Hi to all community, since I upgraded to KitKat I get a strange "buzzz" sound while playing music, this occurs me on ANY KK ROM (now I'm using CM w/HellsDoctor) I noticed that this happens with more frequency when the network (WiFi, 3G, Antenna) is busy.
I want to know if I'm the only one with this issue, or if any one knows a fix for this..
Thank you very much ^^

Is it constantly? Because people have reported a distortion like buzzing in music since kitkat. It's like a split of a second the music will sound really cranky and be normal again.
I have this issue only when using Poweramp with headphones, though. All other players and outputs work fine.

Guys as you may all know i got my desire hd yesterday. Now my problem is that i was listening to music fine. All of a sudden the music stopped playing and started again however there was no sound. So i tried three other earphones. Still no luck. I then also realised that the speaker doesnt work. No audio at all, music or ringtones. When in a call and i put the speaker on i can hear through it. When i plug in a handsfree or even my mw600 i get nothing. What should i do?

Hey,
Was this an upgrade from a Carrier or a SIM free from a reseller? Either way I would take it back and mention the Sale of Goods Act and ask them to kindly swap out the unit for you. If it's faulty within the first 28 days you are entitled to an exchange.
Hope this helps
It was bought from a reseller. The guy is meant be my mate lol. I mean since i got the phone i just rooted it and installed volume boost because the volume was so low

No, it's no need to swap the phone, its just happens like that with stock rom. I had the same thing few times, a single restart will get back the sound for few weeks.

It's just a bug in the software. i used to have it occasionally on Froyo, but since i upgraded to Gingerbread it seems to have been fixed
Came across this proble today, on stock ROM 2.2.1 , still waiting for Gingerbread here in India.
Hope this gets resolved, its really bugging, requires me to restart phone everytime to solve this and happening quite a lot while listening to music.
To fix this I installed android revolution hd rom

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.

I have the same problem, but I didn't install the app you all had mentioned, the sound only happened when the music app is on (poweramp and play music)... don't know how to fix that...

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.
Hi All, I have a brand new Nexus 4 (O\S 4.2.2) , I do a lot of sports and am using my Philips Bluetooth earphones, through them I used to be able to control my music (forward and backward between the different songs), that was all good and working with my iPhone 3GS. When I am using the very same pair of headset with my Nexus something strange happens, I can control my songs via the earphones up to 2-3 minutes from the time I powered them on, I start walking and then I can't move the songs anymore. Music keeps coming through and I hear it loud and clear , I can answer to incoming calls and control the music volume, but it looks like the BT service is dead or "hidden" in the backgroud and went to sleep and I can't move songs back and forth, when I unlock the phone I get back my controls , again for a period of 2-3 minutes. I turned off the WiFi and the GPS , nothing helps. Day-dream is off. I tried using many music players , all are the same so it must be something on the phone. Very annoying as I need to take my iPhone to my sports when all I want is to use my brand new Nexus. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thank you all.
Way too wordy. Lol
I'm using a Bluetooth headset on my phone and I can answer calls and to music as well. It works fine.

I have a LG HBS 700 headset. Forward songs? My headset can last 10+ hours just listening to music.

Thank you but my music also can be played for hours ,my problem is the controls that stops working and I need to "wake" up the phone to grip my controls back
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?
Hey all
I am running a tw 4.4.2 rom (kingdroid at the moment but had the same problem on others).
Using the stock music app or play music (a haven't tried others) when listening to music on headphones the audio will randomly be sent out of the phone speaker and headphone jack at the same time.
I have no idea why.
All I do know is I intended to use this phone instead of a dedicated audio player but I can't as randomly I scared the hell out of old people on the train.
Is this a known issue?
Any advice would be fantastic as I am so close to going and spending stupid money on a dap that I really just don't have lol.
Thanks in advance.
Scott

Update:
This occurs on all audio.
Eg.
Phone calls will route audio via ear piece and speaker. Music will play vis headphones and speaker.
All audio routes as it is meant too but in addition via the speaker.
The issue is intermittent.
No obvious trigger
