Serious Nexus 5 Mic issues

[markdapimp]

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?

Yet Google support have confirmed is a software problem.

Liars and shills..what a world.

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.

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.
