Does anyone have issues with black screen area getting pixelated? This "black clipping/crushing" issue was huge deal with Note 1(2?) and now I'm seeing on Note 5. It's not as bad as before but it still exists.
Try playing Iron Man 2 the roof scene where Tony kisses Pepper or movie Giver where everything is black and grey.
Do I have defective screen or something?
I have attached image of the screen & gammatest image. It's little hard to tell from whole screen due to camera focus but when I took macro shot of the screen, you can see pixelated blacks on the left and some on Iron Man armor. Trust me it looks worse on screen than picture.
Please download the image and view it on your Note 5 with max brightness, does your screen gamma look alike mine?
Please let me know, thank you

I just checked T-mobile store displayed Note 5 and it has same gamma setup and shows pixelation/black clipping issue. When viewing gamma test image, mine from 0-2 is pitch black and 3-10 is little lighter and 11-21 is lighter with same gradient
Also tested on S6 and S6 is set correctly with 0-21 gradually getting dark to light with no pixelated black screen...

I think he meant "how exactly do you test the device" lol.
Oh haha... download the 2nd image I have attached and view it in gallery with Max brightness. If your screen is displaying gradual shade from 0-21 than its good but if it's anything like mine then you are going to have black clipping issue...
This problem seems to exist on many note 5 out there but there are good ones out there I think. I just don't get why not all screens are calibrated the same....
So anyone else having issue like mine?

Download the second image I have attached and open it in gallery, make sure to put brightness to max. If it's showing nice gradual gradient you won't suffer black clipping issue.

Mine is 0-2 black 3-10 I can see differences in brightness as well as 11-21. They are don't look the same in terms of color. Are you saying 3-10 are the same to you?

I can't wait to see how this technology is used in the future and what else it will inspire!
I'm honestly looking forward to what Samsung will do with OLED screens soon. Hopefully they slap one on the GS4. Those things are sick.
I have a feeling that the plastic screen will lose it's shape after a while, have they mentioned durability anywhere?
The skin of the touchscreen has to be flexible, and goes through a lot of repeated stress, so I'd be surprised if the touchscreen stays shiny factory flat for very long.
Looks nice, but I don't think it will keep its shape forever

I wouldn't put it past Samsung to start incorporating something like that very soon.

Why couldn't it be the international, Sprint, or T-Mobile variant? Just because it isn't Verizon-branded doesn't mean it's AT&T's. I mean, I hope it is, but I really doubt it.

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with the back cover of my Nexus 5. When i touch around the flash LED i can hear a suspicious creaking sound. I had never heard a problem like this un this forum. Should i order a replacement?
Thanks
Did you drop your device? Could be a manufacturing fault as well... If you can bear the slight creaking, just ignore it.. Else RMA it...
However, I don't see the point in RMA'ing a device for such a petty reason. What if you could get a device with other defects?
No, I didnt drop it !

Do you hear that sound when you touch around the upper right section of display? You might be hearing the power buttons rattle.

Ignore all those rumors. Only way to tell if you have a different newer revision is by checking in the Fast Boot Mode of your device. And as far as I know no production device has anything beyond rev 11. The difference in certain dimensions that you might have noticed is due to the different production assembly lines of various Nexus 5 devices.

Surely the thread is finished. It creaks. So what? Everything creaks. either put up with it or return it. What else is there to say?
To be honest, not even sure why this needed to be a thread at all. We have a "defects" thread AND an RMA thread. You could have posted in either of those

Its impossible to notice the Nexus 5 creaking unless you put it in some sort of a chokehold. It's a phone, who squeezes a phone?
Some of these people are just looking for things to pick at instead of enjoying the phone.

Have anybody notice how responsive is the screen on this thing? Sometimes I barely touch the screen, and it detects it. I'm very happy with the phone. Coming from the Note 4, and loving it so far. Even the battery life, that had me worried for a while. But now, loving it!
Yeah i noticed the same thing as you. You can pretty much hover your finger over and icon and it will open the app. Pretty damn sensitive.

I was thinking the same thing. I loved the G4, but the screen was just too unresponsive. I also never realized how much more I enjoyed a button on the front and sides. Much more useful for motorcyclists who dock their phone on the handlebar.

It's mostly the unresponsiveness of the screen that makes me not like it. It's irritating.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
Glad I wasn't the only one. Thought I had a defective digitizer.
Yep also upgraded from a G4 which has horrible screen responsiveness. Only thing that bothers me on the Note 5 is when I pick a song in Spotify as I put my phone down it chooses another song. DOH!
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
