And you will get it with every Android phone, even ones double more expensive.

Go buy Win phone or some Nokia crap with Symbian, maybe they don't have problem with hissing sound.

Listening to Queen on my urBeats headphones, and having unique experience.

[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
In Serbia it's around 200e and it's less expensive when you buy it with a contract, I got mine for less then 90e.

And every Android phone has that sound.
[HTC Desire X] Leon:

HTC Desire X - Background Hiss - Solution

The HTC Desire X is the first android phone with this background hiss during music playback I've ever had. Sony and Samsung (Arc S / Galaxy Ace) did a better job in this aspect. But I still like the HTC sense interface and the design of the Desire X.

Here is the workaround that I use to avoid the background hiss when listening to music. I think this solution can be applied to all HTC models:

1) Get headphones with an integrated volume control like the "Sennheiser MX 580" (sounds by the way excellent)

2) Decrease the volume on the headphones by 50% and increase the volume on your HTC device

3) Optionally: activating the "Beats Audio" feature will help to increase the volume furthermore

3) The annoying hiss sound is almost gone! :victory:

Remark: using less sensitive headphones like the "AKG 172" seems to solve the problem too.

I've heard that many of the HTC models are affected by the hiss problem (Desire X, One S, One X). Has somebody made some experiences with the HTC One X+ and One SV mentioned the hiss noise? :confused:

Thx.
[HTC Desire X] ayyu3m:
A very nice input and observation. I really like the way you have explained your findings. Gives a relief somewhat. :D
[HTC Desire X] lazygazelle:
I went and tried the SV in an EE store and on first impressions it was much better, to the point I could hardly hear any hiss. Less noticeable than on the One X I'd tried the week before, and way better than the Desire X. I was in store though, so it's hard to test properly. I think I'm going to take the plunge and get one, so will report back when I've listened in detail. I don't expect a hiss free phone, but just for it not to sound like I've recorded all my mp3s to cassete ;)
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
This is my third HTC phone, plus I tried a lot of other phones and they all have the same hissing sound. The only thing here is that some douche started complaining about something that even he doesn't know about what, and all you started following like sheep.

I'm just not sure why do you have phones, to use it or to complain about.
[HTC Desire X] jotha:
Please choose your words a bit more carefully ;).
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
Sorry, my mistake...
[HTC Desire X] csc_pub:
anyone sent in their phone and manage to get rid of the hiss ? Thinking of sending in to the repair centre.
[HTC Desire X] lazygazelle:
Earlier in the thread you'll see that @nathb sent theirs back and the replacement had exactly the same problem. It looks like there is no known fix at the mo - poor hardware seems to be the consensus.

To update you on the One SV, for anyone who's interested: I've had it since Monday. There is still the 3 seconds or so of hiss when you stop any audio if you have the volume turned up, but there is no noticeable hiss on calls like with the DX, and the background hiss when listening to music with the headphones is far more minimal - I can certainly live with it, and very happy with the phone in general :)
[HTC Desire X] csc_pub:
What about Bluetooth earpiece ?
[HTC Desire X] radkol:
Hello,

recently I have bought two devices HTC Desire X.

As those are first smartphones for my wife and myself we had made investigation and finally have chosen that device, it's really lovely and performing so far great. I'm impressed and really like them.

But we have faced several issues mentioned in a separate topic, but those issues are really shame for such a great device and HTC name..

The biggest and serious issue we have faced is the white/hiss noise when we are on the call with another person. One of devices has higher level of noise than the other, but in both cases the noise is too much for such a device. Much cheaper and many other devices doesn't have such a noise. I've checked with other devices and other HTC devices as well as in internet and seems like a general problem with many of HTC devices. Many people complaining from the same noise which seems available at different level of different HTC phones, also available when listening to music.

I've check HTC Desire HD - has a noise maybe a bit lower bit it's there, checked pretty old Samsung i5500 or something, but again android device and guess what it's not there or at very low level.

So it seems like it's not general android phone issue.

Even more, as I said on one of our DX is lower than the other, and it happened they have different ROM and being prepared for different operators and country.

The one with more noise is for Orange CH version 1.14.65.1, the other with lower noise got updated to 1.14.118.1 as it seems for T-Mobile PL.

Although it's more like a HW issue which is a real shame, I'm wondering whether it could be somehow related to different ROM version or it's been just a matter of luck.

I've wrote to HTC Support as well and will see.
[HTC Desire X] nasty007:
my DX was having so much noise that I could not speak normally, so I did shut up and return this piece of **** back

PS. my old wildfire still has a better sound quality then DX
[HTC Desire X] kye04:
WIldfire s sound is incredible good comparing with Desire X ....
[HTC Desire X] panos_ts:
A small update on this issue...

A few days ago I sent my phone to HTC for repair, just as they had told me to on their mail. I just received it, with a note that they had replaced the "Speaker AAC Electronics DMSP09" and that after their check they found that the phone was ok.

Unfortunately the phone is not ok... The hiss noise is still present.

I recontacted them and I asked to speak directly with their service department, but they denied.

Now I'm waiting for them to contact me (I'll report back when they do), and I hope that we gonna find a solution.
[HTC Desire X] kye04:
Any of you updated to JB ?? Did the update solved the problem ??
[HTC Desire X] ORA 1:
I hear that Problem is On J B as well
[HTC Desire X] aimfull:
I only have it on JB but that is because of the bugs

Sent from my router.
[HTC Desire X] lazygazelle:
On my One SV, the playback on JB really seems to struggle. Lots of glitches and jitters using Soundcloud, Spotify and PocketCasts. Not sure if's the same for you Desire users. The phone is generally slower too. Frustrating.
[HTC Desire X] torchevo:
Desire X hiss noise - related to manufacturing date?

Hi everyone,

I thought picking up this old thread was better than creating a new one. Correct me if I'm wrong...

I'm new on this forum and ended up here upon investigating the hiss noise problem of the DX I just bought.

I've read all the info I could find on this topic without fining any good answers. However, it seems as if most reports were from when the DX was fairly new and that makes me suspect is was perhaps only a problem on early models.

So, I checked the manufacturing date/ os loading date on my phone and it seems its been sitting on the shelf for quite some time: 2012/10/30

How to check: (taken from http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x/267674-how-find-out-date-manufacture.html)

Power off the phone ,hold the volume down button in then push power button and hold lights will flash a bout twelve times. A screen should come up then with wording on the left side with "locked" in red at the top,read down and see a date that should be the date the os was loaded. That screen is called the bootloader scroll down to "reboot" with the volume down button then push the power button and it should reboot

Seems like lot

Another way to see MFD is at HTC official ch support. (taken from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2209277)

http://219.80.249.25/IMEIQuery/IMEIQuery.aspx?ct=zh-CN

(It's no big deal to figure what to fill in the fields even without Chinese translation)

This gave the date 2012/12/26 for my DX, which corresponds fairly well with the above.

So, it would be really interesting if anyone of you DX owners, both with and without the hiss noise could check your MFD.

This would help a lot with my RMA and hopefully also others as I've read of several user that just has got their DX fixed/replaced and still have the same problem.

Thanks for any help.
[HTC Desire X] SoulSeekerHS:
April 2013 and I do have the hiss.

I concluded it's an issue with all DXs and some people just don't have hat sensitive ears ;)
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
12th of April 2013, I've got the noise as well. But I think that's pretty normal that you have it, only on our DX it's a bit stronger then on other devices like mp3 players. It also depends which kind of headset or earphones you use.
[HTC Desire X] Leon:
The fist few days when i buy it i was aways with headache :X :X But now dont bother me...PS I have Beats by dr dre and the noise is still there...+Sometime when i talk big ECHO like im in cave or something...
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
That can also be caused by your carrier...
[HTC Desire X] torchevo:
Thanks allot for sharing guys, although it was not what I had hoped for. Perhaps dx owners who havent got the hiss dont hang around in this thread...

Of course one can get use to it to a certain degree, but I'm not sure I want to. One of my first calls was a 30-minute call and I found it really annoying and tiring. Really a pity on such a nice phone.

Not having much hope, but let's see what I get back from my RMA...
[HTC Desire X] SoulSeekerHS:
Make sure to report back. If I would just hear one guy confirm that an RAM actually got rid of the hiss, I might be tempted to jump through the hoops myself...
[HTC Desire X] torchevo:
I promise to report back. My DX has now been forwarded from retailer to HTC service centre. Fingers crossed!

Does anyone know if the DX dual SIM version also suffers from hiss? Since they are very similar engineering-wise, my guess is that they're most likely also affected but I would prefer any first hand experience.
[HTC Desire X] oddoneout:
Hiss noise was reduced significantly when I started using Poweramp and SRS.
[HTC Desire X] torchevo:
But that wont affect the noise when calling, will it?

I got it back yesterday, long wait but as I suspected it came back just as noisy. Now trying to get a money back return.

Anyone know if the double SIM version's are any better?

I really like the spec, format and most of all battery time.

Im also considering the Desire V. It has lower spec, but prerhaps less noise. I havent found any noise threads in the Dexire V section of this forum. Can anyone confirm first hand?
[HTC Desire X] torchevo:
The dual sim version is just as noisy, but hey, check this fix out:

[HTC Desire X] Fznwolf:
Hi

I've stumbled across this thread in search for an answer. I can confirm my old samsung galaxy s3 and Htc One m7 both had the hiss. I've seen it referred to as "The android hiss".

That said i'm unsure if its Android related or Hardware related. I've even read of the new HTC One M8 having the hiss. I've always kept an old iPhone for music, how sad is that? :(

This hiss is related to the headphone sensitivity, so if you are plugging in high impedance/non sensitive cans you will not hear the hiss. For me this is unacceptable, it is a mobile device it should be able to delver clean sound to sensitive IEMs.
[HTC Desire X] soberspine:
Just my opinion.

I tested all smart phones I could put my hands on and all do have hiss noise, including iphone. On some it is more noticeable.

All have the hiss noise because they all use "all in one chip", the dac is integrated with the gpu, cpu, etc. so no matter what phone you get you will get the same integrated dac.

so until the chip maker will find a way to remove the hiss noise no matter what phone you get you will have hiss noise.

I did not test phones with Intel chip, so maybe someone can tell us if the hiss noise is present also in phones with intel chips.

somebody please help me...:(

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higgins12:
Why in first case did you flash a ROm which isn't intended to be for your device? :)

Well you killed your EFS partition (bricked)

I hope you mad a EFS backup BEFORE you flashed. So you can restore it and all will be fine.

You could try the Stock Firmware via Mobile Odin if it fixes your EFS problem. No Guarantee here, sometimes it dsoes work and sometimes not.

Good luck to you

hmm.. i never used Samsung device before.. this is my first Samsung device i have ever..

and also, i have tried to wipe data from CWM, why my Note2 device still can boot?

i mean, like not wiped the data completely
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisaw:
I believe the reason you are experiencing this issue is because this new firmware you flashed doesn't contain a custom radio and the n7100 firmware did. You will need to find a n7105 radio, flash that through CWM or TWRP and you should be back in business mate. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benatis:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakalrtb:
Would be glad to help you but you seem to have skipped the first rule : read, read, read before you do anything else. You even admitted that this is your first Samsung device, so why did u assume that everything should have been htc like ?

Anyhow, you can try to flash the newest 4.1.2 update for the 7105, even though I fear that your problem is your efs folder, and since this is unique for each device, no flashing any rom will put it back in place.

im sorry, im not experienced with samsung devices
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakalrtb:
Since you said that the phone is from Australia and Optus you may want to flash its original firmware back in place :

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N7105&pcode=OPS&os=1&type=1#firmware

If you do not use the phone in Australia you may want to find a firmware (if available) for your device/geographical region.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ststar8623:
I am facing the same problem you had before, however when i try to Odin the stock 4.1.1 firmware back to the phone, it stops at the Samsung logo when restarting. I have to force back to recovery mode to flash the omega back to have it start again. Can you please tell me the steps you did on putting back to stock firmware? thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
If you haven't yet reflashed the EFS partition (don't do that, ever ! unless you have a good reundant set of backups), you actually don't need to reflash to stock firmware at all (and I doubt that it'd do any good anyways. It just puts back a generic EFS with the files set at default values, but certainly can't put back the data you had in your own device's EFS, this is unique to each phone).

Just head on over to the Galaxy S2 forums and look for a thread called "Restore your IMEI in 9 steps" (something like that. There's actually quite a number of threads describing the same procedure, you can find them by searching "samsung restore imei" in all forums, works just as well).

I had the same problem the other day (and no backup of course, silly and impatient me... :p), it worked like a charm.. ;)

[HTC Sensation] dohclude:
I got a brand new Sensation 4G from T-Mobile back in March. It started getting dust under the digitizer at the top of the screen so I took it in to my local T-Mobile shop. They said it was still under warranty, but I'd have to pay $20 and that they couldn't repair it or replace it with another Sensation. They only offered me a Galaxy S Blaze (which I feel is an inferior phone) as a replacement. If I wanted an equal or better phone to replace it they said I'd have to pay full price for a phone since I'm not eligible for an upgrade till February. Basically, I have to pay $20 to downgrade my phone. I thought a warranty meant they would repair the phone for me, I was frankly appalled at the lack of service I received and just walked out of the store. Has anyone else experienced this with them on the Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Sadly I think they are doing this now because they no longer sell sensations. I had a similar experience with my last device which they gave me a my touch slide to replace it. It was a piece of junk. Out of my frustration and being in contact I paid full price to get my sensation. Which I'm still paying off after a year on there payment plan. This is how they stick you. I called the other day to see how much I had left to pay and was disgusted at there amount still owed after putting 200 down! It's shameful that they don't support their devices and the sensation is not that old! I'm really sorry this happened to you but there is not much we can to but lodge a complaint to T-Mobile. I know it's very frustrating. I wish you the best. Good luck.
