Nexus 5 from Mumbai

Bought a 32GB Black Nexus 5 with S/N 312K from a local retail shop in Mumbai today. No Backlight bleed, only slight yellow tinge and Speaker grills seem larger than original 310K. No dead pixels either. Only problem seems to be low sound output from the speaker despite larger holes. :p

I must say, that screen is brilliant.

Will wait and see whether yellow and warm turns to white and cool. :D

LG/GOOGLE NEXUS 5 32GB BLACK, SON!
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
I own a 32gb black N5 as well but bought it month ago and its 311k. I must say that my phone has yellow tinge as well compared to Samsung's and most other displays. But I have learned that owning a Nexus means you have great developers community support for literally everything including issues like yellow tinge. There are many kernels here on XDA which tweak the display at hardware level (by modifying register values) to remove yellow tinge. I am using modified franco kernel with his color tweaks carried forward and now my N5 display has perfect whites (without being blueish) and retaining moderate natural color saturation (no over saturation sh!t like super amoled). I highly recommend to try it. You will love the display on your phone. It has amazing capabilities but misses out of the box display calibration.

Also, my experience with yellow tinge going over the time is not good. It never happened with any of phone I owned. I think its just a myth. You can wait for a month or so and check. My phone is 25+ days old now and when I flash kernel without color tweaks, I see that my phone has same level of yellow tinge as day one.
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
I had this same problem in my first device when it was on 4.4. Hangouts crashed without fail everytime I opened the app. I then removed all my restored SMS and wiped the cache and data clean but in the end I had to do a FDR to solve the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
That is not required. Tested 2 times with my replacement, nothing happens if you keep or don't keep the card in wallet. But to initiate the RMA, you def need the card to wallet as Google verifies , that it is indeed you who is doing the RMA.

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

I got my RMA yesterday, it had yellowish screen. I was worried but in just a day the screen has gotten much much better. Much brighter and whitish. I don't know how that happens but it sure has happened to mine. Confirmed.
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
As many people believe and stated here and as per my experience, its because our eyes have tendency to get used to with whatever color saturation we see. What's perfectly white is undefined but we mostly get used to with many tones of white in couple of hours and find that near perfect afterwards. If you want to try, just take any other device with electronic display and compare its white tone compared to your device. If it is significantly different, then use that other device for few hours. If it has more yellowish tinge than yours, you will find your phone display to be bluish white or vice versa. You will either hate or like your phone's display depending on if you prefer cooler or warmer tone. But again after few hours, you will get used to with your own and find it to be neutral/near perfect. When it comes to displays and colors, unless we compare things, we cant find difference and get used to with what we are seeing over the time.
[Nexus 5 General] Parithosh:
Yeah I did that this afternoon but I'm furious over the loss of data usage & talk-time for no fault of mine :mad:

Got My replacement

Hello guys.

Today I got my replacement from LG service centre after 15 days.

Its 312K and HW 11. previous was 311k and had 2 dead pixels.

No defects as of now.

Guys i am getting a weird problem .

I am not able to use 2g data on my phone , i tried to use same sim on my Lumia but its working in it but not in my phone.

i have switched two sims also. Btw both are of vodafone.

I was having a similar issue with 3G, I went to Vodafone Store in Wave Mall and got a new micro-sim and it's working perfectly
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
But the same sim worked on my 311k version so what is the problem.

Btw I am in roaming my sim is of rajasthan so i cant get a micro sim here.
[Nexus 5 General] rubenswing:
did u check your sim in another phone, to see if you were getting 2G connectivity
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
Yes i tried in my brothers lumia.

its working perfectly.

And in my phone also i have full network but the speed is very slow like 40kbps instead of 2G speed.

Can anyone tell me if the White version available on Flipkart is the new one after the Hardware Revision. (Larger speaker grill,fixed volume button rattling)

I want to get the preferably get the white one but if it is not going to be the revised one then I'll opt for the black one from the Play Store.
[Nexus 5 General] sushdroid:
Bought White Nexus 5 32GB from Sangeetha in Bangalore. 312k version. No dead pixels. Loudspeaker sound is alright but not too loud. Volume rocker and power button rattles quite a bit but I'm using the Ringke Fusion, so a case would help a little bit. Still need a micro sim though, and I thought I'll take a new one instead of using a cut sim (Network - Vodafone). This phone is an absolute beast especially for me coming from the Samsung Galaxy 551 GT-I5510 (There is no thread for this phone on XDA, only a few rom ports with many bugs). Cheers :laugh:

Try calling them up and ask. I got mine on 20th Dec from Flipkart and it is a 311 one.

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

Okay guys I received by 32 GB Black Nexus 5 on 20th December from Flipkart. Good part is it has a replacement period of 30 days. Now I've been facing some issues with the phone (some are very trivial). This is my first Nexus device and hence am a bit paranoid about things being perfect, it's sort of an OCD kicking in! :P

1) 6 times out of 10, when I'm using the People app, the contacts with a display picture kind of flicker. Sometimes only once, sometimes repeatedly. This happens when I enter a contact details and come back to the main screen of the People app. Now this is not really a big issue but it's kind of irritating and gives a feeling that something's wrong with the phone.

2) Dashclock widget: Many times when I return to the homescreen with the dashclock widget, the widget flickers. Most of the times only once. But there have been instances where it kept on flickering until I locked and unlocked the screen.

3) Power toggles - notification toggles: The toggles which are there when you pull down the notification bar. At times when you click on them, the screen blinks in contrast to most of the times when it doesn't.

4) 1 - 1.5 seconds lag on opening WhatsApp: Now this is the most trivial one but it makes me wonder why is this lag present on opening WhatsApp every time with such a fast device? Is it normal?

5) Within 10 days of usage I have faced this situation twice where the notification light refuses to go off until I reboot the phone.

6) While using OK Google to open an app, they don't open instantly (which they do sometimes so it makes me wonder why not always).

Now I know many of these are really noob questions but I'm still learning and new to these things so help would be greatly appreciated :)

Planning to buy 32gb nexus 5 from australia-need help

hello everyone.

first of all happy new year, this is is my first post in xda, sorry in case i didnt cater to some norms.

I am from india-delhi, my cousin lives in australia (brisbane), he will be coming to delhi in feb. I was looking after a cool and value for money device finally found nexus 5. i m having few queries related to this.

"Since device bought from Australia will not be having international warranty, is it wise to go ahead, as i have seen in few posts that's its having issue with some particular hardware, Which hardware version i will be getting and form which country make device i m getting if anyone having idea regarding this as well. and i will be buying directly from Australia Google play store."

since i m novice seriously needs experienced members advice and guidance on this. immediate revert will be really helpful as its showing 10-15 days delivery time, need to tell him within 1-2 days.

Regards

Deepak
[Nexus 5 General] :
Issued RMA and its more than 5 days yet no pickup from shipper !! Btw my friend bought a 312 batch one and its way too yellowish than mine(mine is 311 build black 32 gig), I am afraid what version I might get also worried about yellowish screen !!
[Nexus 5 General] :
I would suggest buy from India!
[Nexus 5 General] aditya4snr:
Black or White

This question is for those who are already using the Nexus 5

I prefer the White one... but is it something like it gets dirtier or the colour fades after some time?

I watched many videos but they were all brand new out of the box phones.... I want feedback from a month old phones...

Thank you:)
[Nexus 5 General] atishey23:

You will not get international warranty. If you purchase in Feb, you will get 402k batch phone. Don't worry too much about warranty. These phones do not have too many problems.

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Yes
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
I don't understand the fuss about batch. 310k, 311k, 312k just indicate the month and year of manufacturing. Nothing more, nothing less! Google and LG have not made any revision to hardware yet and all the differences noted in hardware by now are because of slight variations in manufacturing processes. Those difference are very random in nature and have no particular pattern with respect to manufacturing month as of now (till 312k). So what's the fuss?
[Nexus 5 General] anuseb89:
I think its the biggest joke of last year..hw revision is still 11..and may be if we wait another 3 4 months , we may get 12.. :D
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Call Google "Indian" support and not the US one, and tell them this in a harsh tone, they will put your case in highest priority. Happened to me too and I did the same, and I got the call from shipper in 15 mins.
[Nexus 5 General] :
I did, now waiting for my call :)

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

I do have fuss avout that, even its the slightest variations you do like to get the newest version right ? I do like to get things as of its newest version and of latest build, I did RMA for legitimate set of issues. Wonders what version and build they would give out for my black 32 gig replacement !! Hope its atleast 311 build with no yellowish display.
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
I was saying just that that there is no hardware revision and slight changes are random as they are not intentional. So how can it be claimed as new version? And what's the point in seeking that then? Come on! Its not a automobile! Manufacturing time is not stamped on hardware or software in electronics. Newer version won't help you in getting better resale value or warranty! :)

And as time goes by and as product life cycle tends toward end, chance of getting remanufactured product increases. 1-5% electronics have recalls as DOA and they are remanufactured and recirculated in market with new serial numbers. Another 10-15% devices recalled due to defects well within warranty period are refurbished and sold as RMA/warranty replacements or with refurbished tag at lesser price. Magnitude of all such things goes up with life cycle of product. So its better to get device as early as possible and keep it unless it has noticeable flaws.
[Nexus 5 General] aditya4snr:
Thanks buddy... Yeah I watched the videos online about the different backs of nexus 5....

[Nexus 5 General] sidh10:
Just got my Nexus . (elated). I had ordered it on 17th December on the Google Play Store, it left warehouse on 27th December. It was held for inspection for a couple of days and my shipment tracking number was not active for more than 3 days. Called Google Play a couple of times and emailed Google Play support. My tracking number finally became active on 31st late night and it reached my place today. I live in Kolkata and Gati was my carrier. I have 312 batch and I think I can spot one dead pixel. No plans of returning the phone. Btw, I did not get a RMA form or anything. I just got a receipt and the box itself.

I ordered yesterday at 10:50 AM. That time seller was shown as FADKA. But now in my order summary it is showing as WSRETAIL.

At present 32gb model is available on flipkart from WSRETAIL.
[Nexus 5 General] gaurav2009:
Well all the batches have something wrong and something right...these are my conclusions what i have read here-

310k-Some have dust and dead pixels under screen and button rattling on vol and power button.

311k-This was improved and 99% of phone have perfect screen(no dust or dead pixels) and button rattling was still present but not for all..

312k-Dont know much..speaker grill has larger holes(dont know about improvement though)...some reported yellow tint on screen...
[Nexus 5 General] passion4games:
thanks buddy that's really encouraging, will go ahead with this.. but i will be ordering in a day or two, since delivery is late cant take risk of getting it delayed. so their wont be any issue wrt to serial number version ?

You can opt for a high capacity powerbank unless you are a frequent traveller. You will find a lot of options on flipkart,ebay,amazon etc. On the other hand, you can also try out the franco kernel as it provides better results in terms of battery life.

Guys, I dropped my Nexus 5 and the screen is shattered (though the phone very much works). I bought it from Google Play (India). Will LG service it or do I have to contact google directly?

Also , does anyone have any idea how much LG will charge for the screen? It's physical damage , so Warranty is probably out of the window.
[Nexus 5 General] AhmedFaiz:
Just from my info of using the phone for more than a month now. I didn't face any issues as people mentioned above. I use a ringke fusion and buttons are really well in it. Ya the screen is little yellowish but if you use kernel with color tweaks like elementalx you can get much cooler blue color. Come on guys this is nexus 5 development just taking off more hacks and tweaks are gone come out. Just enjoy it's user experience rather than nagging about it, would be nice if you could find solutions yourself.
