I think that if it's green the wifi is in use. If it's grey then it's enabled but in standby. I dunno for sure, but i think that way

it's white when iddle or shortly no reception

Green: wifi established and connected/syncing to google services
Grey: wifi established but not connected to goog services/syncing, internet/network should still work

green is connected to data and google.
white is connected to data only.
grey is not connected to data or google.

hasnt this been asked like a bazillion times? i think its up in the FAQ sticky at the top.

[Q] miui logo disapers

Why does my custom carrier always disapear when I open my phone after being locked on miui. I always have to toggle the carrier logo tab to see it but once my phone screen locks and I open my phone back up my logo is gone.

Do you have any notification or background apps using the top left of the status bar? My juice defender notification always hides the carrier text, but not seeing "MIUI" (the custom text i put) never really bothered me lol

Sweetness, that worked. So basically if we want the custome logo than we can't have anything running on the top left side of the status bar?

I haven't really looked into it but ya pretty much, must be a bug or something in extended settings. That's the main reason I never got around to DLing a logo, I like my notifications lol

LED and light manager.

Is it just me, or can nobody else get Light Manager to work properly? I've enabled access to notifications, but despite the fact I set WhatsApp to green and Facebook to blue, they both flash white.
Simply a bug in the app due to a new version of Android, or something more sinister?

Same here only see it all White Maybe Nexus 5 only have White Light?

No, if you test a notification, the different colours all show up. I'm wondering if the way they have implemented notification access has changed slightly then, or if there is some kind of global override I can turn off....

Light Manager has never worked for me. It doesn't matter what color I assign apps on my Note 2, Light Manager just assigns them whatever color it thinks is right.
Give Light Flow a try. The N5 definitely has a multi-colored LED

Appreciate the suggestion, but Facebook and WhatsApp require the paid version to work, and I'm not paying to test it to discover they don't work on KitKat yet.

You should try Lighflow. See if that works better for you,

well try lightflow ... only get white notification light

I'm a derp. Nevermind.

Anyone noticing burn-in?

I just did the KitKat up so my notification bar went transparent and now I'm noticing some burn-in. My screen is always on auto and never left sitting around w/ the screen on. Is any one else see this? Opening th books app and letting it go full screen is a good way to test.

My notification bar is black as well.. and is only transparent on the lock screen. Are you sure it's transparent?
However, on topic, I do not see any sort of burn-in. I wasn't even sure that was possible on these types of screens? But I could be wrong.

can you check your android version and post a screenshot of your transparent bar?
i think maybe there is a second OTA going live.

Are you using nova launcher? With 4.4 it has a setting under look and feel to enable transparent bar
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you're on stock 4.4 you should NOT have a transparent notification bar...
If you're using Nova there is an option to set it to transparent

Guys, the transparent notification bar is not the default with 4.4. I have GEL but other 3rd party launchers like Nova also enable this.
OP, are you sure that you're actually seeing burn-in? The bar is transparent but fades to black.

Not that it's particularly relevant to the OPs question, but the KitKat update does, in fact, have the transparent status bar.
Unfortunately, what it doesn't have is the resized launcher to support it so it still looks black.

Red notification light on the nexus 5

Low battery perhaps?
(Do you have lightflow or another such app that controls LED notifications?)

My battery is still 45% at that time

Was your phone around any type of moisture? Or did it get wet somehow? I've read in some of the water damage threads that some people experience the red flashing notification light after it's been damaged from water.

No i dont think it got wet it was on top of a table and the room was cool and dry

Some apps use a red notification LED by default. I know my fiancee uses the SportsCenter app and it pulses the LED red when there's a notification.

i see the same happen on my G2, usually when i pull into my driveway and i connect to my wifi

I'm a relatively new nexus 5 user and am sometimes confused by what the color leds correspond to. Is there a tool that will indicate which app sends which color led signal?

I know Push Bullet gives me green notifications. I'm stock as well.

I think i found the problem its my zynga poker app that gets a red notification light

I am rooted but using stock rom.
Various apps utilize led notifications but it is hard after a while to remember which color corresponds to which app. I thought there might be a tool, not to modify them but just to list which app sends which color. But I guess not.
Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the LED light does flash red when the phone is charging, I myself downloaded Light Flow, which allows you to manage all aspects of the LED light, I like it much better than not having control over it . But like you said you did nothing, so must be just an app you have.

I wonder if an app that monitored the logcat could deduce who the heck triggered the light so you could at least find out what app was responsible?

You can go to settings-apps.Check to see what is currently running. What kind of apps do you have that run all the time?
