So I'm making the move going from the Nexus 6 to another phone, possibly the G4 or IPhone 6. The issues I had with Nexus 6 plagued me on multiple N6 devices. Like calls freezing on "Hanging up..." while ending a call that never goes through and the ! issue. This is the big issue. The ! prevents any mobile data, text messaging and phone calls, usually until the device reboots.
So, I'm on T-Mobile, any helpful links or advice on this phone? What's the screen size difference between the N6 and the G4? At first I loved the N6 screen size, but after owning the N6 since December, I find it cumbersome and difficult to use one handed.
Uh, Google? http://www.ubergizmo.com/products/lang/en_us/devices/lg-g4,nexus-6/
I've been on that website comparing the phones. But I'm more interested in reviews written by legitimate G4 users.
I hate that the notifations are not expandable.. Why would LG remove this from the status bar.

Oh, the drop-down notifications are not on this device? So if I get an email, I can't swipe the shade down for a quick view of emails?

After you pull down the shade entirely, shift the screen upwards to the point where it hides the wifi, bt, airplane mode etc etc settings. Try expanding the notification again.

Hello everyone
I've switched from CM7 on my old Nexus One to Galaxy Nexus and CM9, which was updated later to CM10.
I know everyone will tell me I've done a wrong thing, but I restored my whole phone apps/configuration from my old phone using TitaniumBackup: I have to say except for 1-2 apps, it worked just as I wished.
After few days of CM10 and watching other phones around me, I found out that Enhanced Notifications are already enabled in the nightlies, but they seem to be disabled on mine!
At this point I'm looking for some advice for enabling this feature. For sure, factory reset is the fastest option, but I will forget about the enhanced notifications rather than going through the whole factory reset thing.
I really don't need the full instructions here. A very brief hint can do the trick for me.
Thanks
Is it a specific to any one app or all of them? Because not many apps actually support enhanced notifications yet. Gmail is one that does.

Honestly, I never had the enhancements on my phone, so I don't know for sure on which apps they should appear.
Gmail gives long notifications (some content of the email), but no buttons. I think this is it for now.
But for missed calls for example, there should be some buttons, which are missing.
You mean the issue refers to phone app? nice idea. but I don't know whether phone app is not sending them, or notification bar doesn't receive.
Can you introduce me some app with the same feature support, so I can test?

Gmail isn't supposed to have buttons, just long message preview. The expanded notifications aren't always expanded. Drag down on it with 2 fingers. It should have buttons for a missed call.
Easiest way to check expandable notifications is to take a screenshot.
It's a huge shame for me that I didn't know this double finger trick.
thanks a lot

By the way: the notifications are never expanded on my phone. How can I change the default settings?

I think it just depends on if you've got other notifications already showing. If you've got none it should default to expanded.
I am debating getting this phone but I just want to see what do the lock screen notifications look like. Like what do missed text messages and what not look like on this device on the lockscreen. If someone can post a screen shot of that on here that would be great!

if you have knock on code just comes up with missed call or text no number

Here is how they look. One of the first things I swore I would do when I got the phone was play with the android L style notifications but the G3 works so well I have decided to leave it as is .

You find out how to make it show a message preview for sms notification

the notifications look good but only work for missed calls/texts. Any ideas on how to get Android L heads up to work? The xposed module crashes the ui.
Do text notifications only show like that if you are using stock message?
I use chomp and you just get the icon in the notification bar

Weird. There is a way, yes, to disable it. Even to select how much info it shows up.
But I can't find it anymore, somehow.

Actually I found a new problem. Disabling the lockscreen notifications also removes them from the status bar, I don't want this. Can it be fixed so that they are in the status bar but don't pop up on the screen when locked?

Exactly! It seems it's all or nothing now. You either get them on the lockscreen and status bar or not at all. The more and more I use Lollipop, the more and more I dislike it. This is yet another reason. Seriously thinking of going back to KK, Xposed and GravityBox.
how to get this lock screen working on G3 20A? the current one just shows 2 notifications and everything else is just a icon.

i think you can't.... LG ruined lollipop with his crap
Think I am having similar issue. I used Heads Up application for notifications (which is good) however since 5.0 heads up still works, but on my pull down screen I also see a similar notification .. that although I have dismissed with heads up, the lollipop notification still exists. I have done hide notifications, but it still seems to be there
Am I just being thick?

Sure. That makes perfect sense.
Hi Guyz. I find some spots on the screen when on max brightness. Can you please try the below and let me know if you face the same.
navigate to messages or contacts -> pull down the notif bar and turn to full brightness -> Do you see any spot like thing below the brightness toggle on the white screen of messages or contacts?
navigate to messages or contacts -> pull down the notif bar and turn to full brightness -> Pull down to expand the notif bar -> Do you see any distortion kind of thing above the navigation bar?
Attached images. Zoom and see it.

That's fine, maybe there's something in the background (when openning chrome for example) when you pull down the notification bar it gets blurred

Getting blurred is different. but its some kind of getting distorted. You can see on the keypad as well. Do you guys also have similar issue?
Ah, I see what you meant.
No I don't face similar issue

Hi,
Very satisfied with my new phone, but ...
Each time I open an app it starts with very hard color taken from the icon of the app. Since the color is very hard, it is annoying. I disabled the animations, but stilll, the color is there. I have changed the icons of the apps to a less bright color, but this is not the right solution, I think. Any suggestions? Thanks, Natasa
Are you talking about these icons which show when we start an app?

to be fair it's only on for a split second, you could just use dark mode if it's to bright.

Yes could be that
But i can reach 4 more lines from top contact
Still prefer to see whole screen with logs
Before one ui my favorite phone app was on samsung phones becouse the ability to strat from where you close it
Only samsung does it
You can push on the screen upwards and it will vanish.
