The handset earpiece of my Nexus 5 sometimes gets very quiet. It gets so quiet that sometimes I can't understand what people are saying. the volume is up high and fluctuates a lot. Is anyone else having this issue?
I tried making a call with grooveIP and I have the same fluctuating volume with that as well.

Does anyone else feel that sound quality is somewhat choppy during phone calls? I get full bars of 4G, yet sound quality seems to be a bit off.
It is not as clear as the G2x I came from or the MT4G before that.
I have the same issue
I have this same issue... the speaker and the microphone on this device are pretty bad... I hope it's something that can be fixed with a software update, or a rom. This is my second Sensation and it's the same problem but it seems to be worst on the second one. If people talk too loud it will crackle, and then people are telling me that my volume is too low when I'm speaking, and i have the volume turned all the way up
Yep I have the same problem. And sometimes when using the speakerphone the sound is soooooooo low

Many calls I receive the other user sounds like they have their volume cranked up beyond reason. And it is not he case.
Similar problem here. People who call me cannot hear me very well, the sound is a little bit choppy.
Does anyone have some information about the earpiece quality?
On the Nexus 4 the quality was very low as on lower volumes interferences from the wireless signal could be heard. Also i don't like phone on which the lowest volume is still much too loud.
Any experience would be very appreciated.
No we dont have any information. The phone isn't even in peoples hands with the exception of media sites.
Just wait until you receive the device and conclude for yourself (or wait for others for a full-review)
Mine's in my hand. The earpiece quality is excellent, it's very loud and clear, the best I've ever encountered!

Got my phone right here.. Already have it for like 6 hours (has been shipped today)... Did not test the headphone output yet...
Sound quality is excellent through earphones..Plenty loud..Im pretty impressed with the speakers to..More bass and clarity than the N4.. Turn the volume up on Dead Trigger 2 or listen to some dance music and you will see what i mean.
Ok, thank you very much for your answers :good:
I'm only interested in the earpiece volume. It's nice if the speaker is loud enough but i don't want the earpiece on low volumes too loud. Even more i like it if it's very quiet for on the lowest levels as i'm not all the time in a noisy environment.
If the earphone output is also quite low on the lowest level i'd appreciate that a lot. I had troubles with every Android phone so far, except the HTC One X+, beeing too loud. (And don't start a flamewar. Some people can't get it loud enough and some like phones who are able to adapt to the ambient).
Hi,
Can you tell me if you can control the volume with a wired headset ? (much like the iPhone... and unlike my Nexus 4)
Thanks !
Mine has stopped working...still makes a sound when maximising the volume but I cant hear anything in a call.
Is the Nexus 5 compatible with HD Voice on T-Mobile USA?

not as bad as N4
When on a call on the call volume is low you can hear a faint distorted signal. It kind of sounds like the phone is working on other tasks in the background more than a distorted signal to me. It's faint but kind of annoying when you realize it. The N4 was worse though.
Has anyone else noticed this is or is it just me?
Is anyone else experiencing a tinny sounding earpiece when on calls at a moderate to high volume? It sounds like the earpiece is rattling or vibrating, but I don't really notice it too much on music. The other phones on my T-Mobile plan (Note 4 and an S5) don't have this issue at all.

i also have this rattling noise, I wonder if it is related to the phone speaker ?
this happened to me on various calls to. It doesn't seem to effect music output or anything else though. Also it doesn't happen on all my calls & I've noticed it more on VoWiFi Hasnt bothered me enough as its not consistent and I use somewhere around 50-100 mins a month Haha TXT PLS.
Hello.
I've gotten pretty frustrated with using my 3a for a while now regarding this specific issue, the call volume is just always super low and makes using the default phone app unbearable because I can hardly hear the other person, it is ALWAYS at max volume btw.
I just genuinely do not understand why the call volume is so low whilst the other volumes (media, alarms, etc) don't seem to have this issue and I can even get additional apps to boost the volume for those- but not the call volume.
It seems to have gotten worse just several days ago when some liquid hit the grill , so now instead of it sounding like someone is 3 feet away from the phone, it just sounds like 6 feet away. But even with this situation, it did NOTHING to my other volume settings.
Is there anything I can do to improve the loudness at all without depending on headphones? I would prefer having the phone on my ear , especially since calls on headphones literally echo whatever gets picked up on my microphone back to me I just honestly hate it.
Get a replacement phone. That's not normal. My call volume gets loud.

Is that really the only possible solution here...?
Everything else is fine...I just cannot find a way to make the call volume louder, just seems like Im stuck putting it on speakers or using headphones at the moment.

Hello
I have the same issue, did you solve it ?
Hello,
I have the problem with sound from ear speaker. It is way to loud during call, so everyone around me can hear me. Even on the lowest volume, it may be heard around the phone, even though it is quiet when phone is on the ear. It is as if speakerphone is on during call.
Is this phone made like this, or my is broken? I have tried some fixes, but no luck. This is huge bother for me, so I'm considering to return it.
Does any one else have this problem. Previously I had HTC 10, and the sound during call was perfect.
