So in the last three days I lost the vibrator motor, loud speaker, and the microphone. Anyone know if this has been an issue and if it can be fixed? Otherwise it's an RMA.

Did you drop the phone in the toilet? Throw it against a wall? Flash a kernel meant for another device?
If you answered know to all three questions: RMA it.

can someone tell me if there are 2 loud speakers at the bottom of the nexus 5? I have played music through them and when i block the one on the left then the music is muted, no sound comes from the one on the right. Is it just my phone?
cheers
One of the openings is a microphone, there's only one speaker.

I haven't owned a Nexus 4 so can't comment... it's not bad, but after been using the S4 it's certainly not as good, though that's understandable.

Voulme reduced due to Water Spilled
Hi guys
my phone speaker volume got reduced due to water spilled over it ..
So... I received my phone last night. The vibration motor was DOA ( started working 5mins ago though). And there is some pretty bad backlight bleed.
Is it worth RMA'ing?

My 1st arrived with a DOA vibrator, but never worked. THat was the only issue. Got my 2nd one and vibrator works as expected. I love this phone
You're going to get light bleed of some kind on any backlit LCD. Is it bad? Do you use your phone in a dark closet with the screen set to display a black screen? Up to you

I agree. I just don't want to go through the trouble of RMA'ing for a worse (or equal) device lol
There is no reason to think that you would get an equal or worse product if you RMA it. If you do RMA the RMA.
This mic makes this phone almost unusable. I HATE having to constantly repeat myself because everyone keeps telling me they can't hear me. Makes me not even want to call...
Something tells me Google just doesn't give a **** because why would they? They've already sold their phones and I just don't see them putting in any real effort to fix this.
The more nexus phones I own the less I want to buy another...sigh it could have been so nice. Guess I'll probably end up trying to trade for a g2 if this doesn't get solved.

It just baffles me how many nexus users are so accepting of this and just shrug it off. If this was any other major release is from apple it would be all over the news. I guess we've just been conditioned to accept crap because of the low price? Doesn't seem worth it if you ask me

no problem with my microphone. i hear it well, and people that i talk to hear me well. especially people on tmobile, who have the tmobile hd calling option included in their phone as well. google would only work to take care of it if many were having the same issue, which it appears that the issue, if exists, is very limited.
Are you a quiet talker? Or does your voice "carry "? I don't think this has anything to do with hardware because I've seen threads of people who have returned with phones with no luck. Like others have postulated I believe it has to do with the noise cancelling reading (part?) of my voice as background noise.
This is a real issue and i know I'm not the only one

I fixed my issue by only talking on my right ear because my left ear would cover top mic and people couldn't hear.

No problem on my microphone. Only problem that I have is during a call I lose signal resulting in a dropped call.

Free from T-Mo in areas where they support it.. I believe it's just a 3G/4G requirement and a phone that is compatible. Both phones have to be able to do it, with the proper coverage, and then it greatly increases the bitrate on the call making it just as good as a Skype to Skype call for instance.
My mic is just fine. In fact, most people say I sound like I'm on a landline. The N5 has some of the best call quality of any phone I've used, surprisingly.

Is it just during phone calls? Have you tried doing just a voice recording or recording a video? It's not a problem with the mic if your voice is fine after you try that.
My day one Nexus has a non functioning GPS, since it was still under warranty I started the process of returns in December. Since then Google has shipped me 2 phones with vibration motors that sound like a wreck. I'm waiting on the third replacement now. Am I swimming upstream with this one or has Google started shipping fixes yet?
There are no fixes. Its either faulty or not

Mine from 12/2013 has loud a vibration motor. Sounds like a dental drill!! Waiting a couple months before I try to RMA. Sounds like they're still rolling out crap ones.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mine is a brand new RMA from T-Mobile fresh in the Google box. Motor sounds like absolute crap and just feels loose or something. I can't stand it. I am going to wait a few months before I do it again. Hopefully better models will be out by then.

Aha that. Tbh my N5 vib. motor acts the same as my nexus 4 used to, and both are a lil bit off when compared to a GS3 for example, so i'm guessing it's either buggy drivers or cheaper hardware that LG is putting in the nexus line. Either way, i'm afraid guys who are RMAing will not get what they are looking for

I think you're right.
I've never experienced the N4's vibrate but I prefer the n5 (that I have anyway) to my s3. Its more like the elasticity twang of an xperia. But then mines quiet so I dont have the issue the op has.

does it happen to your phone that sometimes (randomly) as if it loses vib. strength, and you can't feel it while typing, then after a while everything comes back to normal.. ?
This is a thing i used to notice on the N4 and i'm still noticing it on the N5, there are actually threads about it in the Q&A section..

Oh wow. That's terrible. And I thought my Wife's Moto X was loud.
My phone is rooted, has CM11, and also have a badly cracked screen/digitizer. I'm debating if it's malware or just the digitizer. I've ran AVG and Malwarebytes and nothing shows up. Coming here to see what you guys think.
My phone keeps clicking random ****, so that's why I'm asking.
Malware can't crack your screen.
