If I shake it I can hear the volume buttons. That's about all my issues. Screen just like the N4 is washed out. But I'm sure devs will fix that soon.
[Nexus 5 General] AlienSr1:
Check my last post (last post on the previous page), does it sound like that?

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

Yeah, you can easily hear it when it's quiet...
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
Vibration issues seem to be felt by most. As someone else pointed out to me today, the motor is actually glued to the case backing, not the phone - http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5+Teardown/19016

We can probably fix it ourselves either by replacing the motor, or regluing it more firmly. Silly decision to put it on the case and not the phone innards. I'm guessing most of the noise is caused by the vibrations coming off of the fairly flimsy backpiece, and due to the material it's made of.

Probably see a revision down the line if google get a lot of complaints.
[Nexus 5 General] Jonnyw2k:
Another black 32GB with 2 specs of dust, it didnt bother me untill I noticed one, now everytime I use my phone I just seem to stare at the black dot.

Don't think its a stuck pixel as it looks like its "above" the lcd.
[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:
I called up Google for an RMA on Monday when I got my phone with dust in the screen. The new device is out for delivery right now :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 General] dacho:
Is anybody noticing touch screen grid on the screen? Mine is very noticeable, and almost distracting. I had the same issue with one of the nexus 4's.
[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:
Only with pretty intense glare
[Nexus 5 General] ratcav:
I created a Google Survey to see real numbers of the defects.

Criticism appreciated.
[Nexus 5 General] wardy01:
I can't believe how ppl can return a phone because the power key has play in it.

I'll be honest and say mine is perfect.got from UK play. Recieved day after launch as I collected from dept.

Mine is rooted.faux kernel. And just working as it should battery is great on stock and faux.

29hours(no Sim and WiFi)

I took it off charge at 10pm last night and I have 60% left now. Running 4g too.

Cheers.

[Nexus 5 General] Cyberdan3:
I have a little bit of play in my power button and very slight light bleed in the top left, but the phone is amazing!!!! Not worth sending back.

However, I am having an issue with the camera. IT WILL NOT FOCUS! It's not like the auto focus is slow, it just won't focus and it appears to be stuck on a single focal point. I can't get it to focus on an object 2 feet in front of me. I have checked all settings. Anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 5 General] Alaris:
What's the best way to view for dust under the screen?
[Nexus 5 General] stuart0001:
Have you tried tapping to focus.
[Nexus 5 General] noobdeagle:
I guess these minor inconsistencies are considered defects now. The vibration motor sounds weird because it attaches to the plastic back. Power button rattle is not even noticeable unless you are deliberately trying to make the sound .

Im dumbfounded that people are returning devices for this. I wouldn't even call them defects.
[Nexus 5 General] ZeppeMan:
I have the same, just received my Nexus 5 and I find it an amazing phone. Everything is perfect, no problems with the buttons either. But I also noticed a dust spot. I first thought it was a dead/stuck pixel, but it looks like it's just above the screen. Imo I think it's not worth so send it back.

Other then that i'm really happy with this phone, it looks and feels stronger then my previous Nexus 4. And it's so fast/smooth with stock rom/kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] Cyberdan3:
I had a Nexus 4 before this, and yes I tried tapping to focus. It actually shows the "focus animation" and even ends with a green outline (signifying it is focused). Still unfocused.
[Nexus 5 General] kortenoeverdev:
I got 3 dead pixels, or dust i don't know. but they don't bother me. I really have to look closely to see them.
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
I think I won't consider sending my phone for RMA. I have a pretty loose power button and the vibration is quite loud while typing, but my screen is very good. No dust, no dead pixels at all. The chance of getting a faulty screen in trade for a firmer button is too high.

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Pretty impressed with the number of people who stated to have no issues at all.
[Nexus 5 General] mjskraju:
Only 38% of the people have devices with no defects & a whopping 62% percent of people those who voted have some sort of defects. That is too small amount of people, imagine if many people from many other forums participate in it, I'm sure that 'No Defects' percentage drops even further. I hate to see it, but it is the reality.
[Nexus 5 General] c_beatz:
Defects I have.

1. Power button rattles - dont care

2. Three dead pixels - dont care

3. Speaker phone volume low - probably not a defect but disappointing.

4. Volume connecting to my RCA jack in my car is not loud. Had this problem with my N4 but on the N5 it is a little better.

5. Screen rattles. If I hold the phone horizontal and tap the bottom it feels solid, if I tap the top it feels a bit mushy and rattles. Very annoying and prob. will rma because of this. Has anybody experienced this?

I have a Blackberry Z10 for work and comparing the build quality nothing rattles, screen is solid and the buttons are flush and tight, kinda disappointed in Google. Phone is great other wise.
[Nexus 5 General] Xelphos:
Incorrect, the majority of people who did not have defects like dead pixels did not comment. Everyone who has a dead pixel will post about it, but the majority of people did not have defects. No I don't think a loose button is a defect, my GS3 has very loose buttons, like they will fall out. Solved that problem with a case.
[Nexus 5 General] UCLAKoolman:
My wall adapter for my Nexus 5 died last night. I woke up to a nearly dead phone. The adapter won't charge any of my other devices either, but the Nexus 5 USB cable does charge my Nexus 5 and other devices plugged into other wall adapters I have.

No big deal. I figured I'd give google a call and see if they can ship me a replacement adapter. NOPE. They want me to mail EVERYTHING back to them and they'll send me a replacement phone and charger. No thanks. I have no dead pixels, rattles, or any other issues with this device. I'm not going to risk getting a defective unit in return just for a new wall adapter!

Anyone have a suggestion for a good wall adapter on amazon? I have plenty that are 1A and 2A, but the N5's is an odd 1.2A...

Edit: Maybe Google just doesn't want to mail me a new wall adapter because they think I want an extra one for free??
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
I think it's just that they don't have extra adapters to ship.

A quick soundfile of the bad vibration motor:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7q6j7iviigfmxt0/VIBRATION Nexus5.m4a

Only makes that sound when you have short vibration rhythms, e.g when typing on the keyboard...Vibration from calls are good...just this annoying sound, turned it off completely :)

[Nexus 5 General] jojohan:
Got my N5 on Monday, not much to complain about.

Slight issues that don't bother me

- Rattling is from camera, but doesn't bother me at all.

- Power button is slightly loose and volume rocker is ever so slightly loose, but no complaints here again. I do feel like I'm causing wear and tear to the power button every time I have to turn it on and off cause it does feel delicate. But that won't bother me once my casing arrives.

- No bleeding, only the slightest bit from exaggerated viewing angles (speaking of which, viewing angles are really good on my N5)

- Wifi seems to work perfectly fast at home where signal is strong. In my uni's lecture hall where the signal isn't too strong (but my iPod touch can connect and work perfectly well), it couldn't connect to the network, but that may be because my phone hasn't been added to my uni's network / I haven't signed in on it - but the usual pop up to ask me to key in my user and pass, and to add my device to the allowed devices, didn't appear.

Bugs perhaps

- Google Now went a bit nuts on me earlier, it wouldn't let me search anything from it (both when I press the search bar from any of my home pages, and from swiping into Google Now). I could type the words but nothing happened when I hit enter. Voice recognition wouldn't translate any of my words either (the little dots weren't appearing while I was speaking). My wifi was on and I could perform searches through chrome. Restarted my device and Google Now was back to usual.

- Notifications are a little cuckoo too, sometimes the led flashes for notifications, sometimes it doesn't, even when I've not changed any settings. I've installed light flow lite, it's regulated the led notifications for the apps that it covers, but my whatsapp notifications still only work as and when it wants to. I'll wait for light flow to be updated for 4.4 (it's buggy still) then I'll purchase the full version.
[Nexus 5 General] deansaunders:
In my thread "nexus 5 power button rattle fix" I've sorted out both the loose button and the dodgy sounding vibration motor.
[Nexus 5 General] simonpdowling:
I had this issue, but ended up having to factory reset as just turning the phone off and on wouldn't work. Couldn't swipe into it, and reminders are broken. Reminders still don't work after factory reset, nor does saying 'OK Google'. I've only had it 4 hours and had to do one reset already, it's a bit annoying to be honest!
[Nexus 5 General] trent25:
That doesn't sound normal! I would've never guessed it was a cell phone vibration motor. Sounds like a micro car choking :laugh:

Everything normal here. The power button started to wiggle a bit in place after few presses out of the box (loosened up), but it seems more than normal to me. No rattling.

Everything else 24 hours later seems ok.
[Nexus 5 General] ears1991:
Loose power button and slightly non flush sim tray, otherwise amazed with this device
[Nexus 5 General] tibosee:
nice digitizer..rtm..
[Nexus 5 General] om22:
My n5 has got absolutely nothing I care about(there are people that complain about every tiny snatch of a gadget)! I sent back 4!! galaxy s4´s because 3 of them even had scratches in the screen after unpacking it. The 4th had a non working home button. I for myself won´t buy any samsung product in the future. I´ve also got 2 friends that are upset with samsungs build quality.

The s4 almost cost´s double as mach as the n5 and has much poorer build quality.
[Nexus 5 General] temka:
I had that as well!! but.. isn't that normal?
[Nexus 5 General] iNaruX:
Try typing single letters and holding the back to your ear...it will sound exactly like this, confirmed with 4 other Nexus 5 owners, 2 of them got replacements...this is an issue like the DAC Chip on the Nexus 7...every Nexus got this, it just depends on the people to notice it...I don`t since I have my keyboard typing vibration off :D

Again: It will only make that sound when having short intervals of vibration e.g TYPING :)
[Nexus 5 General] om22:
Itis completely normal. Was much more noticeable on my old xperia arc s
[Nexus 5 General] UCLAKoolman:
It uses a 1.2A USB adapter. I have a extra 1A and 2A laying around, but no 1.2A AFAIK.
[Nexus 5 General] bahnburner:
It should charge just fine with both the 1A and 2A adapters. I have a 2A multicharger at home and a 1A charger in my car and both work just fine. It should charge on anything over 750mA.
[Nexus 5 General] Fidelio_o:
My volume rocker is driving me insane lol every time I move the device, or press the buttons you here the rattle.

My nexus 4 showed a grid pattern pretty visibly doesn't affect anything .

My new N5 is on its way from my carrier, hopefully this one is flawless :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] rochrunner:
My power and volume buttons are solid, but the edges of those buttons are pretty sharp! Not that it would cut you, but likely to snag when pulling it out of my pocket. It would be nice to take a rotary tool and touch up the edges, but it would be VERY tricky to do without hitting the edge of the case.
[Nexus 5 General] trent25:
You're right it does make that funny noise with my ear up against the back, but I doubt I'll ever need to use the keyboard that way :p

I hadn't noticed in the past 24 hours of me closely trying to check if my N5 has any defect or something not working.
[Nexus 5 General] MaulingDeOso:
I've got at least 7 stuck bright pixels of various colors, and light bleed just like in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2513944 :(

No button rattling at all, though.
[Nexus 5 General] nagle3092:
How has replacements been going for everyone? I put in last night to have my N5 with dead pixels replaced, the order says pending leaves warehouse in 2-3 weeks! Also anyone notice the changed the return policy, now you have 21 days from the email they send you to order your replacement. Not the 14 days from the time your replacement arrives like it used to be. This is bs if it take 2-3 weeks for the damn replacement to get here. I’m going to have to send it back before a new one even comes in. The way it’s looking I might just cancel and order from Amazon when they arrive, they play store is getting ridiculous.
[Nexus 5 General] iNaruX:
Sure, here you go:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7q6j7iviigfmxt0/VIBRATION Nexus5.m4a

See? I dont even think it is considered a defect, that`s just the way the vibration motor works ;) Still, I wanted to know if others were experiencing it, and -> they do :D

[Nexus 5 General] gtj0:
32gb Black

No display issues at all.

No rattles that I notice.

Vibration is nice and deep

Very happy.
[Nexus 5 General] Kenneth131:
OK guys I thought I would update you on my nexus journey.

I ordered a 32GB White. The one delivered Monday

Vibrate motor flat out did not work.

Power button rattled

So reluctantly I RMA'd it due to the vibe motor not working I was going to live with the rattley button as the one I used in carphone warehouse did the same.

Anyway spoke to el goog and they sent me an RMA letter to print out at home and put in the box.

I was told the returns label would be in the new box.

Well collected my new one and inside the new brown box was a Parcelforce returns BAG!! How awesome no faffing with labels or boxes just put it in the bag and drop it off at a post office or Parcelforce depot

Anyway the new one is is...Fine.

The power button although it can move around in the cut out it has to be moved by me it will not freely dance about like the last one.

Now when I tap on the screen it does not make a noise except from the camera which is normal and we all know this.

If I shake the phone it will not rattle.

Now I've not checked the screen with a microscope nor do I intend to it looks fine at first glance on boot up. I haven't checked for dust either I shall later as that would be a bummer.

But I thought I would let you know that there must be some out there that don't rattle. Again I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't physically had it in my hand as all that I have tied to this point did rattle.

I hope that helps knowing the UK RMA procedure is so much better than last years TNT fiasco as well.

I would point out I have just got this and there is no guarantee that down the line this power button wont loosen up anyway.

Food for thought

Anyway I'm away home to try this and see how this one goes. Hope your all enjoying your nexus and nexi
[Nexus 5 General] iNaruX:
Try listening to my voice file and confirm if your vibration motor does the same noise when listening closely while typing something on the keyboard...
[Nexus 5 General] Blainedh:
I uhh... have absolutely no complaints.

No dead pixels/dust.

No button or lens rattle.

Extremely minimal light bleed.

Good vibrations.

This is pretty damn awesome. Though I'm coming from a Galaxy S so...
[Nexus 5 General] AlienSr1:
Mine does exactly the same sound, it's so annoying when typing in a quiet environment.
[Nexus 5 General] crazyalaa:
My phone had 1 dead pixel and I ordered my replacement. Hopefully it will arrive soon, they put the price of another Nexus on hold from my debit card which sucks but understandable.
[Nexus 5 General] cyburke:
N5 picked up yesterday... 16gb white.

phone touchscreen seemed to be working pretty good (so far) -- today i unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and flashed SU -- since then i've had touchscreen issues all over the place. (my hands are clean!)

touches when typing aren't registering, touches to app icons take multiple taps, etc..

anyone else experienced this?!
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
Just made a quick video to demonstrate the rattle: http://youtu.be/7R4xncTGLaU

Anyone saying that the brand new phone does not have the loose button: It was the same for me but it became worse over time.
[Nexus 5 General] drew2d1:
Anyone had a problem with the back on screen button not working?

A restart fixed it.

It doesn't make that high, screechy noise for me.

[Nexus 5 General] leomd333:
I like the noise of it xD
[Nexus 5 General] AlienSr1:
Not as bad as the other one posted, but you can still hear the motor itself.. like a dying rc car :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] klubhead:
Finally got mine today, white 32gb.. I have 2 dead pixels, a little off center from the center of the screen thought it really doesn't bother me much.. Everything else is rock solid, speaker sounds great, buttons don't shake.. is it worth tryint to RMA? And since I'm sure stock is very low, would it take long to get a new device?
[Nexus 5 General] iNaruX:
Different mics, I guess...but I do hear a high-pitched voice in your file....oh well...in a german-only Forum there are many aswell reporting of exactly THAT sound in my sound file :D

P.S: You´re not the only one who is crazy...look at me or all the other guys complaining about a minor "button rattle" :D Fanboys ^^
[Nexus 5 General] AlienSr1:
I think it depends on where you bought it, someone said google has exchange devices which do not count as "devices in stock".
[Nexus 5 General] om22:
Mine sounds exactly the same. It´s much much better than the noise of a xperia zl vibrator (you can really call it noise there)
[Nexus 5 General] AlienSr1:
Do you have a link to that forum please?

Also, are there actually devices which do not have the vibration motor problem? I'm not going to get a new device now if it will likely have the same problem.
[Nexus 5 General] craiigman:
45 pages of defects already, oh dear :(
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
So you guys think it is a faulty motor? I don't know. I don't want to RMA if I am not sure. Maybe it just does sound like that and it's fine.
[Nexus 5 General] klubhead:
Interesting.. I bought it from Google.. I just sent them an email.
[Nexus 5 General] Castro27:
After last year's fiasco google probably tried to stock up in a hurry. This might explain the high number of faulty phones. Don't worry, future hardware revisions should be fine.

[Nexus 5 General] Eaglestrike511:
Black 32GB only problems or if you can even call them that very minimal and don't bother me at all.

The sim tray isn't flush, hardly noticeable and actually feels like part of the phone design honestly.

The buttons are a little loose, but in return are also very clicky and I prefer that.

Unless your purposely shaking the phone like mad, I can hear some buttons move, or camera, whatever it may be. Not even a minor annoyance really.

No dead pixels, no wonky vibrating motor, hardly any backlight leak to speak of, and the speaker is a little on the low side but what can you do?
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:

Guys, the phone is unapologetically LCD IPS. Quit staring into the corners of your phone, go outside and go for a run. Take a deep breath, enjoy your new Nexus :)
[Nexus 5 General] iNaruX:
1. If it is allowed: www.android-hilfe.de - you specifically asked for the name :) Hopp (second "p" intended as it is german :P) over to the "Plauderecke" and you will find the "Nexus 5 Smalltalk ...thread", also in the Nexus 5 Forum there is a "Sammelthread Nexus 5 Gerätemangel etc."

2. No, this is not a faulty motor...it is just a combination of a bad place (right on the backplate!) and a cheap motor IMO. Do not get a new device because as of now all of the vibrators (gross :D) have that "problem".

Definetly not a faulty motor...you won`t even notice it most of the time and never if you turn the vibration on the keyboard off...it definetly just "sounds like that" and is fine, no worries ;)

I wouldn`t even consider it a "defect" as such ^^

Here's a new one... My phone is running hot and being laggy. I did a antutu test and it showed my score as 16000! Checked the clock speed and it was at 1.89Ghz... I wake up this morning and unplug it fully charged. Went to work, looked at my phone and it was down to 80% in 35 minutes!! Called and RMA'd it immediately. Anyone else have this issue. I did FDR, didn't help at all. Now RMA says 3-4 weeks. Anyone get a shipping notice a couple days later with it saying something similar? I definitely need a replacement sooner than that!
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
Did an RMA today and got 3-4 weeks, so if I get a shipping confirmation sooner, I'll let you know.
