Does anyone have issues with the speaker volume being pretty low on calls on 4.4.2?
There are 5 threads talking about this; only fix i know is call any number and lower volume to min. Then turn off phone. Then turn it on and raisevolume to max and it should work nice

Im having issues with the volume of the Call volume on the main speaker when i press speaker phone while in a call.
im currently running CM7.1 with 2.3.5 but no matter what i try using the settings in CM or with the Volume+ app the person is still at very low volume.
I do a lot of driving and this pisses me off because the volume of music from the speaker is fine and can be turned up so loud that it becomes distorted, and i can't stand using a headset, pisisng around with wires while driving and getting caught on stuff in the cab.
Anyone know of a good way to boost this as alot of things i have tryed just keep FC'ing on me when i connect headphones or receive a call.
This could be the party on the other line. Most music or other video/ podcasts are recorded with quality sound. Phone microphones aren't as good.

Well i have only ever tested it when receiving or making the call from an IPhone 3G and a Nokia E70, every time the call has been low volume from both handsets.
strange volume+ ver.174 doesn't work for you because I blow my speaker using it. I turned the speaker volume up to 15 and the phone volume was maxed and later that day I was sprint for a exchange. Thats the only app that increases your volume to that degree so if it isn't working it maybe your phone.

15 ?!!! That's excessive. I have mine at +4 and still have some trepidation most times, but +15...that's crazy.
Does any one have very low volumes during calls ? I have set the incall volume to max and also rebooted a couple of times ... but I still feel the volume is pretty low ..
Yep. I made a thread about this. Most calls are ok. Some aren't loud enough.
Sometimes I have noticed if you hit the volume up button sometimes it won't change volume lvl. But if I hit the volume down first then up it helps. Kinda weird bug if you ask me

The thinner they make these phones these days the worse the speakers seem to be that they use in them. Whether it be the earphone or bottom speaker on the rear that they use both are bad.
Differently from others who find that headphones volume is low, I think that what is really low is the speaker volume.
Using, or should I say trying to use, this phone for a call inside a car using the speaker is impossible... the volume is too low and the car noise, even at lower speeds will be higher.
Is there a way to increase the volume without changing kernel or rom? Maybe some system option like the one that can be used on ATT LG G2.
Thanks.

There is currently no system boost. I have to say when the phone was delivered I hated everything in the sound department with the Nexus 5. The volume is erratic my 5 year old daughter loves nextflix and the playback is so quiet even she was like where's is the volume boost. I am sure there will be a software fix by developers or google soon, well I hope so.
Hi of you use volume + this works to increase the sound always

I bought nexus 5 a month ago. from then i don't know weather this is the problem or the volume of speaker is built low. i am getting very low ringing volume . while on cal its loudspeaker volume is very good and while on head set volume is also very good. only problem is while ringing a cal or while playing music via loud speaker the volume is below average. i went to service center they just took one more nexus 5 which they had(that one was other customers phone which has a software bug) and compare it with that phones speaker that phone is also giving same volume. but i have read reviews that its speaker has very good sound. and it has around 65db sound. my friend has iphone 5 it has 68db which sounds very good(while ringing). but mine with less just 3db difference is not even half i think. i saw in internet lg released an hardware upgrade so that speakers can be changed is that correct? how can i fix this?
This is a well known issue.
You can flash this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532788
There are a few other methods as well. You can also look at viper4android or faux sound deal.
I use the sound file called sedna..with no fixes I can hear it clear across the house even without full volume.

It already exists as a selectable ring tone under Sound settings.

You`l have to root to increase loudness, read the first 4 threads in the General section first first first first and don`t use toolkits
It isn't a defect, all of them are pretty quiet. I just flashed franco kernel and used his app to boost the speaker volume. It's almost too loud now...the lowest setting was the highest one before.
