Also I think in MY opinion in this nexus 5 over seas set case. It all depends on the seller how he deals which is pay full you get the sealed box unit. Any problem I RMA for you. Or open box unit... (opened to check the phone n all before shipping it to MY or open it to put thr company stickers or wht not) and then if any problem. 1 to 1 exchange at the same time. But I am not sure. I got my sealed box unit and I got no issues with it at all. Just the slight yellow tint which is very common in new batch nexus 5 sets. Some say it's because of glue or color calibration problem. hmm.

thanks for your suggestion! will do that later on

Ma
Marketing gimmick thingy. It is more of it provides anti finger print protection. They forgot to mention 100% or what lol. You still get finger prints, even on rhino. It is just that you get em less compared to Amy regular cheap screen protector.

I wanna use Diztronic case but then I've got Rhino applied zz. I bought the nillkin glass SP also. I am thinking of using the phone without any cover so that I can use rhino for a month or two then remove it to replace it with a glass SP so that I can use the diztronic case. Kind of disappointing that I wasted 77 bucks. Rhino isn't bad. Just not compatible with TPU cases? or at least not compatible with Diztronic for sure!

Not sure about that bro but in my opinion it will work well. why? because diztronic is a tight fit tpu case... loose fit tpu cases should work fine with glass SPs then.

Nah. I don't have that case to try.

To clarify everyone about this much discussed issue. Taken from XDA.

'Serial numbers are not revisions

There's thread after thread after thread about Nexus defects and "311k fixed this but broke that". I've been posting a common response in most of these threads multiple times but it is too much effort to keep doing this.

Now please, all of you do this. Boot into your bootloader and look at your hardware version. It's rev_11, right?

That's because there is only ONE hardware version as per LG's understanding.

So what does 310, 311, 312 mean? Well it looks like month of manufacture doesn't it?! October, November, December?

"But, but, but i've got bigger speaker holes and my buttons don't rattle..."

Sure, manufacturing tolerances mean there will always be slight variances. Devices are built on different manufacturing lines, in different plants, in different countries perhaps - all maintained and calibrated by different teams. This is common. It is impossible (IMPOSSIBLE) to manufacture 2 identical devices. Humans are not good enough at it. This is why all the CPU's are binned between PSV 0-6.. these are within tolerance. Otherwise they'd all be PSV 3, or whatever is thought to be "optimum".

These tolerances mean that there are variations in every single component. No 2 are identical, meaning no 2 Nexus 5's are identical. Technically, every Nexus 5 is a variation. A variation of the perfect one, which probably doesn't exist

All these questions about "If I buy from store x" or "If I RMA now"..... "will I get new version?" Are pointless... there are no newer versions.

The defects reported exist across all the serial numbers. My 310 doesn't have any button rattle. It only rattles the autofocus when I rattle the device from side to side. So to say all 310's buttons rattle and all 311's fixed this is false... and now we have 312's with rattle... what happened? Did LG remove the fix? No! It was never a fix.

It seems some people want to RMA based on their serial number and nothing else or trying to avoid a particular serial... don't. Buy the device normally. If it has specific faults that you're not willing to put up with, RMA it. That's it. Please stop stressing about serial numbers. Buy your device and enjoy it, but please can we try and keep these threads where everyone posts "I've got a 311k and I have x fault" to a minimum? They're not helpful and mean nothing and clog up this forum with nonsense.

I admit the Defects thread may serve some purpose but this is happening there too, meaning the information is tainted.

Further logic

Here's some further logic I would like to include in this post.

The Nexus 5 is not manufactured in batches. It is manufactured 24/7. There is no end of an old batch and beginning of a new batch. The phone that rolls off the production line at 23:59 on October the 31st gets the 310K serial number. The very next phone that rolls off the same line at 00:00 on November 1st gets the 311K serial number.

If a fault had been found in 1 out of every 200 Nexus 5's, where the vibrator motor was faulty, what do you think would happen? Do you think that LG would discard the millions of vibrator motors they have in stock, replace every one with millions more and cease production immediately until the new motor is put in? The fact of the matter is if for every 1 Nexus 5 with a faulty vibrator, there are 199 with a working vibrator, it would be cheaper to repair the 1. What would you do if you were LG? Would you discard 199 good "type A" vibrators and buy 200 "type B" vibrators? Would you stop all of your productions lines and lose money by being unable to service demand? Or would it be cheaper to repair that 1 faulty device with a new vibrator and let the other 199 get manufactured and sold? Would you use up all the old stock of "type A" vibrators until they were gone, knowing only 1 in 200 would be faulty, then when you run out, start using "type B"? I certainly would as that is much cheaper than ceasing production in multiple plants around the world ans scrapping all the good "type a" motors.

In regards to the above, would all "type A" vibrators run out at 23:59 on October 31st, in every plant around the world? Then at 00:00 on November 1st, all "type B" would be used? If you were to scrap all "type A" vibrators and replace them with "type B", would you wait until the next month, when the serial number automatically changes? What would be the significance in that? If you're really going to be bold and scrap them all, you wouldn't wait until the end of the month. if you were happy to wait until the end of the month, then there would never have been a need to scrap them all in the first place. If the bold decision to scrap them ALL is made, you'd do it immediately

If you tightened Quality control, or started adding more glue to hold something in place, would you wait until midnight on the last day of the month to implement it? Why?

If tight rocker buttons and larger speaker holes are a fix and LG have waited to change serial number before implementing the fix, why are there even newer devices with newer serial numbers that do not have this "fix"? If loose rockers are something that needs to be fixed, why haven't all older devices got them? Why hasn't mine?'

FINALLY. Thanks man. I was already getting annoyed by this question.

probably some app u installed. For me it was the led light app. Ate battery a lot. I uninstall it n it got better!

this fixes it?

94 page already. Seems like it is going to be V5 soon

Nexus 5 bro rom root kernel will be the things most frequently mentioned here
I didn't root my N5 yet too. Still stock and locked. So I read all these posts too to get more info about the whole rooting scene in general (y)

Common sense actually. If the phone doesn't launch in Malaysia. The Malaysian LG techs won't get Nexus 5 workshop training nor would they order spare parts and keep them in their warehouse as they themselves don't officially sell then why the need?

So my answer is YES if only Nexus 5 officially launches here... and NO if it doesn't. In that case you will have to send it back to LG Australia.

If you buy a set with AP warranty. The seller will help you to repair the set using their own techs OR may help you to RMA your phone, but the postage you will have to bear.

I think this should be mentioned in first page post as FAQ hehe.

I hate encrypting data. I lost 2TB of my past important data last year It made me learn a lesson to never encrypt haha:D

congrats bro (y)

got parts for nexus 5 at lowyat plaza already? (y)
600 wew. How much was the labor charge exactly?

I see. So 500RM ... usually screen for phones around 300ish + for N 5 a bit expensive. Maybe because it's a new model. After mid 2014, price might go down for parts too.

that 17xx is 1799

So I am selling off my black 32GB 312K HK nexus 5 with bundle as I am in urgent need of cash.
