Stock made no difference for me. I called VZW and they updated some network settings on their side. This seemed to make the noise less prominant and occur less often. This makes me think that it might not be a problem with my phone. It's hard to say.
One thing that I noticed is that I almost always have a perfect 3g signal (which is baffling VZW because the closes cell tower is 50 miles from me), but when I make a call, the 1x signal is usually showing 1-2 bars at best. Maybe the 1x voice signal is the whole problem. The thing is, I never show to be roaming or off network. According to VZW, I should be off 90-100%. IDK???????
