[Q] Nexus 10 Microphone not working on Google Plus

Hi,
I just purchased a Nexus 10 and for some reason it cannot do hangouts. The audio just cuts out regularly and the volume changes drastically. In my opinion it is almost as if it is filtering out my own voice. I can hear and see just fine it is really just a problem with people hearing me.
I thought my first Nexus 10 was defective so I returned it for a new one but I am having the exact same behavior. I also downloaded a recording app from the app store and it picks up my voice just fine. It seems to be related to google hangouts. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior. ANy way to get around it? I am thinking that I will return the Nexus 10 if I cannot get hangouts to work.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I get mine in the mail from Google tomorrow...ill try it out. Thatd be a big deal for me...I communicate with work people almost exclusively through Google plus..probably just a bug though

Try putting in some headphones with a microphone and see if that works. If it doesn't then it might just be a s/w bug that needs to be fixed. I'm sure Google will fix this soon anyways, considering it is a Nexus device so it should work very well with all of their apps.

I have the same issue...

Craig, I bought my about 10 days ago from Google and I have exactly the same issue. Mic works fine with other apps but not Talk or Google Hangout. Called tech support and all they wanted me to do was reset the tablet. Not very helpful at all...

Just a heads up that I received one for Christmas and had the same problem with Google. Skype (ew) and Tango were perfect though. Even the sound coming out to me was better. :/

Same issue here. Very frustrating.... Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

I've got a microphone issue with the nexus 10 as well in that it sounds very muffled and bad when using skype. It is pretty much useless for skype. Nothing is blocking the microphone though.
My old samsung tab 10.1 sound quality is perfect. So it is disappointing that the nexus 10 mic quality is so poor. I first thought to send it back under warranty but based on the complaints I come across sofar it appears to be a design or construction flaw in the Nexus 10. Apart from that it is a great tablet (got it 5 days).
Rens

Search xda for the thread where this was being discussed. The nexus 10 has two microphones and it seems that software uses the back microphone when it should be using the front one... There is more information in that thread.

This is just superbad. Any news here? Bought two nexus 10 devices for familymembers, telling them that the nexus stuff should provide a perfect video call experience for the money.
This is just sad. Do I really have to switch to a headset or to my smartphone?

I would take them back and get nexus 7's. Google dropped the ball with support on the nexus 10. Maybe itssamsungs fault. Who knows.
I never had the issue on my nexus 10 but my gfs grandma did so I can't test to see if its still happening. Make sure everything's up to date but that's obvious

I have tried multiple times to get the PTV 3000 (2.2.9) to work with my Nexus 4 running on 4.2.2.
I have the same problem mentioned by many. Phone finds the adapter, phone tries to connect and in the end nothing happens.
I just spent 1 hour 56 min 16 sec on the phone with NetGear tech support (most of it on hold). After 1 hour and 40 min I was able to speak to a level 2 supervisor named Arnold. He informed me that the PTV 3000 would not work the Nexus 4 running 4.2.2 and that I would have to downgrade my phone to 4.2.1 ( a snowballs chance in hell that was going to happen). After more discussion he "suggested that I try older firmware for the PTV 3000 or wait for a new release. I ask if he could supply me with the 2.2.2 firmware that I've read works with Android 4.2.2. He told me that the only firmware he could provide me was posted on their web site. Problem is the lowest number firmware in the site is 2.6.X.
Is anyone willing to share PTV 3000 firmware 2.2.2?

Thanks, Downloading now. Just need to get the HDTV back from the shop to test it.

Hate to revive an old thread, but it perfectly matches my criteria here.
I'm on CM11 (4.4.2), and I just got a new PTV3000, and I can't get it to connect. The firmware is the latest, and the phone sees the device. It just fails every time I try to connect.
Anyone else on CM11-mako, and having any connectivity issues?

Internet Problems Nexus 4.

The March 8, 2013, I bought in google play, 2 mobile devices Nexus 4. I bought them because it was a model powered by google and I thought it was going relatively well.
I've been very disappointed with this phone. The whatsapp, emails, lines, gtalk, etc. have a latency impressive. Some whatsapp slow to go over 20 minutes! When you send line messages, get a shipping error and you have to give forward constantly. I tested and in 4 different operators: Amena, Orange, Movistar and Telstra, and none works well. Say it clear, that the APN is configured properly (I assure you). In fact, this same setup I've tried the other 4 terminals, HTC Wildfire, Galaxy Ace, Iphone 4 and Galaxy s2, and all works correctly. In contrast, in the Nexus 4 is grief. I do not know what to do, I can not contact Google to return the phone and give me a solution either.
Does anyone in this respectable forum knows how solve this serious problem with the nexus 4? Are there any hidden settings to solve this internet problem?
I would do very happy if guys could give me a solution to this problem because the phone I liked a lot, but if I can not find any solution, I will have to get rid of it.

id say that you are having app issues, not nexus 4 issues. i dont use whatsapp, i use gmail for emails, and gtalk all work great on my end. try factory resetting your devices.

Tough luck. Now, sell it to someone who will flash CM on it and appreciate it's glory.

Must be your location.. No lag issues here on any of the apps you have stated..

Impossible
Since I did one factory reset on both phones and installed cm10 one of the devices, but the problem persists. As I said in the previous thread, I've tried with several telephone companies with APN configured correctly. On other phones like the galaxy ace or htc wildfire running, but in the nexus 4 posts slow to arrive between 10 and 20 minutes.
I think I'll have to buy another phone.
Someone offered me a good deal for both phones?
They were bought in Google Play the March 8, 2013.
In my opinion LG Nexus 4 malfunctioned.

Data sending delays
Bug report here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=52260
You can get a small improvement by installing a custom kernel (Harsh works for me). I almost want to tell you to return your phone and make sure Google knows about the problem. Once people start returning their phones, maybe Google will look into fixing this. :crying:

Return the phones
How I can I contact google to return the 2 phones?

After the 4.2.2 update my internet speed was lower too, try flashing a full 4.2.2 factory image in fastboot, that solved it for me.

Can you give me a tutorial?
Are you sure? Could you tell me how I can do it? Where I can download the official image of android 4.2.2 for nexus 4? Would I would lose the warranty?
Thank you.

Here is the factory image for the nexus 4: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjdq39
I think you can flash it without rooting or unlocking your bootloader, or you can simply unlock then flash then lock your bootloader again. There are some instructions here. You can try it without unlocking your bootloader first, and if that fails, unlock it temporarily. Flashing like this WILL DEFINITELY wipe your data, including /sdcard, so backup to computer.

This is definitely a software or radio problem, because it wasn't an issue in the earlier versions of Android. Furthermore, installing a custom kernel like Harsh mitigates the problem. I hope the next version of Android will fix this, but I'm worried the Google engineers don't even know about it. I think it's provider-related, and this problem may not exist in the US.

That would be sad, but you gotta do what you gotta do. The next version of Android is expected to be released in about 3 weeks. You could return the phone and buy it again when you know this issue is fixed. Or you could wait. (But if you wait too long, do you lose your right to return the phone? It is defective, so in your country you probably have pretty strong rights in this area.)

Are you absolutely sure that:
1. You had a problem where outgoing data was delayed by up to a minute (in all applications, not just WhatsApp)?
2. You did not change service providers or plan or SIM card?
3. The wipe solved your problem and messages are now sent immediately?
I'd like to try this if it helps, but it's a huge effort. Thanks!

3. I will do it this night. I will flash de original image from google. There is the occam version. Are I ok?

[Q] Delayed Notifications in Nexus 4 - Really a 4.2.2 problem?

First of all, I'm sorry because I know this is a recurrent topic, but I have my Nexus 4 for less than a week and the only issue (a big one) is these delayed notifications.
I've asked in more than a place about it and everyone say it is a 4.2.2 problem.
My question is why this does not happen in my Galaxy S3 with Cyanogen 10.1 (ie, android 4.2.2)? Any ideas?
I'm also currently using Cyanogen 10.1 in my Nexus 4, but problem persists. I got it while using stock too.
PS: I have installed Push Notification Fixer and set interval to 5 minutes. Delay remains.

This is a known problem for the nexus 4.
My old galaxy s is also running 4.2.2 and does not have this problem.
The problem is at Googles side.
However, you could try to flash a kernel with the wifi notification fix.

I personally have not tried it yet.

Well, the S3 will have different WiFi drivers, for a start.

It's been said the the Fitbit app has been hardcoded to work only with certain devices. I think some users have even tried to edit the build.prop to spoof another phone and it didn't work. I think you'll have to wait for Fitbit to update their app. Maybe you should contact them and push for Nexus 4 support. I'm sure a lot of Flex owners are doing the same!

Sorry about posting to an old thread.
Has anyone had any luck with getting it working now? Apparently the app has been updated and it does work, it's just 'unsupported' (meaning they won't offer support if you have problems).

I know it's not terribly helpful for the Nexus 4 (and this is the Nexus 4 forum, but I digress) but it's working quite well on the Galaxy S4 GE now. Prior to the app update, there was no way to communicate between the phone and the flex. Now, it's working just as well as the iPhone app.
Good luck!

XDA Fitbit App
One xda dev (see link) updated the latest version of the Fitbit app (1.8.1 as of the time of this writing) to skip the device check and sync anyways. Worked great on my T-Mobile Galaxy S3 running LiquidSmooth (CM 10.2) and is reported as working on devices:
- Google Nexus 4
- Google Nexus 7
- Galaxy Nexus (some firmwares require additional BTLE drivers)
- LG G2
- HTC One
- Samsung Note 3
- Samsung Galaxy S3, S4 (custom ROMs)
I can finally set the silent alarm without having to go to my PC! Haven't seen any issues so far, but it appears that you'll want to disable background syncing (I'm guessing it drains your battery more than usual if you leave that enabled?)

Help!
I got a LG G2 D-802 International (From Denmark), with CM 10.2 latest nightly, and i am unable to get this to work.
1. If i go to Bluetooth i can see my Flex device, but it cant connect.
2. When i open the Fitbit app i get the sync option, and it seems like its trying, however it never establishes a connect.
3. I have reset my Fitbit Flex several times.
Can anyone help me, or hint towards a solution?
