If the LED isnt working, take it back and get another one. You shouldnt have to settle. And what do you mean why isnt there a phone book? The is a phonebook just like all other phones. Contacts works just fine. You just must not be used to it. As for the pin for the tray, .....i dont see an issue. Thats on you if you cant keep track of it. I just leave mine in the box and i know where the box is.

Welcome to Android Central!
This is not supposed to happen with most Android phones anyway when they sleep. Some phones have a feature like this, like Samsung phones if they have a special case, but this is not a typical feature of plain vanilla Android.
It's probably too late to check, but you want to make sure that in Settings>Accounts-Google>[your Gmail address], that Contacts is checked on. If it isn't checked, then your Contacts in the cloud won't sync with your phone.
It's also not clear to me--when you say you have 500+ contacts, were those contacts on your old Sony phone, and they never made it to your Google Contacts in the cloud? Are you sure all of those contacts in your old Sony phone were associated with your Google account, and not the Phone Account? If those contacts were in the Phone Account, they don't sync with Google.
I must disagree. Remember that flagship phones routinely run between $600-800 retail, without contract. The Nexus 5 is a fraction of that at $400.
But this is a Google phone. Would you call iPhones too overbearingly Apple, or Windows Phones too overbearingly Microsoft?

My nexus 5 16gb's lcd went bad within about 1.5 months of usage with no drops or water damage whatsoever.
It's the best phone I've ever owned but this issue has completely ruined it for me.

i tried changing sleep options and security options in settings, nothing happens.
UPDATE: restarted my phone, it now goes to sleep mode. i was scared to death, i dont want anything bad happening to my phone.
any idea what might caused this?

yes screen wont turn off automatically, i changed the settings of timeout, 30 seconds, 1 min, 2 min, etc.. no use.
also no apps were open, i closed them by going to the lower right menu button, and swiping the active apps. ( i think i should've closed the apps in the settings menu)

It may just have been some app malfunctioning. I wouldn't worry about it too much if it resolved after a reboot.
Do you have a case with a smartcover function (i.e., one that automatically sleeps the screen on closing, or turns it on when opening), or are there any other magnets around your phone? It's possible that magnets could be messing with the phone's sleep-wake sensor, although a magnet should actually put the screen to sleep, rather than keep it awake.

I have read cases where a magnetic field from very odd sources screws with the N5s smart cover magnets and really creates a mess of bugs.

Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.
I bought a N5 and within a day already returned it.
Here were the issues:
Screen too bright for night time reading.
Sharp edge at charging port rubbed my pinky finger raw when holding it.
Extremely slow when on WiFi (tested various WiFi connections) yet when tested, shows fast DL speeds. Unbearable.

Welcome to shoddy LG quality. HTC should make the nexus 6 seeing they did a beautiful job with the HTC one. What phone did you replace it with?

Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.
The brightness is a setting, and you can set it lower. The charging port too sharp? If mine had continues bugging me, I'd have slapped the tpu case on it I bought for $1.99. The WiFi is an issue some have had problems with, evidenced by a couple threads, but pretty sure most figured out what was wrong.
But if for some reason you just took a disliking to the device which can't really be explained, I hope you find something you like better.
I think the build quality and everything about the phone rocks. In my opinion it's the best phone I could have. I'm looking forward to the line continuing.

Isn't it interesting how experiences differ? My last phone was an HTC One and I couldn't get rid of it quickly enough. My Nexus 5 is head and shoulders better. It's also quite interesting that your post was from an iPhone 5s.

Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.
Interesting indeed. I chose this phone because it suites my needs best. You probably have the nexus 5 because it suites your needs the best. Come on though, the HTC one is much better built. There's no arguing that

No, not really actually. LG isn't the best for build quality. I'd give Samsung the edge and I'm not a huge fan of them either. Probably the best android manufacturers for build quality would be Motorola and HTC

There just seem to be many more complaints about Samsung build issues on these forums than LG (like problematic Home buttons, debris in the proximity sensor, screen failures), but that could always be proportional to the much higher volume that Samsung sells. In any case, I just think it's an overgeneralization to call LG shoddy based on what is likely to be a small sample size. Show me actual numbers or percentages, and I'd be more willing to agree.
