[Q] Speaker Noise - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I REALLY don't know what this could be but every time I send/receive a message through WhatsApp, the phone speaker makes a little humming noise. Could be described more as if a little fan is on. When the message is sent/received, it stops. I don't think it's because it's wifi because I checked while browsing but it doesn't make any sound. The speaker works fine and everything sounds normal which makes it even more confusing. It makes this noise during vibrate (sound off) and even when normal sound is on.
Is my phone the only one like this? It doesn't really bother. I just would like to know why and how it happens.

May be it is the only sound that gives this feeling ??

Are you sure it's not the actual sound file that WhatsApp uses when it sends and receives a message?
I can't check as I'm using SGS2 and that may use a different sound to SGA.

No guys. I'm using Volume +. And I even turned it off to check if it still happened and it did, so I know it's not the app.

Sound file? You mean change the message ringtone? I've always used the same one and just noticed this problem. And it happens when the phone is on Vibrate.

How to turn off the Call Connect/ Call End Tone?

Does anyone know how to disable the "Call Status Tone" on the N1? Every time I make a phone call or answer a call, I have to wait to hear the beep before I can talk. It has driven me crazy since I got this phone. I was playing with my wife's Vibrant and came across the option to turn it call tone on or off in her Call Settings, but there is nothing of the sort on the N1.
Does anyone have any idea how to do it? I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks in advance!!!
Anyone?

Never even heard of this before.
Are you sure it's the phone, and not a third party app or something (like Google Voice)?

I am pretty sure it has been making the beep since I got the phone and it has happened with every ROM I have installed on the phone.
When a phone call connects, there is a 1 second pause then a beep, then I can start talking.
Am I the only one who has this happening?

Doesn't happen to me.
ive never run into this either, and ive had both tmo and att n1
ive got the vibrate after call answers thing turned on in cyanogen but no beep...
i you google voice and sometimes just call with my cell number too and no beep
when you say you get this across different roms, do you do a full wipe between roms?
if so i'd imagine its hardware
I finally figured it out today, it only happens when I am on my Jabra headset. It is fraking aggravating!!!
Does anyone know how to turn it off?
I'm pretty sure that's the headset doing it, not the phone.

Off to the Jabra forums you go.
Mines makes the same annoying sound overtime you make a call a tone plays in the speaker when it connects any ideas on how to turn this off? I just use the phone no headset etc
Either it's something your carrier does, or you've installed something that's causing it. It's not the phone.
thanks for the info

[Q] Do you hear a buzz sound from your phone?

Hello people. I have my phone over 7 months now and today I put it near my ear and notice a sound like a buzzzz. The strange thing is that the screen was off. it buzz like 10 seconds and than nothing. when I turn the screen on the buzz was still there. I notice that the sound is on when I`m browsing or using xda forum or market, anyway when the phone is in 3g mode. If I turn off 3g I don`t hear the buzz.
Do you notice this? Is there anyone with this problem? Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks
Never heard about this before.
Personally my phone makes absolutely no noise.
Does it also make the sound if you're in WiFi-mode rather than 3G?
Does the phone also vibrate while making the buzzing sound or only buzzes?
I don't know about wifi. It's like I can hear the traffic
The phone doesn't vibrate when i hear the buzz. It' s not like an error. The buzz is so slow that you can hear only when the phone is close to the ear like you are talking on it

never heard a noise from my phone.... i think you should go get it checked...
did you try to take the battery out and back in?
Doubt the buzzing is linked to anything software related.
If it's a problem it's definitely hardware related.
I would also get it checked out.
The buzz is not all the time. It's random.

I tested more and I notice the buzz only when I`m browsing xda, market, net. I turn 3g on but the buzz don`t start until i`m browsing. If I terminate the programs with taskmanager the buzz disapear. On wifi I have no buzz. Could be this because of the network?
I had something like this in my old phone, nokia n95
All the time I was hearing buzzz from the spiker
It dosen't metter, the phone works great

[Q] [B]péééééééééééééééép'[/B] - Very high pitched loud beep on speaker

6my\ laptop-/keyboard\ is\ broken\ \,\ please\ forgi5ve\ 6me\\ for\ all\ the\ errors
my laptop-keyboard is broken, please forgive me for all the errors
Hi all,
I still have a problem with sound-quality during a call.
When I put a call on speaker Ihear a very high-pitched loud béééééééééép.
It sounds a bit like what you get when you put a microfone next to a speaker that is transmitting sound from that speaker.
Everybody heras it, on the other side of the call it seems it even overwhelms my voice, effectively rendering a call impossible.
If I do not put a call on speaker I can speak with the person on the other side. But on the other side of the call it sounds as if my Phone is wrapped in blankets. Some described it different: "it sounds like you have put bass way up to the max and disabled all high- and mid-tones."
It sounds rather like a hardware-problem, BUT.... (and this is where I no longer understand it),
it does NOT happen with stock-ROmS...
It happened with JellyBam and Paranoid Android, does not happen with stock, ROmAUR or Experiment.
my conclusion is that it either is caused by cm10 or by JB (4.1.2).
Does anyone have any suggestions to as what Icould do at this stage_? Iam at this moment running ROmAUR but I really miss JB....
Grtz Henro.
Hi,
Whenever I put my phone on speaker while making a call, I hear this very high-pitched tone: péééééééééééééééép.
This sound is so high/loud that even colleagues in the office next to mine hear it. (And complain about it)
On the other side of the line it is heard too, people complain that they find it hard to have a conversation with me when I put the phone on speaker.
I am running Paranoid Android 2.56 Utacka (JB) now. The first day I had the phone it happened too, but I do not recall whether that was before or after PA 2.56 Utacka was installed.
It is only when I put a call on speaker. Games, music, video, recorde audio, it all runs fine. But as soon as I put a call on speker....
péééééééééééééééép'
Any suggestions?
Grtz Henrov
You are probably in a place where the mic or speakers are giving off feedback from another mic or speaker wherever you are.

The first time I was at work, alone in my office, calling my girlfriend while she was at home. ..
There was no other device around to create a loop. My laptop was still in it's bag...
I will however try again in a few moments when I walk the dog, there will be no device with a mic or speaker to disturb
Cannot reproduce it anymore. Maybe it was something in my environment...

Try to turn on noise suppression as well in dialer settings. Might help, maybe not.

How do you enable this in Jellybean?
Open up the dialer, chose settings, tick background noise suppression.
It is back. Consistently. I tried reinstalling, different roms, different volumes, different dialers, noise surpression...
Nada!
Last resort; try it on stock rom...

Collector title.
Sony Xperia T - Stock ROM - 4.1.2 Stock Leaked Launcher - Rooted soon.
So it seems cm10 related
I have been trying a lot of stuff and I m fairly sure now it happens on CM10 based ROMS.
Any one knows something about this? Suggestions?
Design faux par
I think it's down to the fact the speaker is right next to the mic on the phone. What [email protected] thought that one up. If you put your finger over the read speaker does it stop squeeling?
I'm not so sure that you could describe it as a faux pas. I often use the device on loudspeaker and actually never faced that problem, not on stock nor on CM. It seems to be either a) a different situation the device is used in (see below) or b) is device-specific which I somehow doubt.
I get the back coupling whining, but only if I'm on loudspeaker and the person I'm calling is in the same room, also on loudspeaker. Then my device picks up it's own echo on the other persons loudspeaker. But I believe this is not the case discussed in this thread as this would be the case with ANY communications device used in this setup, not only cellphones.
is there any solution for that?
with cm11 there is a whistle sound wwhen turn on loadspeaker . with the stock rom there is no whistle sound, but the caller hear it self twice .
what is going on with that phone?

Notifications Interrupt Music playback

Ever since the 4.2.1 update I've noticed an extremely obnoxious issue when listening to music. Texts and other notifications interrupt the music when using headphones or even the speaker. What's more annoying is that traditionally (this holds true on all android phones and iPhones I've ever owned) one simply puts the phone in either vibrate or silent mode and no more notifications interrupting your music. In Jelly Bean, it seems they forgot to implement this. Regardless of what sound profile I am in, silent, vibrate or normal my text tone comes through my headphones and interrupts the music.
Does anyone know a good way to fix this issue? Maybe a settings option I missed? Disabling text notifications ever time I listen to music would be a little ridiculous. I text while I listen to music all the time and it's highly annoying.
Easy, switch to airplane mode.

you don't need the music to stop to know a text has come in, as the OP said he wants a constructive fix for his issue not senseless comments which don't help the issue.
I would like to second the OP's Request, I have had this issue since ICS 4.0.4 where any notification will pause the music for a couple of seconds, this has been the HARDEST thing to get used to from my past life as devoted iPhone user. it is very frustrating, and I've noticed that I don't believe its OS related, but actually the individual application which deals with how the notifications interrupt.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes it's definitely not OS related, Its the way Sony handles it I guess.

I believe that Spotify does pause the music, along with the Walkman app, but I seam to remember a more niche player just lowering the volume for notifications.
unfortunately I don't believe this is something we as a community can fix, other than to recommend your application maker to update their app.

Which Xperia are you using? If it really becomes too big an issue, there is always the option of rooting and using a different ROM.

I'm using the T. But I have yet to use Poweramp and test it because it has a separate setting for notification focus. Yes I think a CM rom might fix it. But as of now I don't want CM coz stock is way better.

Do you use any type of equalizers/DSPs? the main cause for popping sounds is that the speaker is making too much vibrations. When you use a DSP, the increases the vibrations and when audio stops, the DAC will mute it, causing all vibrations to stop at once. The more vibrations, the louder the popping sound will be when the DAC mutes it.
If you don't use any DSPs, just disable the touch sound effect by going into Settings > Sound > (untick) Touch Sounds
If you get popping sounds on stock audio with or without Beats Audio enabled (Or when you are listening to music, playing games etc), it's best you get it checked out by someone because the pop sound is not noticeable with Stock or Beats Audio.
When I refresh email or similar, the refresh sound is followed by a pop after the refresh has finished. It's like the end of a sound file as you can hear white noise in between the refresh and the pop

Then something's really wrong here. You are on stock rom right? If so, I suggest you contact wherever you got the device from and see if they can do anything about it.
This pop sound is normal when using DSPs on speakers but it's not normal when you have it with all audio effects turned off...

Come to think of it, my old one x+ popped just looking at the home screen. Also you could hear the camera chugging away like it was taking pictures randomly. The ONE does this sometimes. Sneaky apps I suspect, using recording and picture taking to spy ??
