[Q] Nexus 5 creaking gap around Camara lens! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

How do you clean the screen edges on the Nexus S?

Hi guys, I have been getting some dust stuck in the crevice between the edge of the screen and the casing of the phone. It's quite a narrow space and I was wondering if you have any advice on how to get the dust out?
Thanks!

Get a regular white printing paper and stick it in between the edges. It works (yes, I'm not kidding!)

A thin toothpick is what I use.
The paper idea is good, but I've used an old toothbrush whenever necessary. Works well.

I do the paper idea as well LOL but I fold it first then use the folded side to run along the edges. That way the dirt gets in the pocket. X)

Thanks guys, I decided to try the printer paper method. Everything was going well until the edge of the piece of paper I was using broke off and got jammed in the space. Looks like I'll need to find the smallest needle I can get to get it out.

Bumper Defect?

I had my bumper off my phone while I was having ghost armor installed on it, the bumper was in my pocket and I tend to be one of those people who fiddles with things in their pocket while they wait.
I was just pushing on it lightly, when I realized that the hard plastic easily came apart from the rubber. I thought maybe I just pushed too hard, but when I started inspecting it around the sides, I realized that there were many spots where it would happen with very little force.
Is this supposed to happen or is it some sort of defect in my bumper?

I don't think it's meant to be separable but you might want to email Google support. They can probably answer this question better than XDA members imo.

That was the first thing I did. Just thought I'd ask if anyone else had this happen as well.
Judging from this bumper unboxing/review... it's supposed to be like that

Most bumpers are 2 parts
Mine does the same thing around some areas of the bumper.

EDIT: I don't think it can come all the way apart, there is glue holding parts of the bumper.
My bumper is the same...its perfectly normal.

When I saw that I asked him right away if he dropped it or if his pockets were tight. He responded no to both. I've never seen him drop it, in fact the phone is still flawless. Nevertheless, the ended up shipping out a new phone. AT&T has really good CS. I'll let you know when the phone gets here. Oh yea, almost forgot, his screen is turning yellow now too.

Hey guys. Heres another update of the screen. When he woke up this morning he went to check his phone and found this. It got even worse. Whatever. We should be seeing a new one in 4 to 6 business days. Just a lil update.

Wow that's ****ty. Glad they are replacing it. I would of made a huge stink if they tried saying that was due to wear and tear.

Yea after seeing the updated photo there's no doubt that was caused by pressure. Sat on old phone before by accident and the screen did the EXACT same thing.
I wouldn't say this is a screen issue, just a damaged phone by accident :*(
Hopefully cs doesnt consider that physical damage and charge full retail price after they get it..

Screen Lift

I just got a refurbished tf700 and noticed the screen lifting along the longer edges. I have another Asus tablet that is fine so didn't expect this l, even though I've read it isn't uncommon. I have the opportunity to get a replacement, though there is no guarantee it'll be any better. Just wondering if there is a fix for the lift if needed. Tablet is good otherwise.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
My new TF700 wasn't any better after a return for unrelated reasons. I had some screen lifting but it wasn't severe enough for me to return the tablet but other things were going on. I just figured that would be resolved when I got a new tablet. Turns out the new one had minor screen lift, just in different places. I guess that is what I have to deal with since I've had two perfect nexus 7's
Sent from my Optimus G using xda app-developers app
I haven't heard of any crazy issues with excessive screen lifting -- but be sure to check again just to be sure! Several users have reported re-fixing the glue by VERY gentle heating (going slow is key here!) with a hair dryer.
Thanks. Making me wonder if I should just keep the one I have then. It isn't super noticeable, but I clearly see it since I use it most. My nexus 7 is perfect and I use that just about every day for the past 5 months.

Meh, mine does sometimes, but I do not have the feeling that is a quality issue. Also, in my case at least, the screen lifting is not that bad.
My lift is just at edges so touching the screen has no impact, yet. It looks like they pried it apart to do the refurb and maybe didn't seal it back properly
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Even mine occasionally clicks, so does my sgs3. It's normal, there's space between the different components. It's not a vacuum
As for the screen lift, no, dont have that. Mine's European, by now we've established that the quality demands for the EU are higher. Best Buy units tend to have those issues, though.

My tf300 is also from the EU: not really any problems except clicking and sometimes ghost touches

I'd like to thank you instead! This is XDA, no one forces anyone to do anything on here. The OP of this post made his own choice of opening up his phone and drilling the holes.
Many people have done the same mod and no one else is facing the same problem. It could well be the OP drilled a little bit too hard which makes sense considering the screen is showing signs of damage.
OP: I was looking for spare speaker parts myself but have not seen any yet ( UK ).
Can you take a picture of the damage?

Does the damage coincide with where you put the holes? For example where the bluish marks are on the screen?

no, from what I'm seeing it looks like there may be something under the back cover which is causing pressure on the display. that does not look like light separation.
Take it back apart and see what you see.

This is what you should have started this thread with. You already know what caused the issue, and you're trying to get a free replacement on the phone by using Fraud.
I realize this is going to come across as offensive, but you were dumb enough to sit on your phone and now you're dumb enough to try to get XDA to help you attempt fraud against Google so you don't have to pay the money to get it fixed. Read the forum rules about illegal activity.

It's probably only visible on a dark screen because those are the areas where the actual display are under stress from the phone being bent. It won't necessarily make it BRIGHTER.... just more easily noticed. Kind of like if you touch your computer monitor. touch the screen where it's lighter, and you don't really notice much of anything. touch where it's darker, and you'll more easily see the distortion.
