Weird noise coming from area near the earpiece even when screen off - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Mi 3 makes a weird noise near the earpiece around the area where the proximity sensor is located. It sounds like EMI or as if there are moving parts inside the phone. The sound is audible even when the screen is off and no calls are active. The occurance of the sound is random. But it will always make noise while the phone is booting. Sometimes it will last for a whole day. My phone is only 10 days old and not even dropped it once. Tried factory reset/ flashing a different rom, etc. It makes sound even in the recovery menu so I don't think its a software issue. Does anyone have this same problem ? Just try placing your ear near proximity sensor. I discovered it recently. Got a replacement but the replacement unit has the same problem !

Expriencing the same issue

anyone else noticed this ???

I have recently noticed when I made my first call after ICS upgrade, at high volume during a call, there is slight disturbing humming with the voice of the other person as if, the earpiece speaker is being driven beyond its limit. My note has never ever fallen from my hand even on my bed or sofa, so there's no possibility of any physical damage. Or could it be that the quality of earpiece speaker is really low that it starts giving such disturbances after some time. Anybody else experienced this?
It could just be the reception issue or some sort of interference rather than the ICS upgrade.

[Q] In call buzzing

Hi All,
I have recently purchased this phone and am very pleased with it.
The only issue I have is that in calls when the volume is turned all the way up the earpiece buzzes slightly.
Does anyone else have this issue?
thanks.
Nope, but from what you describe it sounds to me like there's contamination in the earpiece speaker, when the speakers membrane vibrates high enough, the contamination vibrates along and that could be the buzzing sound you hear... unless it's a different kind of buzzing... like continuous buzzing, is it?
The buzzing only occurs when the volume is turned up loud. It is as as if the speaker is loose and is vibrating inside the housing. Also occasionally when i make or answer a call the speaker doesn't work and there is no sound from the other caller.
I plan to return it to the store I bought it and try and get a replacement as surely this is faulty hardware?
It surely isn't a software issue, and unless you have a very poor signal while in call, there should be no reason to have a crappy (or absent) caller sound, other than the possibility I mentioned below, which sounds very likely... Hope they can fix or replace it for you
I contacted both motorola and Three UK (whom I purchased it from) and they both said it was not normal. I returned it to a Three store and got it replaced. The new one has no buzzing so i think its all sorted.
So i have had the replacement for nearly 2 weeks now and the issue has started again. there is a buzzing when in call. it varies with the pitch of the other callers voice but it sounds like there's a bee stuck in the earpiece or the speaker itself is loose and is vibrating.
Im not rough with the phone at all and most of the time it sits on my desk at work.
apparently there is a similar issue with the RAZR M in the U.S
surely I cant be unlucky enough to be the only one in the UK to have this issue and to have it twice....

Speaker Crackle/Rattle

Has anyone observed speaker crackling above mid-volume? My top speaker has a buzzier character that gets more noticeable as you play louder and bassier/fuller sounds. I'm not sure if it's crackling or something rattling inside the case. The lower speaker sounds clear and normal.
I have this as well.

Same
Mine doesn't
I made a short recording to show what I mean. The sample is from plugging in my magnetic cable a couple of times. The charging sound is particularly annoying to hear crackling.
I may have to send my unit back to Clove for warranty service. Bummer.
I have the same issue, and yes, it is the charging sound that is the most annoying, it sounds exactly the same as yours, is if something is loose inside and vibrates.
Until now I was willing to live with it since apart from that I love this device... until yesterday evening that is, when I realized that also the gyroscope calibration is way off (when trying to play Doodle Jump) and there doesn't seem to be a way to do a system-level calibration of that thing anymore. There used to be in older Xperia models in the service menu. Now I'm thinking of sending it back, which I really would rather not, having already configured everything to my liking...

[Q] strange electric buzzing Noice from top speaker

Hello,
This might be a double post, but nevertheless I have noticed a strange buzzing noice from the top speaker. It seems to occur when i switch wifi off and then on. At that moment when it is receiving and sending data. It seems that the speaker comes on and creates it. If i have to discribe it i would say it sounds like electrical currence or a something shortcutting. Anyone else with this problem? I mailed my provider today and i am looking to send my device back soon.
Also, offtopic, i noticed that the screen isnt positioned properly, on the left side it sticks out...
For me two reasons to look for a replacement nexus 6.
Regards,
Elroy
I'm on my second phone and I'm noticing this too. Its fairly quiet, but in a quiet room it becomes very noticeable. It seems worse for me when the CPU is really going. Also, if I turn off and on the screen it gets louder. I actually noticed this issue with my first phone too, but I returned that due to a camera issue. It might just be interference from the CPU getting into the speaker. Not sure if returning it will help. Sucks this phone costs so much but we gotta deal with issues like this.
We have so many this speaker related issue. plz search.
Don't waste your time replacing the phone because all has it. It's more likely either SW can fix or just a pure dumb HW design by Motorola.

Speakerphone Not Working Echo

Hey guys,
Bit of a strange problem, recently my speakerphone has stopped working. Whenever I place a call on speakerphone the other party can hear their own voice echo and this becomes progressively worse over a couple of seconds till neither parties can hear each-other and its just a loud fuzz.....everything else on the phone is working perfectly! It's never been dropped or anything...its still in immaculate condition! I am running the latest firmware (UK) and it's started happening randomly....any ideas on how to fix?:crying:

I got the exact same problem and no solution so far. I've tried various rom versions (4.4.x - 5.0.2 and CyanogenMod Nightly), but it didn't help, so I'm afraid it's a hardware thing.
I don't know if you also experienced that, but if I let noise cancellation (in setting) enabled my calling partner also does hear an echo and my voice is much quieter, without using the speakerphone.
In my case it's possible that I damaged the phone my self, since I had to replace my whole case and the lcd, after falling damage.
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me which part exactly is causing this problem.
I had to change thel unit also due to the touchscreen bering cracked.
Speakerphone, or 'audio output', is not working. Although I might have had this problem before. I can't remember.
I read on another forum that the bottom speaker only comes on when on speakerphone.
So I'm thinking maybe damaged it while repairing the replacement lcd unit.
I hope this is not the case. I have yet to do a factory reset. Just need a bit a spear time to do it.
I have this problem too.
I broke my screen and i replaced it with a new screen(including LCD) by myself, and after that the speakerphone stopped working. It's so strange because microphones and Speakers work ( i have tested it in *#*#7378423#*#*).
Mah!
My replacement lcd came within a new case without the back panel. All I had to do was place the motherboard in the new case.
The new case had a bottom loud speaker already in it. I have, last week, opened the phone up again and replaced it with the original speaker. Unfortunately, still cant get the speakerphone to work.
I will try an reset one day , once i make a note of my apps and back updata.
Has anyone tried a reset yet?
