[Q] Getting another N5

Inpain · Jan 27, 2014

Hi all

So, 2 months ago i had a Nexus 5, and ofcourse, i had the popular issue of people not hearing me very well when i call them or they call me.

I have a Galaxy Note 3 atm, and a friend of mine ordered a new Nexus 5 from the U.S, and he offered to swap it for my Note 3.

My question is, is that issue still present in the nexus 5 sets ? Or did Google fix it already ?

Thank you :fingers-crossed:

You're not expecting LTE to work are you?

I hope you're getting some cash as well... phone for phone isn't a very good deal for you in this case. The Note 3 retails for a lot more than what the N5 does.

Edit: Also, I never had the problem you described. Everyone always says I sound super clear to them, like I'm on a landline.

The note 3 is used though and the nexus 5 new. Suppose it depends how used the note 3 is.

Op, make a call on the n5 before accepting the n5. I read a funny thread the other day about someone who has a certain pitch of voice that phones interpret his voice as "noise" so noise cancellation removes his voice from phone calls

Oh man that's hilarious! Sucks to be that guy lol

Good point about it being used, I didn't think about that. OP should still look and see what used Note 3s are going for, I'd imagine it's still more than a new N5.

I had a used T-Mobile Note 3 that was in good condition and I traded it for a brand new black, 32gb Nexus 5 plus $150 cash. I believe a used Note 3 is about $500-550 and a brand new (never opened) Nexus 5 32gb is $400 (not including tax and shipping from the play store). The OP has to take in consideration which gigabyte version he's getting with the trade to get a fair dollar amount.

I'm trading it for a 32GB Nexus 5, Black

I know my Note 3 is worth more, but he's my lifetime friend so i'm not going to take anything on top of his N5

So far only 2 peeps answered my question, others are more concerned about cash on top and blah blah... silly

I thought your question was already answered. Even you confirmed that "2 peeps" answered your question. Are you looking for a poll?

I haven't had any issues other than when you make a phone call every now and then the call doesn't go through and you have to switch to AIRPLANE mode for about 10 seconds for the call to go through.

With all due respect, I only mentioned the extra cash to help you.

The noise cancellation issue can be temporarily fixed by editing your build prop if rooted, or simply covering up the secondary mic.

Apologies I'm unable to find the post at this moment. One of the many microphone threads, I was going to suggest they cover the secondary mic as a temporary solution when someone else uneventfully posted that one line in the build prop disables noise cancellation and fixes the issue. I will keep searching and edit this if I find it.

Thanks sir

The build.prob edit did not fix the issue to a lot of N5 owners...

So i guess that issue iss till around in few N5 sets, let's hope the one i'm getting is OK

You can disabled noise cancelation in build.prop

change...

persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true

to false

Thanks for that. Sorry, I ran out of clicky-thanks.

Edit > Well assuming that works, please find attached a flashable zip to achieve it.
