IPhone 3G Static noise due to RF and EM emission and heard at nearby Active

Whenever im using iphone, playing music or talking then there is this huge emission that is captured by any nearby speakers within two feet.
This is actually so bad that i can not even listen to music connected to any speakers because the static ads up the the music, this is very frustrating, I might have to return to apple for another one if this is perticular to my iphone.
My guess is that the iphone is loaded with tons of RF / EM emission not properly shielded or design flaw.
Genius, wher art thou

Same thing happened to me on a recording session a month ago, Logic 8 and the Apogee Duet.
Thing is I heard this static type noise, it was kind of low, at the time I thought it was just noise on output / playback.
It never occurred to me that this static noise was being recorded.
I don't remember the iPhone being that close, but it was in the vicinity.
Mackie HR 824's are shielded heavily (and would only apply to output playback, not the input), but the Apogee Duet or input cables, I'll bet are not, and the noise got into the Apogee Duet, and it was recorded
Thing is I recognized the static sound right away, as the awful static of the iPhone, when I later played back the recording.
Are you guys saying this does not occur when setting it to 3G, I am going to test that.

  • My iPod touch 4g is making a static noise in the speaker and in headphones help!!!!!!

    It makes this loud static/cracking noise out of the speaker whenever I try to play music or a video . It also does this out of the headphone jack to I know this because I have a brand new pair of beats by dre solo hds and there's still static in the bit when I tried it on a different device the headphones worked perfectly fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Mouse trails and static noise - video refresh problem?

    I get mouse trails that don't refresh away and static noise when I click and drag.
    In most apps that allow scrolling, like safari. I will get a small box on the screen that will create a trail of that small square all the way down my screen. It looks like a trail. Also if I click on a window and move it I get a static noise. The noise sounds like little crickets. Any ideas? I am thinking about spending money to upgrade this box and am worried I may be throwing money away.

    Great news. Original owner upgraded the graphics card on this machine when he bought a new monitor. He had the original nvidia fx 5200 which I promptly installed, replacing the ATI Radeon 9600. Problem solved. I still hear the noise when I drag the windows around, not sure why but there are no more mouse trails. It was the graphics card!

  • Tv card or sound chip the cause of static noise?

    My system has an MSI KT6V mainboard with an integrated AC97 soundchip. I
    also have a Hercules Smart TV mono tv tuner card, which audio output is
    connected into the line in jack of the mainboard. Every time, when I've
    started my system and the machine has been running for a while (appr. ½
    hours), a distinguishable static noise starts to hear from my loudspeakers.
    I've noticed that if you mute the line in, the static is muted. Also if you
    start up the tv viewing program, the static noise stops for good and will
    not return as long as you keep your system running.
    Now, is there something wrong with my tv tuner card, which causes "leak"
    into the line in or what? I've looked for newer drivers for my tuner but
    without success. At least Hercules doesn't provide any newer drivers for
    this card. I've updated my sound chip drivers but that has not helped. I've
    also tried a different cable between the cards. The funny thing is that I
    don't recall this kind of behavior to have occured in my former system that
    had a separate Hercules Muse LT sound card.
    Should I try to get a hold of a sound card or should I just ditch the tuner
    card and get an s-video connector box, since I really do not have any use
    for the tuner. I just use the card to connect external video sources.
    However, if there is any solution to rectify the problem without making
    changes into my system, I would be grateful.

    I'll make a collective reply.
    osnavi: My system is pretty stable temperature-wise. Well below 60 degrees celsius.
    Fredrik: I've tried couple of PCI slots, at the moment the card is as furthest away as possible from the audio connectors. The system is attached to a grounded AC jack. My system is WinXP home SP2.
    Stu: The card doesn't have FM radio. When looking from Hercules support pages, it seemed that newer drivers are (finally) available. Have to try those out. I'll report how it succeeded.

  • When I am trying to sign in to iTunes Store. I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID mail which does not belong to me... I can't connect to iTunes store and my Viber and Facetime are not active.

    My Apple ID was disabled. I reseted it successfully. Afterwards, when I am trying to update the pending apps in App Store on my phone, in order to sign in to iTunes Store I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID which definitely does not belong to me ('[email protected]'). Of course, I don't know this password and, consequently, I can't connect to Itunes Store on my Iphone. As a result my Viber and Facetime are not active in the meanwhile. What should I do? Thanks in advance for kind help and solution.

    Where did you get this iPhone?
    Was it new or second hand?
    You have to sign out then sign in with the correct Apple ID and password.

  • IPhone 6 Blue Screen and Static noise?

    So basically, here's the gist. I recently (not really recently, around October/November 2014) got an iPhone 6. I had gone straight from the 4 to the 6 so I haven't adjusted to it not being able to fit in my back pocket like my 4 did, resulting in it falling out of my pocket and landing on concrete, cracking a lot of the screen. Now, I'm fine with cracks so long as it only messes with the appearance of my phone. Meaning if it functions normally I see no need in getting it fixed. It functioned perfectly fine the following months until maybe mid-Decemberish where this happened for the first time. I was on Instagram trying to view a video. The "buffering video" symbol disappeared from the upper right hand corner signaling the video had started but I was still staring at the same thumbnail image. Thinking maybe it was a rip off video I decided to try and view another video. The same thing happened. As well as another time with one of my own videos. So this third time it happened the video began to play but then froze, but no pause or stop button appeared as usual. Instead my phone went to a blue screen, and static was heard coming from the speakers very faintly. It then went black and rebooted, taking me to the home screen. I looked into this issue and was told it was probably just a software problem and wouldn't happen again. Since then I have been experiencing bugs such as my screen lagging or simply not responsing to my touch, apps crashing the moment I open them, and my camera acting up, but it never went blue, though Instagram videos still refused to play. Until just now. Once again I was attempting to watch an Instagram videa that started to play but stopped mid-video and the screen went blue again with the same static then back to black and proceeded to reboot. By now I've decided to seek professional help which led me here to this forum. Any help? Thank you.

    Today was second time I got my phone back without Apple Premium Service Provider found anything wrong. I get "blue screen of death" all the time. I have even tried to create a new Apple id but I got the "blue screen of death" directly when i tried to install any apps.
    I now have an expensive worthless iPhone 6 that I can't use and Apple says it's nothing wrong with that. I'm going to throw this piece of **** in the garbage and buy a Samsung instead because I need a phone that works and that I can rely on.
    Thanks for nothing,

  • Iphone 4s background static noise issue !

    I paid a lot of $$$ for a miricle device named Iphone 4S.
    I got :
    1 - Phone that drains the battery for a few hours. ( this will be fixed I guess).
    2. A device that gets very warm when used for half an hour.
    3. Very,very annoying static ,buzzing noise when using 3G apps.
    Many users claim this is a hardware issue. I'm very worried about that. Will a firmware update fix a hardware issue ?
    Apple Support, could you explain in details the issue with the static noise in the background please and your action plan for fixing it ?

  • In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

    In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

    I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
    still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
    excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
    like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
    In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
    Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
    mine who lives there.
    My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
    of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
    avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
    UK.
    Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
    go about having the device replaced?
    Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

    Nice try! Take a hike.

    Hello abyjohn,
    I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working, and if I was getting a message about the accessory not being optimized.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this.

  • My old iphone was replaced today, due to faults. Now it will not allow me to use my credit card account for the appstore and itunes?

    My old iphone was replaced today, due to faults. Now it will not allow me to use my credit card account for the appstore and itunes?
    Please don't tell me to retry, or re check my information because it is all correct, it basically says u cannot use thi account due to it being connected to another device... which is my old fault iphone, at the apple store.

    I have never before heard of cards being locked to a single device... but your case has shown me that it happens.
    If I am getting it right you try to log in to your account and it asks for billing information, and when you enter your card details it tells you that the card cannot be used. If that is the case then I'm sorry to say that my only suggestion would be to contact iTunes support directly; the contact form can be found in here: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

    Hello, Jagatheswary. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The most common cause for this issue would be media or Apps present in your library that is purchased with another Apple ID.  The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

  • IPhone hearing aid t-coil (telecoil) compatibility and clicking noises

    We happily received our new Verizon iPhone4 a week ago, but, with considerable disappointment, sent it back yesterday ...
    This iPhone did not work with the t-coil on my wife's hearing aids. This subject has been discussed previously in these discussion groups, but suggestions like using TTY or adding bluetooth dongles to the hearing aids are simply not acceptable.
    Here are some details ...
    My wife wears two Oticon Synchro P hearing aids. They are about 4 years old. They are expensive hearing aids. They have a t-coil setting which she normally uses with telephones, and it works quite well with our Uniden land line phones and our old LG cell phones. The purpose of the t-coil is to inductively couple a telephone or other device to the hearing aid, rather than depending on acoustic coupling which often results in poor sound quality or lots of feedback. With my wife's hearing aids, when turned on, the t-coil does pick up some noise, more like a hum than white noise, but at an acceptable level. When we first tried the iPhone, just placing the iPhone speaker next to the ear with hearing aid with t-coil enabled, caused the noise/hum level to increase noticeably, to a level that was only marginally acceptable. There were other issues, as well.
    Except for the noise increase, it did not seem to matter if the t-coil was turned on or off, i.e. there did not seem to be any inductive coupling through the t-coil. Essentially the coupling was acoustic, resulting in poor sound quality.
    Last but certainly not least, we also got a loud clicking noise. Once again this was when the iPhone was next to the ear with the hearing aid with t-coil enabled. The noise sounds like a relay clicking, at a rate just slightly faster than I could count. This only occurred in the house, and was gone when we attempted to demonstrate the problem at a Verizon store. I took the iPhone back home determined to find the source of the clicking interference by turning off all the wireless phones and other electronics in the house. When I turned off my Linksys router, an old WRK54G model, the clicks went away. Okay, so I turned the router back on, and turned WIFI off on the iPhone - sure enough, no clicks. And there were no clicks when the t-coil was turned off, or when the iPhone was not in close proximity to the hearing aid (with or without WIFI enabled). So there is a interaction between the WIFI signal, the hearing aid t-coil, and the iPhone in combination.
    Next, I tried changing the WIFI wireless channel on the router from channel 1 (2.417 Ghz), to channel 6 (2.442 Ghz), to channel 11 (2.467 Ghz) .. none of this helped, i.e. if WIFI was enabled on the iPhone, and the iPhone was near the hearing aid with t-coil enabled, the clicks were there and very loud.
    Next, I looked at some of the router parameters, and noticed that the router sends a short preamble at a default interval of 100 msecs (10 per second) - roughly my guess of the click frequency. Changing this interval to 1000 msec (1 per second) did indeed change the frequency of the clicks to 1 per second!
    My theory on this is that we were hearing all the WIFI packets, but most of it sounded like noise, and only the periodic preamble broadcasts were identifiable as clicks. Strange, eh ?
    So what now ? Turn off WIFI on the iPhone? No. Change the preamble frequency permanently ? Probably not since I have no clue as to what effect that might have on the various WIFI devices that are used around here. Buy a different router ? Well, maybe, but the iPhone4 only supports 802.11 b/g/n on 2.4Ghz, so it's a toss-up whether or not a newer router would help. Buy new bluetooth hearing aids ? Not anytime soon. Buy the bluetooth add-on gizmo ? Probably not ... Few hearing impaired people really want all that hardware - they just want their t-coils to work.
    In the end, we didn't try another unit ... we simply gave up and sent the iPhone back. Since we really like the iPhone, we'll wait until the iPhone5 comes out, try that, and if it doesn't work, we'll find an Android phone from LG or some other manufacturer that does work.
    PS
    Apple says the iPhone4 CDMA has an M4,T4 (i.e. very good) rating for hearing aid compatibility, "Based on testing conducted by an independent laboratory following the ANSI standard C63.19, "American National Standard for Methods of Measurement of Compatibility between Wireless Communications Devices and Hearing Aids."" I think Apple needs to find a different lab, or do in-house testing of the top 10 hearing aids. A very large group of potential customers would appreciate it.

    I installed the iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and I enabled the "Hearing Aid Mode". The loud clicking noise went away so now my wife can use my phone with that option enable.  She has the hearing aids.
    Currently she has a Droid and can hear ok using the t-coil.  She has never been able to use the iPhone with her T-switch because of the loud clicking noise. 
    So we got an iPhone 4S for her thinking that option would be available on the iPhone 4S (Hearing Aid Mode).  She hears the loud clicking noise because the "Hearing Aid Mode" option is missing on the iPhone 4S (not sure why that option does not show up - see other post). 
    We are going to have to return the 4S since it does not work with her hearing aid :-(.
    I guess another option is to give her my old iPhone 4 and I take the iPhone 4S :-).  We only have 3 days to return the phone, so we may return the 4S and have her test my iphone 4 for a month or so to see if it really works.
    So my comment is you may want to try an iPhone 4 again with iOS 5 installed and enable the "Hearing Aid Mode" option.
