Moto X - hissing sound - Moto X Q&A

Hey all!
I am new to Moto X phone (previously had Samsung Galaxy SII - i9100).
I have Kitkat 4.4.2 on board and recently tried to listen to some music on my new phone (totally new purchased in store). Unfortunately I was not enjoying that much due to hissing sound (constant noise along with music) while listening on headphones.
I have tried a couple of headphones and it did not bring any improvement.
I was bouncing between different forums and google and found in LG G2 forum that it is a Google KitKat bug. There is a 'Xposed' module 'G2 Tewakbox' that has a fix for this. However this for G2 not all phones (I believe?).
So the question is about whether you all have the same problem? It can be easily notices when you listen on very low volume. The noise disappears around 2-3 sec after you stop music.
Thx!

Play whit the equalizer.

Hey! I had the exact same problem on my Nexus 10! In my case, it was just the rare case of poor build quality (the connectors just wasn't perfectly aligned). I just contacted Google and got it replaced. Contact Motorola (or wherever you purchased it) and I'm sure they'll get you a replacement.

I agree likely defective phone.

I am looking for new desktop speakers

Hey people as I said in the title I am looking for some new speakers for my desktop. However, thanks to my current dual monitor setup I need either really short speakers or something like laptop sound bar so the speakers don't get hidden behind the monitors. So if someone has any suggestions that be great.

Bump I'd still like to hear some suggestions, preferably for speakers under 100 dollars and I only need 2 speakers since I wouldn't be able to spread out surround sound speakers properly in the room I have my computer in.
Under your budget are the m-audio av30 speakers.

At $149, I'd definitely recommend the av40.

Get a JAWBONE ERA! look for youtube review about noise assasin...
I had a Jawbone, wasn't loud enough. Ended up getting a Jabra Supreme. I like it so far.
you should try the Jawbone Era...
maybe you got a cheap jawbone model that's why...
ERA is running in HD audio

I had various Jawbones and BlueAnt headsets, most recently the ERA and the Q2.
The Jaewbone ERA was good and fit my ear well even without the ear hook, but the call quality was sometimes not so good. Some people had a hard time hearing me. Not sure why but I had this issue with all the jawbone headsets I've used. Sometimes people tell me it sounds great and then their are some that can hear me. I did get complaints about wind if it was windy. It may work great with the Note II don't know I lost it before I got my Note II.
The BlueAnt Q2 fit's a bit loose in my ear and requires I use the ear hook. But the overall call quality is been better for me. Another feature I like it that it downloads you phone book and can tell you who's calling (if their in contact). This feature workes great with my Note II, on my S2 it did not, though I was running a custom ROM and that my have caused it. The Jawbone only let you set up 10 contacts to readout their names. Wind can also be an issue with the Q2 (as with every headset I've ever tried including the Jawbone).
Update: just noticed the Q2 won't announce callers in my contact list now that I'm running a custom ROM.

There's no sound coming from my device!

I can't get sound to play, I've tried CM, Rootboox, Trickdroid, and ViperROM.
Sound will not play on youtube or play music or anything.
Is it possible my speakers might be blown?
On the status bar, every time I try to play music an icon that looks like the wifi icon with a line across it comes up. I think it might have something to do with that but idk.

Take your device back.
I literally had this happen to me last week.
One second I was listening to music in the car. picked up a friend. turned the music back on and no sound.
Sprint couldnt fix the issue when I took it to the repair center, so they just replaced it.
I couldnt hear any sound like music, ringtones, using headphones and stuff like that but I was still able to make calls and hear the other person talk.
*EDIT*
also...
massive facepalm for 3 outta the 4 album covers I see in the screen shot.

Anyone tried Taotronics BT earphones with G4?

Hi,
I am very pleased with my Sony SBH50 BT earphones but they are not made for sports, I am tempted by the Taotronics magnet sport model but I wonder how well they perform with the G4.
Anyone tried it?

Jaybird Bluebuds X are great, I would assume the X2 will be just as good.

I got them for Xmas, they are amazing, battery last like 8 hours continuously, get Viper 4 android and they are even better, and when they say noise cancelling they mean it, i had my phone music volume at half and i turned the tv 40/60 and i couldn't hear it, super easy to set up and the volume on the headset is separate so be sure to turn that up as well as your phone volume

Oh yea, i do gymnastics and flips and stuff they never fell out, maybe got a little loose but just push them back in with little force, i also run with them and play soccer with them and they never fall out, unless you get hit in the head with the ball then they might fly out

Thanks for the report.
Sounds like a good deal like the first hifiman that hit the market

They work very well. Clear sound. Sometimes paring messes up and you have to re-pair. But haven't happened to me in a long time. Overall very please with the sound quality decent highs and mids. You need an EQ to get better basses though.

[Q] speaker volum too law

Hi guys, I have two problems I do not know how to solve:
1-level audio speaker is too low when I listen to music or I watch netflix, is there a way to increase audio power?
I read somewhere about media volum limiter but I can not find it on my notes even if I'm looking for it I do not find this option
2- if I block a phone number from the call log using pull-down menus, the number appears blocked but it is not, to block it I really have to use phone settings / block numbers, is it a bug?
Regarding your first question, yes the volume in note 8 is not loud, but you can enhace it in settings>sonds and vibrations>sound quality and effects>equalizer, custom, and there put all freqs to max, besides, you can adjust the performance mode to entertainment

Thanks, I've tried both ways that you have advised me but it does not change much, there is no other way? sure that the sound of this note is really disgusting.

I tried this way, but if I cover the speaker with my hand I hear the sound lower, very strange.
