I'm using 320 dpi. Just edited build.prop with Root Explorer. Everything looks and works awesome, except the keyboard doesn't show the letters popping up as you type...I'd rather have the screen real estate so I'm doing without =P

Anyone else have this issue with 320 (or other) dpi? I like 320 because it's a standard dpi, but if someone has a suggestion I'm all ears.

I suppose I could try installing a different keyboard...
[Nexus 5 General] Shudder123:
used to run at 361 DPI as I got used to Slimroms default DPI, but lately been using 400 DPI. i find the lower the DPI, the more eyestrain I get :(
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
You could try 340. It's really similar and I believe the letters pop up
[Nexus 5 General] speedyink:
Thanks for the suggestion, but still no keyboard popup :(

Edit: Installed Kii Board. Working great now!
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
I'm using Swype, so I wasn't sure about the stock keyboard
[Nexus 5 General] Valdeck:
I use 400 or 445 the kyeboards work great on that
[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
After running 400 for my first whole day I have some eyestrain.

Should I stick with it? Do you get used to it or should i raise my numbers up some?
[Nexus 5 General] eneka:
I'd say just keep changing until you find one that's comfortable. I have mine set at 400 and it's perfect for me. If 400 is giving you strain maybe you can try 445
[Nexus 5 General] darshan9222:
361 dpi

i use 361 dpi and it isnt bad at all,,,
[Nexus 5 General] cmstlist:
I am running at stock DPI but using Xposed to tweak individual apps. Nova Launcher at 480 but font scale 106%. 440 for Gmail, Calendar, Facebook, gReader. 460 for Plume.
[Nexus 5 General] jackpollard:
I definitely found my home at 400, it seems to make everything very sharp. Not too small and not too large, just right.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
I do both. Tweak everything to 400 and then lower anything else individually

Just out of curiosity is there a reason most are using 400 or 445 with very few using a dpi in between?

Still trying to get comfortable with something myself.

[Nexus 5 General] cmstlist:
445 is the true mathematical DPI of the Nexus 5. 480 is what Google sets it to, hence lying to apps that our screen is more like 4.6". 400 means telling the OS it's a 5.5" phablet on the order of a Galaxy Note.
[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
I understand all that, that wasn't my question. I am just trying to get comfortable with a number between 400 and 445 on my device.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
I just tried 445 first as it was native. It wasn't enough. I.went down in blocks... 420... not quite...400 nice.... 380...too small. 400 it is. There's no reason not to have 413 necessarily. Just find your sweet spot

[Nexus 5 General] cmstlist:
I do find that sometimes at 440/445 buttons on the screen are difficult to reach with one thumb accurately. So some apps are best left at 480.
[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
Yea I am somewhere in the 420-440 area.
[Nexus 5 General] cc16177:
I use 420 personally.
[Nexus 5 General] cmstlist:
I would think 420 would make the phone slower, more mellow, perhaps it would get the munchies... ;)
[Nexus 5 General] cc16177:
It works quite well ?
[Nexus 5 General] jss2:
For whatever reason, I never change my LCD density until today. I went with 360, and it's great so far. 5x5 icon grid with the stock gel launcher.
[Nexus 5 General] *system error*:
I use 290. Anything lower than 280 gives me left swipe dowm for notifications and right swipe down for tiles. The only thing I see out of place is Google ring is off to the right a bit
[Nexus 5 General] yogeshmha:
460 gives me a good shape with 6 x 4 icons and a perfect eye pleasing effect to my n4.
[Nexus 5 General] iwebsource:
I stick with 435
[Nexus 5 General] mattfox27:
435 seems the largest it can go and still let Chronis or C-lock lock screen widget show fully.
[Nexus 5 General] mbh87:
445 is perfect, should have changed it sooner. Is a modded Play Store still required when changing DPI? I flashed this one anyways, but was curious http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
[Nexus 5 General] aa_chow:
I have mine set to 439. The reason is, at 445, the email notifications (collapsed form) doesn't display properly (double lime and incomplete preview). I want to set it as close to 445 as possible. At 440 it still happens, but at 439 all is good.
[Nexus 5 General] Cyadd:
Just stock DPI. Haven't really seen a real need to change the DPI in anything.
[Nexus 5 General] rayz93:
Tool used:

-Rom Toolbox

-Root Explorer

Personal favourite settings:

-280 (Tablet mode, tablet Ui for everything, Nexus 5 & 7 in 1, nice when I'm relaxing during the weekend indoor enjoying media on big TV while browsing on chrome [with actual tabs] on my phone)

-361 (Phablet mode, phone Ui but scaled down for more screen realstate, useful in many task such as viewing hardware manual in lab)

-445 (Phone mode, phone Ui scaled up to the point it's really easy to press / operate one handedly, only used when I'm going outdoors on a day trip or something similar)

cheers~
[Nexus 5 General] dakore:
Thank you for this tip! :good: I was nuts because of this and finally decided to live with it. I was using 440 whole time and almost every collapsed notification was messed up (Falcon, Gmail, Whatsapp...).
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
I mentioned this problem a while back here but no one responded. Another option to fix, and what I did, is to install the "all notifications expanded" module in Xposed. Leaves all the notifications open. I find I actually like that better

DPI with 5x5 Homescreen and 5 Dock Icons on GEL

Looking for a DPI setting that gives 5x5 homescreen on GEL but keeps 5 dock icons. Currently using 370 but would prefer 5 dock icons and centered app button (see attached). Please don't suggest another launcher, that is not my goal.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
How would you get 5 dock icons AND a centered launcher button?
[Nexus 5 General] bwagner:
The app button is still an icon, but have 4 dock targets is what I am looking for.
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
That's what I thought you meant, but wanted clarification
[Nexus 5 General] TomDibs:
Might be trying this later indeed.
[Nexus 5 General] xnickfx:
400 is the best I've tried so far! Way better than 480, 460, 440, or 420. I'm gonna try 380, 360, 340, and 320 next. Hopefully they aren't overkill.
[Nexus 5 General] Decimation:
I wanted the same thing. I used GravityBox to achieve it. There is a launcher setting that will give you the 5X5 grid you want on your home screen and keep your dock even.

How are you avoiding the visual glitches?? I had to adjust to 406. When I was at 400 I noticed that some of my notifications would be cut off.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
In what way cut off?

Not sure if I've noticed or not. I'm on 400 btw
[Nexus 5 General] Decimation:
For instance I have a persistent weather notification and the numbers along the bottom edge get cut off. It could very well just be me.
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
420 for me
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Ah ok. I have seen something similar in expandable notifications. Like the bottom third of the line of text is missing until I expand it....

I also have an issue whereby the last letter of the contacts name is missing in notifications, but this is something different i suspect
[Nexus 5 General] pwrmedia:
I toggle between 300 and 340, depending on the mood I'm in that day.
[Nexus 5 General] Molitro:
I've been at 400 literally since the first hour of the life of my N5, and I haven't seen any glitches.

[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
I'm definitely liking 400 so far. I just wish the stock launcher would add another column. I'm not interested in using another launcher.
[Nexus 5 General] charesa39:
I'm running 439 here (due to the notification cutoff issue at 445). This gives me a nice 5x6 grid in the app drawer. Then, I use Gravity Box to give me a 5x5 grid on the stock launcher. Looks and runs perfectly.
[Nexus 5 General] ChazzMatt:
I've seen lots of people say that. 439 is the best mix of smaller and functionality.

Maybe it's your router timing out and losing it upon reconnecting (stuck in connected state)? I once had that problem on my Spectrum and know it was a part android issue.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonatutu:
I am using a D802 singapore set of LG G2. At first I thought the LED notification is not working sometimes. I am using Whatsapp and Wechat.

For Wechat it works fine, all message receive will have a green led blink, but for whatsapp( I change it to blue) it did blink, then again sometimes it doesnt.

After that I realize its the phone, it didnt apply the push notification for whatsapp.

Heres what I do to repeat the problem, it happens all the time. Turn on the screen and turn it off (wifi is woken up but is going back to sleep faster than I thought even with wifi on during sleep setting checked ) used another phone to whatsapp to myself repeatedly, it will receive the messages at first( Led blinking, notification sound heard)

after a while non the of messages are being received all the messages are single tick on the 2nd phone. For this case Led will be blinking but its for the first few received message.

If the phones/wifi goes to sleep before you receive whatsapp messages, it will not blink and no sound notification will be heard. I dont know if its whatsapp problem or the software problem for G2.
