Hi. Does the Nexus 7 have a notification LED on the front?
I haven't noticed any LED notification.

Yeah but that always freaks me out, thinking its going to burn my screen out. I know it probably won't, but I freak out.
Also why would one need an LED light on a tablet?

Why wouldn't you want useful things?
Out of curiosity, which tablets do have notification LEDs? I've tried searching but it's come up vague.
i've yet to see any tablet with an LED.
It's not needed as much on a tablet as on the phone with missed calls and texts.
NoLED should suffice just fine. And NoLED combats burn-in by having an option to move the notification around so it's never using the same pixel for long.
ive had noled on all s1 and s2 and s3 and i have never had any problems with it and now they have themes!!

I mean I wouldn't mind an LED light at all, but I see more of a use for it on a phone (unread text, missed call) than a tablet. I always have new emails so I don't know what it would really notify me of.

It will be useful for Whatsapp if we ever get a tablet version, with account linked to phone account.

I actually was thinking that, as I will be using google voice to text every now and then. Nobody I know uses whatsapp :/ google voice on iPhone is pretty slow so I'm looking forward to see how it does on the Nexus!

I always wished I could just look over without picking it up, to tell if I had something.
NoLED is really only for OLED screens, on an IPS it will run your battery bone dry in double time
Notification lights for things like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter
My HP Touchpad has an LED...
Idea, is it not possible to make a costum ROM with a function, "use screen as notification LED"?
I do not mind that there is no LED. I have a U20I thats runs so slow, that any replacement for android gaming is good for me .
My current tablet has capacitive keys and I use backlight notifications, so not having BLN will take a little getting used to.

NoLED has an option to not turn the screen on when the proximity sensor is "close", so you can just keep the tablet face down when it's not on the charger.

You don't need a custom ROM. NoLED will do what you want.
Without another unit to reference, I have to think something is up with my vibration motor. With haptic enabled on button press, I can't feel anything. I hear a very low, almost inaudible sound that could be the motor trying to work -- but I feel nothing.
How's your haptic response? Is it very pronounced or almost unnoticeable? I want to say I felt it much more during initial setup..
Also when switching the ringer from silent to vibrate, I do feel it (and hear it) but it sounds almost like a dying motor; very weak and unhealthy.
Am I off base here?

I've had my N4 for 3 days now and haptic response is as strong as it was at the start. I am constantly pleased by it since it was poor on my GNex! Vibration in silent mode is great as well so no unhealthy sound here. Sorry to be so happy with mine!

Yea, that's what I was afraid of.. going to try a restore (although I don't have much faith..) and see where that gets me. Short of that, guess I'm going to have to call Google for a RMA.
Sounds like a hardware issue.

Does anyone else have a really mushy vibrate in there nexus 4, I can here it spinning. It's not crisp like my old Galaxy S.
This thread title is very misleading...
In all seriousness, no.

Yep. My most irritating (and only real) issue. Something tells me they're all like that. You can only hear it when it's really quiet but it's super annoying.
I would recommend downloading FauxClock from the market. It is the app everyone is using to change then screen colors. It has an option to change the vibration setting. Default is 70% and you can see if it can be fixed.

RMA it OP..tell em the vibrator is not good and makes weird noises
There was another read I read a week ago stating that the vibration on the N4 is different from the other phones. I don't remember what it is exactly that I read but it was somewhere close to the lines that it feels more realistic or something. I probably don't make any sense right now, but it's working as intended not a defect.
I just increased the strength and it feels so much better now.

OP can flash a custom kernel such as Franco to change the vibration control.
Use their respective app to change vibration or use the free alternative, Trickster Mod (Play Store)

The Nexus 4 use a linear motor instead of the more common rotational, counterbalanced variety. It is quieter and much more controlled. I very much prefer it.

^^ What he said, pretty much sounds like the same thing I read. If I'm not mistaken, it might of been you who I read that from in another thread.
I prefer it as well, day one I used my N4 I was like wow this feels different but in a good way. I've been in situations where my vibration of my phone is so loud and I can hear it outside of my pocket. Sitting in class and not being able to deny the call or whatever.
I can't grasp how Google thought that a fricking fart under your fingertips is a good thing. Using faux now with vibration set back to 58%, it's far from the short burst I'm used to from the gnex but bearable. It could heal the washed out colors as well. Dunno why Google doesn't calibrate, it diminishes the value of their devices.

Thanks for the replies everyone I knew this was going to be a fun thread. Is there a way to change vibrate settings without root, or do I have to add this to reasons to root list.

Agreed. I notice the difference with the haptic feedback on all the key presses. I prefer it as well.
Actually, the first thing I commented on about the phone was how nice the haptic feedback felt when I first opened it up. I much prefer the linear motor in the Nexus 4, as opposed to the unbalanced rotational vibrator in anything else I've played with. It is tough to explain, but it just feels more controlled and clean.
Maybe mine is faulty then because it feels anything but clean. It doesn't feel like one pulse, there are lots of little after shocks.

If you get franco Kernel you can change the feedback strength (franco is 100 ... stock is 70).
Took everything in me to keep my reply PG :laugh:

Stock kernel also supports vibration strength change. Just download trickster mod and you can change it.

Don't know if this is supposed to be happening but anytime I play an audio file such as a ringtone or alarm or what have you, the sounds start off really quiet and then boost to their full volume after a second. Is there a setting I overlooked or is this by design? Anyone else seeing this?
Sent from my XT1575
Settings, sound, increasing ring tone option? Not sure if that's it or not.
I have caught this also where it starts off quite and then all of a sudden gets really loud but don't think it is every time.

Does it happen every time or on random? Some phones have in the settings->audio->fade in option.
Maybe its somewhere deeper in sound options?
Or esle, it could be some kind of software bug, hopefully not.
Hmm, it seems to happen more when I make it make a sound, like messing with the ringtone setting or volume control. Hit the volume rocker once and it's a barely audible beep even though it's almost all the way up. Hit it again and it blasts at full volume lol
Reboot doesn't do away with it

Yeah I've had this. Also the tone for notifications can be cut off short also. It's nothing major. I'm sure the next update will fix it.

Ugh. A very odd feature
Sent from my XT1575
Nobody mention that in the review, thats odd. We really need some quality in depth reviews.
Doesnt sound good (no pun intended).
I think it is some sort of speaker protection. I was playing music at call it 30% (it faded in). Then, as I cranked up the volume, it seemed to level off meaning 80%-100% sounded almost identical. Maybe an auto leveler/compressor to protect the twin speakers?
Complete speculation, your thoughts?
If you look at moto's official specs, they list something like "stereo speakers with smartboost". This tells me they have some sort of "feature" that dynamically controls speaker volume also.

This is how horizon light works...
Just pulses once when a notification comes...
Only one time...
Doesn't work as a LED notification...
Otherwise it will **** the battery

So you've got to check your phone on a whim now to see if you have a notifications. Brilliant design.

It's there a Magisk mod to make it persist say every 30 seconds? Or even choose which apps it works with? Having it pulsing overnight because a bit of spam got emailed to me would suck.
