FIOS phone line static/buzzing/humming problem.... any ideas!

So I have FIOS phone, and my phone has a loud background hum noise when I'm on a call.  When I plug a phone directly into the ONT, there is no hum.  So clearly, there is something going on on my end.
But 2 issues:
1)  It wasn't always there - I think this hum only started up a month or so ago, and
2)  when I UNPLUG the ONT (so it's running on emergency battery power), then there is no hum on any of the lines.
Any ideas? 

Hum is easy to cause.  Probably a wire disconnected partially, grounded, or something else in your enviroment that changed is being picked up.  If possible trace the wires looking for problems.
Possibly something going wrong with the BBU transformer, since you mention it goes away when you are on battery power.

  • Although photo appears beautiful on phone screen, when reviewed in gallery, half the picture has a large line going through it.  Any ideas?  I went to VZN and they replaced my first new phone 3 days ago for this same issue.

        I'm sorry your pictures appear different in your gallery sillyymom. I know its frustrating with viewing important images. Are you using a 3rd party picture application? do you have any apps that may be conflicting with your pictures. Have you tried to review your picture settings?

    Try this from MacFixIt as well:
    In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
    * Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
    * Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear.

    I Can do that for home but not at friends and work places, nobody else has any problem joining it!! I'm wondering if restoring factory settings will solve it but don't really want to do that as its a hassle to reinstall everything for it to not solve the problem!!

    iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

    We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.

    Not Charge

    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
    - Try another charging source

  • Scrollbar problem - any ideas?

    I know another scrollbar problem...ive read the posts but cant solve it. Anyone got any ideas?
    got a program called Map which draws a map (using paint()) of a web site. I can get it to work but often there are so many links they go off the page.I need a scrollbar.
    In main i set up a frame: JFrame frame=new JFrame("M");
    Then set up scrollbar: JScrollPane cf = new JScrollPane();
    cf.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy (JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS );
    cf.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS );
    Then add scrollbar to frame: frame.getContentPane().add(cf);
    Then add Map() - my main prog: cf.add(new Map());
    (Map constructor calls repaint() - paint method draws to screen. main program extends JComponent)
    All i get is a blank (grey frame) with a scrollbar :) ...doesnt show Map - paint
    I can ignore scrollbar and use a container instead -
    Container c=frame.getContentPane()
    then set its layout : c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    and add Map() to it : add(new Mapper(),BorderLayout.CENTER);
    It works fine - but i need a scrollbar...
    Thanks for your time&help

  • No phone line for 3 weeks, and no idea what is hap...

    I reported a fault with our phone on 28Oct. The BT engineer came on 31Oct, at which point the phone was completely dead, and he said the wiring in our house was ok, the fault was in the line outside our house in the pavement in front of the house. The wire was worn away and needed replacing. The road diggers came 7Nov and dug a trench on the pavement in front of the house and showed me the wires, which were almost raw. They placed the wires in a tube, and re- tarmac'd the pavement, leaving the ends open. We then had to wait for the BT engineer to come back and replace the wires between the two holes. On 11Nov, the road men came back and poured cement into one hole. At this point we lost broadband connections to the house. I rang BT broadband to register the bt hub was flashing a red 'b'...they said they couldn't find a circuit to the house. The BT engineer arrived 2pm and said he couldn't replace the wiring 'cos cement had been poured into one of the holes before he'd replaced the wires, and the hole needed to be re-dug. He said the cement had probably caused the broadband line to go down. He rang in and registered all this. Nothing happened 12 and 13th. I rang BT 13th evening and was told the road diggers would come 14th and the BT engineer would come 14th and it would be all fixed today. No one came today. At 6pm BT rang and said the problem will be fixed tmrw. At 7pm BT rang and said as the road had been dug up today the cabling would be completed tmrw. I said NO ONE has dug up the road. They said it's all being done at the exchange and once they have replaced the joints and cables at the exchange tmrw it will be fixed. How can replacing the cables at the exchange fix the wires outside our house?? I have asked this question, but the Indian lady on the phone said it will all work tmrw. She is just reading a script.... I don't know who to talk to because I can't understand how it will all work miraculously tmrw. We have had no phone line since 28oct and no broadband since 11nov. Can someone please please tell me what is happening, because every time I ring I talk to someone in India who has no idea.

  • N97 problems any ideas solutions?

    hi there i got my n97 on realease date in the uk and have had no problems with it whatsover, until yesterday that is, i had set my phone to always ask when connecting to web, so when home screen was up the message would come up whether to connect or not, well yesterday this stopped appearing, ive alternated between offline and online, swithced off and on, took out battery and restored the fatory settings, however it still doesnt seem able to connect none of my widgets load up either , also i cant access my browser, when i try the same happens as with the widgets, the screen goes blank then back to the home screen?? im recieving my emails fine so i dont think its a connection problem, anyone any ideas or experienced this themselves?
    please help i really love my phone
    cheers in advance, andy

    are you able to update your phone with the latest firmware ? v11 .... i know that UK has not received it but perhaps it changed ? i am not sure. that could help you also consider formatting your phone. you will have to do a back up and also you might lose some apps that have been preinstalled on the phone including the accu weather one, that can not be replaced cause it is nowhere to be found. if you chose to do that here is what you would do plug in *#7370# from your home screen/dialer and if it asks you for a code plug in 12345. this might solve your issue. 
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....
