Has anyone noticed intermittent interference noise on their SGS internal speakers? It is a high-freq buzz that lasts less than 10 seconds at a time, but can easily be heard when holding the phone close. I hear it sometimes in a call or when transmitting data and it seems like it is coming from the rear speaker.
Edited for clarification: The noise is coming from the phone; specifically the speaker on the back of the phone, not from external speakers.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of noise coming from their SGS?

No one? I am certain now that the noise is coming from the rear speaker and it is not heard when wifi is on, so it must be interference from the 3g.

No one at all?

Yes, it's always been a thing that happens with phones.. I remember with early generations of phones, they'd always cause speakers to make a specific series of beeping noises when someone received an sms.
I think it's caused by using one of the older data connections.. gprs or something maybe. There's nothing that can change this.
Yes, I recall hearing the buzzing and popping on computer speakers caused by some phones. My question was specifically to do with hearing interference in the rear speaker on the phone itself, do you hear anything like that? I don't actually hear any interference on external speakers.

Oh, you mean the speaker on the actual phone? Umm, nope, it's always been quiet..
Doesn't sound like it should be doing that, if it's been like that since you got it, might want to send it in for a check or something.
I just checked a friends phone at it does the same thing. The best way to check is to start an app that transmits continuous data on 3g, like speed test. And when its running put the rear speaker close to your ear. You can also hear it out of the front earpiece in a quiet room. These are canadian gt9000m's.

Yeah, i noticed that aswell, usually when i make calls or take calls, for like 10 seconds, working on normal GT-I9000 here.
I'm wondering if this is a normal occurence, maybe they couldn't get enough shielding on that rear speaker.

Can anyone else verify that they can or cannot hear the buzzing? I am considering getting samsung warranty to look at it, but only if it's not a common phenomenon. Would hate to send it in and have or come back the same.
Thanks

Just an update, my phone was replaced due to the internal sd card issue and the new phone is exhibiting the same buzzing sound. Though the sound does seem somewhat quieter on this new phone. Unless I am extremely unlucky, it seems that the noise is normal for the phone but most people just don't notice it.

i heard the buzzing a few days ago and opened the back up and a bee flew out, ive not heard any buzzing since
sorry couldnt resist
same here.. found no solution yet.,... help
yes,i can hear it clearly...someone sad it named TDD noise which was caused by the GSM signal...if u use 3G,u may not hear it any more...
A few people in china found this problem too. They sad only the SGS produced in december had this problem...but it seems that u posted the thread in november....
re: december.
I have had 4 sgs's now (3 returns) that have had the noise, going back to september 2010.
re: gsm
My network here is 3g only, don't use gsm at all.

I also get the same thing with my phone as well, despite factory resets or exchanges thus far. Is this a normal problem?
So far, the noise disappears if you disable 3G in some way, either via turning off data or using Wi-Fi. I'm in Canada, where signals exist on 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. My phone was also purchased in November, and the replacement was sometime in early December.
My phone T959 .the brother of i9000, have the same problem...I have used HTC Universal ,and nokia 5230. Both are fine, no TDD noise at all..
Samsung have a long way to go...
i have it too (and tough it was faulty) and check out a friend's phone today and he has it too, didn't even know it and had the phone for a few months now. i guess we're just over demanding )

HAHAHA! Nah, it's just some Solar Activities causing communication flaws lately. It's near to 2012 anyway . Sorry, couldn't resist it either.
Anyway, I've never noticed about the noise. Been using this phone for almost a year? If its only with SGS, and all experiencing this are buying them at a relatively similar time, it would probably be a "batch issue".
Considering T959 experiencing the same issue, then maybe there's something wrong with how Samsung manufacture their phones. But somehow, there are lucky people who get good ones. Or most likely, this issue is too mild and there is actually nothing wrong with it. Nothing is perfect my dear friends
It seems like the vibration motor on my HTC One is loose, as whenever it vibrates there's a slight rattling sound. I've also noticed that I can hear this sound whenever i tap the screen, or back of the phone, anywhere near the top, which is where I'm guessing the motor is found. This is gradually getting more and more annoying so I'm wondering if I should send it off to get fixed, so has anyone else experienced this problem?

its the same for me with two htc one´s
I've noticed the same thing as well.

Yes well I have noticed it too, but as I have noticed this sound before with other smartphones. I think it has something to do with the camera components. Although it wasnt caused by the motor when I heard that. This motor vibration setting is way to strong. HTC should reduce the strenght when its activated in a next update or so, at least I hope they will.
it's the image stabilisation components for the camera.

It is.
Same here I turned of the haptic-feedback which I cant stand and I don't really notice it any more.
My dad's One has this issue, it sounds like the vibration motor is causing something glass to move and instead of hearing a smooth motorised vibration it sounds more like glass vibrating. It's really annoying when typing in a quiet location, it sounds like a crappy keyboard typing sound
My One isn't doing this, it feels and sounds normal.

Got my one today, just noticed the rattling, seems it is very very common! Personally I can't stand it, can I learn to live with it?! Or send it back in hope for a rattle free replacement?
Htc could have a very large warranty issue in the coming months!
But by large the rattle seems to be in most.

I am not seeing this in ny one. But I am getting worried with all these reports... HTC should have spent a little more time QCing their flagship product....
They will definately have warranty issues in the next couple of months. Tons of reports on dead pixels, blown speakers, gaps in physical build, horizontal lines on LCD and now this....
As much as I love this phone I am very much considering returning it... I'd hate to have something go wrong and be without a phone for a little while, while it's being repaired....

any have a solution to this?
just want to join the crowd...
My HTC One is also rattling .. it began doing so yesterday, 7 days after i got it
I can't decide weather i should simply disable haptic feedback -- the motor is too strong at the moment, which i hope they fix with firmware/updates
btw. the phone also have slight gaps in top and buttom, but i dont really considder them being a problem...

turn vibration off
I'm having this problem too. I just turned down haptic feedback intensity for swift key and everything is fine now. I don't know if I should bother exchanging for another HTC one since many people seem to be having this problem..
Same issue here. I upgraded to the HTC One and was impressed by how solid that vibrator was. Dropped it in a toilet and toasted it. Got another and it had this problem. You could shake the phone and hear something faint. Replaced that one and same thing. It's my only hardware gripe with the phone as I enjoy having haptic feedback. It's probably a hardware issue.

2 of my friends with htc one's have the same issue. don't think it's worth exchanging..just wait for an update that will reduce vibration intensity for now. other than that...LOVE the phone
Im on my second HTC One and both had that rattly sound to the haptic feedback, which is annoying. Weird thing is that you can hear it if you shake the phone.
My phone was made in May and I am wondering if it includes the HDR microphone. Is there a way to check by way of a file other then just recording something really loud.
Just record something really loud... go sit in a car with the volume turned way up... up to the point your ears start to hurt
These Nokia mics are to die for
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Easiest test to do is find a big ass subwoofer, put your phone near and record. If it comes out distortion free you're gold
Most of us here dont have the proper ear to actually test this out. I wish there was a method of actually finding out
I had to RMA my One today because the camera is blurry no matter what. Just will not focus.
When I receive a new one back from HTC, what are the chances I won't have the HDR mic? Any way to check the hardware (menu test, etc) to confirm?
Bumping an old thread up ... ive got the same question
I'm a HTC One user..and i had to search so many pages just to find out all the basic problems with HTC One device..so now i'm making a specific thread for this..
This list will help those people who are planning to buy HTC One, have planned to buy HTC One or have already bought HTC One.
I'm gonna list down the problems with this device in 2 categories..first the very common problem with the device and second the rare problems that only few people are facing..
This post will be regularly updated depending on the people comments..so if you have any problem with your device people do comment on this thread..i will read each and every comment and update the data..
Common Problems
1. Gap Problem : The gap between the speaker grill and the body..both at top and bottom. Since HTC is promoting this phone as 'ZERO GAP' phone..this manufacturing fault is unacceptable.. http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/628/img2897q.jpg
2. Camera Problem : I have personally faced this problem.
Picture : http://i.imgur.com/vQ0b0np.jpg
Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p7a9tdNVYo&feature=youtu.be
Thread for this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
This problem is noticeable when you take pictures in low light. By default if you take a picture in a dark room..the picture should be black..since no light source is available..but in defective HTC One it's red/purple.
Again this is totally unacceptable since HTC has marketed this phone as the best phone for low light pictures..
3. Loudspeaker : This problem was there in my first device..when at maximum volume..there is a hissing sound from the speakers.. This sound/vibration is also visible when calling someone..or when you play music at max volume.
Again HTC has marketed this device as the phone with the best sound speakers..so i have no idea whether HTC has a Q&C dept or not..because the quality is really poor..
4 Dead Pixels : Many people have reported dead pixels..
5. Proximity Sensor: The proximity sensor is not working in few devices.
Other Problems
1. The home and back button weren't working properly..but after the update i think it's working fine.
2. Few people have noticed purple tint in the center of the pictures taken by the camera...
3. Mic problem
4. Death Grip
5. Cracked Camera Glass
There is no possible solution for the above issues..the only possible thing to do is to get it repaired or replaced..
I have already got one device replaced and will be getting another device replaced this week till i don't find a perfect device!
So please do let us know if you have faced any problem with your HTC one..so i can make a check-list for the new HTC One users..so that they can buy a defect free HTC ONE!
I had to return 1 phone because the back mic didn't work so I had no speakerphone. I have read that HTC has since changed the type of mic being used during manufacture.

The easiest way to test is to take a video in HD mode as it uses both mics to record video sound in stereo. During the recording run your fingers over the 2 mics one after another.
When playing it back you should hear the noises from your finger touching the mics.

Thank you!
Just for those who have no idea where the mics are..there are two small holes..
1. Right side of the USB Charging port
2. Top-Right Corner on the backside of the phone

Shouldn't there be an option to choose no issues? I slapped a Mophie case on my One and immediately rooted and flashed Android Revolution HD and have had zero issues. Coming from having every single iPhone since the very first I have to say I am really happy with this device. Freedom!!!

Well. Honestly, I don't see the gap issue since mine is black so I can't really tell. The only problem I've had is 7 dead pixels and with a 1080p screen, the only time I was seriously able to figure that out was in recovery mode at night when all the lights were out. So, I don't really see any major problems.
I have a flawless phone besides a bulging volume rocker and the biggest issue - TERRIBLE signal... No dead pixels that I've noticed, speakers sound fine, maybe a little buzzing but nothing out of the ordinary...
Coming from an S4... Which was flawless... I'm not happy about the signal issue and the usual fanfare of going through ridiculous steps to unlock the bootloader, get S-OFF, etc., but it seems like a decent device. Definitely a much better screen overall than the S4, not very laggy (I haven't gone to 4.2.2 just yet because I literally just started using it today but the S4 blew me away how quickly you could use it from power off to power on but the lag goes away after Sense loads) but I'm having radio issues all the way around (except the "death grip") - my GPS doesn't want to lock, mobile handshakes not only take forever but I can't get LTE with my case on, etc. And the speakers really aren't THAT impressive. The S4 is similarly loud although I heard HTC turned the volume down on a firmware upgrade because people were complaining they were too loud so who knows.
I just might have to start the damn warranty exchanges for the signal. *sigh* I see HTC's quality control has not improved over the years...

Just saw your video..and according to me this much drop is acceptable..the plastic part on this phone is meant for signals transmission..so if you block those areas..it will automatically effect the transmission..
Let's us wait for more response..

They should at least know the problems you are facing with this device!
I just got myself a White Moto X on sprint today and am noticing some inconsistencies in speaker volume. Most of the time the speaker is way to quiet even with volume maxed. It is quiet for calls notifications and music and games. Occasionally though the volume gets to loud and acceptable levels but never very long.
I am wondering if there is a setting that adjust my volume automatically based on ambience or me moving the phone.
I use loud ringtones and the same ones as all my other phones have used and never had a problem hearing them in normal environments. It seems as if I have to be in a very quiet room to hear this phone though or hold the speaker up to my ear to hear music.
Reviews for this phone seem to say the speaker is on the loud side and is comparable to the levels of the HTC One.
I just need to know if I need to return mine.

I'm guessing this has to do with the "smart speaker" feature, which I just read briefly about today. I've noticed it on my phone as well, although it hasn't been that noticeable, but regardless I wonder if there is an option to disable it or modify its behavior.
Scroll down to point 4, thats where it discusses this new speaker tech.

I've started noticing this volume auto changing itself more lately, sometimes the notification sounds are pretty loud, other times they seem to be a lot quieter. I'm guessing the Moto X is using some "smart" setting like in the link I posted, but I have no clue how to change it or where the setting is at.
Has anyone else experienced this yet, and found the setting and/or a fix to the issue? I would rather just set the volume manually myself and not have the Moto X try to adjust it for me
I think have the same issue.

I Think I have the same issue, I have my Moto X, and sometimes I dont know why, the notifications doesnt sound in my phone, I thought it was happening because an "smart" configuration or something like that, but I havent discover anything that can fix this.
Does any one?
YES! This is my problem exactly...
I called Motorola to ask if they had any kind of technology in the phone that would lower the volume based on ambient resonance, or whatever, and the representative said "no".
After that, he offered me a replacement, commenting that it was the first time he'd heard of such an issue, and telling me that it wasn't normal.
What do you all take from this? This issue is big enough to cause me to return my brand new, otherwise amazing, Moto X because I really need a reliable speaker.
Get a replacement.
