Hi,
I recently bought the Nexus 4 and have several weird issues.
First of all, when I use my earphones, I get a weird buzzing that is very regular (I suppose its some sort of software issue). This only happens when I use Viber, Tango, or Line. Happens with different earphones, but not bluetooth headset or without any headset.
Second issue: When I call someone with Viber, it just keeps ringing for me although the other person picked up already.
I hope you guys can help, thanks!
BTW: Happened on stock, thats why I just flashed a Rom (paranoid) but it still happens.
Thanks!
Personally I do not get weird noises for Viber, tango or Line. I only get them through normal calls. I'd get a random high pitched "bark" noise and it hurts my ear like a biatch.
I think you have a hardware problem. RMA it.
That's a problem with Viber. I've had that issue across a few devices.

Thanks for the response! If I return it, how long until I have a new device? It is the only phone that I have here... Is it also possible to turn it in in ~3 months and say that the problem has been there since the beginning? I would be back home and have a backup phone by then.

If you purchased it from the play store, Google will send you one and expect you to ship the one you have back. What kind of sucks is that before they ship you a new one, they charge you for another then once they receive your returned one they reverse the charge. Not a big deal if you've got the cash/credit, but if you don't, it could be a problem.

wtf?
so... not only is your ringtone playing, but the speaker is also broadcasting your wife whistling? this not only seems improbable, but damn near impossible.
what ROM are you running?
EDIT: and what radio version are you running (listed beside the "R" when you first boot your phone)
Hahaha whoa, imagine if you didnt want to talk with her. Sorry but ya what Craigor said, and what company are you with?
That's happened on one occasion for me. I could hear the other person talking to someone else, then I answered.
The only problem in my case was that it signaled something was very unhappy in the phone. Programs took ages to launch and the data connection died. Had to hard reset the phone to get back to normal. No more voices during rings though.
ya, the tone plays and i can hear whoever is calling.(if theyre talking, or making any noise)
the radio is 3.42.30
and its nfsfan's v14 6.5 rom if that matters.
my company is verizon.
also, vibrate never works while in vibrate mode for texts, calls, or anything.
also if i have to reflash again, can i loose my akey again?
thanks

Man, that's so weird.
I dunno about losing your akey. You shouldn't have to reflash, I would just do a PIMBackup (included in NFSFAN's ROM) to backup your contacts/texts/etc and do a hard reset. If that fails, then maybe reflash, or ask NFSFAN about it.
Anyone have any other ideas?
ya, i may have to, but last time i restored a back-up, the last 5 texts i sent to anyone all got resent at 2am. people were not pleased!
but that was restoring from a backup on my old 6700, so maybe it won't happen.
thanks
Dont worry the same thing happens to me, I can hear some people talk while the phone is ringing......crazy huh

Well i can tell you off the bat that the only radio that has worked for me without any problems is the stock verizon 3.37.78. Try flashing to that, as far as getting a new akey you might have to, but its not that difficult. i just call verizon, give them my info, tell them i cant make calls, they fix it. And your Rom is fine, i'm actually using NFSFAN's v14 rom myself. And for the PIM Backup, my advice is to not backup your texts, i've heard people have had problems with that in 6.5, i only back up my call logs, contacts, and appointments...

This has happened to me a few times both with my Touch and also when I had my Titan. I determined that it was not ROM specific or radio specific. I have cricket so I don't think it's carrier specific. My only thoughts are a bluetooth issue, I use a LG bluetooth and that is the only time it happens to me.
when i was running the stock sprint rom mine would do it also. when i answerd the phone i would make a comment about what they were talking about. it freaked a few people out an they thought i was watching them. i thought it was kinda funny
This happens to me on my Sprint Touch routinely. It happened when my Touch was new out of the box and is happening with my 3 month old replacement. I've gotten used to it.
Happens to me all the time... kind of cool.
Seems to be a WinMo thing. I've had it happen a lot with my Sprint Touch and Touch Pro so far. Haven't had my Touch Pro 2 long enough to hear it happen with it.
It happens to me and I hate it. Happens on my old touch, my wifes touch and not my touch pro2. I have been working with sprint and they can not seem to fix the problem. it is annoying when my sister calls with her kids yelling in the background and when playing through the speaker phone is crazy loud.
id love to be able to get my fone to do this
I have not experienced the problem in a long time. I changed dialers and made some registry edits for caller ID to announce through the bluetooth. Since then it has not happened.
my opinion and conclusion:
The problem is with Microsoft and HTC. It could be a timebomb planted into the phone to cause problems after a certain time to promote purchasing a newer model. Who knows!
I think it has to do with the dialer or blue tooth.

for me it is everytime i get a call. there is only one condition: phone cannot be locked.

I just found this thread on google looking for an answer to this "issue." I guess I'm just glad that it's happening to other people, because the first time it happened it freaked me out.
I'm on a Sprint Evo - Android "Froyo" operating system. Seems to happen (the only time I've noticed it, anyway) only when one family calls me. What I mean by that is that I have friends that have a family plan, and whenever one of that "family" of phones calls me I can hear them talking while the phone rings. So strange..
Just a quick question for you guys. When I receive a phone call (full signal strength) and slide the slider accross to answer the phone there is a long pause of silence before the call actually connects. Has anyone else run into this situation?
Nexus One running stock Froyo (At&t)
yes I have this issue: I answer and cannot get an answer on the other end but I can hear them saying "hello". After a few seconds we connect and they say they never heard me say anything even though I was saying hello back.
I have two Nexus Ones: one answers calls perfectly and has great sound quality, while the other has this issue you describe, along with low call volume.
I think in my case it may be a hardware issue and I may need to send it in to be looked at. Both running on ATT although the good device is the tmobile version and the problem device is ATT 3G version.

You think it is a hardware issue? I thought that it was like that across all N1s?
There was a thread here 1-2 weeks ago about the issue and pretty much EVERYBODY had this problem.
I can't find the thread anymore but it was about the delay between answering a call and the mic becoming active ... which takes 2-5 seconds.
I just noticed the other day that the delay seems to be less if I immediately put the call on speaker.
Never encountered that issue. The other side hears me immediately as I answer. I guess this is not "across all N1s", unless someone would think my N1 is special in some way (which it isn't, and so are all the other 7 N1s of my friends at work which also happen not to have this problem - and the call quality is great on at least 3 that I checked personally).
Instantly connects on my phone as well, so it's not on all devices at least. I have one of the first batches of T-Mobile N1's btw.
What carrier are you on?
this happens to me too.its so annoying. im on att
Can't find the thread but it was pretty long.

I'm not so sure anymore. I decided since my only choice was to send it in for repair, I might as well one click root and install CM6 and see what happens. So far, I have not had the issue. It's only been three days but that's the longest this device has ever gone without having the "no connect" issue. Also, my low call volume and speaker phone volume issues are now resolved. I now find myself turning the volume down rather than up. I'll update this thread with final verdict on whether this fixes my issue.
This sounds like an att problem not a nrsux one problem
I notice this problem as well. If I wait until the call timer appears on screen before I start to talk the other party doesn't seem to notice.
I'm on T MO and never had this issue. Try the one click root and flash a different ROM. If it doesn't work send it to HTC. I recently sent mine back on a Monday and it was back that Friday.
Sent from my Nexus One
Well my issue has been resolved by switching to CM6. It's been a week now and the issue has not occurred even one time. This was an issue that used to happen to me EVERY DAY, so I am very happy that in my case it turned out to be a software issue.
When I was running 2.1 I hoped 2.2 would fix it and when it didn't I thought for sure it must be hardware. It's so nice to KNOW I can answer the phone if it rings now. Sometimes I would get an important call and I was afraid to answer the damn phone!
Thank you Mr. Cyanogen, whoever you are.
I get this issue once in a while. I think its a software issue. Over time something gets hung up somewhere.
I had a thread like this as well..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691399
For me it still happens randomly, stock 2.1 rom, stock 2.2 rom, Enom's ROM, etc...
Although I have a theory that I haven't tried to prove/disprove yet.. It seems like several times when this has happened I was holding my finger over the second mic on the back, which is naturually where my finger seems to lay when I hold the phone. Anyone else considered this? I'm thinking maybe it's throwing off the microphone trying to do noise cancellation?

Definitely not the finger covering the mic. Just tried it with/without and same result.
There was another thread that was at least 3-4 pages of people complaining about it.
Sounds more like a network issue than a hardware issue, IMO
This issue has come up recently for me and it's really annoying. I'm not sure what triggered this problem...
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any ideas on how to resolve?
I've got the Rogers/AT&T N1.
Basically what happens is just randomly after unlocking the phone, the sound is VERY low; almost nonexistent. I press the volume rocker and although it's all the way up, you can barely hear anything. You have to put your ear up to the speaker to hear anything. Music and phone calls are just fine, but notifications, ringtones or any system sounds are very very low. A reboot fixes the issue but this has happened 5 or 6 times now and I fear it'll get worse as time goes on. I don't think it's rom related because the phone has done this before and after rooting and flashing CM7. If anyone has a fix on this let me know. It's getting a tad obnoxious.
I have the same issue!
Some people have had some faulty hardware so you should just exchange it while you can. You can also try uninstalling everything and see if it still does it. I've had a bad program that caused lots of performance issues. May be that.
I don't think I'd be able to swap it out since I bought it on day one.

I'd still give it a try if you bought it a local Best Buy store and not online. The Best Buy receipts for we first day purchasers at stores say extended gift return period to the end of january. I haven't seen any one test that yet, but couldn't hurt to go into the store and ask!
Hello,
I have had my Nexus 4 for a while and I am loving it
But it seems to have some build quality issues. There is a small rattling sound that I sometimes hear from the phone.
Also there is occasionally a sort of "popping" noise that occasionally happens when I use the camera. It makes the noise then the phone reboots or the camera app FC's.
Other than these I am very happy I bought this phone.
Thanks,
The Doolster
sounds like a hardware issue, mine doesnt do any of that. has it been dropped? has it always behaved this way, or is it a recent issue?

It's happened since I bought it. I have never dropped it, I have been very careful with it until i get my bumper. The issues started the 1st day I had the phone. It doesn't really affect me that much, since the camera issue is only occasionally. I jsut wanted to see if there was a way to fix it, or if anyone else had the same problem. It is a 301K model phone, if that helps.
EDIT: Another issue (that I think is ROM-Related) is that it always says I have a new voicemail at boot. But when I click on it, it says "1 new voicemail message" and then it just plays back whatever is coming through the microphone. Strange.

Hi Guys,
I am bought LG G2 2 weeks ago, and the phone is amazing. I like it and feel I’m in love with it. It is very smooth and has a clear screen.
However, I have one main problem, its PHONE function. The sound is not clear and the person in the other end is hearing an echo sound. Also, when the phone is in the sleep mode, it seems off, as there is no single. So it cannot receive any calls.
Is there anyone who face the same problem??? What is the possible solution. Thanks.
I am somewhat disappointed with the voice quality too. I haven't got the time to tweak the GSM radio or flash another one.
But it sure sounds horrible in my opinion.
Mine is a D801 (T-Mobile) version
Cheers!

Sounds like your phone is defective. Exchange it out if you're still in your 14 day period
