So I actually posted this in the RMA thread but it just got lost in all the posts. Plus I can't find it posted anywhere else.

First two phones I had were 310k, both had faults and had to download the patch before using the phone.
My third phone is 311k, no faults and it came with KitKat preinstalled (no patch to download)

To check what build (batch) you have, look on your box where it shows the model #, imei # etc and look for S/N. The first 4 characters = build #.

I'm going to try and keep a log of all the build numbers and see if there are any changes to the phone like with the Nexus 4.

So.. so far:
310k - Need to install KitKat - Seems to have quality issues from my experience
311k - Preinstalled KitKat - Quality control seems better

This is just based off of three phones though. More information is needed.

Haven't noticed anything. I have both builds in my hands at the moment. 310k will be shipped back to Google tomorrow.

I got mine from sprint and it doesn't have the s/n on the box. I wonder how I could check it.

Did you have to install a patch before using your phone? If so its a 310k build.

I got a 311K yesterday - no update was needed.
- The camera is slow
- Vibration is weaker than my Galaxy Nexus, but still noticeable when it rings in my pocket
- The speaker seems pretty loud to me. I can feel it vibrate a bit when I play music

    Got a 401k. The speaker is so loud it blew out my windows, screen is so sharp it cut my face, buttons so firm they can't even be pressed, and the camera is so fast it took a picture of tomorrow!

    Gonna have to RMA though because the earpiece speaker has 27 holes instead of 28. Get your **** together LG.

    I see. Thank you for replying. It looks like people get more 311K units with dusts under screens. Two of my friends had perfect 310K screens but RMA'ed because of a little loose power button. They both received 311K with dusts under screens and noisy haptic feedback (worse than my 310K). They are really pissed.

    All N5 comes with KitKat. The update wasn't from JB to KitKat!
