[Nexus 5 General] Matrix_19:
I sold my GS3 for a Nexus 5. * I got it for free, since the price I got for my S3 = (cancellation fee with the provider + 50$ to get the nexus 5 with the same plan)

the same day, I noticed 2 or 3 pixels dead on the same tiny spot, in the middle of the screen.

So the second day, I returned it to my provider and got a new one, and it is perfect :good:
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
I am experiencing poor GPS signal. It goes off and takes a long time to fix again. It's impossible to use endomondo, ingress or any gps navigation app, has anybody experienced the same?. My unit is flawless except for the GPS, and I'm afraid to get a more defective unit if I go for a replacement.
[Nexus 5 General] Hobbesfed:
I'm also experiencing poor GPS, except mine just takes a long time to lock. After a lock it stays (I think, and I certainly hope so). Do you also have the static/hissing in the mic when recording video?
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
Yes I do have the static/hissing when recording a video, but it only happens on quiet environments. Is that a hardware fault also? I thought it was software, and I hope the GPS problem is software too because I don't want a replacement and pray for getting a good unit.
[Nexus 5 General] venom_762:
So the dust and crap getting under the screen is this from manufacturing process or is this accumulating from daily use?
[Nexus 5 General] Casanoaa:
I have a s3 nearly 2 year old and I have no dust or crap under the screen...
[Nexus 5 General] venom_762:
So are these devices shipping with crap under the screen or is getting under the screen after it has been used a bit?
[Nexus 5 General] Vercion3:
If u just for ur phone recently and there's dust under the screen, u should return it. It might be a mistake by the manufacturer. Majority of them doesn't have dust that came with it
[Nexus 5 General] cvillalta:
It's gotta be software; a poorly written noise cancelation algorithm.
[Nexus 5 General] venom_762:
I can handle it if it came like this, but if this is gone to be an ongoing problem then I'll going to something else. It brings me back to my htc hero days.
[Nexus 5 General] Hobbesfed:
Yeah I hope it's software as well. Why is google not saying anything? This is driving us mad.. Do you get sound cuts as well when the sound is very quiet? If it's at a certain loudness or louder it sounds perfect for me.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
I didn't use video very much but I hear the static too. If all devices have it then hopefully it's soft ware. If it's hardware then that's a very bad issue for lg and Google if they released a phone with an issue like that unchecked

Please press the thanks button if I help you.

Don't put BS on here please. It is not normal. I've had two N5's 310 311k both different months productuon, one with bigger speaker grills and I cam assure you that my new one which I am returning for thw exact reason as above has a broken motor. My first N5 did not have this problem.

When you have. RMA'd twice and you get a second one which hisses and whirrs at you everytime you press a button makes you believe there is a perfect one. And why should we not? That's what RMA Is for and set up by LG & Google

So you are saying the Nexus 5 is known for having a great vibrator? Right.
[Nexus 5 General] g2uzer:
Mine went crazy today , apps where opening , status bar going up and down , I couldn't turn it off ! I hard restarted it and same thing. I left it alone for a while and now its working , also just now I plugged in the charger to the phone only (not to the wall) and it started charging up! Lol second time its gone wild I'm contacting Google tomorrow to see if I can exchange it. The first time it went wild I had to do a master reset , this time I didn't I just left it alone for half the day ...
[Nexus 5 General] fkloznica:
If someone needs a vibration motor.. I contacted them and they pointed me to this direction .. Don't know if it is the real deal..

[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
That looks about right. The vibrator motor is located on the back plate just like the qi charging. My thought on the motor if mine was faulty was that I would always replace mine if it was the only issue. I wouldn't wanna go through the RMA process for a small part I can replace myself.

[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
Well, contacted Google finally, and they assure me the GPS problem is due to a deffective unit, so they advice to replace it. I am going through this, hoping the new one is everything ok and flawless ...

Still debating if I shoud RMA my vibrate issue. It isn't weak or really loud, it just doesn't feel like other phones and sounds/feels weird while typing.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
It does feel different to other phones. It feels "elastic" to me, like the xperia T. I like it.

This isn't an RMA issue. That's how it is

I have two different backs with two different motors and one is very strong and immediately feels that way. The other is very weak and makes a winding noise. It almost needs time to get to full speed as the other motor immediately feels strong. So there is defective motors out there.

Most important issue

The most important problem for me is the hiss/noise on video recording, i'm really sure that all the nexus 5 have this problem but few owners know it.

Its a serious issue because there are many owners that after RMA several times have the same problem.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Yes absolutely, just not in the case of the person I quoted (unless by "other phones" he actually meant "other nexus 5's" )

Cause I'm pretty sure its software with the noise canceling. If not its a faulty and I think every unit has it. At this point if that's your only defect I'd keep the device. Toy are just gonna RMA and still have the same problem over and over again plus maybe worse defects.

Jup, I meant other phones.

Downtown described it pretty good: 'The other is very weak and makes a winding noise. It almost needs time to get to full speed as the other motor immediately feels strong. '

Altough, mine insn't particulary weak. Long vibrates are fine (getting a call & sms), but tapping the keyboard and backbuttons feel weird.

Were you running uTorrent? Possibly an app causing that. I have issues with uTorrent keeping my device from waking up.
[Nexus 5 General] Ulver:
That's what I did. My RMA had a better vibration but I couldn't take the yellow tinted screen. I rather have a louder vibration than a yellow screen. Plus, I could see the vibration becoming louder with continued use.

The LED doesn't always trigger notification as it should. Sometimes it lights up, and sometimes it just doesn't. Is this a software problem, or hardware problem?

Looking at this thread makes me NOT want to buy the Nexus 5. Moving along again~
[Nexus 5 General] jdk2:
The squeaky wheel gets the grease. It's just a matter of luck. You could get a flawless device, or one with a number of problems. Chances are good that what you receive will be perfect. Not every Nexus 5 purchased is represented here. I would buy another in a minute if I needed one.
[Nexus 5 General] acomp182:
The phone is worth it, even with the minor quirks.
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
That's the thing that some people here don't realize. I am not starting a fire here or anything, this is mainly my opinion. Not one device is perfect; it's bound to have problems and I know that "Screw that I hate this RMA it back.." then you receive another NEW device then you see another problem and post to this thread. I would buy the N5 in a heartbeat and accept that there's a big chance of me getting a device with some sort of a problem. LED notification delay..really? Phone heats up fast...really? Small speaker grill while guy number 2 has a bigger grill...really? Hissing sound on video...really? We have to accept that there would be flaws that we have to live with because neither Google nor LG is perfect. 4.4 is not perfect. Again

I'm not starting a flame war nor am I bashing your problems

I know you paid for it and you can do what you want to do to improve your QoL with the phone, but come on guys, some problems are really trivial and you're making newbies who have a keen interest on the phone NOT want to buy the phone, and even if you're interested (like me) and at least know how to root, unlock bootloader, UV, OC the cpu etc. you would have some 2nd thoughts on buying a phone that's

PLAGUED

(like this thread shows) with problems.

Just my 2 cents

:angel:
[Nexus 5 General] vipinbp:
Haha.. After reading this thread I was scared as ****.. I thought of buying from USA and save money.. After reading all this I decided I'd rather pay more and get a device with warranty in India..

This thread seriously creeps out ppl who wanna buy..

I started praying and chanting that the device should be perfect :p

I have not got a single issue with my phone.. I'm a happy man! :p

I got busy enjoying this device and didn't bother visiting these forums as often.. Frankly, ppl with issues are a minority..

Most ppl are not even aware of xda forum..

It's just luck in the end..

I also have one "dead" pixel or stuck as it appears only on complete black at max brightness

Distorted Reflection/Wavy Screen?

Please tell me I'm just paranoid and all screens are like this... :confused:

So, my Nexus 5 screen is almost perfect. However, the reflections one can't help but see are a bit distorted in my screen. I mean if I can see a reflection of a straight line, if I move the screen in any direction you can see that the line is bent or wavy (or rather it's reflection) and at several points the line appears to split into two kind of blurry lines.

I would expect a little bending of reflections at the corners of the device but in the center with no visible damage or dents is really lame.

However, if that is just the variance of screens when they are manufactured then someone please tell me so I don't waste time wondering if I got shafted. :p
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I think what you are seeing is the digitizer under the glass. Does it look kinda like a grid?

>^.^< Sent From Meow nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] HunnyBearLewis:
Nah, if anything I feel like the line splitting is because of the glass and digitizer not being properly seated against each other. I am used to seeing the digitizer on my tablet, and the lines I am talking about are things that I can see and touch in real life being reflected on the screen and getting distorted.

It was incredibly apparent on a blue sky with the reflection of a power line above me: as I rotated the phone slowly (with the lines reflection perpendicular to the sides of the phone) moving the reflection along the length of the phone. I could see the power line appear to split into two lines over a couple specific spots on the screen and not anywhere else.

It's hard to explain :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Interesting.... I have a glass screen protector on or I would check mine. I'm sure someone else will confirm if there's does that.

Ear Speaker Crackling

Hi,

I've noticed a "crackling" noise in ear speaker. My ear speaker started crackling very bad and it was hard to hear the person I was on the phone with. Even with the volume turned down about half way, I could still hear a little crackling sound but could barely hear the other person. :(:(

Does anybody have the same issue?
[Nexus 5 General] iloganrussell:
Have you tried talking to more than one person over the phone? To verify its your device and not the other person..
[Nexus 5 General] rols2014:
yes, i've tried. but, the same problem(((( Looks like the problem is with the membrane.
[Nexus 5 General] MersauX:
I had a vibration issue when I first got the phone, it needed two or three vibrations to get up to speed, it sounded like it was slowing down and speeding up during the first two or three vibrations. Then I used the Vibration Config app to increase the vibration rate to 85 (original is 70), but I still had that issue mentioned before. However, after a while now I don't have those vibration issues any more, it sounds good right from the start, it seems it got fixed somehow (maybe with the higher vibration rate).
[Nexus 5 General] rols2014:
I think my problem is with an earpiece, and not with a vibration.

[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
When I lay my N5 on the table with display facing down, the phone is not flush with the surface. It has a 1 mm gap between phone and table, so it can wobble up and down on two corners. Is this something to worry about? How is this possible, this is not noticeable whilst using the phone at all.
[Nexus 5 General] samkent6:
*facepalm* have you not noticed the huge camera which protrudes out of the back by a few millimetres? May explain the wobbling. Haha

EDIT: sorry misread your post I thought you said when you place it on the back side-_______-
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
Depends on the ubication of your home, it may be normal not to get a fix. I had problems with my gps with ingress and endomondo, that's why I replaced it (they told me to do so).

But at the same time, in my case at least, my old unit couldn't get a fix at home, and the new one can. That test alone doesn't mean nothing.
[Nexus 5 General] ColdFire InOx:

So on the photo posted, the mic cluster looks closesr to the top edge (well, front actually..its laying screen up) than the speaker holes. Much more than perspective.

Imagine the speaker and much holes are punched through by a single bar that runs perfectly parallel to the screen edge.... then imagine the results if the bar was lowered a mm on the left and raised a mm on the right.... diagonal...

Modern phones tend to bend... be careful where you put your N5.

Hmm, actually I was careful indeed, but I don't know if my phone was like this from the beginning. Perhaps heat made it bend, perhaps force, perhaps it came bent out of the box (which I believe is most likely). I was thinking to RMA my phone because of extreme loose power button, but I was struggling. I still am, since this slight bend doesn't bother me in every day use.
