kitkat headphone noise? ?

[anthony2558]

Mine does the same. I went back to the moto x to see if it was just the headphones but it not. Def an LG issue. No clue on a fix tho.

The problem has been solved on my phone . I cant tell you when it was fixed, or which update it was, as i havent used headphones on my phone in a long time. I tried it today and the sound was a good as one can expect from a phone.

[InTE=chrisnutt;3533797]Hi guys been seeing on web people complaining of headphone hissing noise a after kitkat update on lgg2 ,anybody have it? Kitkat not arrived in UK yet an I'm wondering wether to hold off updating when it does.Thanks for any replys

I updgraded my lg g2 from 4.2.2. Jellybean to 4.4.2. Kit kat and i had the same issue of hissing sound in left ear piece of my headphones. I got annoyed and surfed internet for possible solutions. And i came across one suggestion of again updating my software. I checked and downloaded the another new update of around 135 mb and wallah sounds became perfect just like earlier and it solved my sound problem. Now i have disabled automatic software updates for preventing issues In future... im writing this just to let know you guys thats this issue is not permanent and recoverable.

Re: kitkat headphone noise? ? "AUDIO" LIFE IS NOT GOOD WITH THE LG G2

I had this problem last summer, did the upgrade prescribed by juneaidzia, and also got rid of the problem. BUT, problem sometimes recur after a (normal) restart of the machine. Happened once autumn 2014, and then again today as I restarted the machine (I do that not-too-often).

How to get rid of the problem I really don't know, but working with development of Android audio apps, I know that this type of audio "hizz" is typical of digital noise. It is just very annoying if not unbearable.

As LG promotes the LG G2 and LG G3 as having superior sound system, I am surprised that LG does not show some respect for their customers and fix the bug within the timeframe of more than a year. With all the time passed one could suspect that LG is unaware. Hopefully there will be an error fix in the Lollipop upgrade that the Norwegian customer support assures me is "just around the corner"?

I wish there was a way to contact LG technical staff in Korea and make a notification of this.

Yes, I found me too. The problem is that it also does with Lollipop, with the first release issued a few days ago. It is also affected by this problem the microphone.
