Hey guys, I have a quick question. I bought the N5 last week on Monday and have been through three devices with dirt under the screen/dead pixels. The fourth one sent to me finally seems to be working and in perfect condition, including vibration which was also messed up on the 2nd one. The question is... Is it normal to see the horizontal lines of the pixels while on a white background or any sort of light colored background? Just trying to ensure I don't have another messed up device. Thanks!
::EDIT::
Maybe it isn't pixels... Is it the digitizer?
There is a grid you will see if you angle the screen (whilst off) under light. Have a look shining light onto it at different angles. If this is the same as you are seeing, then yeah that's normal

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're just seeing the digitizer. It's really faint so it doesn't bother me, but I could see someone not liking it.

My TF suffers from some light bleed, it's more obvious in darker conditions as you'd expect, however it's more noticeable if I don't use the auto brightness setting. I have to say that I didn't see it at all in the first couple of days, I wonder if it develops with use?
i usually tend to leave the backseat modding to the proffesionals, but just for fun. did a bit of experiment. i went to the "new post" page, and typed in "light bleed" as the title of post, and what do you know, the forum recommended, 5 other threads about light bleed.
After a search there were 2 threads shown under this section of the forum, the 5 threads are not all TF related. Thanks for your help.
I suspect that there might be others that haven't responded to the other threads and a simple poll may get more results, I may be wrong though.
there is minor bleed on the bottom left..but it's ok and not noticeable unless you look for it in particular (dark environment, high brightness, black picture, etc) ..I can live with it..
you're lucky if your screen is perfect..ipad 2 is not immune to light bleed too..
I moved to the N5 from a SGS 3. The haptic on the s3 was "crisp" fast and pleasant. The N5 is kind of anemic, slow and annoying. I'm not sure how else to explain it. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it possible mine is funky?

Nope, appearently the N5`s vibro motor is not very powerfull for all users.

It's definitely slower and quieter than it was on my HTC One X. But I like that. Doesn't annoy my coworkers as much when it goes off on my desk. And doesn't scare the crap out of me.

I dunno, I don't really use my phones... in that way.
Aw, so reading Fifty Shades of Grey on it won't be as fun??? Total Deal Breaker

Personally my previous phone was an S3 and I prefer the vibrator on the N5.
The previous one I couldn't feel in my pocket when someone rang e.t.c.
This one actually feels faster for me.
Using Franco Kernel (kernels can change vibration's function but I didn't bother to check whether any commits were made to change this so just including it anyway.)

Same here. The N5 vibrator feels elasticy like the xperias. Much nicer feel for me. Whenever I used the missuses xperia t, I was always disappointed by the S3's feel.
I agree the s3's has a heavier feeling though, but I prefer this

I switched back to my S4 for a day yesterday and the vibrator is really strong. It feels like my Sonicare toothbrush. I had to lower the intensity since I'm now so accustomed to the N5. I agree i the N5 does sound anemic (or even like farting) at times but I'm starting to not notice it anymore. My only issue is that on some surfaces it yields a weird vibration noise I think because the motor is mounted on the cover. I'm curious how a new kernel cleans up the sound.
I'm fine with the motor. I do think the slow spin up time can make it seem like it's a cheap, crappy motor. I'm starting to prefer it.

I think the frequency at which the S3 vibrated was a lot faster and had a shorter duration, making it feel "Crisp" I miss that.

Kernels can control the vibrator. Speed, intensity etc - which would change the sound as a bi-product

Right there. The S3s vibrations felt slightly slower but powerful while this feels elastic, light perhaps tickly and very fast.
I have an Xperia Play which I compared with. Almost same feeling.
(But the Play's vibrator vibrates very strong if it goes max power, but on lower vibration power it vibrates just like my N5)

Can turn it up on the nexus 5 with faux kernel. It goes pretty mental.
I generally have it on Vibrate most of the day, and the N5 vibration never catches my attention so I depend more on lightflow to see if i need to check my screen. might have to flash the kernel and see if I can make it more usable
I have to clean the camera lens pretty much everyday, almost every single time I take out my phone of my pocket, I grab it exactly where the camera module is , is it only me? Is there a particular reason why Google decided to move the camera from the middle to the top right side?

Cellphones are compactly designed, they have it there because that's the available space to put it in relation to all other hardware components in the phone. And I think it's more likely LG engineers who put it there.
Just chop off the fingers that get in the camera way or carry a microcloth with you to clean the camera when it's dirty.
Doesn't affect me. Ergonomics dictate that my camera lens is in the bottom-right corner of my pocket

I do the same thing.. Drove me nuts at first, now that I'm more aware of the camera placement I've changed the way I hold my phone..

I have the same issue. Often times it results in hazy photos with light flares.

So do you guys keep your phones in your pockets, right-way-up? Then grab it using "pinch and pull"?
Try this.
Put your phone in your pocket upside down with the screen facing inwards against your leg.
Now pretend you're receiving a call. Slip your hand fully in your pocket (as you would if you're keeping your hand warm) so it is over the back of your phone (which will be between your palm and your leg) and grab. Pull it out and its already the correct way round in your hand for taking calls or typing.
Then compare that to the right-way-up pinch and pull. You probably have to swizzle the handset in your hand so its in the correct position to answer a call, which leaves more chance for droppage

Tried and tested
I used to drop my phone a fair bit until I realised what was happening, then I changed and no more dropping. But also, lens doesn't get touched either

it sounds quite useful, but what happens when you listen music with your phone like I do all the time? it's impossible is to keep the phone upside down because of the headphone jack

It's the opposite for me. Past phones moto x, gs3, gs4 I had to constantly clean the glass over the lens of camera. N5 is off to the side I rarely have to wipe it

Hi, we replaced a LCD screen for a LG G3 which had been cracked.
After replacement it starts up ok with the LG logo clearly shown across the whole screen (see pic 3), however after booting up the display then shows half a screen striped and the other half flickers or splits into multiple screens. (see pic 1 and 2) Touchscreen is responsive and works like it should. Only display is the problem.
The old LCD screen was tested and still displays almost normally but with the odd stripes throughout and obviously, being in a million pieces, the old touch screen was unresponsive.
Any ideas if this is a faulty screen we bought? as we are a bit confused at how it looks fine during boot up, or is it a problem with the other hardware? but would the old screen still display pretty well if that was the case?
Any ideas, suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Hi there,
I was searching to buy a new phone but without on-screen buttons. I use an app called Nocturnal to dim the screen and the buttons become very bright for me. It becomes very annoying for me to be at night with Nocturnal at full, and the buttons brighting as if it was 2pm outside.
For example, now I own a OnePlus 3T 6GB/128GB which has two buttons, each at one side of the finger sensor. I do really like it because even the buttons don't have backlights, so it's perfect for me.
Do you know about a newer phone better than what I have, that includes these characteristics? Hard question, maybe!
My eyes will thank you a lot!
