[Nexus 5 General] RedBlueGreen:
Just called Google. Spoke to a very nervous gentleman.. Must be new or from a different department. Had to wait 20 mins to speak to some one.

I explained the issue and told him I can send him pictures. He spoke to his supervisor and then asked me if I dropped it or had contact with water.. I said no.

Waiting for them to send me an email so I can send them the pictures.

After that I should hopefully get an RMA
[Nexus 5 General] oupavoc:
Well I hope to shed some light on this! My New 2013 Nexus 7 had a similar stain on the soft back! All I did was grab a micro fiber towel and damp it with water and wipe the whole back! And then dry with a dry micro fiber towel! Stain was gone and I was a happy camper! Give it a try!
[Nexus 5 General] floepie:
What's great about the soft back is that scuff marks actually buff right out! I had tiny scratches when I first received it, but they are completely gone. Someone somewhere mentioned that they keyed it to death and every mark simply vanishes after rubbing it out.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Yes rubbing one out fixes everything.
[Nexus 5 General] OctoberNexus:
Well that's encouraging.
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
I had similar marks around the "Nexus" logo of my 2nd gen Nexus 7 but only appear in certain light. I'll have to try what oupavoc did. OP's seems worse and the packaging is definitely suspicious. Hope you get a new one!
[Nexus 5 General] ra990:
People are getting headphones with theirs?

Mine seems fine, had two seals, one over the the other (not sure if bottom one was broken or not). Had all the protective coverings.

But, no headphones...
[Nexus 5 General] RedBlueGreen:
I have already tried rubbing it with a micro fiber cloth.. It did work and then the patches came back.

I've just tried it again but much more aggressively.. Looks like its gone but will have to wait and see if it comes back again.

PS. Still no email from Google.
[Nexus 5 General] aznxk3vi17:
Mine was sealed and covered in film properly, but came with two Safety & Warranty booklets. Other than that (and a dead pixel), no problems to report.
[Nexus 5 General] chronicle:
Same problem here, it's gets worse with handling. I posted a photo in another thread since I didn't find this one. Cleaning hasn't removed it yet...
[Nexus 5 General] FlaTLinE-:
this looks an awful lot like the markings on the "demo/leaked" gear we saw released over the last few weeks, basically those same areas were covered with stickers to hide fcc/SN information and added a wide "not for resale internal use only" sticker.

maybe these units were repacked demo equipment

just a thought.
[Nexus 5 General] lensgrabber:
For the record...

32gb black came on Monday. Sealed w/ two unbroken white stickers, two paper manuals, sim ejector tool attached to paper instructions, usb cable and adapter. Back had a black IMEI sticker that I peeled off. Back is flawless. Looks great without that IMEI sticker.

No physical defects after 24 hours. I'm calling mine good.
[Nexus 5 General] sainthalo:
That's what I thought but doesn't explain the marks at the top. Also it would be very easy for LG to put a new cover on, no need to upset a small number of customers like this and doubt G asks for trial handsets back from G staff so doubt they are used ones. Perhaps they were set up for trials but not used and some bod decided to remove labels and ship to consumers. Were these both from Play USA?
[Nexus 5 General] onmike:
Ditto. So far I'm very pleased.
[Nexus 5 General] RedBlueGreen:
Mine is from Play Store UK
[Nexus 5 General] chronicle:
Mine was from the UK play site too. That mark in the middle didn't show a jot after I removed the imei sticker yesterday, neither did the other marks. They have appeared through handling as the day progressed.

On a side note, this battery is an absolute joke. I've had to recharge this silly phone twice in 12 hours! Love the phone, hate the battery life, speaker and funky discoloration going on.
[Nexus 5 General] TECK:
I have this issue:

[Nexus 5 General] RedBlueGreen:
Not to be rude or anything... but why don't you just keep your "issue" in the thread you posted it in? Camera rattle isn't even a defect.

This thread is for a weird and so far unique issue which i don't want to get lost in the "oh my phone has an """"""issue"""""" thread"
[Nexus 5 General] RedBlueGreen:
Yep, exactly the same. Mine got worse throughout the day. I do regret trying to wipe it off now because its still there but hard to notice (easy for me to notice) which might make it harder to get an RMA.

Will call Google again tomorrow since I didn't get an Email from them.
[Nexus 5 General] TECK:
No problem, sorry about that.
[Nexus 5 General] Jeimygirl:
This is mine exactly as well as a 16 GB black.
[Nexus 5 General] david4533:
I have the exact same marks...
[Nexus 5 General] oupavoc:
That's exactly where my stain was! Around the Nexus logo!
[Nexus 5 General] ctbear:
The stain/pattern is one of the main reasons I never considered the black one. Same thing on my 2013 N7.

It can be wiped easily, but sure is annoying as hell.
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
Found a pic of my N7 with this actually. Not nearly as bad as OP's, definitely not enough to care, but still noticeable.
[Nexus 5 General] oupavoc:
Mine was a little worst but it does come off! Well it did for me! Just try what I mented in a earlier post and it should be gone!
[Nexus 5 General] david4533:
Mine goes away with wiping but returns with some use.

Will try to wipe harder or use some goo gone
[Nexus 5 General] chronicle:
I have written to Google requesting an explanation and resolution path, they wrote back saying they are looking into it. I included the photo.

Apart from the back cover my phone is fine and I'm hesitant in sending it back in case I get one with some other issues. Would be nice if they would just send me a new back plate, either colour would do.
[Nexus 5 General] fresh87:
Any developments with this please keep us posted as it looks like I have a similar issue on my black 32gb from the US playstore, thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] Michael95GT:
Same except mine came on Tuesday. Good 2 Go!!!
[Nexus 5 General] aimfire72:
Got mine today, from Sprint. Box looks exactly the same as Play Store version, doesn't say Sprint on the box. On the outside of box, there were 2 circle shaped pieces of tape on each end. On the white box inside, no tape. Inside the box, USB plug and cable, no sim tool. The paperwork inside was Sprint branded.

The phone itself (black, 16gb) only had the sticker on the screen and the imei sticker on back. No stains... no vibration rattle, no loose power button, no light bleed, etc. However, they were kind enough to give me one small dead pixel on bottom right of screen, bah! It's light gray and only shows up on white backgrounds. Barely noticeable, I'm probably just gonna keep it.
[Nexus 5 General] chronicle:
Yes, Google sent me an RMA link to replace the handset and didn't provide any feedback about the marks on the device. Fair enough. I didn't take them up on the exchange since everything else works on my phone, no dead pixels, very well built etc... didn't want to risk getting sent a dud or a phone with other issues.

I'm sure I'll be able to buy another back panel eventually, should these stains persist.
[Nexus 5 General] Xepht:
I've got these exact stains as well, Black 32GB from AU. Tried to used cloth to rub and it seemed to disappear for a while but after some use has returned. It's not really a big deal for me as the stains aren't so obvious and really only show themselves under light.
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
I would never accept a phone when the seals were obviously broken and taped again. I order a NEW phone from them, not something that obviously has been used before.

It is just strange that this happens right with the release. I would not have been surprised if this would have happened a few months from now when RMA devices get shipped out again. But this?! Where does it even come from??
[Nexus 5 General] prgopala:
Even i have the exact same issue with the stains on the bottom part and near the camera lens. Not worried much since it does not show unless you are specifically looking for it. Oh and btw my phone is a 32Gb black.
[Nexus 5 General] arzbhatia:
So, any fix for this? What actions did you guys take? Mine is VERRRRRY prominent haha. But as I got the phone shipped to my country (from the US), I can't get it RMA'd.
[Nexus 5 General] rogem_kk:
Looks like plain injection molding/release agent stains. I really do think every penny was saved during production of this model. I'd just use alcohol to degrease the surface and live with it.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Probably related to the Black's rubberized matte coating.

Hi guys,

I just want to confirm if others have the same problem on sending photos on whatsapp by using Gallery. I am not able to send any photos as attachment in whatsapp when using Gallery app. However, if I long hold the gallery icon, it enable me to choose Photos app and send the file from that app. Does any people has the same problem? How to solve it? Feels so annoying have to long hold the icon everytime I want to send photos.

I mean, couldn't we open up the appropriate apk in a text editor and search for "OK Google". Mess with that if it's actually found. If it's not explicitly open like that at least we tried
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Psycho-:
JARVIS option exists, no modding required!

Continuing with my look at the Nexus 5 here are my thoughts vs the Galaxy S4... coming later this week Nexus 5 vs The One

[YOUTUBE]DO4UEzBf3XA[/YOUTUBE]

Feel free to ask any questions would be happy to answer them..
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
I was really disappointed in Nexus 5 display. They say it uses IPS matrix, but apparently it's a consumer-grade IPS which is crap.

I compare colors of Nexus 5 to a professional monitor from NEC and they are complete off. Whites are just too bright.
[Nexus 5 General] orangekid:
Most custom ROMs will have device tunables so you can calibrate your own screen. i wouldn't worry about it.
[Nexus 5 General] Toledo_JAB:
I would like to ask you to re-title the thread :D

Versus threads are not allowed on XDA

You should rename your thread to something about "Video Reviews for the Nexus 5" (or whatever)

versus threads get closed, whereas review threads are allowed ;)
[Nexus 5 General] mymusicathome:
Thanks for making this video. I'm jumping off the galaxy bandwagon due to Knox and this confirms I made the right choice

Another great advantage on the nexus 5 is price. About $275 CDN cheaper and that is for twice the amount of GB and includes shipping. Can't forget nexus updates and dev support too :)

Sent from my SGH-I337M
[Nexus 5 General] shadowcore:
Well, there are many factors there, Firstly, no phone to date has shipped with a factory calibrated colors. Its not just hardware that plays a role there. All displays that go from TV displays to car displays are consumer grade. Special ones will cost up to €20000, like an AMOLED based TV or so.

Whatever, the nexus uses IPS technology. Somebody should compare the displays of Nexus 5 and G2. Maybe LG did spare some more on the N5.

If somebody does, please answer here.

You should really check out Galaxy S4 GE. It matches all your requirements.

Well I haved a hard choice to make between these two devices I currently own the s4 and I made my decision to buy the N5 with no regrets great video man
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
One thing I've noticed after using Nexus 5 for one day is that its built quality is a cheap plastic.

Samsung galaxy S4 has much solid built quality.
[Nexus 5 General] OKCdurant35:
I don't like AMOLED display:rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] caribouxda:
Were you drunk when you said nexus 5 speakers are louder and that you had never heard such loud speakers?

---------- Post added at 04:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------

Yes until some beautiful day you find out the screen cracked in your pocket:)
[Nexus 5 General] Jimlarck:
They're both plastic really, but I doubt they crack on your pocket unless you completely snapped the phone in half or had something rough/sharp in your pocket with the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] wildpig1234:
Got this for my sister. Already have an S4 myself. After a day, I will still keep the S4. They are both good but i feel a little better with S4.
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
Yes, they are, but S4 has a metal (or aluminum?) rim around the body so it feels much more solid. Not as iPhone solid but definitely better than Nexus.
[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
You mean painted plastic to look like aluminium rim?
[Nexus 5 General] Dan1909:
As said, it's plastic made to look like aluminium.

However, after using the S4 for the past 5 months I can say it has pretty great build quality (in terms of the actual quality of the build). Yes it's plastic, but it's well put together, robust and without gaps or flexing. So far the N5 seems much the same, it's a different style of plastic, and noticeably lighter but it seems well made.
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
Ah ok, didn't know that.

Don't you feel that S4 is a bit more solid when you hold it in two hands and type something? Maybe its the weight difference, S4 is a bit heavier.
[Nexus 5 General] Dan1909:
Heavier yes, but not more solid. Neither of them flex at all, or have any amount of give in them (that you'll notice under normal usage).

I think the S4 might feel a bit nicer because of the extra curves on the side, but that's not really a huge issue. It'll come down to each person, and what they prefer in the hand.
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
I think its the N5 being a little thicker than the S4. It almost give the N5 a hollow feel with it being really light but still a little chunky. Its the vibration motor compared to the S4 which drives me nuts. The N5s is crap.
[Nexus 5 General] Magpie55:
Samsung

I sticking with Samsung S3 for now. Buying new devices every 6 months is getting expensive.

The Galaxy S3 is getting Jelly Bean so Im happy. Maybe Ill get a Nexus 5 for Christmas.
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
Also I forgot to add the fragmentation of the S4 models is a nightmare for xda/developers/ROMs. Don't know what Samsung were playing at having soo many different models.
[Nexus 5 General] deansaunders:
I sold my S4 to get the Nexus. Whilst typing in the screen it does feel different, like the glass on the N5 is thinner or something. Maybe there is a very thin gap between the digitizer and the display which makes it feel like that, whereas the S4 has the glass glued to the display underneath.
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
S4 and N5 are equally thick, you cannot tell the difference.

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

I'm still evaluating Nexus 5...
[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:
How are you giving the edge in storage to the nexus 5 when it doesn't even have a micro sd card? I don't get it. Especially seeing as how you can move apps to the sd card on the s4, it clearly has re edge on the storage department.
[Nexus 5 General] barondebxl:
Then it's an easy choice for you :)
[Nexus 5 General] JonM1988:
Are you serious? I hated the s4 because it felt cheap... Literally had it 2 weeks and sold it.

The nexus 5 feels solid as hell!!
[Nexus 5 General] aw1974:
I've had my S4 since it came out in April. Got my N5 last night and have been doing some head to hear comparisons. The N5 flat out kills the S4 when it comes to speed. There's no delay in opening any apps unlike my S4. I had no idea a phone could be this fast! I think the speakers are equally crappy. The N5 feels cheaper in hand than the S4. The S4 camera is definitely better from the indoor shots I've taken. Both screens are top notch, it just depends if you like AMOLED or LCD screens. With that said I'm still undecided on whether I'm going to return the N5 or sell the S4. I already miss some functionality of the S4, especially the voice commands. I know if I'm patient there will be all kinds of awesome ROMS out that will increase the functionality of the N5. Right now, I'm enjoying the speed. This phone flies!
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
Nah, you're wrong. I have both of them on my table in front of me.

S4 feels more solid.
[Nexus 5 General] msrfx:
I have to agree with you that physically the S4 feels more solid. The Volume and Power buttons on the N5 feel cheap compared to the S4. But I for one am much happier with the N5. The S4 might "feel" a little better physically but it was dog slow compared to the N5.
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
Nexus 5 is indeed fast. Opening new apps, screen transitions, scrolling, everything is smooth and quick.

Although, I would wait when 4.4 comes out on my S4 GE and make a fair comparison. It might be OS related as well.

I assume you have non GE version of S4 that is bloated with Samsung stuff. That is slow, no wonder.
[Nexus 5 General] msrfx:
Yeah, I should have mentioned I had a Verizon S4. I definately interested to hear about how the S4 GE edition compares to the N5 performance-wise. S4 has damn good hardware...Touchwiz ruined it.
