Hands on my new Nexus (how to...) - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Just unpacked my new phone today. I can't do some things:
1) The notification LED seems not to work the way i want. How do i configure that (colors, blinking time etc)?
2) How i remove and add some items to the notification bar, like GPS on/off etc?
THanks !

1) download lightflow from the play store.
2) They cannot be configured with the stock rom. Custom Roms have this ability. Alternatively there are a few apps in the play store that emulate the touch wiz toggles.

'Notification Toggle' on the Play Store is what I use. Doesn't need root or anything

get the following apps and you will be good to go:
1) lightflow
2) widgetsoid

I like how the responses that told the OP to search for such simple answers were deleted. Jeez, what happened to the "search first" rule in xda?

Locate your lost phone with SMS / Sick MUST have app: Tasker

I know there are threads on tasker, but i have to say, this is one sick app.
all you have to do is send sms with secret word from any phone and Tasker will enable wifi, gps, and send back a link to google maps with phone location.
That is amazing, but...
Pity the GPS, Compass and Google Maps implementation is completely ****ing broken!
I would definitely love to use this when (or if) the locational services ever do function. Thanks for the heads up -- I had no idea this existed.
There are multiple apps like "Where's my droid" that do this as well.

Maybe, but tasker does thousand other things. For me gps works fine, but there is a problem with compass

And doesn't 'where is my droid' only rings the phone if u send sms ?
If its not too long, would you mind posting your contexts and tasks to achieve just that exact same you just described? I'm trying to get better with the program although at a very slow pace
Thanks a lot mate!

Yeah i was interested in how you did it as well. I am just learning this tasker app and it doesnt seem that you can import and export tasks easily.

you can find it here: http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
the guy is using GPS only, but its pretty straight forward to include WIFI in this as well (WIFI is for better location without GPS). The time to wait for GPS to get a lock is up to you, I have 1 min.
and as you can see there is a profile there if you wish to lock you phone with SMS and/or play sound. (havent tried that)
For now I have these tasks: 1. If power ON, screen timeout is set to 45 sec (from 15), and lockguard is disabled 2. from 7:30pm to 8am screen brightness set to min and to AUTO other times. 3 Created a widget for "Vibrate" and "Bluetooth" since Vibrant is missing easy access to those functions (in a nice menu widget to save space). 4. I have several tasks killed at boot since they are useless anyway. (for this need to insert WAIT command with whatever time needed since some tasks start after the phone boots)
Thanks a lot for that link! Was able to create my own widget too now!

Read that Lookout drains battery, one of the features of Tasker is to actually save battery.

Any idea how to get this installed? I don't have it showing on my phone. Also, it shows it is only available in Germany and the UK. Do you have a work around to allow it to work anywhere?

Actually, since the latest update, you can hide the SMS.

SMS conversation view

Running
UNITY 3.1/V4_Kernel
Silly question.. but how do I change SMS to look like a conversation? Right now it shows all received on top and all sent on bottom within one contact... It looks like this:
rec1
rec3
sent0
sent2
I want it to look like:
sent0
rec1
sent2

Get GoSMS from the market. Wonderful App.
Thank...
One more question.. How do I stop it from showing me 2 notifications (the one from stock SMS and the one from another app that I downloaded (like goSMS))

Go to your Stock sms and disable its notifications through the settings menu.

Lol no problem, everyone does that sometimes

S-calendar and Google calendar

I am using both S-calendar and Google calendar: i like the homescreen widget for S-Calendar but I prefer using the Google Calendar app for managing appointments.
Considering that I do not want two notifications, I set notifications only in S-calendar with vibration and turned them off in Google calendar.
Problem is that every time i reboot the tablet, it resets the settings of both calendar apps: it removes vibration in S-calendar and enables notification in Google calendar.
Anyone else?
anyone?

Yea I had the same exact issue with mine. I realized that the 2 notifications in both apps are tied together. Meaning if you change one, it'll reset the other on reboot.
I wanted the notifications from S-cal and the googlecalendar app for management as well. I ended up disabling the S-Cal app entirely in the app management settings menu and instead using the google-cal app for everything. I dont think there is a way to separate the 2 apps.
If you find a way I'd like to know as well. Sorry I cant be more helpful.
This won't work on ICS builds, but if you have upgraded to JB 4.1 then in Settings - > Application Manager you can disable notifications on a per app basis.

yes this I know, my question was more: why upon restart the notification settings of both google and s calendar are set back to original values?
That I'm not sure. It shouldn't be resetting the setting on a reboot.

Can you make screen flash on email ?

At the moment I have to wakeup the Nexus 7 all the time to monitor email
You can activate notifications by sound and by flashing led. No need to unlock to see or hear. But to address your question, I don't know of any screen flashing app.

Oops, my bad. I'm so used to my Bionic I forget the N7 only has sound notifications. In the Gmail account settings you can set a sound notification for each message received, so you might be more likely to hear it.
Look in the apps section of xda, there are 2 apps, something like buttonled or noled. I'll post a link if I come across it again.
Here you go:

Buttonled won't work with a nexus, but try noled

Or just try Tasker, its hard to master, but whren you do, you can do like anything you want with it

Get Motoactv alerts as a pop up rather than in the status bar?

I want to get my hangouts notifications as an alert so that when I shake my wrist to check the time, I actually see them unlike where I used to need to pull the status bar down. No icons show up in my status bar unlike in standard android.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that will do what you are asking is Augmented Smartwatch pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alk.k9
You can configure pop-ups for all notification types with this app.
Before I buy this, do I need to have this on my phone? I'm using my watch standalone on wifi. Could I have it be connected to its self with the app?

No, this app pairs to the phone. I don't know of any standalone options for hangouts popups. Perhaps there is an app on the market? Unfortunately, I do not use hangouts............I just like popups for text messages which I get through Tablet Talk paired to my phone (only works for calls/mms/sms).

It's not specifically Hangouts, I just want every notification to show as an alert like in Augmented Smartwatch, but stand alone.
