On my newly exchanged sensation, I have noticed that the capacitive buttons at the bottom of the phone are not evenly lit up. The home button is slightly brighter than the the menu button. Also the search button is a little brighter than the back button. My first unit that I returned cause of battery issues had perfect , even lighting on all four buttons. Also, on this unit, it makes a creaking noise when I press the screen on three bottom left side. I might return this one also.
Has anyone noticed the same uneven button lighting on their phone?

Yeah, the menu and back are lighter, but very minimal.

Yup. I know from reading at the thunderbolt forums that htc used 2 LEDs to light up the four buttons and they had the same issue so this maybe the case also. Anyone else with the same issue?

You better take it back. Make sure to explain that your lights are uneven.

Ya, I should do it, especially since it also has that lower right screen creak/click thing going on . This whole experience has not been that great. I mean, I love the device but would love to have 1 great unit free of these defects. Then I will truly enjoy this masterpiece!

I'm not saying it isn't an issue. but of all the issues i've seen so far, if when I get mine this is all it suffers with I'd be happy. Not too sure about the creak tho, that would be a bit off putting. HTC are normally good built quality, so a creak would be annoying.
There have been a fair few faults with this device so far, but it does seem that none of them are affecting all handsets, so hopefully there aren't any major faults going on
I think I see what you mean OP about the uneven backlit keys. For my device its minimal and you can barely notice it. I do however have light leaking from the seam next to the left of the home button. Does anyone else have this?

Same for me, very minimal. I think it's the same for all of us, actually I hadn't noticed it until I read your post and had a careful look at it.
But your creaking noise, if not coming from the back cover not completly locked correctly, so coming from the screen itself, is more worrying, your screen must be badly stuck, like for some people on the forum, so you should take it back
(see if dust is coming under the screen in the creaking area)

I also have the light leaking but it is on the other side beside the search key. It is very tiny so it doesn't bother me at all. I think I will keep this rather than exchange it for another problem.

I also have the light leaking from the seam near the home button. At first it looked like a glare, but it's obviously a crack where the light is leaking through. It's bothersome to me (my annoyance is increasing) and I think I'm planning on returning (exchanging) the phone. it's concerning to me, because I don't really know where that opening goes, i.e. where will the dust, sweat, lint, etc. migrate to once it inevitably gets inside there. Of course, everything else seems ok for now, so I wonder what other problems I'll get with a new unit.

Mine doesn't have any dust under the screen so far. Let us know if your new unit will be perfect or will have other problems.

Yea, i just came back from Walmart. I returned the second unit , couldnt deal with it, and ordered a new one from T-mobile on a new two year contract. They offered me an early full upgrade (9 months early) with a new contract. Final price 200
I'm happy. Let's hope the has perfect build when it arrives early next week.

I just got a G2X yesterday and it has backlight arterial flow. It's not obvious looking head on but it doesn't take much of an angle to see light peeking around the edges. I've heard this is a "known issue" but would anyone else return their phone for a replacement? How likely is it that I'll have the same problem with the next one? I've had the vibrant since release and I've gotten used to the contrast and color of the amoled screen but I don't think I'm just being spoiled. For $500 I feel light bleed should not be an issue. Black uniformity? Ehhhh not quite as much but still... Anyone care to comment?

It is very likely you would get another phone with same issue.
LG uses a screen texhnology that has that bleed.

Youre new around these parts aren't ya? Lol
Its a very well know issue. Look around this forum and you'll find countless references to it. It comes down to what is acceptable for you? Some people have returned and exchanged multiple times to correct it. For me, its barely noticeable and only on a black screen in a dark room so it doesn't bother me.
Look around the forum and then judge for yourself if you can live with the problem.
I'll probably try a return and if it happens again, I'll just deal and think about an upgrade later on. Like I said I'm used to the samsung screens so this problem is all new to me. Overall the build of the phone feels sturdier than the vibrant. I also like that web browsing is much smoother.
I can deal with that. I don't want reboots and a over heating phone. The screen problems are minimal on my phone.

Have you done a complete hard reset/restore of the phone? Factory data reset?
It significantly cooled down my phone after doing it. Never had a reboot on the phone afterwards, but prior to that I only had one reboot, so I don't think I had a problem
I had installed a bunch of task killer/ battery saver apps on the phone, and the combo screwed things up software wise.....have not touched any task killers since.
I try that when I get a my new memory card.
Thanks.

If mininmal light bleed is your only problem just keep it. Most likely the replacement will also have it. Even with light bleed the screen looked better than the sensations...

Just received my replacement nexus 5, 311k with larger speaker holes and like everyone else my screen is super yellow and looks terrible. Has anyone screen cooled down and lost the yellow tint over time or is that just a myth? Also does faux's gamma control app fix that?

Now that you mention it, when I first got my N5 it did seem a little yellowish. After a few weeks either my eyes have adjusted or its gotten better

The screen will get better after a bit. Its a case of your eyes adjusting to it and whatever glue that needs to dry (which is beyond me). Mine is a 311k as well and the yellow tint has definitely decreased. I also have faux's kernel and its kernel app has a gamma patch that helps with increasing certain colors over others.

You will get use to it. My second N5 was much more yellow then the first one I had. Barley notice a thing now that I have gotten use to it. :good:
Just to throw it out there for anyone I received my initial N5 311k model and it had problem with the power button so I RMA'd it and got a replacement with the new hardware (bigger speaker holes) and like some people seem to notice the screen on the new device was extremely yellow and warm. I let it sit for a while overnight and turned the screen on every once in a while to the white background of Google now and overnight and the more I used it the screen lost its yellow tint and cooled down, so it seemed to have gone away by itsself...just posting for anyone else who might have the same issue

FYI..
nexus 5 have two version display , That's normal.
and if you have tune color , flash custom kernel Franko r23 and install app N5 Gamma Testand , then tune colors like you want

good question, anyone else have any update on this?
Why does everybody blame the glue. Issues with glueing are commonly seen as small yellow circles in the corners of the screen.
A completely yellow tinted screen for an extended period of time will almost certainly be a calibration issue.
No screen is identical and lg will not individually calibrate every single device.
Either RMA it or look into fauxs calibration app

Why does everyone call 311k a model? Its not. Its hardware rev_11 like all other nexus 5's!

Hello everyone, i got my nexus 5 a few days ago. And i noticed some light bleeding, is this considered "acceptable" light bleeding for the N5? Im thinking that if i rma it, i might get one with worse light bleeding and maybe other issues too. Do all N5 have this issue? Or mine is not that noticeable to go for rma?
It would be very difficult to get a nexus 5 without lightbleed of varying degrees. Its a common trait of LCD technology
You can only ask yourself if it is acceptable. To me it is. You would find it almost impossible to get one without bleed. That said, you may get one with less but then by the same token, what does it really matter? If you wanted the screen to be dark in a dark room, LCD could never achieve that without an LED backlight system.

I think it's fine and not worth the RMA unless you just have to have that perfect device.
Depends how noticeable it is to you under normal usage conditions. Generally we don't use our phones in the dark with max brightness, but if it's bothering you in day to day usage then it might be worth trying a new one.
Not horrible as my RMA's Nexus 5 lol
Comes with the territory. If you feel black should be real black on your phone, get one with an amoled display type. But that technology comes with its own disadvantages like burning in pixels.
You'll have to decide for yourself what's most important to you.

We have our own "image persistence" issues with lcd too

I had the screen bleed issue on my Gnex as well, even though it is AMOLED. Haven't noticed it really on the N5 though.
You cannot have backlight bleeding with an amoled display: they don't have a backlight.

Well I don't know what to tell ya because it did have it. The whole screen when black would have a glow to it. I don't know if you could technically call it light bleed but it looked like one of the pictures in this thread.
I think if the bleed just slight in the minor region.. accept it and enjoy your phone unless it somewhat major defect..
Trying hard to find a tiny bit of defect on this Nexus 5 beat the purpose of buying the awesome phone or we called it the developer phone..

Personally I never have my screen on full brightness unless its super sunny out. So I don't ever really see the bleed. However. Whatbi see in your pictures is two corners bleeding. I only have one corner bleeding. Back when I repaired phones I got this a lot with the HTC amaze. There is a 4 corner rule. If you get bleed on all for corners. Send it in. And I mean bleed. Not fade.

Yes, there and where the volume rocker is.
Top left corner here as well, not going to RMA. It wouldn't most likely change anything; bleeds are more like a feature.
Hello everybody, I wrote this also in the official OPO forum, but nobody seems to have my problem. Basically when the phone vibrates (during typing, with notifications or anything else), most of the times I can hear a sort of creak/squeak coming from the phone, probably corresponding to the vibrating mechanism inside the phone. If I try to push through the back cover nothing happens, it's very solid and does not squeak as my old Nexus 5 did. It seems like something coming from the inside. I think it could be related to the vibrating mechanism touching somewhere on the motherboard or any other piece of hardware inside the phone.
Anyone else has the same problem? That's quite disappointing
Hey there,
Oddly enough I have noticed the same thing. Not sure if its worth me kicking a stink up over it or not yet.
Just received my OPO today and I have the same issue. I had this issue on some Nokia 920 and some older HTC phones. After doing a warranty replacement on those devices the problem went away. Its definitely a hardware issue in my opinion.
Still deciding if I want to keep this phone. Also have the yellow hue problem at the bottom of the phone and some very dim capacitive touch screen buttons.
Its a shame. I'm really enjoying this phone for other reasons.

1) The yellow hue at the bottom of the screen is supposed to go away over time.
2) The capacitive buttons are intended to be dim so that's definitely not a defect.

Thank you for the quick response. After using the phone for the past couple of hours it seems the yellow hue has already gone done. Either that or my eyes are adjusting to it.
I wish you could adjust the brightness of the buttons. Maybe a future software update will fix that. I also have turned off the capacitive button but you lose some screen real estate by doing that.
