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?

Hardware defect. My first nexus 5 had the exact same problem.
I got a new one and no issues.

Updated my Nexus S from Gingerbread to ICS 4.0.4 (OTA), but ever since then, the incall handset volume has been extremely low - so low that I can't even hear the person on the other end if I'm outside of any 'quiet' (library quiet) room. Has anyone else experienced this as well?
Any ideas on how I can fix this? I've read that the app "Volume +" might be a solution, but I would need to root the device and its also not a guarantee. Would love to hear from someone who has had this problem and how they rectified it...
Couple of details:
- Carrier: Rogers (in Canada)
- OS: ICS 4.0.4
- NOT Rooted
- Samsung Nexus S
Thanks a lot!

Volume+ won't fix your in call volume, believe me. So don't go that route, you'll only waste your time. The Nexus S has always had a very low volume, but I didn't notice a change from 2.3.7 to 4.0.4 to be frank.

Thanks for the heads up. If you didn't notice a change, then I'm wondering why I did. Do you think its worth it to re-install 4.0.4?
Do you know of any workaround to have this resolved if I did root it?

I find it strange myself. If you look around you'll see the internet is littered with "complaints" regarding the Nexus S low volume, dating back to the Gingerbread day too. I'm not sure a re-install of 4.0.4 will help you.
I have never really found a workaround to increase the in call volume, so if anyone knows I'd be interested too. Rooted or not, I don't mind.
Maybe problem of headset? I don't use the stock one, I have 2 other headset, one of them was too low ,other one was just too loud even hurts my ears...

Not headset, handset. As in the phone itself.

I think, in your case maybe first to radio, try older one as we know ICS will update your radio to KI1

It's a known "issue" though, the Nexus S always had a very low in call volume compared to many other phones. It's not absolutely inaubdible, but it's definitely not your Nokia brick either. In a crowded place it gets difficult to hear, even with your ear pressed firmly against it. The speaker however does decently, but then everyone can hear your conversation.

More than once. The radio signal has little to do with the volume however.
I have same issue too, network call mic volume is very low, yahoo or skype or network call with loudspeaker on mic volume becomes normal
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.

I think it's funny when you call HTC, and they say they haven't heard of it. Lol.

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.
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.

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.
I tryed my friend's nexus and it's ok, I'm gonna rma another time cause the new device is defected too, this time has also got a display problem.

Hello!
Ive been having a very very unusual problem to where my phone (sgh -727) has no output sound at all! But sometimes suddenly speaks, thus telling the that the speaker works fine! Even after the phone's audio output works it is often stopped once again by making a phone call or listening to something! This has been happening for about 4 weeks now.
My skyrocket has no sound during:
Phone calls
Youtube or Songs on the phone
Alarms
Ringing
Dial tone sounds
No sound through headphones either
I am not sure if my phone is vibrating or not due a faulty vibrator.
Thank you soo much for all of your help! Hope I can get this problem fixed! :cyclops:
I also have a similar problem after changing the USB Port.But in my case vibrator works. In 'speaker mode' no sound and 'Ringer' is dead completely
