One or two speakers? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Our dive have one or two speakers at the botton side? I'm confused if it's one speaker, one micro, or two speakers...
Thank you!

%100 definitive answer.
Don't bother asking reviewers, websites, etc. They generally look at the grills and say "dual-speakers."
It is not.
One speaker (the left grill).

Yeah one speaker the other one is microphone

Is the right grill at the bottom really a microphone? I read that the right grill is simply a dummy speaker which means the mic would be somewhere else on the device.

Surprisingly, I use a full size sony headphone with ear cushion and notice no decline in battery charge compared to the out of box ear buds. The sound is much better and not too cumbersome. Price? ,,,about $40 but usable on the home stereo also.
i use a pair of meelectronics m11+ that has an inline mic control, these can be picked up for around 30-40
I got a pair similar to the oem headphones, off of Monoprice for a few bucks. They have a half dozen to choose from.

I found the OEM headphones quite terrible sounding. Now I an using UE TripleFi 10vi. It's very natural sounding and it takes advantage of the wolfson WM8994 DAC with voodoo 6 control & audio kernel by supercurio.
Yeah amazon has the best deals for headphones. As long as the title says OEM your good to go. I was about to buy a pair but I'll just wait till my current ones die out on me from sweat or the plug in messing up like all my other headphones. They've lasted quite a while though.
I use the black berry premium that have the music controls on them. However the music controls only bring up your calls list and dial your last number called. Sound is great.

Yeah, the stock Epic 4G headphones are pretty dope on their on... With Voodoo Control. Funny that I ignored them for the first month and a half thinking they were crappy. Wasn't until I checked on forums like this did I see people post positive feedback on them.
I use the headphones from an my touch 4G

What price is braking the bank for you. I could offer up a recommendation for your price range.
Believe it or not I got a pair of skull candies from fred meyer on sale for only $8 and they re great. The stock headphones have a mic though for answering calls. If you just want to jam though, get some skull candies on sale. They are awesome

Yeah, right. "And this one, I'm not too sure."
I actually just exchanged several emails with HTC support and they admitted they don't know what the holes are for, or whether the Sensation has noise cancellation. I even had to tell them it's got two mics because it supports stereo audio recording. Pathetic really.
Based on posts I've read from users noise cancellation either isn't implemented or doesn't work.
We all already knew they were for antennas and mic's
What the?
That video is a joke LMAO
I saw this before as well and the guy obviously just making up shiz
You can easily see that the holes are all at spots where the antenna contacts are on the back cover. Just not sure why.

My guess is that the holes (excluding the mic hole above the camera) serve a purpose during manufacturing and are insignificant beyond that. Probably for pins to go through that the machines use to properly align the antennae contacts.

The funny thing for a phone they emphasized the design on so much I can't believe they just left them there unless there was a good reason. I'm guessing the holes may help with the antenna reception.

Speaker phone echo

When I'm on speaker phone there is a really bad echo for the other person.
I googled it and it seems like its a wide spread issue.. but I couldn't find any solution.
Anybody know of a fix?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
I'm having the same problem. Also seeking advice.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
I looked into this a while ago and found out the echo problem was primarily caused by the back cover. If you remove the back cover, the problem goes away. I tried to see if I couldn't fix it by placing some tissue paper between the phone and the back cover such that the speaker and the mic were isolated.nothing really worked all that great. note that I don't really know any of the basics of acoustics or sound isolation, I was just trying out a half witted idea. maybe someone with more knowledge can figure this out? I solved my problem by getting a cheap Bluetooth headset, but still think it would be great if there was a simple diy fix.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
I've tried the suggested put a thin piece of foam, taking the back off etc... nothing seems to work.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
I found that I can Get quasi speakerphone capability by cranking up the volume on the earpiece. That way I can hold the phone a few inches away from my ear. But that's as good as it gets.
Is there a way to further push up the volume on the earpiece?
I was able to fix the issue using a small rubber band. I basically creating a small rubber gasket that makes sure the sound is pushed out instead of down the back cover and into the mic. It was trial and error, but it works!

Hopefully the pictures post correctly. I've honestly just been a lurker for several years from back when I had a g1 and mytouch. I finally have something potentially worth posting! If you go through the pictures, you can see I actually went a different route, and used these little spongy sticky feet from Walmart, because I was able to cut it in half to control the bulk. The blue rubber band from a thing of cilantro worked, but if you see the last picture, it was too bulky and I couldn't close the cover tight. You can pretty much get creative and make it work. Just make sure the sound is sealed to go out of the intended slots.

Very helpful! Thanks!
Off to Walmart to find the sticky pads.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
I hope it works for you! I did it to both my wife's and my phone and called several people to confirm it not echoing. I also hope Walmart has those feet as I bought them years ago when we had first moved and just recently found them in a junk drawer.

It was a no go. I am getting a replacement from sprint because my search button went out so hopefully the new (refurb) doesn't have the speaker phone problem.

Buzzing-Rattling Sounds in case.

Brand new One X from AT&T store on Friday. I've noticed when setting the phone down, or tapping the phone, there is a buzzing/rattling sound up around the camera/top portion of the phone.
WTF?
Phone hasn't been dropped. hardly used and in a soft case the entire time.
Guess I can take it back..of course it is rooted/unlocked...but whatever. I know the sales rep since we do business with them and probably would swap it no questions.
Does the white case come off the phone somehow to access batter? Thought maybe I could open it up and check it out real quick and see if it is something stupid..but don't want to screw my phone up either.
Thx.

Yea every phone has this rattling. Its the auto focus lense.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
It can also be that the sim card is loose when inserted. That was another culprit. I put some scotch tape on top and cut it to shape. That extra bit stopped the rattling and improved my signal.

FM Radio - working

I pulled the stock FM radio app from a non-verizon stock image .. You either need to have a writable system partition w/ root or need to push these with adb from TWRP or CWM recovery (after mounting the system partition from the mount section)
Here you go (de-odexed)!
put these both in /system/priv-app

The stock headphones are the worst. I can't figure out how such an amazing phone came with such crap headphones. Lose 'em and don't look back.
So is there a built in FM tuner in this phone or is it using the headphones themselves to tune radio stations?

I wholeheartedly disagree with you on this one. These are some of the best stock headphones I've used to date.

Well, I wholeheartedly disagree with your disagreement
Seriously, there's no noise isolation between the buds and the cables, meaning that they pick up way too much friction and impact noise from contact with your body and clothing; the control button is very flakey, and they're difficult to pack neatly for travel. And they just don't sound that great to me. My (listen-only) 10 year-old Koss PortaPros are head and shoulders above the HTCs as far as fidelity, isolation and frequency response is concerned. And while they're not technically as portable as the HTCs, they're actually worth the effort of taking along.*
I'm sure they have their strong points for you, but mine are hanging around only as headphones-of-last-resort.
* Am I the only guy that actually travels with no less than three sets of headphones? Bose QC-2s for in-flight, the Koss PPs for exercise and casual listening, and Apple earbuds for when I need to be mobile yet still able to answer the phone . . . And sometimes I bring my Mee AF-32s when I'm going to be in one place for a while. It's nice to be cable-free when the activity demands it, like cooking or doing chores.
