Tune-in radio sounds crappy - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hey everyone, I wonder if anyone else can say if they have experienced this issue: I've noticed that radio stations on tune-in sound like crackling firewood. I have several phones and can confirm that this is just happening on the essential phone I have. It doesn't seem to happen through earphones, just the bottom speaker. It only happens in the tune in app. Play music, YouTube music and YouTube premium all sound fine, so to me it seems like the speaker isn't the cause drive is clear for everything else. I've tried the same stations on two different apps on my ph-1, (Late Night in the Midlands) Tune-in and Paranormal Radio App, and only on Tune in doors it Crackle and pop. Question: sites anyone else experience anything like this, and do you think a factory reset would solve it?

Audio stops randomly

I'm not sure if this has been hit upon or not as a search didn't turn up anything, but when listening to audio, it will stop at random times. Every app I have tried does it (music, listen, doggcatcher, pandora, slacker). Anyone else have this problem? Next time it does it I will try to look at logcat and see if anything unusual is there.

If you are talking about streaming music, it could very well be a network connectivity issue.
I'd try listening to some MP3s that are stored on the phone (no streaming). If you still have intermittent sounds, then you should probably look into getting an exchange.
yeah I have also had this problem with playing mp3s and I have tried a few different music players.
yeah i have had this problemo too...thought it was just the track, but i guess it is the phone. and it was an mp3 not streaming from pandora or anything like that.
Nope it also happens when I am listening to music... audio just stops! Pisses me off... hopefully the OTA update fixes this

Happens to me as well. I have not noticed it since I switched to my bluetooth stereo headset though. Might it be something involving the wired headset? (I think it has happened to me on bt as well but it does not occur nearly as often if that is the case.)

Spotify Issues (N4)

Hi everyone
Is anyone else having problems with Spotify on their Nexus 4? On mine, certain songs will start very loudly deafening me if I am wearing headphones, before going back to the set volume. The only fix that I have found is to install a previous version of spotify.
However, that still does not fix my streaming problems, as while streaming to Bluetooth speakers, the wifi turns itself off and on again every now and then, stopping my streaming!
Am I the only one with these problems or are they more widespread?

Music plays through phones built in earpiece rather than the speaker?

Hi all,
I have recently noticed the issue above, really odd but the music, any videos etc play their audio through the phones earpiece at the top, rather than the speaker.
The phone is running paranoid android and it used to work perfectly fine. Just recently I noticed this is happening though.
It was like this earlier while I was using TuneIn to listen to the radio, I received a whatsapp message and that somehow triggered it to switch to the main speaker like it should, although the phone was on vibrate
Anyone have any ideas on this please?
Thanks!

[Q] Sound issues in some apps

Hi.
I just installed the latest Mahdi ROM and I am now facing weird sound issues in Spotify and Rdio. It sounds like some beeps or dial-tones while playing music. But they seem to happen very randomly. First I thought it was only while streaming and only in spotify, but it happens with downloaded music there also and in Rdio it happens, too. On the other hand I haven't noticed it happen in Soundcloud and Deezer.
Any ideas what might be the reason?
Cheers,

[Q] Noise when using headphones

When I bought the device 2,5 months ago I had no issues at all, but a few weeks ago I started noticing a lot of white noise when listening to music through the headphone jack on my Note 4, especially the right headphone. I have the feeling the issue started when I updated to NK4, but I'm not sure, so I don't want to downgrade just yet, since I have a lot of app data and it's quite a hassle to make a back up.
I was wondering if anyone else experiences this issue. I know it's present on some Nexus 5 and LG G3 devices as well. I have taken it to the Samsung store and they tried with their headphones as well and the issue persists. It gets even worse when I'm in the car using an aux cable to my car radio. Every time I accelerate or decelerate I hear a howling noise. Also when I'm just using the phone, not listening to any audio at all, all system sounds and notification sounds turned off, I often hear a clicking sound. At first I thought the back cover was a bit loose and made this sound, but it's actually coming from the speaker.
The issue is present in several apps: Youtube, TuneIn, MP3 Player and Google Play Music.
Is there anyone else who experiences such issues, because I'd rather not bring my phone in for repairs, as here in Holland that might take 2 to 6 weeks? And does anyone know if it is a software or a hardware issue, if anyone has found that downgrading might be a fix, I'd be happy to try that.
