My phone I bought 2 weeks ago has a power button rattle, and a sim tray than goes in to far. I was perfectly fine dealing with it until I realized the piss poor LTE speeds I was getting. I was getting max 5mbps downloads, while on a galaxy s3 right next to me I was getting 20mbps. Tried swapping sim cards, same thing, poors speeds on my nexus 5. Apparently Google agreed with me because they allowed me to do an advanced RMA. :)
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
They don't but people won't listen they grasp onto anything. Where you around for the n4 shipping thread? Dude the theories as to what was going on were nuts. People where trying to figure out Google's methods where like sticking a needle through your eye but people did day after day after day. Me included and we all drove ourselves mad in limbo. Those who where there can verify unless they were a small lucky few that got there phone shipped within hours even though they order weeks after the initial launch. As the rest of us who ordered early on waited over a month to get our phones lol... Limbo level one, limbo level two and limbo level three :eek::eek::eek:

[Nexus 5 General] Gausselimination:
First off, I just want to say that I'm a mechanical engineer and I design products ( like the nexus 5) for a living.

I would bet my nexus 5 that there is no hardware revision and that the hole tolerance for the speaker grill is +0.2mm/-0mm. Weather your phone's hole are on the upper tolerance limit or the lower tolerance limit has nothing to do with the batch number.

Same goes for the buttons and their cutout hole. You can have a button on the lower tolerance limit and the cutout on the upper tolerance limit and it will fit lose. There is nothing wrong with it.

This is absolutely normal for manufacturing variation and having tighter tolerances becomes extremely expensive for production. This cost gets carried over to the consumer. I think for the price we paid for the nexus 5, the tolerances used are absolutely acceptable.
[Nexus 5 General] TECK:
Same here 310K, I must be lucky... The phone has zero defects, no screen bleeding, speakers issues, vibrator, lose buttons, etc.
[Nexus 5 General] Charlann:
Ditto
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
310k here to from launch. No buttons issue, no dead pixel, minor light bleeding, and color is very nice. White is white not like others N5 I've seen with that yellow tint
[Nexus 5 General] romichaeli8:
I'm really want to buy a n5 but I'm afraid to get a phone with rattle buttons and yellowish screen...
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
Then don't buy
[Nexus 5 General] romichaeli8:
Is there such a good chance that I'll get a phone with those issues right now?
[Nexus 5 General] tlf55:
How do i know if i have the new revisited nexus 5 ? since in my box it's written 311k and the Hw_Rev is 11 ?
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
Don't worry about that guy. To answer your question, yes, there is still a chance to get a defective one. Your best bet would be to order from the Play Store and hope you get one of the newer batches with better QC. Good luck :)
[Nexus 5 General] romichaeli8:
Thanks man

fwiw, I got mine yesterday and it's a 312.
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
Black
[Nexus 5 General] jgw1985:
Ordered mine on 12/14 got it yesterday on the 20th. Was a 311k. A little upset that I got 311 when 312 is out and what was expected. Small speaker holes :)
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
White?
[Nexus 5 General] mmmmBACON:
My RMA replacement is also #312. Has the larger speaker grills, thinner framing around the buttons, 0 light bleed. (Black 32GB)

*Edit: Despite being batch #312, I still had to update from 4.4 to 4.4.2.

*Edit 2: My original Nexus 5 had loose buttons, but other than that it was perfect. I did the paper mod to fix the buttons anyway. It was the modem in the phone that caused me to RMA it. After the 4.4.1 update, I couldn't hold an LTE signal anywhere in the city... New one is strong like OX!
[Nexus 5 General] jgw1985:
Yes, white 32 gig. Sad.
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:

[Nexus 5 General] mmmmBACON:
Yeah, the one DJB posted was what I did, but I used sticky, post-it notes instead.

I did a paper mod prior to that, that worked really well beforehand. I just changed it to the mod DJB posted afterward because I was a bit OCD and wanted to tinker around inside the phone to make everything absolutely centered and perfect! Haha. It also used sticky notes (that I colored black with a marker).

Where the arrow is pointing I placed a small strip of sticky post-it note colored black. Using tweezers, I slid it in between the casing and the button, with the sticky side facing the button. Once it couldn't go any further (you'll feel it make contact with the bottom of the button inside the case), I took an x-acto knife and carefully cut the remaining paper away. If you cut it gently you won't have a problem because the button is ceramic and won't be damaged.

After that, squeeze the button sideways against the side of the case (sandwiching the sticky note) to make sure the sticky note sticks to the side of the button. Once that's done, instead of the mod DJB posted where you've eliminated the gap between the switch and the button, this one you've essentially eliminated the gap between the case and the side of the button. This results in the exact same thing, no more rattle, and the paper won't come out because you've used a Post-it note that has sort of glued itself in place.
[Nexus 5 General] onesolo:
are u from US ??
[Nexus 5 General] bmwjnky:
I got mine Friday from my local T-mobile store, 311K and no issues. I noticed the ear piece speaker grille is black and not silver like some of the pictures I've seen online.
[Nexus 5 General] mmmmBACON:
Nope, Canada. But the Canadian Google Play Store ships everything from the US anyway. My RMA (and original) shipped out of Louisville, KY.
[Nexus 5 General] MasterTec:
My first N5 was a 311K and I had to RMA it because of an intermittent screen issue (it wouldn't turn on unless I "thumped" the top of the phone like a loose connection or something). Honestly I could have probably fixed it by re-seating the cable for the display but I wasn't about to risk taking it apart and losing my warranty.

It of course had the button rattle as well but that didn't really bother me, especially with a case on it.

I just got its replacement Friday which is a 310K but the edges are a bit "less sharp" and it has the larger speaker holes. It also has the button rattle but like I said no big deal. I'm wondering if they refurbished the innards and used the updated case design... or who knows.. maybe the whole 310K/311K/312K doesn't even really mean anything.

The screens look identical and it works fine. What's odd is my first one came with 4.4 and I set it up and all that and then after all was said and done it asked me if I wanted to run the OTA which I canceled to play around on it some and then a bit later I installed the 4.4.2 update.

The replacement wouldn't even let me finish the setup without running the OTA. The only option I got from the wi-fi screen was to set up the wi-fi and I couldn't find any way to continue without somehow setting up a network. No biggie I wanted the update anyway I just found it to be odd. When I put in my wifi password it downloaded and installed the update with no option to cancel or anything.
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
I just got a 311K a few days ago...everything seems working and the buttons aren't loose or anything.

[Nexus 5 General] drawde40599:
Agreed ! I just warranty mine for screen bleeding .... Was getting pretty bad

...., anyways its a 312 s/n and it has the exact same size speaker holes but the area around the Sim tray and power button dose seem tighter than my 310 .... I don't think they changed anything yet its just a different machine or state or or or or ...
[Nexus 5 General] JamieFL:
FYI. I got my replacement last week. My 311k fried. My new 310k is perfect.

These numbers mean absolutely nothing.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

I just RMAd my 311 for a bad screen. It overheated and the Liquid crystals exploded.

I think I see a trend. Anyone else RMA a 311 for a bad screen. Everyone... Your 311 screens are defective. Lol. People, these numbers mean nothing.
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
The number seems to mean nothing at all... It's just there are some production flaws in LG and I hope motorola and or HTC will be next oem. I hope its HTC though maybe then we will get nicer builds
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
Well number means dates so later dates has more chance of having updated button and the grill wherther that helps or not. But mine and 5 rma phobe have button rattling seriously.
[Nexus 5 General] refedit:
Just received mine (#311 on box) batch but not sure if it's..can't see differences in "Speaker Holes" between the device I received and the pics are posted in web.

Although, I saw a video on youtube and a guy who has both devices(310 and new 311 batch), and it's clear that new batch has GPS accuracy better than #310 ones. and mine is near the video example, like 10 feet accuracy.

so I admit that mine's really from #311 batch.

OffTopic: Just a question, I inserted accidentely SIM Card tray removel key in small hole on top instead in SIM card tray hole. did I messed up something!? :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] finalhit:
It's possible you hit the flux capacitor. Might want to get that tested.

I purchased my N5 used without retail box about a week ago and still has the factory screen protector on it.

is there any way to tell what batch build it is ?

GPS works great (accuracy within 10ft)

volume and power buttons look perfect aligned and no rattles, tight tolerance

speaker seems loud enough

thanks
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
There's only ONE hardware revision. Check in bootloader (rev_11).

If you wanted to check what month it was built (10, 11, 12) you can check the serial number in "about phone". However, the serial number doesn't tell you which plant / line manufactured the device so no way to know if you have bigger speaker holes or not without comparing it with another

[Nexus 5 General] PiracyX:
I just got a RMA booked for my 310 I got on launch. I have a few issues with it. Firstly I get weak mobile signal to the point where it drops and this is many times in the day and at random or weak signal locations where my i9100 would keep the signal all with mixing sim cards etc. I've dealt with this for 2 months so enough is enough. Also have power button rattle but not a big issue and light bleed on top of screen but no yellow tint.

Hope my replacement can fix all of these issues but I'm not holding my breath.
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
I think this thread is meaningless. Nothi ng new with 311k.
[Nexus 5 General] Sensamic:
Yes. The problem can be heard on that video.

You might think it's normal but it's not. The videos I record with my SGS3 are perfect. No static noise or distortions.

I bought the Nexus 5 and returned it because of this problem. I could hear background static noise within every video.

If I were you I would RMA the Nexus. It's faulty.

I actually think this is the biggest problem the Nexus 5 has.

And who knows if Google will be able to fix it via an update? If it was that simple they would have already done it, so I think it's a microphone problem and won't get fixed until you RMA the device.

If you did a quick search you'd have found that that is a software issue in the nexus'5 modem blob, nothing to do with faulty hardware. I'm surprised that google is rma-ing all these perfectly fine devices tbh.

Just kidding. My USB charger is loose when inserted into the micro USB port. It was tight at first but has become gradually looser until it now falls out easily. I was perfectly happy with my 310 unit but this has become a very annoying issue. Hopefully my new one is as good as my first one in all other aspects.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Well at least if it's not, send it back and just get a wireless charger. My micro usb has "jiggled" since day one but those huge teeth makes it that there's always something catching on the way out or in. Perhaps the teeth wore down the plastic around the micro USB port on your phone?
