I got the active a week ago and love it...it's a huge upgrade from the gs2...but I'm having issues with it...the speaker for the speakerphone*sounds muffled and very raspy, almost like the speaker has water in it or is blown out....I have only listened to music in the shower...it's not yet had a full dunk in water. Anyone else have this issue or any other issues with their gs4 active?

You should use the search function and find other posts about your GS4 Active. Several threads already exist about it. Good luck.
Well here we go, Another audio crackling thread. Now here we go.
I so wish I could return this bag of rubbish S4 i9505. But alas I cant as I have had my insurance replace the digitizer already.
Now I first thought it was due to me dropping my s4 and putting a small crack in my digitizer that had caused the crackling. But after www.google.com opened my eyes I soon new it wasn't.
Replacement phone crackle is appaling on all 3 of my head phones. Sennheiser, beats and sony headphones. It's that bad I want to throw the thing in the bin.
I read a few posts that there is a 'fix' coming from Samsung? Now I am in the uk with an unbranded unlocked S4. I even think I notice a slight crackle with the stock headphones. Very feint though.
What advice can you all give me here?
Music is unplayable over 3/4 volume. What a waste of 549£ this was.
×Edit× Yes I can hear it through stock headphones. Wouldn't even want to sell this on. Someone else would hate it.
Hey guys! I'm reaching the end of my rope with this... so if anyone has had any experience with this, please let me know!
About a week ago, I dropped my S4 into a toilet! Anyways, everything came out fine besides the loud speaker. Now, the speaker isnt completely dead. It produces a low, constant hum (like some sort of electromagnetic interference). It produces different sounds as I use the touchscreen. It will ring and play music, but the quality is horrible. Ive replaced the Speaker ( it was easy since the housing pops on and off) and the USB Flex Cable. I am still getting the horrible hum and bad sound quality from the speaker. For the time being, I have a small piece of paper in front of the positive and negative of the speaker. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!!!
Hey,
I think my speaker is blown. Because on the highest volume it doesn't sound very nice
I didn't put my phone to water or any liquid. I tried the rice "method" just in case.
So this means i have to replace my speaker????
If your speaker was blown it wouldnt work at all, the "not sounding very nice" is just cause whatever you have playing is too loud, thats normally what happens with speakers when whats playing is too loud for it. If you continue turing it up all the way and getting that static though you might blow out the speakers however.

My Samsung s7 media speaker is BLOWN. This also happened to my s4. This is ridiculously frustrating. Yes, I have insurance that I pay EVERY month and now I have to pay the $100 deductible to replace this obvious problem that doesn't seem to get fixed upgrade after upgrade. This is not ok!!
I haven't seen anything posted on this and so, I'm hoping it's just my phone. Received my LG V20 last night and the first oddity was an audio one. When the T-Mobile jingle came on at boot, I noticed that the jingle had a slight crackling/distortion effect to it but I didn't think anything of it. Got the rest of the phone setup and I'm super happy with it but the issue showed up again as soon as I tried to test out the speaker outloud via YouTube. Anything with a high frequency results in crackling and people's voices have a slightly robotic effect to them. The issue isn't isolated to YouTube because it happens with anything.
It's not noticeable... if let's say you have the phone a few feet away from you at mid volume but it's super obvious when holding it and irritating when having it against my ear. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm thinking about stopping by a T-Mobile store to see if they have a model one that I can test out. Hoping it's not just a crappy speaker featured in a very audio featured phone. Thanks for any feedback ya'll.
Sounds like you have a bad unit. I haven't heard anyone mention the same issue so I think you should warranty it.
Mine has begun doing it whenever i run an app or a video. Even with the volume turned all the way down. For example, writing this post is producing very noticable static from the speaker even with all audio muted, all keypress audio disabled and haptic feedback disabled. Opening a game like clash of clans produces noise at the same level as a mistuned television.
I get the distortion as well on my T-Mobile variant.
Same issue
My phone just started with the cracking noise, but mines sounds like the speaker has blown out!! T moblie as well! Please post what you guys plan to do next
I have a Verizon variant and mine does the same thing. Recorded video of my daughters softball game and noticed the blown out speaker sound i was getting. Seems like poor quality speakers possibly.
Same Problems
I have a T-mobile LG V20 also coming from the Note 7 and tonight my speaker has the same static & blown speaker sound on high or low volume everything was fine until I used headphones and etc today I don't know if this had something to do with it or not I am really hoping this is not a big issue across the board. I am gonna swap it out and pray for the best LG is my last hope since there are no other good android phablets out right now.
Out of the blue
I have the Sprint version and mine just started cracking out of no where tonight for no reason. I was listening to music but it wasn't even turned all the way up. What in the world?
I have only had my V20 for 7 days and now the speaker is doing the same thing everyone else is saying (distortion, cracking, sounds like a blown speaker). Called LG they said factory reset it but that did not resolve. Went to Best Buy where they thought at first it was a software issue but quickly realized it is a hardware issue. Tried calling LG back but cant get through as the line says all circuits are busy. I just turned in my replacement Note 7 and now I think LG may have inherited the Samsung curse.
My phone just started doing the same thing!!! I was just listening to a song on SoundCloud and the sound suddenly became distorted. I tried YouTube and and same thing happened. I restarted the phone and the T-Mobile jingle was... You guessed it: distorted. Idk what happened for this functioning model to suddenly start doing this, but I'm very disappointed. I'll be going back to the T-Mobile store to try to turn it in and get it replaced.
You guys are scaring me. I really hope this isn't widespread!
My ATT LG v20 is audio has gone crazy just as described by others out of the blue!! Im not looking forward to the ttio to the ATT store as I doubt if anyone will knowcwhats going on! Has anyone's phone audio been fixed? The distortion. crackling makes the phone useless and makes me cry!!!#
Too many people are reporting this problem. Meaning that eventually we're all going to experience this. This does not sound good at all.
Happen to me today. Just turned on DAC and it went away. T mobile.
ughhh

Ugh I had high hopes but this did NOT work for me. Sprint. I waited so long for this phone and now dealing with this ....makes me pretty upset. I got mine on the 25th and it started on Nov 1st.
trashy audio after awhile WILL put me off on this device...
I have noticed it seems to get worse the more the battery is drained.
Got mine on 10/28 and until now (knock wood) the sound is pretty good!
T-Mo Variant
LG V20 speaker issues
I was within the 14 day Best Buy return period. They have ordered me a new V20. I'll see if it was just a fluke??
Some posts on reddit suggest that the speaker becomes crappy when the phone is being charged.
