Is anyone having this problem?

When I put someone on speaker it sounds very soft. The speaker button is activated but the sound is going through the phone not through the actual speaker. I have to hang up with the person and call them back just to get the speaker to work.

I might have a defective speaker. What should I do now since I'm rooted and want to take this phone to my local sprint store for repair? I have soo many apps installed on my phone.

I installed blazers 1.4 Rom and everything works like a charm including the speaker. I guess it was an app that was causing my problem.

on stock rooted with zero problems
Odin back to stock and return it. If they say anything tell them it wasn't booting and Samsung tried to troubleshoot you and had you restore and reset a bunch. I don't they'll even care or ask.

[Q] Setting to hear notifications while on a call?

Apologies for this simple question, as I have tried searching everywhere.. While on a call, I don't hear when texts come in using the stock messaging app and also Whatsapp.. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

This is a good question as my girlfriend just yelled at me beside I didn't answer or call her back. Didn't hear the call or text while I was on the phone.

Good question.....
Anyone? This is my first Nexus device, so I honestly have no idea..

Why would they put that in the first place? It would interrupt the call, If you want you could just check your notifications afterwards.

Well, every smartphone I've previously used (including the att Galaxy S2) would sound off a notification and that way it was easy to check if the message was important and place the phone on speaker while responding.. Our phones can multitask for a reason..
But it's always been available as an option on my previous phones that could easily be disabled for those who prefer no interruptions.

there is call waiting. just go to the dialer and hit setting on the bottom right and then scroll down to additional settings. as for text im not sure.

No sound through speakers/only notifications

I have an issue with my nexus 4 where the only audio that comes out through the speakers are notifications/alarm. All audio works just fine when headphones are plugged in.....any suggestions? Work fine until a couple minutes ago.
Headphones-All sounds work.
No Headphones- only notifications and Alarm work.

Dumb suggestion, but clear out all recent apps. I had an issue like yours (but no sound through head phones either) and I found that the stupid chive app was goofing up the sound output. When I clear that app out of recents, I got my sound back. Not saying that's your issue, but worth a try.

Try it. Got soundabout app from app store and set it to speaker and it worked fine. So I'm assuming phone is stuck in headphone mode.

Weird speaker problem

Hello guys I have a quick question.. I have a problem with my speakers.. Phone and headphone jack... when I plug in my headphones the music starts and the beat sounds nice and the but I can't hear the voice.. It's always faded but the beat sounds fine.. Also the onboard speaker does the same but not as nearly as severe but a reboot fixes the onboard speaker and goes back to normal.. Is my headphone jack done for? Again the beat sounds fine but voice is non existent.. Is weird. Thanks in advance.

Do you an app that adjusts the sound? like an equalizer app or sound app? When i had a galaxy s3 if i had it in rock mode or anything other than stock the sound was not as clear as in stock mode.
A similar thing happened with my iPod Touch. It turned out to be the headphones. Maybe try some new ones? I am not sure of the onboard speaker problem however.

Yeah I tried my computer speakers and sound works but still sounded a bit funny.. Not enough to notice though.. I'll check a different pair of headphones when I can.. And yeah I did flash one of those sound mods from the nexus 4 apps section but I uninstalled it..

Ya, so just try different headphones and go to default sound. Hopefully itll be good

Nobody Can Hear Me

T Mobile Rooted. Did trigger Knox. I removed every suspected spyware app. Now nobody can hear me when I call out and I sound a thousand miles away when someone tries to call me.
I hoped it was dust in the mic hole, not.
Please help

Check if "Noise reduction" is turned on in Phone Settings
Noise reduction was off.

Try to use call recording to find out its a mice problem or modem.
Solved: I had installed xposed framework and an app to allow me to record calls. When I disabled that the phone started behaving normally. Whew.
