Is anyone else experiencing audio interference when using the headphone jack? When i'm using my phone as the aux in my car i have bad interference/scratchy noises/high pitch whining. The cord isn't the problem, i have ruled that out. It happens even when nothing is playing.
Nothing like that for me.

I have the same background noise, but I just successfully installed Viper4android with some preset convolver impulse response mods, very little back ground hissing from my head phones. I'll give it try in my car soon and let you folks know the outcome. All I can say is eargasm

I've had similar problems on other phones. It turned out that I had gotten some lint in the headphone jack and it wasn't making good contact. Try cleaning it out with a needle or something (gently).

Can't tell you if I have the same issue but you sould call google about it and ask for a replacement if it is not normal

Mine is the same way. It's similar to those onboard soundcards on a PC that you'd hear some interference with when you started moving the mouse. Not really much you can do about it, and I'm pretty sure all Nexus 7s would be affected by this.
Obviously the more sensitive headphones you have, the more likely you'll hear it.

I notice it as well when using my etymotic hf5's when the tablet is charging via wall charger. Seems like it's a grounding issue.

Yes that is a common issue when plugged in the electricity is causing interference (a high pitched squeal usually)

What exactly does this interference sound like? Static? Ringing? I don't seem to notice anything with mine.

It's like a buzzing crackling sound... I hear it really bad with my KRK 8400 and it sounds worse when I touch the screen... It makes a few loud crackles when plugging the charger in... Sometimes it gets a little better when I push the plug in the Nexus 7 further while its already plugged in...
Has anyone received a unit where this is not the case? Should I go through the hassle of doing an RMA? The reason I think this is an issue, is.. well first of all it's annoying. And second, my phone doesn't behave this way. So I know it's possible to design a device that doesn't have this issue.
Hi everybody,
To be honest I was very dissapointed when I opened the RAZR i box and noticed it came without headphones, I know a lot of people says all stock headphones su*ks, but, I am one of the few persons who still use stock headphones for playing music, talking to people while driving, etc.
I have tried to use 2 kinds of headphones with mic for the talking while driving purpose, but not even one of them worked. (iphone & sony headphones)
Is it going to be a pain in the ass finding a good compatible pair of headphones with mic?
Mine came with stock headphones/mic.

Really?
Now I'm confused, because a friend of mine and I bought the phone the same day, and none of them came with stock headphones, just the usb cable and charging adapter, I guess thats how they sell it just here @ Latin América or more specifically México.
Kind of su*ks.

Mine came with a set of headphone/mic too
(EU Retail of contract)
I'm from Germany, and mine had headphones included.
If you are looking for working headphones, I use the Sony MW600.
All buttons work a intended by the manufacturer, sound is good, my conversation partners have no trouble understanding me even with a lot of noise around, the battery lasts for about 12 hours of nonstop music.
Look guys...

just mine
Spoiler
Mine came with its own headphone.
But i bought a Jayz One+ headphone which is fully compatible.(better quality than Moto's headphone)
So, i managed to break my stock headphones. they were pretty rubbish and i'm looking to replace them anyway, but if anyone could recommend a cheap alternative that would be great.
It's a shame that the other headsets i have (that i had previously with my xperia ray) don't work in that they are only detected as non-microphone headphones and the volume is muted unless the button is help down, so i can't start/stop music or answer calls or speak with people using them.
i don't want bluetooth or anything, just some cheap wired ones.
Mine came with
Manual - Guide
Auriculares Motorola - Stock headphones
Cable USB
Accesorio para extraer sim - Sim and sdcard extracter
Cargador de batería - Battery charger
I bought it in Claro, Argentina.
I suggest that you will have to buy a headphone in a local. They are like 10U$D more or less.

Hello everyone.
Curious if anyone else has had this issue. I recently bought a decent pair of headphones, Sony MDR7506. I have had zero issues with the cheap in ear stuff and using my aux cord in my car. Even my bluetooth streaming to my htc a200 works great. However with these headphones I get a small amount of random crackle here and there. I initially chalked it up to a bad pair of headphones but for the heck of it I tried them on my PC , Ipad 3, and nexus 7 and they sound absolutely amazing on each of those devices. I tried it on my wife's htc one as well and the same thing. The odd thing was I had crackle in the left ear on her phone and on the right ear on mine.
I'm not exactly sure whats up at this point. Judging by searching it doesn't seem like anyone really has had this issue or at least haven't documented it.
Not that it probably matters but I am on Viper 2.1.0 and the wife is on viper 1.2.1. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks
I heard electric noise for few seconds every time I plugged in my earphone to the phone. The noise dissappeared automatically after that.
I have tried a few earphones and they all have the same problem.
Any ideas??
Thank.

Having the same problem here (.534 Firmware)! It is really annoying. First I thought it had something to do with Poweramps Auto-Play Feature, but it seems to be a general Headphone Bug.

Mine are Shure SE 215!
I found out that playing and pausing audio with any Audio Player does stop the noise signal after some seconds. Sometimes it also stops by itself. Very strange problem, did not experience it with my old Xperia S.
To me that sound similar to desktops. When you plug the speakers in the back. You hear the distortion before its in 100%.
Not sure what that is but doesnt seem to affect anything. Do yiu have any water in the headphone hole?
Maybe its the phones metal inside. Could be dust? Maybe something in there thats interfering with the headphone jack. Give it a good blow. Or a brush that can get in there.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
The Distortion appears directly after plugging in the jack and stops after some seconds or upon pausing the audio. This is without touching or moving the cable, so it does not have something to do with the mechanical connection.
EDIT:
Ok I found something out: The noise just appears when using earphones with a standard connector with 3 lanes (Ground, Left and Right Channel). When using a headset with 4 lanes (Ground, Left, Right, Mic) there is no noise signal. Tried it with both a Sony and an Apple headset (no noise) and my Shure earphones (noise)
I have no clue why it behaves like this, though.
Could be a cheap way for them to make you spend more money on headphones.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
My Shures were definitely more expensive than the headsets I tested 3 vs 4 lanes is not a quality sign it's just so that a headset needs the 4th connector for the Microphone signal (correct me when I'm wrong).
I have similar issue on brainwavz B2 but that weird sound is gone after a while...
Looks like Im not alone on this issue. I have problems with Shure se210 and westone 4r.

its an issue with smart connect not being automatically turned on just go to the app and switch the profile for your music off and on again.
Can anyone try that? I dont have mine anymore.

Good idea, but it does not help. Also tried deactivating Smart Connect and rebooting, but there's still noise when plugging in the jack.
This really annoys me! Especially because it just happens with normal earphones and not with headsets, so it probably is not a hardware bug.

No, it has nothing to do with moving the device (and there definitely are no vacuum tubes in a mobile phone xD). But I am not sure if that was your question.

Yep, that was the answer to my question and regardless it's connected with headphones generally.
Same issues with headphone jack
Hey guys I'm experiencing exactly the same noise with my headphone jack on my Z1.
I'm using a pair of Sony MDRXB41EXB Extra Bass Headphones and they don't have a microphone built in.
Has anybody alerted Sony to the issue yet?

I have problems with jaybird bluebuds x :crying:
Well this is disturbing. I was hoping this kind of crap would have been sorted out by now. I posted a longer rant on another review of the Z1 on Engadget, but here's a snippet of what I wrote,
"I had a really bad experience with a Sony MD player. had a sharp md player, that I bought in Japan, and that thing was awesome. It did everything I wanted it to, It was pretty and sleek and I loved it. It died in a car wreck. Back in the states, I got a Sony to replace it. (only available brand at the time) Twice, I had to return it for a manufacture's repair because the headphone port kept crapping out and creating static on the headphones. The stupid retailer tried to convince me it was my headphones but I tried multiple pairs. The thing was a piece of garbage. Ever since then, I've had a bit of a sour taste regarding Sony's audio products. "
The problem you all are having seems a bit better, at least the static goes away after a couple of seconds. On my MD player, it would go away but then come back if I adjusted the headphones at all inside the jack, and sometimes without provocation. Has anybody noticed that the problem persists beyond a couple of seconds after the headphones are plugged in? If it does, It might just be the same flaw in Sony's headphone jack design. It's abhorrent to me, that a company that built its brand on audio fidelity is also the only company with which I've ever had a problem with something as simple as a headphone jack. I hope that this is the exception rather than the rule with these phones, because I still really want one. I guess one potential solution is to just use bluetooth headphones instead, but this doesn't solve the potential hardware problem, It's just a work-around, and when you pay that much for a flagship device, you shouldn't have to work around anything. The hardware should work flawlessly.
oops.. I ranted again.

This is the reply I got from Sony Mobile:
Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties finding headphones to work with your Sony Xperia Z1.
The Sony Xperia Z1 uses a CTIA headphone jack and therefore will only be compatible with other CTIA headphones. As Sony do not test there phones with Third Party Manufacturers, such as Shure and Westone, we can not confirm that they use the same connectivity. You would need to speak to the headphones manufacturers to find this information.
The headphones and headset models which are compatible for your phone are listed below:
MH750
MK200
MW1
SBH20
MBH10
SBH52

Hey everyone. Tried a search but found nothing. I have a problem with my Moto X where in my car using an FM transmitter and aux cable that it is really off balance. Guitars are more on the driver side, vocals and most drums on the passenger and stuff like that. I came from an HTC One M7 with Viper4Android on it but even before putting that on it didn't do this. I've used it as a music player recently and it's only the Moto that does this. Has anyone had this issue before? It's not even extremely obvious either. Something just sounds off and then it's when you adjust the balance that you realize what it is.
I'm on AT&T Lollipop 5.0.2. I can't remember offhand if it's done this since day one because I've never checked the balance before. Any advice?
Bumps.
I have noticed a similar issue using headphones. The sound in the left channel will slowly drop off. I must bad first and the some mid range before there was nothing coming out of the earbud. At first I thought my headphones were dying. This has happened a couple times while I listen to Pandora. After quitting the app and starting again the sound is balanced.
