Nexus 5 not focusing - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm aware the stock camera app leaves a lot to be desired, but my Nexus 5 seems to be stuck at a specific focal length. I cannot focus on items if they aren't 15 feet away or so. The tap to focus gives me the focus animation and even turns green, but the object still isn't in focus. Checked all the settings already. Anyone else having this issue?

The lens could be misaligned.

u probably have a fault phone..happened to me when i had my htc one..sometimes it wants to focus or would not at all

Tried using a different camera app and doing a factory reset. No luck.
Didn't think I would have to RMA my Nexus as I didn't have any of the problems people are reporting (I must be the only one on the forum with the stuck lens).
Hope the next one is as good as it gets.

I know it's silly but have you tried cleaning the lens? maybe it got dirty, it's easy to place your fingers where the lens is...

Yup, lens is perfectly clear. I got my replacement ordered, but it says 2-3 weeks till it leaves the warehouse. i thought people were saying that they are shipping out warranty replacements right away...

I'll have to RMA mine as well, for the same reason. I haven't found any other problems so I'm a bit worried I'll get another with a defect.
Too bad it is that. I might have lived with some other build problem.

Unpleasant 'sensation' when swiping 'notifications'...?

I may be alone, but my thumb gets a quite unpleasant 'sensation' when I swipe 'notifications' at the top of the device, it catches on the glass below the speaker grill. It's so annoying I may have to take it back...anyone else notice this?
Hoping I posted in the right spot...
I haven't had a similar issue.

Someone call me? BTW...nope...Gorilla glass is smooth as it should be
Nope. My ROM works great though and if this isn't AlphaRev I don't care.
Please move.

It's where the glass meets the speaker grill, even my son noticed it, maybe it's not placed correctly, I'll have to try another to verify..
its yours', believe me. i've had 5 sensations so far and not one had that issue. exchange it.
I think you're putting your thumb up too high on the screen...
I feel a coarse area there, no reason to swipe that high though.. Not even registered on the screen.

You might be right, I'm so used to HD2 and iPhones, G2x, all swipe from the extreme edge...hmn maybe my habit..I'm reluctant to exchange it as it runs so well... I may have to compare at a local store...Hoping it's just one poorly placed screen...sigh, I love this phone...but can't live with the current swipe...
Maybe you should buy a bigger cell phone......

exactly, it's the way the phone was built, so I don't think a replacement is gonna help.
Kinda noticed it, but it's when you try to tap the "htc" logo on top. Just tap on the notification bar instead. problem solved

Yeah, I'm going to have to change my hd2/iphone/g2x habit....I did go to the store to check out another sense and the T mobile girl agreed, it is a smidge elevated and coming from totally flat fluid screens would make a difference..will re educate my thumb...loving the phone...maybe I ask too much?

grainy screen resolution

Im sorry i have to admit that i did not search the forum first. Im posting from my phone and for some reason it wont let me search. Is there a problem with some of the phones screens looking grainy? Nothing looks sharp at all you can pretty much see every single pixle. Is this the expected quality of the phone or should i take it back to tmobile? Thanks for your advice in advance.
I have owned the sgs4g since before cwm was out for it and this is the first I have heard of this issue.

Wow, ok i guess that answers my question i wish i could take a screen shot of it to show you guys but im not rooted. Ill maybe try with my dslr.
ok, these are what I got.. how you see it is how we see it when using the phone.
I've included the one with a flash because it shows it kinda better. Ignore the greasy screen

Maybe its because the pictures were taken with a camera but I don't see anything wrong

Is it new? Stock? Take it back.

Flip, i agree it is hard to see but if you look at the first picture... At the top of the dock you can clearly see its not very smooth... When looking at peoples screen shots on here... Theirs dont look anything like mine. It is new and stock.. I guess im just going to take it into the store and see what they say.
Also.. In the first pic... You can see how you can see some red and blue... And lines... Thats not the camera... Thats exactly how it looks on the phone
Definitely take it back and let them know it's not supposed to be like that. My lines are very smooth, nothing close to what I see in your pictures. The misaligned lines in picture 1 is already good enough proof.

Spigen cases, sketchy?

So I had purchased this case, http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-ultra-flip-metallic.html, and I got it in the mail today. It is an alright case but my case seems to appear different than what is shown in the stock photos. If you see on the stock photos the card holder is a slanted horizontal slit, well on my case it is just vertical. Well I had went on the their website to leave them a review about it and my review won't show up. So I had thought "Hey I will just let them know on facebook" checked Facebook link on their site and it says it doesn't exist. So then I figured I would go on their Twitter and leave a comment. Well when I pulled up the twitter it says it too does not exist. I had checked the original.spigen.com with the little activation thingy I had gotten with the case and it said it was authentic. There is no other way to get ahold of this company and I am kinda getting concerned about it.

Anyone else experiencing issues with the company? Or anyone else get the same case with the same issues?
I have not had any issues with them, been a customer for over 3 years now.

I had to replace a case due to a defect, they asked me to send pictures which I did and they sent me a new one a few days later.
thanks.

Yes exactly like that! I think I have to return my phone, but I don't want. I don't know how match is the battery drain because of that led.

I'm still waiting for my phone but are you sure thats not the default way it should be?
My girlfriend has the same phone but the white version. And here led on the phone isn't giving any light! So I think it isn't the default state of the phone!

Tbh, I really don't think it's affecting battery life much, if any. I'm reconsidering getting a replacement after using it for a while and seeing what the battery life is like, but that may change.

Agreed.
Someone have any solution ?
Call Google and get an RMA started.
Yep, there is no other way than replacing it.

Problem with the screen

Hi all
From time to time on the display, especially on the screen as attached, one half of the screen is brighter and the other darker. It really annoys me.
Best regards,

I've not seen anything like that on my display. I'm guessing it's a fault with your device.

But it's not all the time. It's time to time, something showing and after very short time disappear. Sometimes it's all the time.

It's not a hardware issue [emoji4] I had the same thing a few months ago. It's some bug with dark mode. I've had a few updates since then and one of them must have fixed it as it never happened again!

When I sent my IMEI number to Oppo Care Global on twitter, after one maybe two days problem was gone and last couple of days, problem don't came back.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned before, but switching off the flicker free low brightness mode off does the trick for me. The black crush issue is completely gone and the green tint is gone by 95% when I switch that mode off.
