Blinks every 10 seconds by default, useless. Use lightflow to control it with your apps

Mine only blinks sometimes with texts emails and so on. I know it's 10 second intervals but someone's it did nothing at all

Notification LED?

I'm assuming the nexus 5 has one, but I haven't seen what it looks like or where it's located while watching some YouTube hands on videos...
Does anyone know or have a have a pic of what it looks like/where it's located?

The notification light is at the bottom of the phone in the middle.

use an app like Lightflow to set up different coloured light notifications for different apps.. eg Facebook message will flash blue, sms is white etc.
I've yet to see my LED flash for any reason whatsoever

No but I don't for my nexus 4 either
Dunno what I've done but I'm getting a blue pulsing led for texts so that's a start

Does the pulse light work now?

Or is it a bug with the latest update

Mine works. Whenever I get a message, email, facebook notification, etc...
Did you enable it? Settings > Display > Pulse Notification Light
The only thing I miss from my S3 is that the Nexus 5 will not light up when plugged into the charger. Red for charging, green for done.
Use Ledblinker app and you can add those functions in as well as choose colours for any app notification

Light Flow does that S3 trick flawlessly.

A time vortex in the clock chip looks like to me
Thanks for the fast reply.
How do I fix that?

In all seriousness, I'm not sure what time we're supposed to looking at to help. I see some wake locks happening for a few seconds.
I guess I didn't explain myself well... It's a picture of my phone off charging for a few hours.... But if you look at the line above it says statistics 0s (even though the statistics themselves have some seconds) and the detailed statistics are totally off - Google calendar had 24 wake locks for 2 sec while Tasker is over 1000 but under 1 second... All my setting are constantly skewed and totally off...

Is it a one time event or did this ashtrays happen. I use betterbatterystats and I have seen something similar, but it's always a time event and goes away next time i boot or plug the charger in.
It's been like this for almost a week. I've rebooted multiple times and deleted cache.

Sorry about the spell correction, lol. Damn ashtrays. I guess the only thing I would suggest would be to uninstall and then reinstall the app. I would have suggested clearing the cache but you're already done that.
Here's a screenshot of betterbatterystats with a few minutes of usage... It's totally empty and it definitely shouldn't be...

Sorry sent the wrong thing... Give it time we'll see how that program fairs

Hmm, both are for 4.4 KitKat? 4.4 made it more difficult to get the statistics and bbs wasn't working for awhile. The new version does work. Maybe Rom related?
It's neither... I've had this ROM for 2 weeks now without any real changes and it just stopped randomly...
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
There must be something wrong with the phone or corrupt on the ROM... better battery stats is only showing one wake lock (nlpwakelock)... Grrr
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for all the help... In the end it's a ROM problem that a module in xposed can fix (except I'm on ART so I'm screwed).
Thanks for the help guys!

Volume rocker

I have a weird issue sometimes my volume rocker will just randomly stop functioning on the home screen. Works when I open a app but when I go back to the home screen it stops working again. It's solved by a reboot but seems like a regular issue for my at the moment. Suggestions?

Are you rooted? Are you running a custom ROM/kernel?
Do you have any kind of gesture control app or feature installed that could be doing this? Are you using a launcher that may have disabled the rocker?

No I don't. I actually haven't had this phone very long so I'm stock everything with only a few apps and games installed.
