2 Problems with my new Nexus 4!

**Kaspro** · 02-10-2013, 02:56 PM

Hello everyone, i just got my nexus 4 and i got two problems with it and i belive the two problems are Android-Related,

I guess the 1st one everybody talked about which is the Pulse Notification light, i tried the Light Flow app and it works great except for Whatsapp, anyway it should have worked without any extra apps.

The 2nd one is the Charging Indicator which is the Icon that shows the battery is charging, isnt that suppose to disappear when the battery is fully charged?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone.

I use LightFlow to control all my LED Notifications & it works great.

Thanks everyone.

No, it doesn't disappear. It's just full up. It kind of works like a bar graph: when it's half full the battery icon is half colored in.

If you can get to the quick settings (swipe from the top, press the button that looks like a grid and a picture on the upper right hand corner) you'll see an expanded battery icon that will tell you the percent charged. If it's fully charged, it will say "Charged."

Hope that helps.

I don't have to install apps to control my LED.. In WhatsApp settings you would find options to change the color for each type of messages.

Well, thanks for your help, but i meant the lightning symbol that appears over the battery bar when is charging, i guess that should disappear when it's fully charged, otherwise maybe that phones doesn't stop charging when its 100% charge!!
And the Pulse notification light, doesn't work with Whatsapp with Light Flow or without it, and i think it should also work when the phone is charging while its turned off which it doesnt also!

Before I installed lightflow the whatsapp notification lights used to work, since installing lightflow, the notification light never works when i get a whatsapp message

Well i guess Andorid has this problems even before the Jelly Bean and the nexus, coz i had this two problems with ICS with my previous phone!!

I figured that with light flow you gotta go with the paid version to get much much more apps support like whatsapp, anyway i didn't expect to pay to make the led notification work!!!!

Ya, the Lite version version's limitations are listed on the Play Store. Paid version give support for hundreds more.

No it does not disappear. The lightning symbol is there to let you know that it is charging or connected to a power source. Easy way to show at a glance that the cable is plugged in. If you have your wall adapter plugged in behind or underneath something, like a desk, you won't see if it gets unplugged by accident, so it shows that symbol so you know as soon as you plug it in that it's good to go. Hope that makes sense.

To expand on the above posters point:
When your device is plugged into a power source adequate for charging it runs the device off the incoming current and uses whats left to charge the battery. When the battery is full it will display "Charged" under the battery sub-menu from settings. At this point the device continues to use the incoming current to run the device discontinues charging the battery till it drops to a preset % then goes back into charging mode. So if your Nexus4 has the symbol even while not plugged into a power source then return it the battery maybe defective.
