Hello everyone who has a nexus 5 I was wondering if you Guys are experiencing creaking around the flash area of the phone. I also noticed a gap between the lens and the back plate and I wanted to know if this is just me or everyone.

I think that it has to get used to it's bezel. Mine dissapeared after some time ofcourse, there's nothing to worry about. Just be gently with it :laugh:
Maybe the for the tips

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with the back cover of my Nexus 5. When i touch around the flash LED i can hear a suspicious creaking sound. I had never heard a problem like this un this forum. Should i order a replacement?
Thanks
Did you drop your device? Could be a manufacturing fault as well... If you can bear the slight creaking, just ignore it.. Else RMA it...
However, I don't see the point in RMA'ing a device for such a petty reason. What if you could get a device with other defects?
No, I didnt drop it !

Do you have the revised version?
Do you hear that sound when you touch around the upper right section of display? You might be hearing the power buttons rattle.

What do you mean? I'm talking about the bigger speaker holes, smoother plastic edge and tighter key holes/no sharp edges anymore.

Some have bigger holes than others. Some have less rattle in the buttons than others. Its not a revision

No, that's not the problem, it's something like that but in the back. The display seems to be ok for now

Ignore all those rumors. Only way to tell if you have a different newer revision is by checking in the Fast Boot Mode of your device. And as far as I know no production device has anything beyond rev 11. The difference in certain dimensions that you might have noticed is due to the different production assembly lines of various Nexus 5 devices.

Awesome! I thought I was the only one experiencing this. But yes I have the same issue. Upper left hand area makes a creaking noise when touched or handled certain ways.

Surely the thread is finished. It creaks. So what? Everything creaks. either put up with it or return it. What else is there to say?
To be honest, not even sure why this needed to be a thread at all. We have a "defects" thread AND an RMA thread. You could have posted in either of those

I dont think I've ever checked any device I've owned for creaks. What the hell is a creak and why does it bother so many? I really don't get it

What, you don't poke and prod your plastic devices from all angles? You should try it. What a rush!

Its impossible to notice the Nexus 5 creaking unless you put it in some sort of a chokehold. It's a phone, who squeezes a phone?
Some of these people are just looking for things to pick at instead of enjoying the phone.

My day one Nexus has a non functioning GPS, since it was still under warranty I started the process of returns in December. Since then Google has shipped me 2 phones with vibration motors that sound like a wreck. I'm waiting on the third replacement now. Am I swimming upstream with this one or has Google started shipping fixes yet?
There are no fixes. Its either faulty or not

I get that, I'm wondering if anyone is starting to see units that do not have that problem shipping?
Mine from 12/2013 has loud a vibration motor. Sounds like a dental drill!! Waiting a couple months before I try to RMA. Sounds like they're still rolling out crap ones.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mine is a brand new RMA from T-Mobile fresh in the Google box. Motor sounds like absolute crap and just feels loose or something. I can't stand it. I am going to wait a few months before I do it again. Hopefully better models will be out by then.
What vibration motor defect?

Some owners report an extra loud vibration from the motor as if it were loose or something

Aha that. Tbh my N5 vib. motor acts the same as my nexus 4 used to, and both are a lil bit off when compared to a GS3 for example, so i'm guessing it's either buggy drivers or cheaper hardware that LG is putting in the nexus line. Either way, i'm afraid guys who are RMAing will not get what they are looking for

I think you're right.
I've never experienced the N4's vibrate but I prefer the n5 (that I have anyway) to my s3. Its more like the elasticity twang of an xperia. But then mines quiet so I dont have the issue the op has.

does it happen to your phone that sometimes (randomly) as if it loses vib. strength, and you can't feel it while typing, then after a while everything comes back to normal.. ?
This is a thing i used to notice on the N4 and i'm still noticing it on the N5, there are actually threads about it in the Q&A section..

No, I've never had that either. I guess I've been lucky but I've never had any issue with vibration

1. N5 16gb: quiet -> went back for 32gb
2. N5 32gb: louder, but still ok
3. N5 32gb: ****ing loud
4. N5 32gb: ****ing loud
All 312K. At the moment it makes no sense to RMA...

if this is what OP is facing, then it's terrible.. i guess i was lucky with my N5 too

Trading my note 3 for a nexus 5 maybe galaxy s4 or 5
The novelty of a huge screen has worn off. Touchwiz is good but I don't use its features. I haven't had a nexus since galaxy nexus.
Is it worth it?

If you decide to trade for a S4 or a N5 then make sure to get cash with the trade. I personally came from the Note 3 & traded for a (brand new at the time) 32gb black N5 still in plastic, plus $150 cash & never looked back.
sent from my neXus 5
Imo HTC M8 > S5 by far. The N5 is the cheaper option but still a strong phone.
In the end it is you who needs to make the decision and who's gonna use the phone try to think about it for yourself, go in stores to try some phones. Whatever others on XDA or anywhere may say, the point here is that you get a phone that makes you happy, and only you know which one that is
Google Nexus 5
I love the MXPE! It's a great phone. With that being said, I'm returning it. I got a Nexus 6 at an incredible deal. I had planned on reselling it but after opening the box and trying it out, I just like it better. I'm coming from a Droid Turbo and I loved Qi charging as well as the AMOLED display. I've previously had all the Samsung Galaxy S series phones along with a Nexus S. I'm spoiled to the AMOLED displays. The MXPE is easier to handle and the screen is plenty big. It's just nice to have the ability to sit my phone down on the TYLT charger at night rather than look for the dang cord that always seems to fall between the night stand and the bed. Plus, I'm on call. When the phone rings at 3am, I feel like I'm going to rip the cord out of the phone when I answer. If this phone had wireless charging and an amoled display it would definitely be a keeper for me. I got the Nexus 6 when the deal was running on ebay for $299(new). It was hard to pass up that deal

To each his own man, glad you at least tried it. On the other hand, the Nexus 6 is still a beast of a phone, and that deal is sweet too
