    Got my Priv yesterday, got it up an running, but noticed a few hardware issues that made me return it.

    1. The camera makes a lot of noise when focussing. A high-pitched whining noise. Defective actuators perhaps? Not taking a chance.
    2. The physical keyboard was unevenly lit. Some keys were bright, others barely on.

    Going to wait for a new hardware batch... and/or Marshmellow.

    Hmm, mine is charging now. Once I start to set it up later, etc. this will be interesting if I see similar things. Especially the camera issue...

    Use the camera is a quiet room and see if you can hear anything. Mine was quite loud. Honestly, best bet is to try it right away... why go through the whole setup process only to have to wipe and return it.

    Good move. That is too many problems for a high end flagship phone. Alot of owners are having no problems. You may have just brought a lemon.

    I assume people reboot if having any issue. And try again.
    I had a lemon of a iPhone 6 they had to replace once.

    Lemons happen to all phones, sorry yours didn't work out. I had to return one for bad display. Thankfully Amazon came through so back at it when I get home.
