LED shining through the bottom? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have a red nexus 5.
When the notification led blinks, it shines through a portion of the red plastic near the led.
Does this happen to anyone else or just the red n5s?
edit: Forgot to mention it's most noticeable when the room is dim/dark.

I have a black one and there is no light leakage anywhere.

I don't have an easy way to take a picture atm. Think of it like this, when the led blinks, it shines through a portion of the plastic band around the notification led area.
So, a part of the plastic band right above the mini usb connector lights up.

Oh okay my nexus 5 does that as well

I don't have this issue either.
Yes i have seen it.
You need to hold it in direct sunlight and at a slight angle. Dont have a clue what it is though.

That sounds like the sensor points (or whatever they're called) for the touchscreen digitizer.
That would make sense.. it never bothers me as you only see it in direct sunlight and at a stupid angle.
I have never seen it during normal use even in bright light.

Yes that is exactly what I was talking about. The sensors make sense actually, never thought of that. Doesn't bother me either, was just wondering if it was only my screen.
Thanks guys!

haha this is the first time I've ever seen it. At first I thought I was seeing things because everyone else I showed the phone to couldn't see anything
Thats the proximity sensor and the light sensor. Cover the sensor with your finger, Screen brightness will change if you have auto brightness enabled.

Reflection under glass

Not the oval thing on the top beside the logo, on the actual capacitive screen itself.
I think the dots are just used for the capacitive screen to work. Also, I've noticed that connecting the dots on each line is a horizontal line on each row. I only saw this when putting it next to my lamp thou.

Yes I saw those lines as well! Had to hold it up to a very bright light lol
At the right angle, the reflection from the sun will shot the dots. It's the digitizer, and it looks cool to me. =D

Purplish Display?

I have a Note 2 and a Nexus 5. When I first turned on my N5 I noticed something was up with the display (not the camera). Then when I put it side by side with my note 2 it was obvious that the N5 has a bad purple tint to the white screens.
My nexus 5 has a warm display, but not purplish. The whites have a slight reddish hue.
Mine is massively too warm, whites are yellow

Same here. Would like normal colors again.

Well thats good that the displays seem to at least be consistently off. Should be easier to rectify. Either way the display still looks gorgeous even though the colors are off a bit. Will look stunning once someone gets a kernel out there that allows us to properly calibrate the colors.
Mine is really brownish warm too with backlight bleeding in the corners. I'll take a picture next to my Nexus 4 when I get home.
In the meantime, could someone take a side by side picture of their Nexus 4/5 using a white background?
Thanks.

Capacitive Button Light Shadows on top and bottom of it

Does anyone else have this?
Its the topaz blue S6.
Its really annoying as it kind of suggests your eyes that the lit button is blurry/unsharp ... really unpleasant to look at.

Gold version also has this effect.
Get a front dbrand skin for about $8 from their site!
Does your phone have it, or does every phone in the colors gold and blue topaz have it? The back light color is also not complete white but more beige /dirty white. A little strange because my S2 had a pure white led.

All golds I've seen are like that. I personally like it. The led colour is the same for all. Maybe it's more power efficient.

Mine looks like that as well, always has. I think the problem occurs because it tries to create a white light using the RGB Leds present within it and the balance between the colours isn't quite right.

Yes it is like this, nothing wrong with your led.

Shadows on display

Guys but also you at the bottom of the display you see black halos?
I means like shadows where there is the back button, and down bar.Where the black stripe stops.
On watssapp, facebook, messenger and chrome this shadow it looks better, on white backgrounds.
I hope to be paranoid, but to all of whom I asked said yes, it can be seen :crying:
Thank you
I think you're seeing the LEDs from an LED edge lit display. The same issue that causes a "yellow" tint. The backlights diffusers aren't perfect.

Not all, only on the bottom and the color it's grey, like vertical strips.

I know what you're describing. I've seen it on one. I'm just telling you what I think is causing it.
