I don't think the FFC is centered, I have to hold it at a weird angle to center it, is this a hardware fault? or Software? Do I have to open up my Nexus?
What do you mean its not in the center of the device.

Lol, no, sorry should have been more clear. The image it captures is not centered, I need to hold it at a weird angle so I can get a straight forward pic from the ffc.

Guys, could you check something on your sensation: whether the front facing camera pin hole is perfectly in the middle of the lens circle? On my sensation, it sits slightly above the center of the circle. Don't know whether it's designed like that or just a fluke .

Slightly above on mine. Non-issue. Everybody got their panties in a bunch over it in MT4G forums back in the day too.
Damnit it looks like HTCstill has ****ingQC problems. This and now the screen too, **** my luck

Well, good to know that their's other also like this. I mean its no biggie, and who knows, maybe it was designed to be like this. Folks, please let us know how your front camera is.
Wow.. Just wow.
Mine is off center high and to the left but the camera view doesn't seem affected by it.
they put mine on the back
its the same on all the phones, looks slightly higher from the normal viewing angle. just know it doesnt have an effect on your cameras ability to capture images/video so there is no cause for concern. just more ocd phone owners, but i guess we all tick like that
Yeah..same as mine. Slightly up side..
I seem to have a dead pixel in my camera which not only shows up in the camera's viewfinder, but also is present in the actual pictures once they're taken and saved. The screen itself is fine and after doing some reading online I've found that some digital cameras have an option to "clean" the camera sensor but I cannot seem to be able to find an app that will do that. Does anyone know of a fix for something like this?

The only dead pixel apps in the market seem to be for finding those in the screen itself, nothing for the camera.

Clean your lens.
GreenMunky-has this happened before or is it a new problem?

Kvswim- never happened before. The last picture I had taken and saved in my gallery was on 11/17 and there was no dead pixel then. But every time I open the camera, Goggles, or any camera app at all the dead pixel is in the same spot. It's tiny but you can zoom in on it on any picture that I take.

How would I do that? There is nothing on the very outside plastic covering. Either there is something on the sensor itself or it contains dead pixels.

Yeah. Stuck pixel fixers work on the principle that a pixel isn't actually dead, but simply stuck. some actually die and you can't fix them. (we're talking about screens, not sensors). When a pixel gets stuck on a screen, you can keep trying to tell the pixel to shift thousands of times per minute and sometimes it will unstick it, like trying to open a rusty door.
Now on the pixel side, there isn't really a way to force it to start capturing light again and filtering the way it should. I know that the Canon Hack software/firmware for canon cameras have dead-pixel-finders so that you can compensate for the dead pixels, (via filtering in software) and you might be able to find something similar for Android, but it seems doubtful to find this for the phones.
sorry dude. Like they said, you might try cleaning the lens intricately. It could be something that is stuck right there in front.
I have the exact same problem. Three black smudges that are there and show up in every camera app, the viewfinder and even after the pictures are saved. It wasn't happening up until before a month or two ago. The smudges are almost translucent because i can almost see a bit of light coming through them so they might not be the lens. Never seen this happen before on any camera. I even tried cleaning it off very well but that doesn't fix it. Any suggestions?
Just called VZW Tech Support this afternoon... they're overnight shipping me a new Charge which should be here tomorrow afternoon.
same problem
I am also having the same problem.
The pixels are dead and showing a black thick line which destroys the pics.
First I thought that it may be dirt so I cleaned the camera but nothing happened I then realised that the line is not changing with focus or else its intensity should change with focus also when I zoom the pic its size also increases and looks very odd.
By viewing it, it is clear that its not dirt but the pixels are dead.
Pls help me I am a photographer and I only have my android phone as my camera..
It will destroy my photos.
i also have problem with my phone, im not sure if it's a dead pixel.
it only shows when im using the camera i can see red dot when i take picture in black or any dark background. it really annoys me. please i need help . can i still fix it?
I had that problem with my motoe6plus. Ir seems that the default software for the camera doesnt force the potencial of the camera itself.(thats what i think) so it fixed with the 'open camera' app. IT waS verry irritating for me so i hope youll fondo a solution
I have a weird issue, when on skype with someone, I usually have the tablet central to my face, but recently the front camera has kinda gone off centre if that makes sense and therefore I have to tilt it away from my face to get the camera looking directly at my face. Not helpful when you're on skype, anyone have any suggestions cheers, only a small tilt is needed to adjust the camera angle but its still quite annoying

Hey all,
Just a quick question (No, I won't ***** about RMAing ****s left and right)
Do N5 camera lenses make small rattle-like noise when you type with touch vibration on?
I've seen somewhere that due to its OIS system, it will make some noise in certain condition
Just wanted to confirm
Thanks in advance

Yes, mine makes a rattle sound, but I don't think it's coming from the camera. I always thought that it was from the volume keys rattling.

It can also be the vibrator motor.
If you hold the buttons, they can't rattle. Probably best not to shake the device though
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yeah I can confirm that there is some other parts also rattling than buttons. This rattle appears when shaking phone to certain direction or tapping top of the phone (if you know what I mean). It seems to be camera lens or atleast the rattling seems to come from somewhere near camera.
Edit: the noise is indeed the lens. Just tried to tap it when using camera and there is no rattle cause I guess camera somehow "locks" the lens. Anyways, these devices are not made for unnecessary shaking and searching for rattling sounds. Just interesting to know the source of that little "rattle".
RMA RMA RMA.... Lol I kid.

So I have been using on my old galaxy note N7000 one of these 'fisheyes' that you can get online from china for a few dollars. The same thing you can find in the city for like 5x the price.
Anyway this 'fisheye' if you don't know it is a little lens that you can attach, when you need it, to the camera lens of the phone through a magnet. Basically you have a very little metal circle with double sided tape on the lens, where the fisheye will attach through magnetism.
I have tried to apply this to the nexus 5, but I hear some very worrying rattle. What is that? Is that the camera? What relation is between the magnet and the camera? Or maybe just behind the camera (or besides it) is something else like the vibration module?
Anyway, if I shake the phone (hold it from the bottom and shake it diagonally), I hear something moving inside (ticking). Is it normal? What is that? Everything works perfectly, I thought I had messed autofocus but it works normally (it actually works even with the fisheye but while the fisheye is on, something vibrates in a ticky way). By the way, I got the phone like 2 days ago. I like the fisheye is a fun thing for photos and holidays, I can give that up, but this rattle in the phone now is scaring me. Yet the rational part of my brain can't find any reason why a little magnet like the one of the fisheye would damage anything about the phone.
Looks like it may be really the vibration related to this:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/Nfr4WDu-BQw
Anyway some confirmation would be nice. And also to know whether this magnet would make things worse or not. There is a spot where the fisheye can stay attached without provoking any rattle (I keep using this word, I mean something that ticks in a repetitive way don't know if it is enough descriptive), but it would change if I bend the phone in a certain angle.
EDIT::::: now that I think about, the noise by shaking the phone in front and backwards may be the sim card....in fact I cut my standard sim card myself to match the micro sim shape and it was a bit loose. I will check without sim card, but anyway the thing about the magnet and the camera is still an open question I would like to figure out. Why does it produce a vibrating noise and will it damage the camera or not (image stabilizer?)
I hear some rattling when I shake it. Probably nothing to be worried about. I do think it is the SIM card because when I took mine out I couldn't hear anything.

First off, do not use any magnets on the Nexus 5. It will damage the image stabilizer. Secondly, the rattling you hear is the image stabilizer. The image stabilizer isn't broken it rattles because it is made to flex.

So what about all these websites that are saying the camera ring of the nexus 5 is magnetized exactly to host the 3rd party micro lens available on the market??? They all (almost) work with magnets attachments....are they all wrong?

They're not wrong for trying to make money. Our phone has the OIS (optical image stabilizer) and can/will eventually get ruined if you attach a magnet next to it.

The internet is wrong about that one. Take everything you read online with a grain of salt and consider the sources.
If it was a feature of the phone Google would mention it.
