Hi guys. Need your help. Ever since I updated to MM I keep randomly interrupted by crackling sounds during phone calls that last for 4-5 seconds than the sounds go away. I had the same issue on B560 but now that I updated to B565 I keep having the same problem . Tried to a hard reset but that changed nothing. Any help would be highly appreciated.
it could be that you're having trouble with your baseband...
did you used an european build on a pakistan,azian,.... build????
did you officially had a L23, L02?
because they have different frequenties than the ale l21

Yeah but that's something he should've figured out himself...
altough if he blew his speaker... but that would make a constant noise...
so id on't think it's a hardware problem...
altough there could be something loos. perhaps test it while putting your phone on speaker?

if he has the noise on speaker as well it has something to do with the reception.
quick question... did you do something illigal? it could be that they're tapping your phone
(way back when everybody a standard phone that was one of the solutions )

Haha... I'm pretty sure that no one is tapping me. I didn't do anything yet. I'm somewhat lazy these days and don't want to reinstall every app just to do a firmware change or downgrade. But the problem is most likely the firmware. It's not the speaker and it's not water damage. The issue occures only during calls(and even then not on all calls, about 70% of them) and only temporary, lasts 4 to 5 seconds and then I get maybe 3 minutes of talk time without any issues. Does the same on earpiece and speaker so I'm inclined to think that it's software issue. I've messed around a little bit with the firmwares both single and dual sim. I couldn't make MM install for some reason and I kept jumping from single to dual sim roms trying to fix the problem. Eventually I got it working on single sim B560 I think (my phone is single sim) but realized after a day that I had the sound issue. The next day I received the B565 OTA and I did the update but it didn't change anything . I'll try to change the baseband these days when I'll have a minute but it's somewhat of a hassle with the P8. I come from a Nexus 5 where changing roms was the norm and it took 30 seconds to do it without any hick ups. Now with the P8 a lot of the times I cross my fingers and hope for the best when changing firmwares. Anyway, I'll let you guys know how and if I manage to fix the issue

I'm sure this happens to most if not all Nexus 4 phone, but either it doesn't disturb the owners or most owners never notice it (or notice it but don't bother to think more of it.). I'm a sound person in general so it kind of annoys me.
This issue occurs usually when you haven't picked up your phone in a few minutes (or any amount of time more than a few minutes maybe) and you interact with it. The first time the phone tries to generate a sound (a touch or keyboard click sound maybe?) you might hear some kind of a very short pop/click noise just a little bit before you hear your normal sound. Then the rest of the sounds go on as they should, until you leave your phone aside and pick it up later again.
So, I actually wonder if anyone has bothered with that and if any talented developers have considered looking into it but abandoned hope. There's a case this could be hardware but I can't tell. Maybe someone can make a hack so that when the sound system wakes up when invoking a sound it performs some sort of fade-in first.
Anyway, I think this is an interesting issue and I'd love to hear what you think.

Hello,
This is my first post so sorry if something is done wrong or whatever. Ive been having issues with my front speaker. I dont think i did anything to break it (i drink a lot though) but its been completely useless for the past week or two. I have the latest cm 10.2 and franco kernel nightlies. I thought updating them might help but it didnt. I also can no longer talk to people on speakerphone like i could before (while the speaker still didnt work). I also tried headphones and now they dont with either. Does anyone have any idea what it could be and/or different ways to fix the speaker?
Thanks in advanced!

I havent used the stock rom since january and no i did not have this issue. Its been a recent thing
Easy to test, go to a very quiet room. Really quiet. Put your phone to your ear while screen off and listen. (Not phone off)
You will hear a faint sound, static, cracking well some kind of noise.
This is nothing new, and not just bound to this phone. However I had this issues only on the Nexus 4 and never noticed it on other phones I had.
It becomes a bit annoying while in call, really quiet room, and every pause, when both parties are not talking.
I think only option is learn to live with it? As if the numerous threads from N4 and other devices are true, this is a HW fault on all devices. Some ppl just do not hear it. What varies is the intensity, which ppl reported that exchanged their devices.
Is there someone on some variant not hearing it? (State your age as well)
Is there someone who exchanged their device based on this problem and got a new one with a different level of the noise?
Mine is international LG D802
I do hear the pops and squeals when I'm on a call, but not otherwise. VZW version, rooted, stock rom, "A" version of modem/radio.

The sound that you experience, since its through your BT as well, might be normal connection/call sounds. I have this really on all phones even sometimes on iPhone. But if its something tha tyou do not expect to hear, and have it constantly , bring it for repairs, I do not have somehting out of the ordinary in the calls, except what I described in the OP.
What I mean its really like static electricity, cracking sounds. But its faint, you won't notice it in normal environment, at least not when you do not know what to look for. There are youtube videos for the N4 with the sound I mean. cant listen to it now, as I am at work but I think something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wOxtzStUZ4
you really need a quiet environment, put your ear to the earpiece.
Also thanks for your post!
I am on ATT and noticed this and I was thinking about returning it but I tested the display model at the ATT store and the same thing. I tested an Iphone 4s and the same thing with the earpiece. I think this is more common than people think because you really have to be in a quiet setting to actually hear it. Thanks

FWIW, I haven't had this issue at all since the update came out months ago. Maybe they just haven't updated the demo model in the store.
Thanks for the info are you saying you had the issue prior to KitKat and the OTA with KitKat resolved the problem

Nope, had the issue before VZW did their radio update. No KK update for us yet.

whether you'll be kind enough to write a link for what you did two months ago, as you say it is successful and that the problem is solved. I tried to find it but I could not

All I did was accept the 12B update. 24A (Kit Kat) is rolling out now, I believe.
I'm sorry for bringing this from dead, but have you guys found any solution for this? Or it's not fixable once it occurs? charging + headphones +v4a developed this bug this evening on my g2.

My ears or better brain adjusted... same way you adjust to every annoying sound after a while. It is there... but you stop caring - hearing it.
I do not believe there is a software fix. If your problem is the one that I described, new hw might help.
But as I said. I adjusted ...
Definitely seems to be hardware problem. If I knew about it earlier I would never connect headphones and charger at the same time. Symptoms: static noise @ approx. 120bpm from both speakers, while phone in deep sleep.
Tried uninstalling v4a drivers, app, poweramp, flashing different kernels, clearing caches, and what so not.
I don't want to raise hope, but I found temporary workaround. I'm on stock kk, and I use g2 tweaksbox and gravitybox to get statusbar aosp quicksetting tiles. There is a compass tile. If I leave it ON there is no more noise. At first I thought that maybe this prevents phone from deep sleeping, but bbs is showing that phone sleeps well. Have not tested standby battery impact yet.

Hi,
Thanks for the remainder, as I noticed latest @dorimanx kernel eliminates this (from v 8) and my itchy fingers installed Viper4Android again and yes I struck my luck the distortion starts again...
My conclusion is an option between have better audio performance in mid to high volume level. But, lived my days with G2 enjoying the distort...
Or uninstall everything about viper4android and listen to flat music beat...
And I choose ingore the distort and drive away with awesome audio performance in my bluetooth car audio....
Cheers,
Hey, do you have xposed? I noticed that if I enable compass in quicktiles, there will be no more crackling. But I'm not sure about battery. So I use this when it's quite, in the evening, and I start hearing cracks, I just turn on compass.
As others have reported, the 10j update for the H918 lowers the volume for the bottom speaker. Has anyone looked into what they changed for this to occur or does anyone have a fix? Because my alarm is just barely loud enough to wake me up now and listening to music on the speaker sucks now.
I just went back to 10i for now

I know right? First 3 comments I came across said louder and since then most have said lower. It may not be louder but it is definitely clearer which was more important. But I'm positive I gotta slight volume boost too as I've been able to use external speaker more often without having to cup or bring to my ears. Even my coworker can clearly hear YouTube videos when we're having to grind at work.

What rom?
There's something wrong with the audio software on the V20.
Usually if the volume is lower than usual on mine, I will do one of the two things and it usually fixes it self.
1) power off completely and leave the phone off for 10 mins or so. Than power back up.
2) or do a battery pull and power back up about 5 mins later.
Usually one of the two corrects the issue for a while.

Unfortunately this did not fix the issue for me
Mine got louder with the i update, now with j I think it may have gone back down to the original level that it was with h, but it's now clearer. It is still plenty loud to me.

After updating to nougat my upper speaker start sounding really bad. It has a permanent rattle/buzz when the sound has mid frecuency that is very annoying. It is just a coincidence and my upper speaker just broke or it is software related? It let the phone unusable to play youtube videos with people talking at high volume as it sounds like s**it. Atached a video of the problem. Also, is it easy to replace the upper speaker?
The example is this video at 4:07

I will be really gratefull is someone with Nougat can help me with this. I am thinking on buying a speaker replacement and back cover adessive to fix the issue but i don't want to loss time and money to realize that the problem is software related!
Thanks a lot!

I have experienced this with all, but only, nougat ROMs. I believe it is software related. I think the gain is high to compensate for low volume in nougat. If you go back to stock does it still do this? Mine doesn't.

I meant going back to either stock and trying it. But specifically, for me, my region didn't have official stock nougat yet so personally trying it was done on official mm. What I meant was, custom nougat ROMs seem to be the issue. I can't confirm a non-issue with official nougat.

There isn't stock 7.0.1 - nowhere.
You can try to clean speakers with vacuum cleaner or compressed air very carefully.
I don't know how much loud it was - I heard something like a buzzing (resonance) sound in your mp4.zip.
If it is what you mean - rather speker/s is damaged, or its attachment.
You can also try twrp+root+viper4a to check it.

In M.M i wasn't having that problem. Efectivily is like a mega saturation in the mid range especter, really anoying.
Thanks for the answers! So it seems like it is a Nougat Problem?

Just for the record, i installed dirty unicorns 11.7 (it's nougat) and my problem with the speakers on that is nonexistent. I wonder if it's only certain custom nougat ROMs sharing the same audio source?
I actually had this problem on MM. Did you try to remove the "effects" in the Equalizer? Also try to to suck the dirt with mouht (оtherwise will push the dust inside and will make it worst (and of course try with thin cotton and alcohol to cleen the grid carefully )).
My Pure has been doing that for as long as I can remember. I can press down on the center of the top speaker and it stops. I think, for me anyway, that the speaker is bad or the grill is loose.
I think mine started doing that with Nougat update but maybe i break de grill when cleaning it. Anyway it is not loose and i allready clean it with hair, isopropilic alcohol, also tried to aspire with mi mouth with no look . The sound eq is disabled and has no effect on the phone, it is disabled by motorola and there is no app that can change general sound seettings. So i am now more loose, don't know if changing the speaker will help or not .
