Okay, i love this phone, but a few things are happening that kind of freak me out i was wondering if anyone else is experiencing these things.
1.) If you have UI sounds enabled.. ie...click noises for anything you select on your phone screen. Something wierd happens, i was wondering if anyone can test this and tell me if their getting the same thing.
Please be somewhere dead silent. Click anything and listen for the UI sound... now wait a couple seconds, probably 3 seconds and then you will hear a feint "pop" after not doing anything in that time. The "pop" sound almost sounds like that noise when you have your stereo hooked up to something and you unplug it while its on..that hot "pop"??? i dont know how to describe, was just wondering if anyone could test and see if their gnex does that too.
2.) I dont know if this is related to #1, but if im listening to my gnex through headphones, the UI click noises will all be followed by a feint hiss. Also when i unplug the 3.5 mm jack, i can hear a different type of hiss through the speakerphone like 2 seconds later.
3.) This has happend to me 2 times now. I will not use my phone for an extended period of time..probably 2 hours ish... When i turn my phone back on my touch screen isnt working, i cant swipe to unlock or anything. But i can still hold the power button and get the power-off menu, or press the volume rocker keys and lower the volume / raise the volume. I have to pull battery to get it working again.
4.) My gps voice sounds terrible, it sounds distorted at no matter what volume i have my phone at
5.) Kind of minor, but lets say im in my car and running audio through my g-nex, when i unplug my 3.5 mm cable from the gnex, the gnex will make a hissing noise about 2 seconds after unplugging through the phones speakerphone.
i really dont want to have to return this phone, but i mean all these annoyances are really hard to live with. I hope someone can give me some insight maybe even tell me their gnex has a problem, so that im not the only one having these problems.
Dont know

Just my 2 cents but it sounds like you are using a snake. Not a phone lol.
But seriously same things happened to me. I'm sure google is working on it.

For my ringer, it is on the loudest, but when I get a phone call, the sound is really muffled/low for about 1 second, then jumps up the volume it should be on (and its really loud)....Is that a normal issue or am I the only one having it?
Its not a make or break, I loooooooove this phone, but just wondering, its kind of weird!
Thanks!
Happens to me as well
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
It's by design and for 2 reasons. Prevents damage to the speaker and allows you time to silence it before it goes full blast. I actually like it.
If I'm next to my phone I can silence it before it bugs anyone else...if I'm not it will ring loud enough to get my attention.
This is same on mine. It was nice for the one time my phone started going in a meeting cause i hit the volume key fast enough to silence it, but does sound funny when you want it to be loud.
I was wondering if there were a way that when I plug my headphones in that it wont automatically change the volume down.
Also is there a way that when my phone starts ringing that it wont start low and then get louder? Like the first ring will be lower than what follows. I just want it all the same. THANKS!
nobosy cares about these things? I must be the only one I guess
I care about the ascending ringtone, I miss calls if my phones in another room and I don't hear it till the last ring.
Edit: After some time spent on Google it looks like this is a common issue with Samsung phones (ascending ringtone). The Cognition Rom for the regular GS2 fixes it but I have no clue how.
hmm I've always preferred ascending, why not just keep your phone in your pocket... but I know someone else like that too... Good luck
Odd I actually like the ascending ringtone.
I could be wrong, but I believe the phone keeps separate volume levels for headphones vs none. What happens if you adjust the volume with the headphones plugged in? Does the volume remain high after unplug and plug them back in?

no each time you plug them it, it drops the volume again
I just noticed this recently, maybe a day or two, but when I turn off my phone, I hear a loud sound from the speaker, not exactly sure what it is. Is this a phone problem?
Shouldn't be a weirs pop loud sound.
There's an option in sounds to enable or disable screen lock sound. Try disabling it and see if that fixes it

I tried that, it doesn't seem like the lock screen sound. I don't know how you'd describe it other than imagine force shutting down an old laptop by holding the power button and you hear some part of the computer shutting of instantly, but loudly? thats the best i can do lol
I noticed that sound too. But only once using a reboot tool. Uninstalled the app. Nothing since.
I got it a few times while doing unlocking/rooting, just about jumped from my seat the 1st time heh. Not during normal off/resets.
Same thing
Has anyone found a solution to this? I get it every time I reboot. Powering off normally doesn't 'pop'.
So every single time I press a key that would normally make a sound, even if my phone is on vibrate, my Nexus makes a very faint "click" from the speaker. Under normal circumstances this is not really a big deal but when in a quiet room, it becomes REALLY annoying. I didn't even notice this issue until I was sitting in bed one morning reading my email and noticed the noise.
Before you say your device doesn't have this issue, try putting your phone on vibrate mode and then opening an app. As soon as you click the icon to open it, put the phone's speaker up to your ear and wait about 2 full seconds and see if you hear a little "click." Is this a widespread issue or something that is only affecting my device? Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue and can be fixed with a software update.
go to settings > sounds > uncheck touch sounds.
I experience this issue too, but only from time to time. I think it has something to with the media volume, but I haven't been able to narrow it down to that. It also clicks when I quickreboot.

I tried this and it only fixed the issue for noises that would be made from the touch sounds. I still have the issue with all other button presses that would normally result in a sound (if it weren't on vibrate). This is clearly a bug but the question is whether it's hardware or software related!?
If I have to put the speaker up to my ear while opening a app to hear it...it doesn't seem like a legitimate problem because thats abnornal use.
However, I've never noticed any weird noises from my speaker and I've had my phone since November.
As I said, I didn't notice it either until I was in a very quiet room. Now that I know it's there I definitely notice it way more often and I don't have to put the phone near my ear to hear it.
try installing franco's kernel. It doesn't happen on his kernel.
I'm surprised there aren't more people complaining about this. I found this bug listed on the Android website but there hasn't been much discussion about it on XDA at all. To me, it's a really annoying buy that needs to be addressed and it seems like it's affecting most, if not all, Galaxy Nexus's.

Ok, as per the title, and here are some things covering the issue:
Initially the speaker stopped working immediately after plugging the charger in. It is a genuine Pixel charger.
The problem went away in less that a day later, but reappeared straight after charging again.
Yet again the problem went away
Yesterday the issue reappeared randomly whilst using the phone and hasn't corrected itself since
The issue results in any short sound played giving exactly 16 feint clicks from the speaker, no crackling or coarse sounds, just 16 programmed clicks from the speaker. Press the home button - 16 clicks, like a comment on the Facebook app - 16 clicks
Playing a Youtube video results in constant feint clicking from the speaker, same frequency as the 16 clicks, but as said, constant.
Set the phone to "do not disturb" so no sounds from apps/software are allowed and the 16 clicks from phone interaction (home button etc etc) still happen exactly the same as before; this confuses me further as if it was ingress or a faulty speaker it would not give any sound while "do not disturb" is enabled. If it was a hardware fault, it'd have to be at chip level, so pointing toward software/firmware
Safemode has no effect
Factory reset has no effect
The Google "piano" boot up sound is not played.
Now, the very odd one; if I am browsing the Facebook app and auto play videos are on, the clicking sound is developed. To clarify, the video has not been clicked, it is not full screen, it is just there, on the newsfeed playing thus creating constant clicking while the video is playing. There would be NO sound playing if the speaker worked, but still, it clicks.
I'm unsure how the phone picks up audio playing for the volume rocker to adjust media volume instead of notification volume, but from what I can infer, it works on some sort of pass through. If the phone picks up sound, the volume rocker, when pressed, focuses on and adjusts media volume. As per number 11, in this state of a video playing but NOT focused, the volume buttons revert to notification volumes, hence no sound coming from the app; why is the clicking apparent when there is no sound trying to be played?
Phone calls work fine
Phone calls with loud speaker do not work
Sound via headphones do work perfectly
I have tried checking to see if ingress via the headphone jack is causing the issue by plugging/unplugging headphones but this has had no effect.
Bluetooth is OFF
Have turned on headset in "System UI Tuner" in status bar to show if the phone thinks they are connected. There is no notification of this
Any ideas?
Regards​
Dave
whoa that's crazy, is it similar to the issue in this video?

does audio play through your earphones when connected or does this also come across as clicks?

Headphones work as normal. Such a confusing issue with the phone. With regards​ to phone condition etc, it is two months old and in immaculate condition, never dropped or wet. It's my second pixel as my previous one died one day and wouldn't turn on again. Google are happy to replace, but as it's an intermittent fault they have warned me that if they don't find anything wrong when this phone by the time it gets back to them, I could have to stump the cost of a new phone.
They had organised a return, but a day later it started working again, so cancelled the return; now stopped working again
As for the video, will wait until I'm at a PC, can't hear what's going on in that one currently (on my phone haha).
EDIT
@fatapia - I have watched the video, the fault is nothing like that in the video. There is no sound no matter what, just 16 feint programmed clicks as mentioned before after every interaction with the phone that would make a click/sound, even on silent it still does it.

Did you ever solve this? I just started having the same exact problem with the 8.1 update.

I'm having the same issue on my Pixel 1st gen too after my 8.1.0 update. In phone calls, I can only hear sound when i turn on speaker phone. Headphone sound works fine, but all media volume isn't playing.
Did anyone solve this? I am having the same issues. No sound. But ringtones and notifications work fine. Speakphone only during calls.
Google approved an RMA for mine and sent me a refurbished handset which works great
