Hi
Anyone has voice leakage problem during phone calls? Voice from the other side can be heard clearly by people around me...
How to fix this?
Um, turn the earpiece volume down...?

SO..it seems it's a problem with the Note and there's no way to really fix it (I don't mean ways to circumvent it)? Is it due to the long size of the speaker on top?
It sounds like it's due to the Note having a good volume band. If it's bugging you, turn it down. That's not really a work around is it? More of a choice, and which is a good thing I thought?

I really had to check it was not still April 1. I do not see a 'loud' speaker as a problem, as you can simply turn it down. I do not find my note to be too loud. If yoh are using a custom rom tben it might be the rom that is amplifying the sound.

The speaker is not long at all. The grill is, but that makes little difference.
The real problem is that the phone is so damned thin! The ear-speaker happily blasts out of the back too.
What is irritating is that you still get the issue where if the grill is not well positioned against your ear you cannot hear well, even though everyone around you can
Turn!
It!
Down!
'nuff said.
No.. there is NO problem with the Note..
if people around you can hear it then would you not say that is a real obvious clue that you have the volume too loud..? turn it down...or.. get you one of these http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/7830/
problem solved.

You could always try downloading the galaxy tuner and adjusting the volume through it. You must be rooted though...

I don't use any of the stock ringers anyway, so I just modded the gain of the MP3's I use for ringers before I sent them to the phone. I also use the Voodoo sound app to get the gain up a little on the headphone jack.

I guess we're just more deaf than you are. For fun I listen to death metal for long periods on high volume and shoot shotguns, high powered rifles, etc... My hearing is pretty well screwed.

Every day I work iexpose my self to 100dbs or greater for extended period of time. My personal car reaches 172dbs (173dbs with voodoo sound) (world record is 178dbs). If you haven't figured it out I do mobil electronics. I'm also no stranger to high powered fire arms.
Its not long till I'm fully deaf

I hear ya man (pun intended).... I also played in a machine shop on the weekends when I was a kid which I'm sure didn't help. I have no idea how many dbs my car puts out but I'm sure it's no where near that. Wonder if there's an app for that...
Well, Well, Well... This really is a swiss army phone. Just installed a free DB meter.

I wonder if it actually works? I'll have to run it side by side with a real mic
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
My mom had this same problem. I found a solution tho. Somehow when she connected her Bluetooth the phone rings through the front speaker instead of the speakerphone speaker so I'm assuming increasing the volume of a ringtone may kill your speaker. Anyway if you disconnect Bluetooth and restart the phone the ringtones worked flawlessly
Mind you she began having the problem after the froyo update but today she said she updater something last night now she has low volume again. Hope this helps somebody
called myself through my house phone and played with voodoo settings till i heard a difference. well, this worked for me:
in voodoo, scroll down till you see "Digital/Analog Conversion Quality Settings"
uncheck "Hi-fi record" (ADC 128x oversampling Maximize recordings quality)
rom being used: cynogenMod beta1
Voodoo Sound Plus 3.1.1
Upgrade to beta 2
The only setting that causes mic issues is the mic one the options are normal, balanced and loud something to that effect change it to loud and callers will hear you. The hifi record does not play a factor.
Holy double thread Batman!
shucks
the environments change the input volume and i think the hi-fi record turns on a gate. cause turning off hi-fi made a big difference to me cause people dont have hard time hearing me anymore and i dont have to touch anything. and i've always thought recording has to do with mic inputs. oh well....

I don't think so, I'm still on beta 1, but the voodoo toggle was the fix for me to get the mic to work properly, so I know they didn't fix it on Beta 1.

Well rc1 update one has been out for a litttle bit the change log says they boosted the mic

Beta 2 did not fix this issue in regards to what he's talking about, and without testing it yourself you shouldn't tell him he's wrong. I'm always told people can not hear me and I just did the same test with my home phone. With HiFi record enabled I could not be heard unless I put my mouth directly over the mic and talked very loud. With HiFi record disabled I could then be heard from a normal distance at which with it enabled I could not be heard at all from the same distance as if I were not even speaking.
Thank you for this. I'll test more later when my girl calls me and see if she can actually hear me ok or not with this disabled.

Some of us use voodoo sound with the stock kernel through voodoo sound plus. That's where it gets confusing. I'm not saying the issue is cm9. It's definitely this setting and/or voodoo sound in general. I'm just saying this is good to know for any of us that use stock cm9 but also inject the voodoo driver via the app.

This totally works i tried it on 3 different cell phones my moms epic touch my dads zte fury and my younger brothers transform ultra i think the way it makes things higher quality is it filters out more interference ergo wind static etc etc but in doing so the volume it can record at is severly lowered.

Every now and then, when opening an app or using the system buttons at the bottom, a very short "click" noise comes from the speaker. I have my N4 on silent/vibrate all the time and it is not an operating system noise that's meant to be there because its random. The best way to describe it is that it seems like the phone is "accidentally" starting to play a sound then stopping because its realised its in silent mode.
Anyone else getting this? Views on this problem?
(It happened again as I was typing this, so it happens through the the keyboard key presses as well)

Media Volume
Maybe you have to turn down the media volume.
I don't have a nexus 4, but I do get that random click noise on my incredible s as well, and from many different roms. I am not sure what it is, though.
Key press noise in settings turn it off may stop it the Gnex had this issue and still does

I get that click noise occasionally on my HTC HD2.
Running PACMAN 4.1.2 Jellybean at the moment.
I had this issue as well. I just turned off touch sounds and all is well.
I should note that I have keyboard sounds enabled and I do not experience the random clicking noise.
It seems to be isolated to the enabling of touch sounds, whether on vibrate or any audible volume.

I have the autofocus rattle issue as well. But I rarely if ever would shake my phone like that.
At this point I am just grateful that I got my phone, let alone got my phone earlier than projected. There are a lot of people that would love to hear the rattling of the autofocus on their N4.

Power Management
Ok... I think this is correct,
The audio chip like most other IC's are entering power saving mode milliseconds after you hear any audio so the small click is the powering up and down of the audio hardware... Many phones do this and many people don't notice it.
It's quite normal but if you have very good hearing it might bother some more then others.

It seems like a touch sound issue.
Make sure you've got touch sounds turned off by going:
Settings > Sound > Touch Sounds (disable the checkbox)
I requested an RMA for my device and the new received device has the same problem, the buzzing/interferences in the earpiece. I'm thinking about requesting another RMA but I want to be sure that there is someone who doesn't have this problem or I will wait until new devices without this are manufactured.
Mine doesn't buzz, and was ordered on the 27th. My hearing is good too, so I'd notice it
Like a little clear buzz? That's what I get on any call tho
Mine doesn't and i ordered it on the first release.

You must try to put against your ear. It is tiny buzz only when screen on . Mine I can hear it on locked screen. But it gone if I turn off screen
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Nope. No buzz here, no matter how close I hold it to my ear.
Ordered on the 4th.
So do you normally operate your phone next to your ear when not in call?
I know some are worse than others. If it is barely inaudible I wouldn't worry about it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Everyone realizes that as people age they lose the ability to hear certain frequencies right? So the people that cant hear it, maybe you just cant hear that frequency anymore. Hearing higher frequencies has nothing to do with "good" hearing either.
Then again, maybe they really don't have the buzzing noise. Just something to throw out there.

Mine is barely audible, but can't help believe that constant buzzing is causing battery drain. That sound energy must be powered from somewhere.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Mines has a slight buzz when phone screen is off, on etc.Very minimal
During phone calls, I barely hear it, phone calls are clear so I'm just going to keep it the way it is. It's dealable and doesn't bother me.
Pretty sure the buzz doesn't cause a drain. I have amazing battery life as it is atm.
I had the same issue and got a RMA. My second one has the same buzzing earpiece only when I hold it to my ear in a silent room. Is this normal because I already replaced it once. I don't here anything in calls.

Mine does not. If It did I would return it.
I have had multiple peeps listen to it just to ensure.
I reckon most people have it but don't hear it. Go to a dead silent room and turn your phone on, listen very carefully and there's probably a faint buzz. As you can tell, this is what I experience, but damn you'd have to be super picky to RMA for that. If you're hearing it semi-clearly in calls then that's another thing!

Some cases make it worse. Loudness isn't the issue - blocked speakers is.
I do agree with the OP. Not really a smart design where placing the phone on its back effects the sound output due to the speaker being blocked. I use a custom back cover and its even worse than the original.

Ya some cases do, some will still allow certain amount of noise instead of being blocked when placed on cushion or soft grounds.
It'll be better if the speaker is at bottom beside the port area

Yes i am, but even without the case when the phone is placed on a flat surface the sound is a bit low, the case only makes it a bit worse, hats off to htc for the front stereo speakers, not to offend any of us but im sure everyone would love that on our s4, i agree with the post above the speaker should be on the bottom where the sound would not be blocked..but that's a small burden we have to carry on our back for such an amazing device
