Nexus phones have had bad bugs at launch since day one. I had on of the older one's (2? 3?) and it had a bug where it would randomly restart during a call. Restart -- 3 min of booting before you can call back. This was an issue for something like 8 months after launch before it was fixed.

The only thing that has consistently frustrated me with Android on Nexus devices (Can't speak for non-Nexus devices) is the "safety" feature when plugging anything into the headphone slot. Seemingly randomly it will cut volume to 50% to protect hearing and you can't turn up the volume until you agree to a notification warning you about the potential dangers of high-volume listening. I use this in my car. I need the v…
You can disable that if you root your phone or install a custom ROM. Just saying.
This should be a disclaimer when buying the phone then.

Iphone does the same thing when the media volume is set above the "safe" limit. It's a regulatory requirement not some Android bug.

OP: did you edit the title? it was "Should The Inability To Hear On A Nexus 6 Be A Small (Low Priority) Issue?" and it looked appropriate enough to me. This is about Google's neglect more than about the issue itself.
I agree. Not sure why the title was edited. This was my post. It was my intention to get conversation going around why Google feels it is low priority for a phone to be able to fulfill its primary function effectively.
I purchased a used Nexus 5 because I got tired of all modifications and dropped support on my verizon branded phone. I assumed that as a Google product it would have the best functioning version of Android. But in the past few weeks it's become readily apparent that Android 5.0 is beta software. It just has too many major issues like the one in OP. For me, the most major issue is the memory leak that causes the entir…
> But in the past few weeks it's become readily apparent that Android 5.0 is beta software. It just has too many major issues like the one in OP. For me, the most major issue is the memory leak that causes the entire home screen to be knocked out of memory. Usually a few times a week the leak is so bad that the currently running app will be closed down while it's in the foreground! This is why after a T-Mobile G2, a…
So this leaves my thinking I will not get a Nexus as my next phone. I would rather get an iPhone or a HTC/Samsung. I won't do the same mistake for the third time. I love nexus and his potential but Google doesn't care about their costumers.

From where did you get that regulatory requirement information?
The user can choose to override the limit so that the sound level can be increased up to maximum 100dB. If the user overrides the limit, warnings about the risks must be repeated every 20 hours of listening time. "

The "repeated every 20 hours" would explain why OP was seeing the warning seemingly randomly.
