Headphone jack buzzing....

I recently noticed that when I have headphones plugged in to watch a movie and if you place a little pressure on the jack, or press the bezel just to the left of the jack, there is a buzzing noise.
Can anyone else see if this happens to them?
Thanks.

yes, but it's not that bad for me, my problem is when I put too much pressure on the bezel around the hdmi port, the sound goes off and the screen has little black and pink dots and lines all down the external screen, however, if I lay it flat, this is not a problem

Thanks for the reply...good to know its not just me, but concerning that the build quality of these things is hardly stellar....the price for being an early adopter I guess

Nexus 5 speaker lint, or mono sound?!

Hey folks, I was messing with my phone today and inadvertently covered up the left speaker on the bottom which reduced the volume by 90%. I covered the bottom right speaker, no appreciable change.
It looks like the right speaker is full of lint! Any pointers on how to get that out of there? Maybe I should pull the case open rather than jamming needles in there?
Then I was reading this article

And it said the Nexus 5 has a mono speaker. Waaaaaiit a second. There are clearly two speaker grills in the bottom. Doesn't that mean stereo sound? I thought I had a lint problem, and now perhaps they're just fake holes?

Nope, just one speaker. The second grill is only for aesthetics. Sucks, I know.

Ghetto!

It's not just for "aesthetics".. There's a mic in there!

This thread made me laugh LOL. But on a serious note yes the right grill is a microphone. It's the phones main microphone for say when in a phone call or recording video that's what it uses.

Yes it's funny. There are a million threads about this, yet no one uses search before posting.

K1 Speaker may be faulty

Just wanted to ask if anyone who has the K1 about their speakers
I feel on my unit the sound coming out of the top speaker is louder than the bottom speaker is that normal? for example at max volume I can feel the vibration of the sound from the top speaker but not the bottom.
Also I can make the bottom speaker frame click by pressing on it like the plastic is slightly separating (This in particular is concerning) but I wanted to see if it was a manufacturing thing I cba RMA'ing for a replacement just for that to have the same issue.
It happens when you press on the top of the bottom speaker with your thumb kinda like jiggling a tooth you'll hear it and feel it move.

speaker are ok for me..
About the clicking it depends..
On mine it's not the speaker that move but a little click came from the rear tablet panel...but it's definitively not faulty...only normal plastic assembly

I've got the clicking when pressing around speaker grills on both top and bottom edges. Not sure what to think about it but I don't like it. Might return it and keep the Dell 7840.

Do you get sound through both bottom speakers?

I thought the audio speaker volume was a bit low and noticed sound is only coming out of the left speaker hole. It's really obvious if I cover up the holes in turn. Could you tell me if yours is the same please?

There IS only one speaker...

Ah, well that would explain it. Silly me, I thought - two speaker holes = two speakers!

One is speaker and the other is the mic

Silly me thought the exact same thing today. I randomly put my phone up to my mouth and noticed the sound went away after covering just 1 side.
Thanks for clearing that up guys!

Doubut about speakers repair

Hi,
This xperia have 2 speakers, one in the top and one in the bottom, they are the same? Because I changed them but they have the same size and I'm not sure if I putted them in the right position. How I can know if the speakers are in the right place? Like how I know what speaker is for the top
PD: the speakers work but the sound of the videos and music are a bit low

Yes, both the speakers are the same. Just that top speaker is more loud and the bottom one isn't that loud as the top one. That's because the bottom speaker is fitted inside the antenna module and to see that it's waterproof the bottom speaker isn't as exposed than the top one. :fingers-crossed:
