They're not revisions though so i suppose that's the point. Its just the month of manufacture. It has the same vibrator motor as mine from October.

[Nexus 5 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I sent my phone cause of light bleeds and orange spot on my screen. I got my replacement a few days ago and while packing the old one to ship I noticed a bend by the volume rocker. The phone case warped? Phone wasn't dropped. Nothing. Perfect. Too much heat? Now I'm worry lg is going to say I cause physical damage. :(
[Nexus 5 General] electricalBear:
You're saying there is no possibility of improvement in 4 months of production? I agree that there has been no hardware revision, but small human based adjustments would be very easy to implement without changing the hardware. "Hey, put more glue here", "screw this on tighter", or even improving QC etc... There are plenty of ways to improve the quality of shipments without changing the hardware; to say that someone that assembles these phones for 4 months won't improve at it (especially once given some direction) is silly. Stop being so condescending to people for mentioning batch numbers as I think regardless of revision, the later builds "should" have less defects. Unless you have experience in assembling phones?
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Any other brand...yes.

Nexus line is a bastard series. Nexus One didn't even have Google support initially..we had to go to HTC directly. Then Google hired a support contractor for CS issues, which are largely scripted RMA swap procedures. End result is QC issues are not funneled and corrected in manufacture like any other phone make, unless the issue's magnitude motivates Google to intervene LG's assembly (unlikely). It's simply more cost-effective for LG to set aside a larger RMA supply, than to support the hardware as it's own flagship and fleet. Lastly, robots do the vast majority of construction, save a final assembly of components, which have little to do with the issues people report (light bleed, bad pixels, loose buttons, poor wifi/cellular,etc.). While I hate seeing so many RMA roulette posts, that is truly still the best way to get a functioning unit, with only a few minor quibbles, perfection be damned.
[Nexus 5 General] DanielF50:
There have been minor revisions though, not in terms or tech specs etc but they fixed certain hardware problems such as the loose rockers etc - I would've presumed they'd attempt to replace it with a working one in the newer models.

I agree, though I also think that a large company like Google/LG should be able to complete eradicate most of the hardware problems they're facing with the Nexus 5 in under a month. Surely just looking at why people are RMA'ing the phones should give them insight enough - light leaks, yellow screens and whole components not working should be on the top of their 'to fix' list. It's like this phone is still in a prototype/alpha stage hardware wise.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Welcome to Nexus. :) Only 10 months until a new model, and you are assimilated, and cannot resist.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Working in the technology industry, specifically in a manufacturing company, I do indeed have insight in quality control and manufacturing processes.

If you're really so naive as to think that a single faulty vibrator motor should not have existed because a device is 2 months into production, then i'm lost for words. ...and if people insist on believing serial numbers are revisions, then I WILL correct them. If you find education condescending, well then thats your prerogative but every post relating a fault to a serial number just perpetuates the myth that serial numbers are revisions and this is only detrimental to the community. People RMA because their device was manufactured in October but some idiot led them to believe that the sound was better in November....

This also reduces the return to Google, which drives up the cost of future development

They haven't though. My phone was built in October and does not have loose rockers. Then someone else gets one built in november and it doesn't have loose rockers but because they had one from October that did, its a revision. Then someone else gets one built in December that has loose rockers.

Its manufacturing tolerances. I wrote a thread about this

Kind of disappointed with the QC on the N5, i just received my black 32 and white 32, both have slight backlight bleed one on the top left corner the other bottom left....my g2 by comparison has absolutely no bleed. It could also be the glue used isnt completely dried but if not, I doubt ill RMA them as the next ones I get may have worse issues, such as dead pixels..

[Nexus 5 General] ingenious247:
Honestly guys are we serious? Nobody votes with their wallet anymore, we just buy the newest thing and either 1. Deal with the garbage defects or 2. Go through a frustrating return process over and over until you get an "acceptable" device. Some said Nexus phones shouldn't be compared to flagship devices because they're cheaper. Yet others say it only costs Samsung and others ~$200+ to manufacture and the rest is Samsung profit and carrier profit. Well if Google "eliminated the middle man" then by basic math they're profiting a fair amount on a device that MUST cost them less to make than these feature rich flagship devices. Plus they make money off shipping (yes, every company that charges for shipping combines their total bill for their discount at the end of the month and gets a healthy discount) so Google is making their fair share of profit. So where's this money going? To cheap vibrating motors and displays with LIGHT BLEED?? this is 2013 and they're making tons of profit, come with a better product, period.
[Nexus 5 General] trent25:
Do you remember if it vibrated the first time you turned it on? Might be worth factory resetting the phone.

The vibrate motor is housed in the back cover and has spring contacts to get the signal/power from the main board. Try push the back cover below the camera flash when you expect the phone to vibrate, does that bring it to life. I'm wondering if its not a dead motor just a lost connection. Not sure how easy it is to pop off the back.

The problem with replacements now is the wait.
[Nexus 5 General] AlienSr1:
Hello everyone, I do also have the vibration motor problem.

It's most noticeable when typing/haptic feedback: The motor makes a lot of noise (It sounds exactly like a servo motor in a RC car/plane/whatever. The motor sound is actually louder than the sound the vibration creates.

Do you have the same servo-like squeeking sound?
[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:

[Nexus 5 General] Draje0:
The G2 has an OLED display while the Nexus 5 has an IPS. The G2 should definitely have no bleeding.

Sucks about your Nexus 5 though.
[Nexus 5 General] Phazmos:
Off topic - I've looked at color professionally for about 20 years - led can look just as good or better than plasma.

On topic - me phone just left nh - can't wait to see the new toy tomorrow!

Gotta admit, the goog seems to be doing well this roll out. Seeing the ship times go up by the second, and how popular this device seems to be, I was expecting long delays. I guess if ya do it enough, ya gotta get it right eventually.
[Nexus 5 General] Jorsher:
Contrast, motion, color -- the three things that make a video realistic according to the people that set standards for visual media. Motion and contrast are easily won by plasma. The full-array local-dimming LCDs were a big improvement, yet still trailed plasma -- and aren't being built anymore. Now it's all edge-lit local dimming which isn't as good. Color, I said LCDs can come close, but a $1500 LCD won't come anywhere close to a $1500 plasma in regards to color accuracy.

My Nexus 5 arrived and my only complaint is the USB cord doesn't feel as solid plugged into the Nexus 5 as it does on my year old Nexus 4.

The speaker doesn't work on mine. I can get audio through the earpiece and through headphones, but not through the speaker. Volume is turned all the way up. Done a factory reset and reflashed the stock images just to be sure. Going to RMA in the morning.
[Nexus 5 General] chrisinsocalif:
Nexus 5 uses In-Cell Technology which combine a digitizer, use touch input, and integrate an LCD screen into a single-layer display as opposed to an on-cell display which layers the back light. In addition, the display stack also allows more light to flow through, meaning that battery consumption is lower. In-cell technology is still fairly new, though it first debuted on devices like the LG Optimus G and the iPhone 5 (which has an LG-made display, too), and is now common with most Samsung-made AMOLEDs. So there shouldn't be an issue with the digitizers.

Also the Wifi isn't all that bad. Android Central had a live Q&A on Google+ and I asked that specific question Youtube wifi question answered by Android Central

They also addressed the rattling Android Central addressing rattling Youtube

Addressing the speaker phone question, Youtube

You can watch the whole video for more Q&A.

As for stuck pixels (not dead pixels)...

before you return your phone, try running pixel-fixing software. Stuck pixels can sometimes be re-energized by rapidly turning them on and off. There are apps (some free) downloadable through the Play store. I haven't tried it myself, but think it's worth a try (even with an older phone). Good luck.

My 1st and 2nd RMA has completely different types of vibration motor fault. Unbelievable how different the quailty of each one can be...plus I finally managed to receive a phone with that crazy rattle people have been talking about. Now I understand. :(

1st rma - whirring **** crazy instead of actually vibrating the phone.

2nd rma- worse type of vibration where it doesn't make a whirr sound but a "clink" like a mechanical failure inside...

I don't have the time to transfer data from phone to phone...its just unbelievable how DIFFERENT device to device it can be...first 2 was 311k - 2nd rma was 312k. From my opinion 312k is worse than all. That crazy rattling power button. Now I understand why people got so anal over it...annoying as hell!!!

[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Jesus got nothing to do with it. If a creak is a defect I got just about every appliance and electronic I've ever owned to return. If it bothers you that much then RMA but I personally wouldn't for anything that simply using a case can solve.

Some people have real defects they need help dealing with let's leave the thread to them.

If my furnace at the basement has a small scratch and has a creak when I.push I don't care. Your logic is wrong. Yes I rmaed already and will keep doimg it until I am happy. Nothing wrong here. Google admitted that creaky back is.defect. don't spread wrong info this is not a defect if you don't know ****.

Edit you are not the original dude I replied.
[Nexus 5 General] electricalBear:
I wasn't speaking about the vibrator, obviously there are some issues that are hardware related. But for example the rattling buttons. There was a video of a guy putting a piece of paper or something in there to stop the rattling. You're telling me they couldn't do something similar without requiring a hardware revision?

I agree that people shouldn't RMA just based on batch numbers, but I still think you're more likely to have a problem free device with later batches...whether that's actually true, I don't know.

The fact that you call it "education" proves how condescending you are. Who appointed you professor? You're assuming that yours is the final word on the subject. Feel free to post valuable information and insight, but don't presume to think you are "educating" us lowly other people.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
There are no batches. Serial number changes automatically at midnight of the last day of the month. There's no difference between the device that rolls off the line 1 minute before midnight and the device that rolls off 1 minute after.

You're right, it's only education if you learn from it which you're clearly not doing.

Who appointed me professor? Well I did of course! Duh doy!

I never said they cant make improvements without hardware revisions. This is an argument you've made up in your head. What I have said though is if they make improvements, it won't be tied to a specific serial number. They're made organically. They don't wait for the serial number to change before making improvements (not that I think they've made any improvements at all) so quoting a serial number means nothing

This is all logic. I posted about it in my thread.

We're all in this forum to both teach and learn. Dont assume when someone has something to teach, they feel they have nothing to learn. We're here to share. I give and I take and so should you.

Google will accept an RMA for pretty much anything you tell them it's just easier that way. I never mentioned any furnaces, but I can 100% guarantee you I can make your laptop creak and any other plastic phone with a 5inch screen as well with the right pressure. Did you RMA your laptop as well?

Maybe you hold your phone to a higher standard then me and of course it's your prerogative but just because they accept the RMA isn't an admission of anything on Google's part.

Things like coil whine, creaking, edge work even a limited amount of dead pixels most manufacturers will not accept an RMA for. Google is just going above and beyond to make it's customers happy.
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
Do not compare to any devices that are bigger than smart phones. Smart phones are small and pretty much anywhere can be user's holding point. If you have any creaky problem it should be a manufacturing defect since pretty much it's going to annoy you specially when you make a phone call that your ear gets close to the phone. Yes, the creaky area is one of my holding point and it annoys every time I make a phone call that's why I RMAed and reported that it's a defect that google admitted here. I am pissed because some random kid who replied my first post came in here and say hey that's not a defect and trying to bash me. I just hate people who don't know **** come here and spread wrong info.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Apologies if I offended you. I was simply informing that such things are common place in electronics. In your rage you might have missed that I also compared it to other plastic bodied 5 inch phones. Squeeze them hard enough it's gonna happen every time. Good luck with your replacement.
[Nexus 5 General] Srandista:
Unfortunately, I have to send my phone to RMA, because I have some kind of dust/dirt under display, plus one dead pixel. If there will be only dead pixel, it won't matter to me so much, because its on side of display, but that dirt it's right in middle of it :( And now, I see it every time, especially, when all Google apps are with white background. I also have rattling volume rocker, but I don't care about it, my only reason to sent phone to RMA is that dirt, otherwise the phone it's just perfect, and I really hope, that my replacement will be faultless.
[Nexus 5 General] Melamunna:
I lucked out, only took one RMA (due to really loose power button, dust and dead pixels, excessively loud vibration) to get a perfect phone. I really think the issues are due to a quality control problem... some of you that work "in the industry" or something may disagree, but the point is it seems excessive the number of RMA's some have to go through. I really sort of wish google would just make their own phones (with motorola), because what incentive does LG have to keep the quality up? They already clearly favor the G2.
[Nexus 5 General] alb3rtt:
I agree 100%. Imagine the nexus 5 but built by motorola including that customization thing they did with the moto x. The only other company i can think of that would make an awesome nexus is oppo.

Hi, just wanted to post my story.

I love my Nexus 5, and prefer not deal with an RMA, but it seems that the GPS is defective. It is on the slower side to get a fix, but it can. When it does, the directions are off by about 90 degrees (e.g., if I point west, then it says that I'm facing north), so when I drive, it shows me moving sideways.

I just downloaded the GPS test app that [MENTION=829594]bloot[/MENTION] mentioned in his post, and my result while outdoors (with high accuracy location enabled) is very poor. I get a range from 69-161 ft accuracy (screenshot attached). I will be contacting Google about this issue.

[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
You'll have to take the chance. It seems quality control has gotten better but there's still. The chance of getting an issue. The vibrator issues don't seem as common but it still looks as if some people are funding dust. But this is a small representation of the actual amount of people buying so I think you should be fine.
