Not good news.....

Just got off the phone with Google. They are not replacing the phone. Sending me over to LG.

did you actually have a problem or did you just want the newer version? i actually had a problem and they immediately replaced mine

I just got the new version friday and I seriously dont see the difference, besides a significantly more tinted yellow/warmer screen My voluume rocker isnt wobbly anymore but the power button still is, and tbh the speaker holes look smaller than the one I had before.. strange..

So what? They can make the speakers bigger but it won't matter you still will hear more crap sound out of them it all depends if they would improve the speaker DRIVERS

Would Google and LG alienate any of their customers if they did an additional hardware update with improved speaker drivers a few months from now?

Probably certainly. OTA updates are no problem but upgrading speakers on the same model and item number after it's already been out for 4 to 6 months? :what: Maybe if our phones were bursting into flames, but that's a replacement issue.

I called Google on Friday, mentioned how much my power button rattles, and was promptly told that it was a "know issue" and it would be replaced.

My replacement is supposed to ship on Wednesday.

I could only see this happening if a lot of customers were returning their phones because of speaker issues. In that case, it would make sense for Google and LG to consider upgrading the speaker drivers. However, since most people are happy with the speaker performance on their Nexus 5, Google will probably hold off on any changes until next year's release of the Nexus phone.

Interesting, I actually went to buy two N5's and left with two Note 3's after holding them up to my ear. It wasn't comfortable (felt like it was digging into my ear lobe) and I had a hard time hearing on the speaker. Oh well, guess better late than never.

I honestly have no problems on my phone. The speaker is no worse than any other phone speaker except maybe the One.

The n5s you checked out hadn't gotten the updates yet. The speaker is a lot louder now and if you turn the volume high, it's quite good for a phone speaker, though not probably anything like the HTC One series.
