i'll do somthing in the UI to make a sound .. like a touch tone.. then in a few seconds i'll hear a pop from the rear speaker
anyone else have this issue?
Anyone having this issue?
basically.. does your rear speaker pop when the amp cuts power to the speaker ?
cant say i have this happening on mine
Exactly have the same problem. I didn't notice the hiss though, but definitely heard the pops. But yes when I listen closely I with my ear to speaker I hear exactly what you described: a hiss ending in a pop.

On my other phone (samsung epic 4g touch), it does the hiss/pop/silence thing too, but the pop is much much quieter that I can only hear it if I put my ear right next to the speaker.
However on this galaxy nexus it is loud enough that I can hear it from 1-3 feet-ish. Its especially noticeable in quiet areas.
I'm considering return it because of this

For me it's not a big problem. I notice it but it is not annoying me. I hear it only when I'm concentrating on it. BTW just applied the new update and that didn't fix this issue.

oh good to know... cause I'm actually kinda wondering if this affects all devices or just a few. If it affects mostly all, i wont bother getting a replacement

wow me too!
it's not so bad i guess
least i know the amp is turning off saving battery
I am having this issue also i have noticed it today i was in a quiete area. Is it an option that you can disable? I am afraid this will drain the battery

I'm pretty sure this happens on all devices. I have this on all my phones, navigation units, clock radios...
Me, too, I just checked all electronical devices I have and they all have it. Though, it's so quiet, that I have to get closer to the speaker than I normally ever woult.
Is that different for the GN? Is it louder than "normal"?

my GN is defiantly louder than normal. I can hear it easily from almost any normal usage distance. It almost sounds exactly like the normal touch sounds so that I get confused and think I clicked on something
pretty sure it's the amp cutting off power to the speaker a few seconds after it makes a noise
Mine does it too. Simplest solution I've found is to turn off touch sounds. That way the speaker doesn't keep turning on and off so often. I would normally turn those sounds off anyway because they are annoying, so it's no biggie for me.
Only time I have noticed a speaker pop is going into recovery
Mine does this too.
Glad its not just mine!
yeah, i thought i was going crazy last night too, but i definitely have the same popping problem
its not very loud , but its there - i heard it when i was in my room cause it was dead silent. Whenever i played any type of sound file, you'd hear the little pop afterwards from the speaker =/
it kinda sucks with touch tones for the dialer cause it happens everytime you push a number
i wonder if google/samsung knows about this and if it can somehow be fixed through a SW patch just like the volume bug haha - cause this LOOKS like a HW issue again
Yes, I certainly also get this, my hearing is very sensitive, so something like this is very noticeable for me.
Even "turn off touch sounds" doesn't seem to stop it.

I would guess it's just something as simple as properly muting the output to the speaker before turning it off. This should prevent the voltage spike from affecting the speaker.
Its not unique to the Nexus - it can potentially happen to anything with a speaker that isn't muted before turning off the amp.
Hi guys,
If anyone can check for me.Please go to settings>sound>system>and enable touch sounds. Then just hit the back button.You can hear the "click" sound from the speaker or the headphones.After milliseconds you can hear and a "clack" sound from speaker or the headphones?Please do the test for me because i think i have defective device.

Go somewhere very silent.Its not the vibration.I can "hear" the vibration and lets say at the same time the "click" and after milliseconds the "clack"
I just hear the vibration and then the sound.

I bought two galaxy nexus units from unlocked-mobiles. They both do the clack sound, one just much louder than the other .
I can only hear it if I put my ear right beside the speaker with one unit but with the other unit, it's quite loud. I can clearly hear it from arm's length with this second unit.
If I plug in my headphones, I can barely hear the clack sound from both units. Therefore I think the clack sound is either part of "click" sound file or it's just the speaker terminating the "click" sound file. If you can hear it loudly, you either have a defective speaker or low quality headphones. Either way, it's annoying to hear on the one unit whose external speaker "clacks" loudly.
Samsung's quality control is pretty disappointing. The unit that "clacks" loudly has already suffered from the "sleep of death" twice, and I've only had these phones for 24 hours! I'm all the way in Canada and so it's a pain to mail the defective unit back to the UK.

Expansys opened a case for replacement or service.I also called samsung and waiting their feedback during the day
Update:
Result. EVERYONE has this sound "clack". Just spoke with Samsung and this is how speaker works.No reason to worry.

They mentioned no fix.They said this is how speaker works BUT i asked supercurio for this issue (he doesnt have the device, he just read the thread) and here the answer
"Looks like pop-in and pop-out.
Means through hardware design or sound driver design are not very good for this codec."
I wouldn't say case closed.
With one of my devices, it's hardly noticeable (which is the way it supposed to be) so I don't mind at all. With the other I can clearly hear it from arm's length so it's a problem.

Obviously.Case closed goes for my case .Its not so loud.But in your case you must ask for replacement. The think is that everybody has it (other lower and other louder) and google/samsung must look at it.Maybe the solution is "simple" as supercurio quote (codec) or harder (bad hardware).If the problem (yes its a problem, i had sgs1,htc desire hd,nexus s, sgs2 and none of them has this issue and believe me from day one i check for pixels, speaker quality etc etc) is hardware then google/samsung you have a problem
Hello guys this is also my fault if we want to call it, but on a page of code.google there is a page to know the problem at the big G.
Who has this problem can visit this page and present it.

Yes i have this issue, thanks for the page wollyka i forgot it for posting.
All I hear is the sound it's supposed to make, nothing after. I turned off vibration and held it right to my hear and tried loads of times... all I hear is the single touch sound!
They're called Touch Sounds, its a feature, and you disable them under the sound settings.
Settings>Sound> uncheck Touch sounds.
This isn't a new feature either...
Either:
a) I'm just lucky because I don't have it; or
b) You guys are incredibly stupid and don't realise that the first sound you can hear is the vibrate and the second is the touch sound which you turned on
Hello!
is there any way to improve(increase) call volume/sound?
Sometimes call volume seems to be a bit to quiet and I have problem with understanding what the other person is speaking. Stock rom no rooted

Sorry to tell you, but that's how it is, unless you root hov.
Then you have chance to improve sound with various apps, like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Before rooting or trying anything radical, try to clean the speaker first. I had the same issue call volume was barely audible so I took one of my mom's sewing needles and I used it to clean the holes above htc logo. If you happen to have a needle or toothpick or anything similar, place the toothpick in every hole and wiggle it using mild and I repeat MILD force. If you push too hard you might damage the speaker. Give it a try you wouldn't believe what a huge difference it made for me.
And for bratusm, are you sure Viper4Android improves call volume? I have it on my One V and to be honest I haven't noticed any difference...
Enable extra loud and set the effect strength to extreme. I find mine way too loud like that though.

Like I wrote, "there is a chance..." :fingers-crossed:
Yeah I just enabled eXtra loud and used convolver and made a phone call, volume was indeed louder. So V4A's effect applies to both speakers... that's interesting.
Hi.
I'm on the new android 1.4 update with speaker support. When I make a phone call, I either get really low volume on the speaker (have to put my to my ears to listen) or the speaker has decent volume and distorts (like when you play loud music on tiny speakers). I'm wondering for those with the new update if that's normal or there might be an issue with my watch
Thanks
Unfortunately, I think it's an issue with your watch. The speaker is actually pretty loud, you can easily hear the voice from 2 meters away. The sound itself is also pretty clear, of course bass performance is reduced, but the speaker is suitable for phone calls.

Thanks for your reply. Is your watch the same volume all the time if you don't adjust the volume. My watch works fine at times and then for no reason you can barely hear anything and have to put the watch upto your ear. Also do you get any distortion at all on phone calls i.e. squeaky or mumbling voice

Yes, my watch keeps the volume at the same level as long as I do not change it manually. There is also no distortion on phone calls.

No afraid not. Have contacted Huawei support today in the UK and they have escalated it to head office and will let me know what happens next. Will update the thread when I hear something back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-2/general/speaker-scratch-call-volume-maximum-t3332476
Zenwatch 2 have the same problem... So i think that the problem it's on android 6.0.1... The volume in call it's very low and if you use in a car, it's difficoult to hear!Also the speaker as you said distorts the sound !!! This , however, does not happen by listening to the music ! if you use google play the sound is higher than the call! but high- volume music have a scratch
Ensure that the speaker port is clear. It can become blocked and the result is distorted sound.
Update
Update, after contacting Huawei support. They sent me a prepaid envelope to ship my watch to a third party repair centre SBE Ltd. I sent it off on Thursday and they received it next day Friday. This morning I received a brand new replacement sealed box. I have tested this one out and there is no issues with it. Sound is clear with no distortion.
Seems I'm having the same problem, hardly use the speaker, don't even play it loud when I do and out of the blue the speaker is distorted. Sigh
I have the same issue now with my replacement Huawei watch. Very annoying. It's completely unpredictable when it distorts as sometimes it's fine and other times its distorted. It sounds like someone trying to speak through their nose. Very distorted.
The only thing I can think of is the place I work at is quite dusty as I do warehouse work so maybe the speaker has dust inside

I can't get a recording as I've sent the watch back to the service Centre. The distortion when it occurs is so obvious that you can tell it's a defect with the speaker as even half volume is distorted.
It sounds pretty much like this video:

Same issue, did you find a fix?
Hi, I've been going crazy trying to figure out the same thing. My music volume on my watch is really loud and phone call volume is so low, it sounds like a whisper. This makes no sense! I contact Huawei and they said there is no way to change the volume of the phone call. Maybe it is a bug! I don't know if I should try to get a replacement or just wait it out for a new update to fix the issue. Anyone found a solution??

Post no 7 mentions a similar issue with the Asus zenwatch 2 as what you describe. So check that thread as well. I can't help much as my issue was constant whether it was listening to music or during a phone call.
Also I know if you get water in the speaker opening then the sound will temporarily go quiet but once it's dried then it will return back to normal.

When You are in a call - incoming - there is options on the call screen swiping up. There is Volume and others (dialer, mute, etc...). Try it!
Same problem here. The sound is so low, almost mute and crunchy. I'll contact to huawei for a replacement.
That normally happens when water has gotten in the speaker. I would wait till it's dried out and check again.
Even though the watch is water resistant there is a sort of chamber after the speaker grille that water will sit in before it's evaporated. It happens to me often when washing my hands.
Hi I know this thread is pretty old and I don't want to hijack this thread but I have a question. I want to buy a smart watch that has a good speaker for music. I've got two choices Huawei Watch and Gear s2 3G. Which one should I buy?
My voice sounds like crap on the other end. Garbled and cut up. I hear them just fine.
I do not have the problem on speakerphone.
If i block the top microphone, I sound better on the other end.
I had this exact problem with the last LG device I had, the Nexus 5.
There were several threads about it at the time, but LG and Google never fixed it.
Most people either just taped over it or edited a setting in build.prop to disable the second mic.
Anyone else? I really don't want to have to return it and move on.

You have no issues with your speakerphone? My speakerphone sounds like crap, if the volume is too high it gets the tinny distortion. Sad thing this was also the same of the display in the Verizon store and my friends XL 2 as well. I've made a few calls and so far no complaints.

When making calls with the speaker phone after 50% volume is when you can start hearing the tinny distortion.
Any solution to this ?
Iam having real trouble with mic if i change the angle even a little during call .. other person isnt hearing my voice
If i cover the top microphone .. its fine..
It is very agressive voice cancellation ..
How to switch it off ?
