I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue with their iPhone 5. It's really annoying! Is there a fix?
iPhone 5, iOS 6
Did you try powering off your phone and turning it back on again? I had the same issue one day, tried other means of fixing it, but nothing worked. Then I decided to give turning the phone off and on again a try, and it worked. The sound is no longer there.
I have exactly the same problem. A popping/cracking sound whenever audio is initiated and about 5-10 seconds after it stops. It's driving me insane, anyone know if this is a software problem that can be fixed or is a call to Apple what is needed?
Yes it's very annoying especially if you have it hooked up to your car stereo and all you here is static popping/cracklings after every notification!
I just spoke to Apple support on the phone, they told me it's definitely a hardware issue and that they will issue me a replacement (unfortunately for me the demand is so large that they can't issue it until another 4-5 weeks time, they told me to give them a call back with a case number then and they'll issue one). So definitely give them a call or visit an Apple Store!
I'm having the same issue. It's a faint popping static noise that seems to randomly happen. Almost like something is energizing randomly or the phone jack switches on and off for no reason.. It's much worse when charging and turns into a hum which I assume is coming from the proximity of the charging jack and the head phone jack. I've already returned one phone because of a No Sim Found issue. I hate to keep returning phones. How many times does apple allow phone returns?
I wouldn't worry about how many times you return it. You payed good money and were expecting a good quality iPhone for your hard earned money. I have returned a total of 4 iPhones!! They first had scraps and scratches along the chamfers and the speaker issue. The second the FaceTime camera did not work and the speaker issue. The third had scraps along the chamfer, NO SIM issue and the speaker issue. The last one, which I have now is perfect, besides the speaker issue. I think either the speaker issue is a software issue or its a mass defect. Hope I have been able to help you some.
I just received my new iPhone 5 and the noise seems to be related to LTE network traffic/interference. If you go into Settings>General>Cellular>Enable LTE and turn the feature off, the cracking noise should disappear.
This is a problem, most likely related to hardware as you state Apple confirmed.
Getting ready to test some other iPhone 5s' in the office, if they all exhibit the problem- they're going back.
Yes I have it to. It's whenever any audio is initiated. It's the amp turning on and off. LTE noise is a seperate issue. Airplane mode does not help. Any luck with replacements?
I have a similar problem. When I unlock my phone I here static and it only goes away when I double click the button. Also the volume for ringer and youtube adjust by itself. I think my non jailbroken Iphone 5 might be hacked/tapped.
hi ive the same promlem did yiu find out how to resolve it
I was seeing this issue a few days ago. It was like a static and clicking noise during audio and video playing. The only issue is it continued past 2 minutes. I fixed it by disabling General>Accessibility Phone Noise Cancelation and rebooting.
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! This worked for me! :)
I Had the same problem, even the lock click would sound static and couldn't play music either. I just did the reset by holding the home button and the lock button down together and it resets the phone, that fixed it and my speaker is making normal sounds again.
Has any one noticed the iPhone 5 speakers making static noise for about ten seconds after making a sound? Does anyone know if there is a fix for it?
