[Q] Weird Sound Issue - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone began having this weird sound issue. I can play music through the headphone jack, but not the speaker. However alerts come through the speaker. Also, my ear piece and microphone stopped working. However when I turn on the speaker I can hear the other party clearly they just can't hear me well. I have to yell into my phone.
Anyone else having these issues? I've already flashed a new rom and am entirely updated.

Have you tried hard reset? I think it's hold the power button down for 30 seconds

No sound what-so-ever? What the heck?

Yesterday I installed Mortplayer onto my phone (8125), and everything was dandy. Loving the big buttons. However, today I tried to call someone; the call went though ok, and connected fine, except I couldn't hear anything they were saying. Then I realized that my phone wasn't making any noise, not even that "back" noise you hear when you hit the red phone key. So I check the volume levels, and even go as far as uninstalling Mortplayer, but still I have no sound. Any ideas?
(And yes, I can talk/hear with a headset, but that's no fun)
Damn it, Im having the exact same problem. Happened yesterday. I did not drop my phone or anything. I didn't even install any new software. Still trying to figure it out...
Make sure it doesn't think you've got a wired headset connected for some reason. Try blow jobbing the headset connector port.
Tried backup + hardreset to see if it's the software screwing up?

I had this problem
Try plugging your headphones in and if you can hear sound its the headphone jack.
If you can hear sound through the headphones take out the headphones then plug them in again then take them out and in and out until the sound comes out the speakers.
Thats how i fixed it anyway

Loudspeaker microphone problem

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with the internal microphone when trying to use the phone handsfree without a headset. Basically if I turn the phone onto loudspeaker, even if I hold the phone right up to my mouth people have a problem hearing what i'm saying. The microphone works fine if i don't have the loudspeaker on, even when i'm holding it a good few inches from my face but as soon as i turn loudspeaker on, the microphone seems to stop working very well.
Is there anyway of correcting this problem as it seems more software related than hardware...

can't hear the ring tone , microphone and speakerphone doesn't work

Hi there,
I am having some issue with my O2 Atom Exec external speaker.
When the phone rings:
- I can't hear the ring tone (phone and pda volume settings turned up to high)
When I pick up:
- microphone does not work
- phone speaker does not work
Actually microphone seems to no longer work same with external speaker. I try to play music and no sound comes out externally. When I use the combined stereo headphones and microphone, these work fine. I have tried a hard reset and looking into the Windows registry for some obscure volume settings but this did not resolve the problem.
Anyone else experiencing a similar issue? Please help,
Hi,
You have a problem with the headphone socket. what I would suggest is play a file in media player and put the headphone plug in halfway and gently move it around left to right. You will know when it's fixed because the sound will start coming out of the speakers. This is a known fault that has been around a long time.
Cheers.

No Sound On Ear Speaker.

I have had this problem for about a week now. i get no sound on the ear speaker during call but if i put the phone on speaker phone it works fine. is there anyone else out there with a problem like this? is it a hardware problem? I searched the forum but didnt find anything specific to the ear speaker.
Please Help Me.
I have had this happen before on many different devices after having the headphones plugged in. Sometimes it seems the sensor sticks.
I have always fixed thiis by plugging in and unplugging the headset a number of times, I always do this with a bit of a heavy hand and it seems to work.

Headset speaker making popping noise on actions

Hi all, wondering if anyone else has this problem. At the outset, I want to note this is NOT the headset crackle problem (where you can hold phone up to ear and hear noises).
When I perform an action, such as pressing the back button on Chrome or clicking a link or hitting the icon to an app, there's a chance that my headset speakers will make a popping noise. This is weird for a few reasons. One, my phone is on vibrate or silent, so it's not the standard "noise-on-button-press". Second, it's coming from my headset speakers, not the standard speakers.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a solution? It's happened to two out of the three phones I've used, and I don't know if it's worth it to do another replacement.

My first n4 had that same issue so I called Google play and they issued a RMA. It was just really annoying. And that same one had the noises in the ear piece. My second one doesn't seem to have the popping noise, but does have some noise in ear piece sometimes.
