[Q] black Nexus 5 with white batterydoor - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have a nexus 5 in black and want to change my batterydoor in a white one.
I want to have a non-glossy white nexus 5
Did anyone do this before?
Are there any problems?
Where should i buy a white batterydoor?
Greetz

I've seen backcovers on ebay for nex 5, try searching there, costs around $30 I guess.

That is ridiculous. You just gave the guy an answer to a legitimate question without hassling him first. What is this world coming too.:good:

White Bumper in stock In certain Canadian carriers

I've personally seen and used the bumper at a Canadian Videotron carrier.
It's practically the same as the old one, except it is a bit more flexible. It was much easier to get onto the phone. Check your local stores, they may have it in stock. :good:
It costs 19.99$ CAD
It's nice but it will probably turn yellow

Awesome.
If you're not in Quebec or anywhere in Canada you can PM me for a white genuine bumper.
only nice if and when the white nexus 4 comes out

These are all oem. Had a rep open them up for me. Couldn't take pics of them on my phone because, well, phone was my camera
Also the store was pretty packed, rendering it hard to to take good pics.

Brand New Nexus 5 Dead Pixel

So I just bought a brand new Nexus 5 from T-Mobile and I have yet to dropped it, but I already have dead pixels on my screen. Does anyone else have this problem?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Nope, and if my phone had had dead pixels when I bought it then I would've immediately sent it back. It's one of those faults that you can't forget about or 'unsee' once you've noticed it.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I don't have that issue but I think you should get it replaced right away.
I had this on my N4. And I just checked and I have it on my N5 too. Ridiculous. I'd recommend you get it replaced mate.

Both my N4 and N5 were and are flawless.

My first one had a dead pixel or two. Super small but still annoying nonetheless. I got myself a replacement and all is good now in Nexus 5 land. A number of people seemed to have had this problem.. On a side note the way the black dots looked like they may have been dust under the screen instead of a dead pixel. Either way, I'd swap it out for a new one.

I am now using my fifth Nexus 5, three of the previous ones had a dead pixel. The other one had dust under the front layer of the screen...
I also have dead pixels, but actually I rarely see them.

I have a day one N5. Not one problem (that wasn't because of KK bugs).
All of this worry would be better redirected to deciding what ROM you're going to put on it. And oh man, what kernel should you use?
I know it's personal preference, but I never understood the color thing. Just don't get it. To each their own, I guess.

No, it's just OP'sluck that he got one with small speaker holes. The 312, 401, 402 aren't revisions. In fact they are the month in which the device was manufactured/packed.
Yes, there was no revision. I have a brand new red one and a 311 white one and there are no differences. Besides color of course Lol
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
The larger speaker holes were for the black one specifically. They probably fixed the glue issue and figured they didn't need the larger speaker holes after a short while. Therefore the red and white ones don't have it. Maybe even the newer black ones don't have them anymore. Never know.
Guys, there are no "revisions" or batches. Devices are produced constantly on a line, where device 9999 may be revision 310 the one after it can be 311. Also no device can be exactly same as the other, thats why some have bigger holes, some have smaller.

Yea I understand. But you would assume all red would have the updated holes since they were made after the change. So now I'm just curious.

There are no "updated holes". Some have big ones. Some have little ones. Its not a conscious decision. Just different machines calibrated differently etc, hence the term "manufacturing tolerances"

That's because they aren't updated holes, just variances in the manufacturing process. Exactly why RootSU said tolerances.

Hey guys I crashed my car. Is there any way I can trade it for free for a Porsche ?
The way he's explaining it is that he wants something for free illegally/morally wrong (trade it online claiming its perfect to scam someone )

if you look around very hard, do some investigation, spend some time with it, you might possibly find a way to do it. ive seen things a lot less possible to happen, actually happen.

Too late for this phone, but mobile phone insurance might be a good idea for the next one
The only way I can think to get a new one for free or nearly free is to get one on a subsidised contract, but then you'll be paying it off over 12, 18 or 24 months.
