Front Camera Alignment - Nexus 5 General

Anyone's front facing camera seem like it's out of perfect alignment or is this normal? It's not just a shadow I'm sure if it. http://imgur.com/oYVflP2

Mine is perfectly aligned, so I guess it is not normal. I suppose the front camera does work, and it is only a design issue.

Does it work?
As long as the lens isn't covered, it should be 100% functional. it's held by sticky tape, if it really bothers you, you can unclip the back and move it into alignment. But if its functional and lens isn't blocked, I wouldn't worry about it.

Mine looks similar to yours. Doesn't affect the pictures, so I don't care.

It works perfectly. Just aesthetically it bothers me.

Jesus, they really like their double sided sticky tape over there at LG... Isn't the vibrator held with sticky tape too?

Actually mine is a little like yours too. Guessing its "normal"? Unless im looking for it I dont see it.

Mine isnt completely center, so i'm chalking this one up to normal/within spec.

Perfectly centered here and I'm ocd

Not centered on mine. Damn you for pointing it out to be.
Does anyone else find the angle of the camera to be a bit odd? When looking at it, in Portrait mode, like for a Hangout .. The angle towards you seems to be slightly "off" - anyone else?

are u really trying to find small things to complain about this phone and post it on here?

Mines a tiny bit off like yours but photos come out fine so I don't care. Not going to replace something that's a non-issue for a potential real issue.

I don't complain much, but I'm with you on this one... Sadly, its just something I've come to expect on smartphones now days. I never understood why everybody puts the front facing camera off-center. WHY put it on the right or left side of the phone (when holding in portrait). Placing the camera off center like that makes using the front cam for video chats annoying, because when our holding the phone in perfect alignment to see the screen, the camera isn't center on you, so you have to move the phone so that the camera will be center on you and then the screen is not. Why can't they just place the camera at the top center of the device, above or below the speaker? Or at least a lot closer to center.

I'm sorry but I just don't see it. Because of the distance and degree of movement required (if any at all) it's really NOT an issue if the camera is off-set and not in the center of the phone.
Case in point, I just tried it. When looking straight at the headset grill and point that towards me, I'm dead center of the screen. The camera itself already takes into the account of the left offset in portrait mode.
Did you try it?
Most if not all who test this right now on the phone will see they are well centered when viewing the screen straight on...
That's why a lot of phones still off-set the camera to right or the left because it's a NON ISSUE

Haven't tried it on the Nexus 5 yet (it's "Out For Delivery" so it should be delivered any moment now), but on my HTC One if I did exactly as you described by holding the phone directly in front of my face looking straight at the headset grill, my face was not centered on the screen image. I had to line my face up perfectly center with the camera lens for it to show my face centered on the screen. This was with the phone held in one hand at a comfortable distance for video chat.

Mine is off center as well. First thing I noticed when I got the phone. It seems to be working fine so I won't RMA it but it does bug the crap out of me when I look at it.

Looks center to me

Volume button, soft keys and camera?

Hey there. I bought this phone today and I love it. However, I have a couple of couple gripes with it, but am not entirely sure whether it's just with my phone or the Incredible S in general.
First off, the volume buttons appears to be flimsy. I mean, yes, it's very thin and I'm not totally used to it yet, but I've noticed you can moved it from side to side slightly. This is the same for the power button, only not as noticeable.
Secondly, the soft keys. I get that they have an LCD display to make the buttons rotate, but on the search key it seems a lot brighter and a bit blurry, and I'm able to see the rotated magnifying glass underneath the non-rotated button. It's not as bright as the 'standard' non-rotated button, but it is noticeable. When I rotate the phone and the buttons rotate I'm unable to see the non-rotated magnifying glass. This is also the same, though not as bad for the back button.
And finally, the camera. I'm don't know whether this is a software/app/wifi issue, but I tested out Tango and Fring using the front facing camera and the back camera, and called my friend. He has an iPhone 4 and he came through clear. I, on the other hand (according to him at least) came through blocky and 'stuttery', with lots of pauses. Fring was worse, as the sound wasn't good for either of us, but the video seemed poor on my end.
So yeah, are my complaints common to all Incredible S'? If so, then I won't be too bothered, but I'm kinda worrying a bit because I bought the last IS in the shop, and when the salesman opened up the box to show me the phone, it didn't have any of the stickers on, and the screen had fingermarks on. He said that it was brand new, but they had used it to show another customer. I got home and tried turning it on, and there was no charge left in the battery. I looked in the box and all the chargers etc were unopened, though.
So yeah, what do you think?

Yes it is normal for the volume rocker to rock in all directions however don't let it fool you it is very sturdy and longer lasting than the power button. Never had an issue with the volume button however the power button will require more pressure to push over time.
As for the soft keys they do blur out and it all depends what angle your viewing them from.
The. Camera on. The front of the. IncS is a piece of crap only at 1mp, I'm not sure. What the iphones resolution is but I can guarantee that it's high seeing as they advertise video calls.

Another thing I've just noticed; again, am wondering whether this is same for everyone or just me (after the whole no stickers on the phone thing with fingerprints on the screen), but the micro USB port is kinda loose. If you tap it with your smallest finger, or if the charger is in it and move it slightly, the USB port moves.
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just a bit concerned if I've paid a a fair amount of money for a 'new' phone, when it's not and there's things wrong with it.
Thanks.
Everything seems pretty normal. Bearing in mind it is not a closed case like the iphone series, therefore you have to expect movement with parts of the phone.

My phone. Came the same way dude and yes the usb port moves on all of them it adds a bit of flexibility so it's not as easy to damage.
There is nothing to worry about. There was no plastic on mine and there was finger prints on it. The sales people generally boot them up once to avoid a waiting period when setting up your phone for the first time. They boot them up than shut them down so they can boot up fast using fast boot. The less time waiting for the phones the more time spent selling phones.

Modifying N7 camera angle

I've found Skype to be a bit awkward on my N7 because the camera is angled at 90degrees from the frame, rather than sloping towards the center of the screen. As a result I have to hold the tablet further away from me, but then I sometimes struggle to hear the audio from the back-facing speaker.
Has anyone else found this? Or, has anyone here heard of other devices where the camera angle has been modified, and how?
Thoughts?
Tilt the tablet slightly
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Pretty sure anything involving tilting the camera would be more trouble than its worth, you may be able to stick a small refractive lens to the front of it but not sure if anyone makes one.

Get a case. The speaker is designed to bounce sound if there's a surface behind it (try putting the tablet flat on a table). Or just hold it such that your hand cups the speaker and redirects sound at your face.

Thanks. I might take my N7 apart and possibly wedge something behind the camera depending on how its secured. A small adjustment to the angle would go a long way.
Will let you know if I am able to make any good progress on this.

He's obviously saying that tilting the tablet up a bit is a lot easier than screwing up something trying to modify the camera. I suggest looking long and hard at tear-downs before you attempt anything.

I know exactly what the problem is. And my suggestion is that the easiest way to fix it is to simply tilt the tablet to aim the camera where you want to aim it. Sorted.

I wrote that having the camera at a 90 degree angle to the frame makes for awkward Skype conversations.
Now this next part is critical as to why your suggestion doesn't address anything: If I tilt the frame, the camera is still at 90 degrees to the frame. If you don't believe me, try it.
I haven't pulled my N7 apart to do anything other than loosen and tighten the screws. Looking through the bezel at the camera I see what appears to be some space between the camera and the bezel. This might not actually be the case, but it looks like it is. If the camera is anything like the camera built into my S2 it can be slightly angled with some gentle coaxing. Given the narrow angle of the camera optics I don't believe the edge of the bezel would interfere by blocking part of the camera's image, either.
Perhaps a good place to start is the ifixit tear-downs per suggestion above. Thanks!
Cheers,
Had a look through ifixit, see step 13 on the below link.

Unfortunately, the connector appears to be on the wrong axis for easy bending / tilting. It would have to be twisted which doesn't work well.

Actually in that teardown, it appears to be attached via a really short ribbon that might flex a little...
So it may be possible, with the right application of something really thin at the front of the camera on the inside edge, and something at the back behind the camera on the outside edge might be enough to tilt it slightly for your purposes, something thin like a tiny slit of paper, or a tiny bit of sticker you could cut from a bumper sticker maybe.

Rear glass creaking near top of device

I made this comment in the impressions thread but am trying to bring more light to it...
Put your phone face down, rub your thumb on the upper half of the phone, does it creak at the top? Its almost like the rear glass wasn't put on properly on my device - it creaks like plastic. I'm really surprised by this since most reviews say the thing is completely creak free. And yes its somewhat annoying because I can hear the creaking more and more when I am just handling the phone....
Thanks
Edit - made a video.... now that its happening more often it seems to be due to the plastic/rubber trim (which goes around the phone) not fitting properly, its flexing between the front and rear glass. BLah, I wish I had a bumper to see if that would minimize the issue. Its very noticable now. I added a 2nd video on youtube.

No creaking at all from my device. The power button is a little wiggly tho...not as solid as the volume rocker which is kind of annoying, but not a deal breaker or anything.

This +1
Stand on your head and rub the left corner counter clockwise.... Do you hear that noise? Come on guys.... really?
But to answer your question no mine does not creak perhaps you should return if you rub the back of it a lot.
Nope, no sort of creaking with mine in any form, and the buttons are all very firmly in place. The whole device feels extremely sturdy and well built.

You're an idiot - I started the thread to get real comments...
As my original post says, it occurs in regular situations when handling the phone. There is a creak on upper half of the rear or top of the device. It's annoying to spend any substantial amount on a device and have it creaking when new. I'll try to make a video later.
The buttons are fine on mine though - no issues there.

I mistakenly thanked your post but that I feel the opposite.
We are on XDA and on the Nexus 4 forum, it isn't like the OP is making a huge deal out of it. He is just wondering if any other people have been experiencing the same issue.
People post on these device-specific forums to discuss about the particular device, people are well aware that there are things in life outside of smartphones without you having to point it out.
it is completely solid, power button doesnt wiggle, there is a bit of a rattle when tapping the top but thats the camera lens I assume (only rattles when tapping near the camera)
Yeah I don't think it should be creaking at all, especially since the back is glass and non-removable. As you said, it probably wasn't put on right. I would wait a couple of weeks until this whole order fiasco is fixed before calling about doing a warranty exchange.

It creaks under real world situations if I grip the phone on both sides to turn on power it will flex and creak. If I grip with my index finger on top of the phone and fingers on both sides on the top, it creaks.

No creak, wobbliness, dead pixels, shaky mic, but I do have that line in the top right in the plastic. I kinda like it, it gives the phone character.

Does the off center screen bothers you?

I never seen anyone talk about it, the screen on the N6 its closer to the lower speaker (i found the moto x also), is off center vertically when holding on landscape. Do you think it would bother when viewing videos? Not trashing the phone, it looks gorgeous, just to see your thoughts.
Lower speaker area requires less presence for sensors/use. Making the screen lower intentionally. The top area where your front camera, proximity sensor, and ear piece requires more real-estate.
Personally I do not find it that much of a bother. As long as the build quality damn good and everything works as intended I will be happy with it.

Thanks for bringing this up. I thought I was the only person who was getting crazy on this particular design choice. I would have liked a little centered screen as well.
i been using it for a week and found no problem with it
I always like symmetrical look on things, but i think this is less obvious that the logo and grey bar on my lg g3 or the flat tire look of the moto 360, after some days you forget is there.

It would if the screen is off-centered "Verizontally"
The fact it has dual front speaker is good enough for me. I have a S4, which rear speaker is god awful
8675
Not at all. it makes the virtual buttons become a part of the bezel. There are a few apps that do not support the full screen mode. Sometimes when playing games this happens. This makes it so if an app doesn't support it, the screen is still symmetrical.
Yes, off center screen looks awful !!
I hate unsymmetrical things
Nexus 5 is also unsymmetrical but in the inverse way .... the lower bezel is bigger than the upper one.
WHY DOES SOMEONE DESIGN SOMETHING LIKE THIS ??? :crying:
What bothers me is the orientation of the "M" and "Nexus" being different.

Hello,
I have the same issue. My Home/fingerprint button is loose from the center to the left.
When I push it, I sometimes here crunchy noises (rarely when I put my thumb on it which is enough to unlock the phone).
The home button and the fingerprint sensor are both working fine so I won't send it back for now but this is an annoying detail (I can't stop thinking about this when I look at my phone ).

I generally love this phone. The feel of the case is great and the glass screen is equally smooth. My only complains are:
1. Camera bump. I hate using a case, but I feel like I'm going to scratch / break my camera off because of how it sticks out of the back of the phone.
2. The sharp edges on the bottom, specifically around the USB port cut into my finger when I hold the phone.
3. While I think it looks fine on the Carbon Grey, the plastic strip along the top looks bad on the Silver version of the phone.
I don't think I would've ever noticed the looseness of the home button had I not read this thread. I never push on it, just lay my finger over it to unlock or go back home so it never occurred to me to check for movement. My screen is great (may have slightly color issues, but I don't really compare it to other devices so it doesn't bother me). The body of the phone to me also seems to be top notch. No chipping or scratches as of yet...my Nexus 6P chipped and bent rather easily and I tend to take care of my phones.

Perfect so far but I am disappointed with the black coating... a small drop and the bright aluminium shines through immediately... Why dont they mix paint with metal and then shape it instead of coloring if after ... its annoying watching those dents that are super visible just because it is painted :/
because you can just mix paint in with molten aluminum...
I have my 10 since yesterday and I am very happy with the build quality so far. The device has a premium feel to it and it is definitely the best quality smartphone I have ever had (including the iPhone)

Hello, I'm new here, I live in Germany, HTC is not so popular here , so I checked the international forums for information about my HTC 10.
I got my HTC 10 in August and I have the same problem with the home-button/fingerprint sensor. I'm anytime very careful with all my mobiles, so I have no idea why it is happen the same.
May I ask you it is getting worst with the home-button/fingerprint sensor since your last post here?
Sorry for my poor Englsih )
It feels and looks like an Iphone 3GS to me
this feel that every flagship phone should have
I have the newly released red one and the power button is a little hard to press, I kinda have to press it with my nail to push it.
