My charger definitely makes noise... It's usually not a problem and caused by some internal components

My galaxy nexus charger had this same type of issue. Although it would only emit a noise when the phone wasn't hooked up to it. Kinda reminded me of coil whine on certain video cards.

My charger makes the noise too, usually about 1h of use.. Also the charger from my previous lg phone (Optimus 2x) used to make the same noise too. My wife's s2 charger does not make any sound at all..

So I suppose its the way it is and its not a sign of faulty charger is it?

did anyone request a replacement charger from Google or is everyone just accepting it for what it is?
p.s. i found 3 threads for this issue...

I have this issue to. It's annoying when I wake up in the night and can hear it.

Mine is super annoying. I wouldn't be able to sleep with it charging beside me.

same here, noisy when the Nexus 4 isn't plugged.. when I plug it - the noise stops..
I care less about the noise, but can it be dangerous for the phone?

My Chager also make a noice
My Nexus 4 Charger also make noise
actually it buzz like a bee
But just when the cellphone isn't conect to it while conected to the electicity
when I plug my cellphone to it the noice stops!

May be the Nexus 4 charger is mice powered.

Headphone problem

Is it just me or is there an issue with many headphones not fitting the nexus 4?
Can't get my sound magics to fit or an audio out cable to link but to my Bose airplay.
They don't seem to be able to push right in and these are just standard 3.5 plugs
Anyone else had this ?

I had to send my first n4 back because it wouldn't hold a 3.5mm audio jack. The plug would just pop out. Ended up waiting a month to get my new n4.

Buzzing Noise When Using Headphones

I've heard a lot about a buzzing noise coming from the earpiece, but whenever i plug in my headphones it makes a really annoying buzzing noise. I'm running AOKP Build 1 with Franco #28 kernel and the beats audio mod. I'm also using original Apple earphones. Any thoughts on how to fix this without flashing AOKP from scratch again? Thanks!

I recall someone else saying Bluetooth being on can cause problems. If it's on try turning it off.
Otherwise I don't know, mines OK with skull candies.

Bluetooth is off :/

Can you tell me if your streaming, or playing music directly.

Same here ...... It has something to do with the radio modem as when I was on 4.2.2 with older boot loader this did not happen but after I switched to the newer radio modem the buzzing started and man its annoying! Anyone's got any solution?

I had an app that trigged the proximity sensor. Uninstalled the app and the noise was gone.

I have the same problem, but I didn't install the app you all had mentioned, the sound only happened when the music app is on (poweramp and play music)... don't know how to fix that...

Is it like a actual buzzzzzzzz sound or a rapid click click click sound? If it's actually a click noise, it is the proximity sensor, and you have some other app constantly running it. If it's a buzz, are you running a custom kernel? Do you usually crank up the volume? Have you messed with headset gain?

I have the same problem. not rooted
and its not buzzing.its more like rapid clicking, but I don't think I have any apps that use the proximity sensor. idk what to do fam

Try a different kernel

What the f has the kernel to do with this buzzing noise? This is one of the stupidest suggestions I read in my entire life.
The noise is hardware related. You can't fix it with software.
Guys, you have to accept that the Nexus 4 ist a cheap built smartphone with a LOT of problems, and I am not talking about the bad camera or the bad display in general.
I am talking about the huge and small bugs, for example.:
- noise in earspeaker
- buzzing noise with headphones
- heat-problems (YES, the N4 actually HAS heat-problems)
- Sleep of Death (LED and sound is working, but screen is black -> restart with Power+Volume)
- not-responsive screen when unlocking/not able to answer a call because of this
- dark line on the left side of the screen (especially on grey backgrounds)
- (maybe I am the only one with this problem, but this happens very often) when I am trying to unlock the ring, the status-bar slides down
- WiFi and GPS problems
- and more
Sure, the N4 was really cheap in its price and the problems testify that this phone is cheap.
The parts they used are cheap (e.g. DA-converters, display (don't tell me that it is possible to adjust the screen colors), speakers, cameras, microphone etc.). Maybe also the engineers who built the N4 were cheap.
Before I bought the N4 I had a Nexus S. It was WAY better than the N4 in many points.
I always recommended the Nexus line to my family and friends. But after using the N4 for long enough I will never recommend it again.
It's a piece of crap with a well-meant OS and causes headaches.

Can hear distortion

I can hear distortion while using headphones on my g2 from T-Mobile, anyone having the same problem?
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

No, I got a new set of headphones for it a few days ago and I use it in the car hooked up thru auxillary input and sounds perfect both ways.

Was hearing it while charging, can anyone test for me. Thanks

I was charging and playing music on my way to Vegas and back last week and had no issues. Maybe it is just your headphones and a bad impedance match up to the audio out.

Thanks, I'll try again with different headphones, was using my Samsung's.

I was also listening with the volume maxed out, which should be the place where distortion is heard most if there is any. Do you hear the distortion problem at max volume only or anywhere on the volume scale?

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?

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.

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

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?
