Popping/Cracking sound at beginning of phone call...

[jonvito2]

Everytime I make or receive a phone call there is a pop/crack of static just at the very beginning of the phone call...its pretty annoying and almost hurts my ear when it happens ...anyone else experience this?

 

[anon(94115)]

are you on a completely stock phone or a leak?

 

[jonvito2]

Completely stock

are any of your sound settings maxed out?

Haven't had the issue myself.

Are u using a Bluetooth?

 

[jonvito2]

No bluetooth and if I turn the volume down it does make the "pop" less noticeable but its still there and still annoying....wondering if its a software or hardware issue since the rest of the phone call is fine, just happens at the beginning

Any problem if you leave your general area to make a call so that you're connecting to another tower?

Well I honestly don't know...haven't really left town much since I've had this phone (about a month) and when I have, I dont remember any phone calls I made or received.

Do it and write it off as"research" lol!

lol.

Honestly, I would ask for a new phone. I would not tell VZW the crackling is only at the beginning of a call.

Of course, VZW will tell you to do a factory reset first. And, they may ask you to wait for the OTA, too.

You could also have them reset the radios remotely. That helped with my Charge for a short bit...

Yes

They will

you need to tell them no you want a new phone. It's possible its a software issue but it sounds a little more hardwareish to me. Almost like when the signal goes through the circuit the circuit overamplifies it causing the popping sound. I would imagine after a while that would eventually start to cause issues with your speaker.

The simple answer to the "factory rest" they want you to do is: I already did that. Usually works

I have the same issue and that you have and I am getting a replacement tomorrow!!..

 

[jonvito2]

Im going to wait until I get ICS to see if that does anything...I had a hell of a time with "like New" replacements for my droid x and since this phone works perfectly other than this issue, I'm pretty hesitant on replacing it.
