The only thing that is starting to bother me is the buildup of dust and pocket lint around the camera lens. It's not horrible but I just know in the back of head that it's always there. It irritates me just to look at it

What you do in your personal time is your business ;)

If you have a perfect screen, I would just tolerate it. I wouldn't risk dead pixels for that defect.

Does anyone remember how much time it took for LG to fix issues for N4? I want to buy N5, but would rather wait for fixed batches.
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
Buy it in January then. Probably it'll be fixed by then. The first batch of almost all the phones is defective. :p
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
hello folks I received my nexus 5 on 1 Dec from a lg store but today

only I noticed two dots or something

when I used dead pixel test

those dots appear white pixel on grey and black colour and appears

white on red yellow blue green and white .

and they are on top of the screen . not visible on low brightness . I

have a 311k

I just want to know if these numbers of dots can increase over

time?
[Nexus 5 General] kresk:
Took me one RMA to get a good device. Had a few bad pixels in the original. Also, from reading all these threads. It seems as though most of the screens people are getting on the replacements are of a yellowish/warmer tint. You guys noticing the same trend? I think it's a manufacturer improvement.
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
is there anyone who is using the device with dead pixel . because I have decided to kept mine I have 2 dead pixel but its not visible at the brightness I use my phone on.
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I am but only because I'm waiting to rma till they get the defects under control

[Nexus 5 General] sangerpb:
yup I have a hair in mine and I haven't got an RMA yet.....I created the ticket.
[Nexus 5 General] totalundone:
I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this (I've seen other complaints on other sites and I have it too). The screen flickers only on certain colors. I tried to get video but it didn't come out clear, but on certain shades of blue and orange/light brown (light colored flesh), I get horizontal flickering across that color. I've reset, reinstalled, but it seems like a hardware issue.

I've yet to request an RMA but will soon. I bought mine on launch, white 32GB
[Nexus 5 General] Kadd:
I'm getting some pretty epic light bleed from the very top of the screen... I'm trying not to let it bother me because I love the crap out of this phone :D
[Nexus 5 General] NYCguy2020:
Just received my RMA and it's perfect. No dead pixels/dust under screen no loose buttons and no weak vibration. It's 311K white 32gig. Comparing it to my old 310K the screen is warmer and white is a bit yellowish on the new device, but it's not that bad thou. Viewing angles are good as well. Speaker and camera are the same. Pretty happy with mine.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
I hope my next RMA is good like that. I got one already and it would have been perfect but the vibration is messed up so now I'm waiting for a second one. I hope the next one is good because I don't want to keep rmaing the whole time.
[Nexus 5 General] Mindspin_311:
Just got my Black 16gb today and it has the same issue it seems.
[Nexus 5 General] droid_<3er:
I love this phone to death but the goddamn power button has zero feedback. My friend's is perfectly fine, but he has dead pixels (i'd much rather have a weird power button than dead pixels). I'm starting to wonder if I will be able to use cases with custom buttons; i may have to stick to cases with huge cut-outs.
[Nexus 5 General] rayz93:
So I finally got my Nexus 5 16GB Black imported from Hong Kong.

-Box condition: Great

-Seal: Unbroken

-Phone batch: 310k, so I'm guessing it's the first batch

-Requires update on first boot: Yes

-Weak Vibrator: coming from i9300, yes, not loose, but weak, it doesn't produce ticking loose noises, but rather, the best way to describe is, i9300 vibrator motor counterweight has shorter radius from the core, while D821 vibrator motor counterweight has slight longer radius from the core; that sort of weak.

-Backlight bleed: Yes, max brightness in a darkroom.

-Dead pixel: spotted 1, not sure if I should bother with 1, at that DPi, it's barely noticeable without magnified glass (spotted it when I was doing some intensive dead pixel test using Solid colour pictures)

-Camera: same case as everyone else

-Speaker: same case as everyone else

-Loose Power button & volume button: Yes if you plan to do headbangs with your phone beside your ear, problem solve with a button covered case like Spiggen Slim Armour.

Otherwise, the phone is in an amazing shape. Since I won't bother with replacement, Rooted the phone 2hrs after I opened the box.

-Stock ROM, franco kernel, stock kernel settings

-14Hrs airplane standby

-38% -> 36%

That's all i have to report, Cheers :)

Hi,

Just received my Nexus 5 and noticed the very top of the Screen has sort of a brighter line/band when viewed under an angle.

Is it normal or a defect? Can someone confirm this please? Thank you.
[Nexus 5 General] jimburke57:
That is light bleed. I think that amount is abnormal. You can usually expect a slight amount of light bleed but not that much.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] mastferd:
thx but my device has absolutely no bleeding. (that ips glow is normal)

I edited the Photo so you can see better what i actually mean.
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
I've never seen that "IPS glow" and if it looks like anything its light bleed. But you seem to know more than me so fwiw just my 2 cents

[Nexus 5 General] gavin-phelan:
No im not worried about dirt i want to fix the gap
[Nexus 5 General] MrGriffdude:
Well could potentially be waiting a while so that's why I'm waiting for orders to die down then send it in for replacement do you by chance have a white 16 GB?
[Nexus 5 General] gavin-phelan:
Yup white n5 32gb
[Nexus 5 General] MrGriffdude:
Well I would hold on to the phone for a bit and wait for the process to chill, you have a year warranty after all
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
You only have 15 days to replace.
[Nexus 5 General] fr4c:
You have 15 days to return the device for a refund. But you have 1 year warranty to do RMA exchanges for issues.
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
And according to you what is the LG warranty for, if all the issues are to be handled by Google through RMAs? What I understand is they may ask you to go to LG or do an RMA. It's not mandatory they'll do an RMA after 15 days. Little confused though.
[Nexus 5 General] crownua6:
Finally received my 32 GB Nexus 5. 2 visible dead pixels :crying:. RMA'd shortly after. Hopefully, my replacement is much better.

I've order 4 Nexus 4 from the 2nd batch for me, family, and friends. All of which didn't have any issues at all. :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] hithereperson:
First device had a dead pixel and I RMAd after 4 days because I just couldn't "unsee" the thing. It was like having a perpetual speck of dust on your screen... very annoying when reading books with white background. New device is yet to present a problem (knock on wood).
[Nexus 5 General] 9unk:
So mine has no dead pixels. Vibration is weak but I'm pretty sure it's not faulty.

I do have the annoying loose power button though unfortunately. Won't be sending it back though as I'm in NZ and had my Aussie mate order it for me.

looks really the same as mine, so it seems to be normal.

Sorry for photo quality. HTC One camera is awful. That's not light bleed either on the 2nd shot... Its a reflection
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Thank u for the pics but if u look its there in your pics also. Since yesterday I've asked many more people on hangouts and they all have it. Not one person with a n5 that I have asked hasn't had it. In fact my n7 2013 has it too when I looked yesterday. Its obviously a normal part of the type of screen we have.

Yes i can confirm, every Nexus 5 seems to have it. But its not a big deal at all, the Screen is awesome nevertheless, absolutely zero bleeding, extremely responsive and no dust or dead pixels :cyclops:
[Nexus 5 General] gefilus:
This screen is led back lid, so i think that is not problem, but i have 2nexus 5 what randomly shut downs, when charging, no idea why, i have notice it happens every 3 days. Ori dont know something
[Nexus 5 General] mastferd:
Both devices shut down due charging? Maybe the poweradapter is faulty.
[Nexus 5 General] madgalaxy:
So how are the recent Nexus 5's that folks have got when it comes to defects? Has anyone noticed if they have taken steps to improve quality control? Anyone noticed better quality on the white vs black?

I bought a 16gb Black on day one and I had to return it (screen press "snapping" bottom right) a week later and decided to wait a bit before getting another. I am tempted by the Moto X, but the larger screen edges it out.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
No I don't think there's a difference in quality. My white one had very large vibration issues. I'm doing a second RMA and if that one isn't good I'm also tempted to go for a moto x especially since the major price decrease. But the nexus 5 is bigger and newer processer are more tempting.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

I just checked and Monday only they have the moto x on sale for 350! This is very tempting but my RMA won't come until at least Wednesday so I'll miss the deal. If the RMA is good I won't care but if it has any issues I'll be poised that I missed the deal:(
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Oh I totally agree its not a big deal. The n5 has great screen. I have a spec of dust but I don't even see it. I'm probably gonna RMA in Jan or Feb but as the days go buy I care less and less about that stupid spec of dust.

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

I had a motox and loved it but in the end I traded it for a G2 and I'm sooooo glad I did. Reason being is the screen size is the same as the n4 but the overall body of the phone is tiny. Its only 6mm bigger than a iPhone 5s and it just felt like a toy in my hand. So keep that in mind...

Been getting a message pop up "Sim card inserted" and a clickable button to restart

The phone although the Sim is already in the phone.

Had this happen first week after I got the phone, changed Sim to new one and still doing it, so I requested an RMA, now I am very worried that I will get a worse unit from what I read in this thread as apart from that the phone is perfect. Anyone else had similar issue?
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Mine doesn't do that. Sounds like when its fully charged your voltage gets spiked or dropped an causes a reboot as a safety mechanism. But I'm just guessing. Are you running a custom kernel by ant chance or undervolting?

I replaced mine because of the bad sound. My new one sounds much better. Also, no dead pixels and the power button is fine. I do have the LED bleed, but at full brightness, that has to be normal. I have LUX installed and normally run at less than 24%, so I don't see it.

[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
Some one posted some pics of their replacement against their original and the speaker holes were much larger. I guess they did this to let the sound out easier which should stop the phone vibrating with the sound from the speaker. My phone suffers from this badly... Feel the sound in my hand.
[Nexus 5 General] Noxey:
What is the key press vibration issue people have been mentioning? My kepress vibration felt weird compared to my gs3 so I disabled it, but maybe it was a defect? Either way I'm fine without it.

Also, how long do I have to RMA, and will I always receive a new model of we ll I receive a refurbished model.

My phone is excellent , no problems with vibration , notification light works , no yellow screen , no problem with power button , but I have a little bright dust inside the screen. I can live it with. You suggest me RMA or not ? ::) Maybe after 1 year of use ?? :)
[Nexus 5 General] (THE REAL) Neo:
The new lots of Nexus 5, have been improved, both as regards the holes on the bottom, which for the buttons that moved in the bodywork.

The volume buttons and power, in fact, have less tolerance now, and even seem rounded.

Lol i really doubt that these bigger holes really make better sound, this way its more likely that dust gets in the speaker holes. I think the speaker sounds good anyways (coming from iPhone 4s)

But nice they seem to care and try to make things better.
[Nexus 5 General] hiya1987:
Well I work in a phone shop been through 10 units and all 10 of them have some form of light bleed whether its near the power button or around the edges I'm gonna take stab and say they all have that and maybe you do but you don't see it.
[Nexus 5 General] mastferd:
I think its ridiculous to expect a 100 percent perfect device. RMAing because of one or two dead pixel on a 1080p screen is also questionable. Its perfectly normal for LCDs and you have to be very very lucky to get a 100 percent perfect screen.(saying this after having owned many devices over the years)

I mean you always have dozents of dust particles all the time on the glass.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Bigger wholes should help sound on lower speaker volume that was originally muffled. But what you said mashed sense too about the dust but I think either way they're only slightly bigger so if dust gets in one it'll get in the other too. I personally hope my RMA has the bigger speaker wholes
[Nexus 5 General] kosmasgr:
Hehe. So i keep it :))

I never saw a Nexus 5 to have 2 buttons on the side.

The speaker holes are smaller, like in your picture. Here it is a pic, sorry about the blur:
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
Well we were discussing that ugly white line at the top of the screen. But while we are discussing light bleed now, im not blind and have had phones (like the htc amaze) where every device had light bleed from the soft keys, and there are several ppl in these forums for this phone that don't have it. So... Regardless of where you work, your 10 devices you have seen are a very small percentage Of how many devices are out there. Take as many stabs as you want but I'm sure I know what I'm talking about so you're stabbing thin air
[Nexus 5 General] (THE REAL) Neo:
That's not a button!

It's the Sim-tray...

I own a "first batch" Nexus 5 too,and it had only a stuck pixel,solved with a color-cycles app.

Screen unresposnive

My totally stock Nexus 5 has started to become faulty.

The bottom left corner (about 1/4 of the screen near the back button) sometimes becomes unresponsive, powering the screen on and off normally fixes it.

The unresponsiveness is not total, dragging across the area sometimes works sometimes skips. I can't find any other similar reports online

I am on my third device in about a month, first one WiFi kept disconnecting as soon as I powered the device (took over 4 hours to finish the initial update), and it was being disconnected every 10 seconds no matter what router I used, that got back to LG the very next day, second device worked fine for less than a week, then suddenly the loudspeaker stopped working, I was unable to hear music, incoming calls, YouTube etc. Bluetooth speakers worked OK as well as the headphones, but I had to wait 15 days with this faulty device before getting a second RMA, third device arrived last Friday, it didn't need an initial update like the first 2, and so far everything is working although I'm worried about what it seems to be a poor qa cycle on this phones.
