[Q] Static'y' sound when headphones plugged in and audio not playing - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I've heard a little bit of static'y noise when the touching the screen or going between apps occasionally (very pronounced with dealing with charging and aux in car). I still am experiencing it even when not charing, very subtle, but noticeable. Seems like it fixes itself when an audio app is selected, but otherwise can occasionally hear the static sound when interacting with the touch or capacitive buttons.
Anyone else hear some of this occasional static?

Turn off audible touch tones in settings.
I had this same problem, and am pretty sure it's just the audio file that Android uses when it plays the audible touch tones. The sound file that is used has to play the audible touch tones when touching the screen has an extra second or two of no sound that is only noticeable when using an external speaker source through the headphone jack. This is the "static" you are hearing.

But this doesn't address the root cause. Any sound causes this hissing or static noise. It is more like audio is activated when a tone is played, and gets deactivated a second or two later after the tone finishes, and the hiss is heard in the interim. This can be heard any time audio is activated, when connected by headphone or external speaker, and most noticeable when the source audio is low or silent.
This was a problem with the Skyrocket too. Hopefully, it's a software problem that can be addressed.

Yup....skyrocket suffers from this too

Same problem here too

Yep... same here... particularly bad when waiting for a video to start while it's hooked up to any speaker/car system that used the 3.5mm jack.

[Q] Static in Volume buttons

During music play, has anyone else noticed small amount of static when changing volume. This happens to me particularly when increasing the volume control. However, it is very inconsistent. When I say static, I mean there is a volume increase (or decrease) with some amount of "other" sound added in. This was not something I noticed with my ipod touch and was just curious if anyone else has this or it's a hardware or software issue.
Do you see when playing music through the speaker only, or with earphones as well?
Speaker is not clear enough to hear if there is any audible noise during volume increase or decrease. . . also hear it when using other music players such as cubed. Also, I was listening through my earphones to Avatar and even though the audio is very clear, when increasing and decreasing the volume I still hear what I guess is better described as a small pop instead of static. That might be a better description for the music noise as well.
Static, crackle, pop
I've been listening to audio books on my Vibrant lately and I've noticed this happening a lot. I've heard it through headphones and I have even heard popping / crackling on the speaker when it plays notification sounds.
Did this turn out to be a defect or is it an issue that everyone has occassionally but just ignores?
Thanks
Does this happen when using the on-screen volume control in the music app or only the rocker button?
Mine will actually crackle even when I'm not touching it.

Yes mine too. It will sporadically "skip" in all music players whether I'm using headphones or not.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!

The background noise of vibrant

Hello, did anyone find that the background noise of vibrant is very clear, when using headsets.
If you want to have a test, I think you can do as fellow.
1. Find a quiet environment, plug in your headsets
2. Open music player, turn the volume to 0
3. Play a song, you'll hear the background noise immediately
4. If stop the song, the background noise hold on for several seconds, then disappear.
What's the cause of this? Driver or hardware design? or just software.
So did anyone have some idear for solving this problem?
I have no background noise, try different head phones, maybe they are the problem.
I've heard it with iems in silence, same as what you described.

Which headset are you using? and also rom and kernel.
I tested in several kernels and roms, all have this question.
It's what you get for listening to crappy MP3's use something better than MP3 preferably lossless

no, noise does not come from mp3. I use musicplayer just to take a example.
the noise comes when the dsp has outputs,and disappears when the dsp has no outputs
I am pretty sure you are hearing hardware static noise from the audio circuit. The sound quality of the headphone amp in the galaxy phones is better than most HTC phones, but sadly still falls short compared to an iPhone and many dedicated mp3 players. The static is even more evident with higher sensitivity headphones like the ultimate ears tripple-fis and the like.

Yeah I hear this also...if you don't hear it you're probably using cheap headphones.

Noticeable hiss/static through headphones

Anybody noticed any hissing, static, electrical noise, through their headset whilst a sound is playing? Usually audible for a second or two after the phone alerts you with a notification sound. Im using Sennheiser ie8 headphones.

Yep. Pain in the arse. Nothing you can do about it that I'm aware of. I tend to put my phone in flight mode if I listen to music. People can send me a txt or leave a voicemail msg.
Same here, I also noticed that when you turn up the volume using the buttons you can clearly hear "hard steps" no smooth scaling at all.

[q] noise cancellation issues in earphones

i have been using XZU for over a month now but one thing bugs me a lot, whenever i call and talk via using out of box earphones, i can distincly hear the background sound myself and somehow instead of cancelling that background sound, its amplies it and send it to the other end, ive heard many of my callers tell me that they cant hear my voice as the background sound is a lot when im not in such a noisy atmosphere.
anybody else has faced this issue? any idea whats wrong and how i can solve it?
I am experiencing exactly the same issue. The headset picks up all the background noise when I am having a call, and it is annoying because I can't hear clearly what my caller is saying.... I'm sure it is a bug... Am on software update 532 and this is really bugging me

In settings/call settings there are some tick boxes you can try:
Hearing aids
microphone noise suppression
speaker voice enhancement
If they don't work then it must be a hardware issue. (ear piece with mic)
Personally I've never used the headphone set. I use the SBH-52 bluetooth unit

I confirm the same problem does not exist in Bluetooth headset but it only happens when you use a wired headset like the Sony MH750 supplied in the box. I have tried using other wired headsets and the same problem exist - your earphone just plays also the sounds that are received in the microphone so you are not only hearing the caller but you are also hearing your own voice as well as the noises of the surrounding environment.... really really annoying.

bluetooth headset clicking

So I just bought a cheat headset 30$, and it has a weird problem, that in the beginning of any song it makes clicking noise in both sides and then start, and that happens in the drops when there's no sound and comes back, the noise isn't that bad but it's just annoying, is there a solution for this? If not is there any app that can send a constant low sound so it doesn't cut out? Coz it seems to happen when the voice cuts and back
