[Nexus 6  General] R1skNt:
same here, i noticed the issue on first day when i bought the nexus 6, it happens when listening to a simple musics when I raise the volume to max it drops after sometime and it doesn't matter if the battery at 15 or 100 it happens to me at all situations with the stock rom and again with cm13

it's really annoying, any solutions for that?

have you guys tried Viper|boost? i read about it but i don't know if it solves the problem
[Nexus 6  General] rignfool:
My new experiment has been using [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]'s v4a... Newest version... With musicfx frozen with titanium backup

Haven't run it long enough for a good sample yet
[Nexus 6  General] pankozin:
Same issue here, happy to be in your club. Happily, My volume drops only on 1 rocker volume step.
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
I've had mind blowing results experimenting with v4a. Especially with my Beats Solo2 headphones. It really does make a massive difference in quality!
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
You think thats great try adding the latest test version of elite kernel..... even better
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
Ahh excellent. Thanks, I'll give it a try!
[Nexus 6  General] Gandalf_the_white:
Have the same problem. Volume drops irrespective of battery percent but rotating the phone causes it to become normal and then go low again. Would a kernel change fix it?
[Nexus 6  General] rignfool:
After MUCH testing... I have no clear cut cause or fix...

IN MY TESTING...

Mpdecision is good... Musicfx is bad... Fauxsound is bad...

Whether a kernel has anything to do with it (excluding fauxsound)... I can't tell...

I've had a reboot fix it... I've had a reboot mess up what was working fine...

I've had the automatic gain control fix make it worse...

Everyone(with real knowledge) blames the flakey sound amp chip in the phone
[Nexus 6  General] Gandalf_the_white:
Someone on reddit said switching to Singularity kernel fixed it for them. The problem only surfaced for me last month after the February security patch. It was fine till then. Got the phone in September. If it's completely an hardware issue Is an RMA my only option?

Thanks for the reply.
[Nexus 6  General] pankozin:
Most likely, you will receive a phone with the same problem... Just live with it, or throw it away, for 6p :p btw, in youtibrYouTube, I have no sound fluctuations.
[Nexus 6  General] ozzmanj1:
For a long time I was elemental kernel. Recently switched to lean kernel and have no audio fluctuating issues and rotating screen in any audio/video app (Google play music/YouTube) does not cause the audio to pause while rotating from portrait to landscape and back. I was also having an issue with the display getting messed up during YouTube (made a q&a thread about it last week). Lean kernel fixed that as well. Needless to say I am very happy.

Like, the hissing crackling noises? Motorola said it was software related? I've had THAT issue on my Nexus 6 for the longest time! And the volume lowering and raising is something recent for me, but it's software related? In that case, a possible software update should be able to fix this theoretically? I'm hoping Android N nails these issues!

How to boost Nexus 6 speakers and headphones volume

Even though you don’t need any mods to flash, you must be rooted in order to edit the system file. Follow this guide how to root the Nexus 6. Once you’ve made sure that your Nexus 6 is rooted, continue with the guide below.

Increasing speaker volume

You need to have a file manager which can access system files on your phone. A great app is ES File Explorer.

Go to /system/etc folder and find a file called “mixer_paths.xml”.

Open the file using an editor and look for the line “<path name=”speaker”>.

Below that, there should be a line “RX7 Digital Volume” value=”.

Change the value from whatever it is to a higher one.

Make sure to increase the values one by one so you don’t destroy the speaker.

Also Read: How To Increase Speaker Volume & Boost Sound on All Android 5.0 Lollipop Devices

Increasing headphones volume

To increase the headphones volume, open the same file again using a text editor.

Search for <path name=”headphones”>.

Below that, there are two other lines: “HPHL Volume” value=” and “HPHR Volume” value=”15″.

Each of those values is for each side of the headphones.

[Nexus 6  General] Batou Prime:
Hi, I have tried everything in this thread. Nothing works. When I tilt the phone the volume is restored then quickly fades again. There is a youtube video that shows this. So then I started wondering if the problem could be linked to the sensors inside the phone? I am no coder, but I do follow this site frequently about rooting and such. I love the nexus 6, even stock. I just wish there was a fix for the volume drop. My wife's samsung avant has better volume!
[Nexus 6  General] juggamonkey:
I'm I'm the same boat nothing works wish I could find a solution
[Nexus 6  General] 31ken31:
I'm running N preview 2 and I personally haven't noticed it happening any more. And it was noticeable on mm.

[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
I wouldn't want to flash or, even if it fixed it.
[Nexus 6  General] chillboyryan:
im having the same thing happening on mine will even do at full battery if i true the volume back down and the back up if will work for a minute and then true back down
[Nexus 6  General] rignfool:
So... I have a new theory... and if you, in particular, still have the device... I'd love for you to try this...

Pick any custom kernel with fauxsound or francosound...

Grab [MENTION=4231562]Yoinx[/MENTION]'s KA mod...

Open the sound tab...

Pull the gain down on whatever is labeled an output by at least -10...

Fire up your racing game... or music... on where ever you heard your throttle issue...

My theory is... Google/Motorola effed up... and we have been overdriving all of our outputs since day 1...

I recently did this... and the volume in my car(my original issue) flattened out... and... I noticed a decrease in heat in the head unit, in the summer... it also put volume for the radio on par with my phone for the first time ever...
[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
I still have the device but I'm running an old 5.1 for stock as I needed compatibility for some.game (modern combat 4) but I just got a console so don't game any more.

I'll update to M soon then see what happens though, I haven't really been using the speaker's for a while.
[Nexus 6  General] oneWAYup7:
In case someone is still lurking on this thread, I had the issue with multiple MM rooms, tried the Beats Audio mod but couldn't make it work and decided to install a LP room today. I've tested it briefly and the issue seems to be resolved. I used the latest LP release from the Pure Nexus team.
[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
I'm having both of these issues on my device! Been that way since I got it brand new out of the box (paid full price for it!) It's confirmed to be a software issue then? Can you link me to the source? I've been trying to get to the bottom of these issues myself with no luck at all :/
[Nexus 6  General] DrDee:
This issue bothered me for quite a while, I use my phone on speaker quite often for work and the volume lowering issue started and was driving me crazy.

I successfully fixed it by going to 'settings/battery/battery optimisation' selecting the all apps drop down and turned off optimisation for anything that used the speaker. Have not had the problem since.
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
and what happened to your battery life?
[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
I'm gonna try that! You're a lifesaver is this works man! [emoji2]
[Nexus 6  General] |Jason8|:
Funny enough, I did this 15 minutes before for Snapchat and it resolved all my friggen camera lag at low battery, too. Going to try it for my music apps as well and see what happens.
[Nexus 6  General] vivebatu:
OK so this issue started happening a couple of weeks back on my 5 month old nexus ( bot brand new and is currently under warranty)... My speakerphone volume gets lower to almost inaudible levels if I play anything through the phone speakers - music, YouTube videos, locally stored videos etc.

I tried out all solutions mentioned in this thread and more. Specifically,

1) I first installed lollipop 5.1, did not work,

2) removed all programs that use speakerphone from battery optimization, did not work,

3) installed beats audio mod, did not work,

4) tried kernel with francosound and KA app, modified audio gain, did not work

5) tried the pure nexus ROM, it brings back the volume after I rotate the phone but goes down again after 2 mins , so did not work

I'm beginning to wonder if this is a hardware fault but not sure.

If it's a software issue, then the fix is still not found.

In 2 minds here whether to give the phone back under warranty since not sure if the new one will have the same issue

Frustrating, to say the least !!!
[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
It happened to me as well, precisely after I dropped it. That tells me it's most like hardware related. Wat I did was gently tapping the phone edges in a table, to simulate a soft drop, and it did work for me. Since then it's working fine. Can't assure it will work though, but maybe worth a try.
[Nexus 6  General] rignfool:
I believe it has to do with battery voltage and the sound hardware...

Try your experiment with a full battery and see if it does it...

No Audio during calls(GSM, Whatsapp, Skype and Hangout)

I'm having issues with built in speaker(direct device). Other parties are able to hear me out but i can't hear them. Device does not activate speakers during the GSM, Whatsapp, Skype and Hangout calls. occasionally it works if i rotate the device but soon audio goes away. When i launch Youtube or Soundcloud app, audio works fine in built in speakers. I have already tried all steps including factory reset. I have tried disableing MusicFX, Messenger permission etc but no luck. I'm using original ROM(non-rooted). Can someone please assist.
[Nexus 6  General] vivebatu:
Well I have tried at all battery levels and the behavior is the same -100% or 15% , does not matter.

Hardware bug likely, will have to go back to stock and send the phone for repair under warranty I guess

[Nexus 6  General] vivebatu:
So to send back the phone under warranty , I flashed back the factory image . Now the speaker volume comes back to normal as soon as the phone is rotated , so there is some link to the accelerometer... This should not be happening , never seen this on any phone ever
[Nexus 6  General] Scythe:
Issue is not based on your particular phones or hardware defects, I advise you read http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/devs-only/speaker-amplifiers-nxp-tfa9890-research-t3236518 . Our n6 amplifier chip is weird and also qualcomm drivers is forcing our phones to throttle for mildly high temps and low battery voltages.

Most kernels we use(stock also) has bcl enabled which causes cpu throttle during low voltages and sometimes high cpu loads. If you use a kernel which disables it(e.g. hellscore) you will not face this volume lowering untill very low battery levels. Also there is some feature in nexus 6 or android itself(5.0+) which force all sounds ascend gradually which also contributes in this problem and to fix this one check this post http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-tentative-fix-messenger-whatsapp-t3272992 and delete all helper functions(AT YOUR OWN RISK OFC).

And for a little more extra, try to use viper mod which really gives you good sound experience.

But all of this has a major drawback, when all these things above applied you will start to suffer from low battery shutdowns, which mainly caused by battery voltage level is dropping below 3000mV which is unstable(try to take a hdr picture when having less than %10 battery) for most devices and below 3500mV either some driver or our amplifier chip is causing volume lowering effect(probabaly chip itself does not like low voltages as all chips), which these days I'm trying to find and disable it. BCL driver itself is protecting you from these random shutdowns by thresholding your cpu and shutting down your cores.

So replacement phones will not save you, maybe your battery is good condition but after some time same things will start to happen.

Which means;

- keep your battery voltage high.

- try calibration thing in Speaker amplifier post.

- Try to use non Bcl or other thermal throttle driver kernels.

[Nexus 6  General] wilbur-force:
The speaker volume lowering is definitely linked to the accelerometer. I get it every so often. Every time it happens screen rotate is broken too. I have a rubber case on my phone and a couple of strong taps of my phone top right/left on the table loosens whatever is jammed again and it all works fine.

Equally the other day my earphone speaker stopped working. Also fixed by a couple of things. And I'm being genuine here - no wind up. I have never had a phone where so many faults can be fixed my force !?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoclooney:
I'm on SaberMod 5.0.2 and have the VRUEMJ9 modem. I've had the VRAMC modem as well and my LTE coverage has generally been appalling. I'd like to try the ND7 modem (or even one of the older VRALLJB or VRALL4 modems)--I'm under no illusion that it will magically fix anything, but again my current service is so bad that I'll try anything.

I found the nd7_radio.zip file easily enough, and the older modem files are at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2577809. My problem is that I can't get any of them to install through TWRP, as I keep getting the "error executing updater binary in zip" error.

I thought these files were flashable through TWRP (I do have the latest 2.8.6.0 version). I've read some posts that it's easier to use Odin, but I've also seen plenty of posts that say TWRP should work.

I'd rather not use Odin--if that means I'm stuck with my current modem then I can live with that. But if there is a way to install another I'd like to try. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I installed nd7 through twrp that's weird. The modem won't make your signal better. With that said the mj9 has always been a fan favorite. I'd just stick with that.
