Just to make you all aware.
On my first 6p bottom speaker was noticeably more quiet. I thought its they way it has to be. Only when I got replacement I realised it must have been faulty. Now both speakers sound evenly and it is louder then previous one.

I have ordered mine on the 1/10 from CPW. Got it this Monday. It had a small kind of dent in bottom back cover so got a replacement yesterday and now it has a pink tint on top.
Speakers are awesome though.

Have the same issue on mine. The bottom speaker sounds noticeably muted compared to the top. It's really the only issue with this one so I'm worried about RMAing and getting something worse.

The speakers too? OMG is there anything not being defective with this new phone? I keep reading people having issues with the display, speakers, body damage, there was even a report of a device shutting down on it's own and unable to boot completely...Is it the same with every Nexus launch? I can't remember reading about that many issues with the Nexus 6

This is my 4th Nexus device. My Nexus 7 (2012) was perfect as far as I could tell but others experienced issues with theirs. My Nexus 7s (2013) all had phantom touch and random rebooting issues. I went through 5 RMAs before I cut my losses and sold the new one they sent me. My Nexus 5 was mostly fine a little bit of button rattling but other than that no issues and still going strong. Now onto my 6P with speaker issues. It's frustrating to go through this but I really love these devices and Google has great customer service. I just expect when I pay $500 for something that it will function properly.

Same issue here. Noticed something was off right away. First time I've had to RMA a Nexus device.
Thanks for the heads up!
I tested my speakers and MAN I AM HAPPY!
I'm coming from the OG G2 and its the best phone on the planet (besides its 1 backside speaker)
So its like I went from last to first. I love how loud the 6p is.
One of first things I did when I got mines. The top speaker on mines sounded louder. So then I tried flipping the phone around and the now top speaker (which is the bottom speaker) sounded louder. So now I think mine are fine lol.
EDIT: I then tried covering each speaker with my finger and the top sounds louder. Honestly it does not sound any way to me though so dont think I will be RMA mine.
What I did notice, at full volume both seem to be the same....however at 50% or less the top seems a little louder.
the sad thing is I just got a bluetooth speaker in and its great and loud. My old phone had such a small speaker(lg g2). The 6p is as loud as my new bluetooth speaker so its not needed as much.

Funny thing is I did the same thing. Flipped the phone around and the top was a little louder. I wonder if it could just be a software issue? Either way everything else (especially the screen) is good on my device. I can't be bothered to RMA for something that probably will be fixed with software. If it is hardware on my device it's nearly unnoticeable.
I called google today about this and they said it was intentional and that replacing the device will not change it.
Apparently a lot of people are calling about it.
man... mine is like this, i was hoping i just had bad hearing. do i want to rma it and risk getting a device with something else wrong....

Don't do it, i returned my first for a tiny defect in the corner of the plastic holding the screen in and got one with a worse defect right next to rhe power button.. Waiting for my third, should have stuck with the first!
Its barely noticeable but my top one is every so slightly crisper and louder. But its one those things where id never have noticed had I not seen this post so I see no reason to RMA.
Here is a test viddy for the speakers

Hey everyone, I just got my N7 in the mail and I was thrilled to finally play around with it as I'm sure we all were. However I've noticed the quality of the external speaker is really really bad.
First off I have to turn the volume almost halfway up before I can even hear anything, and in a quiet room too. As I turn the volume up I can hear a lot of static and just crackling noises, I'm pretty sure I received a bad unit :/
Even attempting to listen to the transformers movie I can hardly make out a line of dialog, music sounds terrible as well.
I've been looking around and I haven't seen anyone else mentioning this sort of thing, does anyone else have this issue? I managed to find one video on YouTube comparing the speaker of the N7 with other devices and it sounds noticeably better than mine.
*UPDATE*
I've just received an email back from the play store complete with custom checkout link to order my new N7 at no charge. Provided of course the defective unit is returned within 21 days, or I'm charged for the new one. they've provided the necessary shopping label to print out and use for the return as well. So here's hoping the new one will be in perfect working order.

That's what I was afraid of, doesn't seem like anyone else has issues with it. Hopefully it doesn't become some huge hassle to replace. Especially if they're still filling pre-orders who knows how long it'll take to get back.

I just got off the phone with Google play, they've had reports of this already and no questions asked they're sending out a replacement within 24hrs. At least that's what they told me, no fuss, and no muss. Speakers f'd up, ok we'll send a new one out. It was that easy.
So while yes it's disappointing it isn't that bad because you'll get to keep the defective unit to toy with until your replacement arrives. So no Nexus withdrawal for the time being. The only issue is waiting on the phone long enough to get through. Make it past that and you're golden.

I have the same exact problem with the speaker on my nexus 7. I called Google yesterday and told them about my problem. The guy had me do a factory reset, which obviously was not gonna solve the problem. He then told me that I would be emailed by a specialist within the next 48 hours about what to do next. I have not gotten an email yet. I really wish they would just send me a new one. I feel like it may be weeks before I have a new one.
Same issue here
I tried calling earlier today and ran out of time and had to hang up before i got through. called again a few minutes ago and i was only on hold for about a minute. The guy i spoke with said he had to escalate it as a DOA and i should hear back in the next couple of days via email.
Seems like they are actively working to fix their service issue. i got an email confirming that it was being escalated and the email states that if something else occurs to me i can just reply back to that email and it was be filed away to the specialist dealing with me. that is pretty nice.
now i just wait and just use it with headphones or a BT speaker.
I too have this, was working day one, then the next in the middle of the afternoon it went bad and crackly. Damn.

It took me almost an hour to get through, I actually just plugged in some headphones and went about my day at work while on hold. Just keep at and they'll pick up eventually.
As of now I haven't heard anything else back as far as a new device making its way out to me. I did receive the same email though about my call being forwarded to a specialist to handle everything.

Crackling, Distortions at higher than 1/2 volume
Mine gets distorted and crackly above 1/2 volume. It's especially noticeable when listening classical music at FULL volume.
Can you guys test this out and see if this is a problem for you? Or is it just crappy speakers that everyone has?

Mine came fine and worked perfect at full volume. Then the next day it all of a sudden started to act up and sound weird when you get above 75%. I am going to RMA, I'm waiting for the email from the tech.
Replaced device has Crackling speaker!
It maybe just my bad luck but I just got my replacement device today (first one had dead pixels), and right when i turned it on i could faintly hear a crackling in the speakers. Am I able to get a second replacement device? I really don't want to go through the hour long calling waits again lol.

Sure do. And the screen issue and the tablet turning off while charging overnight issue. I have emailed google to see if I can get a replacement, but no response yet. The speaker issue seems to be alleviated by using the Equalizer App from the play store. I use the Jazz Preset and it seems to work. But still, unacceptable.

That's what I'm thinking. Speaker is very scratchy on mine above half volume, but I've got no dead pixels or screen lifting. Worried I'll get one that's worse!
Mine had a lot of distortion, though only on certain sounds/music above about 70% volume. After using the Equaliser app and tweaking the settings a bit it sounds much better.
Again, if this is a defect or just a really cheep speaker (I think the latter), no one really knows.

Yep, that's how mine is too. Can't stand even having the speaker on at all. It even scratches with the typing sounds.
I agree with others, I am nervous that the new one I get tomorrow will have all the issues I am reading about. Because the one I have now is perfect, except the crappy speaker. No other issues at all. I almost decided to keep it and try to fix it myself, but if the issue is something more than a simple fix I would make things worse.
I'll let everyone know tomorrow after 6pm (thats when UPS comes to my place) if I got a good one or not...

I got my new N7 today, and so far everything seems perfect. The speaker sounds good (well as good as the speaker can sound). There is no screen lift , and I see no dead pixels or anything bad with the screen.
I returned my old one to the Staples location about 3 miles away, and this was their first return (and I bought it online). They said they got 1000 16gig ones and 1500 8gig ones, and they had one 8gig left.
Now time to unlock, root, and TiBu backup...

Well basically people have a hard time hearing me with the bumper on. The mic is exposed but it's deep in the bumper so it destroys the sound. So in theory you have to take it off or your calls sounds muffled unless you speak up. I was talking kind of low to my brother and he said it sounded like I was covering my mouth and going in and out. Add soon as I removed the bumper he heard me crystal clear. Also if I actually take the phone from my ear and talk directly in to the mic he can hear me. But he says it's still muffled. Had many people tell me that.
Any one else?
Also, any people notice the center of the phone vibrates per spoken word when in a call and the person is talking to you? Like it's on speaker phone but it's not? Volume at normal to mid. No buzzing sounds though or cracking.
Trying to see if I need to just replace my unit or is this normal.

My Nexus 4 hasn't shipped yet and they were out of bumpers when I ordered it so I don't know exactly what it looks like. But I had a similar thing happen on another phone and I opened up the hole in the case to better expose the mic. Can you open the mic hole on the bumper?

As the title says, there's a constant static. Will changing earphones help? Or it a problem with phone itself like review sites say? Is there any solution because this static makes conversation impossible which pretty much defeats the purpose of the phone. If I get RMA will others phones also have this defect?

I have static in my earpiece with the default in call volume (which is all the way up). When I turn the volume down some I don't have it and the volume is still plenty loud. I'm not sure if it's the same noise your having.
Not sure if problem is same as yours. Noise is kinda like static which you hear in electrical interference. Something like the sound you hear from PC speaker when your phone is near it and you get a call or SMS that time. That kind of sound constant goes up and sometimes down randomly but its almost there all the time while using earpiece only, not without it. Funny thing is when I cover up the back side speaker with my hand that static goes away. Its really strange I don't know what's going on. Never had anything so irritating and unbearable on my previous galaxy s2

Known nexus 4 issue. If it's not loud enough, I recommend you to just keep it and ignore it. If it's really loud, try RMA. Mine also buzzes but I just ignore it. People think that it is due to poor shielding or something

This is an old issue. One of the first since the N4 came out. I have always wondered if it is a noise cancellation feature gone bad. Like the buzzing wasn't meant to be so loud, but for one reason or another just got a little stronger than what it was supposed to be.

I think I agree with others that its a hardware issue because when I keep my hand on speaker the problem goes away. Plus I talked to a couple of people who said they had their phones replaced up to 3 times!! And still ended up with a defective piece. Very bad on googles part, I would have been happier to pay more but at least get a reliable device in return. I had my phone imported so RMA will be hell for me and even after that there is no guarantee. Just sad on googles part, just sad.
