Has anyone found a volume fix? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone found a fix for the wired volume? It is terrible. I come from a HTC One and never really used my Nexus until recently. It just terrible. Power Amp can't help it. I use Beat Studios 2.0 and it just sounds really meh.

Hi,

What did you expect? Premium quality at an affordable price?

I don't see why that can't be an option.
But anyways. The flashable zip does help it.

Pretty much this. The HTC One has vastly superior sound and it's the one thing I miss about it. The Nexus has one downward-facing speaker as opposed to 2 front-facing speakers so it's always going to be rubbish in comparison

Do a search there are about 3-5 threads on this with downloads. Why beats seems to be the end all be all is beyond me.

Not to sound rude, but why don't you just YouTube it so you can get an idea of what the software looks like?

(FIX) for users that need a better camera

I have found a fix for those in need of a better camera......
Go buy a camera. This is a phone. Do your research before you go and drop hundreds on a smartphone. Make sure you know the hardware your buying.
This post probably sounded better in your head, no?

I'm hoping they up the storage so 16gb would be 349$ + 32gb would be 399$..?
Can't wait for another Nexus! Let the games begin...
Need a b-day gift soon for the in-law. But doubtful Nexus 5 will be available. Even though not for me, it would've been interesting to get one. Oh well.

Nobody in here would truly know that and be able to hold it in. You might as well type in google nexus 5 release date for that info IMHO
It can also be October 14

I'm not as excited about the next Nexus, I liked it more when Samsung was making them, the Nexus 4 had a camera which shames this high-end device.
I imagine it will be released to around the same time as Kit Kat?.? If
if is in the same price bracket of the Nexus 4 then I may have to sell
my S4 and look into getting this.
I would like to see Motorola build a Nexus... Mostly for battery life...

Did the 4.4.2 fix the speakers

The speakers are what is holding me back to purchase this phone.

4.4.1 fixed the speaker volume and clarity a little.

He was nice enough to make that and share with the community. It makes a world of a difference trust me.
Volume seems better on my N5 4.4.2.

Undoubtedly the speaker volume on the 4.4.2 is much higher. I would say it is perfect atm. The only problem I can see at the moment is the hissing sound on the silence parts of a recorded video/sound....
I'd recommend against buying this phone if you want good speakers bro. For obvious reasons lol

Build quality issues?

I've been reading that there may be some build quality issues, with the N5.
One issue is the screen is prone to breaking after a slight drop?
Any comments here regarding this?
Thanks all.

Nope, already been discussed ad nauseam
There are about a thousand threads about this. Just do a quick search.

Take these post with a grain of salt
Things break when you drop them, don't drop it.
I feel like there are a hundred threads asking this question.
Agree most phones will have a cracked screen if dropped.. Depends whether you are willing to get a case or if u like the N5 naked.

The screen is glass, and it behaves accordingly.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It's gorilla glass 3. If it breaks, almost any other phone would have broken as well. I really wouldn't worry about the build quality. It's pretty impressive.
People have to stop making these threads. There is already a 100+ page long thread called "Nexus 5 Defects".
