Issues with headphones. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having an issue with the sound on my headphones. It is almost as if a majority of the sound is coming through the right ear, even when the volume is cranked all the way up, the left ear hardly has any sound. I Google'd it a bit to see if maybe anyone else was experiencing this with the Nexus 5 and couldn't really find anything about it. Has anyone else had this problem, if so is there a fix to it? My phone is rooted, but I do not have a custom kernal on it.

Video Chat = Low Volume

Anyone else experiencing this in Qik? Tried over wifi and 3G, downloaded all updates. The volume is very low. Does this happen to anyone else?
OMG yes! I thought I was the only one? It's too damn hard to hear who I'm talking to. The person even asked me why I would bring the phone up to my ear every time he spoke. I hope an update can fix this.
I experienced the same thing using Tango. Tried doing a test chat with my friend on his iphone. He kept asking me to repeat myself and said the volume was low. I could hear him fine.
So, just to see, I tried it with the headphones and mic... MUCH better, he could hear me fine.
At first I thought it was the case maybe getting in the way, but taking it off didn't help at all.
Not sure what to make of it... hopefully, it is just some software problem and nothing major.
This is my first post BTW... After leaving the iphone a couple of months ago I have tried 3 Samsung Captivates (Galaxy S), 2 G2's, and 2 MT4G's... I think I finally got a keeper. This thing is redonkulous!

same - tried over data and wifi. However... girlfriend used headphones and no headphones, and iphone head phones... could barely hear here. it would cut in and out sometimes too... she couldn't hear me half the time either... helllppppp this is why we bought this stupid phone!
i had the same problem today, i hope it's just a matter of an update, other than that this phone is awesome! i can't believe i got a MyTouch after having a g1, i thought i'd be a loyal vanilla user but this phone was too sweet to pass up
lol @2071. Yea I'm about to get it Tomorrow coming from a g1. I wish this was vanilla, or i can at least root
Double check that your call is going through the speakerphone. Is it possible that the video call audio is defaulting to the earpiece? I wonder because if it sounds normal using headphones then there's probably nothing wrong. Just a guess.
The other side they can hear me perfectly. Its just my ability to hear them. During the call, if I push the volume keys, the volume meter comes up on the phone as "media volume." Also, if I make a regular non-video call and put it on speaker, the speaker is LOUD. So its just confined to video calls..... Also, other media (music) is LOUD.
Ya I have also tried Tango and its the same low volume on The network or my wifi. I haven't tried headphones yet though.

I can confirm low volume as well. Seems to work way better with headphones in for both sides.

Alright, well make sure you all call in to tmo tech support so this becomes a known issue quickly!
im not experiencing low volume... what i am experiencing is when talking to my friend, I had to switch the mic on and off each time I wanted to talk and hear him.. kinda like a 2 way radio

Tinny buzzy Sound

I've noticed my earpiece sound is a bit buzzy/tinny when someone talks, at least compared to my incredible. Anyone else experience this? I checked the demo units at the store, and they seem to also sound this way.

I was on the phone for about 10 mins yesterday from lifelock calling to ask if I had wanted to run credit with verizon, lol good thing though I guess. I didn't notice any issues at all with buzzing or anything. If it did it was minor and didn't bother me.

I havent noticed this on mine. I just made a call to test in case I just wasnt noticing it and didnt have this issue.
The only sound related issue I have noticed is that some sounds, like lock screen and the sound made when selecting an app, will get really low after a minute or two even if I have the volume on high and do not adjust it.

Frontspeaker crackling

Hi!
I just got my nexus s. When Im talking to someone else on the phone, the person I'm calling sounds very crackly. The crackling appears while having the volume > 50%. If its at 50% and lower the speaker sounds just fine. Another thing I noticed is that holding my thumb onto the speaker eliminates the crackling.
I think that I'm going to return the phone. Just wanted to know if I'm the only one having that kind of trouble.
The exact description of the phone is GT-I9023FSAC NX in case some one asks.
Thanks a lot!

are you on stock? no volume config apps?
if you havent done anything to your phone yet besides calling and texting, then yeah, i think you should get your phone replaced.

Low Volume in Ear Piece

When I use my Pixel without a headset I have issues with hearing people well. It seems like the volume is very low. I have other phones, such as the S7, that I don't have this issue on. It only seems to be on my Pixel.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Does anyone know of an app or hack to make the in call volume louder?
My phone is rooted.
Thanks!

Call Volume is horrible, what can I do to fix it?

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.
