***The Official LG Nexus 4 Thread***

Since 4.2.2 update, I am not always getting notifications, until I wake up the phone.

So now, I just sent an email and the LED is not flashing for a good minute or so. Before it was instant. If I turn the screen on then the email appears instantly.

Is this because the phone is "sleeping" properly now and checking wifi less frequently than 4.2.1 ?

Been getting something very similar with whatsapp sometimes. Sometimes its fine, other times I need to wake the device before I receive a notification, the problem for me could be that I am using a PA rom.

In wifi settings have you disabled wifi optimisation?
I find when its on i get notifications a min or two late....

Should have made it clearer, AOSP design guidelines: http://developer.android.com/design/style/metrics-grids.html

How does PA stick to AOSP guidelines more than CM? I fail to see this.

Because it is built off the same code yet CM like to mess around with kernels & other gubbins. :confused:

I was basically making accusations just like you were when you posted. PA follows those design guidelines also.

Its no more or no less buggier than CM at all.

You installed a zip that was fixed not 5 minutes later. Same could have happened with CM.

No Problem.
I think (?) the WiFi optimisation increases the intervals to check for notifications to use less battery.

Yep. I may change it back if it has a very negative impact on the battery. At the moment I get around 2 days, unless it drops below 1 day I am not that bothered.

Curious if 3G has the same type of setting somewhere. 90% of the time my phone is in a wifi area, with screen off, so getting notifications late 90% of the time would be annoying (albeit a minute or two late is not going to be the end of the world!!)

Gah, dropped my phone and smashed the back glass, I've rang LG and have to send it to Scotland for a repair.... Do they have a quick turnaround, and are they expensive anyone know?

I got an app called green power. It basically turns off 3g and wifi when screen is off and turns it back on at preset intervals for syncing. Also allows it to note locations for wifi and will turn on wifi in these areas and off when leaving them.

I'm pretty sure that most (I think all but I don't want to put false information out there unintentionally) of the custom ROMs offer this feature. I run CM myself as it is very polished and stable (find it has very few bugs compared to PA for example), stays close to AOSP guidelines (hence why there is no resizing of navigation buttons, for example), and has the features that I require, nothing more or nothing less. In that respect it is essentially perfect, exactly what I'm looking for. The reason that it is more stable is likely because of its less "experimental" nature.

AOKP has far more features but will generally be a more buggy release. What PA trades in terms of little features it makes up for with all of the layout customisations, though like AOKP, it is generally a more buggy release.

All depends what you are looking for really.

All I'm looking for is stabilty and battery life. I usually used CM on my old phones, I was just unsure how stable the release is.

What are the major bugs at the moment? I was reading something about battery/wifi bugs.
 
I've been using the latest nightlies for a while, everything seems to work fine including things like the hotspot and camera which used to be the things CM struggled with.
 
What is considered good battery life in here. I am getting about 12 hours but I do look at the screen a lot ;) Screen time is generally 50%. Need to stop looking.
 
I charge my phone every night, it's a smart phone so I'm used to (and expect) that. It's normally at around 60% plug it in. That's general browsing, ~45mins of voice calls, texting, and having latitude running. Which is all fine. I don't need it to last 4 days by disabling all the features I use!

Yep Same Here!!..

Coming from an Xperia Arc, which had a piddly little battery, I got in the habit of plugging it in every night too!! :)
 
Is there a way yet to have music playing in the background from any source (YouTube?) and to be doing other things like browsing? Like the iPad is able to do?

I'm interested in the Nexus but Andriods multitasking abilities have been quite shameful in the past.

Dunno about Youtube though!!
