Brand New Nexus 5 Dead Pixel - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

Also two Nexus devices back to back with dead pixels. Bad luck or ****ty phones ?
Both my N4 and N5 were and are flawless.

I don't have that kind of issue. You need to change it immediately.

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.

LG G2 or Nexus 5

Why should i wait for the Nexus 5 when the G2 is out and has the same or better specs. I'm just getting tired of waiting i want a new phone this phone (as great as is it) was almost a mistake to get.

I guess if you don't care about the difference in price, ~$200 for an unlocked device.

As much as that would be a great reason since I have to wait for TELUS to get it anyways cause I can't afford to by it out it does not help me make a choice in this case other then it should still be cheaper.

It was a tough choice, but since the rumor that the N5 is getting a 3000MAh battery was getting debunked, I decided to go with the G2 a few days ago. I might get the N5 as a backup phone if it's announcement impresses me.
If I were to choose a N5 over the G2, it be for the pure google experience, even if i'd say LG's skin is decent.
The lg g2 got the WORST review of any android flagship phone.
It has been discovered that it has carrierID (evil).
We might (my speculation) see a Google edition g2 in the future, I'd get that over a n5 or a regular g2

Definitely N5 for me...Cheaper, decent specs and...Google exprience !
A Nexus device is better than skinned one, gonna get it as soon as I can and sell my Note 3.

Well I'm in the same situation as OP, my family is just got off contract with Sprint and we going prepaid trail. So i was sold on G2 before i heard that Nexus 5 is about to get released. So i decided to patiently wait for N5.
Why would i wait? Because I want to always have latest Android os as soon as it released. Because price is cheaper.

Knox is tripped by flashing a Rom or recovery. When u go back to stock the knox is still tripped and u can't change it back to normal. Samsung uses this as an excuse to void ur warranty.
It's some bs that makes me disappointed with Samsung because I wanted the phone for a while but if I can't flash a Rom and totally go back to stock for warranty then it ruins the fun

Oh I see. Well if its warranty reason then I can totally understand but as far as device vs device I really cannot see how the Nexus 5 can compete against the Note 3. My 2 cents.

Given that the Nexus 5 and LG G2 will be similar, is it reasonable to expect that the battery life on the Nexus 5 will be awesome too?
im still debating
I think at this point as long as the nexus 5 gets announced this week I am getting it. If we get no word from Google then I am done waiting.

Moto X vs N5

So I have a few days left to return my moto x and have some questions for you guys. How is battery? I've seen it take hits from different sites. I average about 3-31/2 hrs screen on time with my X. How is the camera? Any input is helpful. Thanks.

I love my nexus 5 ! I would not trade any phone even for the new s5 that's going to come out. The development is amazing and the devs are very knowledgeable. As for the battery I get about 3-4 hour screen time. I usually take it out it the charger around 7am and it lasts me till 10 pm with medium to heavy use. The camera is also good I believe there was a comparison between the Nexus 5 and the Samsung S4http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-6AszlQIIs. I have never owned a moto x so I really can't tell you if the camera is better.

Man, there are a ton of these Moto X vs. N5 threads, please search before posting next time. But if you want my opinion, I have both and I prefer the Moto X. I do love the N5, I just like the Moto X a little better. Check my posts in this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642626
I also have both, haven't touched my X since getting my N5. To each his own

I HAD both. Stuck with the clear winner, the Nexus 5 (for my usage) :thumbup:
Edit: would like to add that the X is a great device. I still tinker with one weekly (sister loves it!)

I want moto x but nexus 5 is better.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I have both in possession. Which is better?
The only thing that makes the X better is ergonomic design, the customization, always listening feature, Active display and the screen is better in most ways(IMO).
The nexus 5 wins in all the other departments, even the battery. If you do get an NX5 unlock the bootloader as soon as it's out of the box. Huge pay off

I meant to post this here in this thread
I don't have this phone yet, but I will be getting it in the mail Monday. I am coming from a Moto X, which is a great device. I love the phone overall. But two gripes I have is the development for the phone and the fact that it's "wannabe stock"
I want the N5 because of the ROM support. Its outstanding. I'm used to the Note 2, S4, HTC One, and when you have Roms on there, there's not a major difference. The AOSP Roms are always buggy. With the N5, your going to have a phone that was made to he tinkered with. Most apps that are made to replace something (lockscreens, launchers, etc) were made for fitting a stock android (N5) experience.
I am excited about this phone because its been a while since I've rooted a phone. Its an addiction that has been cured with VZWs S4 and HTC One, but The relapse is far more exciting then sticking with stuff almost out of the box

I used to flash a lot on my previous devices, but this phone is so awesome on stock rooted with Xposed, I haven't yet felt like trying any other roms.

Malware?

My phone is rooted, has CM11, and also have a badly cracked screen/digitizer. I'm debating if it's malware or just the digitizer. I've ran AVG and Malwarebytes and nothing shows up. Coming here to see what you guys think.
My phone keeps clicking random ****, so that's why I'm asking.
Malware can't crack your screen.

Don't have an extra phone, so getting it fixed where I'm located might be a better.

Sad day for my note 5

So after all the praise I gave my note 5 after tmobile sent me a new one, I found a dead pixel or cluster of pixels. I had them send me a new one that was very bad shape so they are sending me another one which should be here tomorrow this really sucks. I wouldn't have cared if I didn't see it and it was a nice little black spot on my right hand side of my screen. Ugh
