Headset speaker making popping noise on actions - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, wondering if anyone else has this problem. At the outset, I want to note this is NOT the headset crackle problem (where you can hold phone up to ear and hear noises).
When I perform an action, such as pressing the back button on Chrome or clicking a link or hitting the icon to an app, there's a chance that my headset speakers will make a popping noise. This is weird for a few reasons. One, my phone is on vibrate or silent, so it's not the standard "noise-on-button-press". Second, it's coming from my headset speakers, not the standard speakers.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a solution? It's happened to two out of the three phones I've used, and I don't know if it's worth it to do another replacement.

My first n4 had that same issue so I called Google play and they issued a RMA. It was just really annoying. And that same one had the noises in the ear piece. My second one doesn't seem to have the popping noise, but does have some noise in ear piece sometimes.

handset incall speaker issue

I was wondering...if anyone hears a clicking sound when the other party on the line is loud. This is when the phone is in normal mode ie no speaker phone or headset.
Brand new phone, but i feel like its the cone of the speaker hitting the housing or something. I guess it could be a popping sound but is more like a clicking sound and i have to turn the volume down and it goes away. Certain letter anounciations seem to cause this.
maybe i should just get a headset!

[Q] Weird Sound Issue

My phone began having this weird sound issue. I can play music through the headphone jack, but not the speaker. However alerts come through the speaker. Also, my ear piece and microphone stopped working. However when I turn on the speaker I can hear the other party clearly they just can't hear me well. I have to yell into my phone.
Anyone else having these issues? I've already flashed a new rom and am entirely updated.
Have you tried hard reset? I think it's hold the power button down for 30 seconds

Pop noise when receiving a Notification

I just got my moto x Pure a few days ago and i noticed when i receive a text message i get this pop noise after the notification sound stops playing. I went in the settings to change the notification sound and as im switching between them they all have a pop noise always after there done playing or sometimes before playing. If i try to change the ring tone it doesn't happen, they start and end fine with no pop noise. I remember having a similuar issue with my nexus 4 and to remedy the situation i would disable touch sounds and vibration but it doesnt seem to help with this phone.
Someone on reddit said he had the same issue. Anyone else experience this ?
Yep. Happens on my too. It's the speaker going online and standby. Happens on all phones, but in Moto X Pure is loud and noticeable. Cheap speaker? Don't know. Also on my, when playing the tone "Zeta" I get bad speaker crackling noise. Specially when volume is high.

i adjusted the bass in the audio equalizer and it seems to help with ring tones like the zeta, at least i think it did.
I dont get the pop noise when i play a youtube video or listen to google music, so its weird to me.

Thank you for posting this. Now I know I'm not the only one with the problem. I was worrying I'd have to do an RMA, but maybe this'll be fixable with a software update.
Didn't even notice the crackling until I specifically listened for it. Now I can't unhear it. Ughh! This is going to drive me nuts. Similar issue with my N6. Playing music or videos there is no problem. Just notifications and ringtones.

I don't want to highjack the thread, so we should probably move here to discuss crackling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/bad-speaker-crackling-t3200536
The speaker crackling and pop noise after notifications may be seperate issues

Pretty sure they are. I have both though. I notice the pop very easily at night. I have a few apps set to priority, so they'll ring even when I'm sleeping. Last night I got a couple notifications and definitely heard an audible pop about a second after the tone stopped playing. It seems like it happens when power is being cut to the speaker.
My Nexus 6 had similar QC issues. The phone stopped detecting SIM cards about a month after I bought it. Moto sent me a replacement which I sold because it was NIB. Beginning to worry that Lenovo is cheaping out a bit too much on their flagships.
I don't have my phone in hand yet so...has anyone tried some third party ringtones or notifications? The reason I ask is because I imagine it's possible that the default recorded sounds may have some type of silent space after the "music" or the sound stops causing this. Maybe somebody can try a few home made ones to see if it still happens.
Yes i tried third party notification sounds. Same thing happens
Anyone else affected by this bug
Getting the pop noise as well. It's very noticeable. I'll hold off for awhile and see what Moto does about the issue.
I've got it as described above. Sounds like power coming on and then cutting off. Reminds me of powering on and off an old boombox from the 80's.

I have no POP noise at all. As I said before I think it has to do with the earliest batches that were delivered. Even though I ordered on the second day of pre-order I received mine several days after many others. Maybe I got mine from a second, or later batch?? No speaker distortion either even at full volume!
Decided to return it and get another one. Maybe I just got one of the bad batches. I also had a small scratch on it right out of the box. Would've ignored the scratch if everything else was good... but I can't unhear the speaker crackles and pop.
waiting now for return authorization for this problem, which is a little hairy because I'm not the original owner. I do have the receipt though--shouldn't the warranty transfer?
That pop noise very noticable when using viber...
Also try to press keyboard keys and put the speaker closer to the ear... Its like speakers are turn on/off ...
yeah, it's the amplifier shutting off. happens on crappy laptop soundcards too usually. pretty much all of them have it.

Maybe with custom kernel it could be fixed?
perhaps, but who knows anymore. lol

Headphone pop at high volumes

Does anyone else have an issue with the audio cutting out when the volume is up high when using headphones? For example, during a phone call, if things get loud, the audio will start popping.
Something's telling me that I may have to RMA, but other than that, I have no other issues. Screen is perfect and I don't want to lose that.
I have the same issue

I have the same issue, I purchased my Nexus 6P yesterday and this exact issues is being experienced. I can only have the audio up 3/4 before the earbuds headphpnes start to pop and cut out. I have tested this on myltiple earbuds headphones and the same issue occurs every time. Any one have any ideas before I take it back under warranty.

Headphones making volume decrease automatically

Just found a weird issue with my priv, when using my ear buds the volume randomly will go all the way to zero by its self, and when I try to increase the volume it fights me and goes down while I'm trying to turn it up. The brand of headphones is skullcandy and I have 2 pairs that do the same thing. I tried some samsung ones and they didn't have the problem but they sound worse and do not get nearly as loud. I need them loud because when I play my drums I need to hear the music which I can't with the Samsung ones. Anyone else have this issue? I would hate to have to buy new ones as i like the ones I already have.

Interesting...could it be that the connector on your new headphones is different from the samsung one? Also have you tried this pair of headphones on another phone?
It really sounds like the headphones have a button that's stuck on them. I haven't come across this issue with my priv yet.... Have you tried using the headphones with another device and see if they do the same thing?
Hi,
I am facing the same issue without headphones. I really have to fight to increase the volume and then after few seconds it automatically decrease it,
What should I do?
