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

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

Ear phones and speaker both on.

Hi. Really sorry if there's already a post on this. Is there a way I can turn the speak off when my ear phones are plugged in? I'm getting all the sounds like msg and ring tones coming out of speaker when my ear phones are plugged in. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure your headphone jack is plugged in fully? Haven't heard of this before - the speaker should be disconnected when the jack is inserted so all calls come in via headphones.
Have you tried bluetooth headset to see if that has the same issue?
Which ROM/Kernel are you using?
If you are still having issue then maybe a hardware fault - in which case take it back to Sammy under warranty.

The main point of this is so that if your earphones are plugged into your phone and they aren't in your ears the speakers ring to let you know there is a call or notification so you don't miss it, I don't think there iis a way to disable it though, or at least not on a stock rom

I'm on paranoid android 4.0.4. Yeah the ear phones are fully in. Wasn't sure if it was all phones that did this or something in settings that can disable it. I have them in at work so obviously its good if I get my msg tone and ringtone through my ear instead of through both. Thanks for your quick replies.

i know exactly and i wish there's a way to disable the speaker when the ear phone is plugged. I remedy this by going silence when i am plugged.

Random "click" noise

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.

Could it possibly be the autofocus that people are taking about?

It does sound like that . mine sounds loose when I tap that back glass everything seems to be working OK and not sure if I'll let it bug me just yet

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)

Weird Buzz noise when click on app or navigating

I have this weird buzz noise when I open an app or navigate through my phone I click anything. I rooted my phone when I first got it and it was happening on the rom. So I switched to aokp and still had the same problem. Then, I flashed to stock as I bought it and still has the same problem. Could this be a hardware issue? I was thinking to call google play to see what they would do?

Anyone have any similar issues?

I've had a similar problem where tapping the screen creates an audible "click" sound. At first I thought it was the speaker popping, but then I noticed it happening while the volume was down.
It doesn't happen on every touch, but it happens enough to be noticeable.

Exactly the same problem as me. My dad n4 does do it. But if I put the ear piece to my ear, I hear a faint buzzing noise also. Did you call Google about it?

Buzzing Noise When Using Headphones

I've heard a lot about a buzzing noise coming from the earpiece, but whenever i plug in my headphones it makes a really annoying buzzing noise. I'm running AOKP Build 1 with Franco #28 kernel and the beats audio mod. I'm also using original Apple earphones. Any thoughts on how to fix this without flashing AOKP from scratch again? Thanks!

I recall someone else saying Bluetooth being on can cause problems. If it's on try turning it off.
Otherwise I don't know, mines OK with skull candies.

Bluetooth is off :/

Same here ...... It has something to do with the radio modem as when I was on 4.2.2 with older boot loader this did not happen but after I switched to the newer radio modem the buzzing started and man its annoying! Anyone's got any solution?

I had an app that trigged the proximity sensor. Uninstalled the app and the noise was gone.

Is it like a actual buzzzzzzzz sound or a rapid click click click sound? If it's actually a click noise, it is the proximity sensor, and you have some other app constantly running it. If it's a buzz, are you running a custom kernel? Do you usually crank up the volume? Have you messed with headset gain?

I have the same problem. not rooted
and its not buzzing.its more like rapid clicking, but I don't think I have any apps that use the proximity sensor. idk what to do fam

What the f has the kernel to do with this buzzing noise? This is one of the stupidest suggestions I read in my entire life.
The noise is hardware related. You can't fix it with software.
Guys, you have to accept that the Nexus 4 ist a cheap built smartphone with a LOT of problems, and I am not talking about the bad camera or the bad display in general.
I am talking about the huge and small bugs, for example.:
- noise in earspeaker
- buzzing noise with headphones
- heat-problems (YES, the N4 actually HAS heat-problems)
- Sleep of Death (LED and sound is working, but screen is black -> restart with Power+Volume)
- not-responsive screen when unlocking/not able to answer a call because of this
- dark line on the left side of the screen (especially on grey backgrounds)
- (maybe I am the only one with this problem, but this happens very often) when I am trying to unlock the ring, the status-bar slides down
- WiFi and GPS problems
- and more
Sure, the N4 was really cheap in its price and the problems testify that this phone is cheap.
The parts they used are cheap (e.g. DA-converters, display (don't tell me that it is possible to adjust the screen colors), speakers, cameras, microphone etc.). Maybe also the engineers who built the N4 were cheap.
Before I bought the N4 I had a Nexus S. It was WAY better than the N4 in many points.
I always recommended the Nexus line to my family and friends. But after using the N4 for long enough I will never recommend it again.
It's a piece of crap with a well-meant OS and causes headaches.
