[Q] LED's! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I know I'm not the only one, we had android devices previous to this.. we had Charging LED's and when Charged.
I've noticed the nexus does not do this.. is there a way to do this? Its one feature I really do miss from my Incredible
Light flow did not work so if that's my only option then I'm screwed I guess?
Also sometimes it seems the notification system is a bit screwy, this has been on various ROMs. Is this just a nexus quirk?

Hmm interesting.. thanks! I also loved the charging led. It at least makes me less worried that my phone is still working lol.

Light Flow does charging/charged indicators.
I figured the USB cable plugged into your phone would give you a good indication of it charging though .

Unless it was updated? When I used it, it didn't show the LEDs but when I tested it, it did work.
Anyway.. I know being plugged in seems like notification enough but its a small peeve of mine and Assures me lol that it is doing its job. I'm tough on cords and usually from being constantly bended it loses connection.. then it doesn't charge and then turns into this huge hassle. If I had a charging led and charged led I would worry a lot less.

Question about notification light area

The google play store sent me another galaxy nexus. I have seen the phone in person at two verizon stores and i have seen the original nexus the google play store sent me. With this new one i have you can see where the notification light bulb is, the circle and bulb while it's turned off and not in use. All the other ones i have seen it is invisible and you can't see it at all. has anyone else seen a phone like this?

Ditto on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I can't even see it looking for it.
I have to look really close with a flashlight to see mine. But it's very hard to see even with the flashlight.
another defect i suppose
I can see it on my Galaxy nexus but is slightly bur I can't capture with my 4S camera it looks like yours could be defected or something. Does it work tho? I and if does does it bother you?

I realize its different but if it works fine then is it really a "defect"?

I guess what is odd that its different in the first place, if you have a 100 of something and there all the same and that 101 is off it sorta makes you think why?
My first device has banding issues that aren't great at all, but i'm keeping it. I have seen worse in other threads. I have sent pics of all the problems i have had to google, this way maybe they can check out whats going on with qc over at sammy. I think the problem may be these devices are made in china and the international devices i think are made in Korea. but then again alot of people are having problems no matter which they have!
One thing i will say is googles cs has been great they are very nice and seem willing to help! i don't blame google i blame sammy! sigh but life goes on, there bigger things in life its just a cellphone!!
BTW, thanks everybody for the replies!!

I hate it when it does that. Then you like pick up the phone and you're like "no, no, my hand isn't what you think it is silly!" But it insists on turning your screen on and off repeatedly.
More like scumbag Android

Is the proximity sensor sensitivity controlled by the kernel?
I can almost svear that before a flashed Frankos it worked just fine and did not turn the screen of when you for example have to use the dialpad for different services.
Anyone else?

The proximity sensor is at the top of the device by the camera, so I'm not really sure what he's trying to get at here. I've never had an issue returning to the home screen from a call. If the screen turns off just hit the power button.
Its because its opposite from most phones. Switch hands and issues goes away

I also never had any problem with the proximity sensor on the Galaxy Nexus. It does very occasionally not turn off properly when near my face but never had an issue where the screen would turn off when it's not next to my face (unless I intentionally put my finger on the sensor). If the screen is turning off randomly then your phone must have some kind of problem.

I literally laughed out loud reading that. Hilarious. Only because I know what that's like!

Optimus G breaking chargers

Hey guys. So my Optimus G has gone through three different chargers now. The LG one that comes with the phone, a Samsung one, and a rocketfish one. The LG one being the first I used. I know it's not the outlet cause I charge my nexus 7 on the same one.
The LG and rocketfish chargers broke when I tried to charge my phone from being completely drained. The Samsung one just kinda stopped working. All three of them maintain a flat line charge if Im not using my phone. But once I start using my phone, it continues to drain even though it's plugged in.
You can see what I mean at the end of the graph. Its was plugged in for 45 mins.
Have any of you had this problem or have seen it? And any idea what's going on?

I've had this problem as well. Just went through the LG charger so I switched to an old blackberry one I had kicking around. It's been working so far, maybe 4 months or so. It's also nice because it has a substantially longer cord than the standard usb cable out of the box.

What the hell.

Today my phone started to not charge while I had it plugged in and using it at the same time. A few weeks ago I also was getting a notification that said "use the charger the phone came with because this one isn't giving enough power" or some message like that when I always use the original htc charger. My phone is actually losing battery while I have it plugged in now. This is annoying! I'm unrooted and stock.
This message is popping up Btw.

Have you tried a factory reset? If that doesn't work, I bet firewater combined with a Rom and kernel would...our developers kick ass.

Most times I have had this it was charger and/or cable related. I have had an HTC cable that does this and also bad cables. The problem is you are stuck in USB charge mode instead of ac. First method of troubleshooting is another charger and cable.

Ok well, I used a different charger but I think it's a weak one because it took forever to charge and the battery seems to be draining rather quickly.. I used to get almost 5 hours on screen time. About 20 perfect drain every hour. I just unplugged it 30 mins ago and it's already down to 85 percent and I've barely used it. Wtf?

As for OP. I had the charging issue as well. Although it was due to using a USB cable the didn't have all the prongs on it. Start there, and charge your phone over night while turned off. Then go from there on fixing the battery drain.

If your USB is not the issue, ROOT BOOSTER works really well. I had a battery drain issue with AOKP, and it solved it.
A message to Google, Samsung, AT&T, and Verizon: If you restrict your customers, eventually, they will go somewhere else. (locked bootloaders, locked ext SD cards, locked SIM cards, locked WiFi calling, data restrictions, ect.)
Your usb port is probably broken. These micro usb ports are designed to break after a certain amount of usage. I modded my Note 2 for wireless charging a long time ago and so my port hasn't had the amount of usage as a normal note 2 has and it still works. My next phone will definitely have wireless charging so I can prolong the usb port as long as possible.
