I am very happy to see the new N7 has an led, but not it sure it changes color. I downloaded light flow but only got a white led notification. Anybody else notice this? maybe light flow just isn't ready for new device.

You are correct sir, its only a white led. Wish they spent the extra $0.50 for a multi color led. At least we have one and we can tweak it at that!

Ya I am rooted and messed around with light flow for awhile. Unless I was doing something completely wrong the new nexus 7 only has a white led as others have stated.

I remember seeing a green light on a Google promo video showing this device before it was announced. Maybe the controller is not the same and lightflow needs to update.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Even the nexus 4 is only white on a stock ROM. Once cm is installed, it can be tweaked. And yeah, I think lightflow needs an update.

Sorry, on a black background you can see the glow of the light bulb as to form a stain?

It looks the same as every IPS monitor ever.
Great color, great brightness, but mediocre blacks when viewed from the side
If you mean light bleeding or bad panel uniformity, yes most (if not all) have that.
R: Question on display, please
And so the infiltration of light from the top of display is normal?

Yes it's normal on IPS screens. The degree that it "infiltrates" varies between devices. my First Nexus 4 had backlight bleeding that was more obvious then the replacement device I have now. The replacement's back light bleeding is barely noticeable.
I've owned various devices with IPS screens
Asus Transformer TF101 (I've handled about 5 different devices)
Asus Transformer Prime (handled about 3 devices)
Asus Transformer Infinity(handled just the one I owned)
LG G2X (Had multiple replacments)
Nexus 4
Nexus 7(handled 3: 2 32gb HSPA+ and 1 16gb Wifi)
All had some light bleeding to a certain extent or another. Some being much worse than others.
I have a RMA for a 3rd Nexus 4 (The one I have now I love, hardly any backlight bleeding and everything is great except there is this one dark vertical line from top to bottom of the screen that you can see on white/gray backgrounds. My original Nexus 4 didn't have any of that)
If my 3rd has worse backlight bleeding than the one I currently have I might just deal with the dark line on the screen on white/gray backgrounds on my current device as that's the ONLY thing that bugs me about it.

I've already tried out 3 brand new Nexus 4's, and they all exhibit light bleed around the top right corner.
I know, I know; I'm being obsessive or nit-picky. But, just humor me for a second, and chime in on the topic....
Anybody got a Nexus 4 without any lightbleed whatsoever? You should be comfortable around 30-50% brightness and have no uneven backlighting around the top border....
Does a perfect Nexus 4 even exist?
Thanks fellas
No bleeding here

Minor light bleed at the top & bottom.. although it is very minor. I really have to try to see it. I would say for a normal person, they would think it has "no light bleed". But to us perfectionists yes it's there.
I know this is asking a lot, but would someone with a perfect device mind posting a pic with your brightness turned up with your notifications dropped down?
No bleeding here either and I'm on Rev 11

Lots of light bleed here in the top right corner. Nov 2012 version, rev10
Don't really care though.
No bleed and I bought mine at an insanely bright tmobile at sunset.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Maybe for some of the people who say they have a perfect device, just dont notice it or their brightness is too low..
someone, please, put my OCD worries to rest and snap a shot of your phone with no lightbleed with the notification dropped down with at least 50% brightness.
I will be in your debt.
Is this what your looking for? Sorry I'm half ass sleeping right now.

Thank you sir. I now know that a perfect Nexus 4 exists.... not sure how to get one though, ha.
My Nexus 4 just arrived and while playing with it I noticed that the notification LED was nowhere near as bright (50%) as my Nexus 3 (Galaxy Nexus). It also flashes at a much slower rate than the GNex!
Is this normal?
Can anyone else confirm this please?
Yes its normal.

Is there anything I can do to make it brighter?
It's really hard to see the light in a bright room and the reduced frequency means that the notification could be missed easily.

Nothing you can do to make it brighter. You can install light flow form the play store to customize colors and frequency.

Adjust your brightness settings? flash a custom rom that gives you more control of your led light???

Just install light flow mate. As someone else said you can have a different color for each notification and you can set now fast it blinks.
You can even set the light to be solid so it doesn't even blink.
When you set colours they are a lot easier to see than the white ish one that's stock.

Light manager works well too. I like it better than light flow because it doesn't drain as much battery
These apps from the playstore drain too much battery. You can get almost the same control over your LED if you flash a ROM like CM or ParanoidAndroid, you will find the preferences for LED under display in those ROMs

Because there is no need for, you see the notification in the status bar anyway and maybe in a widget. Notification lights only work with screen off afaik.

Google should not. Its pointless for the everyday user to have a LED going while screen is on. Everyday user means, everyday user.... not someone who hacks their phone.

Theres other ROMs out there with Halo that isn't Paranoid Android. Carbon Rom being one of them doesn't have all the DPI change and all that.
Maybe people should stop daydreaming about LED while screen is on lol sorry, was a minor joke.
Try out Carbon though, it has Halo [you have to flash the right build] and appears the same as CM/AOKP/etc.
