IPhone 4 crackling and grainy white noise!!??

I have recently had my iPhone 4 replaced because of terrible noise interference during calls to the point where the sound totally went off....I have had my new iPhone 4 for 3 weeks, last week it started to make funny noises! Really loud crackling during some calls (not all)...it made me go slightly deaf! Like firecrackers! Occasionally it makes those radiowave interference noises too, and now it has started to just randomly produce grainy white noise when it is just sat next to me. My alarm went off this morning followed by a fuzzy noise each time it did....is this just my phone or is it a common problem? Should I get a replacement or will this keep happening? I feel like it is melting my brain

Did you have any success fixing this?
So I am dealing with the exact same crackling issue on my iphone 4. I've been to the genius bar 3 times and they are stumped, they can't figure it out, they've gone up the chain and no one gets why it's doing it. They asked me if I have a metal plate in my head. I've been to ATT to get the SIM card replaced but the problem still persists. So of course they quickly sent me back to Apple saying it's their problem. I have another appointment tomorrow. The only thing I can think of that's different is I got one of the ATT Microcells for my apartment to help boost the signal but this is really grasping at straws.

My iPhone 5 crackles and pops loudly during calls (with and without speaker phone.) I'm experiencing this same same issue on my third iPhone. Is this a common problem? Short of getting the phone replaced (yet again!) is there a solution?

My iPhone 5 frequently crackles and pops loudly during calls (while using speaker phone, as well as not using speaker phone.) After being inspected by techs at the Genius Bar, my phone has been replaced twice; thus, I am currently on my third iPhone 5. Incredibly, I am, yet again, experiencing the exact same issue. Short of getting my fourth iPhone, is anyone aware of a solution?

if it's the exact same issue, either it's a problem with your service or with your software if you're restoring from a backup each time. it's pretty darn near impossible for 3 phones to have the same exact hardware issue, so that's unlikely. is this an at&t iphone? if so, are you continuing to use the same sim card? if so, get a new one and try that out. if that's not the issue, restore the phone as new and make a few phone calls. if the issue's gone away, there's something wrong with your backup

Which means when the iphone is working and doing normal noises but the screen shows nothing?

my phone is making normal noises, such as vibrate to connect with the charger, the noise of Blocking and unlock, but the screen is all black

Hi https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6267396,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone giving you a black screen, I would suggest that you follow the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically -
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I've tried to restore my iphone multiple times and the white bar won't go across

Including last night, I've been sitting at my computer for at least 6 to 7 hours...
Saturday morning, I woke up to a strange icon on my phone when i turned it on. It said i needed to connect my iphone to itunes. I just got my iphone a few weeks ago, and i didn't have any problems up in till now. So I causually went up to my computer, and plugged my charger into the computer, and plugged my charger to the iphone. A message popped up saying my iphone needed to be restored. So I clicked 'restore and upgrade." It was restoring for 2 hours. When it was finally complete, a small white bar apperead. Unfortuantly, even though my phone was plugged in for several hours, it still made no progess. I updated Itunes..I even updated my computer! I tried another computer which has more updated feautures to it, and it still has the same problem. Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated.

Iphone 4s usb audio crackling and popping

hi my iphone 4s crackles and pops when listening to music using usb audio playback in my car
my ipod is fine just the phone that does it
anyone know of a fix ??

The system in your car is probably not designed for use with an iPhone. The radios in the iPhone can put out quite a bit of interference. If the system is not designed for it, this can result in very poor audio quality. Try putting the phone in airplane mode and see if the problem persists. If it goes away, then it's a compatibility issue with your head unit.

Dynadock - USB Audio kaput busted broken (white noise)

not sure what has caused this, but I use a Dynadock and up until Monday the USB audio was fine, then it started making crackling white noise. I thought was temporary as was off to work but on return today is doing the same. A bit of google leads me to think this is not uncommon.
I have reinstalled Dynadock software (latest version from Toshiba site)
I have reinstalled Conexant sound drivers (latest version from Toshiba site - though don't think this is latest according to Vista update - did I mention Vista? ;) and working fine
After much searching as it does not seem to be available from the Toshiba site I found a C Media 106 Driver (which is what it was before) and installed that, and the white noise is still there.
I assume this is a Vista / Driver issue?
Which also assumes means there is no way round it without either system restore back to a previous point and hope it goes away, then select each update
or wait for a new driver but with no idea who owns it or when that might be?
Is there any alternative? I use the docking station almost permanently so this is a real pain in the rear.
Not a happy bunny! Can anyone help please? Is anyone having the same problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Tim
Your posting is pretty confusing and I can not understand what you have done and wrote about all those sound drivers. In my opinion you should make clean Dynadock installation and configuration.
Disconnect the Dynadock from the system and remove all preinstalled stuff. Download Vista Dynadock Utility 2.3c properly. Follow the menu on the screen and please do not interrupt Utility installation.
Dynadock Utility will install all stuff you need and I hope you will be able to use this nice external device again. Of course I hope the sound will be OK again.

White noise on SPA3102?

Hi, Today I tried to dial out on line 1 and got white noise instead of the american dialtone for line 1. I unplugged the units several times before I could get the dialtone. Unfortunately now when someone dials the pstn line, the phone rings and picks up at their end with these beeps, but stays ringing at my end, I pick up and hear nothing, the other end just hears a set of beeps about 3 a second. Neither can I dial my voip line number I just get one ring and a continous tone with no ring on the phone. Both of these worked up until today. Has the unit developed a fault wthin 1 week?. Story of my life if it has. :-( All the led's are lit on the unit. I'm sure when I had this working with my answering m/c the line light was unlit, but the unit worked. It took me ages to get this unit setup. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be the cause?, as at present I am unable to get any calls coming in on my pstn line or voip line.

have you tried to reset the device and reconfigure the settings again? check the registration status of the PSTN line or the VoIP line. is the line still registered when you encounter this problem?

Thermal Noise Source - white noise sample file

Hello!
I just used a sample multisim file and there is a problem I cannot solve and I neither found a solution here.
I use Multisim 12 for school and I am experimenting with the multisim sample file WhiteNoise.ms12
from the directory
National Instruments\Circuit Design Suite 12.0\samples\Educational Sample Circuits\Miscellaneous
(you can open it by menu File/Open Samples)
Now here is what i did, I opened the file and replaced XSA2 (a spectrum analyser) for an oszilloscope
to watch the voltage at the resistor R2. Now I start the simulation and double click on the oszilloscope
and I can see the signal and the white noise. well, so far so good. now I stop the simulation and
double click on the Thermal Noise Source to edit some properties or in fact you do not have to change
anything, just close the window with OK (not cancle!) and now simulate again: the noise is gone!
Can anyone help me with this problem? I can't get back the white noise.
(I worked with a copy of the sample file, so I did not destroy anything.)
Thank you very much for your help!
Mathias

Hi Mathias,
I see the problem and this is strange. After you open the white noise properties dialog then close it, when looking at the model in the background the noise settings are empty, that’s why you see a square signal source. In the attached circuit, I replaced the noise source with one from the current database and it does have the same problem.

IPod Video 5G 80 gig - White noise

I have an iPod Video 80 gig and I notice that their is always a background white noise (hiss). I start a music and press pause for this test.
When I close the volume I can hear a clip when the volume is close. As soon I increase the volume I hear a white noise (hiss) and it keep the same level until I get to the 3/4 of the volume then it's start to make the white noise louder and also I can here some clipping that is comming from the wheel until I get to max volume.
Clicker sound : OFF
EQ : OFF
Sound Check : OFF
The problem I got with this white noise is when I listen to calm music I always here the white noise (hiss) like I am listen to a tape cassette.
I was hearing this with my Sony MDR-EX70 but I just purchase the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 Pro (white) and these headphone are so clear compared to my Sony that now I hear the white noise even more !
So I would like to know if this a poor SN ratio noise of the iPod built-in amplification or it is just my iPod and my friend iPod too ?
It would be interesting if a couple of people could try the test and see if they got the same background white noise.
- Start a music
- Pause
- Close the volume (should hear a click a the close position)
- Increase volume (should start to hear the white noise (hiss)
- Increase the volume to max and at about the 3/4 of the volume up to the max volume you should hear some clipping noise from the wheel sensors and the white noise should also increase in level up to the max volume.
If all iPod are doing this then Apple should redesign the amplification to increase the Signal to noise ratio better than what it is right now.
I would like to have some feedback on this from the people who gonna make this test.
Thanks

Also when I plug it in my stereo system I can hear the clip when I close the volume.
The white noise is their also but I cannot hear it at the listening distance from my speaker. But if i'm right whe you plug the iPod on the dock we are not using the internal amplifier of the iPod but just the output signal.
I have a Class A amplifier in the living room so to ear some white noise from the speaker I need to bring my ear 2 inches away from the tweeter.
On the iPod the amplifier could be a Class D with alot of white noise.

HELP! My ipad screen is showing some kind of "snowy-white noise TV effect" it looks kind of "grainy". This ipad is new, no drops or accidents whatsoever... and thanks in advance!

HELP! My ipad screen is showing some kind of "snowy-white noise TV effect" it looks kind of "grainy". This happened when i was reading a pdf an zooming in for a better view, now this "snowy, grainy" screen is also showing up in the home screen...This ipad is new, about 2 weeks with no drops or accidents whatsoever... I'm thinking of replacing it... responses greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
but it is possible youhave a hardware defect and will need to return it.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

My Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic White For iPhone says: made in vietnam right in the cord. i want to know if they are OEM? here my email: [email protected], thanks.

Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty but if possible to reset the screen without causing additional damage, the Apple Store should do this without charging for it.

HT4528 I have an iPhone 5c. When I woke up this morning to take it off the charger, the iTunes icon was in the center of my screen with an arrow and a white plug illustration. I have rebooted and it is still stuck. Any suggestions?

Spectrasonics - White Noise, No Audio, and Audio/Midi Sync Sample issues

Just installed all of the spectrasonics software. Omnisphere, Trilogy, RMX, Atmosphere. Im getting very mixed results.
The patch plays, sometimes there's clicks. Then it goes to white noise. Then there's no output.
Thoughts? Thanks

I hear your point re Spectrasonics. Generally when you call a software specific provider, they tell you that they do not provide support for 3rd party software - e.g. Logic etc. Im not sure the troubleshooting is on the Spectrasonics side. Actually, all of them have worked succesfully at various points. Further, the white noise now comes and goes with EXS 24, Battery and others. So, it does not appear to be a problem that is specific only to Spectrasonics.
I use an Apogee Duet. I have tried different buffer settings (256 and 512) and that seems to help with certain apps. E.g. Kontakt appears to work better with less latency at 256. Spectrasonics, when it works appears to work better on 512.
Thanks
