[Help] Loud noise when making calls

Recently I've been experienced loud noises when making calls with my N900. In the beginning it was like background noise and I can still make calls but for a few days the noise was so loud. It's like the radio on the wrong frequency. I cannot hear the other side and the device then lag for about 20 secs when I tried to end the call. Anyone experienced the same thing? I'm running on CSSU-Testing. Is this software or hardware defects?
Maybe I'll go for a full reflash. What do you guys suggest to backup contacts and messages?

Re: [Help] Loud noise when making calls

When was your last reboot?
Sounds a bit like swap fragmentation (even hits me from time to time despite having swap on SD card).

Re: [Help] Loud noise when making calls

I tried rebooting a few times and did have the calls working.

Tried rebooting one more time and the noise reappeared.

So I decided to back things up and do a reflash. So far so good. Well it looks like reflash is the solution to everything.

This is quite contrary. :confused:

After how much time did it happen again?
I could swear only after heavy usage (browsing, calling)!?

And yes (erm NO): flashing is the solution to all SW related problems. :eek:

Well, it happened right after boot up. Maybe somehow it didn't boot properly. After some reboots it worked, after some more the problem returned. Quite random.
It was a long time since my last reflash (~ 1 year), so I thought it was then time to do one, as I also had some other minor problems.

LOL, this just made my day.

Seriously, talking about changing girlfriend, I have a new, "fashioned" phone as main phone now, but still feel quite attached to my N900. I just hope of the day phone calls will be available on Nitdroid, so I can go bragging around. Well, the day will likely never come though.
