We're discussing it here, also we have to wait for Nexus 5 Color Control by Francisco Franco
how do you like your note 3?

There are a lot of people with the same problem. My new RMA is yellowish when I compare it to my old N5 which I will ship back! Pretty annoying but not noticeable when I just use the phone.
Left - N5 16 GB white, ordered more than a month ago
Right - N5 16 GB black arrived few days ago.
Photo is taken with N7, and unfortunately the difference is not that visible as IRL, but I hope that it is still visible.
(Both phones were set to 100% brightness)
Strange part is that yellow tint is not visible when I tilt my phone away from my eyes and when watching it from CCA 45 degrees angle.

When i first received my nexus 5 (2 weeks ago) it didn't look all that yellow maybe a tiny bit. i compared it to my nexus 7(2012) and found it a bit too yellow for my liking.
After 2 weeks of usage the yellow looks completely gone to me. i compared again and saw that the nexus 7 was a bit reddish looking.
I saw on some forums that because the glue beneath the screen wasn't dried yet that caused it to be yellow. But now it looks great!
I consider it a hardware defect but its also a panel lottery, how yellow your device is compared to the "warm" and "normal" colors on the N5 is anyone elses guess. Mine was pretty yellow but the phantom kernel based on franco's fixed it right up for me though its a little bit blue now but it is significantly better than a yellow tinted screen.
The yellow tint will go away after a couple weeks. Don't worry about it. It will disappear

hi is this from your experience from owning the device ?...so if it goes away would it be due to the glue or something?

same question here, bought it yesterday, and yellow as hell compared to my N7... what do you base on when saying it will disappear?
thanks
Yeah mine was yellow compared to the my mom's and brother's moto x. But my whites are better then their whites.
This is why reviews usually suck. They test for several hours and review. No not good enough.
MKBHD did his right (sort of). He did a first impression and didn't like it 100%. Turns out, after a while he realizes it is like a shoe, gotta break her in till it's comfortable.
Patience is key.

Oooh OK lol. Breaking in means use something long enough and it'll actually improve.

so the question remains, has your yellow tint got better/dissapeared over time?
Ya. It was yellow at first compared to the moto X. Now mine has better whites.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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.

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.

I have a day one N5. Not one problem (that wasn't because of KK bugs).
All of this worry would be better redirected to deciding what ROM you're going to put on it. And oh man, what kernel should you use?
I know it's personal preference, but I never understood the color thing. Just don't get it. To each their own, I guess.

No, it's just OP'sluck that he got one with small speaker holes. The 312, 401, 402 aren't revisions. In fact they are the month in which the device was manufactured/packed.
Yes, there was no revision. I have a brand new red one and a 311 white one and there are no differences. Besides color of course Lol
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
The larger speaker holes were for the black one specifically. They probably fixed the glue issue and figured they didn't need the larger speaker holes after a short while. Therefore the red and white ones don't have it. Maybe even the newer black ones don't have them anymore. Never know.
Guys, there are no "revisions" or batches. Devices are produced constantly on a line, where device 9999 may be revision 310 the one after it can be 311. Also no device can be exactly same as the other, thats why some have bigger holes, some have smaller.

Yea I understand. But you would assume all red would have the updated holes since they were made after the change. So now I'm just curious.

There are no "updated holes". Some have big ones. Some have little ones. Its not a conscious decision. Just different machines calibrated differently etc, hence the term "manufacturing tolerances"

That's because they aren't updated holes, just variances in the manufacturing process. Exactly why RootSU said tolerances.

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.
You have no clue how great this feels coming from the LG G4.

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.

I had the GP, 1+ and Nexus 6 as well as all prior notes. My note 5 blows them all away. Battery is outstanding too. Got 10 hrs sot (posted in battery thread).

Wow, in surprised how much unanimous hated there is toward the G4. I have never used the G4, but assumed it was a great phone. I loved my Note 4, but started to not love it so much when Lollipop hit. I really love my Note 5 and the screen is amazing resolution and responsiveness.

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!
I love the MXPE! It's a great phone. With that being said, I'm returning it. I got a Nexus 6 at an incredible deal. I had planned on reselling it but after opening the box and trying it out, I just like it better. I'm coming from a Droid Turbo and I loved Qi charging as well as the AMOLED display. I've previously had all the Samsung Galaxy S series phones along with a Nexus S. I'm spoiled to the AMOLED displays. The MXPE is easier to handle and the screen is plenty big. It's just nice to have the ability to sit my phone down on the TYLT charger at night rather than look for the dang cord that always seems to fall between the night stand and the bed. Plus, I'm on call. When the phone rings at 3am, I feel like I'm going to rip the cord out of the phone when I answer. If this phone had wireless charging and an amoled display it would definitely be a keeper for me. I got the Nexus 6 when the deal was running on ebay for $299(new). It was hard to pass up that deal
