it's only there when you're on your lockscreen.
It's there to activate Google Now
Can you imagine that this guy posted the latest CM nightly in the og dev subforum? Thread got moved to general pretty quickly since he isn't a CM Team member and the stickied rules state you can't post material you didn't make or for which you don't provide source. lol, "what is this circle thing"
Sorry that the above isn't helpful. I just don't think I'm going to forget the user name "theghazi" for a while.
Anyway, can you comment on what the other posters have said? Is it on your lock screen or in typical usage? You are probably referring to the Google Now shortcut. If you swipe up from a nav button, you can activate Google Now. I don't known what it could be on a lock screen. Could be the unlock threshold. I do to use a lock screen myself so I'm not sure what one even looks like.

If you are one of few people with a nexus 4 where the very left centimeter of the screen (top to bottom) does not respond, you need to RMA. At first it wasn't a big deal to me, but after using swype from the playstore, the letter Q was unusable. I thought it was just a screen alignment issue, but it is an issue with the phone itself. It can be shown using pointer touches in developer options. This is a picture of how far I was able to go to the left edge before response quit. This video shows what the issue is compared to a regular nexus 4.

Hey guys, I've got a nexus 4 coming tomorrow and I am really excited! However, there is one thing that kind of scares me... Do the on-screen buttons take up a lot of screen space? Also, what is the best way to deal with them.
Thanks in advance!

No, they don't use much space. Some people like to use the PIE instead, I personally turn on expanded desktop on CM10.1 and downloaded a gesture control app. Works pretty good, esp. because I didn't like the PIE
Haha mine is coming in tomorrow too! Along with the wireless charger and cases I bought off of Amazon!

Theres not really a "best" way.
Why not just use "fastboot flash recovery" to install it? Its probably the most efficient and direct way to go about it.

The size and alignment of on-screen buttons is perfect with respective to screen size. However, you can change their size also after rooting the device.
Do you mean flashing it through like twrp?

The navbar?

Honestly you can adapt to both options, I used to use it normally and now I am using pie

T-Mobile lied to me... T_T
They said it would be coming expedited next day but they sent it ground shipping... Won't be here till Monday or Tuesday! Lame.
I prefer the navigation bars over pie. If you use a custom rom with the feature then you can adjust it's size so it appears smaller on the screen.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Flash a custom ROM and adjust the size of them. I personally think the size of the Navbar on stock is hideous, whenever I compare my phone to my friend's stock N4 I think that mine just looks so much cleaner with less black space at the bottom of the screen. 70% works perfectly for me, not too small but not intrusive either.
Just got mine today! Love it so far!

The screen buttons are about a quarter of an inch, which imo is fine. Coming from an s3 I prefer on screen buttons over physical buttons any day and will be a deciding factor in buying any future phone.
Yeah on screen a really more responsive in my opinion. Find myself only having to hit them once unlike my s3.

Thanks guys for all of the info, really excited for my phone to come... Coming from an HTC One S right now and I really like being able to have my recent apps key double as menu on short press and recent apps on long press... Would that be possible with the onscreen buttons?
Sorry for the double post, just wanna say that it arrived last night and I couldn't be any happier on a work day. XD
I don't find them intrusive at all even on the default size, but then again I migrated from an 800x480 phone, lol.
They also auto-hide when playing videos - tapping the screen during the video brings them back again for a few seconds.
Flashing a custom ROM is great for customizing the buttons and what they do. I find that I prefer a menu button over having to hunt for a 3-dot overflow, and I also find a search button useful for quickly bringing up the address bar in the browser so I can type a URL. So thanks to CM10.1 I was easily able to reconfigure the onscreen buttons - I now have Back, Home, Menu, and Search from left to right. The Menu button doubles as a Recent Apps Switcher when longpressed.
What is annoying though is that they are easy to accidentally hit when using apps in portrait mode. I have inadvertently exited Carmageddon many times to my extreme rage :/
Hi Guys,
I just got my S4 in the mail yesterday and after adding my Google acct. I noticed I had the cutest bunny lock screen which cooed when petted, cried when punched, blow a kiss when lips are touched, sneeze when nose is touched, and sees stars when forehead is swiped was on my phone. If fed the carrot he spits it out but if fed the soda bottle the phone opens showing a bright orange/yellow version of his face before loading the home screen. (BY THE WAY HIS FACE KINDA LOOKS LIKE MOLANG)
NOW THE DILEMMA:
My 4yr was playing angry birds which for whatever reason froze the screen up. I could not get it to shut down, so after pulling the battery it just started up like new, asking for my language and Samsung account. After adding all accounts previously on I noticed Google only added the app that I added AFTER receiving the S4 (about 6 apps) and my cute bunny face lock screen was gone. I REALLY WANT THAT LOCKER> It is not in my list of downloaded apps in the Play Store and I have tried without fail for 6 hours to Google it in every word variation i could think of to no avail. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

It's not in the app store, which would explain why it's not in your app store.
Honesty, I don't think anyone in the xda forum would have anything like that, so we would have no idea what you're talking about.

For me, it still works, but not all the way. To turn the screen off, you have to knock on the status bar. Once the screen is off though, I can knock anywhere to turn it back on.

That is how knock on has always worked...you knock anywhere(normally towards the center) to turn on the screen and for me at least(ATT D800) you tap on the status bar to lock.
If you installed GEL wilk the LG transparent navbar and status bars go away? If not I might give it a try

With the stock launcher (at least for me) I could knock anywhere on a blank part of the desktop to lock it. I can confirm that knocking on the statusbar does lock it. Not quite as convenient, but not a big deal. Thanks to all who helped me figure this out.

Been running apex launcher since the day i got it... you can get knock on to work on your homescreen with apex if you download "Screen off" from the play store and from homescreen you can hit your menu key>>Apex settings>>Behavior settings>>Desktop double tap>>Launch app>>There will be two of them one is just "Screen Off" and the other is "Screen Off and Lock Configuration" just check the "Screen Off" hit ok and your good to go and the icon packs only make it better, sporting that 2.265 gHZ quad-core processor with adreno 330 its smooth sailing on apex and i experience no lag at all over all great experience with lots of customization to check out in the settings sadly no transparent nav or notification bars though... not a problem for me though
Earlier this morning my phones navigation was working properly... Got home to update to 4.4.3 and my Navs stopped working. I'm completely stock btw. Reverted back to 4.4.2 and still the same issue. Just reverted back to 4.3 and nothing. Don't know what else to do =\

Try this:
1. Go to Settings > About Phone > Android version 4.4.3 and tap on this several times until easter egg appears; this will hide your navigation bar
2. Then swipe from the bottom and see if the navigation bar is working
Report back!

Sounds ridiculous but I'd try flashing 4.2.2 factory image too. You never know..
I dirty flashed 4.4.3 flashable zip file from N5 port ROM and I faced similar issue, no nav bar and no status bar like immersive mode.
I retried with wipe data/factory reset, clean cache and dalvik cache solved the issue.

Digitizer issue, my friend. I hate to break it to you, but unless you can afford to spend on a new display unit, you will have a tough time using this phone. I have the same issue, and the best cost estimate I can get for the replacement is INR 5500 (around USD 100).
This is what happens when the digitizer and front glass are fused The whole damn unit has to be replaced even though the glass is totally intact. :FML:

Its kinda weird though because I went into the Easter egg and started playing with the tiles where the Nav sits... Worked just fine. They moved to my touch. =\
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Funny you should say that. My phone navbar seems to have started working fine too. Boy, this is strange!
(I'm serious. The navbar was totally unresponsive, and now it's working like there was never a problem)
But interesting coincidences aside: I would advise you to try flashing stock again. Not sure whether that will solve the problem, but if your digitizer is fine, there has to be a software issue. The fresh start should clear up that issue, whatever it is.
And one more thing: When you enable "Show touches" in Developer options, are you able to get touches to show up on the nav bar? If yes then reflash. If no, it is indeed a digitizer problem, and I have no idea how that Easter egg thingy is working out.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Almightiness so I figured out what caused this issue. I had bought a charger from the gas station not too long ago. The charger would make the phone Charging percentage Glitch so I tried it on my phone... Worked. After a while the home button would press itself and after I took it off it would stop. My friend was using it and he says his keyboard was pressing letters in different areas and he's never experienced it before.
I did the whole "show touches" In developers options and I can see that it can not recognize my touch. I glide my finger over the screen and stops on the top of the Navigation Strip. =\ fak
