Hi, I don't really know where to post this but does anybody have any hardware issues with their Nexus 4? Whenever I apply a bit of force above the volume rocker (under the chrome part) it makes a small clicking sound. I don't know if it's nothing or if it might get worse over time.

I guess the problem is of the silly packing of chipset and stuffs inside... many users have observed the rattling too
I guess it wont create a problem as such ... just stop applying force ... LOL or else it can create a crater inside !

Hey, has anyone else had a problem where, after weeks of a seemingly flawless n7, it starts to creak ? For me its when I put a bit of pressure on the right side of the screen and release.. its barely concerning, and after 3 rmas already I'm not sure if they'd let me do another, but do you think I should try? I definitely do not feel like opening up and fixing it by adjusting screws.. but A what if I get a defective one and B what if after so many Google says no :S thoughts ?

They can't say no.
If they send you dodgy hardware they are obliged to repair it if its still under warrenty

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)

Haven't had that problem once in the two days I've had this.

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)
Sometimes when tapping the screen, I'll get a very feint click or tap noise that sounds like it comes from the screen. Like its a physical sound not coming from the speaker which is turned all the way down. Anybody else get this? I searched but I couldnt find anything.

try using some pressure at the bot of the Nexus. Most people have this issue with the body itself. It may appear if u hit the lcd, but it is possible that it is caused by another finger holding the phone at the bot of the body

could be some glue or adhesive from the screen/digitizer coming loose. Also could be the speaker anyway, because if it's turned down it doesn't seem to matter. Some are reported to make static/clicky sounds regardless of being muted or not.
Hi guys,
just got a Nexus 4, and during a phone call I heard a clicky sound coming from the phone,
it kinda sounds like the camera when its autofocusing. It can be heard when I tilt the phone backwards and forwards.
Anybody else having this?

This is a normal issue among all N4 devices. There is a posse part of some sort and there's nothing you can do to stop it unfortunately.

Any idea whats causing it?
Just found out what it is. The system that ejects the simcard is making the noise, here is a video on how to fix it.

Hi there
First some specs:
Nexus 4
PA3.99-RC2
Franco.kernel.plus 188.
SuperSU root
Latest gapps
I have tried asking in the the Paranoid Android Google+ discussion forum, but no useful answers yet. This is x-posted in general Q&A forum as well, to see if other devices also have this.
The problem:
When I use my phone I get random glitchy/clicky sounds from the top speaker (I'm pretty sure it's from there). It's a very quick glitch/click, and then it stops. It doesn't happen in a specific pattern, meaning that it's not like it comes whenever I press the back button or anything - it just happens sometimes. Sometimes more often than other. When I try to recreate the sounds (tapping a lot of menus, settings, apps, etc.) I find it difficult to recreate. It is REALLY random, perhaps mostly after I haven't used my phone for a while, and I turn it on!
Have anyone tried this, and knows a solution? It didn't annoy me at first, but now it really does.
As far as I remember it started when I upgraded to PA3.99. However, I have tried RC-1 and RC-2 and I have also tried stock kernel, Hellscore kernel and different Franco-kernel versions.

Just like you, I've noticed the noise but it sounds to me like its coming from the loud speaker. It doesn't happen that often and its hard to reproduce the sound (like you said). By the way I'm complete stock/unrooted with a lock bootloader. Hopefully its a software glitch and not hardware since the speakers don't sound busted.

Okay, it sounds like it could be the same thing. I don't think my speakers are busted either.. I guess the sound would come more often if that was the case.
It could be from the loud speaker.. Because it's so hard to reproduce, I can't really test it.
I would just love for it to go away.
Unfortunately I've never tested this phone with any other ROM other than 4.3 (Jwr66y) so I don't even know if it's a software glitch. Hopefully it is though.

Since we're experiencing what seems to be the same thing; I would think it most likely is a software thing. But I don't understand why - and why there isn't more people reporting this.....which makes me think I've done something wrong, hence the cry for help
Maybe some people don't notice it. It's not that much noticeable. The first few times I heard it I thought I was hearing things.

Yeah, maybe. I also only notice when there's not any other noise around me. Like when I'm laying in bed, etc.
Lmao. That's exactly when I hear it (laying in bed).

Yes I have it on my N4!! I also had it with my i9300 and my Nexus S. Very subtle. Glad I'm not the only one

I'm also having the same thing with Paranoid 3.98. Didn't have it on my Nexus S though.
