I pre ordered my GS3. Received it on July 9th. I listen to Sirius all day long. The first time I set up my GS3 and turned on Sirius I had a popping and cracking noise (through my BT headphones). I lived with it for about 12 days. Also, when I connected it in my wife's car (BT) it did the same thing. So I called vzw and after going through about an hour of trying different tricks, they sent me a brand new phone. The new phone does NOT do it.

I also tried the headphones that came with my phone and didn't hear it. So for me it was strictly a BT issue. Funny thing though, my new GS3 doesn't get as good of a connection as the first one got. Using the same apps in the same location. So, depends on how bad it affects you. You might end up with a different issue. Oh, and this is my fourth android and I've never had an issue like that.

Elite49, does this happen with the device plugged in to either the PC or the wall, or not at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
For me, it happens in every scenario. It happens with mobile data on/off, airplane mode on/off, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
Same here. It's terrible when the phone is plugged into the car aux. Pops and glitches. Happens in several apps as well (not limited to one). I'm on Bean's R11 anyone know of a solution or source yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
Its most likely because of the kernel (voltages, cpu freg). I had the same problem with imoseyon version 8 and 9 but not 5.

If your kernel can tweak voltages, increase the voltages have helped some peeps (1000 to 1150mV...or higher for lower frequencies).

The other option is to increase your lower CPU frequency until the crackle and pops go away (500 mhz or higher)

Third option is to use another kernel. I have not had this problem with ziggys kernel

Flash the beats by dre dsp or something, Mess with the equalizer. If you listen to music at work or home maybe get some external speakers. Monoprice.com has some cheap nice rechargeable ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
Thanks for this info! I didn't think of it being the kernel as I hadn't seen any "sleeps of death."

I flashed to LK 0.5 and rode for 30 minutes listening to music the whole time. Not one pop or glitch. As the problem was decently intermittent, I'll try it out over the next couple of days. If I get any more pops or glitches, I'll be sure to post.

Thanks again for the input!

Sure man.

Never had any problems with imo.5. Should work out....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
Just to follow up, running LK 0.5 fixed the issue. Also bumped the voltage higher on 0.9 and it also worked. Interestingly enough, I've been on cm10 lately with LK 1.0 and it hasn't had the same issue. Running at 925mv on 384mhz.

I had the same problem even before any ROMs/kernels.. finally called Verizon and got a replacement.. glad I did... music is normal now..

Guess we've been lucky - we play music from both of our stock Galaxy S IIIs in the car and I've recently been using headphones, but I haven't heard crackles or pops during playback.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I still have this problem regardless of kernel/voltage combo however it's only with PowerAmp and only with M4a files. My stock music player has zero audio popping/cracking on those same files which is so odd. I even took the same albums that glitch/pop on my GSIII and put them on my Droid Incredible and played them with PowerAmp. The result was no cracking/popping, which is exactly how audio on that phone has always performed-flawless.

For those still having or that have had this issue, could you post which music file extension had this issue? Example: mp3, AAC, Flac, m4a, etc.

Edit: It almost feels like I'm setting since I can use the stock player but I know PowerAmp (or other music players) offer a more complete listening experience. Maybe I'll try another go at tweaking voltages. Anyone know how they affect your phone btw?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] radiohead14:
this is definitely a software thing. my first GS3 hissed so much. i've since sold it (dropped and cracked the screen), and my new one has zero hiss. it was most noticeable for me when playing cached Spotify tracks on my previous GS3, and now those same tracks are hiss-free.

you guys could try this audio mod too, since i've noticed it did help a bit as well:

my i9300 is same crisp sound on flac , ogg

i had a same problem .

i suspect all high bitrate files (flac) is a problem. But with this hardware????

odd enough some flac with same bitrate is flawless.

i find out all crispy flac is is 96000Hz !

converted one of problematic flac to 44100Hz

BAMM ! not crisp anymore .

So this mean s3 have problem with 96000Hz files ? How?

I have to convert all my files from 96000Hz? :confused:

dont you think flac and 96000Hz is a battery sucker? Its is not a problem on any battery running device? Im a novicer using smartphone, tablet,,, etc...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffyh:
I've been pissed at this since day one with my phone. So what's the deal with this, the US versions have high gain? I'm really confused by how OC'ing the CPU helps. Could someone please explain, is the power of the DAC affected by the power going through the CPU?

I don't run into this problem with the crap samsung headset or bluetooth, but my Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 IEMs do this at anything past 75% volume. They're only spec'd at 13 ohms, 115 dB SPL/mW@1 kHz. Has anyone connected the GS3 to an oscilloscope to figure out the jack output?

Two solutions I've found, use crappier headphones or get an external headphone amp (ie Fiio E11). That thing was the best $50 I've ever spent. They say the E11 isn't meant for low impendance cans (like 15+ ohms or something stupid) or any IEMS, but you can keep it amped low, haha. Now if I could bypass the onboard DAC and get music out of the usb port, i'll be happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chinook9:
I had this problem on my flac files and my 96KHZ files would't play but the latest update to PowerAmp fixed it. Now I can play the flac 44khz high bitrate files flawlessly and the 96khz files with a slight low volume crackle. This is with usb digital audio out to my iBasso d10 DAC/AMP.

I had previously rooted and increased the SD cache but that apparently didn't make any difference because because its not increased now.

I would say, make sure you have the latest update to PowerAmp. This update is optimized for Jelly Bean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffyh:
So this really is a software issue seeing as your dac/amp has more than enough power to run 100+ ohm cans? I wonder what he did in poweramp to fix. Is poweramp built using the native dsp? I'm running playerpro on my s3 and only get it with higher impedance cans.

Btw, how's the d10 and what headphones are you running w that? Also what phone and how are you doing digital audio out over usb???! I've wanted the ibasso dx100 since the day they announced it. Seemed like the perfect solution as my last **** you to apple. I couldn't get away from the ipod bc the 30-pin puts out so much better sound than the headphone jack... and I don't have $1000 to shell out for a android-based DAP :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chinook9:
I was using PlayerPro because I liked the interface better and it was working intermittently about the same as PowerAmp at the time. After the last PowerAmp update came out, however, it was no contest. I believe Jelly Bean is designed to support USB audio out and apparantly some of the PowerAmp mods were aimed at improving this. I just checked PlayerPro and it worked fine but I know I can't count on that.

The S3 outputs digital audio using an OTG cable that puts the S3 into USB host mode.

I really like the D10 and I am using Shure SRH-840, V-Moda M-80, and my favorite, triple-fi 10s with custom molded ear pieces....the latter make a huge difference for $130.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffyh:
Okay, need to get playerpro on board w a fix. Seriously, does anyone know the exact source of the issue? I went through every music player and hated the way they handled ID3 tags and refuse to go back.

Thanks for the info, will definately be implementing that soon.

The triple fi's are sick. I wanted em back in the day but now that same price point gets you the 4 driver ue 900 which reviews say demolish the triplefi. Hows that make ya feel? :D Whatever, I'm still holding off till the day I can afford the ue 18 pro...

I just had the same issue....it'll run you anywhere from 200-250 for a new piece, unless you find a good deal on eBay. I wound up using my TEP and had sprint send me a new phone, it was much cheaper to do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rizdog23:
Damn. Definitely not what I was hoping to hear. Nonetheless thank you for letting me know whats up. Could I probably get the screeen fixed at a sprint repair center that way I would get it back in like a day? Right now the performance of the phone is not hindered in any way so it is not a big deal really.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
When I brought mine in they said they don't fix screen cracks. But give it a shot, maybe they were being lazy at my store - worst they say is no.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkgodz:
sprint ESRP covers 1-2 cracks less than an inch in length. anything more than that, you would need to use the ERP portion of the TEP.

that being said, usually if we have the part, and its a guaranteed fix, we have no issues replacing the part. if we dont have the part, we arent going to order the phone as that would ding back on us.

*by we, i mean the location i work at.

doesnt hurt to make friends with the technicians at your local sprint store and see what they can do.

I cracked my screen in multiple places and I found a link somewhere here for one on eBay. It was some $80, and it took me about 10 mins to replace. I'm very happy with it, the only problem I have is that it has a weird orangeish tinge when I turn the brightness to the lowest setting. But since the most of times I just keep the brightness at 50+, it doesn't bother me at all. So yeah, look on eBay.

Hi Team

Just bought an old HD2 from work and am trying to flash to Android via the method described here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402975

I get as far as the repartition step 13, and when the phone reboots it does not load into CLK fastboot. All that happens is the white HTC screen comes up and doesn't go any further. At this point the phone is not detectable via ADB or normal USB.

The phone is a GSM HD2 and has HSPL 2.08 installed.

Any help recovering this or pushing forward with the flash is much appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shanman-2:
At step 13 you are in recovery trying to install the rom, it should be trying to boot the rom!

If you are in recovery then you have clk installed.

You might not have the correct partition size for your rom, it will not boot if the partition size is too small.

.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stuartgr:
Yeah thats the problem - it goes through the CLK partition/recovery install, and the phone goes from the tricolour screen to the HTC 0-100% screen, reboots and then the white HTC logo screen. From the instructions, I thought the phone would go straight into CLK recovery.

Is there a set of key presses I'm meant to do to trigger recovery?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jianC:
You have to hold "home" while booting to boot into recovery.

I've already have HSPL 2.08, just checked it up to make sure...

1: Wipe task 29.

2: Flash HSPL 2.08

3: Flash Radio 2.15.50.1

5: Flash clk.

6: Hardreset.

7: Holding down homebutton.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shanman-2:
Have you installed cwm recovery?

Thats what your trying to get to holding the home button.

If it's not working after installing recovery go here and go to post three and try installing clk 1.5 using the leoimg.nbh method.

Hold the back button while powering on to get to clk, you can boot to recovery from there and then install rom...

If you get to clk don't forgrt to partition your nand through settings menu..resize partitions...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] two2tee:
Thanks for response, but it seems like it doesn't even boot clk.. Normally when you've flashed clk, the phone should reboot to a black screen with some text and from here you can flash cwm recovery. But in this case, the black screen doesn't even show up.

Could it be that my phone have some hardware faults, or maybe is my HD2 not compatible with the radio (2.15.50.14) which were recommended? :confused:

Anyway, is there some way to see if clk has been flashed properly, just to make sure that it's there?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shanman-2:
The radio is fine for all versions of hd2 and is what I have on my EU version. All I can say is to start from scratch ie. Install hspl 2.08, radio, task 29, then install clk 1.5 again.

In that order...

Sent from the pub...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] two2tee:
Still doesn't solve the problem. I have tried with various kind of orders, but without luck.

Just made a recheck on everything and i can conclude that HSPL 2.08 and the radio 2.15.50.1 is there.

The problem may not be a wrong HSPL or radio, since it's there, but perhaps it might be the phone that doesn't flash clk proberly...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elny16:
Hi Lukes91

Are you suggesting to try install TWRP recovery and then remove it before installing CWM recovery?

As I explained, while trying to install cLK my HD2 gets stuck at step 13 when I had partitioned internal memory but phone does not boot into cLK Bootloader. So phone is not getting to Fastboot stage and not detectable via USB (my Windows 7 PC is not detecting any new device and not attempting as it should to install or at least ask for its drivers).

Could you write more detailed instructions on what you had done or compare your steps to the guide and let me know what you did differently apart from TWRP. If there is no other way, I will try TWRP way. But I also prefer CWM Recovery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukes91:
well, that's what i did in the order i did it:

1) drivers from activesync or WMDC

2) hspl 2.08 cotulla

3) radio 2.15.50.14

4) clk 1.5.2.0 + twrp as they were part of a single package

5) drivers from google to have fastboot recognizing hd2

6) flashed cmw (i used touch beta 8 RC1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419733) via fastboot to overwrite twrp (to enter fastboot mode just enter clk main screen)

7) entered clk and changed partition sizes to fit ones required by my rom

8) entered recovery and flashed rom

9) enjoy :)

i assumed that you have already installed fastboot on your pc, otherwise look aroun for guides, it's plenty of them :)

edit: i've read the guide, but i did't use clk from hd2 toolkit, as 1.5.2.0 is much better, because you can change partition layout from the device... look around for clk 1.5.2.0 or 1.5.2.1, both provided with twrp
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elny16:
Hi lukes91

No matter how silly it might seem but just thought to check with you. What stage at did you "Wipe (Task29)" your phone? You have not specified this step. Did you actually do it?

So far I have:

- downgraded ROM with SPL-1.42

- installed HSPL 2.08 Cotulla

- then Radio 2.15.50.14 (at this stage my phone is still booting to WM6.5 and I can see this Radio version in About Phone section - just to be sure it has been done correctly)

Should I have Wiped (Task29) before or after installing Radio 2.15.50.14 ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukes91:
well, i don't remember i did task 29 (maybe i did but forgot :D even i don't think so), but if you still boot WM6.5 you need task29 just after HSPL and before radio...

edit: if memory serves me right, there is a version of Task29 (i think the name was "provided by doloop" but absolutely not sure) that after wiping automatically installs radio 2.15.50.14... if i find something i post it here :)

edit2: sorry, can't find that (probably i read something wrong or i imagined it somewhere long ago), but even if other users state that task29 doesn't delete radio, when i perform it i usually flash again the radio, just to be sure...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metzalx:
As mentioned above try to play a game that uses the accelerometer...Most racing games out there should do it. If they don't work, your accelerometer might be problematic.

Seems suspicious that the problems only appeared after you switched on screen rotation again.
