Hi gurus,
my N5 pumps quite a low volume from the speaker... In particular, looking at the screen, the bottom left grill gives a reasonable output while the right... really low volume. I was thinking about RMA when googling, I found an article which states that:
- there's no left and right speaker on N5, just one speaker
- left grill is for the speaker, while right one is for the microphone.
If so, then my N5 is absolutely "normal". Could anyone confirm that the left grill returns significantly a louder sound ?
Thanks in advance
Just tried what you describe same result my left speaker plays louder
Sent from my NeXus 5

So... I assume that different sound volume from the two grids should be considered normal... not a defect.

There is only 1 speaker. Any sound you're perceiving from the other grill is purely leaked sound.
At this point, I thought everyone knew this. Mostly all phones on the market work this way: The G2, the iPhone line, etc...HTC One is one of the only phones that have multiple speakers.

Tried covering the left speaker holes at the bottom while playing audio almost completely muted the sound, covering the right has no effect, sound can be heard.
I know this is normal for an iPhone 5s as it only have one driver extending the sound to the other speaker holes, but is it the same for nexus 5?
Edit: it is a monospeaker on the left, Sry for posting such stupid question -.-!

Nexus 5 has a mono-speaker and it's quiet as hell even at max volume.

I'm not religious at all, but I do presume that if hell existed, it wouldn't be silent
Hi there, I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered before but after a search I found no answer. I read on some other similar post that the Nexus 5 has two speaker looking outs in the button, the one in the left is the actual speaker and the one on the right is a microphone so therefore no sound will be coming out of it. But what about that speaker looking thing up top in the middle? As far as I'm aware it is a front speaker but I'm getting no sound at all when playing music through there, haven't made any calls with my N5 just yet so I was wondering if this speaker only works to output the audio when making calls?

That is the speaker for phone calls. It has lower volume but better fidelity.

Thanks a lot! I knew it was kinda common sense but I figured I'd ask before I panic and RMA my phone haha.
Nexus 5 Only has 1 speaker.
Gave it a test and yes, you guys were right front speaker is for phone calls only. Bottom left speaker is a speaker and bottom right is a mic, thanks!
Sorry if this has been asked before. I have tried Google and haven't found an answer yet. Is it possible to use the speaker on top (used for phone calls) in conjunction with the speaker on the bottom to increase volume? I understand that front facing speakers would be better when to comes to sound compared to side or back facing ones.

Underpowered battery for a 5inch 1080p screen that is non-removable. Weak generic antenna that drops signal. Worst speaker of any device on the market. Weak vibration motor. Power button rattles. Cheap plastic build

Can I use the top speaker on the Nexus 5 along with the bottom speaker in order to increase volume?

Buys a $400 phone, expects it to be as good as an $800 phone.
Really? You people are ridiculous. This phone is amazing and all you can do is point out the small negativities. Go buy an $800 phone on contract for $200-300 and shut up please.

This. I'm tired of all the sissies nitpicking the Nexus 5.
Has anyone noticed that the bottom speaker volume is lower than the top one (ear peace) when playing music? or is it only me?
I did not notice it before because I always use headsets but today I spilled some juice on it and washed it under the sink water after that I played some music just to see what's up and noticed this uneven volume coming out from both speakers. I will let it dry and see if it was the cause but has anyone else noticed that?
And if you are talking on the phone using speakers only bottom one works. Is it normal?
Yes they are different but I think it's intentional because not only is the volume different, but they each put out different kinds of sound if you notice.

Yeah I did notice the output of the sound is different from each speaker. I already thought I have faulty unit and wanted to return it but now you saved my worry <3 Thank you.
I wouldn't say that it's intentional as if Sony wanted both speakers to be different. It's normal though and to be expected because the speakers aren't identical. The top speaker is of higher quality.

I just wanted to know if I am not the only one with such situation. As I mentioned before I did not notice it until I used it. Thank you for replying.
Hi, I recently got my A7 and this one thing is bothering me since day one. For some reason my right earpiece is louder than my left one. I am not using the included headset but rather Apple Earpods as they have a better bass, which is kind of important to me. I checked Adapt Sound before any of you ask, I have the default profile enabled. Is there a way to make both the earpieces be on the same lound level? Thanks
Interesting. I also seem to have the same problem. I wanted to have my left ear checked by a doctor for this .
No idea why this is the case though.

yeah I had the same feeling until I realised that if I put my left earpiece to my right ear it was the same level as if it were in the left ear.
Also for me this only happens when I have in-ear heaphones, over-the-ear one's sound normal
I was wondering... is RN7P able to output stereo sound? If you go to CIT (settings->my device->all specs and tap kernel version 5 times) and choose test number 12 ( play music by receiver), you can hear music coming from... well the receiver (earpiece). It is loud enough, although not as loud as a main speaker, to hear it at normal volume levels. So does anyone have any idea/experience about the possibility of enabling stereo sound with a mod or something? My last phone did have stereo sound, and the sound from the earpiece was a little quieter than the main speaker, just like in this case.

Hi,
I copy here a question posted on another post (sorry, i'm quite busy, can type a new question here)
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Hi,
I just installed the global rom miui_VIOLETINGlobal_V10.2.8.0.PFHINXM_997265e49a_9 .0.zip on my brand new RN7PRO china 6/128. No problem for the installation but, I found out that only the right speaker is working under all condition. I tried with MP3, Games, youtube, and other audio files.
Now, I don't know if depend on the rom installed or is a device that is expecting to work like this.
Anyone can tell me if both or only one speaker is working??
The phone has only one main speaker (on the bottom side, to the right of the usb port when you are looking at the screen), if that i what you mean.

Thanks, mate!!!!
that's was exactly what I was looking for! :cyclops:
I will look into your question and see if I found something.
Thanks, again
PS: So, the other "holes" that look like a speaker on the left side of the USB looking the screen...what is it?? very big microphone??
The holes are there for aesthetic reason, to preserve the symmetry of the device.

Yes, the holes on the left side is for the microphone.
Like other said, they design it symmetrically for aesthetic reason.
