[Q] Can the speaker be modified? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can the speaker in the Nexux S be replaced with a louder better quality speaker? Is there a tutorial or mod out?

I have seen no such mods, however I believe Supercurio is planning on adding a gain mod for the in-call volume.

I noticed at the highest volume the Nexus S starts to clip/distort. If the gain mod is applied, will that only increase the distortion?

[Q] Speaker Volume WAY too low

Differently from others who find that headphones volume is low, I think that what is really low is the speaker volume.
Using, or should I say trying to use, this phone for a call inside a car using the speaker is impossible... the volume is too low and the car noise, even at lower speeds will be higher.
Is there a way to increase the volume without changing kernel or rom? Maybe some system option like the one that can be used on ATT LG G2.
Thanks.

There is currently no system boost. I have to say when the phone was delivered I hated everything in the sound department with the Nexus 5. The volume is erratic my 5 year old daughter loves nextflix and the playback is so quiet even she was like where's is the volume boost. I am sure there will be a software fix by developers or google soon, well I hope so.
Hi of you use volume + this works to increase the sound always

What do you guys use to boost your sound?

What apps do you guys use to boost your sound? The built in speakers are ridiculously low and I can never watch anything without using headphones. Is there any specific app out there that boost the sound significantly without distorting too much?

Some people report good results with Xloud. I prefer headphones. Bluetooth rocks.

[Q] why my phone's speaker volume is low?

I bought nexus 5 a month ago. from then i don't know weather this is the problem or the volume of speaker is built low. i am getting very low ringing volume . while on cal its loudspeaker volume is very good and while on head set volume is also very good. only problem is while ringing a cal or while playing music via loud speaker the volume is below average. i went to service center they just took one more nexus 5 which they had(that one was other customers phone which has a software bug) and compare it with that phones speaker that phone is also giving same volume. but i have read reviews that its speaker has very good sound. and it has around 65db sound. my friend has iphone 5 it has 68db which sounds very good(while ringing). but mine with less just 3db difference is not even half i think. i saw in internet lg released an hardware upgrade so that speakers can be changed is that correct? how can i fix this?
This is a well known issue.
You can flash this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532788
There are a few other methods as well. You can also look at viper4android or faux sound deal.
I use the sound file called sedna..with no fixes I can hear it clear across the house even without full volume.

It already exists as a selectable ring tone under Sound settings.

You`l have to root to increase loudness, read the first 4 threads in the General section first first first first and don`t use toolkits
It isn't a defect, all of them are pretty quiet. I just flashed franco kernel and used his app to boost the speaker volume. It's almost too loud now...the lowest setting was the highest one before.
