no one ?? not even to say its a possible fault ??
Some times i have same problem
I had the same problem on my first SGS2. Mine was always showing this problem though. It sounds like the speaker is damaged from being too loud. I exchanged it only hours from buying it on day 1. It's a hardware issue if you have the same problem.
superb thanks thats what i thought i arranged replacenent through amazon and it arrives tuesday ... fingers crossed for second one

Anyone else encounter any speaker issues with their Nexus 7?
My Nexus 7 has cracking that occurs after the volume is turned up halfway.

Sure do. And the screen issue and the tablet turning off while charging overnight issue. I have emailed google to see if I can get a replacement, but no response yet. The speaker issue seems to be alleviated by using the Equalizer App from the play store. I use the Jazz Preset and it seems to work. But still, unacceptable.

Yes, I have the same issue with crackling noise at higher volume levels. Not sure if this is really a defect or just a cheap speaker problem.

I do not have any issues with my sound, speaker or headphones, at any volume level. Sounds great compared to my some what quiet Galaxy Nexus
I have a very scratchy sounding speaker, at any volume. I have already contacted Staples and will get the new one on Wednesday. Pity too, everything else is perfect...

That's what I'm thinking. Speaker is very scratchy on mine above half volume, but I've got no dead pixels or screen lifting. Worried I'll get one that's worse!
Mine had a lot of distortion, though only on certain sounds/music above about 70% volume. After using the Equaliser app and tweaking the settings a bit it sounds much better.
Again, if this is a defect or just a really cheep speaker (I think the latter), no one really knows.

The one I just got at any volume there is popping, cracking, distortion, you name it. Speaker is definitely blown. And this was right out of the box.
Currently on hold with Google going to get an RMA.

Yep, that's how mine is too. Can't stand even having the speaker on at all. It even scratches with the typing sounds.
I agree with others, I am nervous that the new one I get tomorrow will have all the issues I am reading about. Because the one I have now is perfect, except the crappy speaker. No other issues at all. I almost decided to keep it and try to fix it myself, but if the issue is something more than a simple fix I would make things worse.
I'll let everyone know tomorrow after 6pm (thats when UPS comes to my place) if I got a good one or not...

I got my new N7 today, and so far everything seems perfect. The speaker sounds good (well as good as the speaker can sound). There is no screen lift , and I see no dead pixels or anything bad with the screen.
I returned my old one to the Staples location about 3 miles away, and this was their first return (and I bought it online). They said they got 1000 16gig ones and 1500 8gig ones, and they had one 8gig left.
Now time to unlock, root, and TiBu backup...

I'm going to call them when they open and PRAY that they have at least one in stock so that I can swap it out. I would hate to have to return it and then wait for it to go back in stock! Worst part is that I just put on the full body protector from XtremeGuard!
They shipped my replacement yesterday, about 12h after accepting my RMA link. I really hope the replacement is better than the one I have.

I was really impressed with Staples easy return/exchange policy. As good as Target/Walmart/Amazon. Its nice not to have to wait for hours on the phone for support.. I hope Google uses this as a learning experience and ups their support times. BTW, I bought 3 N7's (one for me, my gf, and my mother and only mine had any issues, before the exchange that it...).

I've had my nexus for about a month now.
The speakers were fine until today, the just started a cracking sound on certain sounds.
It's really annoying and it only happens when the volume is higher then 50%.
With headphones the sound is just normal.
Is there something I can do about it? I'm not really a fan of sending my nexus back to Asus.
I had my left speaker crackling from day one. I opened the back cover and took off the net that covered the speaker. That solved my problem. You may also try that.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
Took the backcover of and discovered it was my right speaker, removing the net had no effect.
Are the speakers sold apart? And are they hard to replace?
Go back to stock using Wug's toolkit. My sound was broken and not playing, I thought it was a hardware problem but I flashed back to stock. I did that and It worked. It wouldn't hurt to try it. Make sure you backup your apps using "My Backup" or "Titanium backup (root)"

I had the same problem and researched it. I even unrooted and went back to stock thinking it may have been a software problem. But to no avail. It turns out to have been a blown speaker. I couldn't locate a replacement for it. Luckily I purchased it a Staples and was able to exchange it.

Same here right speaker. I figured out that mine has a tendency to "pop" out or something and if I just push it back in I hear a click and no more crackling.
I finally worked out a solution using tape under the mesh to keep the speaker from popping out like this again and no more crackling so far.

My Nexus was crackling and the headphone volume was really low and distant while running AOKP on it. Back to stock now and unrooted and sound is great.
Maybe a problem with the binaries? I'm gonna reroot tonight and do some testing with sound.

Well if it really is perfect otherwise it might be worth it to just tape something over the broken speaker to muffle it or disconnect that speaker it until someone starts selling the speaker assembly.
Temporarily having mono sound won't be the worst thing in the world. Do you really need stereo audio? Especially when the two speakers are right next to each other on the same side lol?
That's personally what I would do in your shoes. Someone will eventually start selling N7 parts on ebay or wherever. Heh I may have to if my speaker blows out again and I can't just "pop" it back in like last time.

I can wait it out, but I can also sent it back tot Asus while it's still under warrenty.
Sending my nexus back looks like a safer choice.

When I went to Carphone Warehouse to see a Nexus in person I WISH I listened to the guy.
He said LG are know for poor build quality - they get a lot of complaints and returns. He liked the Nexus but didn't think it will be smooth going being a LG phone and said I should wait....
He was right...
My nexus has loose buttons (power button has become loose with use), The side creaks/snaps as if something wasn't put together correctly.
The Sound quality from the mics on videos IS APPALLING !
Rear speaker is tinny, wosre than any phone I have heard TBH.
The camera could be better
The Battery is crap (if you use the features you are supposed to use like Google Now, Location etc)
The WiFi reception pickup is worse than any device I have owned.
The ear-peace has processor noise on it- especially bad when you take a call.
I really don't know what to make of the phone. It has its advantages too but in fairness its just not the golden ticket it was made out to be.
My FFC has dust in it....so many hardware issues.
What are the screen issues? I'm planning on buying this since I don't live in US i would ship it in my country but it looks like I need a warranty for this device maybe a used galaxy s3 better to buy then?

My £30 2 year old Xbox 360 controller doesnt squeak. Its a brand new £400 device, not used or refurb, there should be no build quality issues. And try using most used buttons on the device when wvery single time you can hear and feel it being not right. Previous device didnt have it so why should I accept that one?
Look at iPhone or Lumia, from build quality view these are perfect devices, and fault ratio is a lot lower than e.g Nexus4.
I had GNexus (3 of them) one had screen issues, second was clicking like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxGhlnRCneY

Screen freeze when trying to unlock.
For example: Screen is off, wants to unlock phone, turn screen on with power button, screen is on, but doesnt respond to any touch (cant swipe to unlock).
Turn screen off, then turn it back on, now touch is not frozen and unlock is possible.
What batch is it from?
What batch does your current nexus 4 is from? I heard there is some kind of batch the first released ones and the second one is after the sold out?

This will propably software issue. ashirviskas overtook me.
I have an issue with a rattling sound coming from the top of the device, it sounds like something is loose or disconnected on the inside. Maybe the headphone jack? Or the earpiece speaker? I wasn't looking for anything wrong with the device, its just that I noticed it when I put my phone down on the table. It sounded broke in some way. I kinda looked at it funny and said to myself, "That isn't right?". So I picked it up and tapped on the phone (lightly) and definatly noticed there is something loose on the inside. Is this a reason for a return. I have had phone for 10 days and this my first time noticing this. I have not dropped, put down hard or, anything of that manner to the phone.
For those that came in here that haven't purchased a N4 yet, let me tell you there are many people, like myself and my wife, who received phones without any of the issues listed above.
People with issues are louder than those of us without, so while it may look like the N4 is riddled with issues...it is not as bad as it sounds in this thread.
We both have 16Gb versions, one ordered in the first batch, and one in the 2nd.
- Neither screen has yellowing of any sorts, even after playing games or watching movies for a period of time.
- Neither has creaks, squeaks, or rattles
- Neither has soft or loose buttons
- Neither has poor speakers (back or ear)
- Neither has had freezing issues on the OS or apps
- Neither has had the screen flicker
- Neither gets abnormally hot during use
- USB and 3.5mm headphone connectors are solid
- Battery lasts all day with typical use (for instance, yesterday while waiting for the Hobbit to start, I was streaming music and browsing the web for just over an hour. During that time the battery dropped 8%. To me, that's pretty damn good) (and yes, I have Google Now turned on, with the unwanted services turned off)
all that said...I'd expect my experience is pretty normal, where as those posing issues were the unlucky ones. Don't let these reviews scare you out of buying a really great device.
So does the 16 gb is enought to you? Do you think it is enough if I plan on installing like only 3 Graphic intense games then 2 to 3 HD movie length videos, productivity apps like a reader for ms word,powerpoint, camera apps, video player and such (but i think those apps does not consume much space?) then a lot of picture but would occasionally (like every 3 months) store them on PC?
my back speaker pops something serious at random times when all the way up but dear god this screen is beautiful

Dear Community,
I've recently noticed that my S4 is draining more power than usual. After pressing the display of the device tightly against my ear, I've noticed something very curious - while the display is turned on the device seems to be making ever so slight and very faint noises. It sounds like the flow of electric current or the workings of an HDD but very silent.
I wonder if the excessive power expenditure is connected to this noise I am hearing. This is why I want to know if your devices also make a very dim sound when operating.
To find out I would like to ask you to check your device for this noise by following these steps:
1. Press the display of your S4 tightly against your ear
2. Close the other ear with your index finger
3. Turn on the device while holding it against your ear and listen for a very faint and varying sound of electrical current/interference
Questions:
1. What noise are your hearing?
2. Is the noise also present while the display is turned off (my phone still makes a very slight beeping sound)
3. Have you noticed this noise before?
I would be happy if you confirmed that your device also makes this sound when operating.
Best,
Thomas from Germany
Anyone?
I just tried it and no strange sounds emitting from my i9505.
I suspect that everyone can hear this noise but if thats not the case I need to send mine in for repair.
Can someone else also try ?
Thanks

Mate ,
Maybe you have a very good hearing and that is why you can hear it and others do not ....how long a warranty you still have left?
If you do not have a excessive overheating , lags, reboots , hangs , screen quality issues..... i would not worry to much about it.
Try with 2 or 3 friends and check if they can hear the buzzing noise in your phone ?
Good idea. I do have performance issues that are not related to the rom.

I'm usually not to obsessed about these things but I noticed that I've been getting some lags that I can't explain and I was looking for a reason. My s4 sometimes gets very hot for no apparent reason so this might explain it. Maybe there is a hardware fault causing this noise, a broken transistor or something? It's interesting how some phones make this noise and others don't. Either way it's not optimal I guess

I know its kinda old thread, but i have picked up the same humming/buzzing noise when i put my phone display tightly on my ear in a very quiet room at 3am last night...it sounds like a very faint coil whine that some power supplies/GPU's produce....the sound is ever so slightly faint, but when i move the home screens the sound changes little bit lower or higher...you can hear it from the back cover too, near the camera, but there is no noise at the lower part, so i guess the noise is coming from the cpu/motherboard chip...
i only have the device like 4 months and it works perfectly so far, everything stock....was wondering Exxi if you exchanged your device or not, since i dont think i can persuade the carrier-seller for exchange, since everything works just fine....
