Does 4.4.4 fixes the audio bug when recording videos? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

New update again.
4.4.3 didn't fix the audio bug when recording videos (that background hiss or noise that we could hear if there was no noises or voices).
Can people check now again with the new update?
Thanks.

unfortunately my nexus told me he is up to date with 4.4.3 :<

Anyone else?

Just flash the factory images if you're so worried about something like this.

Not fixed in 4.4.4

I don't have the Nexus 5.
Had it and returned it due to this issue. That's why I'm asking again, but just like the guy above said it's not fixed, so it's definitely a hardware issue, just like I suspected.
Shame.

It's not "definitely a hardware issue ". Them not fixing it doesn't mean it's hardware. All symptoms point to software.
Google haven't even acknowledged an issue and that is why it's not fixed.

No, it does not fix it.
Can you please make a recording and show us? A fan makes a nice sound to hear what is wrong.
This is the Nexus 5 on 4.4.4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tzrClyzqE8
and this is the Samsung Note 4.1.2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-a_O09Gj-w
Placed at the same location, give or take a centimeter.
I've just done the recording with a Samsung S and a ZTE blade at the exact same spot but I have yet to upload it but they sound as normal as the Note and not like the Garble from the Nexus 5.

Well... I remember that i HAD this thing on stock and in earlier slimkat builds (it was like underwater with sound distortions). And this patch fixed the problem. Just to be sure if i don't have placebo or smth i put stock mic settings. But(!) i couldn't get this on latest slimkat build! Videos recorded with Google Camera app.
with fix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-QbNpZDrFk&feature=youtu.be
w/o fix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnO478hxRqs&feature=youtu.be
You can hear that with fix it sounds more clear and less loud, but w/o it sounds like i'm trying to smash table by my fingers (very loud and little echo). Distance between sound source and telephone is minimal.

Weird.
If it was software it should have been already fixed.
Google is aware of the issue because on their forums there was a huge thread about this issue since November, and the moderators said they were aware of this issue and were working on it.

It's a hardware problem a lot of Nexus 5 have, as you guys can see on the link to the google webpage.

You've been saying that always, but I haven't seen any developer fix it with a patch.
Not even Google has fixed it with updates. Do you really believe the all powerful Google can't fix it? They have great software engineers and developers, yet still no solution.
In the Google forums everyone keeps saying it's a hardware problem and I believe that.
It looks like Google won't/can't fix the issue, so it's not software, or they could have already fixed it.

Well exactly 0 of the symptoms point to a hardware issue. If it was a hardware issue, why haven't they updated the nexus 5 with a new microphone?

Same reason LG hasn't updated the bad GPS of the G2 or the antenna location to fix the cell reception issues.
Same reason Apple didn't update the antenna issue on the iPhone 4 until the next model iPhone 4S.
Same reason OnePlus won't update the screens on their phone to fix the yellow tint issue.
Same reason they haven't updated the Nexus 5 to include a stronger vibration motor.
Same reason they haven't updated the Nexus 7 2013 with a new screen to fix the touchscreen issue.
Enough with the software issue seriously.

search button fires up

hey guys, I know this is a known issue, but I can't take it anymore, I literally can't use 3g, because the voice button activates itself all the time, I'm using it, I don't know if I should send it, to warranty, because this is clearly a bug... I need some advice please.
BTW my nexus s is rooted, I've tried also all the roms available and still got the same issue. help
Have you flashed a different radio? It is a known issue with the 9020A.

- adb push iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
gonna try that see whats up thanks.
Been waiting months for a fix. KB3 modem is the best in regards to minimizing the problem. Also, cyanogen nightly (7.1) has the option to map the short and long press of the search to "nothing".
There is also a paid app, i think it's called "search nothingness" or something along those lines that can remap the search to nothing.
personally with KB3, i rarely get the issue, usually only during GPS navigation. At home and at work, i have wifi, so 90% of the time, it's a non-issue.

I hope this also fixes my issue with Home and Back buttons getting stuck in "long press."
Yea what a joke. I updated the radio to "fix" my search button issue. Oh it fixes it but also brings capped data speeds and no modifying the ro.ril aka build.prop doesn't help. So sacrifice speed for annoyance depletion or keep the raw dog and risk throwing you're phone out the window at 70 on the interstate!!!! Lol it fixes it. No we just have to fix the data caps again.

Its not a huge problem for me. I get great reception almost everywhere I go except for some basements and at work.
I can't take calls while at work so its not a problem.

I had the bug, installed 2.3.6 and it's gone. No more random firing of the search button. My only new bug is that my gmail application Outbox count won't work properly. Even when it's empty it shows a number.
If I reset the application and clear it's data it starts up again with the issue.

Hey guys I didn't want to start another thread so I'm continuing this post.
I'm still noticing the search button bug (Firing randomly) in low reception areas.
Currently I'm running the ICS OTA 4.0.3 with UCKF1 radio on the i9020a.
Is anyone else still seeing this bug from time to time? Did anyone find a way to fix completely? If so please share you solution, if not share your stories. Thanks guys.
I have the i9020a and mine had the annoying bug as well except it was the home button firing with recent apps coming up all the time. I have updated to 4.0.3 from the t-mobile version and flashed the ucke1 radio and have not hae the problem since. In fact I have not run into any problems yet.

If you get the search bug with 2.3.6, send your phone in to get the screen replaced. Also keep in mind that the current ota of ics is NOT for the i9020a

Touchscreen problems

I'm having problems with my new Nexus 5. They include freezing and ghost touches like I also have with my Nexus 7 and because I have similar software on both I am wondering if it may be some software interaction that is causing it.
Is there a log I can start that will tell me what is running or happening when the freezes happen?

I assume what you mean by similar software that you are running custom kernel/ ROM?

No, sorry for being unclear. I am rooted running stock rom. 4.4.2 in the Nexus 5, 4.3 in the Nexus 7 2013 and Nexus 7 2012.
By similar software I actually meant similar installed apps, including SwiftKey (which I suspect because problems increased after recent updates) but also things like Greenify, Avast mobile AV with its firewall), LBE security master which could of course be likely suspects.

Would hate to do a factory reset. Besides the Nexus 5 is less than a week old.
What is a cat log?
Theres an app called logcat that you can download and it tells you everything that your phone is doing.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat
This is what it would look like. Other members will have to tell you what to look for because I don't know, it's above my paygrade.

Poor Mic Performance?

Hey,
Has anyone else had problems where people can't hear you during voice calls? It seems like people complain that they can't hear me unless I hold the phone right up to my face.
I have the "official" bumper case, but other than that, nothing special. The phone is from the 14 batch (manufactured 12/12/2013) -- and is running CM 11 M3.
Any thoughts/advice? Thanks.
-- Dan
I've had people mention this too. Any ideas?
I've experienced this too. People say that they can't hear me clearly.
Saw this thread on Google Forums... People seem to think it might be software related to the noise canceling mic. Doesn't look like there's any fix yet.

Actually, it's not just for Sony phones or tablets.
My Nexus 7 (2012) also suffered the same issue when it is upgraded to KK, and thus, I think it's the problem inside KK source code...

Also the video isnt working on the phone, recording video on camera or snapchat. It records on the camera but then it freezes when you play it back. and on snapchat is just says recording failed.
Camera quality does not seem very good. The only thing that may make me switch back to a Samsung based ROM.
Anyone else notice a camera quality difference?
Yeah, it seems the same for me. I'm tempted to dual boot though. I do like this rom for the most part.
