I haven't checked, but it's possible. IF only it didn't flash once every 10 seconds. So if you were watching your phone for over 10 seconds, you might catch the next time the notification led was blinked.

I might be wrong about the led intervals, but it does take a while between flashes..
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Why are people complaining about the led? I didn't think it was supposed to be to bright. I mean it is just a simple small light to tell you when you get a text or something? Right?

I believe it is behind the glass which may make it summer than some others but I don't know, it is just a bonus for me. My gs had no notification led.

Don't you know that when u speak up against the almighty Nexus you are a troll? How dare you have an opinion of Nexus that is bad? No, wait your doing this to make money...lol yes that's it. You can't possibly dislike this so it must be a ploy to make extra cash. Think about it. Buy the phone without testing it or even seeing it in person. Its a new release so there can't be anything wrong with it. You figure that by making a thread at xda you can tease all the smart members here, they all know that the almighty Nexus 4 is perfect, without fault (actually from the comments in this ridiculous thread that almost seems accurate), you could sell it here for a profit. Great plan!!!

The irony is that these same people that are accusing you of these ridiculous actions are guaranteed the first to call people that have apple products sheeple or fanboys. Accuse them of buying apple just because its an apple product.

Another point I loved...let the pros do the reviews. Really? Since the OP does not like his N4 he should leave his opinion and review out of the forum? Great idea. Forget all user reviews...with two caveats. You can post reviews only if they show complete and blind loyalty to the Nexus brand or if they bash apple.

Lastly, to those of you requesting the mods to close the thread, please stop. Let the mods do their job. Did for whatever childish reason you dont like this thread or any other thread just report it and let them make that decision. Obviously you can't do that in this thread because you know that the OP did nothing wrong. As a matter of a fact, you are the one trolling. Trying to stir up the other Nexus loyalists. Perhaps its time you grow up just a little? Don't agree with the op? Use your little brains and offer a counter point perhaps? Can't think of anything other than "close the thread"? Then please don't bother cluttering up the thread.

Before you accuse me of anything. I'm typing this from my N7 which I love. I'm also considering dumping my GS3 with its "fake" colors for a N4. I for one found this review very informative and I'd like to thank the OP for his review. I'd also like to thank everyone that participated with a useful comment or point of view. I'm still undecided myself but leaning towards dumping my GS3 for this. OP might mine is flawless if you want to talk about a trade drop me a pm.

[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
This is about an opinion and the OP has one, this does not give anyone the right to slag him off , but you can give your counter opinion which is just as valid,

It's funny because there are peeps slagging off the OP for his opinion, then there are others slagging off the ones who are slagging off the OP.......:laugh:...which makes them a bit "ingenious"..:laugh::laugh:

Come on , this a forum where we all have a right to express our opinion and inform others..;)

My vivid has a super lcd and I consider it superior to my old captivates super amoled screen. About the only thing they captivate could do better was deep blacks. Of course super lcds are htcs thing so they go all out with them. How does the screen compare to say a one x?
[Nexus 4 General] Serious_Beans:
I can't really complain about this phone except for screen on time.

The build quality is solid, screen is great, it's FAST!, has 2GB of ram, and running the latest and greatest Android version, I can't really find anything to complain about. Also T-Mobile has really fast DCHSPA, I'm getting like 20-25Down and 3.5-5up, not really missing out on LTE. For the amazing off contract price and specs, really no reason to complain about anything, if you don't like this phone, simply put a Nexus phone isn't for you.
[Nexus 4 General] evohog:
Came from the one x, then s3,then the note 2 and I have to say this smokes all of them. Real world speed is insane. Ease of use also great. Screen is amazing and a lot easier on the eyes then the Samsungs, not dissapointed and very satisfied. Would have paid 600 for this type of quality and premium feel.

How is your battery?
[Nexus 4 General] frankied22:
I really like the device. For me it's more of me adapting to android because I am coming from an iPhone 5. I still have my iPhone and find myself wanting to use it still (yea...I don't expect any sympathy for that on an xda thread about an android phone) but I am really trying to live with the nexus 4. There are things I like about both platforms so its a tough choice. Google now continues to impress me. I love how it scans my email for items I bought and are shipping to me.

Real mature. Is there a point to your comment or are you just a complete d1ck?
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
Ya know I have to agree!! If you look at my sig you can tell which devices I have and at first when I got the N4 and was kinda disappointed... I felt the display was CRAP and the benchmarks SUCKED and it just didn't HIT me until the past 24 hours or so... I would say that this is a VERY nice display and the colors are very accurate but I always looked at my Samsung's and NEVER really had anything decent to compare them to. Now that I have been playing with mt N4 for awhile I finally see what REAL colors are supposed to look like! It may not be the BEST display out but it's VERY nice!! The phone is just GREAT for $350.00 and you get an awesome, pure Google experience out of this unlike my other devices. I even posted a comment in another thread, when I first received my phone, that I thought the phone was just NOT that good.. BUT, it really is!! ;) I have not had the best battery life and the top part of my screen and the back get pretty damn hot but all in all this is a wonderful device!! I ordered the Nokia wireless charger from Verizon cause I get 25% off so I am waiting to test the wireless charging but I will update as soon as I receive it. If you can overlook a few things than this is a BRILLIANT device! I am hoping we figure out what is causing such low benchmarks and the heat issues but I am sure developers will be ALL over this phone very soon! :D Give yourself some time to settle in and I promise you will LOVE it!! :good::good:
[Nexus 4 General] hello00:
pointless thread.
[Nexus 4 General] evohog:
I just got through a shift at work with about an hours worth of calls, 20 emails,30 texts and an hour and 45 minutes of screen on time searching the internet and I got home with 51% battery left. More than enough. Personally I don't see why people complain about battery life when its this good, do they work on the north pole with no electricity? Are they in the middle of the desert, just plug it in when you go to bed and if you really need 5 hours of screen on time use the frickin computer before you go blind!

Anyways its awesome, can't say I've held a nicer feeling phone and the back looks amazing! Pics and videos don't even come close to doing it justice.

the N4 screen is so crappy (sorry to say it ) : the blue isn't blue ( its kinda green ) - gray isn't gray even Gnex scren look brighter O_o

and its not even really faster than Gnex so i will keep my Gnex :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
Both screens have their pros and cons. My One X screen is lovely, bright crisp and clear. That's not to say AMOLED is bad. AMOLED has deeper blacks, near unlimited contrast, and such. Wait for a proper SAMOLED Plus display from Samsung with a proper RGB matrix then we can make comparisons.

You prefer one over the other. At the moment I prefer IPS just because it doesn't suffer from screen burn ins, all my previous AMOLED displays suffered from screen burns ins, but for videos and gaming I'd take AMOLED over IPS without a doubt as those blacks are deep.

Watch a HD clip on an AMOLED display and you'll be pleased.

Well it seems every tech reviewer is wrong then. :)

[Nexus 4 General] sherwin892:
I too find the N4 screen to be better that the GNex. Great viewing angles and the quality to my eyes seem to pop out or has that printed on the glass effect. As others have stated, the Gnex to me is overly saturated and darker.
[Nexus 4 General] ericinmn999:
Sorry (sorry isn't the right word... Just I am so happy want everyone to feel the same way) to see a thread like this but it shows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Likes imho:

Screen - crystal clear and beautiful (coming from a galaxy nexus; sensation before that, mytouch before that.

Radio: HUGE step up from the galaxy nexus. Not just bars/indicator but fringe areas or no service areas now get phone and data (compared to Galaxy Nexus) .

Feel: love the gorilla glass smooth and rounded edges.

Speed: wow... No lag and screams!

Camera: huge improvement as well.

Just my 2 cents. Wish the buying from Google experience was better. I didn't have a problem with the nexus 7 but am level 3 backorder from Google. Got mine from tmobile and waiting for device from play store still.

Enjoy. Love android and this device is outstanding.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
From looking at it today the screen is far better than the awful AMOLED of the SGS3 and GNex. But it seemed washed out compared to my 5 & One X.
[Nexus 4 General] idividebyzero:
People saying the colors are correct dont know what they are talking about, the gamma is way WAY too high on this phone. Do a gamma test yourself, the gamma should be around 2.2, instead its 1.3-1.8, thats horrible color accuracy.

If you have a good IPS computer monitor then calibrate it and compare the same images, the Nexus is not even close in terms of colors and brightness.

It is undersaturating colors, so images and icons that have intentionally high saturation dont look like how they are supposed to look. Load the One X's default wallpaper, it was processed to be super saturated with dark rich orange in the sky, it comes off as yellow on this screen.

Accurate colors mean displaying the images AS IS, not desaturating them (or over saturating them like RGB OLED).

If a developer can fix the gamma on this phone it should improve immensely. Hopefully they will find a way to lower the gamma to a more reasonable 2.2 level.
[Nexus 4 General] Beretta93:
Amoled is garbage, it messes up color perception if used on a daily basis in the long term. You don't recognize tones properly after too much of that crap.

I'm so relieved that I could switch back to LCD. Yeah blacks ain't black and it's not the best screen ever, but at least it's not Amoled. My eyes thank me every day.
[Nexus 4 General] ianford10:
I've come from the Note 2 and I find this phone a truly awesome peace of kit. Don't get me wrong I liked the note for a time but when the Nexus 4 became available I had to have it and I feel that my choice was just. Yes smaller screen but boy what a screen, battery I am unsure yet as only had it a few days, speed is just amazing, no lag, just instant, everything is smooth. Got to say camera is not the best but does the job. Happy with what I have and think I will keep this device for some time :)
[Nexus 4 General] kydkupa:
If you did some research you'd find out that even Samsung is going to IPS next year and calling it PLS. "Plane line switching" so obviously amoled isn't better.
[Nexus 4 General] ianford10:
I think what we have here is lots of numptys who have jumped on the Nexus band wagon not truly understanding what they have in there hands :)
[Nexus 4 General] Anubis007:
Pocketnow is reviewing a Nexus with a defective screen. This should give you a better picture of the difference between the 2.

having seen the best of an Amoled screen (Note 2), i think the sharper more accurate colors of an IPS is better than any Amoled. the display on the Note 2 is great, but sharpness was sub-par and the over-saturated colors wasn't very pleasing to my eyes, especially on a 5'5 inch screen.

[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
In my opinion the amoled screens sort of catch people because of the bright colors. To me though they are not so accurate.

I don't have a nex 4 but I believe it to have a more warm, accurate color reproduction except maybe white may look a little to warm. I am just going by even shots and videos and I am viewing everything on my PC or nex 7.

It does look like the nex display shows everything closer top the surface which seems really cool but I guess makes the touch even a bit less sensitive.

I can tell you all now I normally sit back and don't comment on this and that but so many threads on battery life, screen, power, screen compared to amoled, screen compared to xxxxx, so on, give me benchmarks. ****ing doing my head in now. Do you want a device that receives updates faster than any other phone? Do you want a device that supports unlocked boot loader? Do you want devs here to support your device? Do you love custom ROMs? Then shut the **** up with stupid threads and just get this fabulous phone, or **** off to HTC, simple :)
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
People thinking oversaturate is better is a perfect example of how marketing works and why Bose and Beats are successful and lauded as quality, but at least Amoled has its merit. Looks like too many kids with more money than needed not knowing how to appreciate what they have. I'll trade you my GNex for your N4 if you don't like it.

Does the N4 screen look that bad in person? The difference between that and the original Nexus in that video is rather large...the N4 really does look washed out and yellowish. If I had the phone, that would be a huge blow to my gut. I'm hoping for everyone's sake that has been waiting for the last week that that screen is just from a bad batch or something, or the video just doesn't do it justice. Definitely not impressed...and that's not even taking in to account that it looks to be only marginally faster than the Nexus...at best. That's a bummer for sure.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
You clearly don't know what the **** you're talking about. I agreed with you on the screens, but don't bring Bose into this. I have the Quiet Comfort 15, and they are the best headphones ever made. The Beats crap is for wannabe gangsters, I agree.

This is what I just heard.

I don't want bright vibrant blues. I want a yellow tint on everything I look at.

Seriously, who gives a flying **** if it's oversaturated. If any of you have EVER owned an amoled display I'm sure you wouldn't be bagging on the 'oversaturation'. It looks good, no, it looks great. Great to the point where most people who have owned phones with amoled panels don't want to use LCD panels anymore. Not to mention it saves you quite a bit on battery.

[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Had, a SAMOLED, hated it, so glad to have a phone now that isn't grossly blue. Oh GOD, the black isn't black! That's okay, cause the whites aren't blue.
[Nexus 4 General] Basil3:
I've only recently switched to the S3 because I couldn't get an N4 (after coming from one X). What I don't get about this 'blacker blacks' argument is that on a black screen with the S3 you get these god awful blacker blobs.

To me, the blacks on the S3 are a weak point, rather than a strong point because of this one flaw.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
You're ****ing pathetic, mate. A lot of us (myself included) have owned AMOLEDs through the Galaxy Nexus and hate them with a passion. They have absolutely zero sharpness (esp with pentile). Seeing pixels on a ~300ppi display? Samsung should be ashamed. Nothing looks real on the screen due to the crap color saturation. Photographers would be ashamed to use it. Samsung even switched to LCD on their crappy Galaxy camera.The only thing I miss from AMOLED is the absolutely pitch blacks. Oh, and Sammy ruined that too with random patterns on the screen.

Allow me to sum up:

- AMOLED:

better blacks (though you get ugly artifacts all over the screen)

- LCD:

Better color saturation

Much sharper

More energy efficient on everything except a black screen

No banding/artifacts on the screen

Higher refresh rate

No burn in

Oh, and I'm not even going to bother replying to your stupid "oh it even saves battery" crap. Please do some research. AMOLEDs use 50% more energy for a typical screen white/black balance. If you're viewing a webpage with 90%+ white space, AMOLED is up to 2.2X LESS efficient than LCD.
[Nexus 4 General] js2021:
i was comparing it to my s3 screen, and have to say I like the n4 screen better. White is actually white and not yellowish like on the s3. the s3 has better blacks but, I have to say the n4's screen is good.

I didn't get much more time with it, its my brothers n4, my one is on back order.
[Nexus 4 General] Dsrtstorm:
Honestly, I have both the N4 & GNex at my disposal and the colors are a lot more accurate on my Nexus 4 in comparison(imho). The two things I noticed and hated about the GNex's display was the refresh rate, I shouldn't notice the layout of my keyboard after posting a tweet or sending a text, and the use of pentile, which made pixels rather easy to see.

Anyways, I just don't get the bickering going on in this thread. Each technology has their pros and cons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Nexus 4 General] kerman19:
I've come from an S3, and I have to say I love the Nexus 4 screen, it's far more natural! I know the blacks are not perfect, but looking at the reviews, it has the best black levels among the LCD's.

I've had loads of people tell me how 'awesome' their TV looks, and when you see it, it's in 'Dynamic' mode that A) gives you a sun tan, and B) colours look far too saturated, calibration anyone!?

Overall, I love my Nexus 4, I had high hopes for the device, and for my needs, this phone is spot on. £279 absolutely well spent.

Loving my N4 and I came from a GS3. Won't be going back to it. Both are excellent top notch devices. Enjoy this screen better than amoled. All I will miss is the better camera on Gs3. Battery doesn't bother me as I have a charger at work, in the car, and of course at home. Always have.
[Nexus 4 General] basketthis:
I will buy your nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] AppReviewBros:
I guess I will love the screen mostly because of its warm color temperature.

I have even downloaded a software called Flux on my computer to make the colours warmer and more yellowish because that's way easier to look at compared to a monitor that's displaying standard colors.

Seriously, that seems like a plus to me!

I enjoy the more realistic colors as well. The over saturation of amoled screens always bothered me abit...just too cartoon looking for me.
[Nexus 4 General] tehdef:
They aren't washed out. Gnex uses SAMOLED which over saturates the colors with ridiculous amounts of contrast. Gnex isn't true to color

The IPS is more accurate. Don't be dumb because your false idea of true color is skewed.
