Is the loud distorted sound firing from speaker bothering you guys, Google now claim is a hardware issue. Though I won't turn up my music so loud to produce it, but still find it a flaw.

But I thought earlier got others fixed this issue by using custom ROM, so would thought more of a software thingy.

Contacted support for tech support, then once problem was not solved based on their advise, they redirected to return department which sent me the shipping label & RMA form with instruction + gotta pay the full amount of the device for deposit in case trying to fly kite after I received the replacement device. It was in April 2016.

I see. Mine was a few months before that. So it seems it's become more troublesome to ship it back then. But I suppose if we use the same courier, they would know what to do with those codes? :) I mean, we still pay for the shipping lah, but use that shipping label/code.

Can't use the shipping label for International shipment, since the shipping label was only meant for domestic UPS ground shipment.

I think the cracking sound is just a little bit nit-picky. Not really a critical issue. Software side could probably just limit the highest volume.

Not bothered by the issue.

With the crackling issue on maxed slider, it almost sounds like one of those Sony Ericsson phones years back with disgustingly high treble lol.

Don't run max volumes and it doesn't affect my daily use.
