Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.
I'm having the same or at least a similar problem. People can barely hear me on calls i make or receive on my new nexus 5.
Voice recording works and so does google now. I tried a couple apps hoping to get it fixed but it did not help. I uninstalled the apps again and rebooted. I also did a factory reset. Nothing helped.
There are a couple of reports on the web about stickers or cover plastic covering the micro causing this. This is not the case with my nexus however.
There is one very interessting thing I found out about my devices problem. I tried to do calls with several wired headsets I have at home. They where cheap and the micros in them probably suck. Actually it seemed even worse when using them. Then I did another try with a headset that does not have a microphone built in. I can be heared and understood that way! Quality was not great but in that scenario it actually worked as a mobile phone...
I'll contact the support tomorrow and try to get it replaced.
Hey guys, I just got my nexus 5 yesterday. Everything is fantastic besides one thing, the most important thing, making phone calls. When I'm talking on the phone others tell me they cannot hear me. This is odd as I know the nexus 5 is supposed to have a decent mic. Has anyone else had this issue? I even tried to looking for the mic because I thought something was blocking it. I'm guessing the microphone is inside the right speaker grill. Am I wrong.? Can anyone help me with this please? Thank you. Is anyone having the same issue?
