I just switched over to Cricket about a month ago. Everything was working fine, except yesterday my Nexus 5 started showing no Data. The phone shows connected to cricket and I can send and receive calls. But there is just no data: No LTE , no HSPA. The funny thing is that it happened all...

Thanks for the feedback. I noticed the improvement in speaker levels too after 4.4.2 update. So anything coming out of the bottom speaker (notifications, ringtones etc etc) are louder. What I wanted to know was the volume of the earpiece at the top. If one takes calls while holding the phone...

Thanks for the reply. I purchased by phone in December. It has a 201311 manufacturing. It's a black 16GB nexus 5. So i use my phone a lot for voice calls and here's what I've found: 1) Prior to the android update (in stock 4.4.0) the earpiece in-call volume was ok. However the microphone...

Hey Guys - Black 16GB Nexus 5 here. My in call volume using the earpiece is very very low since the 4.4.2 update. I have the volume maxed out and have already cleared cache, and even data reset once. Did not help at all. The only way to use the phone making a call is to use a headset or be...

I have the exact same issue. The in-call volume is very very low. It's impossible for me to hear other people unless I am in a quiet room. This issue seems to have become worse with the 4.2.2 update. The volume is maxed out. Still the in-call volume is very low. I recall with the stock 4.4.0 -...

Re: Total Bummer-Sauce with my new Nexus 5!!! Yes I do that too. That being said while it is fine for normal casual calls, I most definitely wouldn't recommend this for anything important like an interview or something like that. The handset usually had advanced noise canceling built in...

Re: Total Bummer-Sauce with my new Nexus 5!!! Maybe. But if so the in call volume is just too low for normal use. It's funny since the volume from the speaker in general is better. But the output in dialer is very low. All that being said the nexus 5 has the weakest speaker I've ever seen on...

Re: Total Bummer-Sauce with my new Nexus 5!!! Hey Guys - with the 4.4.1 update the microphone does sound better. Meaning I have got lesser complaints of other people not being able to hear me. However the in call volume is lower than before . Meaning I can't hear the other callers as clearly as...

Hi - I live in NYC too and have a 16 GB Nexus 5. I am usually around midtown in the city and also in Queens. Queens gets LTE most of the time. Manhattan it is usually 3G, but sometimes switches to LTE. My speeds are 1 mbps max on 3G. When the network does go to LTE (which is not often)...

There is NO plastic on the black Nexus 5 16 GB on the MIC at the top or on the speaker and mike at the bottom. I've heard it's on the white model maybe. Can anyone confirm this? I've checked properly and don't see any plastic anywhere. Nor do I remember removing anything. The only covering...

I was about to RMA, but the looking at so many people it is either a software defect OR a widespread hardware issue affecting a large number of devices. In both of the above cases a RMA may not help as the new phone might have the same problem.

Please keep us posted on how that goes. I think that might help. I've used Skype and some other voice apps and the voice seems fine. It's only when i CALL people using the stock dialer for normal phone calls, it totally sucks. I'm having a huge problem with people pointing out that they can't...

I sincerely hope that THIS is a software issue. I would HATE to send my phone back. It is perfect in other way. A lot of people have complained about it. Makes me wonder whether this is a hardware defect widespread in a LOT of phones. In that case, even RMA might not result in a perfect...

Re: Nexus 5: Phone Calls using earpiece (Microphone and Speaker) problem Thanks again. But this is only possible if you integrate your phone number as google voice right? I haven't done that. My existing number is 123 and my Google voice number is 456. So google voice voicemail is setup...

Re: Nexus 5: Phone Calls using earpiece (Microphone and Speaker) problem Thanks. Will order these. On a unrelated note, another issue. I don't get voicemail notifications on my phone. I have no way of knowing if I got a voicemail unless I call it manually. I also rebooted my phone. Still...
