[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
The galaxy nexus purple screen was way worse than a loose power button. I NEVER want to go through the hassle of something like that again.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Yep my GNex had screen tint and my S3 has a yellow screen tint. Turned me off to amoled screens.

Sent from my SGH-I747
[Nexus 5 General] randpost:
I can't wait. You are right though. My first N4 had cosmetic issues. I purchased another N4 during the price drop when they were getting rid of inventory and it was perfection.

Every time I take my note 3 out of my pocket I adjust the button. Annoying.
[Nexus 5 General] drew_grant:
I guess the only real problem I have with the Nexus 5 is...it isn't here yet. Hopefully that'll be the only problem when it does get here though.
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
I really hope Nokia somehow manages to build the next Nexus. It would be built like a tank!
[Nexus 5 General] Oreo13:
If I'm correct there will be a nokia android phone some time in the future. It is the same design team behind the lumias. I read it somewhere I think androidspin.com.

Its not the same company name nokia but same ppl before Microsoft bought them.
[Nexus 5 General] elementaldragon:
Seriously don't see that happening. haha

As for the button rattle.... it's not entirely that unbelievable... or even unexpected. Hell, look at the Galaxy S3. LOTS of people seemed to complain about it's power/volume buttons rattling. I guess they failed to realize that the buttons usually aren't CONNECTED to anything... just sitting in a cavity where they cannot (easily) become dislodged, and function as intended.
[Nexus 5 General] Covart:
Somehow, I don't see 'Nokia' building much of anything outside of Windows phones. Maybe 'Newkia' will. Or someone is getting a new Kia. I don't know.
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
Think about it: LG has built 2 Nexus in a row, there is a possibility that Samsung will have their own OS, Motorola belongs to Google so I doubt they will build a Nexus. That leaves Nokia, Sony, HTC?

Sorry for off topic, but I don't want to start a new thread.
[Nexus 5 General] Kristi-Tech:
What if..what if Apple will build the next Nexus? :rolleyes: :D
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
If that ever happens I would then, and only then buy a Windows phone.
[Nexus 5 General] BioSoiD:
Hello, can anyone run StabilityTest for 5-10 min and share results. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] JUMPhil:
You probably mean Jolla. Their device(s) won't run Android, but Sailfish OS (based on MeeGo), which however can run Android apps.
[Nexus 5 General] :
No. He means Newkia. It's a group of former Nokia workers that have formed a new company. They are working on an android phone.
[Nexus 5 General] ChrisM75:
I bet they complained about faulty batteries, pealing, poor quality anodisation and how iOS 7 'broke' their phone.
[Nexus 5 General] alexktz:
Funny you should say that.
[Nexus 5 General] Phazmos:
That's the best thing I've seen since the ship confirmation I got this morning!
[Nexus 5 General] :
I also had a dead pixel on my new N5. Returned & got a new one.
[Nexus 5 General] Shambolicuk:
Got mine today and really like it so far, i have a slight rattle from the power button but its nothing really.

One thing im not sure about is that as im holding the phone in portrait mode i dont seem to be getting any sound from the right speaker grille, if i cover the left grille with my thumb the sound is then muffled as nothing seems to be coming from the right speaker. Can anyone confirm this is the same on their device ? Cheers.
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
there is only a single mono speaker, not dual stereo speakers

the right "speaker" is a microphone
[Nexus 5 General] maidenboston:
power button rattles for me when i shake the phone
[Nexus 5 General] Kenneth131:
yeah mine does as well on the one I just received. No matter its a design. However I was unlucky enough to have a device that the vibrate motor is DOA sucks to be me. So phoning el goog to get this RMA'd only my luck.
[Nexus 5 General] phillipm:
I've got lots of dead pixels, a line of them! and 1 by itself. It rattles too but i'm not bothered about this.
[Nexus 5 General] Shambolicuk:
Also, does anyone elses autobrightness keep turning itself to maximum by itself?
[Nexus 5 General] MattSkeet:
I have a minimal screen bleed at the top edge of the screen ...only visible when whole screen I'd dark
[Nexus 5 General] untalented893:
Does anyone know if you RMA a phone with Google, do they send you a replacement then ask you to return the faulty phone once you get the replacement or do they wait until they receive the faulty phone before shipping the replacement? Would suck to go without a phone for a week or two while they replace it.
[Nexus 5 General] nitzer71:
I had a dead pixel on top right of the screen. Waiting for Google to send me a new one and hope that one will be fine. I read that so many people had pixel issues with their N5 that I start to wonder if they are not all like that...
[Nexus 5 General] maidenboston:
few specs of dust

i got a few specks of dust under the screen :(
[Nexus 5 General] OneChance:
I'm sad to see that this phone is having so many problems. I have opted to stay clear of it for a while anyway after 4 phones that I could not bring myself to accept due to defects I got my money back. Just for information.

Phone 1. Dead pixel and vibration issue

Phone 2. Annoying button problem

Phone 3. Annoying button problem and vibration issue

Phone 4. All was okay until I realised dirt under the screen.
[Nexus 5 General] Fluba:
My power button also rattles a little bit. It's not enough to make me consider returning the phone, but it definitely isn't as snug as the Volume rocker.
[Nexus 5 General] OneChance:
If you had one like I had with the rattle believe me it would annoy you, I have a couple without the issue; you would know if you had the same issue.
[Nexus 5 General] raptir:
If you bought it from the Play Store, they send you a link to buy a new one and you have some amount of time (I think two weeks?) to return the phone after they ship the new one.
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
These recent posts are making me nervous. Let's hope lg did a better job on quality control and these are isolated issues.
[Nexus 5 General] nitzer71:
After 2 calls to Google support I am still not clear how the RMA process is working. There are 2 steps. 1st step is order your replacement device via a Link. Then 2nd step is the one I find unclear... Send the damaged device back to the repair center inserting the RMA form into the shipping box and attach the pre-paid UPS label to the shipping box. I got the RMA form attached to the email with the email instructions, but where and how do I get the pre-paid UPS label??? Anyone having some experience with Google RMA process? Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Castro27:
This kind of problem always happens in the first batch of every product. It's one of the perks of being an early adopter I think. Relax, the next batch/revision will probably fix these issues
[Nexus 5 General] NatTheCat:
Well I got a defect free Nexus 5 and I'm glad to say I'm very happy. I know everyone is not so lucky :(
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
The vibration motor in the N5 does indeed suck. Never commented on it to say mines was "broken", as it isn't, its just really crap.
[Nexus 5 General] raiderep:
Got mine today and I can find zero issues with it. No button rattle, vibrate is fine and screen is beautiful. Sorry others are having bad luck but it is the luck of the draw with being an early buyer.
[Nexus 5 General] maidenboston:
Even when u shake the phone, the power button doesn't rattle for u?
[Nexus 5 General] casonswag:
Why would u be shaking your phone in normal use ?
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
You sure it isn't the camera lens? Those will generally rattle due to the way they are installed and it is normal.
[Nexus 5 General] filthykid:
Hope someone will shed a light on that
[Nexus 5 General] disk0360:
Well the vibration motor is definitely b0rked. It was fine when I first open the phone yesterday and I started to notice late last night the motor just getting lazier and noisier. Nothing wrong with my screen so very disappointed as I will be without a phone if I return it now :(
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
A few people were talking about the process in detail in another thread but can't seem to find it anywhere now. Something was said about google sending new phone, charging your card 200? Dollars, then you putting your phone in the new phones box and sending it back and then they take the charge off or something like that. :o

Maybe they'll chime in with the detailed information.
[Nexus 5 General] Barff1984:
Mine arrived yesterday, no problems... No rattle... A happy customer.
[Nexus 5 General] alan-31:
Buy a used unlocked Pantech burst from Ebay for say around $60-80 (brand new is 100). You should have a backup phone in any case (theft or damage). There's a good Cygeogenmod rom for it here too.
[Nexus 5 General] Azra2k:
Got mine today also. From the problems reported here:

- dead or stuck pixels: none that i can see. I tested the screen and looked close but nothing visible.

- vibration issues: vibration seems good, strong and no excessive noise detected. On-touch vibration is also ok with almost 0 noise. I compared vibration response/strength/noise with One S and an old S2

- power button rattle: yeah, I have this one. it happens when I tap the screen in upper-right area. It is small, but audible if you are looking for it. Does not bother me though.

- speaker: speaker is loud enough. I do suspect it is software limited due to EU laws like my previous phones. The S2 had a big boost in volume once I removed those restrictions so hoping it is the same with N5.

I love the phone and only "hate" one feature: the camera position. I am not used to its position and my fingers seem to easily get in front of the lens. Guess I am holding it wrong :D
[Nexus 5 General] maidenboston:
i was just asking if it rattles when shaken. i wasnt saying anything else.

i notice the button to be snug sometimes

and at some point, it feels loose.

but either way..when i shake the phone, it will always rattle...

so when people say their power button is snug, i was wondering if it would still rattle if shaken

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

camera lens rattles too but i was already aware thats the norm for these phones
[Nexus 5 General] raptir:
The UPS label should have been attached to the e-mail. If it's not, I'd e-mail them back/call them.

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

Apple does this with the iPhone also. It would look stupid to have a single speaker grille on one side and a small dot for a microphone on the other.
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
I understand, sort of, your hesitation about the second grille being for the mic rather than for a speaker, but equivalent to lying? I don't agree. This is hardly the first phone to utilize aesthetics like this, so it shouldn't be surprising to people who are "in the know", and most everyone else wouldn't ever notice or care.

You have a long laundry list of issues about the phone; maybe you should consider something else. There are lots of decent phones for sale on Swappa in the same price point as the N5 that are in great shape; you could probably break even on another model phone if you put your brand new N5 up there.
[Nexus 5 General] justinverschoor:
I got the same problem that the nexus makes a rattle by the power and volume button. Also the vibration sounds cheap to me but i think for the price you pay is just fine.
[Nexus 5 General] marinierb:
Oh, never mind!
[Nexus 5 General] solidturk:
N5 arrived yesterday. No dead pixels and the slightest of rattles which is not a problem for me as I will never shake the phone like that. All in all, I'm happy with the build and personally didn't have any problems with a day one order/purchase of my N4 either so I guess I'm lucky.
[Nexus 5 General] GSLEON3:
"The button rattles when I shake the phone.", reminds me of the old joke: Patient: "Doctor, my arm hurts whenever I raise it like this." Doctor: "Don't raise your arm like that then.".
[Nexus 5 General] JulianHSV:
Does anyone have problems with push notifications?

Or had Google fixed this bug from Nexus 4?
[Nexus 5 General] rivlez:
I always walk around shaking my Nexus 5. I wouldn't have it any other way.
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
Be more specific about the issue. Describe what's not getting pushed.
[Nexus 5 General] JulianHSV:
On Nexus 4 there were delays when I got push notifications for example whatsapp messages.

so my question was there is the same bug on Nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 General] Rarelyamson:
Google+ Widget

Posted this in the UK thread but didn't get a reply:

Anyone else having an issue adding the Google+ widget to the home screen? Mine just won't have it?

Of all the widgets... you'd kinda expect this one to work

Thanks

Update:

Oooops... User Error! Please ignore! You need to open the app and configure first before adding the widget!
[Nexus 5 General] zorbakun:
+1 specially Whatsapp? it was a known issue on Nexus 4
[Nexus 5 General] comcor:
I don't know about whatsapp, but I had the issue with the n4 and push notifications (whether gmail or hangouts) which I believe is what you're referring to (the one where everyone was trying to change some settings related to ARP filtering). This appears to not be a problem with the n5 in the day I've had it.
[Nexus 5 General] Gorgenapper:
Q: My iPhone 4 signal strength drops when I hold it in my hand!

"Just don't hold it that way."
[Nexus 5 General] 0Reefa:
Anyone else having people on the other end of the phone call unable to hear you or finding you sounding very distant? I have to speak loudly and directly into the microphone for them to hear me.. I'm assuming it's the noise cancellation?

Common fault?
[Nexus 5 General] djskarpia:
i definitively returned my phone... i have broken haptic feedback that seems to be a motor cycle ... i ordered two nexus 5 , one black and one white and the white one was faulty... QUALITY CONTROL google...please ;(

anyone else has same problem with vibration?
[Nexus 5 General] newbieandroid:
I would rather have a phone with a rattling button than the build quality issues the HTC One has. First one I got only half the power button was accessible. The second one i got had the speaker grill not flush with the bottom and it felt like a razor. Third one I got had a half accessible power button yet again and with completely flush volume rocker. Worst experience with a brand new phone ever.
[Nexus 5 General] matt868686:
has anyone else had trouble with the stock micro USB cable?? the teeth on the male connector to the phone seem to get stuck on the soft touch plastic around the port during removal. I feel like I am ripping the cable out of the phone every time I try to disconnect it.
[Nexus 5 General] Globespy:
Discussed in another thread.

Hold the power and volume buttons tight and shake, you will likely still here the rattle.

Same thing on both my N4's - it's the camera lens apparently.
[Nexus 5 General] aaron.bufc:
I see what you mean, but the button definitely makes a louder noise. Although as I said, it isn't a problem for me.
[Nexus 5 General] shortbushemi:
Just got mine and everything is solid. Power button has no free play
[Nexus 5 General] leomd333:
same here...i don't mind the rattly buttons, but i do mind the dead pixels i have -_-
[Nexus 5 General] RankWinner:
I have a relatively minor problem, especially since it's not actually a problem with the phone.

The included LG wall wart makes a wonderful buzzing noise when I plug it into the wall, it also heats up quite a bit... I've decided to not use it since waking in a house that's on fire doesn't sound fun.
[Nexus 5 General] AHomelessGuy:
wall wart...that sounds unappealing
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
Had to turn off vibrations after today's phone usage, it's just that bad. Not so much the noise, it just feels really poor as well.
[Nexus 5 General] just4ivaylo:
The wall charger is garbage, just like it was on the Nexus 4. On the outside, it looks like it's the same one.
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
Mine is perfectly fine; cool to the touch and no audible noises emanating from it that I can tell. Doesn't seem all that different from the wall chargers I've gotten from just about every other phone manufacturer out there.
[Nexus 5 General] 2.0t03speed:
What's so bad about the vibrate?
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
It has a weak hollow feel/sound to it. Not to mention if on a low setting its far noisier than it should be. When my GS4 was on low you could still feel it clearly but the motor was silent.
[Nexus 5 General] 2.0t03speed:
Hmm I'll pay attention to mine but I didn't notice anything like that today
[Nexus 5 General] alan-31:
Yea might be returning it and getting some other used model from Swappa (mainly due to small battery but also some other things I had mentioned before).

For my N5 phone I'm seeing stationary faint horizontal lines or shades on the screen when the background is dark gray. For example in the Settings or any app if the background is dark ground. Distance between the boundaries of the shades is about 1 cm (about half inch or 1/3rd inch). These are noticeable when you scroll through the app or Settings.
[Nexus 5 General] filthykid:
Ahan, so once we put the defected phone in new box, does the courier guy takes it back right then and there on spot or do we need to go to USPS office afterwards and send it via submitting it in their office?
[Nexus 5 General] fireboypr:
+1!!!! I'm also having problems with whatsapp notifications.. It sucks so bad.. Does anyone knows if there's a fix for it? Thanks in advance.

Kind of +1 but haven't tested it that much yet..
[Nexus 5 General] hammester:
Mine is making noise when it is plugged in. Once I unplug it, it still makes noise for about 20 seconds. Seems like I got a bad charger?
[Nexus 5 General] aaron.bufc:
Same story here with the charger actually, I've decided to use my Nexus 10 one and be in the safe side.
[Nexus 5 General] androidkid311:
Was buzzing for a nexus 5 as I have a galaxy nexus. But I'm going to give it a month and see if they secretly fix it with a new batch. I don't think anyone should accept exec the slightest problem, it being a budget phone isn't an excuse. I must at the HTC one is looking better than this, but I want a bigger display and pure android so I'll wait it out.
[Nexus 5 General] peste76:
My power button also has a bit play and makes some noise when i touch it or shake the phone. But i can live with it. My last phone (in a long long history of phones all types) was an iphone 5 and there is one android phones can never top: The charger and the connector on the phone. Rough solid (specially lightning) usable on both sides (if it´s dark e.g. when you go to bed). I alway have fear that i plug in the micro usb the last time (and all around that connector breaks). But it´s the first time it seems that you can easily plug it also turned around in (the plastic there is a bit soft) - god thank i noticed id and turned it upside down. Sorry for my english, hope you understand what i mean.

So, nice phone, superb Android Version but crap button & charger. I change my phones so often it would not affect me at all :)
[Nexus 5 General] thefunkychills:
Hey guys and ladies. The only thing bad for me is the 'loud' speaker and battery life. Purchased in Australia.. Everything else is perfect.
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
There will be mods and custom kernels (allready present) to fix sound and volume bro. This is XDA ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
Noticed a bit of trapped dirt under my screen today, grrr :eek: I know it's that and not pixels as it shows when the screen is off.

Pretty shoddy there is a fair few issues with crap under the screen.
[Nexus 5 General] Bohemus:
I have the same issue with mine. Surprised with all of the people reporting this issue. Seems like poor QC to me.
[Nexus 5 General] shadowcore:
Thats sweatshop-like QC in the 21st century.One would think these devices are made in certified, dust proof factories when workers are treated with respect...

Dont worry though, all OEMs have QC issues.

Its that, or LG does what its done before with the LG OG. Their "native" device had less problems compared to the NExus 4. I assume that the G2 has none of these issues aswell.

Oh well, the nexus 5 is still a better phone.
[Nexus 5 General] PhilipL:
Hi

I've noticed the same, two very fine specks of dust trapped under the glass. Very hard to notice but once you know it's there.....

I'll live with it though as they are hard to notice in normal use. If they were larger and more obvious it would be annoying and I can understand why people would return such a phone for exchange.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5 General] Alvin:
Hi guys, need some help here. Just got the N5 few days ago, got some issue with the speaker.

The speaker was working while I was setting up the phone but it has since stopped working (ringtone can't work, video/youtube playback no sound )after I have completely set up the phone. (no sound from speaker but ok with earphone on)

Don't know if this has been discussed before? Did a search in google forum, it seems that this is a known defect that affects some N5 owners

Wondering if there's any remedy before I send my N5 for RMA.

TIA
[Nexus 5 General] Brava27:
Gotta love the poor spelling yankee fans...
[Nexus 5 General] Globespy:
Lol....
[Nexus 5 General] ChrisM75:
Im getting fed up with my N5 experience. First went back today due to a cluster of dead pixels, the exchange I got today in Carphone warehouse seemed OK, i opened it in the shop, but just 3 hours later there was a dust flake right in the middle of the screen.

I will try once more tomorrow or Tuesday, but if the next exchange doesn't work out that I will reject the whole thing as unfit.
[Nexus 5 General] kswkenn:
No issues to report here thankfully with either my own device or my wife's, they work perfectly with no rattles or anything of the sort.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lebada:
Thinking to maybe flash my Tmobile version.

Would like to know what works and what doesn't (Features) and which is the best/stable ROM ?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jcbofkc:
Um...yes, they have been stable since May. Do everyone a favor and read the forum. Every feature you could ever want is available.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefone1981:
Hi

Having major issues with my Tablet

Make - ArtView, Model - AT9C-A10WAA

Its an Allwinner A10 with ARM Cotex A8 and 1GB DDR3 Ram.

Turn it on and it just hangs and shows Android Logo for ever. Have tried coupl eof things to resolve such as use LiveSuit to flash new img.

I have downloaded both images from Artview Support Website and no joy opn either, tried another rom but still no luck each time just hangs and gets stuck on android logo.

I did however manage to get tablet to load up, and it worked fine but not sure if relaterd but went into settings and signed in with my gmail account and then just froze, turned off and then got stucvk again at android logo.

I have since tried reflashing but no joy. Tried the Advanced format setting on LiveSuit with rom from ArtView but nothing.

Any ideas what to do, rather than using LiveSuit rebooted tablet holding down VOL - and Power into Recovery Mode but when selecting flash from SD Card it doesnt show anything
