Nexus 5 Mic Sensivity (Audio distortion) - Nexus 5 General

Hi,
If you guys remember Nexus 4 suffers from high mic gain sensivity which results in distorted audio quality shooting video in loud area, for instance check this video file:

Users who already received Nexus 5, please confirm Nexus 5 doesn't have this issue.
For some people this might be a deal breaker.
Edit:
Added Nexus 4 video sample from. Audio is very distorted.

My opinion the audio is too thin and a bit metallic, gain is high but volume is not loud enough. Maybe sound-to-noise ratio is low. Also the video aspect ratio is weird (seems fixed in 10b), saved in 3gp not mp4, results in bad quality.

[Q] The sound is very low !

Hi all,
here for a month now I have this wonder, but I noticed that the speaker sound is low compared to Xperia S, Galaxy or Iphone, and sound with headphones is low.
Has anybody this problem?
A solution?
thank you
Thread moved. As it's your first post I'd just like to remind you that question threads have their own section here in Q&A. Please try to post in the correct sections going forward.
Thanks

Speaker kicks ass here and headphones
Use the Equaliser in walkman for songs, works wonders

Agreed, in my limited experience the T has great sound. My wife has sgs3, which is definitely a bit louder, but the quality of sound on T is possibly a bit better. Use equalizer as mentioned above, but you will get distortion if you push the base just a little higher, Sony seem to have focused on providing a fuller sound rather than just a loud one. You can also turn of xloud in sound settings to reduce distortion when volume is max.

[Discussion] Slimport HDMI improvement and issues on Android 4.3

Since I have plugged in my Nexus 4 to the TV I noticed new stuff such has now it is not forced on landscape, more FPS in the OS makes it seem smoother on the TV, image and sound quality has been improved.
The only issues is that since Android 4.3 on YouTube while watching a video there is a blue block graphical glitch which only shows up on the TV, I do not know if it is an issue with the Slimport HDMI Adapter itself.

I have this issue too, it's a regression, I'm not impressed.

I'm on stock 4.3 tried JW- Faux and Franco kernels, both give me no problems whatsoever. However YouTube still uses S/W playback Try playing something with H/W encoder.

Apparently you can use VPlayer with YouTube links so you can watch YouTube videos using a H/W encoder.

Serious Nexus 5 Mic issues

Try recording something with absolutely no background noise of you talking breathing is fine you will hear a slight hiss during recording silence this is with the stock camera app and 100% fully stock google Image 4.4.2 Flashed No root no kernel all stock
Also there seems to be issue on the mic when in a voice call when there is silence also hissing noise and or when in a crowded environment it sounds muffled.
There are around 3 threads like this on the Q and A section. All NEXUS 5's have this issue STOP Hiding and bring awareness to Google and or LG
A quick search reveals many people having this issue. Search on Google for Nexus 5 mic issue
In fact it even affects the Nexus 4! and how old is the Nexus 4 now? its been doing that since 4.3!
I love it when people generalize with words like "all" and "everyone". Got mine new last week at Tmobile store. Voice calls are fine with no hissing. Recorded video and audio sounds fine. If there are three threads then why create another one. Read the rules!!, also if you want lg's attention go post in their support thread. No one but deaf ears will hear you here. If you are that unhappy return it.

I thought the video issue affected all units. So in quiet environments there is no static in your video recording?

If its a known issue it doesn't mean it can necessarily affect them all. Or maybe I'm not using the device the same way as you are where I can reproduce it .

If you don't like it, buy a new phone. On a side note, have you tried downloading a seperate recording app? As far as the call goes, I haven't had an issue with that, so its not ALL. Instead, you could of used: majority, almost all, a high percentage, a noticeable amount.

What DroneDoom is trying to say is: Read the OP. Then and only then should you reply.
Switched my phone to an iphone till resolved. This is my third RMA device with issue 2 from gplay and 1 from LG

I still get the giggles reading your "The radio is great on the nexus 5" post.
I find that the level of hissing differs between devices. Some devices have it really bad where it sounds like someone is constantly blowing air into the mic, where as as on others you can barely hear any noise.

Bass Distortion during Video Recording?

Hello I'm deciding on either getting the Nexus 6 or Note 4. Video recording is really important to me since I'm always in clubs and concerts. I love stock android and I'm really digging the Nexus 6 but I haven't found anything regarding Bass Distortion during Video recording. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
