Popping and distorted sounds on notifications. - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I used to have a Nexus 6 when it was first launched. Now I am contemplating buying a Nexus 6 as a 2nd phone and wanted to know if the sound distortions that would appear when sending messages through hangouts and messenger has been resolved with 6.0.1. It would also distort the notification sound upon receiving messages or emails.
If I remember correctly, the sound would also be apparent when locking and unlocking the phone. This used to drive me crazy. Anyways, I just wanted to know if this has been fixed. Thanks.

Now that you've had 6.0.1 for a while, have you noticed these sounds reappear at all? I really want to get this phone again but really couldn't stand those popping and crackling noises. I was always pretty sure it was a software issue but want to make sure the last update fixed it.

Been running 6.0.1 for a while now and I get that little distortion/ducking when receiving a notification. Some do, some dont, maybe unlucky devices......?

Oh no my vibrations :(

All my vibrations aren't as strong I guess you could say. And the haptic on the 4 bottom buttons don't vibrate at all when I press them, but what's weird is it makes a slight click noise like its trying to vibrate. Whhat should I do? I updated my cm6 nightly and it didn't change. I'm about to try a different rom. Is this something HTC would fix?

Really? Not a single reply wtf. Would they fix it? Its rooted

If it's hardware, they'll fix it assuming that it wasn't a software issue that caused the hardware. When I sent my unlocked/rooted device in for rebooting issues, they repaired it free of charge.

[Q] Speaker Turns on when making call

Hey all,
I recently (2 months ago) got a brand new HTC One. It's been great so far, love it.
Only issue I have is last week it started going to Speakerphone mode when making calls and receiving them. All I have to do is turn off the speakerphone to get it back to earpiece but it's slightly annoying.
I've tried resetting the device to no avail.
I'm running on the Rogers network in Canada running Kit Kat.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks!

I had the same problem...it eventually got to the point where only speaker would work and not ear piece...now..the only thing that works is if I have it connected through headset...cyanogenmod fixed all my problems....any sense romss I try to use, give me the same problem...if u don't mind changing tons..jus install cyanogen...but if u find a solution, let me kno, cuz I can't find any info about it or a solution
Try deactivate chome browser and see if it solves the problem.

I tried that...didn't work, but may I ask why you think that?...Or some info onto why u think that
Still goes to Speaker phone even with browser deactivated. Arg. It's still under warranty but I'm nervous the ****ty refurbished phone they send me will be worse than this one.

I'm having this issue at the moment, occasionally I ring people and the speaker phone is automatically on.
First time it happened I didn't notice and someone answered as I put the earpiece to my ear, nearly burst my bl00dy eardrum!
I'm running ARHD 51.0.
Having the same issue since about 1-1.5 weeks or so. Using ViperOne 5.5.1 with latest FW and Elemental X 13 kernel.

Same here after upgrading to 4.4.2 with sense, never happened on GPE

The weird thing is that i have been on 4.4.2 for a while now via ViperOne and this issue has just recently popped up (or so it seems to me). So not sure if this is related to sense based rom running 4.4.2. or something different.
Well I do feel slightly better that I'm not the only one. But also wished I wasn't part of this so special group. Ha!
After a little googling people seem to think it might have something wrong with the docking mechanism.

Mentioning the dock makes me wonder if those who've looked thru the call settings have looked thru the dock settings to see if there is an option there to open with speaker phone on? Or in the headphone or bluetooth settings. My feeling for looking in these places is that if for some reason the device thinks it's connected to one of these devices that could be changing it's behavior? Anyway, I don't think I'm having this issue but I rarely get calls and usually when I do I use speaker phone, but I'm also pretty sure that I'm having to turn it on also.
HTC replied to someone on Twitter to boot into recovery and clear cache who also had reported the problem...they showed instructions on how to get into stock recovery and do it. I'm wondering if anyone can try that. Either stock or custom recovery.

I'll give it a try today and get back to you on the results.
I know a full reset doesn't do the trick so it's worth a shot.

So far so good. Tried calling home and my voice-mail and it didn't happen. It doesn't necessarily start up right away however so I'll have to keep an eye on it. I'll respond back here when/if it reappears.

So i guess this is a general sense 4.4.2 issue then and not custom rom, kernel, other specific. Strange that it seems to only start after a random amount of time as i deffinately did not have this issue for quite some time after upgrading to 4.4.2 based rom.

Hangout Notifications

Is anyone experiencing any issues not getting notifications in Hangouts? I only get them 10% of the time, no sound or icon in taskbar. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it didn't help.
I am using hangouts for my Google Voice number, so I don't know if that makes a difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fabio

Ya, I noticed this morning it was doing the same thing. It might be a google issue also. Going to so if it clears up by later today.
I have the same.
I have the same on a Samsung Galaxy Alpha. No messages are coming in unless I actually open the app, then everything comes flooding in all of a sudden.
Push notifications are working fine for all of my other apps.
Hopefully this gets fixed soon

It seems to be working fine for me now. Must have been fixed on google's side.
I use hangouts for 8-10 hours per day constantly for work. During that time period I am signed in on my work laptop and for about 4 hours of that time, I am also signed in on my home laptop, and of course my phone is always signed in. The only times I ever miss notifications is when I am in very poor coverage with my phone AND I am actively using hangouts on one of my laptops. I experienced the same behavior on my S3, Incredible 2, and Eris. I have never not received a notification when I was not signed in to 2 or more devices in nearly 5 years of using gtalk/hangouts for 5 or more days per week.

It was a pretty widespread issue last week and was well reported online..so you must have just not noticed that they were coming in delayed.

Last week I took Tuesday - Friday off so I hardly used hangouts at all other than for some SMS so I must have missed that.

Audio Starts Loud Then Lowers

So my best friend just got a Nexus 6 not too long ago, but seems to be facing an issue where all Music/Sound starts playing loud when you first start it but after a few seconds the volume becomes very low. We have flashed custom roms as well as used stock and still face the issue. We have searched the forum threads and cant seem to find anything that fixes it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had this issue and replaced it no problem. This motorola qc is really bad

Hi,
@VeryCrushed , @Tsoflyyup
I have the same problem, Can you try to connect the charger and see if the problem persists? My phone seems to have this problem when the charger is not connected and the battery has a low level.
I had the same problem. However, as soon as i use any custom kernel everything is fixed.

No sound on calls ANY ONE WITH INFO WOULD BE HELPFUL

So I install a custom ROM on my Nexus 6 on T-Mobile network, after a few days when I call someone they can not hear me and I cannot hear them. It works fine when I install the ROM and will also work if I re install but then stops working after a day or two, happens on both Chroma and Liquid smooth have not set back to factory yet cause I really don't want to do that anyone else have this issue
