Hi, I've been using a galaxy s6 but wanted to try the Nexus 6 since has stock Android and bigger screen. But... audio like You Tube, Play movies, Music, everything comes from top speaker grill, not both, I thought this phone has stereo speakers. Is it like that by default or would I have to replace the bottom speaker? Also I can't get text messages notification, always quiet no matter which sound I choose. I get phone ringtones and media but not messages tone. I'm stock right now but was doing same thing with PureNexus rom. Thanks.
If you just got it return it. This is a problem with some N6 phones along with static during calls. I had to return mine about a year ago for both. The new phone has been perfect.

I got it on craigslist and can't get a hold of the guy either, I'll learn from this one. Thought about trying to fix it since parts are kind of cheap and it seemed it's not that hard taking it apart. Thank you for responding.
I get this issue on my N6 sometimes. A restart would fix the issue. I don't know if it's the same case with yours.

My wife and I have both had Droid 4s since release day and aren't experiencing the issue.
I have had my droid 4 since the day it was released with no such problems. The only I can think that would cause speaker problems is if:
a) dust and gunk are getting stuck in the speaker
b) the connector for the speakers is becoming loose... do you ever try and clean around the edges of the phone, like in between the bezel and the frame? If so, you might be damaging a connector when you do so...
Other than that, maybe its a factory issue, it is a very thin top piece that holds the speaker and the screen, etc.
Hope this helps...

I started having this problem about 3 weeks ago and I've had my D4 for about 2 months.
Guess I need to call in for a replacement...what a pain. I used my OG Droid for almost 2 years without the need for a replacement. Then I picked up the D3 and went through about 6 phones in 6 months with a move to the D4 hoping things would be better.
What's the suck trick? My wife's is one day old and ear speaker sounds blown

suck trick
The suck trick is, if u suck on the speaker with your mouth it will temporarily fix the speaker.
Same issueI
I bought a Droid 4 two months ago and about within a month it started up with the same thing you are speaking of, a tinny, blown speaker sound coming from the ear piece. I did the whole sucking speaker deal and it would fix it , only to sound like junk again later. I returned it to Verizon, where they said that they had not heard of anyone else having the same problem, so Motorola sent me a "like new" Droid 4. I have had this phone for a month and just this morning it began with the blown speaker garbage again.
I looked more into it and read that it could be the glue which is holding the speaker in heats up and fails, causing the speaker to release from where it is seated and with that rattles, or vibrates, giving the effect of a blown speaker
This would make sense why by sucking into the speaker it stops, because you are basically popping it back into place temporarilly
Either way, I am returning this phone later today and plan on telling Verizon, I want a new one, not some "like new" refurbished piece of junk. I paid for a NEW phone, not one with problems motorola "fixed"
I hope all works out next, cause I really love the keyboard and could've gotten a Rzr for a few bucks more.
try running this app 2x times. once normally with the bol up and another time with the vol up during a call... fixed the sound for me

I believe this app is meant for the speaker on the phone, not the earpiece that people have problems with.

I just got a "like new" replacement phone for having the same problem. I had my phone for about five months before noticing a problem with the speaker. I had the same problem on four different DroidX phones. Verizon acted like it was such a big deal, and they'd never had any problems with the Droid4. The woman at the Verizon store tried to convince me that my Otter Box case was causing the problem. Verizon's customer service department is such a joke sometimes. So far so good with my replacement though.

if you make a call and run it it runs in the earpiece.
to clean it right
1wipe it off
2 clean it with a airduster if you got one
3 with a q tip and a little bit of alcohol
4 dry it than call you house and pick up the phone
5 than run the app incall 3x times
it should be good than
also in /settings/sound/speaker settings set it to custom turn off surround sound and turn the eq to bass punch or lower.
My Nexus 7 has horrible speaker distortion on every piece of media as soon as I turn the volume above the 50% mark. The distortion gets worse closer to 100% and makes the speaker unusable at high volume. Is there any way I can fix this short of placing some bubble wrap under the speaker grille? I'm not prepared to do that since it'll void both my warranty and the 2-year insurance policy that I have on it.
Note: This seems to be ROM-independent - running both stock 4.2.2, stock 4.1.2 and Paranoid Android 3.0+ nightly seems to exhibit the same issues.
I had this problem. I just got a warranty replacement. There is a thread that says people were able to fix by removing the cover and pressing on the speaker. Didn't work for me.

Nexus speakers suck and blow, just like a shop vac.

I know NOTHING of this place, just happened to find it the other day. I plan on buying a new assembly for mine eventually, I have (temporarily) fixed them half a dozen times.
The same thing happened to mine last week. I messed around with it pressing on the speaker and it didn't seem to fix it. The next day I tried again and the "distortion" went away. If it happens again I will send it in for fixing.

Why would you send it in for 3+ weeks vs just buying a $12 speaker assembly?
I'm hoping this problem is just one bad handset and not epidemic, but I have been hearing VERY consistently from other people that they are having trouble understanding what I'm saying. It is not location specific, I generally have full or nearly full service, and I can hear them just perfectly. But I have been hearing from many people that I talk to about this problem.
I'm going to exchange the phone and get a replacement, assuming this is just my phone and not an HTC ONE problem. Has anybody else been hearing this? If so I may regretfully end up with an S4 =\
I have been having issues as well. Just tried to exchange for an S4 at sprint store and they wanted $35 dollar re-stocking fee. Going to deal with online/phone people now. My HTC One is dropping calls, calls are not clear, and lower data connection in the same environment than my old EVO Shift. Wanted the phone to work out, just didn't.

Mine is working beautifully call quality is awesome on both ends and data conection was faster here in boston when put up against my buddy's s4 (also sprint) there were some issues with speakers and radios on some of the HTC ones... mostly the first batch that went out to people who pre-ordered, myself included, but so far i'm issue free.
be warry of that s4 you picked up by the way many people have reported display issues... don't worry though I believe they are software side... people reported black bars appearing on the screen when scrolling I'm pretty sure it's a simple software bug.

Didn't have one for the first 5 days, had it the last 2.. same problems consistent throughout.
i'll confess I use a Bluetooth headset, but the very rare occasion I use the handset I've never had an issue
I was having the same problem, then I realized my pinky was always covering up the microphone. Went 2 days where people were like I can barley hear ya.

It wasn't the pinky for me. As I stated in another thread, I think it's something to do with over-aggressive or poorly handled background noise cutting, or a major problem with dynamic range control going from loud to soft etc.
started actually using the phone for phone calls this week..I'm hearing "its hard to hear you" and "you sound far away" more then I've ever heard before...
It's definitely not the point for me. It happens all the time, most of my calls are using a airave so I'm wondering if that had something to do with it.
Anyone know if this is a sprint related issue? Should I be exchanging my phone?
Yeah she was fine for a week.... then after work Sunday it just failed.
No touch less controls, no google now
People can't hear me in calls unless I scream and even then they just great noise
:/
And now I must go a week or two without a phone?
Ugh...
I may go and just buy a nexus 5 just to not wait... But I've really loved my Dev edition.
Any one had this problem?

I was putting my screen protector on and I guess the solution got into the mic. It wasn't working for a few hours. I also had to scream at it to get it to work.

Yeah I'm just returning mine, I don't have 7 days to go missing work calls :/ , in the mean time I'm going to buy a refurb Nexus 4.
Freaking pathetic that the mic breaks after a week.
They'll overnight a brand new phone to you. Just saying...
Does the phone fill with the water？ Perhaps it's the problem.
Once my phone was taked in water, and I used hair-dryer to make it dry. then it works well now.
I've been through 3 of them and i'm getting my replacement today. I know this sounds silly but ,but diid any of you happen to have just put on a screen protector? I ask because to forums ive seen recognize this as the problem. defective screens.
I had the same problem, but I had my X since November and all of the sudden it went bad. People couldn't hear me on calls, no Google now either it was just dead.
Went to Verizon store they checked the phone and decided to send me a replacement.
I got my replacement 3 days later and guess what FREAKING same problem with the replacement phone, it came with a broken Mic. Went back to Verizon and now they are sending another replacement. I don't know what's the deal with the microphones. For me it seems that the opening it might be too exposed to dust and with time this gets into the mic. I might get my replacement today.

So I got a brand spanking new Nexus 6 and right out of the box I had a issue where it thought the headphones were in, I wiped it flashed stock ROM and custom ROM still happened, called in for warranty and tmobile sent me a refurbished one that clearly had the screen replaced cause you could still see the plastic under the glass. Well last night the brand new one stopped doing it and is now working flawlessly, I'm thinking about keeping the new one and calling them and telling them nevermind but do you think it will happen again?? Should I just keep the referb?

Yikes this is one of those things that's best left up to you BUT since you are asking lol. IMO I would keep the new one seeing that it's brand new, not sure how visible/or even as to why there is plastic under the glass but it would bother the crap out of me knowing the screen at one point had to be replaced for whatever reason. Again this is just my personal opinion

Motorola can't build phones. Every nexus 6 has static through the headphone jack. If someone says there's doesn't. They aren't using the headphone jack or they are def. Mine has done it from day one and the only way around it for me was to install a Bluetooth receiver in my truck and my home receivers. Hate this hpone but stuck with it for another year. I'm
I use the headphone jack frequently and am certainly not deaf. I haven't encountered any static, so perhaps I'm simply lucky.

I'm in the same boat, that makes 2 lucky people lol
I've never heard of that issue before, but I've never had that problem myself. I just a corded pair of earphone. No bluetooth.
This might sound crazy but it worked for me with a similar issue with the headphone jack controlling my volume/speakers - blow into the jack to clean it out. A bit of debris in the jack had mine acting crazy for a few weeks.
I would actually be furious if I were to receive a defective device that I PAID for and when I notify the carrier they go and send out a replacement that's refurbished? What kind of bs is that, either you send me a brand new replacement or refund me the money. I would've given T-Mobile hell over the phone
Dont have static headphones. I have static speakers tho. Yes, these phones are built pretty bad lol.
perhaps check if the headphone jack is clean or try cleaning it.
