I bought the phone from Google Play, yes. And I did tell them about the issues in detail, but they're still denying any issues with the button.

So today I noticed my Nexus 5's power button has sunk in - half of it is flush with the chassis, and it triggers at the slightest pressure. It also doesn't register all presses reliably, so booting into the bootloader was, ah, frustrating. Google Support helpfully told me that since it...

I can't nail down why I can only get about 3-4 hours of screen time and 10 hours of total off-AC time on my new Nexus 5. Screen generally accounts for 40% of battery usage, followed by Android System at 12% and Android OS at 8%. I can't figure out what I'm doing, so I'll just list everything I...
