Any comments on the notification LED? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There is an LED at the bottom of the phone, but there is a dearth of photos showing how bright it is or whether it can emit various colors. Any other comments out there?

Wow if there was led notifications it would be the perfect phone.

I'm really interested about this feature ! If anyone have an information tell us!

Pretty sure it's a similar RBG LED as the Galaxy Nexus, you can see it's at the bottom of the phone below the screen. At the vert least we know it's there as the manual says it is!

Take it for what it's worth.

I think the GNex set the standard on this one, the ED will be a part of the bottom bezel.

Bummer. I wish more people would center the FFC. Or at least angle the camera so you don't have to offset the phone while video chatting or taking pictures. The FFC on the Nexus 4 is all the way on the right.

Are they using the Galaxy S?

HOLY CRAP! those are definitely not iphones
too bad we can't see the front of it
but yes it does resembles a heck of a lot to SGS i9000
i'll not be surprised, since they are sponsored by Tmobile see jackets
ENHANCE!!!
right, look at the camera and headphone jack

also the USB slot
and the back speaker (it has a different shade than the rest of the phone)
it's definitely the Tmobile SGS
guy on the left probably saying something in german along the lines - "this xxxking GPS, what a joke", it thought i was in ......"
hahah thats def Galaxy S baby!!!!
The camera lens frame seems a bit rectangular instead of the squarish format of the SGS.
But it might be some aspect ratio distortion on the photo. They might be using the mighty Samsung indeed... especially since no GPS is needed there so a unit without one would still completely satisfy.

"Guy on the left" is Franck Ribéry, one of the best fotball players alive. His German is not all that fluent (coming from France), but may be enough to talk about GPS.

Screen banding (vertical lines)?

I was just wondering if any other owners noticed that the Nexus S has considerable more vertical banding than their previous handset.
My previous phone was a Vibrant and the Nexus seems much worse? Like when you pull the notification bar down you can see the vertical bands against the dark background or if you look at the background of the Gallery. It's very noticeable so I'm wondering if my phone is the only one like this or if it is a common issue with this phone?
Errr take a picture :S
Sounds like stuff related to pentile, and Nexus S not having the mDNIe part of the Super AMOLED screen, compared to other Galaxy S phones.
I saw the same thing...but its the touchwiz gallery has inhancements that make it look better.....watch on your vibrant pic an image side by side with your nexus....watch how when you click on the image it looks just like the nexus dose then it inhaces it where the ribbons dissopear....I've done it so I know...try it out

Noticed the same thing on my Samsung Focus.
It may just be the image quality of your picture, but mine is not nearly as bad as that. In fact mine is hardly even noticeable.
I exchanged mine with another one. The banding on my first one was more noticeable than the picture in this thread. The new has it a little bit but it is much clearer.

Looks rather creepy to me.
And I don't understand how a low quality and distorted iPhone is relevant to Android.

+1, No offense, it does look a little creepy, but cheers for the info.

Thats probably the eyes. Poser users want to see that there are poseable eyes in the figure, even though the google droid just has blank balls where his eyes are.
Rest assured, you can have solid colored eyes as well, and provided was green, white and black, the most common solid eye colors we see. (You can see that in the logo image on top of the first image.)
The phone behind him is actually a generic mobile phone... the point of it in the image is to solidify the fact that its the android robot in viewers eyes.
And no offense taken at all. The point of adding so many options to him is so end users can make him sad, happy, creepy, whatever. That maximizes the use you can get from him.
Gotcha. Cheers, great stuff, I wish you luck.

Image Retention on new S5?

Just picked up a new white S5 on Friday. Few days later, I am noticing a burned in bar on the lower half of the screen. I am not sure what to make of this? Could this just be an issue with AMOLED panels? It's not very noticeable unless you look for it, but it is definitely there. Would love some opinions on this.

Burn-in (uneven wear to be more accurate) will still happen in any AMOLED device. the technology has improved so it should not appear until quite some time down the road, at least it's supposed to have improved.
Any app that might have kept an static image for a long time there?

Well before venturing ideas, I'd like to get a good idea of what you are seeing. I'm sure that it is glaringly obvious to you since you know it's there now.. but your photos are not close ups or high res.. and you didn't circle the area or describe it in detail. Can you point it out or describe it better?
It might be exactly as the poster above suggests or I can think of three or four other possible causes depending on what the artifact looks like.

Camera effects

Hi guys!
As I said before, I come from a very large list of Xperia phones xD, and one of the things I miss more is the "selective color" effect, mainly to get photos like this ones
You pick a object in the screen, and just shows the color of that thing (and all the things with that color) and every other thing is in gray scale, first picking blue

}
and then green
U know if there's an app in the samsung camera that can do something like that? there is a effect called "Orange Kiss" but only shows orange/red things and can't be modified, so that one nope
If can't be in samsung camera, another app that u know that can be make something similar?
thanks in advance guys!
I think the Camera360 app has the selective color capability. You can check it out.

Thanks dude!
I found it, is called Magic Color filter, it does almost the same but on a predeterminated "effects" (U can't select the object u want), is good but not as Sony's, hope somebody else knows another one, but this is good too, thanks bro!
Anyone knows if using a different camera software will make lower quiality photos? I mean, I don't think samsung let another apps use their software process.....
