I ordered my Nexus 5 October 31st, and have read countless threads about defects for the phone. UPS just delivered my Nexus 5.. this phone is absolutely amazing.
01. There's no wiggle/rattle when shaking the phone.. the only sound I hear is the camera lense, nothing coming from the power button. Power button isn't that lose, sits tight, same with volume rockers. The edges are a little sharp on the buttons but I like it - easier to find them in the dark and press.
02. No dead pixels.
03. No strange sound when tapping on the display
04. Display looks amazing - nice bright colours. Natural tones. Awesome. No odd yellow tint on whites.
05. Vibration sounds solid - not too loud, not too soft, just right.
06. Why is everyone complaining about the sound? Seriously? Just tested music and YouTube - and sounds great (had the HTC One and I'm not complaining here)
Prior to receiving the phone, I actually compiled a list of things to check to see if my phone has issues. These are all points I read in threads, and made me feel uneasy about receiving my unit.
- speakers: higher than 70
- speakers: less than 40
- whites (google page)
- light bleed
- ceramic buttons rattle
- phone rattle
- clicking when pressing down
- vibrate motor
- dead pixels (display tester app)
- speaker pop when turning off?
- check if sim tray closes completely

Will do more tests, but if you ordered the phone and haven't received it yet- GET EXCITED. Buttery smooth, great build quality (well, at least mine is), and well worth the money.
Well done, Google and LG.

Yup. Enjoy.
There will always be a selected bunch of people that over exaggerate.. but there are faults with this phone.. mostly quality control faults.
My phone is perfect except for the discolouration on the back panel.

Is the speaker pop when turning off just the screen off sound?
My phone is perfect, zero flaws. I also think the speaker is decent and is much better than my N4, call quality is excellent too! Love the phone, period.

They're just gonna get a refurb...
Anyways, yeah, mine is fine too, other than I really have crappy signal coverage here regardless of what T-mo claims... but at least I'm finally back to what I had as "good" HSPA+ latency/bandwidth(LTE mind you, c. 10Mup/2Mdown/70+ms latency T-mobile USA) before it all went to hell last spring... so it's an upgrade in that sense, although I must admit overall the n5 is MUCH snappier than the n4, and the radios really are better(or at least WiFi, hard to tell with cell)...
Build quality is NOT NEARLY as good as the n4 overall though IMNHO... the n5 is like a ghetto/trailer park version...

So based on your experience you generalize it for everyone else. how smart.
but regardless. this phone is bang for the bucks.
Can people stop opening new threads about nexus 5 experience because there already is a thread and if each of us opened a new thread as soon as we got the phone then I think xda servers would be down. Thanks.

Now that I had enough time to play with the Sony Xperia T, I can give you my impressions about the new flagship phone of the Japanese manufacturer. There are already a lot of reviews and comparisons on the Internet so I will just tell my personal feelings about the phone. From the beginning I have to tell you that I am not a Samsung fan (although they do great hardware, the design is crap and the interface is ugly) nor an Apple fan (as some say it is built for people with average to low IQ).
Coming back to Xperia T, the size and weight are OK, even though some people are complaining is heavy, I don’t have that problem, it fits well in my pocket. The material on the back side is also good, having good adherence with your hands. Power and volume buttons are placed on the right side (well placed for right handed people, I am not sure if left handed people are confortable with this).
Camera is one of the best features the Xperia T is having, you can shoot great pictures in 13 megapixels. What really stands out is the speed of the camera: in lock mode you can press the camera button and in less than 1.5 seconds you have the first shot. Don’t worry, the camera button is not easy to press in the pocket.
USB port supports also HDMI output and I was able to connect a USB to HDMI adaptor from Samsung to connect the phone to the TV (your TV must support HDCP). You need to connect the charging adaptor in order for this to work (but I guess this is the same for the Sony TV dock) and will keep you the phone charged. The good thing is that I have a Bluetooth keyboard (with touchpad) that I can connect to the phone and while connected to the TV i can really use the phone as normal PC! This feature probably works with other phones as well. Video output is 1080p so the quality on phone screen and TV is great. If you want to connect the phone to the car USB (for charging the phone or playing the music) you need to set USB to Mass Storage mode (MSC) in Settings - Xperia - Connectivity - USB connection mode.

I have had my SXT since saturday now and I think it is a great phone but there is quite a few negative points it has.
So let me get to them:
*the camera still has that issue of being slow to focus sometimes and in video aswell which means you still miss shots which really jarred me when i had the sxs.
*the speaker for earpiece and loudspeaker should have been louder as outside you cant hear the phone ring and you can barely hear what people are saying on the phone
*you can barely see the notifcation light unless the phone is directly infront of you
*Battery life is average, doesnt last a day under moderate usage, lasts about 20 hours

I actually like the fact that notification LED light is low with my Arc it was like a night lamp.
20 hours are enough for one day. During night I'm always charging the phone
For the earpiece and loudspeker I have to disagree, at least I didn't have such issues. for ringing I am using also vibrating mode
Earpiece and speaker seriously could be louder and the notification light could have been better, in these three aspects they have taken a backwards step from the xperia s imo.
As I use headsets for calls anyway phone calls isn't a issue.
The ARCs notification light was stupid as it was on the side of the phone which imo was pointless also.
Other than that I really enjoy my SXT.

I agree. I also barely see that notification light. On XPERIA S when I put it on charger notification light was lighting like flash. I had to cover it over night because notification light was so bright. Maybe something between notification light on XPERIA T and XPERIA S would be good.
When the light is poor camera is slow on focus almoust every time but outdoor over day everything is OK.
Everything else is excellent and no complaints.

Thanks for the info on the camera focus, however I wish SONY would fix that because my HOX focuses straight away in low light and so did the S3. Also I didn't mind the brightness of the LED on the xperia s, the sgs3 or my hox. I like it like that means I can just look over at my phone and see if i have a text or something at night as my phone has to be on silent as not to wake my daughter. As it is I have to pick the phone up and check.
Aside from that yea I really love my SXT and am looking forward to the Yuga or whatever it is going to be called.
hi. Im currently using HTC One V and planning to buy HTC One S, but unfortunately HTC One S in my region is theSnapdragon S3 version. so I'm thinking to buy this phone instead. one thing that bothering me is that it doesn't have a Gorilla Glass display (plastic body is OK). so my question is the Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass on it's screen is as durable as Gorilla Glass screen? I like the phone in general. the other things that I like about this phone are community suport, official CM support etc.

It sort of is. The screenprotector (shatter-proof sheet) that is on there by default scratches easier than Gorilla Glass, but the glass itself is really quite durable!

thanks for the reply. do you think the phone still requires an additional screen protector? and what about a case/soft jacket etc, since the back cover is plastic, do you think it needs a case? (I'm afraid to squeeze it in my jean's pocket), but I can put this on my jacket though to prevent that. I'm going to buy it tomorrow (3 youtube videos make me love this phone):good:.
The Xperia T is the first phone where I've ever used the stock keyboard it comes with... I think its brilliant and so easy to type on.
There's lots of things I love about the phone, I do wish the notification LED was bigger however but meh... some phones don't even have one!
Thanks for the mini review of the Xperia T. I'm itching to purchase this baby, but will wait a few more days. The Xpera T will be an upgrade in terms of smartphone OS transition. Coming from a Nokia N8 handset, I don't feel the XT will be a huge upgrade seeing how the N8 is still the best camera phone as of this day and the 13MP on the XT, as stated by many reviews, just isn't that great (camera quality and dedicated camera button are huge decision makers for me).
Heck, every friend who played with my N8 thought it was running Android OS. :victory:
In terms of speed, I probably won't notice the lag even if lag was present if I were to compare it to the N8.
LED notification; the N8 notification light is horrible. I can definitely live with the "poor" notification light on the XT if it's significantly more noticeable than the N8.
Anyways, nice review.

Hi. Wellcome aboard N8 refugee. Been using it for about 7 hours now. You will not notice any lag whatsoever. The Krait processor is awesome. I bought this phone just because it has Snapdragon S4 processor, I don't use camera that much. The notification light issue is not a big deal for me.

My Xperia T still hasn't arrived (FedEx ) but my Xperia S has the same display type and I'd never cover it with yet another screen protector.
Just use it as it comes. The default screen protector will last you quite some time. I've had my Xperia S since the day of release, 8 months now and my display is still near-perfect. When you've got scratches on the display you just remove the "shatter-proof sheet" and replace it with your own screen protector and your display is as good as new!
Again, no experience with the T, but on my Xperia S the (probably significantly less rough) back got some glossy spots from the friction in my pockets. But the material is completely different so I can't say how the T will fare here...

Guys,
My wife is still using the X10 with the original screen protector. It is very good. I did the mistake to remove it from my old X10 and no other screen protector was good enough. But the screen was excellent even without screen protector. My advice is to keep it there, I have it on the Arc since 1.5 years and it's still OK.

Hi guy, just received my replacement htc One and the QC is even worse than the first. First One had an uneven top speaker slip (sharp edge overhang) uneven glass and recessed power button. This replacement is uneven top and bottom with sharp speaker slip overhangs to left again, sim tray is tatty, but the worst issue (and a new one) is the volume rocker that is so proud of the body on the screen edge you can see where the chrome plating finishes. I've spoken to my supplier and they are sending another replacement. Love the phone, hate the QC. Has anyone got a close to decent unit? First was HT serial, second is SH. Anyone else seen the volume rocker pics (see attached)
Cheer
I've gotten two perfect units. It just luck when you order early on. It sucks!!

LoL well if you get a good unit then it's amazing if you get a bad unit then HTC is devil and has major problems The phone seems to be great quality like HTC usually does. There are some issues right now as the phone hasn't been out long and they are trying to pump out as many as possible. I by some miracle have gotten lucky with the ONE. This suprisses me because I generally have to exchange phones I've done as many as 5 before I got a perfect unit (haha it was a iphone 5). It's really a crap shoot when phones are first released if you are the kind of person who can spot a dead pixel on 468PPI screen then you are the kind of person who is anal retentive about their phone (nothing wrong with that I admit it proudly heck I inspect phones under high powered flashlight and direct sunlight ).
I can't really say anything other then it doesn't appear that there are any more bad unit with the HTC One than with any other phone. Unfortunately most phones get released with some manufacturing bugs that have to be worked out.

Cheers for the reply, ordered another replacement, hope for 3rd time lucky!
All the defect and issues treads are making me sad. We bought a phone to enjoy it not sit and complain about it.
I'll start by naming a few things I like. The speakers in my opinion actually sound good. There's plenty of bass and it's not full of tremble. I can actually do homework and play music with out issues.
The screen has nice colors and really pops out at ya. Ya there's bad viewing angle but who looks at there phone from the side. These are a few things I like so far.
All in all I find this an improvement all around. It's a $350 device and I will enjoy it tell the nexus 6.
Thanks.

right now i'm stoked. however, i may end up getting one of those red cases from the play store, because the ever so slight camera lens protruding out from the back drives me crazy when laying on a completely flat surface, it rocks tops left to bottom right lol
Ya a case is almost needed with the camera sticking out like that. I've been a big fan of diztronic cases, which should be here soon.

Been an android fan for years, and have always rooted tweaked my phones grew tired of it, used the iphone 5 for the past 7 months and really enjoyed not wanting to tweak the phone or anything. Longest I kept a phone within the past 3-4 years. Typically trade or sell every android phone I've had.
Nexus 5
love the feel & size of the phone, screen is pretty solid. Android kit kat OS is pretty solid very happy with it, not all the apps are working thought, still need updates on some. No complaints on speakers, screen etc... only issue for me is battery, will get a solid 7-9 hours use but I do need to place on the charger at work to be able to use it all day. Typically off the charger at 530 am and not home till about 7-8pm.
Posted on craigslist and have few offers that I'm considering
Galaxy s4 with spigen matte black slim armor view case
moto x plus a nexus 7 32gb
iphone 5 32gb
iphone 5s 16gb
Main concern is battery, need something to last all day for me with medium to heavy use. Root and new kernel?
I ordered two one for me and one for a friend, both are perfect, no rattling power buttons, no dead pixels maybe I'm just lucky but I love my nexus 5.
I'm not sure if I'm lucky, or the people who are satisfied and not having issues are just keeping quiet, but I have none of the issues commonly mentioned in the defects thread
-- Very minimal backlight bleed
-- Vibration motor is fine... maybe a LITTLE soft, certainly not loud.
-- No dead pixels
-- Speaker sounds fine
-- No rattling or loose buttons
I have the black 32GB model. I must say, I'm absolutely LOVING the device. Android 4.4 is beautiful, the device is screaming fast (anyone coming from a Galaxy Nexus must just be thrilled). The screen is gorgeous... everything about it is just great.
Interestingly, my favorite thing of all might be the soft-touch back. Yes, it's a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but wow does it make holding and navigating the device comfortable. It feels wonderful.
No complaints whatsoever.

What's your biggest pet peeve with the Nexus 5? You may have one, you may have many, or you may have none, but list only one.
For me, it's the vibration. It sucks so badly that I can't even feel it 1 cm away next to me on my desk, which needless to say is uber annoying. I'm on my second N5 and both are the same, so it's not a matter of one being defective. I can feel it find in my hands or in my pocket, but on a flat surface, nothing. I stopped counting how many important calls/message I've missed over the past week because of it.

I've just started to notice the same thing, the vibration is pretty weak
My biggest pet peeve with the nexus 5 is the fact that it randomly heats up when just browsing reddit or something similar. Its not like I'm playing dead trigger or some other graphic intensive game.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
For me it's the speaker, distorted and I can feel vibration from it throughout the phone.
Also the whole phone feels a bit cheap compared to how the n4 felt last year, with a solid feel and beautifully curved glass screen.
Odd, when my phone vibrates I can feel it from across my desk. And that's with vibration turned down to 50%, if it's at 100% it feels like it's going to shake itself apart (and gives me a heart attack whenever it goes off as well).
My speakers, however, are quite bad. Even with a volume adjustment tweak they're very quiet and very little sound comes out of them despite the back of the phone vibrating a lot, it looks like glue/whatever it was got in the way of my speakers. It's fixable but... I don't use the speakers enough to risk taking apart my phone.
my beef is with the placing of the volume and power buttons, maybe its my small hands but whenever I wake the phone up I press the 'volume down' button also ...
Weak, almost noon existent vibrator, terrible speaker, terrible battery life, useless ambient light sensor, terrible viewing angles of the screen. List goes on

So much for 1 annoyance.
You do know you have a choice when it comes to android phones, right? Feel free to return the nexus and try something else
Vibration here!
Have missed so many texts and calls and in turn I find myself pressing power button more often to make sure I don't have any notifications.
The locked ringer and notification volume
I had to wake up to take a call, but I didn't want notifications waking me up. There was no easy way to silence notifications because the ringer and notification volume controls are locked together. I had to use Xposed Framework with the Ringer and Notification Volume Unlink.
The crappy thing was that I also had to revert from ART to Dalvik because Xposed only works with Dalvik.

I know it's not ideal but you can go to
Settings --> Sound --> Volumes and then change them there.
For me its 100% the speed (or lack thereof) of the camera. I have a young baby daughter and trying to get shots of her is virtually impossible b/c this is the slowest camera I've used on a smartphone since 2008. The pictures themselves come out great but way too much blur due to the shutter speed being a complete and utter joke.
Mine is when I hold it in landscape I'm often covering the speaker and can't hear anything.
When 4G is enabled, the phone randomly goes beserk and drains the battery in a matter of hours, reporting 75% "Mobile Standby". Shut off 4G and it's fine. 4G remains off.
Oh, Bluetooth contact sync still sucks compared to CM10.x on N4. Only get partial contacts sync'ed to my BMW E61 :-/
Otherwise, I love it. Light usage day today - 15 hours off charge, 1.5 hours SOT (quite low for me, but I've been doing real work!), 45 mins of voice calls and bucket loads of emails - 61% battery left
The speed of the camera, absolutely. It takes pretty good quality photos (particularly with HDR+ enabled), but it's sooooo slow. I'm also really not happy with the relatively bright black level and light bleed issues of the display.
That being said, I still love this phone. The camera speed will most likely be fixed with an OTA update, and the black levels are not a deal breaker by any means.
My biggest pet peeve has to be the speaker and the camera focus glitch. If I tap, it'll focus then unfocus. It's driving me nuts. Camera speeds are not as slow as everyone is saying they are.

Wow so many ppl complain g about what seems to be an awesome phone battery life is plenty good for me getting 3-3.5 hours screen time what more do u want?
no dead pixels no yellow coloring vibration is just fine and with audio and camera mod those two are just fine now to ppl its a 350 dollar phone not a 600-700 dollar phone that alone make any other small thing erelevent. Just my opinion.
I only have 1 thing that bothers me about the phone. The size doesn't matter to me, and neither does the price.
But the battery, on the other hand, doesn't last very long. I can only get by about 3-4 hours of on screen time. They should have made the Nexus 6 with a 4000 mAh battery.
I'm not a fan of the Miracast option being taken away. Unsure if it's just a software piece, but I'd really be sad if the hardware didn't allow for this.

The fact that Motorola didn't use a IPS over a AMOLED when Lollipop is the Android reiteration that moves away from dark backgrounds to having white backgrounds.
AMOLED doesn't display whites as whites and whites consume more battery than black backgrounds.
Everything about the phone is great looking aside from the unsuccessful launch with supply meeting its demand.
The power button placement with a case. I tend to press the volume up more than the power button.
Nothing that a future version of Xposed can't fix. Physically the phone is great.
Camera. Takes quality pics once it focuses, but low light sucks compared to the N5. I can't even take a good selfie for Snapchat sometimes ☺

I think Snapchat doesn't play well with the Nexus 6 yet because I have the same problem.
Also, HDR+ mode helps a hell of a lot with low light situations.
Hmmm would probably be that the back of it is an insanely good fingerprint magnet...that and a ton of apps don't work with lollipop, or are not optimized for it and are unplayable

Yep...[emoji651]
Now dealing with a dust particle that appeared overnight showing on every photo or video I take. Time for a replacement.
Hard to pick just one. These just about tied:
1. Forced encryption
2. New volume mess - - no mute
3. My new ailment : Carpal Nexus Syndrome.
I CAN use it one handed but using all day yesterday my hand is very sore. MOTRIN FRIDAY!
Any of you notice any screen burn in yet? Just watched a video where a 2 day old nexus 6 had burn in. My pet peeve is still no micro SD card slot!!!
The signal bar in the battery screen is inaccurate unless they changed things up? My bar shows orange even though I'm getting -98dbm.

I have been trying to buy a nexus 6 and am getting frustrated about the order process as I want to purchase from Google Play. The battery issue is one thing that is making doubts. I had a Mate 2 that got 3 days use. The Mate 7 is looking more and more like a better phone and I may just wait for it.
AS said above the proximity of the power button to the volume buttons and the the fact that I can mute the phone with power buttons.
Hopefully the mute can be fixed in Xposed one it is ready for user consumption.
same here the power button is to close to the volume buttons i always press the wrong one..
not as much an issue now since i got the case-mate folio on it.

I've been using the heck out of my Nexus 6 for the last 10 days and haven't seen any burn in yet.
It doesn't bother me that much anyways because I might switch to a HTC One (M9) when it releases if it impresses me and if by that time my N6's burn in really bothers me.
(Or of course if there's something else I hate about the phone at the time)
No LED...
No xposed. I knew that going in though.
N6
All the people trying to find reasons to dislike the device

The back is more slippery than I thought, but that's about it... I really love this phone. I can't look at the N5 screen now. My eyes bleed.
