-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi KaZeR-
We are not ignoring about the buzz fix issue, actually we are very serious about this bug and fix. The buzz issue mostly comes from EMI (Electromagnetic Disturbance), and it's hardware design related. Buzz comes from mechanical/layout/component/schematics, and each part could have eliminate some level EMI effect (buzz). By apply a filter, and change audio configuration, we could make FR have better noise resist in audio trace. But EMI still comes through mechanical(antenna position close to mic), layout (already in FR printed circuit board), and component (microphone as small antenna get EMI) joerg already publish release candidate version SOP of buzz fix, the reason it stay in rc and did not have update is: #1 Can't tell how much it could improve, yet As described above, buzz fix actually is EMI resist fix/workaround, Currently, we have 2 feedback from kindly community member help verify joerg's SOP, and have positive result. Community do a great work on verification, but we don't finish internal/mass verification for how much it could improve. #2 Don't have the test SOP/audio file for this rework For GPS hardware SOP, it's easy to tell if you could get a fix within 3 minutes with GPS application and NMEA string, but for audio rework in field, it could only tell by callee's ear. So after rework's pass/fail test method and audio alsa (A6 rework) file not ready yet. Upon this 2 reasons, this fix stay in rc, even this fix already used in some phones and get positive result.
