[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flintdragon:
I haven't seen this posted about the Note. Does anyone else have a bad hiss when listening to music? Using Google Music and spotify, there is a definite hiss in the background.

I realize the Note's audio chip isn't great but I wasn't expecting this. Coming from the Captivate, this is really annoying me at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unibomber:
I hear it only in headphones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
I don't hear it on the speaker or via BT. Haven't used the headphone jack yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flintdragon:
Right, only on headphones. Quite loud and intrusive. I listen to my good quality in-ears at work for hours every day. I can't believe just how crappy the sound is on this otherwise fantastic device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Ok, you got me wondering so I put on a decent pair of over-the-ear cans and spent 10 minutes flipping through a half-dozen channels of XM (128 kbps streaming). Then 5 more minutes going through several high-quality MP3s (variable bitrate with a max of 224 kbps).

No hiss, no background noise at all during the soft parts. Cranked the volume up to max, no distortion. Very happy with the results - much better than my last phone, the onboard sound on that sucked.

I'm on the stock rom, are you using something else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkops32:
For mere there's some noise when I'm not listening to anything, but I only hear it on my headphones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rknight68:
In car Hiss

have not noticed it with headphones...but.....While using the car dock, any pause in the music whether it be on Pandora, Google Music, or just no app selected, There is a really annoying hiss/feedback through the speakers in the car. This is using the audio output connected to my stereo's AUX input.

It's just like a bad ground "whine" on a stereo...speeds up and down with the car. Never did this before with any other phone/device, so I know it's the note or the dock. I have not tried connected directly to the headphone jack on the note, I'll have to try that out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Yeah the skyrocket did that too. I have a video up on you tube of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flintdragon:
As stock as can be here. The hiss is most apparent at the beginning of the track when it starts playing but no music yet. As soon as the track starts playing, you can here it click on with the hiss.

Did I get a defective one?

I'm using a very good pair of in-ears (UE700s). I'll try to dig up some cans later to try it. Maybe directing sound directly onto the ear drums via in-ears picks up the hiss better (less natural filtering?).

Another thought: is there an internal amp volume/gain? Listening to the in-ears, it seems the media volume is very loud even at low settings and amps up quickly with each keypress. Maybe there is another sound tweak I can make somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
A common problem if you are also charging - you are setting up a ground loop. You can add a ground loop isolator on the audio cable (big and clunky), unplug the power, or unplug the audio (and use BT in its place).

While I'm not a die-hard audiophile (I won't spend 10K on a sound system) I do consider myself to be pretty selective. Partly why I ripped my CD collection @ 224 and not something lower - I did lots of tests beforehand and still could hear subtle differences @ 192. Also why I rarely buy 128 kbps mp3s. Anyway, for better or for worse I just don't hear anything negative so maybe yours is defective. I will bust out some in-ear buds tonight and take another listen.

Often media players will have a separate volume from the phone's "media volume". Then there are separate "media volume" settings for BT and the jack. Then don't forget internal volume on BT headphones. It can take some fiddling to find the best combination.

I had the same thing with all my devices. Its just bad ground. That cable will get you set straight.

I never listened to my note with headphones, just with my car stereo with that cable. I hear absolutely no hissing or whining noise, just absolute beautiful sound and bass. This phone is mounds better than the Captivate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flintdragon:
Well, I retried some EQ/volume apps that I might has used recently to make sure there isn't any overboost feature enabled but nothing I can do to solve my problem. argh...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keilbaca:
I never tried headphones in my Note with the stock sound equalizer. I had already installed the Beats by Dre mod in the developer's forum.

Zero hum whatsoever, and my happy hardcore sounds amazing. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
I too have hiss from the headphone jack. I just returned my first Note yesterday hoping that the hiss would go away. It did not. I use mine in the car with an adapter that hooks directly to the back of my radio (JVC proprietary style).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flintdragon:
Huh... I was about to return mine today but maybe it might be fruitless? Or maybe there is a large quantity with hiss and others without?

For those with no hiss, do you find the volume to be very loud? What I'm talking about is even at low settings, just 2-3 notches above silent, the volume is already pretty loud. My phone feels like the internal "gain" was set too high.

I know on my captivate, I could set the media volume to about 40% and still be comfortable. On my Note, it's about 20-30% if that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] klee2000:
Does volume of the note sounds real low to you compared to smaller phones???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flintdragon:
No, it is TOO LOUD. just a couple notches above zero and some music is already getting too loud. This is with headphones not internal speaker.

I just got back from swapping my phone from the AT&T store. Both models (black/white) on display had the hiss. I decided to go ahead and swap and maybe a new shipment had an updated phone. NOPE, the hiss is still there.

I've used 3 different in-ears (couldn't find any over the ear cans) and also tested on a captivate and galaxy tab 10.1. It's the Note that is doing the hissing and very noticeable even at low volumes. Easiest to hear is right when you track begins but before the music starts.

I think this might be a deal breaker for me. :( I love this thing though. Especially irritating with spotify between tracks.

music end -> hiss -> soundless gap -> hiss 0> music starts

Anyone know of an app (probably one that requires root) that can adjust the internal gain like what voodoo sound did?

This older thread I just found (post #5) seems to describe my problem as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
In order to quantify if this is hardware or not, try doing a factory reset (since you've returned your phone it shouldnt be that big of a deal).

Then, using the stock player on the phone (feel free to update Google Music or any other apps that came with the phone) see if you have the same hiss.

The factory reset is to determine if its possibly an app you installed at some point that is 'boosting' the sound internally without your knowledge. Sound boosting can create signal to noise problems.

Make sure your phone isnt plugged in / charging to anything (not plugged into a PC for example).

And try moving around to different locations, for example, in your house, try going into your front / back yard and see if the problem persists.

You also might try a different set of headphones and see if you have the same issue.

And lastly, if you plug in the headphones and reboot the phone, once the phone is fully booted, check to see if you hear any hiss WITHOUT any apps open?

As a side note, I just tested this (believe it or not, Ive had the Note for 3 weeks now and never plugged in headphones) using Seinnheiser studio HD 600 headphones (very expensive at around $600 for a pair and VERY power efficient) and have no hiss. However, the sound quality isnt all that great but that is a different issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flintdragon:
Thanks for your helpful tips. Unfortunately, I've tried all that. Factory reset and all. As soon as the phone is ready to go, I listen to some music and hear the hiss immediately. Home or office, no difference. Not plugged in. Different in-ears. 4 different Notes.

I'm using very good in-ears (UE 700s, dual armature) and also decent SuperFi.3s.

Something interesting. Took a listen to a friend's good headphones just now and do not hear any hiss. Even if the media volume cranked up close the max, sounded fine, no hiss and listenably loud. With the in-ears, I can barely get half way up in volume because it becomes too loud.

Anyone here use in-ears? I know most prefer headphones or earbuds.

I'm going to try an inline attenuator tonight to see if that helps (if I can find it!).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
What do you mean 'as soon as the phone is ready to go'?

As in, the instant you plug in headphones the hiss is there?

My guess is likely that the in-ear headphones are putting the sound right up to your ear drum and they likely are super sensitive.

The sound chip in the Note is not near to as good as the sound chip in the Captivate.

Im going to do a bit more experimenting with this as the only headphone I have are the seinnheisers and they arent exactly great for portable listening. I have a friend coming over tonight who has some very high quality in-ear headphones and Ill see if I hear anything with those.
[HTC Sensation] PP337:
Hi there! The title kinda explains my question.

My question is this, I am sending my sensation away for repairs this week and it is S-OFF but running a stock rom, is it necessary for me to get it back to S-ON to send it to HTC?

Thanks in advance

Paddy
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Yep. S-off voids warranty.
[HTC Sensation] Sensation-al!:
Well I have had two warranty repairs while s-off :D not sure if you want to risk it but I did and it worked TWICE!!
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
@sensation-al. Interesting!
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I'd still send it back S-ON to be on the safe side
[HTC Sensation] PuscH:
I agree with EddyOS, I'd S-ON before sending it back.
[HTC Sensation] theeddy42:
That is of cource, if you S-OFFed with Revolutionary.

IF you used the unlocker on htcdev, your warranty is voided.

Apparently if some providers don't even check for S-OFF, there is a chance that you'd get through with. But as everyone said: S-ON is the safest :)
[HTC Sensation] PP337:
Thanks for the replies, I shall go with the safe option and put it back to S-ON
[Nokia Lumia 800] bnathan:
Does the Lumia 800 show a H for HSDPA and H+ for HSDPA+ connections? Mine only ever shows 3G.
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlitterTwisted:
I have the H on my screen now. Don't think I've ever seen a plus sign though.
[Nokia Lumia 800] bnathan:
In settings under "Highest connection speed" does it have the option for HSDPA? Mine has Edge or 3G thats it.
[Nokia Lumia 800] HazzaBlake:
Same here, but i swear I've seen a 'H' up there before... hmmm
[Nokia Lumia 800] jnr21:
I have only 3G and E in settings and i have never seen H icon in signal bar or in settings.
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
HSDPA actually is 3G. HSDPA is just a little bit faster than the actual 3G, and is often referred as 3,5G. It's normal you cannot choose HSDPA in your settings, because it uses the same band(s) as 3G does, and the phone will of course prefer HSDPA over 3G if available.
[Nokia Lumia 800] bnathan:
So why doesn't it show H when I am downloading with obvious HSDPA speeds? If I speed test my Lumia and my Nexus the Nexus is WAY faster.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
If it doesn't show H, and your Nexus is way faster, then clearly it's only on 3G.
[Nokia Lumia 800] bnathan:
But why?

This phone supports HSDPA and I am within a coverage area (as shown by the Nexus speeds) so why does it not connect as such?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ChrisKringel:
I'm on the german O2 Network with an unbranded Lumia 800 and I notivec everything: G, E, 3G and H. Everything is shown when I'm in a covered area.
[Nokia Lumia 800] VoodooKing:

[Nokia Lumia 800] tjramage:

[Nokia Lumia 800] bnathan:

Have you looked at your APN settings? You might need to configure those according to your carrier/network...

Has anyone tried using an IPSEC VPN connection - type PSK with XAUTH to connect to a VPN?

I've used the settings I've entered on iphones, ipads and with numerous software VPN clients, both Windows and Mac. I simply cannot get it to connect.

I've looked at the logs on the firewall - The SA and username look correct, but it still says that there is no match found.

Has anyone tried this or any other VPN type with any success?

Well I have my setup at my parents house so that I can remotely access their computer at any time (VNC client). They aren't the most tech savvy so it's a benefit to me so I can "fix" any problems or do general maintenance on the machine. Well this is the second time this week I randomly go to log on and notice firefox minimized with two active windows for porn sites...:confused: :o

Awkward much? My parents are happily married over 30 years but my dad's retired so he's home during the day while my mother is working.

I just politely covered his paper trail these two times (close it and delete cookies/browsing history/etc.).

Would you say something to your dad or just play dumb??? I'm not suspicious of anything bad but it just seemed really weird to stumble on.
[Off-topic] Archer:
It's just awkward for you really, isn't it. I've stumbled upon various things whilst fixing other people's PCs, or once when wiping down a PC for a deceased friend's family. My opinion is to just act as if you never saw it. I just don't see the point in the embarrassment for either party. That's my opinion anyway.
[Off-topic] cabessius:
The way you handle this is closely related to the kind of relationship you have with your father. If it was my father, after laughing a lot I would even call him and recommend him the best porn sites across the web:)

But if the relation is more "serious" you should just ignore what happened. I don´t think that is something you should worry about.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashstock:
Hello,

I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.

When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.

So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.

for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS
