Low volume while speaking - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
First I'm new here and hope to learn as much as I can on Android (Been using iPhone until a few months ago). Anyway I was wondering about an issue I have : While speaking on phone the volume is very low and I need to turn it up manually every time. Is there any way to configure this as a permanent setting? I have tried to search for an option under my phone app but couldn't find any.
I'm using Nexus 5 with Lollipop. Not rooted.
I'll be thankful for some help
Cheers!

Welcome to xda! FYI, questions go in the Q&A section.
I have not encountered that problem, nor can I think of a solution atm. Could be a bug that will be resolved in a future update.
Are you on 5.0.0, 5.0.1?
5.0.2 shouldn't be too far off.

I'm using 5.0.0
I forgot to mention I had this issue on Kitkat as well so not sure it's a bug but maybe I'm missing something...

Hi,
Posted this question in an existing thread bug never got an answer.
Does anyone know how to use this app without having the backlight and the capacitive buttons on?
Is the developer working on an updated version for the nexus s?

App Ops on Kit Kat?

So, I tried to install the permission manager app from the play store for 4.3 and it didn't work, how can we manage app permissions on 4.4?

Google have blocked access to it in 4.4 so the built-in app is no longer available.
Coming from CM10.2 I was hoping to at least be able to use this with my N5, but alas it's not so .

Wait... They removed the feature that they just added to the last version? Or they removed the old method of enabling it?

I believe they blocked the APIs used by the permissions editor which is why it crashes - but I'm struggling to find the reference I read that had this info.......
afaik they removed it completely. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47098228&postcount=2
One of the best features ever introduced to android and they remove it. Might even downgrade my N7 because of this.

I downgraded my N4 back to 4.3. Disabling app ops is terrible. Even apple has this feature: iOS alerts you if any app wants to access your contacts, or your photos, or your camera, and you have a choice to allow or not. Android 4.3 does not alert you, but at least you have the option to dig into the App Ops and revoke access to certain things. 4.4 is the first time an android upgrade dissapointed me (they destroyed the alarm app, the keyboard, the wifi indicator's activity/internet access, and App Ops).
App ops was never an official feature, so they technically didn't remove anything.

good god, why do the Googlers always have to find every disappointment thread to defend their master. Let me guess, you think the Google+ enforcement on youtube is awesome too?

So? It's still a feature they included, with easy access, and then took away even though it was nothing but effective for the users...

I'm with you on the users defending Google like the can do no wrong, but definitely disagree about the YouTube g+ integration... They needed to clean YouTube up, and now I can see friend's comments on videos more easily and only view the comments and responses of certain people... That was a good idea..
I think Google is completely wrong by blocking this app ops function, if that's what happened here...

Search for this app on PlayStore: com.findsdk.apppermission
I'm not sure its working everywhere. I have test it, on my phone its working (I9300 OMNI ROM).

Does anyone know where these preferences are stored? I'm mainly concerned with whether or not changing the options will affect an OTA update. If nothing is altered in the system files I'm sure we're good to go.
Sure do love having it again!

Flash player support is the last thing to be resolved. And those exchange / VPN bugs.
Thanks. Helpful information

Ok, any idea how to sort the list of apps in app ops?

how to i turn off vibration when getting a hangouts message?

hello i been going threw my phone for a while and i cant figure out how to make it so my phone does NOT vibrate when getting a hangouts message.. i went into settings.. either im blind or im going in the wrong spot.. thanks
First I think this is not a Nexus 5 related question, so it should be wrong here....
Second, for me it's directly under hangouts>settings>'account'....
Maybe at 4 or 5 point.

All messaging is integrated through hangouts in 4.4 (kit kat), so it is relevant. However, I did not look thoroughly enough to find how to disable vibration. Hopefully you can find it.
But this is an app related question and doesn't matter if SMS or normal hangout messages r integrated, so don't understand what u mean.
Doesn't matter, I told the way above and should be solved with this

Nexus 5 Incoming call

Hi everyone,
I have been reading this forum for well over a year and took the plunge into trying the Android L preview on my Nexus 5 32 GB. I am loving the way the software functions on my nexus 5 except i am having one issue. The phone i installed it on is a secoundary phone i have connected with sprint. When i am using the phone for a phone call and i get an incoming call I do not see who is calling and the phone doesn't show who is calling. Any ideas?
nick
Go back to stable releases. It's a preview release, not a daily driver (though quite stable)

I am fully aware that it is developer preview, I was just wanting to see if anyone had an idea about that bug

Google Play Services 5.0.88

Anyone install this yet? Where is the safest place to download from?
Mostly looking for success/failures before embarking on the journey. I like my Nexus 5 and hope this can remedy some of the battery drain issues I have been having.

New version?Need to try this....:good:
There's no reason why you shouldn't update. Eventually it will update on it's own, and this is probably nothing major.
Rumors it helps battery, but ya know, placebo.
