Loudspeaker isn't really classed as using it as a phone neither is shouting down the phone or talking into the top of the phone etc. Things I already tried when I had mine.



There's only so much us as a consumer can do to get around this issue.



It wasn't just the microphone for me. The audio used to massively break up too to the point where my contacts would get very pi$$ed off after I kept asking them to repeat every single sentence several times. I'm sure you would too.



Google failed to acknowledge there was any problem with the phone. So far I've not met anyone who hasn't got this issue. My sister has the Nexus 4 which also has this issue but not as bad as my Nexus 5 did.
