Hi everyone,
I did the speaker mod to my nexus 5 (hardware mod) but to be honest i'm not satisfied about the quality of the audio.
I saw a video on youtube, this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLbXtMKnXys&noredirect=1 and he says that a new module sounds better that even the modded one.
Does anyone has tried it?
Thanks
Interesting. Does this means those new batches should assembled with the new speaker..?

well really don't know... and it's the thing I also would discover. If new devices are equipped with a better speaker module it could have sense to buy it and replace.
Thanks
did anyone tried the new module?
quick, to the RMA thread!!

HardWare mod didn´t work for me. 4.4.1 improves volume substantialy but not quality.
Waiting for a new speaker already ordered in eBay. Seller told me that batch >1024 sounds better than my 0906. In few days I can tell for sure.
On an italian blog, as a comment in the news regarding differents dimensions speakers holes ( http://www.tuttoandroid.net/news/nexus-5-novita-hardware-161927/ ), an user posted this:
Well, since when He treated the larger holes , the difference in sound would not have been so varied between the two versions. But the problem is that the form was also changed internal speaker , I have both versions forward since the first one I bought at launch had the problem of the display to yellow and then to me this morning are to be replaced and I own the copyright got the new in which are present the larger holes such as in the article. Taken from the curiosity to understand why in the audio playback is a huge difference between the two and not believing that the improvement was due to the larger holes , I removed the battery cover and surprise ! ! The speaker module is not equal , has been replaced with a different one. My advice to all those who received less than 30 days from the phone : fatevelo replace contacting customer service google , because you have 30 days to get refund or replace your phone. So now the old revision have withdrawn and will come to you the new one.

and
What I ordered is output Rev 11, instead what I got as a replacement is Rev 12. Please contact support and tell them that google finds the low audio problem that they already know, or that you have your phone with the display to yellow, you replace it with no problems if you are still within 30 days of receipt of the phone.

Where can I read the batch number?
rev 12 exist?
I don't know... currently there aren't pics of fastboot screens that testify the existence of a Rev.12 version, no there on XDA and seems not in other parts of the world...
But the first zip file of OTA 4.4.1 was received from a guy in Italy that posted here the URL... the first Nexus 5 with bigger speaker holes was received from another guy here in Italy (that says it's still Rev.11, and audio is almost identical to his another Nexus 5 with smaller speakers holes)... you see that also the first Rev.12 Nexus 5 has been shipped to Italy lol
I'm going to investigate :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for letting us know a new module is available. I almost bought an older one.
Just picked up one from ebay for $14 shipped: HH_SKU_2_1113 (the one in the video is HH_SKU_2_1024)

Sorry to say but this problems is not solved. I have just ”test” this crap of software and destroyed the speaker. The owner (Mike Reid) of this sw not even alert me about the known problem with burning the speakers in the past. I did not know them only AFTER it happened to me. May 29 was a black day for me. The main problem was that this guy not even try to compensate me even it was 100% his fault. He did not warn me about the problem. I found later (to late) about this problem it happend to others also. I have ordered the speaker from Ebay (it was 3,5 usd and the transport was free of charge) so he could easily ”clean” his fault.
So guys, take care about the risks with this sw.

Happy for you that you have no damage. Sorry to say but a physically damaged (as was mine) is not repaired by reinstalling the kernel or even the whole rom. Anyway I will try no more on any other phone and advice all my friends for that, because of the risky you can have. More than that, even if there will be no risky in the future for this software, the guy who made it worth no cent because of his behavior. Such persons who don't care about what happened to others (and I repet, it was 100% his fault because he didn't warn me) worth only loathing from me.
Still using it fine here...

Once again. I am not telling you all not to use it. I was told my experience just to warn you that you could have this situation. As I told before, if Mike warn me about this possibility I, and not him, should be blamed for my try. But more he has a strange behavior after I acuse him that he is quilty for that. My background teaching stops me not to show our correspondence to a public view to see the real man behind this software. Piece of crap. For me, a human been is more important than a couple of bucks spend to repair something...

Not right for you to call another human being a piece of crap though. Mike does a lot of hard work and I don't think its fair for you to throw him under the bus like that. Be the bigger man over a $3.50 speaker..... You've been bitter for EXACTLY 6 months to the day in this thread. Get over it
Guys, loving the N5 but HATE the speaker, i have run custom roms, tweaks but frankly - my opinion, dire !
Has anyone though about a replacement, better alternative ?
As gonna dive in and possibly take a look ?
Thanks
When have you EVER heard of replacing a proprietary speaker in a cell phone with an "alternative" or "upgraded" speaker? Let alone there even being one available?

This post is no different than the other 50 post complaining about the speaker in various ways. There are zip files to flash, kernels with sound management, and so on. I don't think anyone has attempted to replace the speaker, although they have stuck a hot needle into the holes to make them bigger Some guy has attempted to put the g2 battery into his nexus. You can be that guy attempting to put a new speaker in his nexus 5.
Good luck

Your obviously NOT an engineer and i would also guess, have not alot of foresight either, it's called lateral thinking, out of the box.

Yes, obviously I'm not an engineer; I'm just going by the years of experience with phones and NEVER seeing a "upgraded replacement" speaker available for a phone...ever. :good:
Couldn't you just plug in whatever external speaker system you desire? Coupled with V4A you'd have a nice music setup.
Just don't use the top 3 volume levels when using a 3.5mm accessory as it has serious cross talk issues.

Just wondering but since I got my N5 and GF got Moto X on Monday, I can really tell the difference in speaker quality between the two and I use my phone to play music quite a bit. Has anyone just replaced the speaker in the phone? Is it even possible to purchase the tiny phone speakers separately?

OK, so you point me to an old thread that has no real information besides a few people saying they haven't tried it. Thanks.:good:
Your best bet is a pair of external speakers IMO. Otherwise software mods can push the built-in a bit further.

I was afraid of that. After watching a few teardown videos, it doesn't look like just any other cell phone speaker would fit. Seems like a proprietary setup.

If your willing to root your phone then install Viper4Android. No need for any other change. Check out the dedicated N5 and Viper4Android thread in this forums themes and apps section. The difference will be stunning for speakers, earplugs and bluetooth.

1) It's not really old.
2) It shows what the search function exists for
3) It gives you the same answers you would get if you asked (as this thread proves!)
Galaxy S7 screen not responding to touch sometimes. The bottom portion of the display is affected. I tried 6 different S7 and all of them have the same problem, test yours like this and tap gently not hard, when you press hard you press 3mm on the screen and that is a lot ! The problem is worse when the phone is cold (20C) This is annoying because the place where its not working is the same place where the space bar is and the "." Does anyone else have that exact problem? Here is a video of the problem : https://youtu.be/OW_FQBMcuOE
IMPORTANT !
Install Phone INFO app (green adroid logo) see when the phone is manufactured, mine is 2016.02.18 ! maybe the first batch of the production have that problem! We might be on something here!!!
There are two threads already open with this situation.
I have this problem at the same location you demonstrate. The right side has this problem too. From bottom right to the top 1 cm and 2 or 3 cm up you are going to reproduce the same thing.
I get used to it but it is very annoying. Never liked Samsung because of this things. They use low quality material all around. I will never trust them.

Just received H9 update and the release notes did not mention anything about LCD, touch screen or anything related to it.
But since the update, I've been trying to reproduce the problem trying to find the blind spots and for my surprise I did not find anything. The touchscreen is perfect and I can feel it is more sensitive.
Before the update I could reproduce the problem very easy! Now it is perfect.
The update here in my region (Brazil - ZTO) was about 170MB. Samsung Cloud was introduced.
Wow, mine was manufactured 2 weeks ago (2016.08.16) and I've owned it since about the 24th too, so it was 8 days old when I received it

Can confirm working on s9+
Only problems I've had is Bluetooth car phone calls apparently sound like garbage to the other person and when the phone call ends it doesn't tell my car it's ended and when it resumes music it sounds like someone putting sound dampening material on my speakers. I have to turn my Bluetooth off and on again and it's fixed.
Also popup view isn't working correctly. The X at the top where you can drag the popup to dismiss it won't leave until you stop the process which is just a quick restart for me.
The original post says dual cameras isn't working yet but it does for me. I have normal and telephoto buttons in the camera app.
WiFi calling also doesn't work. Nor does device care.
I also feel like my Sprint LTE slowed quite a bit. Nothing loads nearly as fast on data.

Well it's not really sold for 1000 ... It's about 700 on Amazon. I bought mine for 600... In a year's time it will go for 500...refurbished 400 yet I don't think any X's will sell under a 1000....
still s9+ is not to be played with unstable Android from xda... It never will work as factory intended...
Anyone wanna play with Android's, buy xiaomi or oppo...
Anyhow, if u hold s9+ in hand vs xs, iPhone easily satisfy double the worth....
