Persistent notification to right side by battery? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to make some app notifications show on the right side near battery, Wi-Fi, ect? Like an IM app that is always in the notification tray.
Thanks!

It's possible. But unfortunately I don't think there are any roms on there that is able to do that. Personally, I think it would look kinda weird if it was on the right side.

[q] a notification center

One thing I liked about the iPhone is the notification center, is there any app that has the same functionality? Like setting custom notifications for each app
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I'm confused. Isn't the iPhone's notification center a crappier version of android's notification bar?

Most apps will let you set notification sounds, vibrations and light in the settings. LightFlow will let you do it too if you buy it. Is that what you want?

No I don't mean the drop down menu, I mean the notification center in the settings

Whereas Apple put it all in one place, Android has it in each app so you go into the app settings and set up the notification settings there. There is no 'all-in-one' solution to handle all notification settings although apps that sync data should have an entry in Settings to go straight into the sync settings

remove wifi on notification pulldown?

When im connected via wifi., it shows up on my pulldown. .any way to remove that? Thanks
I too find this to be idiotic and annoying. It's the icon in the status bar seriously not enough? AT&T/Samsung really bloated this thing up like never before.

Yeah seriously annoying !
That's an at&t thing... It's been present on past phones. e.g. The sgs3... The at&t variant had that annoying notification that all other variants didn't.
Oh, no Verizon did it on the GS3 and I hated that crap. Every time I dropped down the menu I would hit WiFi and suck the battery down. PITA.
Hopefully when some developers get hold of this thing, they will find a workaround. Just takes up space.

Strange cause my i717 og note doesn't show this on ICS. What a waste of space!
Things that need to disappear - FAST
- Wifi Connected persistant notification on the Ongoing Notification pull down
- Smart Stay / Pause / etc icon on the notification bar (at least the SIII would only show this icon when in use, not all the damn time!)
- NFC icon on the notification bar (why, God, why)
Other than that, I love this thing! Definitely a huge improvement over the SIII, IMO
I actually find this useful because I have att dsl for the most common use cases and cable for low latency lag free gaming (farcry 3).
It's really quick to switch between them with this notification.

No one here is talking about the toggle switch.
And btw if you long press on the wifi toggle it goes to the wifi setting
I wasn't referring to the toggle. If I touch the notification wifi connected. Which is in the drop down notifications. It takes me to wifi settings where I select the ap I want to switch or connect to.
I am running holo launcher hd.
Not sure if that makes any difference.

That's the point long press on the toggle gets you there it just takes out notification space annoying ...

It has a Pulse Notification Light!

You have to enable it under display settings, but it does exist! Sorry if this is common knowledge.
Was enabled by default on mine
I thought a feature of 4.3 was a notification on the screen that would pulse? I would honestly rather have that feature.

Strange. Maybe some of my previous device settings were imported when I logged into my Google account.

That appears to be a Motorola-specific feature, not baked into 4.3. Granted I would not be surprised to see that feature become standard in a future version, but it isn't right now. From a user front-end perspective 4.3 changes almost nothing.
sucks though it's only white. can'tdo other colors with light flow

It's a notification light blinking like on the galaxy nexus or nexus 4.

Is it white because it's only white, or is it white because LightFlow hasn't been configured for the RGB LED yet? I think (and hope) it's the latter.
not sure.. hoping for the same!

How can I test this?
Mine was 'enabled' via display settings, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've received email notifications, but I don't see any indicator lights. Am I missing something?

From playing around with it, it seems it only pulses when the screen is off. If you get an email notification and your screen turns on, it won't show. Try waiting until the screen dims after. It should be near the base where the charging port is. I almost missed it since it's so low!

I have the same issue.. doesn't seem to be working with my notifications.
Try this app to see if your light works or not. Mine works, but only white

Thanks. I was able to force it on with the app, so I finally see where it is located and can verify it works.
I have to say, I'm not to impressed with it. It's so dim that I don't think I would notice it unless looking for it. The notification light on my phone is about 100x brighter.
Mine seems to be broken. I tried this app and turned off the screen and I still see nothing.
It also has speakers. Test them in poweramp music player with high volume.
I didn't have to enable it either.

Anyone come from a nexus 4? I have both now and can't decide.

Just got my g2 this am and its not that I'm disappointed I just don't know if its worth the full retail I paid over my nexus4. I'm moving to India in a few months so lte does not really matter to me.
Anyone come from a n4 to the g2 and have any insight on what you are enjoying more about the n4?
*not a fan of the lg skin but figure its just a matter of time till we have aosp roms.
Picture comparison between the two

I am considering the same thing. Can you post pics of them together? I may wait for the nexus 5 but think i like the buttons on the back and bigger battery. I hope the bootloader is able to be unlocked.
Sure give me a few and I will grab some pictures.
Overall the nexus feels better in the hand to me, love the back glass feel, I don't mind dealing with stock for a couple weeks as long as that bootloader becomes unlockable and we get some aosp action.
Re: the buttons on the back, I don't mind em one bit and actually like em but I don't use volume up/down much on my phone anyway.
My phone is on back order, but I'll be giving my wife my Nexus 4 so I can't comment on that decision, but I'm definitely keeping the G2 for myself. I played with one for a few minutes and I'm sold.

Thanks!! Really loving the bezels. I see you hide your onscreen keys on the Nexus.... Decisions, Decisions. I may wait to see if the new nexus is based off of this.
I've had a nexus 4 one and s4 in the last 6 months and now g2.. loving the g2, screen is better on the g2, way better battery life, snappier processor better camera.. Also aosp Roms will come in time... That said I will undoubtedly get the next nexus as I'm a gadget junkie.

I had them all too, but I find myself back with the nexus. Mainly for the simple things. I love the onscreen buttons and cyanogenmod mms with the quick reply and functions. I would love the battery life and better camera though, .
Wow they really are close in size! The nexus screen looks great with the buttons hidden. Does the G2 not allow 3rd party wallpapers appear behind transparent notification bar and buttons at the bottom?

I believe they pop back up when you tap the bottom of the screen.

It hides the soft keys and emulates them at the same time.. I have mine set to display when I swipe up on the bottom edge.

Eye detection issues

I'm having some issues with this, and thought maybe I'm not the only one.
Whenever my phone untouched or I'm reading something or whatever the screen fades because I'm not touching it. Then the little eye icon appears in the status bar.
Does this icon mean it's looking for my eyes or that it's currently tracking them?
Because regardless if I'm looking at the screen or not it turns the screen off shortly after that.

I am seeing the same behavior, but I would like for it to work. Will check around for possible solutions/ideas.
