This is more of an ICS question, than a Galaxy Nexus question, as this same behavior occurred on my Nexus S. When I have multiple notifications in my notification bar, when I pull the bar down, they are in one order. But, before I click on them, the rearrange themselves automatically. This only occurs once, but I end up clicking on whatever is now in the place of the notification I was intending to click on.
Does this behavior occur to anyone else? If so, how do I tell Android to not mess around with the order of the notifications?
Hmm... I've never had that happen. They just stay in the order they were received.
Most of my ICS experience is with CM9 (which is currently on my GN right now), so it may have more to do with that rom, than anything else.
This happens to me sometimes.. then I'll immediately go back and click on the other spot but it'll go to it's original order... fooling me yet again lol

Have this happen often on my bone stock Galaxy Nexus.
Same here
Yeah, it didn't used to do this, but it started doing it recently. Not sure what I might have installed or tweaked to cause it though.
I know it's not from a Google Update since I'm still back on 4.0.2 stock.
Same here. It's been happening since 4.0.2 for me. Kinda annoying.
I haven't had this issue on my Nexus, but notifications are ordered by date. Some notifications gets updated. For example, whatsapp updating the number of unread messages and battery percentage/temperature notification.
It might be because one of those notifications got updated a split second before you pressed the notification.
I'm just guessing, but that might be your problem.

I've been having a a bit of a strange bug with my GN...
When i unlock and open for instance messaging app to look at SMS's...i see the screen dim a lot and come back again. If i open up settings screen dims like an LCD panel with no backlight. If i click back, screen comes back again or if i lock and unlock screen, all is OK.
I've done some fiddling about and it only seems to happen on apps with white backgrounds i.e. messaging, gtalk, gmail etc. If i open dark background apps i.e. phone app, settings or gallery it doesnt happen.
But for all those other apps when i launch them, screen appears to flicker (dim) and come back again...messaging is the only one where it dims completely in settings.
Has anybody else noticed this?
And more wierdness...in the messaging settings menu, if i scroll to the bottom the brightness goes completely and then comes back again, and starts flickering a lot...
maybe i'll try turning off auto brightness and see if it still does it...
I've had a couple of customers come in already saying they always felt like the brightness was on notch to low sometimes or just very dim. Considered it user error, just got my nexus in the mail and after set up brightness just dropped randomly to almost nothing...
soooo guess we'll see
ah well still did it with auto brightness off
wonder if i've got a borked phone or if others do it and they just dont notice...
EDIT: if anybody's interested in seeing it i've just uploaded a vid here
And i know i still have the front screen cover on...havent wanted to take it off yet!
Restored stone to factory settings this morning and i've not installed anything else or changed any settings (other than turning off NFC, wifi and mobile data)...and it still does it.
Think i might have a defective handset then...annoying though, it's only 2 weeks old but the place i got it from states
Phones that are faulty out-of-box as determined by our warehouse can also be returned for an extended period of up to 7 days from date of delivery.

So if i can't get a replacement out of them, what are the odds of samsung replacing it for a new handset?
Hmm pretty sure it's hardware, set desktop picture to something quite bright/white and sure enough when i was scrolling through the 5 homescreens brightness was flickering from one to the next...
What are the odds of getting a replacement handset after 2 weeks? :|
I had this same issue when I got my phone. I had a yakjuwx build in my phone.
Ever since I flashed over to yakju I haven't experienced it.
You may want to check and see what you have.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Mine is already running yakju from new :/ I might try re-flashing it tonight though just for the hell of it.
Is this not a bit weird that it happens only on bright/wight screens/backgrounds/apps? And that it's suddenly fine when you lock the screen...
If it was a laptop i'd be fitting a new panel to it but then i dont know what amoled's are like (especially combined with a light sensor)
Nope, still does it after a re-flash :/
Got a replacement handset now...
Like my first one, it was one of the early opened and re-sealed with samsung label handsets (and they hadnt put the battery door on properly, fingerprint on the SIM card slot!)
But anyways, waiting for the OTA update on this one
It's obviously running ITL41D and no OTA has come through yet whereas on my first handset it came through pretty much straight away.
Would the fact i've already had the OTA on one handset stop this coming through? :|
I read a little in a post with something similar, but daily I find my notification sounds (txt, gtalk, etc.) all just stop, said something about leaks, but it was late and I may have been dreaming :-?
So, I have tried numerous ROM's, currently running Venum Ice RC3.1.1, but had the same issue with other ICS rom's. I will look down and see a bunch of missed txt's, etc. Reboot the phone, all tone's come right back.
Is this a known issue (I am sure it is), but better question, is there a workaround for this?
Tnx
its a bug in the ics leaks.
known issue, no fix yet
I seem to remember problem arises after call if hit home or back lose notification. Need to let call screen revert to dialer then can hit home and not lose notifications. If you lose just make a call and do the above and will have notications again.

+1 this is currently the only known work around.
Iphone Notification, WP7 Notification apps from Play store used to fix this also. Not sure if either one still works or not though.

I use go dialer and I do not recall ever having this problem.
I have noticed that going back into a message string it will sometimes start me at the very top or the middle, causing me to have to scroll all the way down to see the last message and reply. Also my message notification tone doesn't always work. Sometimes its silent even though its turned on. Anyone else have these issues at all? Not a deal breaker by any means. I'm really loving 4.1 and am pumped for my Nexus 7 to arrive as well.

Since JB I've noticed that the calendar notifications went from signalling once to a continuous drone that rings and rings until the device is attended to. My alarm clock isn't even anywhere near this persistent.
I don't see any means to change this behavior at all except to turn off notifications completely.
This is not meeting friendly and happens to be extremely annoying when you have multiple devices.
Anyone know of a fix? Did I miss something? Or did someone program in this change and considered this absurdly long notification time an improvement?
No one has noticed this or it doesn't bother anyone?
I think that's hard to imagine...!

Really? That's very interesting. This happens on my Galaxy Nexus as of 4.1.1 and my Nexus 7.
It did not happen before my JB update.
Interestingly NO ringtone is selected when I "choose ringtone" from the calendar app. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Well that's it.
The calendar notification was some built-in and non-selectable notification. When using that notification it continued for over 30 minutes. After selecting a ringtone/notification from the list the problem went away and the notification file is only played once.
Strange behavior.
Hello. I purchased the Epic 4G Touch two days ago from Best Buy, and I've realised that the notification light doesn't work correctly. When it's plugged in and charging it glows red, and when it's done charging it glows blue. But when it's not plugged in and I get an email, text, missed call, voicemail or Gmail notification, the light doesn't light up. I've checked that SETTINGS > DISPLAY > PULSE NOTIFICATION LIGHT is ticked, and it was. I've unticked it, shutdown, R+R battery, rebooted and re-ticked it, and still I have no light notifications.
I haven't rooted the phone, it's basically as it was out of the box, on Android 4.0.4, FH13, using the stock messaging app, stock email app for AOL mails, and the Gmail app. I can't see in any of those apps that I have to turn on LED notification, so I don't know what I'm not doing correctly.
Second question is that the guy at Best Buy told me that I should install the Battery Charged Silencer app from play.google.com/store/apps/ details?id=cz.psencik.simple.silence so that my phone doesn't beep in the night when it's done charging, Well, that's all well and good, but my phone doesn't beep when it's done charging, and actually, I'd like it to -- at least during the day -- so how do I make it so that it does beep when fully charged?
Third, I've noticed that the phone's brightness changes occasionally, but only when I open the browser. It's isn't because of Auto brightness, because it happens when I'm stationary in a room where the lighting level hasn't changed (and I don't use Auto brightness anyways). I usually set my phone to be pretty dim, but the browser is often much brighter than that when I open it. When I'm lying in bed, especially, I don't want to get blinded or disturb "Mrs me" when I access the internet. Does the browser have it's own brightness setting? If so I can't find it, so how do I set the browser brightness to be the same as the rest of the phone's? Or do I just have a dodgy screen light?
Also regarding the stock browser, coming from an Android 2.2 handset I fully expected things to be different, but I can't get the browser to open my bookmarks or give me access to the address bar unless I scroll back up to the top of the page. Am I missing something really obvious here, or is that just how it is now? It used to be that pressing the Menu button would let me do that, but it doesn't seem to work that way any more, and it's really annoying to have to scroll to the top of a very long page when I want to go to open a new page.
Fourthly, I know that the pre-installed apps can be deleted, and might have to do it with TelenavGPS. I clicked the app, which popped up with a notification that said "An update is required". I tapped the "update now" button, which opened the browser which opened Play Store, but the Play Store says the app is up to date. Should I delete it and re-download from the Store, or just delete it and stick with the Google Maps/Google Navigation apps? Why does Sprint install this when Google's comes installed as well? Is it supposed to be better?
And the last thing I'm confused about at this point is when I'm in the app drawer and tap the Menu Button and then Edit. When I tap the minus sign next to an app, it pops up with "This application will be deleted" and a Yes and a No button, but it isn't clear (to me) whether it will get deleted from my phone or just deleted from the app drawer.
Thanks for any help or info anyone can give me about these things. I know they don't seem like major problems, but they niggle at me and I can't help but worry that I picked the wrong phone or have a faulty one (with regards to the bad notification light and random dimming and brightening at least) that I need to exchange while I'm in my return period.
Browser has its own brightness settings. Hit menu and scroll down. Its right there.
Yes the address bar will scroll out of the screen when you scroll down.
No idea about the beep. Notification led should work. May be some one stock can check on that.
Remove telenav. Use google maps.

LED used to work on gingerbread for me but never on ICS TOUCHWIZ, works on AOSP though. Since I'm in a touchwiz ROM I'm just using blink app to make it work.

I use the app light flow for my notifications and make it blink blue. The app blink also works.
Not sure about telenav, never had any issues. You have to be rooted to remove some stock apps like the Sprint and Samsung stuff and I highly recommend it.
Notification LED was broken in FF18 and FH13 OTA releases. It is now fixed in FI27 which will be available OTA soon, also available via Kies.

I'm sorry, I'm such a noob, what exactly is TOUCHWIZ? I've read bits about it being an interface or something, but other than that...

I don't mind rooting, as long as I can still get OTA updates and stuff..
Still wondering about the charge complete notification beep.. do the phones beep or not beep when charged?

Touchwiz is the Samsung launcher/ui just like HTCs sense and motos blur. My phone has never beeped when it was charged, and download and install kies on your PC and see if fi27 is available. Or check the fi27 discussion thread in general sub forum
