Speaker noise at low volume - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone!
Today i've noticed that when I turn down the volume to the lowest level, the volume level before muting the phone so you can barely hear it, I can hear a static noise coming out of the speakers if I put it veeery close to my ear. This happens when playing games, listening to music or doing anything which has sound. If a turn up the volume i cant hear it anymore.
Is it happening to everyone? Is it normal?
Thanks in advance

I haven't tried it (my background is a bit noisy to test right now) but I think I've read that its a software issue and not hardware. I can believe that its software based also because you state that it only sounds that way at low volume.

Low Volume on G1 Speaker

Have you noticed the extremely low volume of the G1 speaker. i can bearly hear the audio whever i play mp3 or video files. Even the phone ringing is relatevly low compared to any phone i have ever owened!!!
Is there a way to alter the hardware setting and get higher volume out the speaker???
Seems fine to me, doesnt seem too low, mayb its the mp3 ur using. I raise the volume of my files with itunes, but even the default sounds on the G1 seem fine.

Yeah, adjust music/video volume using the keys on the side of the phone while playing a song.
I'm sure you already did that so.... there's a program called volume control that let's you adjust every volume setting the phone offers. Also, my speaker has never been that loud anyways but that program helps a bit.
Any one of you guys know where i can but a new speaker phone peace/thing for the G1. I blew mines out with the volume hack. -.- Thanks in advance.
I've noticed the low volume on Cyanogen's ROM, but on every hero ROM I've tried it seems MUCH louder.
I've noticed it too, but I've always used Meltus' AudioHack app to correct that problem.
The only thing I noticed on the G1 that is weak would be the vibrate. That is pretty weak.
My phone started doing this before donut was out. I was using Xrom, and thought it was the rom causing it. I'm running Dwang 1.13 now, and discovered that my issue is being caused by T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail apk. The speaker would work great until I opened VV. The VV apk, routes the media sounds through the headset speaker, like when holding the phone to your ear in a phone call, but it doesn't always re-route the media sounds (and ringer for that matter) back to the loud speaker. There is a hack/apk/widget out to fix it, claiming it to be a cupcake issue, but I only had it happened to me after using VV.
To figure out if you have the same issue, block the loud speaker with your finger and play a song. If it gets louder when you remove your finger from covering the loud speaker, then you have a different issue. If it stays the same volume, block and unblock the headset speaker to see if it changes.

If you are running MT3G/Magic You can also try this on the G1 to see if you get better sound
CM's system usually doesn't add the MT3G Sound XML
Download and run this: http://drop.io/tfwtv3d/asset/volmt3g-signed-zip
If this doesn't help, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517745
i had this more then one , dont know for sure bit this is after i did a switchrom, a simple reboot is a fix

I always cup my hand under the phone when watching videos, it boosts the volume a bit

This problem is really annoying, can someone post a link to the fix for me, I haven't been able to find it.
This also happend to my phone. Started with the last stable before the whole google thing with cyan. Tried a hero rom and it was pounden out sound.
So if anyone does have any insight on how to fix this, with reasoning, that would be nice. No "i did this and reset and it just worked" stuff.
Thanks
Also wish my G1 would be louder when a phonecall came in. My older HTC Juno was extremely loud which I prefer because Im not where my phone is 100 percent of the time.
I would also greatly appreciate some insight on how to make the speaker louder with some tweaks and or apps.
Thanks in advance.

Use Meltus' audio hack, it makes the phone really loud. I suggest using g7-6r2
Aye, that should do it
Also, for people experiencing routing problems, my files might also fix that too.
The G7 files included fixes so that they would run on the Cupcake/Donut/Hero/Sapphire. It might fix it, i'm not promising anything though

+1 If your G1 is quiet download Audio Hack from the market and it will not be quiet anymore. People tell me all the time, "dude your phone is ridiculously loud". I love it..
Meltus' app is amazing, i used to hate when i went to show everyone a video from youtube and you cant hear nothing when your out in public. Def recommend it to anyone who thinks their speaker is low.
Meltus Audio Hack.
Your welcome.
My G1 speaker is terrible!
The other end hears constant echo, and it's very soft for me to hear anything.

[Q] Low in-call volume

Hi,
I'm new to the HTC 7 Pro, I only have the phone for a week. I like it but I have an annoying problem with it: the in-call volume is too low. It's OK for the Office/Home environment, but it's barely audible in a crowd... Of course the in call volume is set to the max and I tried the registry settings to increase it to 15 but it only changed the volume steps, not the volume level...
Any idea to fix it? Can I fix it by flashing different/older radio firware?
TIA!

If you don't mind being overheard... speakerphone on low on your ear is a physical fix.

Half jokingly I came up with the same idea But I haven't tried it. I'll try to take the phone apart and clean the speakers but I have to collect some braveness first...
I wish I had that problem. The ear speakers are a bit loud for me. what's worse is at minimum volume, it's impossible to hold a conversation through headphones; Its so freaking LOUD!!

[Audio issue] Moto G annoying hiss/static noise

been lurking for a while to find a solution for this problem but I haven't been able to find a solution so I thought I'd register
So i'm experiencing an annoying problem with my Moto G
there's this hiss coming out of the speaker when doing anything that has something to do with sound really (like opening apps)
the first thing you hear is the sound of the app opening but if I listen closely and keep the speaker close to my ear I can hear a kind of static noise coming through the speaker for about 3 seconds after the app sound before it abruptly stops
I can constantly hear it when playing a video or song with the volume muted. it's not really noticeable when you're not using earphones, but i listen to music quite often when at school and it's really noticeable with earphones in. the hiss becomes less noticeable as you turn up the volume but it's still noticeable and really annoying when listening to quite parts of songs. plus I don't feel like damaging my ears just so I don't have to hear the hiss. the hiss abruptly stops after about 3 seconds after pausing the video/song
From what I've read on the internet this problem seems very common with HTC phones and G2 users.
Any other G owners who are experiencing this problem?

[Completed] Why is my audio so loud, and is there a way to turn it down?

When I use the Hongmi for music or even YouTube, I turn the volume to one click most of the time because it is so loud. On headphones
the sound is unbearable if I'm listening in a quiet room or even in a car, it's still too loud. Is there a reason this is happening or is it just
system settings that are unchangeable?
Hi there,
About what device are we talking about?
Thanks
I'm talking about the Xiaomi Redmi. .

Crackling sound from both speakers

i think it started recently
while i hear music especially when skip tracks (or sound stop&play) even in the menu of the phone is abit different in some apps
when i turn down the volume you hear it less "loud" (sound like blown speaker)
maybe software related? (i hope not hardware)
did it happen to anyone?
