I've got buzzing bad it started about a month after purchase and then seemed to go away for a few months, but now it's back and more annoying then ever. Have you found a fix or its a defect?

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

I have the same problem -__-

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.

[Q] People can only hear me on speaker

Stock brand new GS4 from AT&T. This morning, I noticed that nobody could hear me during a call except when I put them on speaker. I'd rather not go through the trouble of constantly during the speaker option on and off just to go through a call. I've only had the phone for a week by the way. Anybody know how to solve this?

Not good...
ODIN back to stock, and see if that helps.
It's not rooted BTW. But that wouldn't have anything to do with having to ODIN yeah?

All ODIN will do is allow you to return it back completely to stock... which is where you should already be, but it just makes sure.
I would take it back to the store. If you are 100% stock something is wrong. Unless you triggered some weird accessibility option, but I know of nothing that would act this way.

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?

Yeah it's brand new, unrooted and completely stock.
I will go back to the store if all else fails but am hoping there is a solution.

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.

Lol. Been abusing my i9500 like crazy since june. No issues so far. So your unit must have been faulty from the beginning.

[Q] Speaker Phone quality?

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem, as I am fairly new to the Nexus4 and therefore uncertain if this is just normal.
Basically when I use the speaker phone, on the Nexus 4, the other side will struggle to hear me. If I use the HTC Desire S, a 2 year old handset, and do the same thing, then the sound is crystal clear. Is the quality of the Nexus 4 good? Do I need to send it in for repair?
I have tried the stock ROM 4.3, [4.2.2] Official Illusion v2.1 and [4.3]BeanStalk Build 4.308 and several different Kernels. Even though the results vary, they all produce sound that I would say is very substandard for a decent handset. I have done full wipe delvik/cache and factory reset.
Your response would be much appreciated.
Does no one have any input on this?

During my tests I also found that when the phone was on speaker phone only the top mic was working, not sure if that is normal.

[Q] Clicky sound when you tilt phone

Hi guys,
just got a Nexus 4, and during a phone call I heard a clicky sound coming from the phone,
it kinda sounds like the camera when its autofocusing. It can be heard when I tilt the phone backwards and forwards.
Anybody else having this?

This is a normal issue among all N4 devices. There is a posse part of some sort and there's nothing you can do to stop it unfortunately.

Any idea whats causing it?
Just found out what it is. The system that ejects the simcard is making the noise, here is a video on how to fix it.
