I get both the beeps and the hissing that you demonstrate.

I believe the beeps are to detect the kind of headset that's plugged in. The jack will output some beeps and see if it's detected through the microphone pin. If it is, it knows these are shorted thus it's not a headset. This also explains the common problem where not inserting headphones quick enough will cause the phone to detect it as a headset.

As for the hissing, I'm pretty sure this is interference. I only get it when I'm charging but it's possible that it also exists in a small amount when off the charger, or some devices just might have it worse than others. This would explain why when the phone incorrectly detects headphones as a headset, slightly moving the plug will cause Google Now or Voice Dialer to pop up. This is because a headset will quickly short two pins when a button is pressed.

If I'm right, the beeps could be fixable in a modified firmware, but the hissing will not.

[G3 General] klubmix:
No background noises even in navigation between menus or other tasks. Fully satisfied at the moment, except for the bluetooth that still remains an issue in my G3.
[G3 General] Vidfreek:
Mine only has buzzing/hissing when its plugged in to charge AND with no sound coming out, when its playing music or a ringtone through the headphone jack, all is fine otherwise. Dont mind the interference from charging as long as it doesnt do it when I'm actually playing music or sounds, which it doesnt :)
[G3 General] dante020:
For what it's worth I had a very similar issue back when I had an HTC Rezound. This is likely a hardware interference issue and seems like it has something to do with CPU power draw. In my case, it was a radio interference issue that was drastically worsened in low-reception areas where the cell signal was coming through as audible noise. I attempted to shield the phone using aluminum foil which completely solved by interference issues but also killed cell reception. At that point I just returned the phone for something that actually worked.

If I recall correctly they did eventually release a software update that helped the problem a bit but it was still present - they probably just added some sort of filter or processing to cover it up.

my guess too - well let's see :good:
[G3 General] xHawaiiToast:
Hey, I'm from Germany and I have the same problem. I had 2 G3's and my friend has one as well and all of them have the same problem like you mentioned in your thread. This is a very difficult situation because no one can say if this is a software or a hardware based problem.

All I can do is telling you my experiences with that.

On my first G3 the hissing was very massive. On every song with quiete passages I was able to hear the hissing sound, but I didn´t notic hissing anywhere else.

On my second G3 I wasn´t able to hear hissing sound in the same software version. v10l. BUT today I updated my G3 to 5.0 lollipop and the hissing sound suddenly appeared again. And not only while I was playing music. When I put the volume high I can hear many different strange noises depending on what I´m doing in the system. And another strange thing appeared. When I plug the headphones in, unplug them, make a call and plug them in again I still have the hissing noise problem.

And the best thing I find out is that when I plug the cable of my headphones in first AND THAN put the cable into my headphones I don´t see the headphone icon in the status bar. Instead it shows a cable in the status bar and when it shows the cable all works perfectly fine. No strange noises, no hissing, no cracks or something else like that while playing music and while music is not played. Not in the system and not in any app.

I think its a software based issue because of this things I found out.

What are you guys thinking about that? Experienced something else? I really need as much information about this as I can because I have the option to send the G3 back till 31th January.

*And sorry for my bad english :D 1. I´m German and 2. I´m tired. :D
[G3 General] TotallydubbedHD:
ah nice - thanks for sharing! :)

Well - as far as the issues go...well I returned mine already.
[G3 General] Kris G:
I JUST got the Verizon G3, and I have had this problem also. I have NOT used headphones, but when watching a video from my SD card, I heard a very distinct whine/buzz sound under the audio track. It's not on when I am not playing audio, so not sure what other people are referring to... The video was an HD high audio quality show, and I have played YouTube streaming, low quality vids, etc. with no other issues...
[G3 General] lukas77:
I have this awful sound stuttering / choppy sound while listening music over BT headset. Horrible, it happening like every 10 minutes and I have to pause the track and play, it's ok for another 10 minutes and starting over. I'm fed up. Official lollipop ROM.
[G3 General] netmaniack:
That sound is called noise floor and every audio device have its noise floor in some level, even if it is quiet as -120dbFS or -150dbFS that You can't hear and for humans it is silence. Lg G3 noise floor is -99.4dbFS and that is the lowest noise floor that GsmArena have ever seen on phone, (till date of review writing) it is unnoticeable (very hard to notice if You listen very closely in very quiet environment) for humans. Problem is software, because after call, as mentioned, do clean this issue and on 24bit silence audio file (max peak from dither is -116dbFS) test I hear nothing, complete silence. Before call I heard very high noise floor on test file and even bigger noise from system sounds like unlocking phone and browsing settings. Lets hope that update will fix this issue and ad temporary solution just make a call.

EDIT: After a while problem comes back. I will investigated to check what triggers it.
[G3 General] sulkie:
Hey guys, I had the same issue described in the thread. Noise and artifacts in one channel when headphones were recognized as a headset, and no issues when on line-out.

Well here's a fix for it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59601465&postcount=150

I have stock rom in which I changed 2 files, mixer_paths.xml and mixer_paths_qcwcn.xml and the audio issue is gone. You can also try deleting those lines instead of changing the value to 0. Backup the original mixer files just in case, and dont forget to set the permissions.
[Moto X Q&A] tomh12player:
Both ROMs are stock based and have basic stock custom ROM scripts, init support, xposed, etc so is there much of a difference at all? Besides the minor differences like Krypton having more updated updated system apps are there any reasons to use one over the other?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dhicky:
Hello guys, I updated my Xperia Z's firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 (292) a week ago. I really like the update, its much smoother, but I noticed that the camera is really poor even in the outdoor with less light exposure (its fine with good light exposure). I see theres too much color noise, it destroys every photos. And the indoor is much worse, moreover if i use the front camera. I used to very love taking pictures with my lovely XZ, but never save any with 4.4.4 camera :( . 4.4.4 camera is unlike the camera in the 4.4.2 with much lesser noise and unnoticeably color noise at all. I took random pictures and loved it so much. I wanna know if I could replace the 4.4.4 camera software with the 4.4.2 ones. Could it be by Flashing the 4.4.2 camera software/system to my 4.4.4 firmware or something? and how? Please help. Thank you so much developers..

Then I compared it. Its clear that the 4.4.4 brings more color noise. :( so now I'm using 4.4.2.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primetechv2:
If you are technologically adept, feel free to read only the bold.

1. Remove your card from the tablet and plug it into your computer, using any kind of adapter.

2. On a PC, you can find the microSD card by choosing Computer from the Start menu, or by opening Explorer on Windows 8 (and then looking for Computer to the left).

3. Copy all the files and folders you want to save off the SD card. To be safe, you might want to copy everything and run a storage scanner like the free WinDirStat on your folders before you delete everything.

4. Right-click on the microSD card and click Format. Set the Type to NTFS and the allocation size to Default. Click Format again.

5. Pop the microSD card back into your tablet. It should bloody work.

It should bloody work, but for some of us it doesn't! I have a Team 64gb class 10 card, and I simply can't use it on my Shield.
