Never really paid attention until I noticed that I couldn't really hear you tube videos and music! Which was fine before, it was loud enough! So it was then I realized sound was only coming out one side so dunno!
I'm getting a replacement either way and I'll compare the two!
...

it's been confirmed numerous times that one is a mic and the other is a speaker.

i use a program like total recorder to boost the volume of my ringtones,then copy them back to my sdcard. there are a couple of free apps online that do the same.

Wow! Can't believe they sent you a replacement for a problem that doesn't exist.

WOW .... that is lame as hell .... and this is an LG product??? No wonder my d2 sounded better and was louder

How is that lame? You would prefer two speakers and no mic? Then it wouldn't be a phone, would it?

2 speakers and a Mic would be nice. Other than the noticeably low volume I love this phone.

volume+ seems to let you do some audio tweaking i had the same problem where my audio was all the way up and wasnt very loud i downloaded and installed Volume+ i think it is on the market not sure but this allowed me to run my volume at 1/2 up and its loud as heck

it sets speaker, headset and as well as bluetooth volume levels

This doesn't allow me to boost past factory settings

So have they fixed the rubbish speaker?

Seeing as how my moto x Dev edition just broke... (Microphone just failed)
I'm thinking about the nexus 5 again.
Only if... However they've fixed that garbage quality speaker.
Can someone shed some light?

No. Same erratic build, no new 'version'.

There was a software update for the speaker. Fixed the volume being unusually low in certain apps.
If you root the phone there are many options to increase volume and audio quality. Unrooted you can use equalizers for a small boost.
I find it loud enough to hear my ringtone in a noisy environment and clear enough to enjoy videos and music with.

I never thought the N5 speaker was garbage... better than the S3s I had in every single way.

If you are rooted then install ViPer4Android. It so dynamically changes the sound quality you will wonder what all the *****ing is about. Check for the ViPer4Android thread in the Nexus 5 themes and apps section for how to install it. In that thread is a flash file that makes things a little easier. In my opinion Google should buy ViPer4Android and make it standard. I use it on all my Android devices.

My girlfriend's HTC One Mini has much better speakers than my N5. But my screen, processor, RAM, etc. are all much better. Depends what's most important to you. You could always use headphones

Google will push new speakers through an update soon BTW read the suggestions above.

Tested audio quality with earphones and without using Google music+equalizer and I can say that audio quality is GREAT.
Honestly after reading some users complains about audio quality I excepted it worse,but like for me,a music lover,it's great. :good:

So is it possible that I got a gimped one from the first order? Way back on release week.

Some nexus 5's had really low volume on the speaker. That's why people started drilling holes in it.

Nexus 5 Mic issue

So I have this issue on my Nexus 5 where when I record something, it makes this HORRIBLE background noise, extremely bad, and I was just wondering if any of you guys have this as well? Because I just got my first RMA on Wednesday, and I don't want to have to get another one, was wondering if you guys know what it's about, and how to fix it and if not so that I can get another RMA.

I did actually, most of them just gave descriptions of a small hissing sound in the background, and the only page that i've found a post similar to mine, is a article, in which people can only comment, and they describe their issue to be a bit more like hissing and not this almost rain pouring down kind of noise.
I wouldn't make another thread for something I know is already out there.

Can you make an example recording?
Edit.. sorry maybe that's what your link is

It's there on the google drive link.

By the way I'm on Purity ROM with r35 from franco, on ART and with Viper4android, that's about it, issue began today, in my house while I was recording a video of my dog.
That's about all there is to it. I haven't done anything else to my Nexus 5 other than that
EDIT: now I'm almost sure it's not a software issue, i tried other cameras such as Snap Camera and the Instagram camera and snapchat camera, and they all have the same noise. Unless the noise cancellation is the issue, and all these apps use the Nexus 5 noise cancellation feature.

That's really loud but is it always like that? Perhaps its a result of your environment. What if you cover over the noise canc mic?
Its not so much hissing that's the issue. The sound is cancelled when it shouldn't be

Thanks, I just tried that, and it's not the environment, the room during the recordings is dead quiet. I tried covering both mics. but the issue is still there. and no, it wasn't always this loud, from what I remember, it was working fine at the beginning of the video with my dog, and then suddenly that weird noise began

Not sure if you're rooted or not but to rule out software, do a full wipe. Still a problem? RMA. There's definitely a bigger issue there than the standard issue as shown in my video

[FIX][ZIP] OK Google/Low microphone problem

I have been using my One Plus for a few days and I noticed I couldn't use "Okay Google" unless the phone was within a few inches from my mouth. I tested this in my garage screaming at my phone till I felt like a idiot, cause my wife came in and asked "Why are you screaming at Google?" . So I started looking through CM's source and found a a commit that referenced the problem.
I searched on XDA to see if others were affected by this problem and came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fixed-microphone-ok-google-low-t2805568 . So I made a flashable zip after testing it. Now, I'm not screaming at my phone anymore.
REQUIREMENTS:
1) Rooted
2) Recovery installed (I use TWRP)
3) Common sense
HOW TO:
1) Boot into recovery
2) Install
3) Profit
This has worked for several others with low microphone sensitively,without any problems. This is not to say nothing will happen to your device, each device differs from one another,depending on different circumstances.
**Myself or XDA are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device.

Thanks DirtyDroidX, that wonderful little zip has considerably improved the Google Now recognition. BTW, I had no problem at all with the flash. I'd actually stopped using voice command on the OPO because it was so bad! Props to you sir

Thanks bud, all I did was look at CM's commits on Gerrit and hooked up a flashable zip real quick I actually have a few other things I'm fixing so stay tuned. I fixed the low speakerphone problem already,just got to tweak a few things. Also WiFi FC when using some things is being fixed also.

I also have problem with low microphone. Does it apply to OPO 64gb EU?

There seems to be another merge regarding this issue.
First I though they just moved the previously fixed one, but this mixer_paths.xml is bigger than the one from the previous fix.
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/69311/
Compared the new one with the one in my Gummy Team rom, to push the latest to /system/etc, but seems they already have the new one.
Btw compared the One to my Nexus 5 and they're either the same, or the One reacted a little better to the "Okay Google" command.

What exactly does this zip do to the phone that improves voice recognition?

I was looking at the too. I was looking at the build script for some things and think there is a few things in the kernel that might need adjusted . I'm going to look more in a little.

All it does is raise the microphone gain by replacing a XML file at the system level.

No. Just the microphone for listening to your voice. I'm working on the in call volume and speaker phone now.

1+1 Speakers Question

Hello everyone,
It might of been asked before but I couldn't find it, it's just a quick question, on my 1+1 the right speaker seems to sound louder than the left one, could it be that the phone separates different frequencies for the right and left speaker? Just wanted to know if it's normal, thanks in advance!

Is anyone going to answer my question???

I always thought just one side is the speaker and one side is the microphone? that's how my old iPhone 4s was... Think that's how it is for one plus one too?

Nope, they're both speakers, there's a separate hole for the microphone.

Then i guess the op has one defective speaker?
I'm gonna test mine out too lol
//edit
Just tried with Google play music streaming and you're right, both speakers work for me, guess the op does have one bad speaker. Good luck with the RMA process.
At least if you're lucky you will get a opo with the new wintek display and hopefully no touch screen issues. I don't really have any problems with mine, but then again I rarely use more than two fingers on the screen at a time

Thanks guys!
