Four20

I got he Nokia charger that was on sale recently and when charging my Nexus 5 I have noticed it gets a lot hotter than my phone ever gets. I remember reading about Li-Po batteries and they said heat was the #1 enemy to reduce the life of a battery, so I was wondering if using Wireless Charging is doing damage to my battery instead of just regular USB charging does.

I need to know if this is normal, or is there something I can do to fix it. I picked up one of the 13 dollar dt900 from the ATT sale, and when I put my N4 on it, it wont constantly charge :( it will charge for 2-3 seconds, then stop charging for a second and then charge again for another 2-3 seconds.

Is this a common issue with the Nexus 4? It seems to charge my Nexus 5 without issues and doesn't behave this way

I ask because I just tested Purity ROM and wanted to use their immersive mode, but when the keyboard is up, the system bar at the bottom stays up, and doesn't hide like it does when i put the keyboard 'down' off screen

im looking to type on a device with the system bar at the bottom gone, if possible. does this feature in CM 11 and other custom ROMs function the same way?

I went through all the keyboards I could find and I am unable to find a keyboard with the option to remove the blinking cursor.

Is there a hack that I can do after rooting that would disable this functionality?

My theory is that with GRAM(in the G2) and command mode panel(in the N5) aka self panel refresh, that I could take advantage of this if I was able to disable the blinking cursor.

I could be wrong, and that it's actually the app and not the keyboard that is responsible. But in either case, I would like to know if there is a way to disable the blinking cursor in text input boxes.

I saw this listed in an android article recently and am just amazed at how faster my device feels. Apologies if everyone already knows this, but this is hands down the best tweak i've ever seen so far. Enable Developer Options by going to Settings, and then About, and then tapping on the build section.

Keep tapping it until it says you have unlocked Developer Options . Then go back to Settings and then into the Developer Options and scroll down until you see 3 options about animation times.

By default it's set to 1x, but you should change this to .5x. I have to say, I was shocked at just how often I was waiting on animations while using the device.

Is anyone else seeing this? I try to push 2 different links to my phone, but it will only display the latest one. It's like the first push gets dismissed in order to receive the second one

edit - one thing to note is that i've been playing around with the 'power toggles' app. i thought that was the culprit, but after doing uninstalls it still happens, and it happens on my N4 as well as my N5(and i haven't put power toggles on my n4)

Has there been any new information about this?

what is this, 1995? ill be expecting flashing gifs everywhere next :p

edit - battery benchmarks*

sadly he took them down, his twitter page says think of it as a teaser but thanks to u/Raider1284/ he caught the stats for us. google has a cache of the LTE test

Wifi Browsing: 10.83
2g/3g browsing: 6.436
4g lte browsing: 6.929 

I think this feature alone is what will sell me to the LG G2, but I'm curious what other people think about this feature being included in Google's Nexus 5.

EDIT - for those unaware here is an article.

I'm sorry, but i dont like screenshots cluttering up actual content in this subreddit. Can we get mods to start tagging posts so that we can filter these out?
