[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
I am glad you sorted it out. I've had 3 replacement and all was same along with clicky/rattling noise from the vibrator. I concluded that it's a bad design and poor QC for this price. I returned it and now I switched to iphone 6 plus for the build quality. I am really picky about the detailed quality. I've replaced nexus 5 5 times until I got the right one. I love Nexus SW but not the HW. I don't want to deal with this Nexus 6 replacement game any more( even AT&T flagged myself for too many replacement, wtf?). It's been great fun with these Nexus 4, 5 and 6. I just wish Google and mfr could control their HW a little more with the price. Now I am peaceful.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Sorry I'm still confused? It still happens on your new device in some situations?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilson289:
Nope, sorry for the confusion, the static is gone on my new device. I was referring to my old ones.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scothern99:
I guess my issue is a little different. I do not get the white noise or popping sounds. Example: I was listening to music the other day, google play music, streaming my music library on LTE. It sounded great. After about 30 seconds, the volume just got progressively lower, and lower and lower. It was very reminiscent of an old walkman when the batteries would start to die. Then after about 3 minutes, the volume would be so low, it was just gone. I could stop the song and start it again, same thing. It really sounds like a software bug to me. Bluetooth is fine. I can stream to BT without issue. I have not tried headphones yet as I do not own a pair. I think its ins some sort of over volume protection on the Front Facing speakers. If i heard the white noise, the popping or static, I would think hardware issue. Pinched wire in production or something, but this to me, just smells of software glitch.

I am unlocked and rooted, but still encrypted. I do not want to flash back as its a headache. I never really tested it prior to this as I went for the root and unlock as soon as I got the phone. I do have a Day 1 model from T-Mobile. I ordered it, with much drama, from their corporate office and it was overnight shipped me the day it became available. Perhaps its an early build issue.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George_Mn:
Okay so here is what I've got to deal with:

Mine will have these noises when the battery is low and I'm laying in my bed playing clash of clans. I don't know why it only occurs there, it might be the vertical position in which I hold it?

So what happens is, that the top speaker will start to make these static noises, no matter how I adjust the volume. Even when turning media volume down to 0 it will occasionally still make these noises.

What has ultimately happened is, a long static noise like when you receive a call and your phone is next to a speaker and a shut down. It just wents off. Happened twice.

Today, during the day, I checked my phone and it was off. Battery was almost full...

The thing is I bought it on Craigslist and as I'm leaving the place I got it after Christmas (and not coming back), replacing it shouldn't be an easy thing to do...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Reboots? Sounds like a different issue, no one here has had those symptoms
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scothern99:
Well I called T-Mobile last night. They are going to replace my phone under warranty and send me another one. So, I'm guessing I have to un-root and re-lock and basically go back to stock right?

I will post a follow up in a couple days when I get the replacement and let you know.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
You have no problem of clicky rattling noise on the vibrator? That was another big issue for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazzo31:
There is a thread about that. We get to the conclusion that its the IS moving freely when vibrating. It happens more when using hepatic feedback.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scothern99:
Well, got my replacement from T-Mobile last night. it seems to be working fine so far. Sending the old one back today. So keep this in mind guys, this appears to be hardware related.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
I've played with almost 6 units and all had the noise. Some has more some has less. My current one has little noise but can live with it because this one has almost no rattle from vibrator when type.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scothern99:
Well, knock on wood this one seems fine.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themrjason:
Just got my first replacement yesterday and it has the same problem. Calling T-mobile today to get another one sent out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
One thing I notice is that 5.0.2 aosp ROMs have less noise than stock 5.0.1. Seems like its both HW and sw problem to me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brmajor:
The worst for me is when I am calling someone. I hear a lot of static on the top speaker. I noticed when I switch to 2G the problem disappears. Wierd...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seas98:
I got my Nexus 6 last week, and I started noticing a buzzing sound when on a call. I've tried to reproduce it, but it doesn't happen on every phone call. One time that I reproduced the buzzing sound while on a call, I noticed that if the display turns on while on the call, the top speaker starts to buzz noticeably, but stops when the display turns off. However, I have been on calls when the buzzing sound was constant but did not check to see if the display was on during the buzzing sound. I was driving when I first heard the buzzing sound and thought it was related to poor cell coverage, but I was able to reproduce the buzzing sound on a call, while stationary, in an area with good cell coverage. The buzzing doesn't happen all the time, so I don't know what triggers it.

I've also heard the white noise that others have mentioned here. When I pause a video or song, I can hear the white noise out of both speakers but the white noise will stop after a couple of seconds...so that doesn't bother me. It's the buzzing sound when on a phone call that bugs me.

I'm stock 5.0.1. I didn't root the phone. I tried when I first got the phone, but I couldn't get the drivers to properly load on my Windows 8.1 laptop. However, I noticed that my bootloader was already unlocked. If I do a warranty exchange, do I need to lock my bootloader? Will I get denied an exchange if Motorola (got the phone directly from Motorola) sees that my bootloader is unlocked?

Update: When I tried rooting my phone, the phone was stock 5.0 and the bootloader was unlocked. After I gave up trying to root my phone, I loaded the OTA update and am now on 5.0.1 which resulted in locking my bootloader. So the unlocked bootloader being a potential issue for the warranty return is not a problem anymore.

All has it. some has more some has less.

Just received my second unit today due to rattle in the vibration motor and top speaker noise. Touch wood this one is fine..with little or no rattle..running 5.0.. But unsure if I should update to 5.0.1.. Not sure if I would benefit?.. Any suggestions?

Just got mine delivered from Tesco Mobile UK. Same white noise from top speaker. Already phoned them to arrange exchange. Will inform when ill get new device.

Strange buzzing sound during music playback

Recently I've noticed a strange and very annoying sound that happens while I'm listening to music with headphones or plugged in with an aux cable. I was able to find a video on YouTube of someone experiencing the same thing on their Nexus 5 running KK.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XZSef6fuKU

The sound happens around 25 seconds and 51 seconds. On my phone can happen a lot more frequently/close together.

I've experienced it in the following situations:

Streaming using Google Play Music, Dash Radio, SoundCloud

Playing locally stored mp3s using Google Play Music and VLC

I'm on 5.0.1 with faux kernel and Xposed. If anyone has any info on how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it. I may be crazy, but I feel like it's happening more and more often. It's to the point that I've stopped listening to music if it requires plugging in, which has made my drives to work pretty lame.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hand76:
I noticed while playing Minecraft today some static/noise in top speaker. Only when the game was making in game sounds

So far that's the only thing I have heard it in. But it's only on the one speaker

Hmmm seems with a full battery the problem has gone away. This just happened yesterday when I was under 30%
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magullo:
Strange noise here, especially on low battery (under 30%) and on loading. I noticed using Firefox, while loading pages the top speaker makes a noise like spinning disks (really!), and after a few seconds it stops. Asked for RMA. Cannot believe a phone that costs so much has such diffused flaw.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TR2N:
It is a software bug that will be fixed with 5.1
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxione:
Please report if new phone is better. Also have this and a hissing noise during calls. Cant hear it when ppl talk but in the silent bits there is a scraping/hissing noise. Happens on 3g and 4g but not on 2g.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magullo:
why do you say so?

As far as I read it looks an hw problem, since not everybody is experiencing the problem, and sometimes new devices coming from rma don't show the problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TR2N:
Because the speaker hardware is the same as it is in the Moto X. It was also confirmed in the Google Product Forums.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magullo:
could you please link me the issue? tomorrow. I'll have to start my RMA, but if the device is not faulty I would like to keep it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TR2N:
The info with the hardware is from a Motorola Support Technician. When you think about it it should be clear. So many devices can't suffer from a hardware defect.

Here is the link:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magullo:
As far as i can read, Google said they cannot reproduce the issue first, they suggest to return the device afterwards , and they are still investigating. As far as I can return my device, and since there's no official confirmation, I have to think is an hardware flaw.

Did Motorola say something ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TR2N:
If i were you, i would also return my device. But let me say something:

I am on my fifth device now. The first four were bought from Motorola. Motorola has the worst support i ever experienced. The first two Nexus 6 had problems with battery expansion, the third and fourth one had some productions flaws like scratches and loose buttons. With the forth one i also got my money back after i told them to do so. My current device is bought from Amazon, after Google Play the best support you can get. But last but not least: All devices had problems with the top speaker. On this device now it is not so noticeable. but it is there. Music/Video playback and Phone working great. I will keep it because it has the best build quality i got so far. I don´t want to RMA it again. Sad but true..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magullo:
[MENTION=4603145]TR2N[/MENTION] thank you. Why do you insist with N6? I know I am OT, just curious .
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TR2N:
I really don't know. I like the phone. But i was near going back to the five..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaelYanez:
Issue in both speakers!

I'm experiment that issues but in both speakers, not only in the top one. Is that something bad? :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magullo:
I simply cannot think of having a device (which costs a lot of money) with a problem with the speaker. From the moment I realized that there was something wrong, I kept listening for even the faintest sound. White noise from the top speaker, popping sounds while locking/unlocking, noisy "spinning discs" during heavy load and low battery.

All this make me think is better to return my device and get my money back . [MENTION=6485276]YaelYanez[/MENTION] you should understand if you can live with this, like many other are doing, in the hope is a software flaw which will be corrected (maybe) in the future.

Sorry.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veesix:
For what it's worth, I have a Note 2 running stock lollipop 5.0.2, and I too am experiencing some cracking sound from the speaker. Not during calls, but with notification sounds. This makes me think it could be sw related.

Do you guys experience the issue during calls too?

P. S. Ciao magullo, sono giuseppe.p dal forum di hdblog ;)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxione:
That is good to hear. Not that you have problems ofc :) But that it is a whole other device running lollipop with the same issues. Pointing towards SW problems. I have noise in calls aswell. In the quiet parts for example between dial tones I can hear a sound from speaker, like a intermittent sound. Happens on both headphones and phone speaker and on 4g and 3g but not on 2g.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pemell:
I just enabled encryption and regarding cracks and rispy sound it seems better.

Maybe someone else who have this issue can test?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoff:
I get the issue all the time. It sounds like the speaker is turning on, but there is no sound, just white noise. It reminds me of the sound my noise canceling headphones make when I turn them on, but don't have anything playing yet. I don't know if it is so much a clicking sound, as it sounds like the phone is about to play a sound, but instead doesn't, and just has white noise for a 1/2 second. It's slightly annoying, more because it draws my attention thinking a sound is coming, but not a deal breaker. I'm guessing some app is sending a request to the speakers, but with no sound (almost like it is a blank/missing mp3 file)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantas:
I am seeing this on a brand new Nexus 6 from Verizon running CM 12.1 (5.1.1). Kinda thinking about exchanging it for a new one, anyone think I should? Never had this happen on my Note 2 running CM 12.1 so I don't think it's software either...really annoying actually...

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billycar11:
i would say try another if you got it from google play i would exchange through them because they always give new ones Motorola always wants to give out refurbished phones if you cant do if through google play try asking Motorola for a new one sometimes they will but depends on who you are talking to.

Nexus6 issues

I had the same issues with the device i received from Google last week. I called in the next day and asked for refund.

Its very frustrating going through RMA's , google needs to step up and acknowledge the issue and provide a fix.

How has it fared with everyone after receiving multiple devices through RMA ? How many devices have you guys received to finally settle on a good one ?

i really love the device and would like to order one again while the $150 off is still on Google Play.

Hey guys, thinking of RMAing my 50 day old nexus 6 for this but I am afraid that Motorola will give me a refurbished device. Any experience with getting a refurbished phone from Motorola as replacement?, do those devices have a lot of problems? as they are not technically new.

I kinda have this problem too.

When my phone is below 3-5%, top speaker will start rattling and i know that it is gonna shut down soon. But no problems when the battery is above that

I get that too but when battery is even normal, I get get a static/white noise when I am on call or doing day to day things. E.g. Click on google voice button again and again to notice it making static/white noise from time to time. It occurs when the volume boosts up from 0 to 100 or falls from 100 to 0. Try and let me know.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romdroid.:
Yeah well that's the reason why I won't sent it in. First of all the problem is not hardware related as a guy already replaced 4 phones all with the same problem. It's a software issue

Mine occurs when I'm on YouTube mostly... If I rapidly touch the screen, the sound is really loud and disturbing
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefanakiman:
Yes. I have this problem too. I hear it when regardless while switching users on my phone. Now, when my phone goes onto low battery (less than 15%) and I turn off battery saver, the noise occurs. It is louder or quieter when I have certain pages up. I've noticed all of this since my most recent update (5.1.1). Since this update I've also noticed an extreme drop in battery life. I suspect this is all caused by the update, but I'm not too sure.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLoverMan:
i only get it on boot
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinC#1:
I think people are experiencing different issues. I have noticed these:

- Audio clipping (garbled sound) when a sound begins to play

- White noise (hiss) during audio playback

I believe the white noise has to do with the electrical engineering of the phone, some units just come out of the factory better than others

The clipping is probably audio driver related

On my phone it's very subtle and I doubt most people realize it's there
