So my ringer is a bit weird, when the phone rings the ringer is initially low and kind of distorted then a few seconds in it goes up to full volume. Anyone else have this or know how to fix?
Thanks

Its normal. A feature, not a bug.
I like it. Means I can grab the phone before it gets loud.... think of it as a pre-ring.
Yep, mine does it too. I like it so I don't get a full volume blast right away when the phone rings, making crap my pants.

That's exactly what it is for. Just in case you have your phone to your ear already it isn't blaring. it's like a warning feature.
It's one of my favorite features on this phone. I really really like it.

Why would your phone be up to your ear if you aren't on a call?

its how samsung made it.. all of these phones are like that first 2 seconds are very low then out of no where its loud... it doesnt even seem gradually thats why it sounds weird.... but its made like that! so dont worry about it
I think all samsung mobiles have this feature !
I had 4 Samsung mobiles and all of them had that feature !
I don't know why Samsung done this but I think there is a secret about it !
Oh ok awesome, thanks for clearing that up. This is my first Samsung, I've had mainly HTC's so I wasn't sure if my phone had a bug that I need to fix or something.
The volume it came originally like that cuz I went on YouTube & watch videos on the volume & it's originally like that. It doesn't bother me. I just needed to know why.
Got my Nexus 4 today.
Half an hour ago I realized some constant noise coming out of the top speaker, all the time.
It's very quiet but it's definitely there. Sometimes it sounds like if you have your phone near a radio or anything else with speakers.
Anyone else got the same problem? Might this drain battery?
No issue like that here.
Edit: After further investigation in a quieter place. I do hear a slight sound. As if the top speaker is on.

I just checked. It is really barely noticeable, but it is there!
Let's try to narrow this down...
If you have the issue, write down if it's dependent upon anything.
Does disabling "touch sounds" fix it?
How about disabling noise cancellation?
If you blast some quick bursts of compressed air at it, does it fix it?
If you mute all the volumes, does it help/fix it?
Could you freeze the audio controller app (don't recall the name atm) in system/app?
I got mine today and don't have that issue

I hope someone with the time and dedication will create a thread with a checklist of all the problems, so new owners can check if they have any of those problem and decide whether or not to return the unit.
Also have it here, I'll be surprised if this isn't a common issue.

Me too, just made my first call and noticed it. Its the same if the volume is on or off.

^^ This. I just checked my Sony Xperia ion and it seems to be going "click..click..click..click..click..." over and over, with nothing going on. I bet a huge number of phones have this normally. How many of the "issues" we're seeing are actually just normal phone things, and people are just being overly picky just because it's THIS phone?
No issue here, at least not a constant buzzing.

Man people are being crazy over this phone.
Next up, the touchscreen doesn't operate properly when water gets on the screen
My old phone doesn't do it
This has a high chance to come from the last kernel version ! Anyone using linux may have noticed this from the last kernel update of the sound driver , i think somehow related to the powersaving . It's surely annoying but not a big deal, more software related than a hardware defect.

Very interesting.
That makes sense, I am sure there will be patches..

SOLVED!
That noise is the combined anguished screams of those who couldn't get through on order day or who got back ordered.
Google records them on all android fans and then plays them back over the Nexus 4 at low volume.
Andy Rubin says it makes him smile and helps him sleep. :laugh:
My Xperia mini pro makes noise too. This is normal. Peace

Just checked my old phone(galaxy s3) with 4 different ears, and no such noise was heard.
Without another unit to reference, I have to think something is up with my vibration motor. With haptic enabled on button press, I can't feel anything. I hear a very low, almost inaudible sound that could be the motor trying to work -- but I feel nothing.
How's your haptic response? Is it very pronounced or almost unnoticeable? I want to say I felt it much more during initial setup..
Also when switching the ringer from silent to vibrate, I do feel it (and hear it) but it sounds almost like a dying motor; very weak and unhealthy.
Am I off base here?

I've had my N4 for 3 days now and haptic response is as strong as it was at the start. I am constantly pleased by it since it was poor on my GNex! Vibration in silent mode is great as well so no unhealthy sound here. Sorry to be so happy with mine!

Yea, that's what I was afraid of.. going to try a restore (although I don't have much faith..) and see where that gets me. Short of that, guess I'm going to have to call Google for a RMA.
Sounds like a hardware issue.

Nah, man. Vibration comes and goes, its system-wide not just keyboard. I already have a replacement on the way.

Does anyone else have a really mushy vibrate in there nexus 4, I can here it spinning. It's not crisp like my old Galaxy S.
This thread title is very misleading...
In all seriousness, no.

Yep. My most irritating (and only real) issue. Something tells me they're all like that. You can only hear it when it's really quiet but it's super annoying.
I would recommend downloading FauxClock from the market. It is the app everyone is using to change then screen colors. It has an option to change the vibration setting. Default is 70% and you can see if it can be fixed.

RMA it OP..tell em the vibrator is not good and makes weird noises
There was another read I read a week ago stating that the vibration on the N4 is different from the other phones. I don't remember what it is exactly that I read but it was somewhere close to the lines that it feels more realistic or something. I probably don't make any sense right now, but it's working as intended not a defect.
I just increased the strength and it feels so much better now.

OP can flash a custom kernel such as Franco to change the vibration control.
Use their respective app to change vibration or use the free alternative, Trickster Mod (Play Store)

The Nexus 4 use a linear motor instead of the more common rotational, counterbalanced variety. It is quieter and much more controlled. I very much prefer it.

^^ What he said, pretty much sounds like the same thing I read. If I'm not mistaken, it might of been you who I read that from in another thread.
I prefer it as well, day one I used my N4 I was like wow this feels different but in a good way. I've been in situations where my vibration of my phone is so loud and I can hear it outside of my pocket. Sitting in class and not being able to deny the call or whatever.
I can't grasp how Google thought that a fricking fart under your fingertips is a good thing. Using faux now with vibration set back to 58%, it's far from the short burst I'm used to from the gnex but bearable. It could heal the washed out colors as well. Dunno why Google doesn't calibrate, it diminishes the value of their devices.

Thanks for the replies everyone I knew this was going to be a fun thread. Is there a way to change vibrate settings without root, or do I have to add this to reasons to root list.

Agreed. I notice the difference with the haptic feedback on all the key presses. I prefer it as well.
Actually, the first thing I commented on about the phone was how nice the haptic feedback felt when I first opened it up. I much prefer the linear motor in the Nexus 4, as opposed to the unbalanced rotational vibrator in anything else I've played with. It is tough to explain, but it just feels more controlled and clean.
Maybe mine is faulty then because it feels anything but clean. It doesn't feel like one pulse, there are lots of little after shocks.

If you get franco Kernel you can change the feedback strength (franco is 100 ... stock is 70).
Took everything in me to keep my reply PG :laugh:

Stock kernel also supports vibration strength change. Just download trickster mod and you can change it.

Received my one a few days ago and other than not being able to remove the power saver notification I love this phone.
I do have one concern though. I'm not sure it's a problem but what does everyone think about the call quality? Comparing it to my Sensation it almost sounds like the person on the other end is speaking into a cup.
I haven't had a new phone in quite some time so it might just be something different.. or it might be a problem. What's everyone's opinions?
ATT version here on their network and I think it's the best call quality I've had on a phone, I've used the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 weeks before this aswell so, *shrug*

i have spent about 70 minutes talking on the phone since i got it yesterday afternoon, didn't notice any call quality issues. comparing it to galaxy note 2, nexus 4, and iphone 4.
Compared to the iPhone 5 on iMobile - night and day. HTC is superior.
good question. There is a lot of hissing going on at times. discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235800&highlight=hissing
Hope it gets sorted, this could possibly have the worse call quality I've ever experienced.

I had that phone and the call quiality was awesome, so it must be a problem in your device.
Assuming they are using what Nokia uses then it should be quite good.
Me too, compared with iphone 5, HTC one is realy good and loud
Thanks for the replies. When my local T-Mobile store gets them in stock I'll go in and try and do some comparisons.
To remove power saver notification just long press on the notification and go into the app info and force stop it! This will only stop the notification from appearing and will not stop anything else!

I use my phone extensively for work, and sometimes I take calls in the office (very low background noise) and sometimes in the loading bays (where there's always some sort of moving/construction/drilling etc). Today, while in the loading bay calling up a vendor, the vendor on the other side of the line commented that there were "like no background sounds" and asked me if I was in the office.
This is coming from a Galaxy Nexus, and I've been very pleased with call quality so far.

By the way, to remove power saver, go to settings, app, all apps, power, untick notifications.
