Fixed bluetooth fluttering noise issue

Hi guys.
I have an iPhone 4, was using a Plantronics Voyager Pro, and recently upgraded to the Jawbone ERA headset.
I've been suffering with really bad fluttering/popping sounds while using my phone in my home office with either bluetooth headset.
I can't recall for certain, but I'm not sure that just talking into the phone yielded much better results.
Eventually, I traced the issue to Wifi: Whenever I had wifi turned on, and I was connected to my home wireless network, the fluttering/popping was very significant and distracting.
If I shut off wifi on my phone, the noise largely disappeared.
Then I noticed that I wasn't having the same issue at other locations.
In any case, I have been extremely frustrated as I have one of the nicest smartphones and two of the best bluetooth headsets on the market, as well as one of the best consumer-grade routers; the Netgear WNDR3700 dual-band Wireless N Gigabit.
Long story short, it occurred to me to change the wifi channel in my router, and my problem with fluttering/popping has largely disappeared.
Just thought I'd share....

Very helpful and timely.  I just started suffering the same problem with my Motorola wireless headphones on phone calls.  Just tried shutting off the wireless and Voila!  Thanks.

  • Bluetooth sound - noise issues

    I'm having issues using my Bluetooth speaker (Monster Clarity HD) together with my MacBook Pro (13' mid-2010 running Snow Leopard).
    Every fifth minute or so the issues appear as disturbance in the sound and gets worse until what's coming out of the speaker is unrecognizable.
    Here's a video of the issue in action, just listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSujnxhut4M
    Does anyone recogize this problem? Suggestions?

    SDL will use ALSA if told - put this in ~/.bashrc

    export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
    For the "chirping", all I can suggest is to experiment with different values for period_size and buffer_size.

  • Did iOS 4.0.1 Update fix Bluetooth muffled voice issue?

    can you guys report if the iOS4 update released Thursday addressed the problems with the Bluetooth connection/sound quality/voice clarity?? I haven't updated my iPhone 4 yet so I can't test for myself. But i'd like to know if the muffled voice issue has been resolved, thanks!
    (My bluetooth device: Plantronics Voyager Pro)

    omg.. okay.. i thought about going to Costco and buying a Jawbone just to test it out.. but sounds like you guys have tried w/multiple bluetooth devices and it's not helping any .. what's even more sad is you've also stated you've exchanged your phones and it still doesn't get any better. i was hoping an exchange would help~i have read some ppl's stories that they exchanged their phone and their bluetooth problems got resolved (one guy even reporting ,w/a pic to show, being ~40ft away w/no issues!).. i get about 20ft and my bluetooth just straight up disconnects!
    but this is the crazy story:: im having a unique issue in my kitchen (which is very very small!).. i put my phone on the dining table and walk 4ft to the sink and ppl say i sound robotic, like the Transformers talk in the movie.. but if i walk elsewhere (not into the kitchen), it seems to work ok. now i have a Nextel phone too.. i can repeat what i do and not have any robotic sounds.. i have never had any problems using my bluetooth with my Nextel or my iPhone 3G, never ever-ever!! whut the heCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!

  • Noise Issues

    I know everyone has probably posted about these same noise problems before, but only one or two people posted audio of their noise, so I don't know if we are all on the same page or not.
    I have two completely distinct noises coming from my MBP (it is a 1.83 all stock with just RAM upgraded from Apple).
    The first one is a hum noise (I know this one seems pretty prevalent) that comes from the right speaker area and goes away when at full brightness or backlight off. Here is a link to a video of the noise:
    http://homepage.mac.com/jimdufek/mbp/movies/humming_noise.mov
    From what I gather, this is a problem with the power inverter for the display and can be fixed by shipping back your MBP. Has anyone that had this problem shipped theirs to Apple and gotten it back? If so was it fixed properly and how long was your wait?
    Second noise issue is a bit weirder. It is a squealing noise coming from somewhere in the middle or under the keyboard. It is very infrequent and if I move the MBP at a slight angle (as if it is resting on my lap) the noise goes away. I have tried PhotoBooth, Bluetooth on and off, Airport on and off, volume max and min, AC power and just battery life and none of them have any change. The noise only lasts for a few seconds and then is gone, but will come back in 10 seconds or in two hours. Below is a video of that noise:
    http://homepage.mac.com/jimdufek/mbp/movies/squeal_noise.mov
    Again, does anyone have this noise and if so did Apple diagnose it and fix it yet?
    I want to get my MBP fixed, but am worried that this second noise is something they will miss and I will ship my MBP only to still have this noise. I am thinking about taking it to an Apple Store (since they will hopefully be able to hear this problem), but can they fix it in store or swap it out for a new one in store?
    Sorry for being so long winded - thanks in advance!
    DISCLAIMER: The audio in the above videos was boosted on the camera - it is NOT that loud in real life, but it is audible with no electronic devices.

    ouch that is annoying! but if its not that loud i
    dont think you should be posting it at all, it'll
    give a wrong impression, because that sound at that
    level is annoying. but thanks for sharing!
    "if its not that loud i dont think you should be posting it at all, it'll give a wrong impression". What in the world are you trying to say?! I have this same problem (two different types of whine/buzz) and it is REALLY annoying and it deserves to be brought to everyones attention. "It'll give a wrong impression"???? What the ****! GET A GRIP! Its exactly as he/she said it is. ITS ANNOYING and untill you hear this buzzing noises comming from your minute old, $3000.00 MacBook, I really don't think you will understand how bad it is.

  • The Ever-present Fan Noise Issue

    Has there been a definite resolution to the fan noise issue on the iMacs? My 20' started after about a week while I was watching a movie. I can't really work on it without having iTunes (or some other noise) in the background.
    A while ago, I read a post about having it narrowed down to the "Optical Drive Fan" (or something like that) being loose/broken/cheaply built (perhaps a combination of the three) and it made sense when I looked at the back of my mac and covered the vent to listen to the difference.
    I haven't heard about anyone getting this fixed and the problem being solved, but I would certainly like to. From the sounds of things, some Apple techs are a little premature to replace logic boards and mid-planes and things of the like. The one that I talked to "hadn't heard" of any noise issues and thought it might be a power supply, but I haven't had the time to take it in yet.
    If someone has a definite solution (more than just speculation or complaints), I would appreciate hearing. I don't feel like waiting 1-2 weeks for a part that I don't need, if I just have to take it in to the tech for 45 minutes to tighten a fan.

    programs it didn't open: limewire, clamav,onyx, menumeters, my driver for my mouse, and a few others.
    CS2 took a while to load as did mac office.
    the rendering in CS2 was aweful! now i know why steve said it was no good for pros.
    the native apps were quick but not enough to sell me on it.
    i had a rev a imac g5 with 2 gigs of ram and it screamed.
    i plan to make out my new 2.1 with 2.5 and she will scream as well.
    the intel duo is nice..if you like to look at activity moniter and see to cpu's but to me its not worth the hassle of dealing with beta apps and all that.
    the g5 is more than capable of handling all my tasks and themsome.
    i'm gonna wait to upgrade. unless they come out with something amazing this year.

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.

    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive

    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions

    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

    I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
    However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
    So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
    MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
    Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

    Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
    Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.

    Unfortunately if there are various colours across the screen then you have broken the LCD Screen and it will need replacing. If the colours change when you press the area lightly then this is another symptom that you've broken the screen.

  • Will BB fix most of these "issues"

    Hi all,
    I am new to BB with the Z10. I really want to keep this device.  I really like the simplicity of the phone as a productivity device. I have had Android and they work well, but I don't really care for all the other "**bleep**" they seem to have on them. I use my cell phone mostly as a phone believe it or not.
    But I am disappointed with a few things like the contact list duplicating and even up to quadrupling some contacts. No real way to speed dial more than a few entries. The gmail only keeping a limited time frame of older emails.
    I have been reading threads and looking for solutions on this board and others with some discouraging results. Will BB fix most of these "issues" and others that this community is posting about? I have about 5day's left before I need to make a decision to send the phone back or not.
    To the group, what say you?
    Regards, RicK T.

    I have an Adesso case with bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 2. No affect on performance. Keybord easier to use compared to on-screen keyboard. Plus it has more keys compared to on-screen keyboard.

  • Nikon Images, Noise issues in Photoshop only

    I use Nikon cameras and shoot raw files processing them in ACR and then bringing them into Photoshop. I notice that after the images are processed and saved as jpegs. when I look at the final image in a Microsoft film strip browser, the noise which shows in Photoshop disappears in that viewer. In Photoshop I am viewing everything at 100% I cannot figure out how that happens and what is the true quality of the image. I am just wondering where I can see the true final quality of the image. I would rather not use any noise reduction on the images. I do not like the quality of the image after using that tool.
    I also shoot with Canon equipment and I never have and noise issue. I am aware that Nikon has noise issues at higher iso's and when the image is underexposed but I am taking that into consideration when processing, I also process in light room and Nikon capture but in those products I know that they have some different algorythums to correct the noise.
    Thanks for any comments or suggestions on this issue.

    Photoshop is color managed and is using your monitor profile in an attempt at accurately portraying your image. Most image viewers are not color managed.
