I also saw this in my notification and it looked like a file was being downloaded. I couldn't find a downloaded file nor any trace of this notification. If anybody knows about this, kindly help us around here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirius@15:
Had the same notification. Came for few seconds and went away. It started to download "Facebook" application on play store even when I already had it installed. I am worried now.

I am on Xiaomi.eu rom (device: mido), Stormguard kernel with Magisk canary build

Did u have any of these installed?

Has anyone noticed strange static, buzzing noises coming out of the top speaker during the phone call?

It's not happening all the time but I can hear it on most calls. Sounds like internal antennas or something like that.

3XL UK, tried both EE and Three.

Some users reported that turning off HD calling may help but this is not available to do here in UK. :(

Already with Google customer service, waiting for their reply.

I wonder how many units may be affected.

Please post if you have this issue or not ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] DespairFactor:
I had this issue on one call, but now I don't but I did get an RMA for it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
So is your RMA device free from that problem?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] DespairFactor:
Haven't opened it yet to test
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
Let me know please ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sharavan21:
I too have this issue.

But this issue is more pronounced when I am on VoLTE calls.

Contacted Google Support and yet to receive a response from them.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
I have been offered RMA from Google but I want to hold on for now to see if an update will fix it. I reckon most phones have it but not everyone notice it or is bothered.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] djy:
RMA'd for this issue and replacement still had it but was much quieter than original phone. Keeping replacement. It's clearly a shielding problem. Thanks for playing pixel lottery.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
Thanks for feedback.

From your experience, does it happens on every call you make?

For me I can only hear it on some calls.

Someone on Reddit posted that:

Update from OP : Today I met the Google technician at a public cafe - this is the guy assigned by Google support to pick my mobile for servicing. He calmly asked me to unlock the phone and hand it to him, I did, and then he popped out the sim. He switched to another sim, (he was carrying one) and toggled airplane mode and back.

He placed a call and handed the phone over to me. I was like, meh, I've already tried this. But surprisingly, I got no static, no noise. I thought it was a temporary thing, so I ordered coffee and we continued talking about the device while I kept trying to call friends and test the device. No issues again!

He then explained the issue to me - this device earpiece isn't the problem, the baseband/kernel on this device causes it to have lesser signal strength. As soon as I switched to a network with proper VOLTE, the issue disappeared. This is because not all network towers are compatible with this version of the modem's software. Either the networks need signal strength upgrades, or baseband kernels need fixing. Either way, Google is already working with service providers to fix such issues.

He then asked me to not submit the device for repair/factory inspection. I was so confused by not being able to reproduce the issue then, so I went along with his suggestion.

So now, I have a perfectly working device that suffers in poor signal conditions... What happened with your device?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] djy:
Every call but some worse than others. Sounds like PSU or GPU coil whine.

Someone should ask that Google employee why it doesn't happen on my old S5 (which had over a dozen modems), my wife's 6S, and the Z3 in my car? Why is there static on wifi calls or bluetooth calls?

If it's bothering you, RMA now while replacements are still new phones.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] htusa:
Same problem. Already have the RMA in route.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] eeliah:
Have you tried calls via WhatsApp, doing same?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
That's the thing , I tried friends Xiaomi mi 6 and it's perfectly clear without any background noises.

Mine is not always present it's coming and going. I am affriad I will get worse that the one I have now.

I will wait and see how much it bothers be ;)

Probably all units got it to some degree.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] htusa:
I played the Pixel lottery and lost. The replacement was three times worse. Crazy... 100% sure this is a shielding issue. Google has promised to make it right. I am sending the replacement back and they are sending out another new unit. Round 2
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ram4ufriends:
Wow I had this issue on Pixel 2 XL and thought they might have fixed it on Pixel 3 XL.. Looks like they made it worse.. I wonder when Pixel phones will be free of bugs.. probably Pixel 10 XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
Sad :(

Keep us updated on this please?

I had same problem on my Pixel 2.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
Just to update everyone. I have decided to return my phone and reorder with black Friday offering £40 off.

New phone has perfectly clear earpiece, no more static noises.

If it bothers you keep exchanging until you get a good one !
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Ruku1994:
I have the same problem with buzzing in the earpiece during call. Additionally many people say that they can not hear me correctly, my voice is skipping. I hope that they will fix it in the next update as it seems to be modem related. Some calls are normal and some have these problems. Unfortunately I can not RMA as Google is not officially selling pixels in Poland.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Have you tried making calls in areas with poor signal that's usually where it's the worst. Sometimes my device has this issue and sometimes it doesn't on the 4th one so I gave up with RMA lottery.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
My first one was bad at my house and this one is perfect ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Hmm I see what hardware version is it? Is it MP 1.0? Because all four of my devices had this problem plus testing at numerous Verizon stores their units also had the problem too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
Mp 1.0

I am not sure what's the factor but had the same with Pixel 2. Gone through a few of them for screen and all had different levels of that static noise, some didn't at all.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Okay so they haven't done any revision. I'm inclined to agree that it's possibly a shielding issue. I'll try what the Google tech did and take my sim out and toggle airplane mode and put it back in and toggle again. If it's not a shielding issue I'm crossing my fingers for the Dec security patch to fix it. If it is a shielding issue maybe it can be masked or possibly fixed with software as well?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] lokiloke:
Have the same issues for my P3XL, got it exchanged but it still making those static noise during a call or not. The only way to kinda fixed the problem is put off the WIFI and the static noise disappear. I hope this is a software problem which will get fix in the coming software update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Krzysiec:
Got exactl the same issue with my Pixel 3 (regular). Also cant RMA because like a friend above i am form Poland where Pixels are not officialy on the market. the strange is that this noise sometimes is there sometimes not. That would explain porr signal and kernel realted stuff... But it makes me crazy when iam hearing that saound instead of hearing my caller :) Hope its software fixable...

Also noticed that i got this buzzing sound even when i restart the phone and just right after it lunches and all radios signals are setting up after reboot i hear it too :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ddyourself:
I have the same issue, wondering any RMA handset resolved the problem so far? If so, I will ask for a RMA, if not, I will just stick with what I have.

TIA
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sharavan21:
I replaced my device and the problem is now inexistent. Had to undergo with 2 units before getting the one without the issue. I would like to point out that the new one is of "November 2018" manufacture date.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] swieder711:
Where can I find the manufacture dates.?

Mine say Hardware version MP1.0.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sharavan21:
You can find the manufacture date on the Box of the device.

There hasn't been a hardware revision for Pixel devices this year yet.

Just FYI, the previous 2 I had were black and this one is White (if that matters).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Towerdragon:
My fiance has this issue with her pixel 3 xl not pink just called Google for an RMA hopefully the replacement unit sounds better.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
Where exactly on the box? I have been looking and couldn't find it.

I have a black one now without this issue buy sending it back as managed to grab one for £579 ;)

I hope it will be issue free lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Shadey1:
Yeah I'd love to know, best I could find was a not fully charged in 29 days which would put it in November.

Mines got a wicked crackle when I have WiFi on, and a marginally better version with a lot of crackle when I have wifi off.

And to think I picked this over a Huawei Mate 20 Pro...sigh
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JohnnyRebel:
Been awhile since I was here, hi all. I have the same issue. A faint electrical interference noise from the headpiece speaker that I noticed after taking my first phone call on my brand new black pixel 3 xl. I already chatted to Google through the settings app support and they said they'd RMA it. I bought it at Best Buy yesterday so I'm just bringing it back tomorrow. I also noticed I don't even have to be making a phone call. If I hold the phone to my ear during boot, or with no apps open the noise is still there it's just less dominant then when having a phone conversation. Can more people please advise if they had a successful replacement, or possess a pixel 3 with no issue? Furthermore should I jump ship for a note 9, p20 pro or ride this wave out. I've went from a Nexus 6p -> pixel -> pixel 3xl. I remember the rage I use to feel when support for my phone was dropped early, or I didn't get timely updates. OMG found an easy way to replicate it.

Update: Was reading another forum. Run internet speed test from the web page while holding your phone to your ear. Wow can you hear the interference. It's still subtle when run on LTE but flagrant when using 5g wifi.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
So I got my new 3xl and guess what? First test call and I can hear all those static noises.

I have done all the updates, November one and December one. Made another call and ...

Nothing! Call is clear as it should be! So I guess they have fixed something ;)

Unfortunately I have noticed that top grill of my new unit is slightly pushed pushed in. I am not sure if I should rma it. I think I will live with it. Everything else is on point, display and vibration motor awesome ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JohnnyRebel:
Have you tried running speed test (via web page, the first hit on Google) on your phone while connected to 5g wifi? I held the phone to my ear while the test was running and couldn't believe how much interference there was. Just curious if that's fixed or your phone is in a state where almost no data is being used, helping to mask the issue till a later date.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wazka2:
I have just run speed test on WiFi and I can confirm I can hear these static noises when I put my ear next to the phone. But as far as call is free of these it does not bother me ... yet ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JohnnyRebel:
Thank-you. I think during my first phone call my phone was taking an update via WiFi and that's why I could hear the extensive static. I'm glad to hear you're happy ? cheers, I hope all's well for you moving forward.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
All of my 3 XL's have had the issue and like everyone else the issue is extremely worse when on wifi/wifi calling etc. Yup each of them I could hear just by turning the screen on and putting my ear up to the earpiece. It's really bad when I use my left ear as it is more sensitive vs my right ear (both still have pretty good hearing). Dec update hasn't fixed it and they all had the problem to a varying degree. My third one was the "best" but it had the greyed out OEM which they actually fixed but took them over a month and I didn't want to risk it so did a RMA. At this point it doesn't happen all the time but generally happens with wifi and or poor cell signal. I haven't bothered asking for another RMA because it's a bloody hassle having to set everything up again and put on another screen protector. Plus doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is the definition of madness. I can just hope they mask it/fix it with a later software update. I just keep spamming them with device reports about the same issue under device feedback. Probably won't accomplish anything, but hey at least it makes me feel better kinda.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Shadey1:
Eugh in the UK and I need to call them, I actually can't find a chat option, or a warranty chat, it's just return the phone within 15 days....

I really love this phone, but I'm not spending 1k nearly on a buzzing lump I can't make calls on. I've tried it in a few places now as well, all strong signals.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] billyt1:
I was reading in the google product forums and one of the remedies is to uninstall the update to google app and unclick auto update in play store
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Shadey1:
Link and did it work?

I've just had a call with no issues for the first time! Didn't do anything. I'm still debating returning in the 15 day window. I've got 5 days to decide.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
There are times where the issue won't occur during a phone call. I would recommend turning off Wifi anytime you want to make a call. It seems to be data noises due to poor shielding RIP.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Shadey1:
Still got it today even doing that, damn it, I don't want to return it, the only option I really wanted was the mate 20 pro but it's 'glassgate' issues have put me right off. Might pump for a OnePlus 6T in the meantime and switch in 6 months. So annoying.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Had the same issue on mine. I was still within a 14 day return window so I went with that instead of a RMA. The rep told me a replacement would be fine since I won't be getting a refurbished device but I didn't want to take the risk.

Ordered another 3 XL and it should be here hopefully by tomorrow. I really hope the next one doesn't have this issue.

The static noise was so bad that I just had to use speakerphone during calls...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
The phone is still "too new" for you to get a refurbished unit. Plus since you're within the 14 day return window you would be guaranteed a brand new one. You can tell when you place the order if they're shipping you a refurbished unit it would say it next to the device name when you're placing the order. I hope you luck out and get a good one but somehow I doubt there's a device that doesn't have this issue. So far 4/4 128 black XL 3 have the problem for me sadly. Some say they don't have the issue, but the problem doesn't always occur or they probably don't have as sensitive hearing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Shadey1:
I am in the midst of transferring all my stuff to a oneplus 6t, but I was sat at my desk earlier and noticed a colleague had a 3XL. I asked about the issue he laughed and said of course he does, as do the others in the office! He's living with it as he's got tinnitus! Shame I loved it., but it goes back tomorrow!

One noticeable thing is just how much brighter and crisper the oneplus is by comparison!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Yeah I get that but even if there is a 1% chance of getting a refurbished model, I didn't want to take the chance.

Also, I tend to sell my devices down the road and having the packaging displaying one IMEI number and the phone having another (because of being a replacement) confuses some potential buyers and leaves others uninterested.

They either don't understand what I mean by refurbished, or the ones that do, probably won't believe me when I say Google gave me a brand new replacement, rather than a refurbished one.

It ends up causing more of a headache so a full return and making an entirely new purchase feels like I saved myself some hassle down the road.

As for the issue itself, it is not comforting to hear 4/4 of yours had the issue lol, mine is set to arrive on Monday so fingers crossed!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
I understand where you're coming from, you want that peace of mind. But you can tell right away if you're getting a brand new or a refurbished device before you complete the order for your RMA. When you click the link to place the order for your replacement device it will show (Refurbished) next to the device name if the rep ordered you a refurbished device. Otherwise you will be getting a brand new device with the retail packaging. The issue comes and goes it's not constant, but you can tell right away if you connect to wifi and turn the screen on. Static noise comes from the earpiece even when you don't make phone calls RIP :(. Good luck with the device lotto!

Makes sense that Oneplus' displays are brighter since they aren't getting 2nd rate panels from their supplier most likely. Samsung probably will never give out their best displays as they are most likely reserved for their own devices. Kernel with high brightness mode helped a bit since with this device there are two high brightness modes. One that scales the brightness a bit each step and then the old school brightness mode. I was looking into the OnePlus as well but after they released the McLaren Edition so soon after the release of the OG 6t that is a slap in the face as well. They're invalidating their own flagships in such a short period of time and that is concerning to me. Sure 6 gigs/8gigs is plenty vs the 10 gigs and the new charging mode probably isn't that huge of a deal in the end. But I would be salty after dropping full retail and not having the companies top device so shortly after! Hope you enjoy the 6t!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Oh wow I did not know that! About the phone saying refurbished when you do the whole process online.

If this new 3 XL has the same issue I think I'll go for that replacement then, because of what you said and what the rep said. The rep told me it will be brand new but also, there will be a higher chance of me getting a device without the issue since some testing is done that revolves around the issue I had with the defective device.

Good to know, thanks!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
No problem! Another thing is I wouldn't trust what the Google rep tells you about them "checking the device" or "extra testing" that's just BS they feed you. Basically someone at the warehouse will just grab a random phone of the color and storage capacity you bought and shove it into a box and send it on its way.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Updated to the Jan security patch and looks like the ****ing earpiece clicking/static during phone calls is still there while connected to WiFi. Seems better while only connected to mobile? I'll have to try a few more calls and see how it goes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Shipmate:
Just for information. I do not have this problem.

White Pixel 3 XL 128GB UK.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Bryandu13:
I never noticed this bug neither
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Are you on a solid 4G VOLTE connection or 3G when you use voice? Seems the problem occurs when you're on a 4G connection/tower that is not compatible with the devices baseband. Or if you're using WiFi calling. Temporary work around is to disable VOLTE if you're in areas with weaker signal and 3G will be utilized for calls instead.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Bryandu13:
My network provider in France don't allow me to use VoLTE but I'm always in 4G
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Hmm not sure then. Maybe it's just specifically an issue with VoLTE. But when I stopped using VoLTE in areas with weaker signal the buzzing/static is pretty much gone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Jk108:
I have the same issue with mine. Basically when the phone is receiving data over WiFi, the earpiece will hiss/buzz.

It's reproducible if you do a speed test on a speed test website while holding the earpiece to your ear.

It seems to point to a shielding issue.

I'm still deciding if I can live with it or do an RMA. I'm past my return window, and I don't want to receive a refurb.

I don't make a lot of calls so I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle. I don't know how common this issue is either. It's possible that a replacement unit may still have the same issue.
