Scratchy sound from speaker/headphones - Samsung Mesmerize

I have just started noticing this a couple of days ago. When i am playing music from the speaker or headphones i hear a scratching/popping sound when: i use the touch screen, turn the screen on and off, pretty toggle mobile data. I am running heinz 57. Has anyone else had this problem?

mine started doing this after I switched to cm7. that's weird, I had assumed it was related to the general instability of gingerbread but if it's happening to h57 people then we have a different problem.

Yeah me either. Youtube and pandora play fine on both mine and my wifes phone and we have same setup other then theme. Heinz and Imnuts 100 Kernel. I use ulitmate honey comb and she uses blue steel.
Tap-a-Talked

I would get feedback when using the puzzle answer option in heinz. Disabled, now it's gone away.
If you have it, check your voodoo control app. Make sure that the main amp is set to 3dB, not 5. 5dB makes it sound bad and may permanently damage your speaker.
Just some ideas.

I did not know this, I have been having this problem also. I exclusively use earbuds with my phone, so I hope that the speaker wouldn't be damaged.

Missing calls?

I'm on ec10 pnp voodoo with green steel theme. I have noticed that I am missing calls with no notification. I get a voicemail notice without ever getting a phone call. Is anyone else getting this? Do I need to re flash ec10?

I have the same set-up and don't have any issues. What version of the voodoo are you running? I have jts

3_27 ulv kernel, off the top of my head I believe it was from fascinate but generic enough to use on mesmerize. it seems random though. I've got two bars and 3g coverage. I would love to try the miui alpha but need mms

I had that same issue when I was running that kernel, although I only used that kernel for a couple of days. On three seperate occasions I would look down and see that I had a voicemail but nothing to indicate that I had missed a call. Could just be a coincidence but I thought I would throw it out there.

This is a known issue with the showcase. Mesmerize users might be encountering the same problem.
Noted in original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015599
Friend of mine is having this issue. He is on stock 2.2
I think its pretty common all around on the showcase. I have a close friend who has a high call volume and he has 5-10 calls a day (that he knows of from voice mails) that never ring his phone. Have flashed multiple roms, had voicemail pickup time extended, tried several reboots a day. Nothing seems to help.

[Q] Phone call issues!

I can't get my phone to let the others hear me unless i put it on speakerphone first, and then turn the speaker phone off! I am having this issue in so Two of the Roms that i wanted to keep using........Octane 2.x and Valhalla!!
And ideas of what this may be?
It's a sprint issue. My ns4g had been this way all day. also my girlfriends evo.

The that worked before i flashed to either Valhalla or Octane was Black Ice Voodoo from Krylon360
here is all i could find
http://androidforums.com/incredible...people-cant-hear-me-without-speakerphone.html
so what this states is that some have success with factory reset, and/or clearing the caches several times. or it could be an app, try simply simple rom.
could be an app, some say problem with head phone jack and suggest to clean "There was an issue with the headphone jack. Take a set of headphones (ear buds) and dip the plug into some alcohol. Slide the plug in and out of the jack several times. Wipe the plug and repeat."
'This happens to me when i unplug the headphones without exiting music player remix first. To fix, I restart the musicplayer, plug them in, exit the program, unplug.
The thread "stuck in headset mode" talks about the other variations of the problem."
or an app, like voice recorder is set on it to automatically turn on speaker phone.
so if still having problems after all this then its a hw problem, so fix go to t-mobile or put speaker phone on all the time by using voice recorder app. you have to look into how to do that. i hope i help some what.

Ok, I don't know if you have a voodoo kernel but I fixed mine by unchecking hi-fi recording in the voodoo control app. I guess it's a bug with voodoo on some kernels.

g2x speakers playing simultaneously? ?

Try reporting it in the Hellfire Phoenix thread and see what the dev says, I don't think one of those speakers is a mic, that's the way it was on the iPhone, but the mic seems to be just a little hole. Pretty sure those are both speakers.
I don't know though, I'm no expert. When you flashed, did you wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system beforehand? If not you were bound to have problems anyway, try that and reflash, don't restore any of your apps and see if the problem persists, if it does we can go two ways from here. First would be to see if you got a bad download, re download the zip and put it on your SD card, and make sure not to use CWM to transfer files, and also make sure to NVFlash CWM as just flashing it through ROM Manager is not safe.
If all else fails, use a different ROM and report the problem to the developer.
I've done all these steps numerous times and still same problem. Also I looked it up, checked with my friends who have the same phone, and talked to T-Mobile service reps and they all say it the the left one is the mic and that they aren't supposed to play together. But I would ask on the devs thread but I don't have that permission yet because I haven't made 10 posts yet. I know its the Tom because I followed the instructions exactly, I even waited 10 mins before moving of like he says to do. Also I went back to weapon g2x and the problem was solved.

Could you make a video of this?! That's actually kinda cool! Do you have any issues when using speakerphone?
I've used speaker phone maybe once. I'm on CM9 sk3. Using Power Amp I put my thumb over one speaker and that muffles the sound, move it over the other and the sound is muffled the same amount. If I were getting sound only from one at the most, and likely would get the opposite effect since the reverberance would be focused more, there would only be a slight difference when covering the non-functioning speaker.
Don't know what to say about a video, you won't see me covering the speakers, I have no webcam to record me.
Edit: also running Faux B4

headphones help

my G2x is acting weird. or it's acting like it should and i don't like it...one of the two. lol
either way, i'm a night time security guard, so i use headphones to listen to music and/or audiobooks while i'm working. thing is, i also use the alarm on my phone in 15 minute increments to make sure i'm awake. my alarm sound won't play through my headphones. and for some reason, my notification sounds play in my headphones AND my phone speaker.
q: is there a way to get ALL audio through the headphones instead? i fell asleep on shift the other night cause i didn't hear the alarm go off cause the phone was in my pocket while the headphones were in my ear.
please help.
no one knows?
Is this the first time its happened? Or has it always done this?

Try a different alarm app from the market? Ive never used one besides the stock one but its worth a try.

For as long as ive had the phone. Im on stock 2.3 and rooted.
I'm using the alarm from the stock clock app.
That's the way the stock rom is. Download a CM7 based rom, I recommend EaglesBlood, and in CM Settings, you get an option to where to play ringtones, notifications, and alarms (either through speaker, headphones, or both).

CM7/MIUI low microphone gain permanent fix/solution

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has found any solution to overcome the CM7/MIUI low microphone gain issue during voice calls?
The other party on the line barely can hear me during voice calls.
Have searched a lot and haven't found any fix except for the hit mute/unmute during call to temporary (only applies to that call) fix the problem.
Is there any other solution, like replacing system audio driver files from stock/other ROM to fix the low microphone gain issue permanently (well, at least till the next flashing)?
Never had any issue on stock Froyo or Gingerbread. However, not intent to return to stock due to this issue.
I'm on the July 15 baseband with Wind mobile in Canada. Currently using MIUI 2.3.2 with Faux123 048 kernel. Tried stock CM7, Trinity kernels, no go.
My wife has the same phone/system, however she is still on the June baseband. Same low Mic issue applies to hers as well.
Any input is greatly appreciated!

I would love for something as well, this issue seems to be out there for some others phones as well on CM7, i believe their intentions were to reduce background noise. Either way, if anyone steps in that'd be great. I have searched through build props, and system folders looking for anything that says "mic" I got nothing lol. If anyone has any thing they think I should search through I have time today so give me any ideas.

Couldn't agree more! I found as well that it has something to do with CM7's reduced microphone gain values to prevent voice distortion. Read about library file libaudio.so might as well "involved".
It is not that significant, however I'm using the phone frequently for voice calls and always mute/unmute is a little annoying.
I customized, fine tuned everything else to my needs and if this thing would finally get sorted as well i could lay back and fully enjoy my device (kidding, still would messing around with flashing around).

Exactly my thoughts, that's my only true complaint about CM7. People don't seem to realize it though I don't know if they are the type that always talk loud or what lol... but I definitely noticed and know its true cause I restored my 2.2 left my self a voicemail & recorded with voice record... and then went CM7 and left a voicemail and voice recording and it was crazy different playing through speakers and through earpiece. So I don't know what else to do....

yup, I tried GetRIL and tried all the different RILs (rebooting after installing each) and no difference. It's definitely something in the CM code. Somehow it doesnt react well with this phone's mic setup.
hope it gets fixed cause i'm never going back to stock.... soooo slow

Hi mt3g,
Read that you're using ICS. Just wondering if you feel any improvement mic/voice-wise compared to CM7? If so, which kernel are you using it with?
Thanks in advance for your input!

Part of this problem is the ROM and part of it is the kernel. CyanogenMod had this really bad at one point and they fixed it a little with a kernel tweak and then improved it a little more with a change in some of the audio drivers. So, it is hard to get it right. I have not really ever had this problem and I have been running MIUI GB based with the Trinity Kernel by Morfic (if that helps anyone).
Ya all of what I presumed it seems to be a hit or miss but it isn't just the g2x, which made me believe that it really is an issue even though people don't have it. I don't talk loud on the phone but maybe I need to start lol... either way willing to deal with it... p.s. I had the issue on all miui roms all kernels no matter what I tried.
