Hi guys. Just received my Nexus 5 today and it has been working perfectly. Only thing I noticed is that the haptic feedback motor is a little loud. My other phone is a Nexus 4 and it's definitely louder than it.
Anybody else noticed this or maybe it's my device.
Thanks.

Did you receive a replacement? I have exactly the same problem but some say it's quite normal.
Stick with it, mine quietened down after a week or so, just like the N4 now... Maybe just needs bedding in?

To be honest, that seems normal to me. The defect with the vibration motor is only if it makes a clicking /chirping sound when typing. That signifies that the vibration motor had been fitted incorrectly.
Your video just seems like it's fine.

It's not normal, maybe you can't hear because of the audio quality of the video.

My vibration had burned due to overclocking too much my phone was overheating and one day one of the vibration motor cable had burn.. Now i dont want to mess with the little cables and stuff like that so i just want to get the whole part. Does someone have one or know where to get it please let me know need it asap
I think that is a poor diagnosis as to why your phone is broken.
Do you keep it in a case? How many times have you dropped it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
Just a guess, an Adult store? They's got vibrators. Oh my, I crack myself up.
Well yeahh i got case on it and i have dropped it a lot of times already. I can upload one pic more where there is a black spot on a cable like its burned or something

Of course after its retutned to stock unless you bought outright.

The phone is already costumized and i think it was my fault with the vibration motor that i have accedintely burned it by overcloking it too much. Theres no problem with no speaker the ringtones work perfectly and i did returned to stock and vibration is still not working.
Hey guys! Tonight I just noticed that my external loud speaker sounds really weak and low. I have it turned all the way up and its low.. I know my battery life is in the yellow with 21% left. Does the phone lower the volume when battery gets to a certain point? This phone has been flawless. Now I'm afraid it has a problem

I think the obvious thing to do here would be to charge your phone and see if it goes back to normal. Agreed?

Agreed. Lol. But I just did a google search and found several people complaining about the same thing. They said the phone was working and loud speaker was fine. After a few weeks the speaker was really low.. They restarted the phone, and it was loud again. But after a few days went back to being low. Maybe software issue?

It's possible. I haven't noticed anything like that with mine but then again I don't use the loudspeaker that often. I'll have to pay attention to it now.

I just charged it thus mm ironing and rebooted it. Same problem. I would like to avoid a factory reset. I went through 3 different phones within a month. Not the One x. This is my first. They're going to think I'm crazy for walking into att and tell them there is a problem with this phone now. I see the same people all the time.

Hello,
Only the loud speaker is affected? Headphones work fine?
Do all types of sound have the volume problem, Calls, Videos, youtube, Music? Does your ring tone come out at full volume?
Do you use google nav or any other similar app that outputs commands and such through the loud speaker? I ask because I read somewhere (maybe here on xda) that people were thinking it was maybe due to such apps.

Ok so today I found out that the volume does not change with the last 3 or 4 pushes of the volume up button, it does not increase. Nor the same for lowering. It's like its stuck at 60% volume. What do I do..? Return it for a replacement or stick with it?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I have the same problem, only noticed it the other day when I decided to play some music the volume was really low on the external speaker so I decided to make a phone call and the volume seemed low in both the earpiece and external speaker so out of dumb luck I decided to restart the phone. Volume got louder in both but eventually got lower again after a few days. Also, noticed that the external volume doesn't seem to change with the last 2-3 clicks up or down.
Hoping this is a software issue since otherwise it works great, don't really want to return it and possibly get one with other issues.

This is the exact same problem I am having now.. I too noticed that the ear volume is low as well. I did restart the phone. It worked good for a day. Then same thing. I too am like you. Hopefully there is a software fix for it. I called at&t. They said That HTC handles the tech support for the HOX. Maybe you should call them too and complain. If they hear it from someone else, it might be good.

I did talk to HTC Tech Support and was told there's NO Issue with the volume on the device and was given a number for Repair which I haven't called yet.
And yes, it's last about a day then it gets lower.
it has to be a software issue, im experiancing the same thing. got a replacement today because of it, and when i was in calls it sounded like i was in a tunnel? no case on the phone.

My first one x was a ht24 model that came with 1.73(I think that was the version correct me if I'm wrong) and had the same issues after about a month. My replacement is a ht23 with 1.85... I haven't noticed the issue with this phone but will look into it now and see if this one has it.
Sent from my factory HTC ONE XL unrooted and loving it..... kinda not really... I made a promise I wouldn't root :-(
I've noticed a very similar issue with my One X. I keep my phone at full volume and every once and a while the volume from the back speaker gets a bit quieter. Nothing seems to fix it, except for rebooting the phone.
I accidentally switched on my speaker during a call and it turns out the other person cannot hear me i then tested it using my other mobile and i cant hear anything when my in call speaker is turned on ( it works with the headset but not the speaker) .. is this a hardware issue or software?
That sounds like a hardware problem. I use my speaker and don't have Any problems

Hardware defect. My first nexus 5 had the exact same problem.
I got a new one and no issues.
So I have this issue on my Nexus 5 where when I record something, it makes this HORRIBLE background noise, extremely bad, and I was just wondering if any of you guys have this as well? Because I just got my first RMA on Wednesday, and I don't want to have to get another one, was wondering if you guys know what it's about, and how to fix it and if not so that I can get another RMA.

I did actually, most of them just gave descriptions of a small hissing sound in the background, and the only page that i've found a post similar to mine, is a article, in which people can only comment, and they describe their issue to be a bit more like hissing and not this almost rain pouring down kind of noise.
I wouldn't make another thread for something I know is already out there.
Can you make an example recording?

It's there on the google drive link.
By the way I'm on Purity ROM with r35 from franco, on ART and with Viper4android, that's about it, issue began today, in my house while I was recording a video of my dog.
That's about all there is to it. I haven't done anything else to my Nexus 5 other than that
EDIT: now I'm almost sure it's not a software issue, i tried other cameras such as Snap Camera and the Instagram camera and snapchat camera, and they all have the same noise. Unless the noise cancellation is the issue, and all these apps use the Nexus 5 noise cancellation feature.

That's really loud but is it always like that? Perhaps its a result of your environment. What if you cover over the noise canc mic?
Its not so much hissing that's the issue. The sound is cancelled when it shouldn't be

Thanks, I just tried that, and it's not the environment, the room during the recordings is dead quiet. I tried covering both mics. but the issue is still there. and no, it wasn't always this loud, from what I remember, it was working fine at the beginning of the video with my dog, and then suddenly that weird noise began
Not sure if you're rooted or not but to rule out software, do a full wipe. Still a problem? RMA. There's definitely a bigger issue there than the standard issue as shown in my video
