[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Racinghart91:
Hi guys, my wife just got het mate 7 yesterday.

but she says she hears a weird noise coming from it (it sounds like a hard disk drive from a computer that is writing)

i know this cant be it becouse a phone does not have a hard drive like in a computer.

any idea's here or did anyone of you had the same problem ?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Racinghart91:
I just listened but it comes from the speaker. It sounds like a distortion and it comes randomly... I have no idea what it could be

so more people have this ??

i did that allready, i know something about android so i really did everything that could cause the noise.. looked into all running apps but nothing is there..

Did you even check the link i posted on first page?

Everything is explained there.

I found that after 5 mins of research...
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Racinghart91:
yeah of course i did. but its not the case man and those guys have a nexus 7, i think a hardware fault won´t be the same from two seperate manufacturers.

even at higher volume you hear it, and its not only when u play a game. its even when u lock the screen and put the phone on the table.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MUG3NHC:
I believe this is the same issue. The noise occures after every action causing sound. Keyboard, game, touch screen. It keeps going after a few seconds when you lock the phone and then stops. I doesn't matter that the other device is nexus. This problem happens cos of cheaper speakers used so it can happen in any device.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomthedead:
strange noise mine too

Mine too, it´s the chinese gold model, TL10.

First of all, forgive my mistakes, English is not my first language, I am Spanish. :o

I have the Mate 7 since february and I never realized of that noise until a couple of days, when (like a person here said) I turned off everything in my room and THEN I realized that sound that came out of the speaker, as other people said, totally random, I have some apps, nothing strange. Even more, the noise even starts just when I switch the airplane mode and just that. So I presumed that is a thing of the cpu or the ram...when I just move between screens no noise is there, but just when I open anything (facebook, whatssap...or like I said, just switching on simply things from notification bar), the noise sounds for 5 o 6 seconds and just go.

I´m sad because I am SO IN LOVE with this phone (specially the gold one, is pure beauty), and if Huawei, who basically is the most reliable chinese brand (at least for me),fails in hardware issues in new phones (and it´s more expensive one)...I´m done with chinese phones.

In other hands, the phone works flawlessly and as I said, I love it so much...even just let my iphone 6 and galaxy note 4 little forgotten (yes, I have a "huge" collection ;) )

For those who said it is normal or not...I had in my life...maybe like twelve smartphones, first time I heard this sound. In the other hand, as others said, you can even notice if it´s not a total silence in the room. And finally, THANK YOU because I thought the noise came out from the micro usb charger "hole" and I learned HERE that comes from the speaker...I am worried but a little bit less worried. :D

Obviously is not a good thing and I´ll wait if goes worse or louder...but one thing for sure, no problems or lags in the phone, whatever. We´ll see.

PS: doing tests, as I said, moving between screens, no noise, any other action ever simply ones, the noise is there...any clues? WHAT moves the screen and WHAT opens an app? RAM or CPU? Both?

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

I quoted this from one of the last pages of the thread that is linked few posts before and...just that. It´s a problem of the speaker, just buzzing static sound caused by the processor and the cheap speaker. When I plugged a pair of headphones, the speaker is off and it´s no noise there no matter what you do. And I did not listened any kind of strange noise from the headphones doing the same things so is just the speaker and the technical explanation is in that thread, supposedly from a sound expert. I am less less worried now. :fingers-crossed: :good: ;)

hi all ,

we all share the passion for advanced technology in our cellphones , which made our life easier and let our previous dreams come true ( like fingerprint unlocking , wireless charging , high resolution screens and cameras ... etc ) , but on the other hand , concentrating on including the latest tech in today's cellphones has taken attention away from the overall design of them , and as a result , we only have the dull rectangular design for almost all the modern mobiles ( just have a quick search in gsmarena website for the last years' mobiles manufacturers , you will barely be able to recognize the brand by just looking at the pictures ... they all look the same with rare exceptions ( like LG flex or samsung edge phones or colored NOKIA mobiles) yet differences are minor in design .... while comparing that to the old good days when every new mobile has its unique , interesting design that made significant turns in the world of cellphones .

is it technology to blame ? or designers of the leading companies ? do we expect any major change in design in the next years or we will get stuck with the same soap bar ?
[General Topics] ShadowLea:
Back then they could variate in terms of the antennae, keyboard and shape. A slider, a round one, flip phone... Today it's one big screen and a shell. A screen is a screen, and nobody wants an additional 10cm extra phone just to you can make it look round.

The Edge is refreshing, but I doubt we'll see much variation in design in the next few years.

For those having issues with tethering. I tested it out today and had issues. It would connect but would not resolve dns. I have unlimited tethering on Three, it's always worked until now.

Doing this resolved my issues. I suspect this issue will be resolve by Three when an official uk build is released.

This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):

Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).

Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options

Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed

Start an adb shell: adb shell

In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Just to note, i don't have the SDK, I used the 15 second ABD installer.

I've just updated to uk build I had same problem tehething on Three, ran your fix and I can now tether and get internet, thanks
[Xperia Z3 General] leonsandroid:
please help

I installed the 15 second adb shell and it did install. When I type ''settings put global tether_dun_required 0" it doesn't work for me. Think I'm doing something wrong because all of you got it to work. Can someone take me step by step please? I'm new to this and I use tethering everyday for my college work so please help me out guys

EDIT: I open command prompt and type adb reboot just to check if its working, and the phone rebooted so I think its working btw
[Xperia Z3 General] gunga75:
Worked for me!

Thanks - This worked perfectly for me. Although on a mac, remember to use:

./adb shell

in the terminal.

I have an xperia Z3 on Three 3 Uk and tethering wasn't working. This fixed the problem.

On a mac: Download and install Android SDK tools

Locate the directory

In tools, locate the file 'adb'

Navigate to the folder location in terminal: cd /Users/(YOURNAME)/downloads/(YOUR FOLDER NAME)

Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).

Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options

Connect your phone

Make sure the USB debugging is allowing access (tick the box when you connect)

In the terminal, type: ./adb shell

then:

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Phone will now tether perfectly. I'm posting using my tethering right now!

So glad I found this thread. I have a Sony Xperia z2 on three and I've had no tethering since kitkat 4.4.4. I received a replacement handset from the insurance as I lost that phone and the new one worked fine. Then came the lollipop update and I had the same problem again! After several hours of pointless phone calls to three, I stumbled upon this thread, 20 minutes later and all is working perfect again. :D

I used android studio sdk tools and needed to install a separate D6503 (Xperia z2) driver.

[Xperia Z3 General] Cocolowe84:
After 3 weeks of trying to fix this problem, phone calls to 3 and Sony who both were about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike, I was just about to give up and sell my z3 (Sony wouldn't let me return it even tho they couldn't get one of their services, wireless tethering, to work) and buy a HTC one m9 (still wish I had bought one anyway). Finally I stumble upon this thread, after 30 minutes of downloading programs and doing a little bit of reading I now have my Z3s 4G connection tethered to my MS Surface Pro 3. Another ten months on the old one plan, not going to waste money on broadband till I've eaten all the data I can. Muchos Gracias ?

I think a custom zip file that can be flashed in recovery may fix the issue like it was done on the Nexus 5 thread for tether_dun_required 0.

I have just come across this tethering issue on 3 on my Z3 dual. On discovering the issue I contacted 3 support. Should have come here for the fix which I will try at home later.

However, for all of you struggling with this, I did achieve a discount on my contract at 3 because of my being unable to use the bundle I have paid for. £3 per month for the rest of my contract. When the fix works, I'll have a discount, as well as tethering.

Thanks for the discovery of the fix. XDA is great.
[Xperia Z3 General] Shiroumaru:
So far the method described here works partially on T-mobile some torrent downloads and YouTube, Netflix and a few other desktop services would unmask my traffic and T-mobile would start counting my data, so I turned towards Xposed and used the Xtether module and till now it has not gone up for the last 5 days, still need to test extensively all browsers and services to see what happens but for me this has been a sure fire way.

I'm running Lollipop 5.0.2 Pre-Rooted for Xperia Z3 D6616.

Steps:

1. Set "tether_dun_required" to "0"

2. Download Xposed for Lollipop 5.0.2 (Install the .apk file then flash the .zip file in recovery) be sure you are able to recover the system in the event of a bootloader or getting stuck in the the T-mobile boot, you have been warned. Also make sure you have well over 70% battery charge.

3. Download and install module XTether in Xposed app, be sure to activate the module before reboot.

4. Reboot

5. Profit

Hope it works! And good luck!
[Xperia Z3 General] ahgahg:
Is there a zip file for Xposed?
[Xperia Z3 General] Shiroumaru:
Yes, thing is that at the moment we cannot update nor fully install Xposed through the app we have to flash a file via recovery.
[Xperia Z3 General] ahgahg:
Thanks for the response. Are you using a user agent when browsing?
[Xperia Z3 General] Shiroumaru:
Nope, that's why I use this method.
[Xperia Z3 General] ahgahg:
Although I am waiting to receive my phone.

I am using the same method you mentioned here for ZTE Zmax, running 4.4.4.

My data counter goes up when using chrome.

However, when I use Safari it doesn't go up.

What are your thoughts?
[Xperia Z3 General] Shiroumaru:
Interesting, the only thing that I have is adblocker, and I do not know if that is the cause of not being counted.

Hi All,

I am a complete novice when it comes to any of this stuff but am having an issue that appears similar to what is being discussed here and wondered if someone could help.

Recently bought a OnePlus 2 and am using a 3 sim card (UK based). I'm running Android 5.1.1 and Oxygen Version 2.1.2. When i first bought it I noticed that I could not click on the icon to turn on portable hotspot, it just remained greyed out. After googling the issue I came across this thread. I have attempted to follow its guidance and somehow (sheer luck) managed to get the hotspot to work. Great! Or so I thought...

This morning I tethered to my Mac and it was fine. I turned tethering off and tried to turn it back on later. It didn't work. I turned the phone off and back on. It worked again. However my 4G then became intermittent and it later appeared that every time my hotspot was active, my 4G worked and when hotspot was off, I had no data at all! Confused to say the least.

As I said I know nothing about how to change the settings.

Does anyone have any time to (1) suggest what they think might be wrong?; and (2) give a step by step account of how I should carry out the fix (screenshots and links VERY VERY appreciated)? When I say novice, I mean that I have never even heard of SDK manager or where you might even go to download it or how it would work. I am using a Mac with OS X El Capitan.

I really do need to fix this issue because I used to use tethering A LOT on my old phone.

I assume I could just completely factory reset my OnePlus and then apply the fix?

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks, in advance!
