For those who already have a One S, do you also have a contact noise in the background when you're talking to someone on the phone?
It gets louder if you turn up the volume and it is pretty annoying. Am I the only one having this problem?
What could be the reasons for this?

Did you check the review from the link here?

No complaints from the guy who reviewed it there. How is the battery life on the device though? Any other complaints you got? I'm considering getting one soon.

In comparison to my hd2 it has a better battery life. I would say about 6-8 h online time. The only disturbing thing I found so far is the noise when calling someone.
The processor is devilishly good, everything is smooth and fast. Also it fits perfect in the hand, not too big and not too small either.

What type of usage are you talking about where you are getting only 6-8 hours?

6-8 hours immense browsing with the phone. After that I have to recharge the battery, but not sure yet.
After 15 hours (about 30 mins using internet, most of this time in standby) I still got 75% of battery life.
I have 53% battery life after 24h not charging.
I used it for some surfing, sync, whatsapp, facebook and some other apps most time in wlan. 8h was completely standby, the rest was a mix of using and standby.
My first impression is, that the battery has an acceptable life.
That seems to be decent, though I do wonder how it'll be once it's all settled in, but back on topic. Do you still get that sound while using the headset or a bluetooth? Related to this, but is it just you or does the other person hear it, it might be the mic (or does the One S have a dual mic setup?) backfeeding or something like that.

I have this problem too. It also feels like there are sometimes kind of interruptions in the conversation.
Haven't had a call yet...if the issue is there I hope it is a software bug. That can be fixed easily. I also hope they will get rid of that ugly on screen menu button and bring the htc sense blur live wallpaper back!
And the flip clock should always flip and not occasionally.
I received my replacement one s due to call quality issues and the new one is even worse. everyone says i sound like im in a tin can as my voice is SUPER muffled. they can hear when i start and stop talking but the words just arent sharp enough to hear anything. wtf is going on with this phone?
This can be operator issue.
Yup I've had that too. I get it about every time that I call a new number. Completely muffled and can't hear other side. But that might just be me sincevI'm convinced that my phone is completely defective.
I've noticed that my phone lags in basic tasks that even my mytouch 4G handled smoothly. It'll even freeze halfway through a song quite often. Not sure what's going on but I've had major performance problems with my One S even after a full reboot.
My battery dies in about 10 hours of mostly being on standby. I go to school so I listen to music for about a total time of an hour and half throughout the day.
I turn my Internet off, wifi off and Google location services off and still the same result.
Battery settings says it's mostly using the screen even though it's off for about 85% of my use... Anyone else?

The only thing that I can't complain about would be data speeds. I got 16mbps down last Friday night in Los Angeles. Pretty awesome.

I migrated over from a mt4g as well. The call quality on that thing was perfect. You might want to try and do an exchange on your one s because mine doesnt hang on basic tasks and ive been really surprised by the battery life in comparison to my mt4g. With some moderate morning use (some games, surfing, app downloads) and then forgetting to charge it afterwards my phone lasts on stand by from 9pm to 1pm the next day with some charge still left over. it sorta lags a tiny bit but nothing to complain about. the only game ive really played on it is temple run and it seems to glitch in the beginning a few times by freezing and continuing the game but it sort of fixes itself? My screen, like yours, is apparently always the culprit for battery time even though i have it set to auto brightness and have it so it turns off in 30 seconds.
the call quality is what i can't handle. this phone is great but if i can't make a phone call whats the point!? i'll be getting my 3rd replacement on monday =/
3rd? Wow. I had about 17 exchanges on the mytouch 4G (no joke) and was hoping that I wouldn't have to go through any on this phone. Was there anything special that you did with the phone? (ie charge before 1st use?). I'll probably just tell Tmo about the call quality and lag for them to exchange it. I hate that they won't take battery probs seriously and ask you to do a factory reset.

!! You sound like me. I lost count on how many returns I did on my mytouch4g. In fact... that's how I got my one s.
I b*tched and had so many returns they offered me whatever android I wanted (after threatening to cancel and not pay them sh*t and getting into an argument with their "customer loyalty" department when she tried to "upgrade" me by sending me a sidekick -_-) for free... so I waited until the release date of the one s and ordered it =3
Even though nothing too special must be done with these phones batteries I still let it get an entire charge before I started to play with it. The phone is perfect in every way and I honestly had no complaints until everyone I spoke to told me I sounded like I was muffled =/
My first phone - Everyone could hear me fine, i couldn't really hear them...everything was high pitched and muddy and buzzy sounding for me and it actually hurt my ears to talk to anyone
My second phone - The complete reverse. I can hear everyone fine but no one can hear me.
My third phone - I'll let you know... I'm stuck at work but I'll find out tonight.
(i still haven't sent any of my phones back in case todays phone is even worse.)
They don't take anything seriously -_- every time i call them I'm prepped for the argument because they never know wtf they're talking about. I always had to tell them "HEY...This is my 20th mytouch...CHECK MY ACCOUNT...(by then they just sit silently when they see i'm not lying)... i'm PRETTY SURE i know how to trouble shoot and reset my phone, no there isn't any water damage, so stop wasting my time and send me another phone so we can both get back to whatever the hell it was we were doing >_<" all of my rage.
EDIT:
Received my phone and the call quality isn't 100% but its SUCH an improvement from my other two devices. I'm keeping this one. It'll do. I can hear everyone (not as great as on my mytouch4g) fairly well without any muffled sounds and they can actually understand everything I'm saying. Finally! Definitely try and return your OneS.... i know it's a pain in the ass but it's worth it in the end =/

Haha yup I was offered a sidekick too! I will never know how in the world they find a sidekick a "comparable model" to the mytouch4g and not a Galaxy S 4g at least.
I called about an hour ago, they said my replacement will arrive on Wednesday. They charged me a $5 fee though. I'll definitely charge that one for at least 8 hours and hopefully get more than 4 hours of heavy use out of it.

Well I got my replacement Wednesday. Charged it for 13 hours and still have insanely weak battery life. Apart from that, my phone rebooted once while on my pocket and being unused. Then it was lagging during browser use and rebooted again. I'm pretty ticked off considering my mytouch experience with T-Mobile and HTC. At this point I might just return the phone, reverse my upgrade and cancel in November when my contract is up and I could get a good black Friday deal on whatever new iPhone Apple offers by then.

I have a normal quality whit stock rom. then i upgraded to maximushd and in call sound quality issues begin.
here is all i did, and no improvement until last step.
1. tried different radios. 1.13 and 1.15 and reflashing 1.20, no improvement
2. installed ElementalX 6.1 kernel and nothing
3. tried In-Call Quality Fix for Sense 5 here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482089
4. finally i tried flashing phone.apk from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46945481&postcount=1844
after 2 days, it seems the problem is solved.
My brother has a HOX, preordered from Radioshack and got his phone right before Apple went all Soup Nazi on HTC. He is not what I would call a power user. He does not root phones, load custom roms, or do much of anything other than use his phone. Today he told me that his battery is draining at an incredible rate. Down to 58% in less than 2 hours. He hasn't downloaded any apps or anything that would cause this problem. He called AT&T and their fix was sending him a new battery.....
Now, I might be a little on the slow side myself but I am pretty sure that it takes a very adventurous person to crack open this phone to replace the battery. I told him that he is getting the run around and that he should demand a replacement. He is past his 30 days but they should still do a warranty exchange. He said he will take it to an AT&T store when he gets the new battery and see what happens but I sure as heck would not trust some $8/hr lackey at a random at&t store ripping my phone apart. (no offense to those of you that work at an at&t store but if I don't feel like I could do it myself then I would want someone who is an expert doing it, not someone that is just collecting a check)
Am I the only one that thinks this is a terrible idea?

Considering that you have to take screws out and remove other components to GET to the battery, it's a horrible idea. I'll bet he gets a battery for a Vivid or some other phone.
They screwed up - someone at AT&T didn't realize you can't just swap the battery. They tried to offer me the same solution when I brought back the unit because of the battery drain issue, until I told them that you can't just swap the battery out.
Is your brother in an LTE area? Does he commute to work (subway) - or otherwise runs into issues where he loses signal for some time? That seems to be one of the biggest issues with the battery drain today - regaining lost LTE signal (after it being lost for a while).
Tell him to install Badass battery monitor. It will tell you what's draining the battery.

He lives in Houston, so yes he has LTE. No odd commute though, but the has had the phone for 2 months roughly and have good batter life up until two days ago. I don't think he has any issue with signal loss.

Lol clearly someone didn't realize that the battery isn't replaceable on a HOX.
Phone has a year warranty. I don't think the device support centers even have the HOX yet so to get his replacement he'll have to call 1-800-801-1101
They'll ship him out another one.

Every time I've called AT&T about the phone their android phone tech people (yeah sure they are), have always first told me to take the battery out of the phone. When I tell them I can't and its a one piece phone. Its as if they heard the word of God and their eyes were finally opened. It baffles how much some people just don't know. I've always been told by att to push volume up and power to reset the phone..

Guys, I would like to know if any of you are having the same experience that I am having right now.
My Samsung Galaxy S3 is overheating to a point that it can burn me a little if I have it inside my pocket.
Is this normal for a device that's not even rooted?
Some people told me to give it back but I would like to know first, cause I seriously hate talking to these people from the help desk.
Any help will be appreciated
Dunno - i've been playing a lot of games ( glwg, asphalt 7, shadowgun etc...) web browsing, pdf editing and viewing and generally using it for what it can do.
Haven't had any overheating problems in the few weeks i've had it, been using that way both in an otterbox defender and naked.
I've seen here and there others mentioning overheating issues but i've yet to experience them firsthand.
My last device suffered some painful to the touch overheating issues which were completely solved by ditching the stock battery and going with an aftermarket one. I've also seen some reference to this being a fix here too.
Not having overheating issues and having been pleasantly surprised with the life of the stock battery for the screen size of the device, I haven't gone aftermarket yet so can't give a firsthand account of how that helps, if at all, but figured i'd toss out what little i've seen so far.
I haven't had any major battery issues until this weekend. I used Google Navigation for 4 hours in the car while charging. I was only 10 – 15 minutes away from my destination when my phone shut itself off...when I needed it most! I tried rebooting...nothing.
I haven't experienced any issues with my S3. However on my previous Galaxy Nexus I did, once the cause was a bad rom/kernel combination the other time later on the battery just gave up on me. I called Verizon and asked for a battery replacement...I told them that I have used another battery of my wife's phone since she owned the same device at the time and with her battery the phone would work just fine without over-heating. The Verizon support guy sent me an extended battery for the inconvenience. I'm always lucky Verizon. Hope this helps.
I have.....not really concerned...bc i had that same problem with my og evo 4g and 3d......

When you sell over 10 million of them a few are bound to be bad (heck 1% failure rate gives 100,000 bad batteries). That said it doesn't seem to be a common problem so I would definitely hold out for a free (to you) replacement.
I find my phone gets hot when I'm in low service areas.. I would venture to guess it's a radio issue..

During about a 10 min email \ web visit with my S3 after a workout, I noticed that the phone was physically hot, to the point I thought it might be too hot. This, coupled with a "no sim" message today, at random, and some crappy battery life, is driving me to visit the local verizon store tomorrow and get it exchanged, just in case. (still in the 14 day window)
Will let you know if it's any better for me.
This is a common problem?

The "no sim" message is, but I can't seem to find a real fix that will work in the US yet. I have seen cell towers blamed to sim cards not being clean to wifi screwing with things. So, I am not sure what really is the root of the problem.
With regards to heat, not sure. It feels like it's hotter than it should be, with normal use. Hotter than my iPad gets with constant use.
I only feel my phone getting slightly warm after playing games for a while. But that happened with my last two smartphones so I'm not really concerned. About as warm as my DInc2 and nowhere near as hot as my LG smartphone.

hell my screen just whent out, 2nd s3 i know thats done that. mine and my brother n laws.
No problems here running latest cm10.
I exchanged my initial S3 today at the local Verizon store. I explained it was running hot, the battery life was abysmal, and I had the dreaded "no sim". The salesman and manager started to explain to me there was an update and they couldn't fix it... for about five minutes, until I asked if they could explain how the 14 day return policy worked. They immediately said mine was DOA and would be happy to give me a new phone. Five minutes after I got home from the store, I got a "no sim" message... starting to think its definitely a cell tower \ verizon software issue. Oddly enough, my battery drain is a lot better, so it wasn't all for naught!
My phone does get pretty warm at school, but I chalk that up to having terrible service while indoors. Other than that, it doesn't get that hot.
Is anyone having their phone heat up a lot while on a phone call?
Sometimes while the phone is in my pocket my leg starts to sweat due to the phone getting that hot. I just got a case but that only cuts the heat in half(but still hot).

I picked up my Samsung Galaxy S6 and yes, it heats up abnormally..and it does it fairly quickly. I can hardly hold it to my ear while talking because of the heat.
Thought I was the only one with the issue for a bit.. the longer the phone call the hotter it gets.
OH man here we goooo
portable frying pan make sure you carry eggs and bacon with you at all times lol
Well try it your self if you think we are kidding.. get in a 10+min phone call and feel as it gets hotter
I will try to recreate this when I get back home. My guess is that it has something to do with the volte.

Ok, I have Sprint...but I doubt the heating issue is carrier specific Just run a simple Speedtest 8-10 times and you will see your phone heating up. If not, I need to go and get a new phone. This may be an isolated issue with a few phones.
My phone is from tmobile so maybe it's not related to specific carrier models
I'm on Sprint and my G6 gets super hot as well....... Why is it anytime I get a new phone, it has issues? Ughh..... And I'm coming from a Nexus 6
Interesting, I do not see any other site reporting this issue yet. Probably they will report it on Friday when more people will get the phone in their hands. And yes, it sucks that much anticipated galaxy 6 heats up so much.

Heating is common, I remember my galaxy s3 heating upto 50 deg in summer while browsing or heavy use. I got a nexus 6 last month and it had an uneven display, so I replaced it and the replacement had the same issue but not that severe. I returned it got back my money. Now I am planning to get the s6 tomorrow. The always flash on is a problem for me. Check out the forums many people are reporting their flash is always dimly lit. Heating isnt an issue, both my n6's would go upto 45 -48 on intensive use.

Not trying to troll, I apologize. It's just not real world usage running 10 speed tests in a row and then thinking there would be no heating of the device. Anytime you run a performance test is going to push the device to it's limit, you're downloading & uploading tons of data over and over at max speed

I believe he was meaning an internet speed test, but it happened to me from just starting my phone. It was so hot that it felt as if I could cook a burger on it, and I wasn't running anything. I will say that it does get warm now, but ever since the update it hasn't gotten that hot. Maybe that was part of the update, a voltage setting or something.

Yes there was an update pushed out for the tmobile version of the phone. I do not know if the other carriers got an update for that aswell.
Just did a non-VoLTE(HD) call test and the phone did not heat up . I cant test the VoLTE right now as I don't have anyone available to call. It could be an issue with Volte and I would have to take it to the store if I can reproduce the issue.
I would like to add that on first setup when I started downloading all my apps (did a NFC user swap), the phone got too hot to hold in my hand.
i am also on sprint i have noticed my device get really hot what should i do
When I was downloading my apps onto it the back got very warm but that's the only instance I've noticed so far.
Just want to report today I was in an HD voice call with the phone in my jeans pocket walking around and the phone overheated and did a self reboot. Might take my phone to T-Mobile to have them look at it.
overheating as well when listening to music... VZW
So, WHats up guys?
Finally jumped back on the Pixel train and got my 7 Pro last night. After all the fun updates i noticed that when i make a call now, there is a strange opening of a call with a tiny bit of static and then it goes to normal. Anyone else experience this? It doesn't hinder the call in any way, i just found it strange.
PSA
Absolutely loving the phone. Near 24hr after a charge with 24% left but i forgot to check SOT but im sure it was close to 6hrs which is good for me.
I did see one other post that was similar to this. I've never had that issue, and iirc nobody who replied to that post did either.

Hi Avid_droid.
Yes, you are not alone in this regard.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but my wife threw my cell phone from the table (half a meter more or less), and since then the following happens to me:
I make a call and I hear some interferences, something like "Clack clack", sometimes there are many, sometimes only 1 ... sometimes none ... it's very strange.
However, I think it has nothing to do with the drop... maybe it used to happen to me before and I didn't notice.
Sometimes I can go days without hearing that interference, and I think that everything is fine, but I hear it again. I have restored the phone several times and that does not solve anything.
Fortunately, it's not something that prevents me from making calls or using the phone normally, but when you spend a lot of money on a phone you get screwed by these things.
The bad thing about this is that I have read that if you talk to Google they will send you a refurbished phone, plus you will be 1 week or more with nothing.... I think I'll live with this problem (if it doesn't get worse).

Yeah it doesn't interfere with call or quality it's just odd right? It wasn't there yesterday and today it returned. I think maybe software issue cause I didn't experience it prior to updating.

Yes, it's not the end of the world, but I have to say I'm very disappointed with the overall call quality.
I have an old Huawei mate 20 that has much better call quality than the Pixel, .. and it's a 2018 phone!
Resignation.
Finally, and after a few days in which the problem was more frequent, I have decided to use the google warranty and return it for repair. I've upgraded to an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and I guess I'll sell the Pixel 7 Pro if it comes back repaired correctly.

I've been experiencing far more robotic voice calls the past couple days

From what I have read, it is ultimately a hardware failure and the only option is replacement.

I replaced my device the other day and best thing I did. No issues as of late.
I have to wait for my cell phone to arrive in POLAND (from Spain) and wait for it to come back... ****ing disgusting.

Exactly the same sound occurs to me sometimes just occasionally to remind me that it exists

So, WHats up guys?
Finally jumped back on the Pixel train and got my 7 Pro last night. After all the fun updates i noticed that when i make a call now, there is a strange opening of a call with a tiny bit of static and then it goes to normal. Anyone else experience this? It doesn't hinder the call in any way, i just found it strange.
PSA
Absolutely loving the phone. Near 24hr after a charge with 24% left but i forgot to check SOT but im sure it was close to 6hrs which is good for me.

Yes, mine does this as well. I've noticed it but not paid attention to it til i read this yesterday. I thought it was my Pixel Buds Pro (Which take FOREVER to connect when I take one out of the case to answer a call) - but today I'll try to use the phone itself to answer calls and see if it's still there

Sorry.. I think you are right about this.
I actually think the Pixel 7 Pro looks like a better phone to me than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but I bought one for a bit of a change of scenery.
I really regret it, I will surely return the iPhone 14 Pro Max if the Pixel 7 arrives repaired. I hope so.
After several days in RMA, Google has sent me an email telling me that the phone had an AUDIO problem and that it will be repaired.
Which seems strange to me because the audio in multimedia applications was perfect.... But well, when I have the phone in my hands I will tell you.
Well, the phone has arrived home. So far so good, although I have not tested it too much.
I will keep you informed.
EDIT :
After several calls, the problem continues. I'm throwing in the towel, I'm not going to go another week without a phone. As a bonus, I also have some dirt on the lenses, which I didn't have before.
I'll put up with this interference and strange noises on every call until I send the phone to hell in a few years.

May be a hardware issue. That's what it seemed like with mine. There is no static any more but the small pop is still there. Pop on my Buds Pro and issue is resolved. Now the watch is another piece of bad judgement. I'm on my second one and thank the creator they gave it to me for free. $349 for a watch that sounds like it has a badly blown speaker is hardly worth it. It does what I need it to do though, time and messages.

Latest news, Google is sending me a new terminal.
The truth is that I'm starting to be unconvinced about the purchase, and it is likely that I will end up buying an s23 ultra or similar.

For me now, there is nothing to complain of about the phone. I like mine. My wife has the 23U and I don't like it. It's slows way down and feels like a 60hz phone. Also with the load speeds, I don't like Sammy. I walk around all day withy Pixel 7 Pro and my 13 Pro Max everyday. Didnt like the esim thing either.
