Keyboard and other elements shadowing normal?

Hi,
My nexus s is new and since day 1 i just use it with 0 brightness.after hours of exploring, i noticed that when i open up the keyboard for more than 10secs and drag down the notification bar the keyboard boxes can still be clearly seen.its like a shadow of the keyboard imprinted in the notifiaction.noticed this in market as well when searching for apps the keyboard shadow can be clearly seen.also more than 5 sec static on your homescreen,after that i drag down i can clearly see the icons shadows in the grey notifocation bar. Is this normal? All of you have this behavior when on 0 brightness?or do i have a weak display?its kind of annoying sometimes.

Its sort of a burn image. The blues fade out and get a yellow haze. You can test this by displaying a blue image for example google image blue and zoom in. Auto brightness and sleeping the ohone when not using will keep the colors rich. I had a vibrant that did the same thing.

Sucks but it cant be fixed without replacing the phone/screen

Are you using voodoo colors?

Let's settle this: Is there a notification LED or not?

It seems that some say yes and some say no. How could this be so ambiguous. Can someone with the device verify this in any way?

Yes there is. It is located on the bottom of the front panel. You have to enable the notification using light of course. I did find it odd that they did locate the light down there.

Yes there is! With Lightflow you can change the color of the notifications as well

Yes there is and it works well for me without the need for an app.

Why is it odd that it's down there. That's the exact same position that is at on the nexus 4.

Mine flashes blue for chomp which is the colour I selected, it flashes green for whatsapp which is the colour I selected and it flashes white for gmail. I don't have and led control program installed.

Works fine without app for me using rastakat rom which has a few color tweaks!

Yep, it's got a multi color LED.
Really easy to miss, though. It only flashes once every 10 seconds or so, which is pointless for a LED notification light. It's easier just to unlock your phone and check for notifications, rather than sit around for 10 seconds waiting to see if the light is going to blink or not.

LED manager works great too.

it was on the bottom for the galaxy nexus as well
it is odd because most phones have it on the top right corner or around there...the nexus lines have it on the bottom

I've been having problems using Light Flow with my N5. Hopefully an update will fix it!

[Q] screen is shaking/vibrating

My screen is shaking or vibrating just a little. If I go to the stock recovery and look at the highlightet text I can see that the text is vibrating. Am I the only one? It is barely noticable during a booted up system, but it is anoying.
Do you have a solid screen in stock recovery?

Yes

Yes wobbling, but just a little. You only see it when you stare at the higlighted text in recovery, but just the highlighted.

Probably my eyes is tricking me or I was not aware of this wobbling thing for 3 years, because now I see wobbling my optimus 2x's screen.

Try showing it to someone else without saying anything, you might only perceive it to be "shaking" because you believe it is there and are looking for it.

Red notification light on the nexus 5

I suddenly got a red notification light on my device with out anything doing in my device any answer to this?

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?

[Q] Black spot/shadow on nexus 5's screen

I have just received a refurbished nexus 5 and i noticed a rather distracting blemish on the screen under the glass (on the status bar to the left of the wifi icon), it's not a solid colour so i don't think it's dead pixels, it's more of a shadow and it's barely visible when the phone is in landscape but flip the phone portrait and there it is.
I have never seen anything like it before so it would be interesting to find out what it is and if i can fix it easily myself.

Sent it back and get another

It's a defect, don't waste your energy trying to explain it further. Send it back for a new one.

I have been waiting a few weeks now for the place i bought it from to get in some new stock but they haven't as of yet.
It would have been nice to know what the defect is and if it's easy to fix so i know if it's worth taking it in for repair
