Hi:
I just got my galaxy s2 today. The only and important problem i found so far is the Speaker ( the one we use for calling not music). I keep hearing the electric noise when i make phone calls. the noise disappear if i use the earphone. So, I am sure that something is wrong with the Speaker........
love this phone so much.
Can somebody help?
Thanks a lot!!!
Return the phone for a refund or exchange, the earpiece speaker is broken.
where was this phone purchased?
I bought it from clove
When I turn the volume down a bit the problem is gone.
It only happens when I turn the volume to max or one step from max.
Is that still mean there is a problem with my s2?
Thanks.

Does anybody know how to solve this?
this problem is still there no matter what.
Thanks.
Might be a dumb question but whatever.
Are you connected to edge/2g? Are you next to a computer/wifi router?

NO I am having 3g or H+ from rogers, Canada.
it mast be something to do with the speaker because If i use the earphone the problem is gone.
is it possible that rooting caused it?
root did not cause it, the issue was probably always there. i really wish more people would reply saying if they do or do not have the issue as well, so we know if its common to all SGS2 units, or you just have a specific defect.
As per request..
No I don't have this problem and have used the speakerphone several times.
No problem with my earpiece speaker or my speakerphone
Not here but I do get the headset issue...though that's another thread..

awesome, there are some data points. max volume doesnt seem to crackle everyone's speaker, so maybe a bad batch is going around.
My SGS2 ear-peace crackles on max volume pretty badly - sounds like something is rattling inside. If I put it one or two notches below max, the crackling stops.
I also purchased from clove and live in Canada.
I had this issue with a nokia years back. I ordered and replaced the speaker and the problem was solved. It could just be that it was not glued-snapped down properly and this causes it to vibrate. real crackling is caused by a distorted diaphragm in the speaker.
Anywho, I also was wondering if anyone else has this problem.

I'm afraid to say I noticed this on my phone today. Turned it down a couple of notches & the crackle could no longer be heard. Far from ideal. Will have to check with clove on next steps, and samsung australia on repair cost if done locally.
Yup same problem here. The local samsung service centre technician says there's nothing wrong with the speaker, I guess he's just lazy to look into it.
I'll send it in again to another samsung service centre to have another look.
no problem with my speakers, but sometimes the earpiece sound does seem too low when receiving calls even if i have it on max volume settings
Have the same problem... Like the earspeaker is distorting and vibrating. It starts just when I call somebody, when ringing.... Tomorrow I will take it to hospital
ok I got back my phone from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).
And now, it's solved!! NO MORE BUZZING when making/receiving calls!
Definitely go ask for an exchange or a change of your panel guys! It's a HARDWARE ISSUE.
Running ICScrewD 1.6.2 currently but I noticed this on UnNamed 2.2.1 (latest) and both prior updates on both roms. When I'm on a phone call I'm getting an echo of my own voice. I've factory reset and reflashed 3 times.
Any ideas? Lovin this phone and roms but this is driving me crazy
Having the same issue with ICScrewD 1.6.2. Noice suppression is turned off and that is what is 'suppose' to be causing it. Supposed to to be fixed in 1.7.
every rom ive tried had it, i think it was like that on stock....i dont hear myself, but people on the other end say it has a bad echo.
I have heard, but cannot confirm, that some cases can cause this echo.
your phone is tapped. they are listening! ;p
When a friend of mine is using his bluetooth earpiece, I hear my voice echoing. When he turns off his earpiece, the echoing stops.
Move out of the cave.
Not exactly impressed with call quality. Weird to make a kick ass device but when it comes down to the major function of the device, its lacking big time!

Don't know if this ever happens to you guys but on my cases, several times, when I was talking with my friend, suddenly high-pitch hiss came then I heard strange voice (of course, not my friend on the other end), sounded like Arabic (couldn't confirm though), lasted for around 10 or 15 seconds then gone, my friend was back on.
Weird!
Was terrorists listening to my conversation?
I've always had excellent voice audio on this phone and a good amount using a bt headset. However since the 2.3.6 update no matter what rom I use Im hearing that echoing more and more. Noise suppression on or off same echo. Between this and the bt hid being messed up I'm gonna switch back to unnamed 1.3.2 worked flawless for awhile for me

It's more than likely not your phone. I've had echoing on calls with EVERY phone I have owned (Blackberry Bold 9700, 3 different Iphones 2g,3g,3gs, Tmobile Shadow, Motorola Razr, and a couple of others I can't remember ) I've looked into this issue. I got tired of being told a hundred different answers. From my research the best I can find is two things.
1. Just a glitch in the cell your in.
2. It actually could be the case on the phone of the person you are talking to.
It's actually been the best on my SGS2. It has only happened once.
ive experienced the echo. its completely random but i have noticed that it does it more often when i am using headphones to talk rather than just holding the phone up to my ear.
I found this on the i9100 forum. Possibly an issue with our devices also.

That sux. I'll probably end up filing a claim with squaretrade when Galaxy S III is available and get paid out for this one
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
In my case it happens when I talk to my girlfriend who has the iPhone 4S. Worth to note, when you are talking to somebody while laying on a bed and holding your phone upside down (the headphone jack faces the floor and micro usb side faces the ceiling) the echo appears and/or your voice gets lowered.

Guys, is the microphone near the headphone jack covered? If so, that causes echo.
Have yall try different Modem? Have no issue here. Had the same issue with my old Capitvate and fixed by changing Modem.
Happens with the case n without. Tried KK6 and HK7. Will try all the modems and see if it solved the problem. Seems to be more noticeable when I'm talking to somebody on a att iPhone 4s
I have a pretty annoying problem because from the earbud (under the wrtitten SONY) comes interfecences while i'm speaking with someone using the mobile line.
The interference is like that of the speaker near a mobile phone but from the earbud.
someone has the same problem or mine is a isolated case?

I think you mean earpiece...not earbud.
If you hold the phone near your ear you can hear a very high pitched hiss sound while you are talking? The sound has a pattern to it. If so, then I have tried 2 of these phones and they both do it. I don't now if they all do it, but it seems to be common. Some people who don't have such good high-pitched hearing will not hear it at all. You will never hear it if you are outdoors...only if you are at home in a quiet room.

I hear it too. It's the usual GSM "cellphone interference" sound.
Hi i have the same i hear that xd
But what i have noticed this is only in GSM mode ...at WDCMA its ok..i cant hear this .
I have the same problem. Got my first phone replaced and the new one came today with the same problem.
Try only with WDCMA (3G) and See if that help.

Now I did some tests,
I tried only GSM mode and there's no problem, only WCDMA -> the same thing
Good also WCDMA/GSM..
sometimes the problem seems to disappear
Yeah I too have the same issue.
Its not everytime but sometimes,
Its like a electronics interference noise.
Don't know what's this all about ://

I think it's for the bad isolation of earpiece, but someone think the problem come out when the XS switchs GMS/WSDMA

i can hear that hissing too, i ve searched about it, and it looks like latest smartphones have that kind of problem, the only solution i could find is not to place your ear directly on the earpiece, fortunately this phone has a great in-call volume...
earpiece hissing, crackling, buzzing - problem solved
well amigos, the problem finally has been solved for me, reading this forum https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3414732?start=0&tstart=0
so i turned off my phone, i removed the sim card, i cleaned it using a soft cloth, and then i inserted it back, making sure the sim card was placed correctly in the tray, i tested it several times and guess what, there was no more hissing anymore, so the problem is the micro sim-card, those sim-cards must be placed correctly otherwise it will make that hisssing sound
i hope this works for you too
greetings from colombia...
Had my first two calls today, same problem. Interestingly, it gets louder/more noticeable when I'm actively speaking, not when the other party says something.
Sim-Card is fresh from the envelope, so there shouldn't be scratches, dust or fingerprints on it, but I'll try cleaning it up tomorrow. Got the phone set on GSM only, since I've got bad 3G/UMTS signal at home and I'm pretty sure constant "channel-hopping" would drain the battery.
Hi,
got xperia S yesterday. Great phone... only problem is GSM interference in the earpiece. It is there every time when phone is set to 2G. 3G is free of this issue. As I can hear at every call it's a bit irritating.
I don't know what should I do: sent it back to the store (bought from amazon), try to repair in the service centre or learn to live with it?
Can any of xperia S owners make a siple test: put the phone in "only GSM" mode and make one or two calls. Put earpiece close to the ear and listen to it. I wonder if it's design flaw and every xperis S have this issue, or only some of them....
Anyone who got his phone replaced and the new one came WITHOUT the same problem ???

Thank for reply. Anyone who had this problem and managed to get rid of if by repairing / replacing phone ?
Today when I made or received calls my mic didn't seem to work. I could hear the other side perfectly, but they couldn't hear me. When I held a sustained sound only bits of the noise would go through. It was resolved only after I rebooted it. I'm running stock everything. Is this a hardware issue or a network problem?

I have bad call quality while in call. There are some crackling noise coming from the earpiece, but that is just happening while in call. I disable the big/lower speaker and test the earpiece by listening voices, music from youtube and everything is fine than, so the earpiece is not defective. Are there some way to improve call quality? I think that this problem is software related. I am on 10.2.2.0 stable. Thanks

Hey, i dont have solution but my pocophone does the same thing, it is pretty annoying. I returned first 2 pocophones because i thought it is some hw related issue, but this is my third pocophone and it does exactly the same sounds as first two did so i think this is just either software related or bad engineering if the phone. Because my old redmi 3 did not do anything similar and the phobe was 1/3 of the pico price.
Sound is like buzzing/static noice/interference, and as you said, only while calling with someone. Tried different providers, reseting phone, downgrading to basic android but nothing helps.
Any solution appreciated
Even I have experienced it...
Noise can be heard through earpiece...
Also echo/noise is heard to the other person in call...
Everyone complaints me regarding it while in call... Also this is reduced whole using earphones
Why doesn't Xiaomi take any actions on this?
Even I'm facing the same issue.
Pocophone F1
I have the same problem here. any Solution?
same issue guys, i am on 11.0 .5. i am experiencing it since last two updates
