Is anyone getting these slight clicking noise from the speaker whenever the phone is in use, like opening an app for example. I got my phone phone from the launch event (5th in line!! ) and i only noticed when it was really quiet in my room these noises came from the speakers.
To check, open an app and quickly put your ear to the speaker and I hear a hissing noise then a soft click. Always happens when i open an app!
I went back to Phones4U, the guy could tell it was faulty so I got it replaced..now same problem!! (not as loud as before, but still there)
Anyone having the same problem? can anyone check for me? this can't be normal!

Yeah I have that problem. It's one of those things that you don't really notice until you know it's there, then you hear it all the time
Someone on another forum posted they had the same, so it might not be an isolated problem.
Isn't that just the touch click?
Try Settings/Sound/Touch sounds.
Personally I rather like it..

No, I have that turned off.
It happens whenever the speaker is used - when the sound stops there is a quiet hiss, followed by a pop as the speaker switches off.
Try it - hold the speaker right up to your ear, and use the volume rocker to hear the beep. Afterwards there is hiss followed by a pop.
It's not noticeable enough to be an issue (for me) in normal use, but you can hear it if you're in a quiet room.

I can hear it on my G2x... I'm sure it's not an issue and your just being paranoid because you dropped a whole bunch of cash on a new phone

The click comes like 3 seconds after you make an input, so it doesn't sound right and it just sounds random (and annoying).
thanks tho!
Edit: Turning off Touch sounds, seems to stop it, whenever im using the phone..but yeah still happens whenever the speaker is in use but that i can live with that!

Happens with my OG Droid. I only started noticing it one late night when for no reason I had the speaker right up next to my ear.
I don't think it's anything to worry about

Heh, that's certainly got something to do with it
As I say it's not really an issue, and it's not unique to this phone (as you point out). Just one of those annoying niggles - it depends on how sensitive you are to these things
Yes - I have the same problem with my new Galaxy Nexus. In fact, even if it's not a problem for most people, I'd say it is a problem for Samsung because I returned my phone yesterday and got it swapped out. The new one has the same problem, so I assume it's an Android software problem rather than a hardware glitch.
So that's at least two returns caused by this problem. Hope we get a fix at some point!
p.s. Phone is great by the way, even with the annoying click.
Guys
This is hardware problem. And it happens on most of the speakers however its more or less noticeable on some devices.
I have quite good quality monitors (studio speakers) and i can hear something hissing in the back.
Let me put it that way.
Every speaker needs electricity to work. The noise you are hearing is the actual electric current coming through the speakers. The sudden pop and lack of the hiss means that speaker has been turned off. For obvious reasons there is no point for the speaker to work constantly....

I can't hear any click when I plug headphones in, so maybe you're right - the click could be when the amplifier that powers the internal speaker turns off...
However, for some reason I still get a click if the phone is in silent mode. I guess putting it in silent mode doesn't guarantee it keeps the amplifier turned off.
I hope it's just the speakers; the DAC in my HD2 hissed for a few seconds after any sounds even through my headphones. The hissing was always there when there was sound. It was quite depressing. I'm hoping for a good DAC in the Galaxy nexus.
I've got a click (sounds just like a quite speaker pop) from the back cover.
Turn your GN over and push the back cover, on the "Google" logo (below the camera flash). Then quickly release your finger.
Sometime it can happen with only the lightest of touches. If i put my phone down on my chest, the pick it up.
If you look really closely you can see the cover moving just below the camera surround.
Issue has been reported to google.

I have this issue on my gnex. Its def a sw problem. I took the back cover off and still have the issue.
slightly different, but also hiss related...
my rezound does the same thing when headphones(or aux to car) are plugged in and nothing is playing. once you start to play something you don't notice it. and its a confirmed issue.
It's a hardware issue guys, depends on the audio chip I believe. Impedance-related.

It isn't just on the speaker either. Atleast on my Galaxy Nexus, I can hear it when listening on high end professional in-ear headphones. I can verify that it is almost certainly a signal isolation problem. The activity causes the DAC (the thing that makes a digital signal into an analog signal that speakers and headphones need) to kick on for a few seconds and until it shuts off you can hear the noise coming out of the DAC. It's pretty substantial on mine though, so I'm wondering if I got a bad unit. I'll have to stop by a Verizon Wireless store and plug in to the display unit to see if it is any better. I never noticed this on my Galaxy S (Fascinate).
My unit is also affected, it was made in Vietnam. I checked the Google Code issue tracker link (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22307) and I can see many people confirming this also. This is definitely not how the speaker should work - I checked another Samsung phone (SGS II) and there's no such "clicks". There's some silent noise but not the click.
I can hear it from the speaker only, not through the headphones.
I think many users are unaware of the issue because it is often only noticeable in a silent environment.
Yes getting same issue. Have tried different ROMS to no avail
rooted running FreeGS3. Heres my question/issue. I am a very heavy user. From 830a to 5p my phone is in my pocket and I am using it to either talk or listen to music. Here's the odd part that Ive always had even before rooting. I use the stock earphones and they sound fantastic up to around 1p. Its odd but pretty consistent. Right around this time, no matter if Im talking or jamming out, the balance will just favor one side or the other. Actually one side might just be losing volume. Not real sure. Soon after that, total volume just drops off to a tenth of what i had at 830a. If i switch headphones, which a do carry(its my fix), everything returns to normal as soon as I plug in. Ive tried plugging stock headphones back in, after hearing the other set work, only to have same problem. Original phones will work fine next morning. Ive also tried switching headsets, 2nd set first, and guess what?? Right around 1p it still happens. I unplug, plug in stock headset, and everything works. Is there a static problem with the jack that just takes time to build up or something??? Anyone else have this issue??? Find it very strange.
Hello,
I just opened my phone to change the charging port with a new one because the old one was so loose that charging the phone was a pain in the butt. And after months of waiting I finally decided to teardown my phone just like in one youtube video. I took a lot of risk and time and did everything the way I was supposed to do and I had a success! The phone booted up everything was working as normal and this usb charging port was just like a new. But sadly I started receiving SMS messages because my phone had been turned off for some time and didn't hear any sound. Most of the times it is on a vibration mode but this time it wasn't. The only thing I could hear was a little tapping noise that you can hear only once before the sound goes on and that's it. There's a vibration jsut as usual there's just no sound and it definitely is a hardware problem because I have it on my phone and also can hear the person talking through the front speaker but the bottom one is definitely not working and I have no idea why when I made everything like it was supposed to be (I guess). What do you think happened and should I open it and tear it down again? Even if I open it what am I supposed to do?
Thank you
Top of the morning to you or good day, or good evening...
First, I would like to say this is my first post, sorry if I leave something out or haven't flowed rules/templates (if there are some).
So let's get down to business. I have HTC One M8, it has been with me for +-1 year. A while back it started to do some weird stuff. I connect my headphones, go to music or spotify (doesn't matter where I listen), as I am listening to the song, in one point it will just start fast forwarding or just stop and won't recognize that headphones are plugged in, so as I press play again the sound is coming from the speakers (headphones are still plugged in), in some cases it will bring up Google Now. The phone has experienced some falls and some water, but after every accident it is fine.
Maybe some one has had a similar experience?
Thanks to all the respondents.
Sounds like your headphone port may be damaged.
Have you tried more than one set of headphones?

Before somewhat similar thing happened with me ( not with HTC , but with xperia(.
difference was that sometimes it was suddenly showing that headphone is connected, but actually it was not connected, remaining similar to you .
i found from local repair shop that, its headphone port IC was damaged due to water ingress ( i didnt remember when water gone, but you remember) , seems your issue is similar, any way best of luck
Yes, i have tried it with approx. 5 different ones and nothing changes

I just got this phone a few days ago after upgrading from my old ****ty Xperia XA, and while I really like it, I have a problem with it.
I work as QA in a factory, which means I spend about half my day in a quiet office and the other half in a noisy factory. I receive a lot of phone calls throughot the day, so what I've been doing is that I always have my headset plugged in one ear so I don't disturb my collagues in the office, and I can also hear when someone is calling in the factory (where I can't even feel the vibration in my pocket).
My old phone only rang through the headset when they were plugged in, so this worked perfectly, but now it rings through both the headset and the speaker, and I can't seem to disable only the speakers. So I can either mute the phone, in which case I won't notice it ringing while I'm in the factory, or I can leave it on normal, which means I'm gonna disturb my officemates constantly and make a lot of emberassing situations.
Is there any way to work around this?
