I have had the nexus 5 for about 6 months now, and i'm starting to notice a part of the glass coming off. The area around the volume buttons to the center of the screen makes a sticking sound when pushed down on, and i can feel it pushing in a little bit. It's most noticeable on the edge directly next to the volume buttons. There are no visible cracks as far as i can tell. Phone works fine besides this. Should I be worried and replace the screen or just let it be? I don't notice it if i don't push down too hard.
Never had this happen to me on a phone before. Thanks!
That definitely shouldn't be happening.

It's not very visible and pictures don't show the problem.
It feels like the glue in that area is just dried up in that area and isn't holding down the screen correctly. but its only a small area so right now its not too big of a deal.

Ask for google support, they will replace it. Mine was losing the back cover letters and google replaced it
Hi all. Wasn't sure if I should reply to this old thread or start my own...
I have a Nexus 5 that's over 2 years old. So no warranty. It looks like my screen is starting to come off in the bottom right corner. I think it's just the glass. Take a look at the attached pic/video and let me know what you think I could/should do. You can see I can move it by pressing on it.

It works fine otherwise. Touch/display etc seems all fine. I don't care about this problem if it stays as-is, but I'm worried it will get worse and come off further.
I'm thinking a bit of super glue would do? .
Thinking the sameā¦

Ranomly, my stylus won't "slide" into the slot smoothly. It gets half way in and then a lot of pressure is required to push it all the way down. I took the battery out and used a flash light to see any obstructions, but I can't see anything. Am I missing something?
I've just started having the same problem. The stylus gets very tight in it's slot, hard to push in, and even harder to pull out.
I would love to hear if anyone has found the cause of this.

Yeah, it's a real BEYOTCH to pull out. (that's what she said)
I figured out the cause of this when it happened to me a few weeks back.
Take a look at your stylus, you will notice that the plastic end cap can/has pulled(s) away very slightly from the metal base. This, less than a millimeter change, causes it to get caught on the stylus sensor within the holster.
Solution :
Try your backup stylus and see if that slides in fine. That is what worked for me.
No amount of playing with the sensor seemed to fix it.
This happened to me my first week of having the Raphael. It was due to some build up of plastic, or bent plastic at the end of the slot. To fix it I took my stylus and kind of rotated it pushing it outwards along the sides of the stylus slot.

Humm, none of this is working for me. I'm going to try my other stylus, but I'm not sure. I took a bright flashlight and shined it down in the slot and I can't see anything stopping the sytlus from going in smoothly.
there might be the switch for the stylus come out.

maybe that will help?
Yeah, my stylus is getting stuck too within the first week of getting it. I can see where the sensor is supposed to come out, but it doesn't look like there is anything there, so why would it still be getting stuck?
I want to get this phone, but I've been hearing of uneven screens on the net. People have been saying the bottom of their screens are popping up. has this happened to anyone?

Is the fact that you can see the light from the bottom of the screen mean that the screen is uneven?

some people have this issue but im not sure if its as severe as in the image...
but mine seems to have a perfect screen
I think I'm having this issue.. where have you read about this?
I'm not sure about this problem, but I noticed that mostly users with Desire S from Asia have the screen popping issue. UK Desires seem to be fine.
From Asia here but no problem with the screen. I think it's random.
No screen mounting issues here on german Desire S.
On the picture it's a reflection on the metal edge.
Hi my first post on XDA but have been skulking about.
I'm in the UK and have had my DS 3 full days perfect no floors and set up with current OS and skinned.
Though day 4 bottom corners lifting by Home and Search keys and also have the smallest gap between unibody and screen near Volume rocker and touch keys, the gap is enough to see back light coming through in the dark/dusk.
Hope this helps i have a new replacement coming first thing tomorrow will report on that with any news.
Ok so brand new replacement handset and i still have these issues the bottom right corner is already showing that it's raised in comparison to the bottom left corner and there is still a visible gap on the left of the screen can see the charge port through this and light still shining through in the right light.
Looks like bad quality control from HTC will be contacting orange in a mo as i'm still in my cooling off period. I am really disappointed Android OS is great for the customisation but this handset seem's to have been rushed in the build quality.
Hope this helps.
I have a friend with this issue.Mine it's ok.
Greece.
Duplicate post sorry.

It simply fits.
Not bad but I cannot stand the hole in the left hand corner!

We call this style the DiamondFlex at TPU-Cases, others simply call it the Diamond Pattern. This look amazing on the phone. We didnt make this style for the G2x, but have made them for numerous other phones. I've never seen a TPU case designed like the one you posted, I'm surprised its able to hold its shape with such a large cutout in the corner. I personally would of done 2 holes in that corner instead of 1. Although we ended up just using 1 hole for the power button since only the Korean model has that corner port anyways.

Yes, this hex pattern looks pretty good. This is a reason why I went for this. Moreover, it simply fits 100%. It's pretty easy to put on but it's not loose at all.
I can live with this "TV antenna" cutout though.
Wondering how this compares: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050ISVW6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A2HOCXU5SC35JO Obviously this one is solid black, and it doesn't appear to have an antenna cutout.
I just ordered one anyway, hopefully it will work for me.
I know this seems like a pretty small thing to be concerned about, but I just wanted to ask if anyone else has this issue or if they have resolved it. The front camera on my nexus 5 is not aligned properly when looking at the lens through the opening in the glass.

It doesn't affect pictures taken with the camera but it is off centered so much the lens is almost partially hidden and it is very noticeable. At first I thought I could live with it but I had some free time and just for fun decided to open it up and see if I could move the camera at all and I found that the whole board/bracket that the camera mounts to is out of alignment and am now wondering if that is something to worry about.
I also have a slightly loose power button and wonder if maybe the board being out of alignment could be the cause of that as well. Other than the power button and the front camera I have not noticed any other ill effects. Anyone else have this issue or input?

Ocd?
Your ocd is freaking you out? Maybe you should send it back to Google to fix that but it's a waste of time, and about the power button I have the same problem and you can solve it putting a little piece of paper between the button and the eboard
I'm definitely not feeling that worried about it. Like I said, everything seems to be working fine and I only bothered to open it up because I was bored and I thought it would be a fun project. I was mostly just surprised to see that the whole board inside the phone was out of alignment and not just the camera and was curious as to whether or not this was common. I did end up wedging some paper in between the power button and it seems to have alleviated that problem. As for the camera, it's a shame it doesn't seem I can fix it but I don't think it will really bother me.
As title says, the backlight started shining through on my U11+.

It happend today, i was on my phone. i put i down to go get something to eat and when i came back the bleed came. it's around the entire screen.
i haven't contacted HTC yet because i wanted to ask you guys and get your opinions first.
i haven't dropped it, i haven't thrown it after somebody. i've been looking after it.
Sorry for the unacceptable quality on the picture, it's taken with my work phone.
That's not good. RMA it if you can.
Did you get yours repaired? My u11 plus just did the same thing today. I am wondering if too much squeezing the edge sense warpped the screen.

It happened to me too: I was watching a film, checked phone and it presented the same symptom, but in always on display. Rebooted and same problem. After a little time (just 10 minutes or down there).
I am using edge function and it is no longer happened .

I think the last time it happened to me was in January.
It's a bit bizzar that it comes and goes like that, I still haven't figured it out what's causing it.
But it doesn't seem to be a problem any more so I'm not worried.
