I noticed for the past couple of days that the sound is louder from the left speaker than the right. Since I watch a lot of videos, it is starting to get really annoying to the point I'd rather wear headphones. Anyone else seeing this issue? Is there a fix?

Hi All,
When i take video with my omnia 7, it tapes without any sound. Has anyone come across this problem.
Thanks
I've come across this problem myself. I was at Soundwave back in February and half my videos had no sound, but some DID. I couldn't explain it. So I tried to experiment with it at home and found that the videos had audio each time. Thinking it was just some sort of weird one off thing, I went and used to phone to record a video at Future Music. Again, some of the videos had audio, some didn't.
I thought maybe the problem was that the audio at the concert was too loud and the noise cancellation mic was thinking EVERYTHING was noise, so it was cancelling everything, so I tried experimenting with the video for a couple of days after that. Again, some had audio, but some didn't this time, even when the volume levels of the ambient noise was very quiet.
So, after looking into it some more, I read one theory that it has something to do with a bug in how the Omnia 7 disables the speaker when something is plugged in (possibly into the head phone jack? I don't remember). I haven't really been able to find confirmation of this, but I'm hoping that after updating the phone, the problem has gone away.
I'll come back and post my experience when I know for sure
Thanks Deemar,
I have exact same problem, however I have only ever had one recording that actually recorded sound as well.
All the others have no sound
anyone????
same problem too :/ but i noticed the mic stopped working in other apps too such as shazam - it seems to do this from time to time randomly! very weird and annoying! havent noticed since nodo thought?
I haven't had the opportunity to experiment much since NoDo. But the videos I HAVE recorded since then (a grand total of two) have had audio. Knock wood, the problem might be solved...
Hi - just wondering if anyone else noticed some background noise / distortion when using headphones on the tab 7.7.
Happens when playing any sound and continues for 2-3 seconds after it stops. Tested with the stock buds and some replacement buds I picked up a few days ago. With my over the ear headphones I can't hear it though. Easiest way to test is just by playing a movie and pausing it.... there is a hissing noise for a few seconds afterwards.
Maybe related: even with headphones plugged in, notification sounds come out of the speakers - this is my first Android device so I'm not sure if that's normal or not.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it might be hardware related. Thanks!

Yeah I get that too. Doesn't really bother me though. I mean, it's not like I can still hear it while playing music or anything...
Mine's pretty noticable, even when playing music/videos. Weird that it's totally quiet with my over-the-ear headphones

Personally, I only really notice it if there's a trailing silence from music or videos, but while there's actually sound, I can't detect it.
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with the phone's speaker. When listening to music or on loudspeaker, my speaker crackles horribly. I just noticed his problem within the past month. Can someone point me to where I can buy a replacement part for this speaker so that I can replace it. To clarify, at first, I noticed the speaker crackling at high volume, but on some videos and songs, I get crackling at even medium volume.

I don't have that problem, but I have seen it in many devices, not just this one. It is possible to blow out the speaker by simply driving it too hard. It may be something you could replace, but I can't imagine it would be extremely simple to do. A rule of life for electronics is that they shouldn't be operated at 11 unless you are a member of Spinal Tap.
Just noticed this, if the screen is on there is static noise coming from the earpice speaker, its not that loud though.
Same if the screen is off but its alot more quiet.
Anyone else experiencing this?
EDIT: So I googled a bit more, and looks like alot of N4 suffer from this problem
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39936
its not normal but its very common in the nexus4, it was one of the criticism when it was released, I can still hear mine after 1year, I haven't noticed it till you brought it back up.
When I bought the device 2,5 months ago I had no issues at all, but a few weeks ago I started noticing a lot of white noise when listening to music through the headphone jack on my Note 4, especially the right headphone. I have the feeling the issue started when I updated to NK4, but I'm not sure, so I don't want to downgrade just yet, since I have a lot of app data and it's quite a hassle to make a back up.
I was wondering if anyone else experiences this issue. I know it's present on some Nexus 5 and LG G3 devices as well. I have taken it to the Samsung store and they tried with their headphones as well and the issue persists. It gets even worse when I'm in the car using an aux cable to my car radio. Every time I accelerate or decelerate I hear a howling noise. Also when I'm just using the phone, not listening to any audio at all, all system sounds and notification sounds turned off, I often hear a clicking sound. At first I thought the back cover was a bit loose and made this sound, but it's actually coming from the speaker.
The issue is present in several apps: Youtube, TuneIn, MP3 Player and Google Play Music.
Is there anyone else who experiences such issues, because I'd rather not bring my phone in for repairs, as here in Holland that might take 2 to 6 weeks? And does anyone know if it is a software or a hardware issue, if anyone has found that downgrading might be a fix, I'd be happy to try that.
