Not really, 1) turn down the volume till it stops. 2) That fails, get a replacement unit.

There's a dilemma - increase volume to max and it farts, turn it down its too quiet. Such a shame Samsung have saved money using a small cheap speaker in the Note 3...yet charged a big premium for it all the same.

I've noticed that I'll hear a weird vibration noise if I increase the volume over a certain amount in call. I fixed it at some point by inserting and removing the headset but it returned once I changed the volume again. Has anyone else experienced this? This is on the normal speaker not the back one for speaker phone.
Mine has always done it. Kind of sounds like a slightly blown speaker. Honestly it only does it when I turn it up louder than I would want it anyway so it doesn't bother me.
When I first got mine, it vibrated badly when the volume was anywhere over the minimum. I returned it for a new one and this current one hasn't done it once. I have read many reports about this issue all over the interwebs...there must have been a batch or two that is stricken with this issue.
Thanks, I was hoping it was a software problem but it seems it definitely is a hardware defect. I'm in the process of ordering a replacement.
I don't experience the "popping" noise when I'm on a call. Only when I've left it on the charger for awhile. I'm not not sure what exactly causes it but it's quite annoying. If I take it off the charger and let it cool off, it's fine. Not sure what the deal with that is..
It seems my replacement phone has the same issue. Did I just get unlucky or is this a problem with all Epics?
Mine does the same thing. You are talking about the earpiece, right? Sounds like theres a hair stuck in it buzzing when you are talking to someone. It's definitely something screwy with the speaker itself.

There's no noticeable problem with my Nexus 4 except the squeaky power button.it is very annoying and I'm afraid it will break easily. Anyone know how to reduce the squeaky noise or should I just return it? Thanks.

Yes, i also get the squeaky noise. I feel that it will eventually fall off, especially since its made of plastic. To add to the problem, my speaker is muffled and "static-ie"-loud and vibrates the volume up down keys; a vibration that can be heard.
I have problem with my speaker too. The speaker is distorted when on max volume. Are you planning on returning it?

Well, for what i paid and the deving ill be getting, no. Im good with it honestly, if i lower the volume a couple times the sound sounds alright. If the buttons break then im SOL, Ill probably sell it for $100 and get a new phone. That is just me though. If you dont feel comfortable and have patience, then definitely return it.
+1 here with a squeaky power button
Has anyone noticed this. The hissing sound is low but is extremely noticeable when placing the earpiece next to your ear. I tried turning off different apps and even tried putting it on airplane mode with all the radios off. Does not matter whether the screen is on or off, The noise does not go away unless I turn the phone completely off. After noticing this I tried listening for the hissing sound on the galaxy s3, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5, it's only present on my nexus 4. Anyone else having this issue or is it just me? My phone is rooted but I don't think that matters.

Lol thanks for the heads up. Btw I did the ota update but I don't think that should be an issue as well. So maybe I have a faulty earpiece. Too bad I can't get an exchange anytime soon.
Anyone else notice the hissing / buzzing / crackling noise or not. I wanna at least find out if this is a common issue or not.

It is. Your old phones must be hissing as well, but not as loud as nexus4...
Can you hear it 1inch away from earpiece?

I googled and found others having problems on other android devices while playing audio files when using headsets. Couldn't really find anyone mentioning the problem I'm having. I'm guessing the other issue is more prevalent?
Yes some people already mentioned this, you're not the only one.
im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing ? ._.

If in a quiet area, yes. I can't hear a thing on the other phones I tested, while placing the earpiece next to my ear.
Yeah i have this on my Nexus 4. Its not noticable until you stick the phone next to your ear. 2-3 inches away and you cant hear a thing.
Just checked my old S2 and discovered that this also crackles a bit, but not as loudly.
I have a hissing sound whenever the screen is on. As soon as the screen is off it disappears, not too noticeable though so don't bother me really.

I have the same isuue. Regardless of the screen state (on/off). However, it can be heard only n quiet room.
I wonder if anyone contacted google on this issue.
This issue is already being discussed here
You didn't know that the Nexus 4 ships with a live snake inside of it?
Mine has very quiet crackling sound too. Sounds like interference.
OK so I just got mine and I had a listen for this and it sounds like coil whine.

Have it too (N4 Germany). But if someone hadn't pointed it out then I wouldn't have noticed it. It's really very quite.
I just hope it won't drain the battery or something because of some unknown process running in the background.
Please continue the discussion here.

Hi all,
I've got myself N7 II and I love it... Only issue I have is an horrible sound coming from my top/left speaker and it gets worse as I ramp up the volume. It sounds just like speaker is loose and/or it has some thin foil covering it.
I've been able to find some fixes for the problem but only for 1st gen N7 devices so I really have no idea how to fix this and I don't really want to return it to the seller...
Can any help?
Tnx in advance

If you just purchased it, I would return it, Never had any speaker cracking sound.

All nexus 7s have this issue... I don't fully understand why, but I believe it is the speaker codec or something, you don't hear it after a while, it drove me nuts to begin with! So I would advise you to stick with your n7 =)
I never had that issue with mine...
I've gave my N7 to service since it's under warranty... Let the support worry about it...
Tnx guys

Sounds like a hardware issue. Does it get better if you give it a knock with your hand?
