Does anyone else notice this with a GSM device? Everytime my sidekick is near my tv, car radio, computer, basically any electronic device it makes whatever it is next to make a buzzing noise. This shit is getting kinka annoying. Anyone else notice this?

 

Yeah any TDMA phone (GSM is a type of TDMA) will do that. I used to keep my phone under the head unit and about 1 second before the phone rang, the radio would buzz. Totally normal. CDMA doesn't do it because it transmits in a totally different way.

 

not true...cdma phones near my computer speakers buzz right before and after a text message...

 

Here's a thread on this topic...from way back even before 9/11.

TDMA=time division multiple access. A system where a frequency is shared by multiple conversations at the same time, each one getting access to the frequency for a tiny bit of time at a time. GSM uses that system to talk between the towers and the phones. Not that its compatible with other forms of TDMA, just like a floppy and a zip disk are both flexible rotating magnetic storage, but they're not compatible.

 

Hmm. I've had Verizon for years and have never had it affect any speaker. Maybe your speakers suck.

 

How is GSM/TDMA/IDEN related: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/cell-phone14.htm

 

nothing wil ever happen with my verizon phone making a buzzing noise. years ago i could tell before my att phone would ring in my car cause it would buzz my speakers. now the gsm does it all the time when its close. i does not even have to ring

 

i have GSM and i think it sucks... it always turns into a cingular phone. I also put my phone under my head unit the wierd signal noise comes up on the speakers.
