just processed a refund for it via Amazon.

May just be my imagination but it seems that my fingerprint reader is a lot quicker and more accurate. I had been having issues since installing a tempered glass screen protector, but now works the first time every time.

Yeah, It's like a complete reversal now. Before I had to struggle to find a position that kept the wireless charger blue (charging) but now I can't seem to get it to switch to flashing blue (not or minimal charging). Very strange. I mean, it's awesome...but I'm still hoping to get some more feedback before I cancel my Amazon refund.

I'm still waiting on a miracle root. I'm gonna hold off for a little bit. Lol

Samsung A70 screen touch delay

Anyone here experiencing a sensitivity issue on samsung A70?
I had mine like few weeks ago and notice there is a lag on screen sensitivity. I used to play games (call of duty mobile and PUBG) on this phone and it is lag whenever i tried to make a minimum/fine tune movement. It is annoying and almost useless to play.
I believed to those who are using this phone for photo editing or painting or drawing will experience the same thing.
I compare with my samsung S9+ and note3, they works perfectly. No issue at all.
I also did a test with other demo set A70 phone in samsung store, they appears to have the same problem.
Not much info i can get from the net as for now.
I did report to samsung service center in Malaysia, unfortunately they said i'm the only one who is complaining about this matter. They ask me to check if there is a firmware update in future.
Please share your experience with me.
Please help.
Thanks

Same problem here, was looking all over the internet to find someone who experienced the same issue.
Just for the record, I have also switched on the 'Touch Sensitivity' option in the settings.

I've got this issue too. I've talked to Samsung about it through Samsung members app, and they told me to take the device to Samsung customer center, but they told me that there's nothing wrong with the device. I kept bugging them about it on Samsung members app until they told me that they're gonna pass the feedback to the team.
My advice would be that we all write them feedbacks about this issue, that way they'll listen to us. Also it's important to tell them that you don't have any screen protectors on, cause they're gonna put the blame on it.

I've also posted about this issue a couple of times here and there, on Samsung's Reddit and Twitter also. And I was trying to get some YouTubers attention to this issue so they can talk about it and get Samsung to listen, but YouTubers don't respond to me.

I am tired enough to contact samsung. I even did email their ceo through samsung email. No news from them yet.
Anyway, do you think it is a hardware problem or software problem? Or that is best performance a70 can do?

I am pretty sure this is a software issue. Because Snapdragon 675 should have no problem with this considering my sisters’s old Lenovo P2, with the Snapdragon 625, is perfectly fine.

Definitely software issue. The touch used to be worse but they fixed it, and now it's like this. Also, if it was a hardware issue they would've noticed it when I gave my phone to them to scan it.

I just came back from samsung service center. They told me it is like this due to screen type.. S9 and note3 having a better screen quality. So for A70 screen type there is a limitation of the delay.
I really dont agree with them but this is what they told me. I insist to have a report on this and ask them to highlight this issue to higher samsung representative. But i forgot to take the report number. Grrr...
Imo, this issue wouldnt solve unless you able to talk to someone who is 'working in a software department' and able to explain to them correctly.
And i guess they only take a very good care on their flagship model. S and Note.

That's not the case, they just don't wanna talk about it so that's their way of shutting you out.
I've just updated my phone to September security patch and I can see they're fixing the issue. It's not 100% fixed, but I feel like it's 99% fixed. The touch is better, but not the best. I compared it to my A50 and it's indeed closer than ever to being like it, regarding the touch response latency.
I'm gonna send them a message again to tell them that they're on the right path but it just needs a little bit more fixing. The sooner we report it, the sooner it is fixed.
+ No, most of their phones have great screens, I've been with Samsung for a decade now and I can tell from experience. It's just that this device has a software issue because they're so busy making new phones and giving updates to the A50.

Tell them about this thread so they know it's a widespread issue.

Have you tried increasing the mouse pointer speed in the input settings? I bumped mine up a bit and it helped a little bit but it doesn't solve the problem of hitting a small target not being registered as a touch unless you zoom in. My old phone, LCD was able to hit small targets.

Nord N10 5g android 11 available for download on TMobile and metro

It's finally happened!

Judging from this, we can load gsi or some approximation

Can someone do a full dump of the Update with MSM read back?

OTA. Just got it myself. Interface is hideous! Color scheme change, not cooperating with Nova Launcher, re-enabled all the junk I disabled. Not a fan! Was just getting happy with my setup to, felt snappy. Anybody else having overheating issues?
Hot mess!

Try dexopt job, Android needs to rebuild dex after every update and will cause bad battery/heat for a day or 2

Interface is pretty trash, but you can get it pretty close to 10.
For the standard OnePlus launcher being an aggressive piece of work. Clear data and cache for the launcher (use an app the freeze it, since you can't outright disable it) reset Nova launcher as your home launcher.
For the overheating, I'd recommend wiping your cache phone wide. (Which is damn near impossible since OnePlus recovery is absolute butt cheeks) so your next best bet is a system format after moving your files.

Four days later and battery life has finally stabilized.

Dam, I just deleted it... was running out of storage- and was overheating. Between all that plus launcher and signal issues I just did a total cleanup.

Before cleaning out I was getting all the above-mentioned issues: Nova, heat \ batt life....
Plus slow data, dropped signal & calls...
Later today will be the acid test on the road.

Scratch the data part- there was a widespread internet outage yesterday.
Although today, play store continues to be slow as molasses

We experienced that here yesterday as well. Internet/VOIP phones out and all cellphones at my office.

Couple of days fixes heat issues. I think everything back to normal.
"Adaptive battery "
"Optimize app power consumption"
Disturbingly, I found one or both of above disabled "BUT Sleep Standby Optimation" self-enabled- you put down phone for a long time, system thinks you're sleeping and blocks calls, messages and what not.
Enabling the second one has really helped.
My limited knowledge makes me suspect update made system relearn from scratch app \ battery optimizing.

Weird, locally they were saying a fiber line on at&t backbone got cut and caused the outages. Our main ISP is Windstream that uses at&t fiber backbone, our secondary ISP Carolina connect fiber was unaffected though. All cellphones (TMobile, MetroPCS, at&t and Verizon (lte/5g)) did not have any service either. Thought it was a local thing, did not know it was worldwide.
99% of businesses in our town were only accepting cash because of the outages. However most of them stopped accepting cash during the pandemic last year so no one really carries cash like that. ATMs didn't work because of the outages. So it really goes to show how fragile and how quickly our system can go to a grinding halt.

Couple of days fixes heat issues. I think everything back to normal.
"Adaptive battery "
"Optimize app power consumption"
Disturbingly, I found one or both of above disabled "BUT Sleep Standby Optimation" self-enabled- you put down phone for a long time, system thinks you're sleeping and blocks calls, messages and what not.
Enabling the second one has really helped.
My limited knowledge makes me suspect update made system relearn from scratch app \ battery optimizing.

Sleep standby is an absolute mess.
It doesn't prioritize at all, so you've gotta sit there and enable each notification wake.
It doesn't even save enough battery power to be considered worth the inclusion.

One minor and one major change/addition to the system.
If anyone is looking to hide their camera, the option to add a black bar above the notification bar is now in your advanced display options.
A new option in developer options that relates to Bluetooth is the Gabeldorsch stack. All I can say is give it a shot. (Skullcandy refuses to provide codec support, so this is a boon)
