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] Inconsistent Volume Issues

I am almost positive this question has been asked before, but alas...
For reasons unknown, my Nexus S seems to have inconsistent volume levels.
1. Regardless of how loud the volume is set to, the "operation" sound effects are ALWAYS at bare-audible levels. For example, when the screen is turned off it's almost impossible to hear the noise. This holds true even when the system volume is at maximum.
2. In call volume is always low, and yet the speakerphone volume is always SUPER loud.
The posts I've read before always seem to mention it being a problem with the Nexus S phone itself, but how is that possible? If the sound comes out then the sound comes out. It would seem to me like a problem with Gingerbread.

i use this to keep my volumes set properly
http://www.appbrain.com/app/audiomanager-widget/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget

WOW thanks for that link. It solved the problem immediately. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is with the actual Gingerbread software though...why don't the volume levels adjust properly?
Also, I saw your post in another topic and found your signature (image) to be quite fascinating. I too have used many of those phones actually.
On a side note, can you (or anyone) explain why my topic was moved from the Nexus S board?

yeah i recently learned about audio widget, and it seems to be able to seperate out different system level audio vs call audio etc. not sure why this isnt available in stock android, but this app is able to do it. so its a must have.

Sensation sound stops working?

I've got klaxon installed, a few other apps. Some morninga my alarm makes no sound at all. Reboot phone and it works again. Tried other alarm apps, it is the phonea sound, not just klaxon. hoping it's software related.
Anyone shed some light?

had same problem with sound ... especially when playing divx movies ... after a few minutes sound is gone ...
same issue with some games like talking tom cat ... after few seconds or minutes no sound ...
called htc about this issue .... they said the problem is known ... and it is a software issue ... we have to wait for an update for this

As long as it's known. Really giving me the ****s.

It's happened to me a couple times as well. I had my volume at full and received a text message and the phone only vibrated. Had to restart the phone both times to get sound back.

Happing to me to all the time ..
You Can Fix it by calling voice mail .. seems to work or reboot.
Its happing to me all the time now .. really getting pissy about it.

I had this problem too, as I use my cell phone for my morning alarm. I was using the stock alarm. It only vibrated instead of making any other sounds.
After setting the alarm to snooze, when trying to change any other sounds the display would only show Media Volume and nothing else. Even attempting to change the volume in the master Sound Settings didn't work.
Placing a call to voicemail did allow me to change the Notification volume after I hung up.
Someone on the T-Mobile forum says it happens after using Voice Search: http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-SENSATION-4G/Speaker-issue/td-p/890855 I used Voice Search as a test last night and I did notice that after hitting cancel I didn't hear the tone, but I didn't think anything of it. I think my sound went out before I used Voice Search for the first time?
Hope this gets fixed soon.

At least I'm not crazy.....
I'm having the same issue, and while I wish it didn't exist, I'm SO glad to see others with the same problem! I thought I was losing my mind. And even more than that, HTC says it's a known issue? Do they have any idea what it's related to? Before I master reset my phone....
I called T-Mo this AM and they thought I was NUTS! This is a raging pain in the behind. Is there anything to do to "work around" this issue in the meantime?
I <3 my Sensation, but this is a sucky problem.

My audio cuts out if I use the In-Car mode for Vlingo with the SafeReader feature on. Tried it a few times just to be certain and then I have to do the inevitable reboot.

Uninstall talking Tom and problem goes away,I did that and haven't had problem since

I have to think it's a sense issue. No talking cat app here and my audio always cut out when playing my videos.

Same here no talking tom app and happens all the time calling vm will bring back sound.

No sound when trying to play Pandora (or anything)...happened only twice. Rebooted and it worked, but not sure what caused it other than Sense?

After about a week I only had this issue once (the first day I got it). Every now and then I'll hit the volume buttons to make sure it doesn't say "media volume" so I'll be able to wake up in the am.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

just happened to me :/

A little while ago I lost all sound(ringtone-notification etc) I called VM and no go. I than rebooted and still no go I then pulled battery and rebooted and the sound came back on but very weak(too weak to begin with) I then did hard reset and it seemed to go back to normal. I have missed numerous phone calls lately and it now appears that the phone was not ringing. I am having other issues as well a the moment. I called CS retention dept and they are replacing it but claim that the volume issues are not known issues. I guess I should have called HTC instead, but I have 6 days left on buyers remorse and since this is my third one (first 2 were unusable) I have got to make a decision to keep one and wait for update or just return and get refund. I really do like this phone and would be very hard for me to return for refund but this is what I may have to do.

I agree with that. It may not be the only cause of the "lose all sounds" bug, but it's one of them. I was able to duplicate it over and over, and e-mailed HTCs tech support with the following:
Me said:
Hello. I would like to report a bug which can be replicated in the HTC Sensation 4G handset for T-Mobile.
On more than one occasion I have lost all audio from the phone including ringers, sound effects from applications, alarm tones, etc. When this happens, on the main screen the rocker switch on the side of the phone adjusts the "Media Volume" instead of the Ringer Volume as it should. The only solution I've found is to restart the phone.
I am able to duplicate at least one cause of this issue on a consistent basis. Pressing the magnifying glass button while inside of an application causes the "Speak Now" dialog box to appear. Pressing cancel returns me to the application that was running, but all sounds stop working.
Follow these steps to duplicate the issue:
- From the main screen, press the lower left button (to the left of the "Phone" button) on the screen to go to the "All apps" screen.
- Select the "Teeter" game app that comes pre-installed on the phone.
- Begin playing Teeter. While playing, press and hold the magnifying glass button next to the edge of the screen (I was pressing it by accident with my right hand as I was holding the phone to play the game).
- The Google "Speak Now" box pops up over the game.
- Press "Cancel"
- Resume the game
- Repeat the process of holding the magnifying glass button until the "Speak Now" dialog pops up, and press cancel again
- All sounds from all applications vanish, and the rocker switch only adjusts the "Media Volume" from the main screen. Restarting the phone is the only solution I've found to remedy the situation.
Please advise as to when this issue may be resolved.
Thank you,
Me

I've already nearly missed my alarm because it was only vibrating instead of alarming, and it's irritating to have to reboot the phone anytime the sounds stop working. I hope they resolve this soon.

i have a same problem with sound phone,how to fix the problem? can you help me>

[Q] volume issue dell venue pro

so i have this great phone, i love wp7, it has thing's that i don't like but well nothing is perfect.. but what i really, let's say, hate is when i receive a phone call the volume is really low :S i have the phone wit the volume o maximun (30), the music sounds great, really loud but the phone call and even the alarm sound really really low, how can i fix that?

Phone call volume is controlled separately from everything else. While in a call, hit Volume Up and put it at max (the scale is different: in a call, it goes 1-10 instead of the normal 0-30).
If that's still not loud enough, I'm not sure what to expect. You could try using earbuds or a headset. On my HD7, I have to set call volume down to 5 when using earbuds or it's painfully loud. Bluetooth headsets often have their own volume control too, and can push the call higher if the phone doesn't go high enough.
There are some registry controls that affect volume, but I don't think anybody had managed to get any write access to the DVP registry yet.

thanks for the answer man, but i think i don't explain myself very well xD i'm talking about the ringtone from when you're getting a phone call you know? That's the volumen i'm talking about that it is kinda low, and is the same with the alarms..i hope you can understand me now haha..and i have another question since you answer my previews one you know a way or and app to change the colors of the live tiles? Because the colors that came with the OS are, let's say, short haha

Ah... yeah, I really wish I could set the ringer volume independently of the music-and-so-forth volume. BTW, alarms will always (by design) start at low volume, then get louder over the course of about a minute. I tend to set the base volume high before going to bed anyhow, but I've forgotten to a couple of times and it still wakes me up within a very short time.
Adding custom accent colors is another thing that requires registry access. In theory, there's a registry editor built into the EM app. So far as I know, nobody has gotten it to work, though. It's a real pity, that is; with a built-in regedit, the phone could easily be dev- and interop-unlocked, opening up a lot of homebrew potential.

that's too bad :s well i guess i have to live with that. The same thing happen to me with the alarms haha so i guess i have to live with that too xD
I'm starting to hate wp7 -.- i think an iphone has less limitation than wp . I'm going to use this phone for a while but in the end i'm sure i will get back on android, or maybe i will use both phone, i don't know.
Thank's for the reply that solve my doubt's

Semi-Perm fix (no patch) for random sound change from clear to muffled/bass and back.

Thanks to @cstark27 for the Magisk Mod, and @S8rooted&tooted for troubleshooting a non-patch fix.
So there's an issue with our phones that makes the sound either sound clear, muffled (some call it bass heavy), and then it changes back and forth seemingly randomly. There are three things you can try without using the Magisk Mod, and all three seem to work with one that I personally found to work the best.
1. If you're playing YouTube videos you can pause/play the video. This seems to change the sound either way depending on how it sounds before pausing.
2. Raise volume to 100%, and then back down to where you want it. This seems to be consistent to have the sound be clear without the muffled bass sound.
3. (This is the best for me) Turn off any equalizers any apps have, and only have Google Play Music's equalizer on, and set to Normal without Bass boost or Surround sound on (as in the screenshot). There is a chance something starts the randomness again, and I found the best solution is to reboot, and then it will be good again for a good while (hence the title "Semi-Perm").
I've been using number 3 testing it in all apps I can think of that has sound/music from games to YouTube to simple apps that just make a click (even clicks can be different when the sound changes overall). I have yet to hear any sound change to muffled/bass, and even the top and bottom speakers seem even again. Pausing/playing, raising sound to 100% then back down, the sound is consistently clear.
Here's two links to the other thread with the Magisk Mod, so you can try either of these three methods, or try the Magisk Mod. Hopefully Google will sort it out when they release next months update/fixes.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79294970&postcount=15
PS - Another great step to take is to submit feedback through your phone if you have this issue. I've done it myself, so if Google keeps getting feedback, hopefully they will take quicker action.

I think I found the main trigger. It may be known already, but I just put the pieces together. Since if the sound gets muffled, and turning the volume to 100% then back down via the physical volume buttons, and the sound gets clear again, I decided to test how long the volume stays clear after a reboot since a reboot always seemed to produce clear sounds every time. It seems to be steady clear through all apps, videos, and sounds as long as I don't touch the physical volume buttons. The moment I change the volume via the physical buttons my sound starts acting up. Say I'm in an app, and I want to change the media volume. Well if I use the physical buttons of course the volume changes, but like I said the sound suddenly becomes unstable, and I notice the change from clear to muffled soon after, but if I use the volume sliders through the settings section I never have an issue. I did it a couple of times, and it's been very consistent, so now I just use a shortcut on my homescreen to adjust the volumes, and never touch the physical keys. For those having this issue please report back if you try these methods, so hopefully Google can patch it sooner rather than later.

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/3551881

Found another trigger. All was fine for over a day without touching the physical volume buttons, and then I received a call. Took the call (didn't touch volume), and once the call was complete the next app I opened had he muffled sound. Same app I used tens of times since last rebooting. Rebooted again, and all is good again.
So far: Physical volume buttons, and voice calls are two triggers.

I've been keeping my eye on this thread, and came across a poster who said they "fixed" the issue by uninstalling the Phone app updates, and then reinstalling it. I've tried so many things that I almost gave up, but for three days now I haven't had the issue even after several calls. I haven't rebooted yet, so I don't know if it will stay "fixed" (I'm using quotes since I don't really know if it truly is fixed for good). The funny thing is I went to say thank you to the poster, but their post somehow is now gone. I don't know if they removed it, or a mod did, but the "fix" seems to work.

Well this worked for several day, but I was watching YouTube, and had a phone call come in, and the issue came back. Retrying the "fix" didn't seem to work again. I deleted updates from Phone and YouTube, but I still get the issue. The only reliable temp fix is to reboot, and it seems good until a call comes in. Luckily I don't have that many calls, so sometimes I can go a day or so with good sound all around.
On a positive note I tweeted at Made by Google about this, and they replied saying that's not what they want users to have, and to DM them, so hopefully it will lead to a real fix by Google.

I think the random sound change isnt a bug, its automatic presets based on what type of sound it is, like sound for phone, sound notifications, different types of music etc etc.

Right, but there is a bug because the phone will apply the Phone app sound/bass to YouTube, but if you pause/play it, or turn the volume up to 100%, and then back down, the bass goes away. I agree with having presets, but they shouldn't mix/match when they feel like.

Since Google doesn't seem to care about this phone, or this issue, or their customers who bought it, as they haven't even bothered to acknowledge that it is happening I've trying all kinds of things, and keeping track of when it happens most. The latest "fix" that seems to be consistent is keep the in-call volume at 100%. Usually I keep it one notch down, but I was on a call two days ago, and had to turn up the sound to 100%. I forgot to turn it back down after the call, but ever since I haven't had the issue where the sound randomly changes from clear to muffled/bass. I've had sever calls since, and all is still good. I know when none of the volume controls are at 100%, and you get the issue, you can "fix" it by turning the regular volume to 100%, and then back down. So my theory is since the call volume is always at 100%, it is keeping the sound switching at bay.
I still can't believe after more than six months Google treats their customers so badly after paying $1000 (I did since I pre-ordered it). "Here buy our over priced phone now that will soon be half the cost, and then don't expect fixes for issues." Thanks Google.

I see what you mean, kind of gets tangled up in itself as it doesnt switch fast enough between the presets, when i get notification after notification really fast the phone the phone gets confused.
Its defo googles ai, i remember this bug from way back.
