[Q] Sizzles/Noises/Pops come from speaker when it in use - LG Optimus 3D

Hi guys. I searched threads but I couldnt find an exact solution.
I noticed " pop and sizzling" when speaker in use. Did you notice that ? Not key pressing , not touching, only when speaker gets in use like playing music playing video, typing etc.(even in mute) I know a little sizzle is OK but this is to much and easy to notice.
I am sure this is not a H/W issue because i am used my O3D for about 2 years with Froyo and GB and there wasn't any pops and sizzles to notice. But I flashed ICS and there it is. Re-flashed to GB and no pops. I am on ICS now... It may accur by kernel or setting of levels/gain etc.. My opinion is , setting up these settings may fix my problem. So if someone helps me a little about it (sounds settings-test menu-gain whatever it is) I will be happy..
Also i will try stock GB sound levels on ICS if i can find values.
Sincerely.

Yes I had this problem. Especially it was annoying when I was using it during the night. Short buzzing sounds, sometimes stopped and sometimes started again. Mine's on ICS also.

Thank for answer. I have another question. I had poor touchscreen experience with v30a . Otherwise v21e is always perfect with that. Im on v21e because of that. Have you ever had that issue? If so , did you solve it?

Intermittent problem with sound during phonecalls. Please help! :(

The symptoms: SOMETIMES during incoming phonecalls Raphael rings (plays sound) but when I pick up the call, suddenly the phone sort of "mutes itself". I can't hear the person talking, nor can they hear me, even if I hang up and try later. The only thing that helps is a soft reset.
It's difficult to count the occurence, but I'd say like once a day at least.
I have already tried Hard reset, the phone is acting funny with only Advanced Config 3.1 and PHM RegEdit installed and a few tweaks applied (just Boost TFL3D performance tweaks and SMS conversation disabled)
I'm running stock 1.90.401.1 WWE FW, I have flashed a new radio version (1.02.25.31 Cingular) though.
Any advice/suggestion is appreciated.
Unless the new radio is giving you 3G, I'd go back to the stock ROM/radio combination and see if that works. I'm currently using the Cingular ROM/radio as well and I've never run into these problems, but that may be due to different hardware.
Thank you very much for a quick reply.
I'll try flashing the stock radio and will report back...
So, I flashed the original radio and it seemed for a while that the problem was gone.
Sadly, I must report that the problem is persistant as I had to restart my phone right now. When the "sound mute" thing happens I don't hear anything while answering phone calls (even though the phone rings normally!) and also when I try calling any number from my contacts including the operator hotline.
I really don't want to return the phone because I like it very much but having a phone which has problems with phone calls is kind of silly.
I'm at my wit's end.
Will anyone help me please?
I have a small update - today I was so desperate, that I tried flashing a custom ROM (namely DCS-TouchPro-v1.0 Hybrid) and the phone went bonkers right at the first incoming call. However, something IS different - now the phone is not silent but starts "buzzing" - making a long uninterruptible sound that lasts until reset.
Do you think I could have a HW problem?
I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM!!!
I already posted a message in the "Issues" post of the Raphael Forum, but apparently no one had the same issue so far.
I did many hard resets (and installing gradually less things), it still bugs.
Currently the only tweak installed is the scorpion one to have 4 rows of icons in a menu.
My Raphael is behaving like this since 1 week. The bug occurs once or twice a day as well.
Anybody with some good IT experience has got an idea of what could be wrong with it?
Do you think it is more software related or hardware related?
Today it also crashed badly (grey doted screen and noway to make it work again by turning off. Had to soft reset).
PLEASE DO HELP US, because I'm using the phone for professional reasons and I'll really have to send it back if it keeps on bugging this badely!!!
I just sent a message to HTC Support.
Let's see what they say.
I'll post their response so those who have the same problem will know what to do.
Oh boy, I must say I'm glad not to be the only one with this problem, even though I never wish bad things to anyone.
While googling the problem, I found a few Diamond users with exactly the same symptoms, however most of them solved this by exchanging the device for a new one, so this won't help us much...
Me too, I was wondering if it was because I did something wrong with the phone...
But if I'm not the only it means that there is a problem with the phone itself.
Anyway I'll wait for the official answer from HTC...
I'll post their answer as soon as I receive it.
I'm actually quite curious what their answer will be.
But I wouldn't hold my breath for any miracle, so I'm preparing to send my phone to the service center to have them look at it...
Well.. that makes 3 of us then
at first i thought my symptoms are different, but Flippy confirmed they're identical.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2611523#post2611523
I have to correct myself - I wrote that when the thing happens, the phone still rings, which is not true. It rings just the first time before the problem occurs, but then it's dead silent.
So it seems our symptoms really are exactly the same.
Told ya AntiProxy!
So we are indeed only 3. It is still ok, it means that there is only a very small proportion of of Touch Pro that have this problem.
Now let's only wait HTC's answer...
spoke to HTC support today.
not that i expected them to figure it out or have a solution at hand, but i figured what the heck.. give it a shot.
their solution?
hard reset.. the guy would swear by his daughter that a hard reset will solve it.
i just thanked him and hung up.. *sigh*
don't you just hate it when techsupport's solution to everything is a reboot or reformat.. when you know that's not the solution anyway!
Well, I tried already doing the "Clear Storage" through the settings -> system panel, but it still has got the same problem.
I'll give them a call aswell to see if by any chance I can get on the phone 1 person who will be able to provide us a better technical advice
Hard reset won't help, I've already done it like dozen times and it makes no difference...
I tried flashing the phone to the stock 1.90.405.1 ROM and so far (a day and half) I have NOT encountered the problem. It is too early to start hoping, but I wanted to let you know - if you don't mind flashing your phone, give it a try.
Zillator, can you keep us posted for like 1 week?
If in 1 week the phone doesn't present again that problem I'll flash it as well (I didn't want to flash it because I wasn't sure if it could void the warranty). If during 1 week you don't have the problem again it'll mean that out initial ROM was defective...
Thank you Zillator and please let us know. (by the way when I'll call them tomorrow I'll ask them if flashing the ROM to a newer stock version voids the warranty).

AntiProxy, it might be a bug in the ROM we have in our machines. That's why maybe flash it could be the solution. Nevertheless I'll ask about the warranty tomorrow when I call them and let's see how it goes to Zillator.
If his phone doesn't bug for 1 week, there might be a big probability that the problem came indeed from our ROMs.
Guys, don't worry, I WILL keep you updated. I know how much the problem bothers me, so if there's anything I can do to help you, I will definitely do it.
In the end, that's why we are here - to help each other...
AntiProxy: is your stock ROM 1.90.405.1 WWE? Because mine was different (1.90.401.1 WWE) and I had the problem. Maybe Flippy_TK is right and the problem only exists in the 401 ROM.
I'll continue testing and we'll see...

[Q] The Shyest Little Phone

My phone seems to be shy. The volume on notifications and rings is so quiet as to not disturb an ants slumber.
I have cranked the sliders that (supposedly control) this setting within the sound menu all the way to the top. At that level the sound is about 1/4 of what it used to be.
Does anyone have any idea what I may have done? I am using infused 1.5.3 with the default kernel and modem. Perhaps the speaker has gone to pot...but I wonder if there is some software solutions I might try.
Thanks for your consideration.
Hmm... Could be that your speaker decided to randomly go out... Never had that happened before, so I don't know what to say. :/
Sent from the big bad Infuse. :3
You could try flashing to stock and see if the problem persists. If it does, your speaker may have blown or something. Haven't seen anyone else report an issue like this.

I was on another thread a while ago and i had seen that someone had thos issue after rebooting several times at stock it finaly started to work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
The problem seems to stem from something in the VooDoo controls. If I chug the analog gain thingy all the way up...it works as expected.
IDK why. I know VooDoo is only supposed to affect headphone usage. Three trials can't be wrong though. (or maybe they can...either way its persistent)

[Q] Mic not working on HTC Sensation?

Has anyone else been having trouble with the mic? Sometimes when I try to do a voice search my phone doesn't hear me. Nothing to do with noisy environment or anything...just doesn't seem to be on or something.
Recently I installed Vlingo since they finally fixed it for the Sensation. At first it worked fine. Then the next time I tried it I got nothing. When I started a search manually, Vlingo has a sound meter-like graphic and it was like it was picking up lots of noise! Normally, this meter would have nothing visible until you speak but it was as if it was picking up lots of noise or something.
It seems random when my mic seems to fail or not.
Anyone have any ideas???
Hmm, not quite sure what is wrong, this phone is cool, but has all sorts of problems...
I hear HTC is good about replacing your phone though, shoot HTC an email, or call them, I've heard they are very nice about hooking people up with a brand new one at no cost.
May as well try it!
(Please hit thanks if I helped you! Just takes a second!)
I had the same experience with Vlingo recently. Love the app, but they haven't seemed to work out all the bugs. Are you on stock or custom ROM?
Stock T-Mobile. I wonder if it's a Vlingo thing?
I have other issues with the phone (Sense 3.0 keeps rebooting, etc.) but I guess that's for another thread...me too. Love the phone but...

Sorry to drag up an old thread but did you ever find a solution to this? I seem to be having a similar problem with my microphone but I'm not even using Vlingo...

[Q] Sensation XE sound stutter/skipping

Hey guys,
since a few days my Sensation XE has some random wierd sound issues. Its nearly the same as the sound issue on the HTC One X ,which got fixxed by a hotfix (i think today or few days ago) by HTC ota update.
I found a thread in the One X forum, which explains it really well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584053
A hard reset wasnt helping either. It still has this sound bug.
I am running Sensation XE stock Rom with Sense 3.6 and ICS 4.0.3 with T-mobile as carrier.
Is this a common problem on the XE and is there a fix for this?
Its really hard to hear any music, because this stutter is really hurting my ears sometimes.
The HTC support told me to get use of the garanty, because they have no idea.
I would likely stay at stock ROM if this is possible, because i am a big noob to Android Phones and rooting and i dont want to mess things up.
with regards
Mydy
[EDIT] Its not Beats Audio. If i disable it nothing changes. Sound bug is still there. I am using stock music app. Using PowerAmp hasnt helped either.
So i am still here and i didnt find a solution.
I tested this problem with an other SD card, but the problem is still there.
I am now also considering to root my phone, if someone knows if it will fix it (maybe because it is a known bug with Sense 3.6)
P.S: help me

You can give it a try if you feel crafty!
I will give it a try =)

i will post more if i know more
So... I tryed this method in a different way. at first i used the musicplayer without a backcover. Soundbug still there.
Good thing i had two different backcovers for my sensation i exchanged my backcover with a new one. Soundbug still there.
The next day i tried hearing some music (i thought i would get the soundbug like i did before). But i DIDN'T! It is completly gone now. I dont know why. I had the bug with exchanging the backcover. Then over the night it was gone. I still believe that this bug is still there in a weird way, but maybe i am just a bid paranoid >_>
But i am still thinking that something is wrong with my phone.
Now some of my pictures i had on my phone are getting distorted, like half of the picture is green and a bid shifted.

Volume goes away after phone calls

Anyone know waht is causing the volume level to go WAY down after I place, or receive a phone call. I love the phone very much but this is driving me crazy! I'm on T-Mobile which is working fine. I have to use the Digits app at home to make calls. But no mater if I use Digits or not, if I make or receive a call the loudness of anything on the phone basically goes away. System sounds, YouTube, Iheart radio.... Anything that uses the speakers looses all volume. I have to reboot to get it back. Pretty annoying
I am facing the same problem. It just started to happen this week.
Clearly it's boring! if your device is rooted with magisk try viper4android it's magic, believe me !
Im having a similar problem and started to notice it few days ago, mainly because I am 85% of the time using the phone on vibration only.
I don't know exactly what OP means with "goes away", if this means that the volume is low (ringing or playing music) but the controls are still to the top, then yes I'm facing it too, but, what is really strange is that for me, just the top speaker have sound, while the bottom speaker is really low.
I managed to figure out that if I cover the top speaker with my finger without "pressure" or trying to squash it, the bottom speaker start "working" again. Im lost with this situation.
Sounds like a messed up mixer math or possibly audio mod that is messing it up

Could be a botched firmware. Be my guess. Iv flashed many roms and official firmware and never had this issue. Have you tried flash tool or the new flasher?

No, I never flash this phone before, just the automatic updates. All is stock.
Ahhh then one of the updates got messed. Sony must of messed something up. Flashed an older, firmware, different region firmware or hope for a patch from aony
No one else with this problem?
this just happened to me but after listening to spotify any way to fix this?
