background "hiss" - HTC Tornado

Hello all, another question that I would appriciate any feedback for.
I have noticed "background hiss", you hear it when the other end is not talking, or the call is getting set up. Is this a feature of the phone / can anyone else confirm this?
Many thanks all.

come on all, someone has to have the same phone as me - this is the tornado forum
All I wanted to know if the slight background hiss is present in anyone elses phone.
anyone?

I have a Dopod 577w (Tornado).
I think it depends on the network sigal strength. If the signal is poor, sure there will be "background hiss".

thanks for the response. It seems to be there in the background all the time, regardless of strength. only a slight hiss, but I am not sure if this is to be expected or not. Otherwise I will send it back!
Oddly, it does not seem to get louder if I raise the volume or not? It is always there.
I just wanted to know if anyone has the same experiance. You notice the hiss as soon as the connection is made (and the phone is ringing at the end)

Accecptable. Every phone I've used has background hiss (in quiet room can be heard). It's just a phone, not a HIFI speaker. Relax.

static clicking noise

does anyone have any static clicking noise? for example b4 some sort of sound comes on u hear a little static click from phone, or right when about to call, u click call and a clicking static noise clicks once or twice then calls? everything runs perfect, but this noise annoys me so much? is there a fix for this or do i need something?
no idea what you are talking about :/ if you add ROM, device (Fuze, sprint touch pro, Touch pro Europe,etc.) and Radio (stock or not)
I'm guessing it's a radio problem but that's just my minor educated guess. Also when does this happen? phone call, sms, before ALL sounds?
i've tried many different radios same problem, usually occurs right b4 sounds occur, say i click on a contact ill hear this static click and etc
Not sure what you're asking, so please clarify. Also this doesn't belong in the rom development forum. I'm moving to the raphael general forum.
for example, when sounds are coming out right b4 they do, a static clicking sounds comes out of speaker. for example, i press call, right b4 the call starts i hear click then it begins dialing. the voice and talking is flawless but that clicking noise is just annoying me
I get the same sound on my Fuze. it is very annoying. I hear it before most sounds and if I enable event sounds I hear it on almost every screen touch. It sounds to me like the speaker is being "powered up" in some way. I think that it is also a cause of battery drain. Since I turned off the event sounds the battery lasts much longer.
One other thing that I noticed is that back of my device near the speaker would get hot when I heard this sound a lot.
I am using NATF 2.3 ROM but it happened with 2.2 also. I have not changed the radio.
IF anyone has any advice I would appreciate it, as the first posted stated, it is annoying.

I had similar issues with my phone a while ago. I took it back to the ATT store and they said not to worry about it, unless it got worse. I've since completely reset my phone and started from scratch and it doesn't do it any more. I used to get it alot with opening and closing the keyboard, but also with screen touches too. But, knock on wood, it's not happened since I reset my phone.
yes, chris thats exactly it... let me try event sounds and see if i have same issue there.
cant remember but i dont think i had it in romeos 1.4 and difinately did not have it when i first started flashing or the stock rom that came with it... not sure if its something now in these new roms. i just dont want to flash my phone right now bc i have it set up the perfect way for me, as its fast. responsive..... but if its last resort i will go back to romeos 1.4 to experiment it out

I've been hearing this sort of noise myself, and I have the AT&T stock Rom on my Fuze. I hope it's not another bug with the phone, for I can not return mine (past 30 days & phone return limit). It's not that bad so I ignore it. I only hear it before it rings, not during my calls so it's ok.
Please go to Start, Settings, Personal, Sounds and Notifications and disable screen taps!

lol its a little more complex than that.... it seems like the speaker has to turn on or sumtin, its weird. like states in a previous comment, its right b4 any sound occurs, but during calls etc it is perfect.
Yep, I had that noise on both my original and replacement Fuze's.
Sounds like GSM buzz on the speaker - like when you have your phone next to a T.V. and you get a call or text.
I had this noise on the first fuze I got, 2nd and 3rd did not have it.
It sounds to me like the sound chip is in 'deep sleep' mode, and when the wake event is triggered, some voltage is getting passed on to the speaker, hence the short 'click' noise, which only occurs at the start of audio streams (the sound chip goes back into sleep mode shortly after playing the sound, which is why you again hear a click later)
If you don't hear any clicking in a steady stream of sound (like playing an mp3) this is pretty likely to be the cause.
is there any fix for this or anything we can do to avoid the clicking? its just an annoying sound even though im starting to get sued to it still frustrating lol
Fix Please?!?1
yes i need a fix please this is annoying... i might go back to the g1 if i cant find a fix
i think i have narrowed the problem down, im going to reflash my phone and will post an update in the next 20-30 minutes
Any updates on this? I get it constantly (before calls and other alerts, just before playing a song, when playing Teeter...)
Has done it on the original 3 (au) firmware, the 2nd update of the 3 (au) firmware, Elite RC2 and ROMeOS 1.5x and 1.7x.
Never gone away
UPDATE:
if u are having this issue, please call your cell phone company, and ask for a trade... its a sign of speaker going bad... i got new one and problem is fixed.

[Q] Microphone bad quality

Dear all,
I did the most silly thing I've ever done in my life with trying to reset my transformer by setting a pin in the... microphone entry. I've had to many wmobile phones and I hadn't read the manual.
Hopefully I didn't push like a donkey and the microphone is still working.
But I'm quite a paranoid and I'd like to check if my microphone has been damaged because now that I'm paying attention to its quality, I noticed that the sss sounds look more like "sh" sounds.
Could someone please kindly upload a microphone sample with some speaking with some "sss" in order for me to compare?
Thank you!
Regards
Excalius
Boy,
nobody wants to take 30 secs to help? I posted here the sound sample I take when speaking really low.
I just cant send you the file because I'm too new on this website.
just hit filedropper.com and follow by

Please tell me if you see a similar problem on your device and send a sample from it.
Yours has a kind of background whirring noise to it, don't know if thats a pc fan in the background or the mic broken, but mine isnt like that.
And you also sound very quiet, but you may just be further away from your device than I was from mine when I tested it.
I couldnt find where the default recording app saved the files so I used an app called PCM recorder to record it at 48000Hz. Whatever app you used to record your clip, created it in a very poor audio quality. It has a kind of 'underwater' sound quality, which is common with low bitrate recordings.
Oh and you'll have to take my word for it as I'm not posting an audio clip.
Ok thank you.
And there,

do you still hear an anormal buzzing sound? You really can't send me a recording without speaking just to hear your sound?
And the shh are present with you too?
Thanks

Notification and ringtone sound first low, then loud

Hi.
Since I have got the phone I have noticed this bug and lately it became constant. When someone calls me, the first second is very low then the sound becomes normal. The same with the texts and other notifications. The first thing to come in mind is the "ascending volume" option.. disabled that and no luck. Sometimes I notice that even when I type, the sound is randomly low and high (or maybe I have just became paranoid...).
I have searched the web and seems like many people have this problem but there is no fix. Some of them uses the app "Disable Increasing Ring" or "Smart Ring Control" and they are happy with that. But in my case it didn't work. Don't know if it is because of incompatibility with the 1+1 or with the CM11S.
If anyone else had this problem please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.
My device is OnePlus Onewith CM version 11.0-XNPH38R. Not rooted (will root if the fix requires it )

[Q] help please-s.voice quiet!!

Ok, so you may or may not love S-voice, but i use it!
For some reason, the S.voice feedback is really quiet.
It was fine, then for some strange reason(intact, it was speaking to me, then the exercise feedback spoke over it) and ever since then its been quiet.
multiple resets, all sound and volume alterations/configurations have been tried...nothing!!
All other output is perfect, just this thats quiet
I have even connected to my iPhone and Siri blasts out the speaker nice and loud, so I'm really confused.
Cant see an option to recover in Kies, so does anyone have any suggestions??
many thanks guys

Update
Proper sound came back of its own accord.... But then the same thing happened again... It simply went quiet!
Does anyone have any ideas for a reinstall of the ROM?
When connecting to kies,I can't get an option to do a proper factory reinstall??
Loving this watch and it's many features so assistance would be greatly received
back again
Full volumes back again
I was on a call on my watch and put the volume for the call up to Max volume.... And her pesto, s voice on the watch went back to full volume again!!
Coincidence?, I'm not sure but I'm not unhappy that it's back!

Question Low Call Speaker Volume

Hello to all and thanks for reading this...
This device is amazing, but when i use speaker for calling the sound is very low, i cant hear anything if i'm in the car or other outdoor places.
this problem is software related because if i call someone trough (es Watsapp) and use Speaker, the loudness is much more high and i can hear very well the caller.
there is a way to fix this problem? can i increase the calling volume ??
Thanks !
hi you can try restarting your phone and seeing if that fixes it, if not you can see go to setting and search 'clear speaker' and follow its instructions. or you can update your phone to latest version. if that fails then you are probably in a place that is too noisy.
ask again if you need help.
