Ever since I got my nexus from the play store, even with the volume down, and on screen touch sounds off, I get this popping noise when I make a screen selection. After about 2-3 seconds, there is another pop. I know I had this problem on my old phone when I put headphones in and made a screen selection. Is there any way to fix this?

No, it's your speaker. If you can hear the speaker "shutting down" under normal conditions, making that static sound, you should get it fixed/exchanged. I have to press my ear against the speaker to hear it. But it's there, just very quiet.

Maybe you should remove the bubble wrap gloves?
Does this occur with or without earphones??

I'm not referring to the volume rocker ghost button issue. Is the phone loud enough and can people hear you? Do you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves or are people asking you to repeat yourself? How is the media volume?
I had a chance to play with the Verizon 4g galaxy nexus today at the Samsung store in NYC. I thought the phone was great. However my Droid X call volume seems a lot louder than the Nexus.
The Samsung store is not a library to be sure. It is noisy, but it's not the loudest indoor environment either. For those of you who own the phone , how is the call volume and reception, while walking down a busy street or other loud environments compared to your last phone?

from what i've heard it's comparable to that of an AOSP(cyanogenmod) rom, which of course is "quieter" then a standard Sense-based phone. i'd say just root it a.s.a.p. and hopefully roms will start popping up with audio fixes.
Its just fine, no probs here.
Maybe louder than my atrix (maybe)
what about the speakerphone?
Speakerphone is extremely quiet and alarms are barely audible, but in call volume and clarity seem to be very good though not as good as any of my Motorolas.
The speakerphone is pretty quiet (the GN speaker is pretty quiet, I expect that'll get fixed in third party ROMs soon), but the in call mic has been great for me. I usually have mine up about halfway and I haven't had any issues, even in loud areas.

I heard that the speaker volume is weak. At the Samsung store, the phone was only connected to wifi. I only tested the speaker volume since I couldn't use the phone. Isn't the phone's speaker a hardware issue?
When I first got my Droid X, I was disappointed in the speaker volume compared to my previous phone, which was the blackberry storm 2. The call volume and speakers were the only features of the blackberry storm that I missed from my switch.
To tell the truth, I haven't loved a phone since my palm 650/700p. At
The time it was released, it just seemed to do everything in it's class better than it's competitors of that time. I was not impressed nor troubled by the Storm. It was a good solid phone, just boring. I liked the Droid X because of the concept of an open platform and the possibilities it afforded.
The screen was hard to see on a sunny day. Speaker phone reception wasn't the best and photos came out grainy. I spent countless hours entertained by customizing my phone with roms and such.
The screen on the Nexus is an amazing up grade. I hope it holds up in sunlight. I don't think it would take much to beat the photo quality of the Droid X. Low call and media volume could be a deal breaker. At it's core a phone is supposed to be a good audio device!
I'm hoping that the Nexus can be a phone that I can love as much as I did my palm at it's peek.

Oh, oh. I still use my blackberry storm as an alarm clock because my Droid X volume isn't as loud. I'm beginning to think a rooted Samsung galaxy 2 with ice cream sandwich or the future galaxy 3 might be the better phone. Neither option exist right now anyway.

i've read a lot in this forum that Volume+ works just fine for increasing the speaker volume for rings, notifications and speakerphone. and no root is required as well.

What is Volume+? I just checked the Android market for Volume + and Volume Plus. The only app that was remotely close in name was Volume Control +. That program appears to function as a volume equalizer of some sort.

I am on my third replacement phone (last one the LED notification didn't work) and now I am noticing that there is a very faint 'Pop' sound emitted from the speaker phone 3 seconds after there is a system audio sound. For instance, every time I hit the Home button or unlock the phone, I hear the 'Pop' three seconds later.
Does anyone else have this problem? If I have headphones plugged in, I do not hear the sound through the headphones.
Thanks!
Dude is it possible that u have the lock n unlock sounds enabled?

Yes I do have the sounds enabled and I hear those fine. I am hearing an additional click/pop noise 3 seconds later. It makes the sound pretty much every time the phone makes noise. It's very faint.
From what I've read this is a pretty common problem. Mine does this as well but honestly I can only hear it when its quiet.
There's also another thread on this topic but I don't believe there was really conclusion.
Mine and a bunch of nexi at my local best buy suffer from this. It is not dependent on lock sounds it's a problem with the DAC I believe

Gotcha. Are you boosting your volume with volume+ or any other app?
Thank you for the replies. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone.
I have the same problem. I posted a thread yesterday, and there's another one (i didn't see it before posting mine).
That's a pretty annoying issue, i used to have the same thing on my unibody MacBook (fixed with an unofficial software patch), and once you hear it, well, you can't unhear it.
I hope this is not a hardware issue and can be fixed by some patch, but no one seems to care about this one (maybe not all GN have this problem?)
I decided to just disable all touch tones since it was bothering me too much. Just out of curiosity I checked another Nexus and the pop is still there but could only be heard by literally holding the speaker phone to my ear. Not nearly as loud as mine.

Yeah dude.... same. I actually started the original thread on this. Its so annoying hey.... I hear ya man. I dunno, I did the same as you, disabled touch sounds. Its sounds cheap doesn't it.
I really hope its software related. I was trying to find out if, just a bit of 007 work, Haha, if it was maybe the build? Seeing if the people with a Google updated nexus's had the issue compared to people with the Samsung updated ones. I wonder if there a connection....

I want to figure out if my phone is defected, or if all Nexus' are like this.
About 3 seconds after sound comes out of the phone's speaker, do you hear a popping noise? It sounds like the speaker is almost turning off, but extremely late..
Thanks.
I'm sure your nexus is still a Canadian citizen but I think all our phones have this issue... some worse than others. I can barely hear mine. I have to bring the speaker right up to my ears to notice

Yup, same here. It has to be dead silent around me to hear the pop, but its always there. What's weird is that the first nexus I had, which was the titanium one, didn't have the pop sound. The white one I bought does.

More people mentioned this when nexus first came out. Didn't think much of it at the time. I had it happen a couple times though. Not for quite awhile though. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is frequent.
bow chicka wow wow.
didn't had anything like that with my nexus (white version, produced in february). maybe that was a problem with one of the earlier charges?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes my nexus does this too. Its been posted already.
Yes, but its so soft i'd have to put my ear right next to the speaker.
Ya, it's a low popping noise, but it's noticeable when you're using the phone in a very quiet environment
Both of my Gnex have the issue. One has a whining noise, the other a hissing for 3 seconds then pop. I'm sure it'll be solved if and when Google releases a software fix for it. It doesn't really bother me and I have very sensitive hearing, you just learn to tune it out. It shouldn't be doing this in the first place, but **** happens eh?
Yeah, this issue happens to me as well... though I was able to make it better. I pulled the battery for ~30 minutes and help power button with no battery to drain all current. After rebooting a few times, the issue seems to have diminished and I can only hear it when I have the speaker right up against my ear unlike before when I could hear it sitting on the desk.
Nope

Anyone notice thier speakerphone mic volume during a call is super low? Everytime I make a call and turn on speakerphone, the other party on the call cannot hear me very well. However, when I'm on Skype and using speakerphone it is extreamely clear and loud. Any Thoughts?
*Update*
So I noticed the galaxy S 3 uses the microphone on the bottom for speakerphone but the Note 2 uses the one on top. I've always thought the top mic was for noise canceling and real nothing else. I just don't know if I should get a replacement phone or if it is something that should be fixed with updates.

I'm not worried about the actual speaker volume. I was commenting on the outgoing mic volume while on speakerphone. In other words, the person I call can't hear me very well while I'm on speakerphone in a quiet environment.

I thought it was the mic. I use speaker phone and always pointed the bottom of my phone towards me. this phone, sane prob as you, no one could hear me. as soon as I realized the mic switches to top,I turned the thing upside down and problem was solved. make sure the top of the phone is pointed towards you and not the bottom as you'd assume

I just used my speaker phone just to see how mine works. I had the phone 2ft away with top hole speaker facing me
And then I switched to normal talking. And my friend couldn't tell the difference between me using speaker phone and normal talk.
I know this is old but i can't find any other info on this issue. When i click on speakerphone during a call i have to speak into the mic at the top of the phone and i have to put my mouth right up to it. If i back up one inch they cannot hear me. The bottom mic does not work. Is there a fix for this?

My guess is you have a conflicting setting in Perseus...I have seen a few others mentioning a similar problem.
Thanks for replying...I trued with stock kernel also and same issue. I think my next move is to reset and see what happens on stock ROM and kernel.

HI
I just got my nexus 5X yesterday but there is an annoying sound when i press some button or unlock the phone. i can not find where should i turn off this sounds. Any idea? It sounds like windows 98!!!
on youtube you can find a sample video what i mean just search: Nexus 5X Strange sounds
Is it vibrating when you hear the "sounds"? There have been some people that have a vibration motor that seems to make an audible sound.

You mean they don't all do that? I ordered two and they both do it. Doesn't bother me, though. I got an 6P also but I'm liking this phone for the feel. 6P outperforms this phone but it is big and heavy.
