Has anyone had any issues with the ear speaker used in calls? I've noticed that a lot of the time there's a slight buzzing, especially with the higher frequencies. The ring tone when calling out is a prime example. It doesn't happen every time, but most of it. Not sure if it's an inherent floor with the phone or a problem with my handset?

Not yet had it a week, so will return it if it's a handset issue, but if they all do it not sure there's any point.

Also noticed that the trim around the micro usb port is not well secured - pulling out the cable can pull off the trim surround. I've glued it in now, but a poor piece of design by HTC.

All that said, it's a cracking phone, if a little large. Screen is fantastic, and so responsive.

I spoke to HTC and they're not aware of it as a generic fault with the product, so hopefully just a faulty handset. Have requested an RMA with handtec to will report back.

Just to update, got a replacement handset today, and no buzzing coming from the earpiece, so happy days!

Have to say, after going back to my HD7 for the weekend, I'm so glad to get the Titan back - it may be a bit on the big side, but it's a fantastic phone.

I do get a sound when i change song but nothing like that.

This may be the same as the "pop" that has been reported on Focus S handsets. It appears to be Mango-related. Not good when plugged into a system with some power, and/or a subwoofer.

Does the sound dc spike (pop), occur if the volume is set below max (i.e, 25/30)?

I haven't had chance to use it often, but it seems like the sound that comes off the speakers when you've maxed out the volume on ordinary phones. It's not ringing but that annoying vibrating sort of noisy feeling when it rings etc.+ it's not all the time though.
