The Galaxy Nexus is released today in the Netherlands so i bought one.
I really like the phone and was ready to root it tonight but then i got a phonecall.
The speaker sounds awfull...like the speaker has blown up...its hard to hear what the other person is saying with all that vibration coming out of the speaker.
Anybody else having this issue?

Looks like a broken phone. Mine is OK in call.
Went to the store and got a new phone...this one is perfect

No audio from media when using the external speaker. Ringtones and notifications work but nothing else.
Stock 4.0.2
Not in silent mode
Sound works via headphones
Tried a battery pull
Tried a factory reset
Thoughts or ideas?
Charging port doesn't work either wtfrak....I'm headed to Verizon tomorrow I guess. This really really pisses me off
I have the same exact issue I really hope there is a fix for this. If not then i hope it's something that won't happen on a new phone when i exchange it.

Did you guys ever figure this out? I just started experiencing this EXACT problem yesterday. I'm wondering if it has to do with the extended battery because I just installed it the night before. I will have to swap out the battery later tonight to check.
Hi, all,
When I talk on this phone, the sound is very poor... Although not too loud (like other complaints) but the sound crackles at high frequencies... The speakerphone is even worse... If I lower the volume, it gets better but sometimes a low volume won't help me with the conversation.
Is it my phone only or everyone experiences that? Are there any tweaks, settings to fix that ?
Thanks!
My phone seems fine and I haven't heard of this issue yet. Maybe I just haven't read up enough but it might just be that you got a bad phone. Exchanging would be the quickest way to get it replaced

I don't hear any cackles but the volume is very low even if I make it the highest it can be.
Mine actually sounds pretty good.
exchange it! Maybe you'll get a white one......

Just the color. They just rolled them out though, so they should be fresh.

Then it gets stained and dirty..

Hey guys,
Wanted to know if anyone is having an issue with Gnex speaker.
When the speaker makes a sound, as in locks, key tap, volume up down sound, anything, it hisses for a couple of seconds then like cuts out with a CB like noise. Soooo annoying!!!
Cheers is advance. = )
Yes this is annoying. It happens to everyone with sounds enabled.

You just aren't noticing it. Play a sound with your head up to the speaker and when the sound stops, you will hear a VERY FAINT hiss and then pop.
It's been noted by many users on the google bugs forum. It's annoying.
I assumed it was just really bad recordings? I was going to pull and re-sample my ringtone and SMS tones to see if I could fix it, might not be worth the effort if it's the phone.
So its normal?? Really?
Geez, that's a bummer, pretty annoying and very, I dunno, cheap. = (
I was hoping it was just me. So it could indeed be fixed with software?
I thought it might of been the hardware. = / Good and bad news in a way. So there's nothing we can do atm is there?
Thanks guys.
I gave friend also who has a Gnex and his has no noise like this at all. It's sweet.
This is strange.

Was he using a custom rom?

No that's the confusing part. I have another thread asking about firmware updates aswell...not going to bring that into this but he's on 4.0.3....isn't the latest 4.0.2?
Anyway, so your thinking if you wanted to you could change roms and it would get rid of that noise?
ive noticed ive ran into this issue only when using volume+
Oh really?
Nah I have it just straight out of the box.
I just got a replacement Gnex and its still doing this f'king noise!!! Its so annoying!! What can I do??

Digital to Analogue Converter.
Every model at best buy had this problem so we're not alone. There was a thread somewhere about manipulating the audio flinger. Mine is only noticeable in dead silence.

Yeah same. Its not that bad I spose but when I hear it I cringe a little. Haha.
So there is a way to fix it? I'd have to root wouldn't I....
What builds do you guys have?
Could you post? I'm doing a little brainstorming here and if its the build, I'm gonna change!! Haha.
Thanks I'm advance. = )
Do any of you actually realize that every speaker on the planet does this?
Apply power to speaker, it will hiss. Cut power from speaker, it will pop.
And seriously, why are any of you putting your ear up to the speaker port anyways? You do realize you must look like fools...
Mine does... Sometimes... I'd call and send it back but its my fifth gnex and the first that works properly. Does anyone else's do it? Maybe its something easy to fix?

Glad I'm not alone at least. It really isn't bad I'm just so ocd
