Hello to all,
I recently bought a nexus 5 device d820 and I love everything on it except the display. As you can see in the pictures that i uploaded, the left top corner of the display is "more white". The pictures were taken in straight view and not in angle view. In reality this whiteness is more visible.
Does anyone have this problem?
I contacted Google but because i bought D820 model and live in Europe (no Google store in my country ) they can't do RMA in a Europe play store and i should return the device to US. But i will pay for a lot taxes i think.
Do you think this is an easy fix? And I mean without replacing the whole display
Thanks for every answer!

well i should say now that there is no fix to that so ur best option is to keep it or rma it
This is the problem when buying online, you can not check and test it before buying it. I was lucky to be able to just walk in to a store and buy one myself.

Yours seems excessive and most people would RMA. Light is escaping from around the edges or bezel of your screen. It's possible that reassembling the phone could alter it but I think the screen would need to fully replaced.
SHOULD'T LGE in my country fix this problem under warranty???

I am in the same dilemma. Extended 3500ma batteries and covers for P900/999 are available on eBay for around 11-15, so I am going to go that way I guess.
Hard to believe the regular covers are so scarce.

Aren't the dimensions of the p990 slightly different than the p999?

If you think $31 is bad.
I just called up LG (Or the independent company that takes care of all the LG spare parts in Australia). They wanted 45AUD
There is no way im paying $45 for a piece of plastic with the word google on it.
Hey all
For those that have managed to get a battery door from T-mobile: How much did it cost?
I've read that many have managed to get them for free. Would anyone be willing to get one for me and ship to Aus?
I'll cover shipping and will even add some cash on top for your troubles (provided it doesn't cost more than $45!)
Thanks

Hey,
Thanks for the reply.
Did you have any luck with this?
Thanks
I finally recieved the email from the company that had them on backorder. Not only have they clarified that these are only for wholesale customers, but the price went up to $30. from about $12.
I've got two now, so don't need one anymore. Just a heads up.

I sort of struck out, they told me to go to a service center for a swap and to bring my "broken" door. Mines not broken so...
I will go to the service center when I'm in the area however and see what I can do.

Hey man, much appreciated. However, if it becomes too much of a hassle just don't worry about it. Will probably end up buying an extended battery.
Thanks all.
Hello, I have a N5 which magically flew and struck a brick edge of a platform, so I got the front glass shattered. Now the display and touch screen is fine, any ideas how much it'll take to fix this? I live in NCR area, India so if anyone knows any local place that'll be great. Also if I were to sell this (the screen is badly shattered), how much can I get out of it?
If you are handy you should be able to buy a replacement screen for between $75USD-$125USD. If you are not up to replacing the screen yourself I would imagine you would be lucky to get 25% of the cost of the phone back. However, how much you can sell it for all depends on who is looking for a broke nexus 5 and what they are willing to pay.
Exactly 7800. And if You want to sell it, then 20,000. Try erodov.com or techenclave.com Also depends if u bought it from India or not.

I'm going to buy a N5 soon from someone, since all the retailers are either out of stock or very overpriced. Although I have bought other phones from him, I like to be super-safe.
So, are there any issues specific to the N5 that I should check for before I buy it? How do I check the life-timer? Can that timer be reset w/o unlocking the bootloader?
What's a life timer?

Not sure newer devices have them, or I have just not noticed/found it. Check the usual stuff, sensors, buttons, physical state, charge port etc. Tbh should be OK if you have bought from the same guy previously.
EDIT: Check the screen colours, some people report yellowish tint's - I haven't experienced it though.

That's going to be a problem. I'm partially colorblind and I have issues with yellow/red. On the upside, it's not going to bother me, even if it's there xD

Well as soon as you reboot your phone it starts back at zero... I wouldn't use that as a reason to buy or not to buy a phone.

Some phones have a separate counter for the whole life-timer.

Can't you get a new one from Google, or, a used one on Swappa? Either would be infinitely better than buying one from some guy.

Neither of those services are available in my country.
Hello,
1. Make sure the device isn't cracked, scratched.
2. Check for Loose buttons.
3. Check whether the GPS is getting locked or not.
4. Make sure there is no bleeding on the screen
5. Ask for the original receipt/bill and see whether the phone has warranty in your country or not.
By taking a look at the bill date you can get to know the date of purchase and can get a rough idea about the life timer or whatever it's called.
If you have all the above points covered, I guess you are good to go!?
Also, make a phone call with it to make sure the other party can hear you ( very important )
Hi I was just wondering can anyone post a contact email relevant for this issue from either/both lg or google?

Are you from the US? If yes have a look in the general forum, there's a thread that you might like... It seems as though n5s from the us playstore with cracked screens get them repaired for free.

It's surprisingly cheap (at least in the US)
If you didn't damage the LCD you could probably repair it with maybe 10-20 USD.

They're glued together so you can't just replace the glass. I don't even know why they bother selling that, just to trick people who think that's all they need I guess.
To self-repair any cracked screen you need the glass+LCD+digitizer and preferably +frame as well which costs about $120-$150.
Can anyone tell me if this is a defect or something that I may have done to the phone? Just popped up put of nowhere. ?
We can't tell from a screen shot.

Will do. I signed up for Premium care, gonna grab lunch then to the best buy premium care center. I'll report back. ?
I reported back to the wrong thread out of frustration. Here's my report :
Reporting back after trying to redeem my replacement device through Samsung Premium care. Well they sent me to t-mobile and tmo processed an order immediately. Although I did have to give them a credit for the new device , charge will be reversed once they receive the defective phone. Samsung Premium care is not ready for a subscription based platform. I was informed its a 3rd party company handling things. Not sure they are in concert as of yet. Paid beta program.
