Breathing notification light? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys! I just bought a Nexus 5 yesterday and flashed CM12 on it. The notification light only blinks. Is there a way to make it breathe or pulse(whatever you call it)? I remember my friend showed me a while back on his Nexus 4 that the light was fading in and out. I have tried Light Flow and it didn't solve my problem. Sorry if this has been answered before, but googling for hours and searching xda did not give me the results i am after.

No one? Is there no such thing?

LED notification and brightness for stock 2.3.4?

On the new stock 2.3.4 that was just released, there are 2 features I miss greatly.. one is the dimming of the led lights.. and the other is using them as a notification. Has anyone found an app that works? I did find 1 notification app but from what I read, it sucks the battery down cuz it flashes.. can't do a steady light.
Thanks !
Did you try LG Touch LED Notification? It has steady light option.

Try LG Optimus 2x Touch Key Lights. That really works to adjust to light level of these touch keys =)

On the new 2.3.4.. every time I get a txt, my screen turns on for just a sec or 2... I can't find a way to keep the screen off on received txts.

There's a link in the thread I started about the application for notification toggles in this sub-forum. As to your question about the text things. Your phone lights up while you're texting? That's kind of normal don't you think. The screen coming on when the text comes in is a stock messaging thing. Nothing that can be done except installing a custom messaging application, as far as I know, I like that it lights up.

ha, not while i'm texting... duh, the screen would need to be on for that, haha. When I receive a text, the screen turns on. The other day I was txting with a friend then I got into the middle of something and she sent another 5txts.. and the screen kept turning on. Pretty wasteful on the battery..

[Q] Lock screen unlocks just by tapping

I was wondering if anyone has come across this before. Instead of having to slide to unlock I can touch the screen anywhere and it simply unlocks the phone. I want to have to slide to unlock. I have not installed any kind of 3rd party lock screen app. I have the HTC One. I do have a custom ROM but I have not altered any of the lock screen settings.
Thanks for the help all!
Cheers

Unfortunately not. Still searching the web and hoping someone on these forums has a solution. If I do manage to find a fix, I'll post it here. Please do the same
Can't find anything on the web. Funny enough everything out there explains how to make this work via apps. I know this problem has nothing to do with an app.
Fixed it.
For me it was the pebble app. I turned off it's accesability option.
Check accessability on you phone under settings, see if anything is enabled that could be causing it. Worth a shot. Worked for me.

Nice man! For me it was the light flow app. So that sucks. I wonder why that causes the lock screen to behave that way.

Now just have to figure out why the apps don't want to play nice with the lock screen.
Are you running a custom ROM or still on stock?

I posted a similar question myself and was redirected here. I had Tasker and Pebble in the accessibility menu and my slide to unlock became touch to unlock. It would be nice to know why the apps dont play because now I have to choose between having Pebble and Pebble notifier send stuff to my watch, or actually having slide to unlock...

Definitely would like an explanation as well if someone out there has one.
No idea why an app could cause the lock screen to completely misbehave like that.
Can't find anything online either.

Haptic feedback a little noisy

Hi guys. Just received my Nexus 5 today and it has been working perfectly. Only thing I noticed is that the haptic feedback motor is a little loud. My other phone is a Nexus 4 and it's definitely louder than it.
Anybody else noticed this or maybe it's my device.
Thanks.

Did you receive a replacement? I have exactly the same problem but some say it's quite normal.
Stick with it, mine quietened down after a week or so, just like the N4 now... Maybe just needs bedding in?

To be honest, that seems normal to me. The defect with the vibration motor is only if it makes a clicking /chirping sound when typing. That signifies that the vibration motor had been fitted incorrectly.
Your video just seems like it's fine.

Light flow HELP ME

Why am I having so much trouble getting light flow to work? I just had it working fine on my galaxy Nexus so I definitely know how to set it up but no matter what I do it won't work.
Are there any special settings I need to turn on or off?

Make sure Light flow is checked in accessibility settings. So currently, having an "always on" notification for any one setting will mess with the other settings. Dev is working on a fix. other than that it should be working.
What exactly is happening on your end, you didn't give a lot of detail?

No prob. I emailed the dev, he says he is working on a fox, so it shouldn't be too long now.

Yeah for sure. The main reason I thought I was doing something wrong was because Droid life posted an article that gave me the impression the "always on" was working.

You should be starting to get the update now. I've done a workaround for always on as the LG drivers just don't accept it. I'd class the "always on " option for the Nexus 5 as being "almost always on"
Updated the app now, will see how it goes
I still seem to be getting notification light illuminated after the notification has been read.
Addmitedly I don't have it running as a foreground service.
Anyone know of a way to get rid of the lightflow notification in the pull down shade? I like to keep that area clean for notifications. I know other apps offer an option to disable that notification.

Uncheck the option that is "Run as foreground service" or similar.

Does that disable the app or any of its features?

Rings Extended - Can't select OK

Does anyone else have issues with Rings Extended? I can't seem to select OK after selecting a file. Cancel button works still, but pressing on OK has no visual feedback nor any action. Tried on gf's Nexus 4 with KitKat and it works fine. I've tried on different roms on my Nexus 5 and it is not working properly.
