I'm a Nexus 4 owner and for the last few months, opening Snapchat has made a really weird analogue clicking noise. The clicking noise has progressed over that time and now my phone will constantly make the same loud clicking noise whenever I touch the screen. It sounds very similar to "sparking" two wires.

I can reboot my phone to make it go away (for about day, but after that the clicking comes back). I've never dropped or scratched my phone.

The camera issues on the Nexus 4 are ridiculous. Google has done absolutely nothing to address the issue. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure Snapchat is doing really stupid things with the camera API, since the stability issues are not nearly as pronounced with other camera-using apps.
