Re: Nexus 6 - Low in-call speaker volume
#2The amount of issues that have emerged with Lollipop on all the Nexus phones is absolutely unacceptable for a Phone Operating System.
And Google's stewardship is starting to show cracks.
Re: Nexus 6 - Low in-call speaker volume
#3I 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 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!

Starting to show cracks? It seems to me like it's only getting better.

#5Depends on how many video/audio ads Google wants to shove down your throat. Not many yet, so I guess it's not a high priority yet ;)
Google has the annoying habit of ignoring bugs that don't affect a lot of users, no matter how critical they are. This has been discussed previously on HN, not long ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8803118

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 volume max -1 click. Plugging in my phone and then wondering where the music is is infuriating. I don't want to have to pull over out of traffic just to unlock my phone so I can agree to a notification and then turn up the volume again. This wouldn't be a problem if it only asked me once, but it tends to "forget" at random times, usually when I'm in a rush and don't want to fuck with my phone.

I can see the leaks manifest during app switching as well. It takes longer than 3 seconds to change.

Is there a cultural thing within Google, where people talk about how stupid and deluded general users are?

#9OP: 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.

#10Wow...I've been burned by bad speakers before, and I was holding out for the Verizon launch on the March 12th. The phone looks amazing, but I'm not willing to risk it, especially if this issue gets marked as a low priority. Maybe it is time to get an iphone after all.
