Weird auto-volume issue - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

About every other night, I play audio off my phones speakerphone while laying in bed. Since last night, I noticed that the volume was noticeably increased without it being touched! If I were to guess, I'd say it does it once or twice every 2 to 10 minutes.
Also similar issue on Bluetooth - except the volume turns down completely to zero! Kind of getting annoying.. The phone has never been dropped and the case has remained on it for several months. Possible ANT app update or something? Please help
Thanks

Touchscreen ghost?

Hi guys,
I've had my G-Nex for a few days, and mostly love it - but on two occasions now, the touchscreen has acted up. I'd put the phone down, and for a few minutes, it'd randomly select things on the screen with me nowhere near ( the other day it kept opening the People app). But a minute later, it'll be fine. Touch inputs are flawless when I'm actually using the phone. It's totally random.
Anyone else with such an issue?

I never had any problem like that. It's just a thought but do you put your phone where there might be magnetic interference nearby, like another electronic device? I'm not sure if this can happen with phones but some types of touch input can go crazy because of that.

If you are telling me next that it only happens while 2G is being used..
I had the same thought, but both times the phone was on WiFi, in my house. I've not once had the volume problem, and am also on Orange (1800mhz)...which, so far, seems unaffected by the volume ghost.

I don't want people to think that i am a general moaner, but it did happen to me the first day i got it whilst i was viewing cached apps is the settings menu. Its like your finger is still on the screen. I haven't experienced it since though.
Something like this happened to me with the Nook Color. As far as I know, it's not a known issue for that device so I'm guessing there was some interference I was not aware of. UFO's maybe.
My Palm Pre+ is doing this constantly. I will be pretty upset if I get the Galaxy Nexus and it does the same.

nfc causes headset interference

hello all. i was just wondering if anyone else has this happen on their gnex. I went to plug it into my cars aux in port for the first time so I could listen to some tunes and noticed a lot of background hissing and clicking noises when the device came in contact with any part of me. If the phone was just chillin in the cup holder it was gravy but the moment I picked it up or set it on my lap the clicking would start again, being most pronounced when touching the back battery cover. Knowing that I had nfc on and that the chip for it resides in the battery I tried turning it off, and low and behold the clicking stopped. has anyone else noticed this issue? Granted its not a big deal by any means but if it's a hardware defect on my device I would like to know. thanks for your time
No, but I will try it tonight after work and see what it does and report back. This is the first I've seen/heard of this issue. Stock battery, extended? I have the extended on mine FYI.
This happens to me randomly, even without NFC enabled. I normally can fix it unplugging and plugging the headphones a few times.

im using the stock battery, i will switch this gnex battery out with the battery from my first nexus that had defective radios that ive yet to send back to amazon. just to see if that makes a difference
actually, this is a 4g issue guys. I noticed this with my thunderbolt

Crackling Earpiece

I just got the gnex two days ago. yesterday, shutted off phone, applied xo with lots of solution, let it sit for 5 hours. powered it on, made 2 calls, used light for 2 hour then let it sit by the window overnight.
RIGHT NOW. still has bubbles. when making calls, clear crackling from earpiece. dont think its the caller problem too.
running aokp b31 with franco r121.
could it have been the solution? should i stuff it in rice or something?

My GF has this problem constantly with her phone. First one we took back to VZW and got a replacement, 2nd time about a week ago they pulled the SIM card in and out and that fixed her problem for the time being. I haven't been able to find any rhyme or reason because its an on/off thing for her, and she won't let me root it to see if changing a rom helps. Wish I had more answers for you though.
Just go and get a replacement the nexus apparently doesn't have a water indicator.

Buzzing during call

Does anyone get interference on the earpiece during a call. Its like a ticking noise but doesn't happen all the time. Its almost as if the radio is interfering with the audio. Also when the phone is in standby and I put the earpiece to my ear I can hear a faint ticking. Anyone else?

yes i have the same at my d855 during a call. this is an annoying noise...
I noticed this too, but only when you set sound to highest setting. When you lower it a bit, there is no such problem.

I noticed this during calls on my first D855, not tried a call on my second one yet as I only got it last night..
I made a post about this over a month ago and it was pretty much a dead thread. On some other forums, they said to just swap the phone. I went through 3 different ones at Verizon and I've got the same issue. This supposedly was fixed on the G2 with a software update so I'm holding out for that. And during this round of swaps, Verizon magically charged me $100 extra and are taking their sweet-ass time refunding it to me.
Same here, exactly as described in the first post. Is it hardware issue? Thanks

After AT&T software update, audio output is crunchy with screen off

I've had my Note 7 since it was released on AT&T and actually love it. I was a bit reluctant to go back to Samsung after my Sony Z3Compact, but the Note 7 really wowed me.
As a commuter, I use the bluetooth audio 3 hours every day in the car and often either plug in headphones or use a set of bluetooth buds while I'm doing chores around the house. Until Saturday, audio output was phenomenal. Saturday I got a notification that there was a software update available, so I thought nothing of installing it. Since that time, my audio (BT, built-in speaker, or plugged in headphones) gets static-y when I have the screen off. Turn on the screen and everything sounds fantastic again. Short of reformatting the phone (or rooting and rom-ing, which I'm not even sure is an option yet), I've tried everything I can think to try to get this issue cleared up.
I'm willing to experiment, so throw your suggestions at me. I've searched around and haven't come up with any other users experiencing this issue. Any help is appreciated.
I've had this issue occasionally with my Tmobile Note 7. It hasn't received any updates yet. I noticed plugging in the charger also stops the problem.

More info: on the ride home today, I switched to Google Play Music and put on some music that would give me some pretty clean audio... No crunchiness,no static. Seems it may be related to Pocket casts.
I'll see if some setting or other got tripped.
Any suggestions on THAT are also welcome.
Aha! I may have it sorted now.
I had also bumped the playback speed of my podcasts to 3x (from 2.6), so I figured I would check to see if that's the cause and taking it back down to 2.7x seems to have fixed it!
Whomever is in charge of the things can close the thread.
