Seeing how Nexus devices are somewhat more prone to defects than others (especially the 7 line?), how have your brand new Nexus 5s fared now that some of you have had the chance to play with it a little?
The power button is jiggly/wobbly and makes an audible 'clicky' sound when I tap on the screen near it or shake the device.
oh no here we go with the rattle noises

Moto X has this problem with the power button and volume rocker, I was hoping it wouldn't carry over to the Nexus 5.

The buttons are ceramic, and a bit more weighty than the vinyl/rubber/plastic on other phones. I plan on a Diztronic case anyway, which softens the buttons/push action and quiets the rattles.

Any movement of the phone, not just a deliberate shake.
If anyone else has a nexus 5 and could weigh in on this thread it would be great. Just to find out if most peoples are the same and put this to bed early. Either its a one off fault or its just the way its supposed to be.

Honestly I have the device and it makes such a tiny wobble and noise that we can call this device a success: if all you can pick out is that tiny nit pick from anything you can possibly find then you're just looking for problems.
I got nothing else. Battery is good, camera is good, phone feels fantastic in my hands, no software bugs, no weird earpiece buzz from n4, no multi touch issues, GPS works, Bluetooth works, anything else? I don't have USB otg to test...

Mine has pretty poor back light wash out at angles over 30 degrees or so. Its not strictly a poor viewing angle because there is no colour shift. Other than that it seems fine, no rattling, no obvious bugs.

Really minor but the SIM tray isn't completely flush with the body. It doesn't bother me though.

Can you confirm that if you hold the power and volume buttons in place, then shake the phone, that the rattle goes away?
If it's still present then the rattle is most likely the camera module - my S3 has a similar rattle.
Upon further inspection yes my Nexus 5 power button does 'rattle' but its such a small niggle that I will ignore it, simply put if I tap (firmly!) the top right of the screen I can hear the rattle of the power button but thats it, no real backlight bleed nor any dead pixels battery seems pretty damn good and the earpiece is brilliant quality, need to check the mic mind.

Recently noticed a slight buzzing sound coming from just behind the Xperia logo on the back of the Z when you knock on it (or place it on a table). When I asked the guys at the Sony store, it turns out that all the Xperia Z models there all have that buzz when you knock on it. Can anyone else confirm if they've got this too?

After reading you post I tried knocking on the back at the center but no, I don't hear any buzzing sound

Really? It's not very loud so if you hit the back with your fingernails, it's almost inaudible, but if you use the meat of your fingers, it becomes distinctive. I hope it's not just my country that gets these ones...

I tried a couple time with harder impact and I think I now understand what you were talking about. It's a buzzing sound indeed, but mine is quite minimal,(almost like you have to listen to it extremely carefully) I would say those are the sounds from the glass and the thing whatever it is contacting with.
My phone is naked without any case or shield, but I never hear these buzzing sounds ever when I put the phone on the table.

Ah yeah, that's the sort of thing mine is giving off, although mine buzzes when I put it on a table. Must be a design flaw on Xperia Z models or something

I put the phone close to my ears and hit the screen with my fingers with a fair amount of strength. No buzzing whatsoever.
It seems to be occurring nearer to the camera lens than the Xperia logo. Where did you get yours, and when was it manufactured?

Oh actually that would make sense. It does seem like something around the camera lens is loose, so that could possibly be the cause...
Seems like there are certain ones which do have a loose camera lens and some that don't. Does anyone know if they would exchange mine for a new one if I can prove that it's a bit of a manufacturing flaw? Mine buzzes quite a lot and it's driving me crazy...

Well actually this is correcly designed. The cameralens is kind of "loose" because of the "focus" functionality.
Just found it a bit strange as I've never seen (or heard rather) camera lenses that have moved around within itself...

It's the autofocus. Absolutely normal, all phones have this.
What is that dreadful rattle noise that seems to come with the haptic feedback of every HTC phone? Sometimes the feedback seems fine then the weird rattle comes back. Had this phone one day btw. Dropped it once though.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Have had mine for a few days now and has only had one fall from a few inches off the ground so I know my issue isn't from damage.
The haptic feedback seems okay for the most part, but any other vibration is crazy loud/rattles. Even while holding in your hand and not just rattling on the desk or something. Seems to be a common problem.

Sounds like a QC issue. It should not be like that. Mine is silent when vibrating, unless on a table or something hard that resonates the sound.

Interesting. Yeah mine makes the sound only when sitting on a hard surface, or if my hand is in a certain spot on the phone. I hate that sound so much though.

I can say that the vibration sound is quite loud and annoying. And it is only when holding it certain ways. Straight up a s down it makes no noise. At a 45° angle it is quite loud as well as holding it flat.

The vibration issue makes me want to take this back and exchange it in store. The data issues and next to impossible streaming capability(have not yet been able to stream a YouTube video using mobile data) make me want to just take it in and exchange for the s4.
The over all build quality and believe it or not, the ui and software makes me want to keep the One.
Still have about 10 days left to make my decision.

I've heard sometimes the SIM card slot could shake?
Maybe. Idk.
Tried shaking the phone close to my ear, heard some sound, got scared as hell. Realized it was just my phone brushing against my hair >___>
Still do hear something. Best guess: vibration motor or sim card moving around in the slot.
Might just be the camera itself rattling. It moves a bit because of the image stabilization feature. Its the same reason why you hear a small click when you first start up the camera.
If you're talking about a noise around the camera specifically, almost like a buzz/vibration, then yes, I have that and so did my Inspire 4G. Same sounds that after this phone having it, assumed it isn't anything too abnormal if both of them did it.
Well, to clarify, if I tap my finger around the top, it's a buzz, but if you just shake it, it's more of a click.
It's the auto focus mechanism in the camera. Nothing to worry about. Totally normal.
There was a big hey-ho about it when the iPhone 4 was released.

When I tab with my index finger to the upper right corner I can hear that the glass is not fixed plane. Can anyone of you confirm that??
Every time I pull down the pull down menu I hear this annoying click noise telling me I have a bad build quality. Unfortunately that won't be a reason to send it to Sony for fixing it.

Best thing to do is ring them and tell them the problem and that you want it sorted, and yes if the glass is not on properly then maybe it won't be waterproof, I think Sony guarantee that so you could have a case for returning it

Just curious, is the camera lose or why would it make noise?
The lenses of the focus aperture are not fixed and have some space to move when the camera is not in use. That's producing this clicking noise.

I believe its the camera! It comprises of many lenses. I can replicate the same sound by tapping my iphone and of course my Z1 as well. Don't fret! I'd suggest you to go to a nearby mobile showroom and try the same on of the Z1 demo models. Try it on an iphone as well.
Cheers!

Yes, and yes.
But most people probably won't realise it because it's very subtle.
As long as your glas cover does not show any flex when you squeeze it I think you are fine.
Not sure if this deserves a separate thread, but just noticed that if i completely block the actual speaker (one on the side) with my finger the sound ends or (or seems to end up) coming out from the earpiece instead. If this is intentional, that is SO cool, can anyone verify?
How is it cool? I hate it especially when playing a game lol
Sent from my Nexus 5
I don't think this is the case. Once the bottom left speaker holes are blocked the music just radiates from the phone in general, not one specific point like the ear piece speaker. Maybe the headphone jack adds to what you're hearing?

Not intentional. You're just hearing it resonate throughout the phone, as jbdan said.
Not sure how it would detect such an event, but it wouldn't be such a bad idea to reroute audio to the earpiece speaker if the bottom speaker is blocked. Sometimes my bottom speaker gets blocked if the phone sits at just the right angle in my tylt charger, I'm afraid I won't hear my alarm one of these days.

I wouldn't purposefully block the speaker. The speaker in our device is pretty cheap, and I'm sure the added pressure from blocking the holes might damage it, and decrease the sound quality even more.

Blocking the speaker grill holes is not going to do any damage to anything
My "flip it over" comment earlier was serious. If you flip it over it places the speaker on the top left and you are less likely to block it. There was a tongue-in-cheek thread about this a while ago, but despite all the silly comments it is the easiest way to solve the blocked speaker problem.
I don't get why everyone says the speaker is bad. It's as good if not better than my nexus 4 was. That was about on par with my note 1. Do you guys expect boom sound or something?
