Slanted headphone jack - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know I'm being nitpicky but I wanted to know if it's normal that my headphones are slanted about 5 degrees towards the left and not just perpendicular to the phone?
I'm using the headphones that came with a SGS3, and it's not the cord.
Can't take a pic now. Might be able tomorrow.

Yes, it's normal.

Yes. mine too. It's probably normal.

Yep .. mine too, noticed it the other day.

Yeah, just noticed it, I find it more well thought of than anything, it makes the jack flush with the curved design, while not being of any disturbance.

earpiece grille pushed in?

Is everyones earpiece grille level with the glass? I think mine has been pushed in and is now loose ish inside the phone.
The grille isn't supposed to be flush with the screen

+1, it's positioned a few millimeters below the display glass. Doesn't sound good that it's loose, though.
I think I'm just imagining stuff, its because I dropped it, and just happened to notice a rattle at the same time..but after some googling it sounds like every nexus 4 rattles
Take medicine for your OCD. Your phone is fine.
Thanks guys ocd = cured

Slight bump on external speaker port - defect?

Ok, just got the phone and on the bottom of the back of the phone where the speaker output is it is slightly raised...it seems normal, but unecessary so im just wondering if everyones is like that or if mine has a slight cosmetic defect...
Again...it seems normal. just a little out of place/unneccessary ...and its jot the actual speaker itself but on the back cover where the port for the speaker on the middle line it is raised slightly

I think it is just a design flaw.

Could be there for when the phone is on a flat surface you can still hear the sound.
I'm not really sure tho.

I'd say keep it up. It assisted in answering a question of mine as I thought it was a defect at first glance.

My Galaxy Note had the same bump, it helps to elevate the speaker if it's on a flat surface. I never consciously noticed it until now

Broken speaker??

Ok, I have too many issues to my nexus 7 to even talk about, but I had really bad screen lift, and I took the back cover off to tighten the screws, and try a few other methods to fix it. Screen lift got better, but now only one of my speakers plays sound, I have tried 3 pairs of headphones, and only the right speaker works in all 3 pairs. These same headphones work fine in my nexus 4 and gnex.
I have issues with files/settings resetting/dispearing as well, but I'm confused as to why only one speaker, and one headphone will play?

Its obviously something wrong with your headphone jack.
You could have messed up the wiring when you removed the back or it could be something as simple as some dust stuck inside the headphone jack.
Look inside the headphone jack and see if you can see anything. Maybe get some keyboard cleaner and blow it out.

Yes, I have tried that but the actually left speaker on my tablet is not working as well, so neither the left speaker on my tablet or the left speaker on any headphones I try work. I'm thinking something in the speaker module controlled headphones mabey?

If it's affecting both, I'd have to guess it's the ribbon cable running down to the lower assembly, per the second frame in the above URL (three pictures, hover over the thumb on the right to switch) .
Might remove that cable and re-insert it. The connector can be a little tricky, see this youtube video:

Ah sorry about that. I'd have to agree with the previous post. Remove the cover and check the ribbon cable. You could have just loosened it up some so that it is not making full connection.

Why not you simply RMA if under warranty , I also had speakers issue , they did it without any trouble.

I have RMAd twice once for the device not turning on, then again because of screen lift, I might just have to do it again.

Back letters falling off

I'm just curious, has anyone ever gotten their Nexus letters at the back removed, as in the shiny black vinyl that covers them? The letters N, E and X were completely peeled off in my case in a matter of weeks when I was holding it, along with the adhesive.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Nope, but I've had a case on it since day 1...:thumbup:
Odd. Hasn't happened to me. (Happened to every BlackBerry Curve 8520 I had, though. Damn, that phone sucked.)
Wonder if it's affected by how you hold it. Definitely return it anyway.
Wait, I didn't even know that could happen, I though they were like part of the plastic.
You got a picture of it?
Do you have a wireless charger?
I have one and I have noticed that after charging it is kind of warm on the back and I have to wipe some kind of stain around some off the letters. Now that you mention your letters falling off it gets me
thinking that the glue could be melting away or something.
My N7 is only 7 weeks old and I'm using a Fatboy pillow for charging.

I had this same problem just a few days ago I noticed like a sticky residue seeping from the letters on the back and part of the letter lifting. I just removed all the sticker and cleaned away the sticky residue 'see attached pic' I actually prefer it without glued on sticky letters. Looks good I think.

Wireless charging here and my letters are falling off now also.

I use the wireless charging feature as well - no issues, and it spends all night - every night - on the charger.
I didn't know that there was plastic in the letters to make it shiny. When mine finally fall out on their own, I think I'll get some model paint and paint the letters in white. Or maybe bright red. Just to be different.
Really? They fall? lol, I though they were pretty much part of the case :b

Wow I didn't even know this was possible. Makes me not want to use wireless charging if it's going to destroy the design of my device.

It really looks good, haha It's not that I want mine to fall but, if it happens, I won't be mad at all

Been using wireless charging from the day I got it and the letters are still firmly on there. Touchscreen though, now thats another issue.

Yup, it looks like this. I was thinking about removing the rest so it looks uniform again the hollow letters do look nice, though. I don't own a wireless charger so I don't think that's the issue.

Wireless charger, same problem here.
Now that you mention it and I saw the picture, you're right, the hollow letters doesn't look bad.

No wireless charging here either it's just glued on stickers that are losing stick over time as they heat and cool.
I'ts just like black tape.
Sure it looked cool glossy but doesnt bother me, I just picked out my letters with my nail and cleaned it up.
I like the 'indented' look nexus on the back.
What assembly dates do you have on yours? Perhaps they just changed to a less strong glue or even applied less glue due to the first batches problem of stains/glue residue.

One sided audio in headphones

Hi guys
For some reason recently when I plug in my headphones I only get sound from one side.
Can anyone guide me on this? Most likely a hardware problem I know.
Does anyone know if I have to get a new jack port, where I could get one from?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Actually, this has happened to me quite a few times. I found it to be a problem with the headphones/earbuds instead of faulty hardware. First, my left audio would disappear, and about a month later, the right audio would follow suit. I believe it's just a problem with cheap earbuds, or at least was in my case.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Hmm I dont think its the ear buds as they work fine in every other thing. I've also tried different ones in the n7
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Have you tried shining a light down the 3.5 jack hole (haha, i said jack hole!) to make sure both the small contacts are sticking out far enough to make contact with the earbuds stem?
