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

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.

My initial Nexus 4 has a small hole in the centre of the backlight through which light escapes when viewed from any sort of angle. It's quite distracting, so I've elected to send it back. I've only seen one other user with this defect.
Half the threads on this forum are about problems people are having, and each seems to have a respectable number of vocal sufferers. But people come here because they have these problems, and it's tough to determine how the average customer is making out.
I'm mostly curious because I have no idea what to expect of the replacement I receive. Glue blotches? Who knows.
I wonder what the actual % is. Poll up top for those interested.
I have the speaker problem but i can not hear it. My buddy's N4 has it has well. He said he thinks his is worst on his phone. Because i can not hear it i do not think there is a problem. Over all i have been very happy with the phone. I can't wait for Franco to get his so we can get some better kernels.
These results will always be obscured. People that don't have a reason to complain usually won't make a thread saying" hey got my phone today, works as expected"

I'm the only person I've seen posting with my defect -- the camera LED doesn't work, no flash, no flashlight. I'm obviously getting a replacement, shipped today.
Mine has a yellow tint on the bottom half of the screen. Replacement was shipped out today
My Nexus 4 locks up in deep sleep (while charging usually). In order to restart the phone, I have to hit Power + Vol Down which shows me the charging animation, afterwhich I can hit power to start the phone. I've already wiped the phone and flashed the stock 4.2 image from Google, and uninstalled any applications known to be incompatible. Seems to be a hardware issue so I requested an RMA.
Mine acted odd but, sometimes when I have a notification, I can't wake the device's screen forcing me to do a power cycle.
To the guy above me, to reset the device all you need to hold is the power button...

Had a speck of dust stuck between the screen and the display. It was super annoying at first because there was a glue "halo" around it, which dried up and it ended up looking like a huge dead pixel.
Replacement arrived fine, but I have had a problem with both phones rebooting constantly when pushing them. It's starting to really piss me off.
Anyone else notice the vibration function is off sometimes. At time its feels great like it should, but other times it feels a little too strong, like it's a little loose.
Overall I'm really happy with the phone; everything is perfect.
I have the yellow spots on my screen. They seem to get worse over time. My replacement shipped today though. I'm really hoping it doesn't have any issues.

When you come to a forum about hardware you will have a high rate of people who have faults, that is natural as people come to ask. You can only find out for yourself and luckily the consumer is protected by law for the first 30 days or whatever they have to decide they aren't happy with it.
The build quality does look quite shocking though.
Hope they don't pass all the replacement directly to LG like what they did on Galaxy Nexus after receiving too many replacement call.

What do you mean "when pushing them"?
I have a thin vertical blinking line to the of my screen it strechches the entire length of the screen.its noticible on any color background but white seems the worst as the line appears pink.I called Google today they should be sending a replacement this week.its ashamed other then the line the phone seems flawless but a line down the entire screen isn't something I can overlook
I am just now getting screen banding, obviously a defect. kinda frustrating..
I just wanted to let you guys know my situation.
I have had problems with the build quality! I got my phone from Carphone Warehouse (UK) on Friday, I noticed a dead pixel and that the vibration was really loud (sounded cheap) so I took it back, the 2nd one I got the power button rattled like mad, I swapped it again and the same thing is happening with the power button. I am sick of it now and although the software is superb I cannot deal with the build quality. I'm now on the hunt for a different phone.

I can imagine it being annoying but lets not forget the iPhone 5s has many reports of loose/rattly power buttons too and they cost double of what the Nexus 5 costs.
Not making excuses for LG/Google but even Apple isn't immune to this.
Recently I even saw an article about the Note 3 having a loose or crooked home button. In all reality nothing is perfect, there is a margin of error allowed for every phone that comes off of the line that's just how it goes.
I don't think the build quality is the best, it feels quite cheap and feels as if it could break easily. The Gorilla Glass 3 feels amazing to touch though!

And that's why I wait for the problems to iron themselves out before I order a new phone.
power button is fine on mine however the volume button edges are razor sharp and seem quite rough.
Anyone else have this?
nexus 4 first releases had issues with the buzz noise in the ear piece. risks of being a pioneer user for the phone? At least you can freely get it replaced for now. after I RMA'd, I received one with perfect build quality. Keep trying!
Must be lucky then, no dead pixels here and any noticeable backlight bleed and the buttons are fine apart from being slighly rough on the sides. Cant fault the build quality here and I would say you're simply unlucky, 1 dead pixel is nothing in a display and for just a simple thing as the button rattling when you shake it... who shakes their phones?This reminds me of the silly thread in the N4 section where the autofocus for the camera caused a rattle when you shook the phone yet alot of people went OCD on it and were livid on such a small issue.
First part with the dead pixel I believe is fair but you replaced it and got one that didnt have a dead pixel so BQ doesnt sound like an issue...

Just out of curiosity has anyone elses buttons rattle when you shake the phone. Im only asking as a point of reference. I know many will say it theirs doesn't but lets be honest Iv heard it a million times then I go to a store and try a a few and find they all do to some extent. It would be great to hear from those that have the phone and honestly,
hey if it rattles it rattles it will just be the way its made that results in a rattle. I would think it strange though that LG would put so much effort into making ceramic buttons for durability and longevity then not fit them properly on production.
so I would suggest this is probably normal although i never tried shaking the phones I had hands on today though,
The ones I had hands on did have a sharp edge to the buttons. Didn't bother me though its simply the type of material they are made from. Its not like it will cut off a digit and nice that it felt solid. It also had a nice click to them as well when using them.
When I get me N5, if the only issue it has is a rattling power button I will be more then ecstatic and consider that one hell of a device.
I wouldnt care as long as dust doesnt get in the screen Im fine. HTC always had that issue. Plus I am getting a case so I am not worried.
Solution to your button problems:
Get a decent case, like the Spigen Neo Hybrid: HERE

Get a case it should keep it from rattling. I think the phone is too good to return for a reason like that unless you wanna switch it for another one again u might get a betternone
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Tbh in all the ones Iv held there isnt much to go wrong. Unless there is any noticeable pixel issues.
the only thing i foresee as being a common fault cry will be the back plate and any gaps between the edge of this and where it meets the phones frame because its secured in with clips around the backplate. So its logical to assume that since its not glued or screwed down at every point around the device there will be points that you would be able to get a nail under and bend/flex a bit more than other points.
However this is not a fault its just through the way its secured down.
Besides this and the sharp edge of the buttons there is really nothing else to be faulty on this. Earpiece and speaker all seems to be of good quality and screen is gorgeous.
Like everything else there will be the odd faulty one that slips though but im pretty surprised at how well this seems to be put together

Rattling like a maraca

I don't mean to start an internet war here but this is nothing new. People complained about this from the Nexus 4 and many other phones before it. It's a pretty damn common thing and not really something to get upset about. RMAing the device will most certainly yield the same results with the new phone so what's the big fuss about?
Besides, as soon as you throw a case on the phone (as many of us do) it's moot anyway. And if you don't want to use a case just do what this guy did. Simple fix.
I wasnt looking for a war, i was just curious about the number of people who do have rattling to the number who dont.
Makes sense I suppose. I just think you can expect a large number of people saying "yes". In reality this is common with Android smartphones, in my experience.
No rattling here.

Coming from a galaxy nexus it's a bit odd...
the only creaking i had there was the battery cover
How loose is loose? Mine rattles only when I shake it and put it to my ear, but I've yet to notice it on daily use. Does that count as normal, or rattling.
EDIT- Even when I move the phone around in front of my face I can barely hear it.. Physically it rattles, though, so I'm not sure what to say. Maybe I've got real bad hearing...

IMO all has button rattle. The phone design has too much distance tolerance between from PCB button switch and the actual buttons. so based on PCB location when assembly of the phone. It can make button rattle either volume or power button. some might have less some might have more depending on the position of PCB. I've RMAed my phone for button rattle for 5 times. and all had rattle. some has less but still there.
The iPhone 4 has this problem too, and does my nexus 5 so i pretty much got used to it.
Could just be some people's OIS camera. It can make a sound if shaken.

Maybe I got lucky, but my phone seems to be just fine!
Mine seems fine too, but I am waiting for my Sim card to ship. Arrives on monday. Hopefully I don't have radio/connection issues.
:crying:
Only problem with mine is the power button rattles. With a case on it doesn't happen though.
The vibration also whistles a little bit, but it just needs setting to 30ms and it will be fine.
Power button has a bit of play if I move my finger over it sideways but only noticed it now after reading the poll, so not really a problem per se.
Perfect unit here
I must be lucky also after hearing about dead pixels and loose vibrator's etc, nothing wrong with my unit what so ever

I tried to rattle my power button and barely hear anything. I tried to see the light leaking and bleeding and once again nothing. I was so paranoid about dead pixels and dust lol that i spent 15 minutes examining and cleaning the screen with a micofiber cloth under a powerful flashlight to see if i found anything and nope. I'm glad to say I got one of the perfect units since I was so paranoid that my 32Gig Stormtrooper was going to have dust under the screen.
Just for people who think they have no faults, might be worth checking with a dead pixel checking app, might surprise you!
Mine actually is fault free.
No dead pixels (I can notice I returned an HTC One for dead pixels).
Vibrator seems solid, no button issues. Very happy with it.
I have a white 16GB, bought on launch day if it matters.
My power button has a little room and rattles a bit when i tip on the screen. But that's the poor mans vibration and thus saves battery, so i don't mind.
Otherwise the Phone is fine.
Mine is fine too! No faults, no problems.

Bluetooth Quality
The only issue I have with my Nexus 5 is Bluetooth Connection Quality. This issue was persistent from brand new out of the box, and through flashing of custom roms.
With my Nexus 4 I would connect to my speakers in the next room via bluetooth while in the bathroom taking a shower. Connection quality was always perfect. With Nexus 5 it will connect and sound great, but will get the occasional static and distortion you find when going out of range of your bluetooth receiver. The problem is that the distance this is happening over is between 10-15 feet. Never had this problem on the Nexus 4.

Used 2 dead pixel apps and a magnifying glass as well. I was really paranoid lol. Only thing is that the speaker volume actually is low and I'm coming from a Galaxy S2 and I'm disappointed in the speaker quality.
Loose power button but everything else perfect. Not worth RMA'ing for. Slapped a case on the phone and power button now firm and solid.
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.

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.

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 ...

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.

My biggest problem is the ringtone sound its not loud enough and why didn't they put two speakers in there I can't see any glue covering my speaker grill. I've missed so many calls even with volume on full.

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.
