[Q] Dropped my Phone and have probs! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA!,
So today i dropped my phone in a little bit of rain.. it didnt shatter. or anything.. physically not even a ding (i am surprised too) but after when i tried to make a call i couldnt hear a thing unless i put it on speaker or use headphone. Im not sure the other person can hear me either.
I got this phone as gift. So when i called google they want the email adress of that person which i dont have and been trying to contact that person.. no luck. so called lg and they will chrge me.
Any ideas??
EDIT : just tried to call using viber. and earpiece works. Not when on a regular call tho

[WTF] You're not my mom!

Hi,
Today when i was going to call my mom, my genius DHD decided to call Feliz, a bar/club in my city. I don't even have their number!
Oh, the phone also thought it would be awesome if it started Songbird when i was listening to the HTC music app. You know, 3D sound... HTC, you fail
Has anybody else had this problem?
Yes I had it the day before when I pressed one of my last calls in the dialer it selected a random other contact and called that one instead. I immediately hang up, tried it again and it happened again. The 3rd or 4th time it got it right.... It never happened before or after yet...
Wow that's really a weird bug. Glad I haven't experience that bug (yet)

Most probably this is a network problem
This haven't happen again (today), but i'm almost forced to check the screen everytime i call somebody.
(Sorry about my english today, i've had a "couple" of beers.)

Bazooka...change your name to Booze-acher! XD Anyways the bug must be due to a program you may have in common? Or touch screen defects?
I think it's mostly network related problems.. Had it before on my nokia..
The touchscreen is perfect. I haven't installed apps that can cause this behaviour. Haven't had any problems after that "episode", but i'll report it if it happens again.

Couple of beers? Your problem may be in that area then ;P

Hahah, it happened before the beers. I was actually on my way to the store to buy the beer But it didn't happen again while i was on the bottle, so i hope it were a one time thing.

There you go - a solution! If it happens again, you know what to do
On the serious side - I haven't experienced anything like that, but I noticed that on HTC's dialer (both on WM and Android) there is a delay in noting the number you call last, so when you use the list, you may press the right contact, then the dialer puts your last call on the top of list, all the last calls get scrolled one position down and you end up calling the wrong number. Hope I explained it right. It's really simple and very weird at the same time.
Happend to me the othere day too, tried to call somebody, and it seems to have called somebody else.
The number on the display was correct though, which is weird.
Has only happend once though.
The funny thing is that the number it called isn't on my phone. So it called a random number. Which makes it even weirder.

Has not happened to be, yet.
It should be a rare issue though i hope!

Then it's most likely a network issue.

^^ wow it was just a joke...
Maybe your mom forwards her calls to the club.
To chime in, this also happened to me and three other mates, and we all have the DHD. On a couple of occations, we've dialed complete strangers when trying to reach each other. Same story; dialing from either speed-dial or using the contacts app, and the number dialed does not match the person on the other end.
We have the same carrier though, so I'm pretty sure this is a network related issue, but it's weird that I haven't heard of this happening with any other phones that other friends have.
What carrier do you have? I have Tele2.

Person on call does not hear me when I first answer the call

Every time I answer a call, the person on the other line does not hear me if I speak as soon as I answer the call. Is any one else having this? I have to call someone, wait till they pick up, say hello, hello. They catch the second hello every time. I can't help but think this is not normal.
This is not an issue of the case or bumper as I do not change the level of my voice when this happens.
I have excellent call quality. I do not have the buzz or the mute issue. I do not have any call quality issues at all.
I started another thread to discuss the issue I am having. Mods, feel free to move the responses into here and delete my other thread.

ok... I thought I was the only one having this issue. I have to say hello twice all the time. I just thought I was too quick to say hello, but it's been driving me crazy!
also, it happens regardless of the ROM I'm running. I guess I just have to get used to pausing for a few seconds when I answer the phone before saying hello... or just keep saying hello twice
I also had the same problem with my GNex on AT&T. I'm just now used to taking a breath after answering before saying anything.
I'm having this problem as well. I don't hear them neither do they hear me for about 4 seconds.

This happens to me on t-mo..happened on my GS2 as well. I noticed that if you wait until you hear the unlock sound after answering the call they can hear you.
Yes noticed in my nexus 4 after i got it, its kinda annoying, i want it fixed!
I also do have the buzzing in the phone, but its really low only hear it when theres no sound, doesnt really bother me...

As soon as u answer if u wait one second and say hello they'll hear it i noticed it too but as soon as it goes from 0:00 to 0:01 they could hear don't think it was serious enough to make a thread but hey I'm not judging

HAHA I really thought I was the only one with this problem. Do any of you guys get random hanging up? Like you know FOR SURE you have good reception and that you never touched the end call but the phone hangs the call up anyway once in awhile.
having the same problem with the call delay as well, on ATT. the Gnex didn't do this
I have the problem but it is only for a split second so if I just wait a sec before saying something it works as it should.
Ok this is odd as I have the same problem and thought it was due to my using Groove IP or Talkatone. It sounds like it may be a hardware issue or a JB issue.
This is a very concerning problem. I hope it is fixed ASAP.
looks like a sw issue ....had the same on my Samsung Spica i5700 which was fixed by the devs on samdroid
Same issues! What the heck!

Very annoying. In the end it is a phone, what on earth it can't do it right on the basic function as a phone. Hope more people raise the concern and push Google to fix that. Otherwise RMA is on the way.
Yep happens to me also, hopefully will be fixed soon but not a big issue.

I also have the same problem - I tried looking for a software solution, but I always come to a hardware solution
even tried flashing stock ROM again, after trying everything possible with WANAMLITE ROM (1.7) - which works great on my father's S4.
going now to the service center - will let you know what they say
Thank u
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
OK
so after fixing this problem at the service center I can assure you one thing - it is a hardware problem.
I didn't have the guts to open my new phone myself, so I went to a lab - he changed the ear speaker in 5 minutes and it works. if you want you can buy it on ebay - it should cost around 10$ and do it yourself - that's the only way to fix it

Speaker stopped working

Hi,
I've had my S4 for about 3 days now and today all of a sudden the rear speaker has stopped working. No sound comes out of it at all, including notifications, screen lock sounds, touch sounds and any other sound. I have restarted multiple times but there is still no sound. If I plug in some headphones then I can hear the sound through them, so the problem seems to be related just to the main speaker.
Please help me
Is it brand new. Can you take it back?
Are you rooted? Flash another ROM?

I wouldn't say a lot, but I do use them for an hour or two every night before I go to bed. I used them briefly for about 10 minutes earlier today but the speaker randomly stopped working a few hours after that.
I think I even heard when the speaker malfunctioned because as I touched the screen the touch sound cut out about half way through, though I thought nothing of it. Only now do I realize that there hasn't been any sound out the speaker since then.
Oh because i had that problem lots of times but its because i had headphones in while i switched the phones off or if it went dead while they were plugged in. Then when i restart the phone without them plugged in the phone still thinks there connected when there not so how i fixed it is that i plugged them in and out really fast. Its worth a try but i doubt it will work in your case

Well nothing I tried worked, so I'm guessing it was a hardware malfunction (my guess is that the speaker blew somehow).
I went back to the store today and they gave me a new S4 with no hassle. Just a little disappointed that I spent all weekend setting it up and customising it and now I have to do it all again.
Heres hoping this one lasts more than 4 days lol.

Who do I call to get an RMA?

Hey all, I wanted to ask a couple questions.
1. Is the headphone jack under warranty by Google? Like, one side stopped working.
2. Who do I call/email to get an RMA
3. Are RMA'd phones bad/do they have any problems? One thing I like, don't know if this makes a difference, but in the CPU bin, my phone is "fastest". Don't know if that actually means anything, so yeah.
Thanks!

Oh, and also, should I restore to stock before sending it in?

What do you mean one side of the headphone jack stopped working? You only have one headphone jack.
You have to call Google to request a RMA. I don't think the phone you get will be a defect. That would be counter productive. The CPU bin won't matter. They most likely won't check to see what CPU bin on the phone that will be replaced for you. You should factory reset your phone before sending it in. They might give you a new phone/refurbished device.
Like, one side of the headphones stopped working, also, what's their number? I can't find it o.o

It sure doesn't sound like it's the headphone jack. It sounds like the headphones are broken.
Have you tried a different set of headphones?

This exact problem happened to me as well, Not so long ago...
Maybe about a week ago at most. My left ear cup is gone but my right ear cup is still working perfectly.
I think it's the contact between the jack and the plug. I'm sending it in next week for a replacement.
I've had my N4 for 9 months until this happened lol
Let me know how it goes!
You ain't the only one.
(855) 836-3987
You have a Google Nexus 4 why not just search google for their number... LOL The phone is under warranty for a year so check when you got it or they will let you know when you speak to them but its not like the new one is expensive at all. How did you get the phone through web or off somebody
Call Google if you bought from Google or call LG if bought from somewhere else(i.e. T-Mobile). And when i was on the phone with Google a week or so ago for an RMA, they said it would most likely end up being a refurb. device.
