[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor1k:
Hyundai is $20k I don't think you can afford that. And yes they still develop rattles after about 3-4 years. It's understood that's what you're going to get when you buy one. The engine quality is where it needs to be now, though. Like the specs of the phone-- It's still a good deal, faults included.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

well, I really meant that more in the general sense, things like light bleed on the screen corners and the 2in^2 purple patch, both of which I have on mine near the top. I can only see the purple or the light bleed when the screen is basically showing black, and even then it's not that bad. So I haven't returned it. And I expect I won't. Not over that...

I would encourage everyone to do as I've done and not return their phone over piddly things. I only RMA'd my first one that had a bit of light bleed too because all 3/4 of the sensors stopped working--light, proximity, accelerometer, etc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutchy69:
The case fundamentally failing is not a piddly little thing. It's a serious problem that is only going to get worse until the phone ultimately stops working.

Developing rattles after 3-4 years is not the same as developing cracks after 3-4 months. And for your information, I can afford 20k for one since I've just bought one :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor1k:
hairline fracture is NOT fundamentally failing.

the rattles are normal, almost everyone's has them due to slightly loose buttons. most people put up with it. not a big deal

hope the hyundai doesn't rattle to much....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Yea I have the same crack at the sim tray as show in the OP. Sucks, but not worth the hassle of trying to get a RMA.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galapagos:
The hairline crack is a result of a plastic molding process gone wrong. It will vary among different batches based on the manufacturing conditions/machines. G3, manufactured by LG, also has this issue and is entitled to a free repair (part replacement) in Korea. Nexus 5, on the other hand, has mixed results in getting the part replacement for free (under warranty). Some owners received free replacements while some were turned down (more than 100 service centers in Korea and thousands of engineers mean different treatment based on when/whom to talk). The hairline crack will eventually appear even if you have never touched the phone.

My nexus 5 has had a relatively stress free life. Never has it been dropped.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Sounds like the same issue here: http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-G...cracks-through-the-microphone-opening_id59667

Maybe the type of plastic LG uses?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaytronika:
My white 32gb is cracked above and below the sim tray. Thus far it's purely cosmetic so I'm not too worried. The build quality of the Nexus 5 has never struck me as particularly stellar.

I suspect one of my last posts last time I logged on to the forum was to mention that my old Galaxy S3 had cracks on it. Heh. So it's not just cheap handsets that suffer from this. I'm sure some folk will be thinking 'He must really abuse his phones'. I don't throw them around and I really wouldn't suit tight jeans. I suspect they just get flexed slightly over the course of the day and the flexing adds up to cracks at weak spots in the long term.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erephas:
I have a small partial plastic crack coming from headphone jack towards the screen. I wonder if it will keep increasing since my notice. I have no doubt it is caused by the use of included headphones and the way I walk around or ride my bike while listening to music.

It's a very minor inconvenience, but still - it looks like the plastic used in manufacturing is not of the highest possible quality.

P.S. The crack itself is so small it's almost invisible on photo. But it's still there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iZak17:
Hi there,

I got both of the hairline cracks: one at the sim card slot and the other at the headphones jack. The worst part is that my N5 is red so the crack on my device is more than obvious.

Question: has anyone asked for warranty directly to google not to LG?

I've buyed my N5 from Spain's google play store but I'm living at another country where there is not technical support from google so they asked me to send back my cellphone to europe with no assurance they will a repair or change of device.

Any suggestion?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutchy69:
I tried both Google and LG. Neither wanted to know anything about it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ybshin5657:
Got repaired

(Sorry about poor English)

I bought my Nexus 5 at January this year, and I noticed 2 hairline cracks near SIM-tray. So I went service center(repair center)to get that part replaced. Repairman(?) says I have to pay for it because I can't prove I did not make that cracks. I talked with service center manager and he told me the same thing.

I went back home and searched about this issue. Soon I found that I wasn't the only one who's complaining about this issue. And LG G3 also has the same issue and it can be repaired...for free! I contacted Consumer Agency(government branch) and I finally got my Nexus 5 repaired for free. But it was an exceptional case:( Someone who wants to get the same repair has to pay for replacement part, or do the same thing what I did.

And then, one of the Nexus 5 user reported it to TV news program. Few days ago, a news about 'Different repairing fees about same repair' has been aired. (#) Next day, and service guideline has been changed! - so hairline crack on Nexus 5 can be fixed for free in here South Korea.

I hope this annoying cracks can be repaired for free in any country.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaytronika:
Having read this I just checked mine and there's a crack up from the headphone jack to the screen on mine there too.

So now I'm doing a full check of all the black plastic on mine:

Cracks above and below the sim tray

Crack above the headphone socket

Crack between the top and bottom of the mic hole on the top of the handset

Signs of a crack developing above the down volume button

Glad I'm not expecting to keep this phone for two years :eek:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kebosatu:
Amazing to know how many folks having this issue.

Mine:

Crack below the sim tray

Crack below the volume rocker.

And I'm intending to use this phone for another 2 or 3 years. not because of budget, but I love pure google os and 5" phone (equal or less)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrutalUK:
Yep, I have the same issue too, hairline crack by sim slot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaytronika:
I was considering a One Plus One, but found out it doesn't do 4G on my network which is an instant nope for me. So I've just phoned Google hardware support who were helpful and have escalated my case to their tech teams. Said they'd likely ask for photographs of the cracks.

The guy on the other end said that it's a rare occurrence which is entirely possible as I'm sure there have been loads sold compared to how many grumbles there are on this thread. That said, it doesn't help if you are one of the unlucky ones.

I'll post back with the outcome if anyone is interested.

Well... to paraphrase... Apparently cracks are cosmetic issues and they won't offer a replacement.

I've suggested to them that scratches and dents are cosmetic issues, cracks are structural.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its nothing to do with handling. The plastic is too thin and cracks under everyday torsion. For mine to not have cracked, I would have had to have not used it.

You're giving it some kind of unwanted stress to cause it crack.

I've dropped mine a couple times but there are no visible marks, so the plastic cannot be too thin

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theegaryb123:
Me too

Same issue, drop the thing from 6 inches onto a non carpeted floor and it's guaranteed to crack on those tiny pieces of plastic, heck that might not even be what broke it I just noticed them one day like many others.

Unfortunately my wireless charging stopped working too. It was only 10 months after purchase so I sent it to LG for warranty repair and they told me my warranty was invalidated due to these cracks, and wanted $150 to do a full refurbish. I told them I didn't care about the cracks they have nothing to do with the wireless charging and they told me oh well too bad. Told them I won't ever buy anything from LG again and send me my phone back.

Fortunately I bought it from the Play store so their hardware team is going to send me a refurbished replacement no charge. Thank God for good google support, LG can go to hell.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
I never even knew this was an issue until I saw this thread. N5 has been under a tempered glass screen protector & heavy duty case since the day I got it. I don't think I've even touched the phone itself, ever, besides putting it in the case. Then I saw this and had to check. One small hairline fracture from the back of the phone towards the SIM tray and one by the headphone jack. Oh well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nospleen:
I sent mine in to LG for a crack near the sim tray. The status shows the repaired the unit. Does anyone know what all is replaced during this repair? Do they send a refurb unit, or just replace the sides? (Not sure if that is possible or if the sides are replaced, so is the front or back, etc...)

I am curious because I had a few hairline scratches on the screen. I'm hoping to get a refurb or that the repair also requires the front glass to be repaired. Anyone know?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemetrix:
My back Nexus 5 had cracks around every port and button after a few months.

Fitted a new screen, back and frame last week and today I look at it and there's 4 fresh cracks on it. Not near ports this time and assumed poor quality replacement part but now I don't know. It's been in a case the whole time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
After reading about the cracking plastic issues on the nVidia shield tablet, I wonder if this could be heat related as well. Expansion and contraction from over heating perhaps?

For the record, still no cracks after 13 months. I am fairly careful when it comes to the phone over heating, though on occasion my phone has gone into subzero temperatures during cold Canadian nights.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Towerdragon:
Just noticed 3 cracks on mine bought it about 11 months ago one near sim tray, on near headphone jack, and one near volume rockers I'm a bit bummed about it but a long as it does not get bigger I guess or phone does not break in half I can live with it. I'll probly be looking at the Nexus 6 sometime next year.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seXneo:
After way too many mails, accusations, misunderstandings and weird shipping info/sudden out of stock messages I finally got my phone replaced. I payed nothing. But I forwarded this thread to Google and had to threaten them by involving a third party.

I suggest everyone to do the same. Hopefully Google does better job at QA next time. Those are the kind of problems that nag on the brand value. I'm from Germany in case you are interested.

And by the way. A friend of mine got the red Nexus 5 3 month ago. Same cracks: ear phone jack ans sim card tray.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snappycg1996:
Just thought I'd chime in here as well

I have a 32GB White Nexus 5, and it has been dropped I think maybe twice and out of those drops I have had pieces around the bezel chip off. Currently only two pieces are "chipped" and during my first drop (outside in dirt and rocks Dx ) the back popped open.

However before I dropped the phone at all I noticed hairline cracks on it. I have cracks around the SIM Tray, Headphone Jack, and at the volume buttons. Ironically, the crack is at the bottom of the SIM/volume buttons and I can even make the device slightly make a "noise" if I press it a certain way around the SIM.

I don't know what causes this over time but it seems it's happened to a lot of people. But I don't worry about it, it still functions as normal for me. Scratches, scuffs, hairline cracks and all :)

EDIT: after looking at some of the pictures in this thread of cracks near the SIM, Volume, and headphone parts of the phone, mine is exactly the same way. Down to a T.

I have a black 16GB Nexus 5 and the same issue. I will try to bring it to a store where I bought it, referring to this thread. First I thought it might be due to my handling, but hey, I do babysit my phone, and even when it does not look like new, well, it's been used daily, also the back letters came off (after 1 month or so), I never dropped it, always had screen protector. Don't know what the statement will be, but I might to RMA it.

This would be a huge undertaking to say the least. There's a good reason that experienced ROM dev's don't jump all over this task. It's a cool idea for sure but is it practical due to the complexity and experience required to do this sort of thing?

I hope you have some success with this because it would be pretty awesome actually. Especially if Sense 6 was fully functional. Now are you trying to port the whole Sense 6 Rom? Perhaps you could contact a dev in the HTC EVO 4G LTE forums and similar HTC forums because those guys are always anxious to port the latest and greates versions of Sense for their phones so I'm pretty sure they could get you off to a good start. Just a thought. Seriously... good luck with this I hope it works out because i'd definitely flash it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Again, this type of thing is gonna require some serious skills not just basic rom porting. To port newer versions of Sense on HTC phones that originally ran a previous version is still a major task let alone porting it onto a completely different piece of hardware. If it was remotely possible and feasible it would have already been done by dev teams that do have the knowledge to this sort of thing because it is a very cool idea. There's a lot of people would be interested in having Sense 5 or 6 on their phones. Let me put it this way... If highly skilled rom dev's aren't currently working on porting Sense 5 or 6 then chances are they know it's not worth it due to the complexity.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CNexus:
To be honest, I'd suggest you get familiar with rom porting in general before you try to port over a vendor rom.
