Are yours any brighter? I truly think not! This was my main reason for trying to get this update ASAP but I am very disappointed that they didn't make them any brighter.

for me it's the same thing
and unfortunately i don't think they can do something coz it's a hardware issue
Are by any chance on the stock kernel 30O?

My friend got his yesterday and came by my house for me to root it etc, i had already updated to 4.4.4 (the second ota aswell) and his capacitive buttons were actually brighter than mine (he was 4.4.2 and i was 4.4.4).
That said, no, they did not get brighter.
While I agree they don't appear any brighter, its really a non issue for me. After a few days of using the phone, I already know where the buttons are.
No one cares... Although I agree I notice no difference
Obviously people care if they are posting in this thread. Have a good day

Wuddup Freshly? I haven't seen you since back in the day on the Cyanogenmod MT3G forums.
Anyways, I think the problem he is referring to is when you go to hang up, the screen just stays black (g-sensor not working correctly) instead of the screen lighting up to hit end. I've seen the screen light up but not respond when taking the phone away from your ear also. Let's hope these bugs get taken care of very soon with an OTA, along with many others.
An unlocked BL would be better so I can fix these little problems myself but I'm not holding my breath to receive it soon.

Hello,
Today I received the replacement for my N5 since it was affected by rattling side buttons. The problem is that the new one has got this damn yellow tint, it looks horrble!
Does anyone know if this is covered by warranty?

no. the yellow tint is googles opinion of how the screen should be. its only software. install a custom kernel that support gamma control then change your screen tone.

Franco used to but stopped at about r14, now phantom gamers? is continuing to add the color tweak to each of francos latest builds as an experimental option..

Anyway can you link me a full guide to rooting and custom kernel for N5?

Hi there,
Recently i've updated my Nexus 5 to Android 4.4.3. (from stock 4.4.2 rooted)
Every time after updating to 4.4.3 my camera sound is horrible (like it's recording underwater).
I've used zip files (after wiping) to flash without any succes.
When i used my backup of 4.4.2 the problem was gone again. So the hardware isn't broken or anything.
Now i've sideloaded the official factory image (4.4.3) after a full wipe and still the problem exists.
How is this even possible? Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for helping in advance
PS: i've contacted Google but their e-mail in bad translation didn't help me. They told me to do a factory reset lol

Thanks for your reply man! I really thought i screwed up my phone somehow without knowing it.
Do you know by any chance if there is a way to fix this? This topic was hard to google/search since I only got stuff about the previous camera bug. Or maybe my "tech English" isn't sufficient.
The issue is ongoing. We thought 4.4.3 was going to fix it but evidently not. There are no other real fixes

I never had this issue on previous android versions and I've had my Nexus shortly after the release. I honestly think this is a new bug but I could be wrong.
If there are no fixes I need a new phone or my money back.

The noise cancellation bug has been around since day 1, when I got my N5. Not everyone notices because it acts differently depending on the environment the videos are recording in. It also effects calls.
There's no fix right now. Try and get your money back if you like.

Yes, this is new bug, no discussion. I've made more than thousand vids with my N5 so I'm familiar with "old" sound bug, but this new one wich came with 4.4.3 is much worse than issue from previous one and make my Nexus completly useless as camera.. It sounds like underwater.

It's the same bug alright. I have no doubt. Perhaps it sounds different to you on your phone because they made it worse.
I can say with a strong degree of certainty that it is the same bug though, because the "old" bug you refer to was due to a poor noise cancellation issue. This bug went away for me when I fitted a slickwraps skin that covers my noise cancellation mic. ...and after upgrading to 4.4.3, I still don't have any issues whilst that secondary microphone is covered. My videos are as expected.

It's much worse that it was.. As I said, my Nexus is now useless as digital camera.. Or it was useless, because I've flashed 4.4.2 again.

So this bug is there since the beginning? How is it possible that multiple users experience the same problem after updating to 4.4.3?
I think it's a similar bug, but new.
Going to flash 4.4.2 again cause I need my camera.
I've sent another email to Google. I'll put the reply here.
Thanks for all the replies everyone! Hope someone finds a solution.

But how come it wasn't there on my 4.4.2 or as you described it, wasn't hearable?
I am a music producer. I always use my phone to film my latest creations to send them to friends via whatsapp. Never had any issues. First was good, now it's absolutely useless. I film exactly from the same spot in my studio. There should be a way around to get the sound back from 4.4.2 right? Some custom rom or whatever?
Thanks for all your answers man!
The display stopped working 2-3 days ago. On booting i can see the google logo for 2-3 seconds before the screen goes dark. The phone works and i can hear dings of messages, but i cant access any of it. Once i kept shut it for a day i was able to see the screen for 10-15 seconds( i used this window to remove the screen lock so that i can use the usb transfer ). Now keeping the phone shut for long duration has no effect.
I can see the fastboot screen but not the recovery screen throught it.
I also bought a slimport so that i could see the screen on my pc. It works (not for the fastboot or recovery), however the touch doesn't work and the volume and power buttons response is too sluggish. I can connect the mouse but it is of no use as i can't see the screen on PC and use the mouse at the same time. I tried adb ( i have no experience of it ) but i cant touch the allow pernmissions key on the screen for the above reasons. Also what advantage would adb be in this case?.
Any advice ?

Oh, you mean sending it to LG for servicing? I am a bit hesitant since i have cyanogenmod and also am in india and i doubt they will give a replacement. I think going back to stock rom and then sending it for repairs might help but i have no idea how to go about doing that in this situation.

I don't know yet, I'm just trying to figure out whether it's a particular batch that started failing or it's completely random, just curious. The two replacements I was sent were 403K. Build is perfect, but they both had some light bleed issues. Looks like every batch comes with some good and some bad, QC definitely hasn't been too great on this phone.

They're not really built in batches. Manufacturing was continuous. They just changed the serial number every time the month changes so I dont think this would actually mean anything
I know but I'd still use it as a milestone more than anything, I mean there have been some differences in the units (eg bigger speaker holes), this way it's easier to track them along the timeline, because they definitely do change something in the manufacturing process from time to time if they have to make up for issues or something. They also did it with the N4 if I remember well.

Speaker holes is a bad example because even the latest built devices it was still a lottery whether you got bigger or smaller holes. That's down to what you mentioned earlier, QC

I was able to unroot and flash the stock image. The problem still exists though, so it has to be a hardware issue. Fortunately the phone is still in warranty.
Thanks for all the support.
I had to get a replacement phone because the volume button stopped working.
I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that the display on this new one is very washed out and had a pinkish tint to it... I don't know, it just doesn't look right.
Does anyone else have this issue, or is it all in my head? I am a picky person
UPDATE: I just called Verizon for a replacement with no problems. Hopefully this new one has a fresh screen.
