hello guys!

I am experiencing a screen shaking issue or what. I mean it looks like when you set back a crt monitor refresh rate from 85hz to 60hz. It is painfull to read anything from the screen.

There is nobody who has a nexus 5 where I live to compare my nexus 5 screen to another's screen.

Can one of you do me a favour?

Go to dark room, and turn off the lgihts. on the phone go stock recovery and watch carefuly the highlighted menu point. Do you see "reboot system now" text vibrating or shaking or moving?

Or set a black wallpaper, do you see the app's names vibrating in the app drawer?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Light bleed is just backlight bleeding through gaps in the edges. I suppose if your phone is flexed a lot then it could get worse.

Im not sure how to quantity my bleed. Its the same as the screen shot in post 1 of the light bleed thread and its acceptable to me

I have a similar "problem" as yours, I guess, but mine it's like there's a small dent under the screen, in the lower bezel (so, not in the middle of the screen). I think I'm not going to ask for a replacement, since I've already seen another Nexus with the "same defect" and, above all, except for that, my phone is perfect. So I'm not going to risk to change this phone for another one that's potentially worse.
[Nexus 5 General] fernan13malaga:
I noticed problems talking 360 degree photos, camera stop working and need to reboot the phone to get the camera working again.

It happens using location.

Haha oh my gosh yes I have a small dent near the bottom too! I forgot about that in my "complaint" to Goog. Yeah that part idk what happened.
[Nexus 5 General] Piteryo:
Camera doesn`t focus! I have had the phone for two weeks and everything was OK. But today my camera just doesn`t focus on anything. When i tap there are some scopes with green lines (which appears when you are trying to focus) but nothing happens (it doesn`t focus in any camera app or rom). What should i do? Please help!
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Maybe there are smudges on the lens
[Nexus 5 General] Piteryo:
No, nothing similiar... It`s clean
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
RMAed today because of bend phone and rattling power button. Hope the next device is OK...
[Nexus 5 General] rbs_uk:
I noticed camera lense cover also has small gap between bezel and dust start collecting there. Seems they have problem with precision at LG`s manufacturing plant - they simply cannot cut glass to be precise and sit tight with bezels.
[Nexus 5 General] alb3rtt:
I have this too as well is between display and frame. just wondering how many people have it? if its like the s4 or note 3 or any other Samsung phone that have this as part of the "design" or whether mine is bad. I probably won't RMA since I always use a case. How do you guys clean it? I tried paper but its too weak, needles push it in further and air does nothing.
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I'm pretty sure all n5's have this. I use the corners of plastic like this. Has to be thin enough yet strong and I find this type of material to be perfect.

Got my N5 on Fri. but am in RMA process due to either dead pixels or dust under the screen, rattling power button, and overly loud vibration.

My N4 was a resounding success, I hope N5 #2 is as well- I certainly don't want to keep putting $400 authorizations on credit cards waiting for them to go away :P
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
I got a rattling power button but the screen is perfect. No need for RMA I'll just buy a case :)
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
Could you guys check if your phone is bent like this?
[Nexus 5 General] Vercion3:
Not mine.. how did it happen?
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
I have no idea. I would say it came like this. I noticed it by accident, because someone wrote about this and I checked my phone. Not so cool.
[Nexus 5 General] venom_762:
I really want to get this device I had two, the first one had a horble power button and the ear mic was all static. The second one had perfect buttons but the vibration motor when turning to landscape(only turning clockwise) sounded like there was something coming out of the back. I call to get an rma and they said no, it was the sim tray lever that caused this noise and there was nothing really wrong with it. I said fine I'll return it all together. both were 311k's. Im scared to order another one to the point of buying a moto x.
[Nexus 5 General] Sensamic:
Have you all checked for the audio problem when recording videos?

There's a hiss in the background. Try recording a video in silence and you'll see it.
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yup it's a known issue with the n5

[Nexus 5 General] clor01:
Do anyone experience frequency/static noise when playing videos on WiFi? Its been getting worse as the days go by. Btw I have a white 32gb 311k.
[Nexus 5 General] alb3rtt:
I dont have this issue at all. My s2 had this issue though, drove me mad.
[Nexus 5 General] EarlZ:
On the S2 it was just point it to any white object, on the N5 it needs the right combination of ambient light color for the pink to appear. Not a big deal as only like 1 out of my 500+ photos are affected.
[Nexus 5 General] alb3rtt:
Thats probably why I have not noticed it. As long as its not bad as my s2, im happy.

Noise from bottom speakers when playing videos? Maybe its from the video itself. Play a song on youtube and see if the issue occurs. I noticed this when i was watching commentaries, turns out its the mic from the commentators fault.

[Nexus 5 General] Droid_ALM2ND:
So I heard about some defective units when the Nexus 5 first came out. I have a first Gen model (black 32GB ordered on day 1) and went over it with a find tooth comb trying to find flaws and Everything seemed OK. Even turned the screen brightness all the way up with a black wallpaper searching for light leaks. It was ok. I little here and there but it was far from bad and very tolerable. Most of the screens LG uses for the Nexus 5 and LG GPad 8.3 are made like this and slight light leak is normal.

Recently the area around my volume rocker was slightly getting my attention. I put on an all back wallpaper today and WOW! Pretty noticeable light leak around the volume rocker. Clearly something that happened over time. With everyday use. I don't press on it hard at all. Due to this being something that's gotten worse over time, do any of you think it worth the hassle of a replacement?

Would like to know some of you guys thoughts. Other then that the phone is flawless. Sound it clear, video audio is nice, haven't had any issue. I'm just a little worried I'm going to get other issues with the replacement.

Thank in advance to anyone that response. I'll make sure to hit the thank button
[Nexus 5 General] fcb1:
I just got my RMA and the new one has the yellow tint. Does it go away after a while? I remember reading that it tends to dissapear after a while of usage.
[Nexus 5 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
add me to defects. After owning since release, I noticed this today. Phone not dropped, no cracked.. nothing.. its super annoying.. is this warranty?

Noticed the crazy light bleed between install and backup. Also, that pink/red spot?
[Nexus 5 General] Droid_ALM2ND:
Have a similar issue but minds not that bad yet. Looks like its where the volume rocker is too. I guessing since mine got worse over time yours did too. And mine will probably end up like yours. I think I'm going to RMA before it gets like this but I would get a replacement if I were you.
[Nexus 5 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
yes, I just got off the phone. Waiting for RMA email to start the process. All they asked me to do was factory reset but you can clearly see the spot even on the boot up google screen..
[Nexus 5 General] Droid_ALM2ND:
Same here dude when booting to the screen. Thanks BTW because my post before you posted was on the same exact topic. Seeing how bad yours got over time I'm definitely RMA'ing
[Nexus 5 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
if I select two day shipping for my RMA, will google reimburse that? I'll pay the extra $4 to get the new one in.
[Nexus 5 General] GR0S:

[Nexus 5 General] boolim:
Hi guys, what about yellow screen?

Are there a lot ppl affected by this issue?

I am paranoid about this as my current phone has it and i hate it.

Went to shop and saw a 312k N5 screen is yellow as well. End up didn't buy it.
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
I hear that goes away slowly. but not sure since mine has it two. it's been only 2 week.

but i am fine with it unless it gets worse. it makes color more natural to me.

my original phone was fine but this replacement phone is yellow.
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
Well, my 310K was yellow in the beginning. Now after two months, it got much colder. I had to order a replacement which is a 312K and in comparison it is very yellow as well. But I am 90% sure that my first device was like this in the beginning too. So I hope it will disappear after a few weeks.

[Nexus 5 General] mabru2001:
Just got my 4th replacement with serial 312K, man this sucker is yellow compared to my original 311K that is flawless except for the recording noise. I am actually only getting replacements because I want them to address and acknowledge the issue.

I have had the screen on for about 20min and it has gotten whiter, I'm gonna keep it on for a few hours and then take a new comparison shot.
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I don't think that you getting a replacement is gonna get them to address or acknowledge any issues. Since launch they have had issues just like every other phone that is released. You are just gonna get yourself a worse phone when you already had a perfect one.

[Nexus 5 General] mabru2001:
You are actually concerned for the multibillion dollar company Google? The one that could and should come out with a official statement about the static noise saying if its hardware or software by now and if its going to be fixed?

If everyone did replacements for this issue they would have to start saying if its fixable. Otherwise I wont keep the device, I am just keeping myself in the replacement chain until they say its fixable. I don't want to settle and then a few months down the road be told oh its hardware but you have waited to long to have a replacement.
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Your in the replacement chain for 1 year from the date you purchased your n5 lol ;)

One way to be happy with your nexus device is to not look into this defect thread unless it is a major problem that you can't ignore. Most people won't even notice until they come in here. >:)
[Nexus 5 General] trevelyan624:
My N5 has a noticeable gap around the edges of the screen that dust settles into, is this gap intentional or a defect? Other than that the device is great.
[Nexus 5 General] SovereigN7:
This is common with every other device so don't worry about it.
[Nexus 5 General] TomatoCo:
Worth keeping in mind, of course, sampling bias when it comes to poor results.
[Nexus 5 General] trevelyan624:
I'm coming from the Nexus 4, which didn't have that issue so I was just curious if it was something all the Nexus 5's have. Its just odd because in some spots the edge is flush with the screen, and in others there are spaces.
[Nexus 5 General] ScumDroid:
Neither do I. My N5 is perfect. I do have the loose buttons, but idgaf about that, that's some major ocd people RMAing over loose buttons lol.
[Nexus 5 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
bending?

like this? noticed the ruler isnt't flat on the screen? If you see the glass under a nice light, you can see a slight bend on it as well. I hope google/lg doesn't say this is physical damaged because this phone has been baby. glass is scratch free.. :(

To all the people reading this forum, that havent bought the Nexus 5 thread:

I just bought mine (16 gb black) in Germany today. Didnt check everything in the store, but when i came home, I turned on the device and i had:

-NO clunky buttons

-NO dead pixels

-NO yellowish display

-NO dead vibration motor

Only issue i have so far is that i cut my old SIM card up, but my Nexus doesnt recognise it :( My old Xperia Arc S still does tho. Gonna get a replacement SIM too. Phone looks very sexy btw.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
No faults at all? You'd better RMA to see if you can get rattling buttons

I get my 32 GB black few days ago, and my volume rocker is a little bit wonky. And you know what? I don't give a s**t!

I certainly will not going RMA phone for just that one button, because otherwise its brilliant device without any other defect. If I will have dust under screen or yellow tint display, it will be something else, but I can live with little rattling rocker, no problem at all... Btw, even if I will RMA my Nexus, no one can guarantee me, that new Nexus will be faultless, I still can receive device with much worse faults, that wonky button...

Earpiece

I have the white 32GB if that matters. But my earpiece during calls, it is hard to hear the other person even at max volume. It is super quiet for some unknown reason, would this be qualified as a defect?

Reguarding the serial number and hardware version relations, i think it's like some people say: they are two different things.

Only thing I have noticed so far is something I believe stuck on the inside of the digitizer. Day one I ran an lcd test and did not notice anything. So 3 days in I spot a square block spot and am ready to freak.

Its not a dead pixel I can see it clear as day with the screen off. But after numerous attempts to clean it appears its actually on the other side and likely debris and not that uncommon with this sort of thing. Sucks, I can live with it but it sucks lol.

[Nexus 5 General] withdrawn:
Hi. I have been racking my brains out thinking that I am the only one with this issue.

I purchased a nexus 5 sim free on the 9/01/2014. The serial number begins with 312. For the first few days everything was fine until I started receiving calls, and once answering, the person on the other end can not hear me at all but I can hear them. It happened firstly, and I presumed it must have been the other persons phone, but since then, its erratic, it happens sometimes and at other times it is fine. It happens when I either make or receive calls.

It became extremely irritating since I had to make business related calls I was unfortunately unable to, until I rebooted the handset. This is unacceptable. I contacted the carphonewarehouse who were completely oblivious to the issue, and then I contacted google support on their uk based telephone number, and again, they seems mystified as to what could be causing the problem.

I returned my handset today to the carphonewarehouse and exchanged it for another nexus 5 with the same serial number. This new model have smaller speaker/mic grills and the power button is partially loose and rattles. this are complaints I can deal with, until I attempted to make a few phone calls, and everything was fine, up until i decided to make a phone call WITHOUT my wired handsfree set, and low and behold, my friend is on the line shouting 'hello, hello' and im screaming 'hellooooo' back, and they cannot hear me. I turn the handsfree on by tapping the screen, and they still cannot hear me.

This is such a bugger. I'm at my wits end. Nobody seems to be acknowledging that there is some sort of software or hardware issue - on my second handset as well as the first.

It does not happen with my wired handsfree set plugged in. Everybody can hear me clearly via my wired hands free. But this is impractical for me. I should be able to use the phone as it was intended, without worrying about whether anybody will be able to hear me or not.

It's very irritating. I'm going back within 2 weeks to see if any new production models are going to be in stock with this issue resolved. I don't have the funds to pay for a more expensive handset, and if the problem keeps persisting, i may have to settle for another brand/model along the 'mini' lines of phones e.g samsung mini/htc one mini, as they are within a similar price bracket.

I NEVER had such issues with my S3.
