Double tap screen on ? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Really loved being able to double tap to turn my screen on with my Nokia lumia before this. Is there a way of enabling it on the nexus. I've rooted the device

Many custom kernels support this. Have a look in the kernel threads. It is a huge battery drain on the Nexus 5.

Ahh huge battery drain, what a shame. Thanks for your help will check the kernels out

If you don't want to change kernels then You could also try out Touch Control : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.paranoid.touchcontrolfree
However, not all kernels are supported by it!

More like a fading flash ..if its possible..
I'd like to see that. I had a Nokia back in the symbian days that did it when I had a message or it was charging. I feel like I can never see the I4G's indicator.

I Know what you mean ... -_-I hope An developer sees the post and consider it
Works great on Ice Cold Sandwich 8.6.1.
They dont flash, but stay lit until you power the screen on. Pretty awesome!

I agree the led for the inspire isn't nearly as visible as I would like it. I think to have the soft keys have a "breathing effect" would really be a nice touch for missed messages.
Unfortunately I don't have the skill to program our phone to do this...

If you want that feature flash LordClockan's Ice ColdSandwich on the Desire HD section. It has that feature and works perfectly. Don't forget to flash the inspiremod!

LOVE this phone except for one nit picky thing

I'm in awe of the beauty and speed, and love just about every single thing about it. But one little thing bugs me -- the "retro TV off" animation when the screen is blanked.
Is there any way to turn this off?
I don't see an option inside Developer options nor inside Nova Launcher (I'm using beta with the KitKat customizations).
I know it's nit picky. Please don't flame me.

You need a custom ROM, most of them have the ability to edit or turn that off
Edit, this should be in QA

If LightManager works perfectly then what are you looking for in Light Flow? I'm using LightManager to control what color the notification light is for each different type of notification. If that's all you want to do then stick with what works.

Because Light Flow looks better and it has many more features ,one of them was Mixing the colours Red,Blue,Green (forgive me if I made a mistake on these colors)

Light Flow works for me but it has bugs. View the help website in the app and go to Nexus 5 page.

Light Flow works for the most part for me.
Only sometimes after SMS gets dismissed, notification seems to keep blinking, though may be a GO SMS thing, not reproduced it consistently enough yet.
I use this to set it up http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/2349
Lightflow worked perfectly on my Nexus 4 but on my 5 it's a little buggy. With the last update a couple days ago it's running much better though. I know the dev is working hard on getting all the bugs worked out and he's getting close. I'm using the paid version and I would recommend it because the developer is very responsive on a few of these threads and is actively working on making it better.

Hey guys I just switched from note 3 to nexus 5. Just want to know if this battery usage is normal? It seems like its dying fast.

You have to provide a little bit more information. Like time on, other usage.
I thought I uploaded the other photo.

I would say yes, who knows what your screen brightness was at even though I am sure it was probably at auto. Talking on the phone can drain a lot of battery.
Why note 3 to nexus 5, seems odd?
Well you did talk on the phone for a while. But Google Search is draining the battery more than it should. I would just reboot and do another full charge. Google Search was draining my Nexus 7 the other day and the reboot/recharge seemed to have fixed it. For now anyway. Android OS/Google Search seems to be a recurring bug. Unless of course you were using google now a lot, in which case it would probably be normal.

I really don't understand why BetterBatteryStats log isn't a standard response. Give us a log, and we will tell you what's wrong. Instead of guessing.

I did not hear of the app until you made that post; the man is probably still stock/non rooted/ just getting used to it.
Look under advanced settings under wifi and see if always scanning is on. If so, turn it off.

I had the note 3 I just wasn't a big fan of the build quality and the Samsung over lay of it. I always loved the nexus 4 and when I used the neuxs 5 in person I fell in love with the design and how smooth it was. But the battery is starting to worry me. I'm on cataclysm rom with Franco kernel r22. I have WiFi on with the phone using 3g only. I barely use Google search. The phone calls werent that long either. I just feel like the battery is being drained way to fast for no reason. I keep most apps closed after I'm done using then. I had greenify on and I have the kernel set to 1.7ghz. I just don't know what to do with anymore.

I have a note 3 as well and looking to buy a nexus to play with. The only two things keeping me om the fence is lack of an sd card slot, and the battery life issues we speak of here.
Do you find the nexus 5 to have better build quality vs the note 3?

Here are some screenshots I took.

[SHARE][APP][PATCH] DISABLE limiting brightness //THERMAL\\.

SHARING THE APP, ALL CREDITS GO TO TWEAKERS AND OPTIMIZERS ON GOOGLE PLAY, ANY ISSUES, PLEASE WRITE THEM IN THE PLAY PAGE OF THE APP LINKED DOWN BELOW.
FIX SYSTEM CONTROL ON DECREASED BRIGHTNESS TO PREVENT HEAT
The below issue is only present on lg custom roms from 4.2 and up, thermel controls the brightness to low it down to prevent heat, this app patches the thermal to remove some vlaues.
Some advanced users use the dialler to go to the hidden menu to disable the thermal, this app is very useful for simple and fast, also to tablets with no dialler.
Hey every one,
Today, I'm going to present to you an easy way to disable the auto lowering the brightness when in 100%, and make it sit for life-long...
It's an easy way...
I HAVE NOT DEVELOPED THAT APP!!!
Its BTW already there, but i want to share it with you guys!!
Q: What is it? A: its an app called "LGBrightnessPatcher"
Q: What it does? A: it restrict the system from getting brightness decreased, when slight heat.
Q: Require root? A: of course!
Q: Does it glue the brightness to 100%? A: No, you can adjust it from the brightness slider bar...
The app patches the brightness watcher and preventing it from changing the value when the screen gets 100% after an amount of time to let the device cool down, and not to get heat...
Other than that, the patching process would not take longer than 10 seconds!! and its totally safe!! i tested it myself!!
Instructions:
1. Root your device.
2. Install the app from the links down below.
3. Give root permission grant.
4. Touch on apply permanent patch.
5. Wait 5 seconds, got a toast massage?
6. Reboot.
7. Enjoy 100% brightness without limiting!!
Before download, let me thank the developer of the app, Tweakers and Optimizers who make that app possible!!
Its an genus app BTW!!!
Links, why? you'll find it in play store: LGBrightnessPatcher
Have a good day everyone! and get your G3 brighter, i mean stick at 100% all the time...
FEEDBACK guys, i tested it in LG G PAD V500, in stock 4.2.2 and 4.4.2, hope will work for the G3...
Press thank, rate...
15/04/2015: Looks like some folks have troubles installing the patch correctly, to fix the problem install busybox from play store.
