Replaced Screen issues - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I bought a replacement screen and it acts weird. It work only for a minute but then glitches like crazy then black screen. Did I do something wrong ? Pretty sure I didn't and every time I boot it looks like this.

Screen problem ignorance

It is pretty crazy how people who have the skyrocket ignore that the screen looks awful when dim. Its even worse that Samsung has not stopped production to fix the problem either. You would think the white one would come with a fixed screen. Usually by this time you have people writing reviews and ranting about phone defects on YouTube, yet with this phone nothing. Just hoping someone agrees with me and maybe we can stick these problem up samsungs behind.

Dont think anyone cares that much
Why use the screen dimmed? Kinda defeats the purpose of having a super amoled

Agreed.
I have mine set at 50% and its bright enough for me all the time.
I never go lower than that though, so I personally never experience poor screen quality.

I've never notice the problems mentioned throughout the forum regarding dim settings and colors/lines. I'm sure that to a good eye mine is too afflicted.
One a side note, took my screen protector off today, and man! is that screen gorgeous. It's gonna be hard to put it back on, but I learned that lesson with the Atrix when I took it's protection off and it hit the ground.
You see, and that is the problem. You are ignoring to issue. So when your in a dark room you have your screen full brightness? I don't so it does bother me.

I agree my screen sucks at low brightness. I mainly run my low to save power only turn it up when outside. I wrote a review on Samsung site and did give a bad review on the screen.

I just picked up a white skyrocket yesterday and I've got the screen issues / lines. Looks like a "brushed metal" overlay on top of everything.
I'm going to be getting it exchanged for a new one tomorrow.

Maybe I got lucky... I've had my I727-SR for about 4wks now and haven't experienced the screen lines / screen problems others are posting.... I consistently run at low brightness with a screen protector and screen looks perfect.... no lines, blobs or other anomalies.

Mine has it. So does the white one I looked at. It bothers me and I notice it often. But its the only phone on AT&T that I want and LTE just went live a week ago. I will sadly have to live with it :-(

I feel bad for anyone having screen problems, but as I type this, I turned the brightness almost all the way down... No problems at all!

Planning on taking pics to compare to those of the black unit that I posted earlier this week.

SMH ! Get over it! A few slightly lines which is only visible when phone is up your nose an on a dark grey background on 0% brightness, is the end of the world run!!!

My screen is great. No lines or any of that kind of stuff.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
just picked one up today. white one.
i see the lines below 50% brightness. above, they are gone.
I believe this is just a simple issue of having the same pixel density of the galaxy S2 but with a larger screen.
this should be device wide.......i dont see why people should have different results....
edit: i have it only above 30% brightness actually....
No problems here... at 0 it still looks great, no lines or weird issues

I have personally seen this vary from device to device. what may not be that bad on yours could be 20x's worse on another. others of us are in fact picky and expect more for what we paid for this device.
To each their own

playing video
When I play video ie Netflix YouTube etc I notice that the picture quality is not.what I expect.from a 250$ phone. I love this phone and that is.my only complaint. I have tried.adjusting.the brightness but it doesn't seem to help. Is this a problem that all are having?
I just got the Skyrocket today and just now turned the brightness all the way down and did not see any issues with screen clarity. Looks pretty good to me.
Infused with Android DNA
Mine has the same issues. However, they are ignorable if you customize the look of your phone. I changed the screen density and customized my phone with a dark bg and modified system apks.
HTC = Hate The Consumer

Opening the Camera changes my brightness, is this normal?

I haven't experienced this in my past Android devices so it's kind of odd.

Pretty sure it's a Sense thing - I imagine the idea is to make sure the viewfinder is as bright as possible.
I haven't noticed it in AOKP, and I've kinda missed it.
But it goes back to original settings shortly after closing it

Home button smashed in?

So my phone wasnt locked into its holster and slipped out :crying:
I checked it and there was no cosmetic damage and the screen wasnt cracked or anything but I think my home button got smashed in a little bit
its almost seemless with the rest of the phone...anyone else like this or is this just how the phone is?
1st pic - side
2nd pic - top
3rd pic - bottom
Looks normal to me.....

ok just making sure because I saw another pic and it looked like the home button was out more
yeah, mines pretty flush also. Looks ok to me. Ive never dropped mine
Yea my PB is just about flush but my wife's white one is raised some. Probably just a manufacturer flaw in them
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yeah my pebble blue home button sits flush as well and I was worried about this too when I saw a white demo unit with a slightly raised one. Not a big deal, but I wouldn't mind it sitting a little higher.

it's not about cleaning the screen.
Something internal is causing it.
Simple lock and unlock end the madness of the screen.

No, its because sometimes there is dirt and oil accumulated on the screen as they may be charged substances they conflict with the capacitive touch screen as the capacitive screen senses a finger wherever there is that charge so cleaning the screen fixes it !

That's because of a cheap charger, don't use chargers other than HTC one , for me LG charger is also fine but other chargers like cheap Chinese ones even with same output makes screen wild

No it's not the case you are saying about. It happens to me also and only when my net connection is on.
Removing dust particles/cleaning doesn't help.
And exactly the point of wildness is in the top right side.

[Q] screen is shaking/vibrating

My screen is shaking or vibrating just a little. If I go to the stock recovery and look at the highlightet text I can see that the text is vibrating. Am I the only one? It is barely noticable during a booted up system, but it is anoying.
Do you have a solid screen in stock recovery?
Yes

Yes wobbling, but just a little. You only see it when you stare at the higlighted text in recovery, but just the highlighted.

Probably my eyes is tricking me or I was not aware of this wobbling thing for 3 years, because now I see wobbling my optimus 2x's screen.

Try showing it to someone else without saying anything, you might only perceive it to be "shaking" because you believe it is there and are looking for it.
