ok so i just got the nexus 5 i like the phone but i found the little small front ear speaker is not that loud and volume is max is there a way to fix this so it is easier to hear people talking?
Was the phone ever disassembled? If it was, it is possible that the small plastic speaker support was not reattached.
unknown but it is possiblewould it be a good idea for me to disasemble and brush the speaker out then reassemble?
I would open the phone and perform an inspection.
Look at step 13: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5+Teardown/19016
ty for the reply it was an eay teardown and i used a toothbrush to clean the speaker and just a little blow of breath blew other junk out you can hear much better now

So is the crackling speaker effect caused by poor hardware build or software (radio)?
If i raise the in-call volume past 40% i get crackling...sounds almost like it's overamplified or something.
Also noticed when recording videos and there is any bit of noise outdoors, the (stereo) sound is crackling too....
I have a momax case with all holes present for the little noisecancelling mics on the backplate so that shouldn't be a problem.

Are you using any custom ROM or just stock

have the same issue with stock and custom
Same here. Even requested a replacement and the second unit received also suffers from the same issue!
I have the same issue too ! You have to report it to htc. I already reported .
It's a known issue with video recording. To get rid of the microphone clipping go to options and uncheck stereo recording. When it records in mono the sound is not clipped as bad. There are a bunch of threads about this. Kind of sucks because this was a cool feature for this phone and it doesn't work properly.

I don`t care about sound in video recording . Buzzing earpiece make me nervous.
I have the same issue with my stock 2.3.4 T-mo sensation.
It's probably a hardware issue.

I can not solve this issue with my phone no matter what I tried.

Has anyone tried this to fix the crackling speaker? Iget it on some of my phone calls and it really sucks.
Kind of an odd question, but if its available I would love a case like this.
Is there a case that covers up the speaker, but leaves a small gap between the speaker and the case, so that the case ends up 'aiming' the speaker at the front of the phone?
Hopefully you undestand what i just described.
I have this thing for my iPad called the Sound Jaw which is just a little plastic doohickey that aims the speaker towards the front, does wonders for the sound. I can't use my iPad without it.
That said, I know exactly what you mean and why you want it, but I haven't seen anything like it.
With the way the camera protrudes this effect is done normally. I have a case on my phone, and when I put it on a table it sounds louder.
Or you can always just get a regular case and put the phone face down when using the speaker. Or cuff your hand around the back of the phone above the speaker to amplify the sound.

another solution is just to attach a piece of paper\plastic on the inside of the cover (between the phone and the cover), just above the speaker grill. and that's it
In the last 6 months i had very low volume during calls, I was sure it was a Rom-related issue but even when moving from a AOSP-based rom to a sense one it didn't help.
I've tried the method with cleaning the earpiece with tooth brush - didnt help. so I've took a needle and just entered a few milimeters into the holes of the earpiece, while making a circular movement inside of it.
And now the volume is so strong that i need to put the volume lower it to the middle!!!
Just wanted to let you know in case it's your case too.
FYI: IM NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU INSERTED THE NEEDLE IN A WRONG WAY AND DESTROYED YOUR SPEAKER, ACT WITH CAUTION!

Can you take a picture of the earphone holes you poked? I replaced my earspeaker while I replaced my cracked screen but the replacement speaker was worse so I swapped back to the OEM one.
I have an idea how the speakers look underneath but would love to know which holes you worked on to enhance the sound experience.
Nothing to photograph here, its not a mods just cleaned the holes of the housing.

Just wanted to ask if anyone who has the K1 about their speakers
I feel on my unit the sound coming out of the top speaker is louder than the bottom speaker is that normal? for example at max volume I can feel the vibration of the sound from the top speaker but not the bottom.
Also I can make the bottom speaker frame click by pressing on it like the plastic is slightly separating (This in particular is concerning) but I wanted to see if it was a manufacturing thing I cba RMA'ing for a replacement just for that to have the same issue.
It happens when you press on the top of the bottom speaker with your thumb kinda like jiggling a tooth you'll hear it and feel it move.

speaker are ok for me..
About the clicking it depends..
On mine it's not the speaker that move but a little click came from the rear tablet panel...but it's definitively not faulty...only normal plastic assembly

I've got the clicking when pressing around speaker grills on both top and bottom edges. Not sure what to think about it but I don't like it. Might return it and keep the Dell 7840.

I thought the audio speaker volume was a bit low and noticed sound is only coming out of the left speaker hole. It's really obvious if I cover up the holes in turn. Could you tell me if yours is the same please?
There IS only one speaker...
Ah, well that would explain it. Silly me, I thought - two speaker holes = two speakers!
One is speaker and the other is the mic
Silly me thought the exact same thing today. I randomly put my phone up to my mouth and noticed the sound went away after covering just 1 side.
Thanks for clearing that up guys!
