I do not like how the S4 (9505) is pausing my headphone music / podcasts and then playing the whistle / notification out of the SPEAKERPHONE speaker annoying people around me on public transit.
WHY on earth is it doing this and not playing it through my headphones only?
Furthermore, what I'd actually prefer is the music / podcast I'm listening to, simply drops in volume slightly and the notification comes in - at aneven lower volume, just to let me know - 2 channels at the same time.
Anyone know if this is possible or of any notification adjustments I can do?
I think that is so you can notice the notification/ring when you forget to unplug your earphones. Good design.
I agree with you about pausing music. It should just play them together with lower volume for music.

Really good design would be to give the end user a choice between the two methods

Or you can mute the device from notifications panel.

I am using Poweramp, there is an option in the settings to prevent this.

I see your point re: the earphones but I kind of don't personally care about that. Do you know if it's possible to have the 2 played together? (I'd actually like the notification to be the quieter one - just so I can hear it just during my music)

I detest that program, it corrupted the data on my SD card - I told them about it, they didn't care because it was a rare error.
Besides, it should be a system wide setting, anyone know if it's possible to have notifications just play alongside the current audio stream?

The volume is terribly low. Is there a way to access the system settings and increase the volume levels.

go to settings>audio
Or press UP on the volume button?
(Hint, it's on the right hand side between the L & R shoulder buttons)
Make sure you press the right way or you'll make the volume incredibly low!
Thaks guys but I know how to manually turn the volume up. My fone is preser with a limit to as high to volume can go. Im trying to bypass that limit.

Take a cover meant for a bigger battery and put an amp in there picking up the signals for your speakers and sending them amplified to your speaker. If you need a starting direction, look for cmoy amps.
Make sure the you have the media volume up to. Other then that idk what to tell you. I think the play is the loadest phone I've had. If its a ringtone that you think is quiet. I can take your ringtone and make it much loader using audacity.
I dont think the Play is that loud either, the quality of the sound is good, due to the stereo speakers.. But I would also like a way to increase the limit of the maximum volume if there is a way

Yeah, it is a phone, but Sony you think it would be cool if it could be used as a stereo too?
Besides, my previous phone, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, was much louder than the Play. The Play just isnt as loud as you think

It's called headphones
Heck my old env was louder. I the alarm doesn't wake me up and i never hear txt or calls. I work in a loud place and all mh other phones i could hear 70% of the time. Great quality low sound

The maximum volume level is set for a reason.
Any louder & the speakers would distort.
I think in call loudspeaker volume could be much higher.

I've heard a lot about a buzzing noise coming from the earpiece, but whenever i plug in my headphones it makes a really annoying buzzing noise. I'm running AOKP Build 1 with Franco #28 kernel and the beats audio mod. I'm also using original Apple earphones. Any thoughts on how to fix this without flashing AOKP from scratch again? Thanks!

I recall someone else saying Bluetooth being on can cause problems. If it's on try turning it off.
Otherwise I don't know, mines OK with skull candies.
Bluetooth is off :/

Can you tell me if your streaming, or playing music directly.

Same here ...... It has something to do with the radio modem as when I was on 4.2.2 with older boot loader this did not happen but after I switched to the newer radio modem the buzzing started and man its annoying! Anyone's got any solution?

I had an app that trigged the proximity sensor. Uninstalled the app and the noise was gone.

Is it like a actual buzzzzzzzz sound or a rapid click click click sound? If it's actually a click noise, it is the proximity sensor, and you have some other app constantly running it. If it's a buzz, are you running a custom kernel? Do you usually crank up the volume? Have you messed with headset gain?
I have the same problem. not rooted
and its not buzzing.its more like rapid clicking, but I don't think I have any apps that use the proximity sensor. idk what to do fam
Try a different kernel

What the f has the kernel to do with this buzzing noise? This is one of the stupidest suggestions I read in my entire life.
The noise is hardware related. You can't fix it with software.
Guys, you have to accept that the Nexus 4 ist a cheap built smartphone with a LOT of problems, and I am not talking about the bad camera or the bad display in general.
I am talking about the huge and small bugs, for example.:
- noise in earspeaker
- buzzing noise with headphones
- heat-problems (YES, the N4 actually HAS heat-problems)
- Sleep of Death (LED and sound is working, but screen is black -> restart with Power+Volume)
- not-responsive screen when unlocking/not able to answer a call because of this
- dark line on the left side of the screen (especially on grey backgrounds)
- (maybe I am the only one with this problem, but this happens very often) when I am trying to unlock the ring, the status-bar slides down
- WiFi and GPS problems
- and more
Sure, the N4 was really cheap in its price and the problems testify that this phone is cheap.
The parts they used are cheap (e.g. DA-converters, display (don't tell me that it is possible to adjust the screen colors), speakers, cameras, microphone etc.). Maybe also the engineers who built the N4 were cheap.
Before I bought the N4 I had a Nexus S. It was WAY better than the N4 in many points.
I always recommended the Nexus line to my family and friends. But after using the N4 for long enough I will never recommend it again.
It's a piece of crap with a well-meant OS and causes headaches.
Guys, I had issues with the speaker volume, but they somehow fixed themselves. Yesterday I tried to listen to some music and my headphones were barely audible outdoors at full volume. I'm quite sure the headphones are fine, as they are rather loud when plugged into my wife's iPhone, but with Nexus 4 I get may be 1/3rd of their usual volume at 100% slider setting.
I tried to search on the forum and Google it, but could find a guide to fix this issue. Has anyone encountered and successfully fixed low 3.5mm jack volume?
I would appreciate your suggestions! Thanks!
Are you rooted?
If yes you can try an audio mod like xLouder or Viper4Android.
If not you can use poweramp to boost everything although it will probably sound like ****.

Thanks for your response!
I'm not rooted, running fully stock. I don't really need to boost *everything*, just the headphone output, it's the only thing that has low volume.
I can hear distortion while using headphones on my g2 from T-Mobile, anyone having the same problem?

No, I got a new set of headphones for it a few days ago and I use it in the car hooked up thru auxillary input and sounds perfect both ways.
Was hearing it while charging, can anyone test for me. Thanks

I was charging and playing music on my way to Vegas and back last week and had no issues. Maybe it is just your headphones and a bad impedance match up to the audio out.

I was also listening with the volume maxed out, which should be the place where distortion is heard most if there is any. Do you hear the distortion problem at max volume only or anywhere on the volume scale?

Hi folks,
Just got my new G2 today. I noticed that when playing music sound is only coming from the bottom right speaker grille. If I cover this there's no sound. Can someone check theirs and confirm if this is normal? Is the left speaker grille just a dummy then? Thanks!

Same here and I have the AT&T variant. The right side is the only side that sound comes out of. I'm thinking the left 'speaker' is the Microphone. Just like on my iPhone 4 there were two speakers, but one of them was a Microphone and the other was the actual speaker.

i have the Verizon variant, i would assume they are the same. the sound only comes from one side mainly.
Thanks for that richiev. I suspected that was the case as it certainly seems loud enough and it would be odd to place stereo speakers so close together. Cheers for confirming it for me!
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
They all only have one speaker. Verizon chose not to give it the stealth look.
One strange thing I have found is if I'm playing music with media volume set to full, if I put ringer volume to silent it lowers the music volume, ,,, or is it just me?

Don't notice the volume lower but do noticed a slight click from the first music played.
