Its not stopped, android framework doesn't support reading it directly. To the Max we can only get the location code. Windows 6.5 phones did had an option to enable this feature. Yet another feature I miss in my Nokia phones.

Also it would be interesting to see how the current lineups of symbian like anna handles it.

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

it will work, in advanced settings goto qemu.sf.lcd_denstiy and change the value to 160-> save and reboot.

if it dont work, then goto root explorer-> system->open build.prop in edit mode

and change ro.sf.lcd_density to 160-> save and exit
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Oh.. now we have better option to track the location, Gmaps live wallpaper IMO

But sad part is that it drains lot battery, and need internet right?

[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
Guys I've been waiting for ICS for sometime and I've heard lpb is very good ie almost stable for daily. What is your suggestion?

Wait or proceed with ICS

Secondly I'm worried about the app support in ICS most of the apps were incompatible with ICS a month back. What's the case now?
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Can u tell me some quick & easy tips to do so? Am using NEAK 1.3.3 & get a whole day with moderate usage. I want a bit more.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
MOst of the apps have compatability with ics as of now, LPB is a good rom for ics.(assume you have i9100, not the G version)
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
As I said in previous post do the setting like that. Keep eye on Application wecklock. which application still runs while u not using the phone. simply freeze them or uninstall them.

for undervolting use one of these thread.

One more thing give time to kernel for one or two battery cycle.

[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
Do we have any app which syn gmail every 3 hours or so by automatically enabling the intenet and after sync switching it off.It would save battery.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Try k9 mail app. It hasn't exact 3 hours sync option but more option than stock.

Give it try.
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
Exactly Bala, you when I miss this the most..travelling by over night trains in the upper berth! your really clueless of the location/station..

[Galaxy S II General] ROHIT345:
In addition to the above if you are running Neak 1.3.3 you can follow these steps..I am running it for last two days and getting good performance and battery life.(slightly better than siyah)

1. Boot into recovery and enable conservative and lionheart tweaks from Neak options.

2. Open voltage control app (you can download it from market ) and set governor to conservative.i/o you can try sio or noop or v/r. i am running V/r.

3. Set scaling to 200-1000 Mhz.Can even go to 200-800 mhz i dont experience any lag but intially try 200-1000.

4. UV settings depends on phone you can try reducing by 25 at each step. I am running the following UV settings on both Neak and Siyah and never have had any problems...but every phone is different and this is user dependent.So please try 25 at each step and if you dont experience any sod or freezes try another 25 at each step.

100 850

200 850

500 850

800 950

1000 1050

1200 1150( If you want to keep scaling to 200-1200)

5. GPU settings

133 Mhz 900 mV

267 Mhz 950 mV

I hope it helps.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Lol is that for android first?

Edit: it should be for windows mobile 6.x
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Dont no:confused: but the said setting in that forum looks like for android phone.

I myself added personal channel and setted up frequency to 50, no result for Idea network. So I asked him for that

Edit: If I ask u to compare Nova and Apex, which one is better u found?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Guys guys. I haven't brought a mobile for my mom yet :p The budget is 15000 now and mom has liked Nokia lumia 710. What do you guys think? Any other alternative as to windows or android for 15000? I know xperia mini is the best one. Buy could not convince mom whatever I tell because of its thickness lol :p

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
But its Android 2.2? :eek:

Also I will flash the LPB in an hour or so. Just a question though. Should I wipe/factory wipe or something before flashing through ODIN? Or is that flashing via ODIN is will always factory reset the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
Its a full wipe rom.Just flash via odin.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
No harsha, it comes with 2.3 gingerbread,

detail review is here,

remember its not deffy, its deffy+

Edit: ICS LPB just flash with Odin
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
see clearly its 2.3 not 2.2 ...
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
@Harsha- If your ma likes Lumia get her that. Simple. Its a good device besides.

But if I were you I'd convince my ma to buy Wave 3, its a little sexy phone at a good price.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh sorry. I did not actaully go into the link with kachru posted. Just searched for motorola defy :p Well that goes into the list!

@Ravi you not trying the LPB? I will let you know how the adhoc mod goes :)

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

I would get what mom likes in the end of the day :) But since its a new OS which I have not ever tried before, so just wanted some opinions from this thread mate. Mom just went through the looks, so I wanted to look at the usability too :) Will look into Wave 3. Looks nice as you said.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Thanks man....I was just waiting for more stable build without problems.............anyone here rooting and trying roms without Jig or only me?...Should I order Jig or wait till I need it?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I say order a jig right away. See that day where I could not boot my phone when trying to flash Siyah? I used jig to enter to download mode and make my device proper. If not would have waited for 2-3 days i guess. (dint try the 3-button combination for download mode that day, but extra equipment doesn't matter than cribbing later)
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
IMO Nova launcher.i am using it on LPB now.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
id like both, preferably apex because

apex

+ its fast

+ has better grid handling

+ transparent menu drawer

+ ics style widget addition

+ gesture support

- not many animation effects as of now

- power consumption

nova

+ fast

+ handful of animation effects.

- grid handling is not that great

- less customization compared to apex

- GB style widget addition

Both are still in beta , things will change soon hopefully.

did you tried sony ericson walkman live?? looks good has ics too :)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Why does Sony mid range phone got to be so thick :( 14.2mm..

Also bala? From how many days you are in LPB? Number of crashes are restarts on average?
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Defy is a old phone+no software support

If u need a water proof+dustproof go for xperia active

But i strongly recommend xperia mini

[YOUTUBE]F92CvRflk18[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
oh is it that thick??:eek:

im on LPB from the day of release, so far no restart or crash :)
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Chetan, r u Happy with this leak??

I am thinking differently...

What next after ICS??? I know stable ICS yet to get.

But 50% attraction of ICS for me has gone with leaks.

I wish Samsung update firmware, the way GOKHANMORAL update his Siyha kernel:D:D
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Because mini is having the same hardware as Xperia arc/play/ray/active/live...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
personally i do like the sammy releases, it will only get better and better in the upcoming months.

gokhan will release delayed updates once he has 100+ devices to work with :D
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
btw what you guys think will we get updates like 4.6.0/4.3.0 etc like 2.3.3/4/5/6 or only till 4.0.9?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
we surely will get full range of ics releases. for android 5 ill be getting a device with hd screen.

used galaxy note for a while in yesterday, absolutely mind blowing and too tempting....
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I think android 5 will take 2-4 years more............tried Note? awesome.......maybe I might buy a new mobile for android 5 too...maybe SGS5/7 ...once a person came to android can't go back to other OS so easily...today my friend said I will buy note soon..I said to him no it wont fit in pockets and he said no problem...Than I said only 1 thing..You will buy it and next hour I will break it
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Hope SIII would be pocketable

One more question. Cm9 or Stock? Camera is kinda important to me (pics) what do you suggest?
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Duuuuuudes, its not even 1 year and u guys r thinking of buying a new phone?!?!? :p

So rich ppl :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
for best camera/video quality and optimization the only way is stock rom. but afaik cm9 picture quality is good , much better than cm7

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
who moved?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Checkrom team...They got note now...they still work for GSII
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I did think of xperia mini. But then its even more thick than the Nokia 5230 the current phone.

Lol yeah. Mom strictly told she not gonna buy a phone that thick.

But why does others have crashes and boots..

But arc, play are all so as thick as through mini.

Guys played MC3. Its awesome with good graphics and also use the mobile as heater too :p
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Criskelo too working on note. They didn't moved completely!

but updates on their roms telling the story
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
dunno, may be they might have configured wrongly.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
well i dont think devs are ditching

Sgs ii just yet. Still devs are there for nexus s and sgs. Chill guys ... Devs wont leave sgs ii too soon...its a very high end super phone.:-)

Let ICS get ready and u will get the same updat again.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:

Yup all ICS charm has faded away...and after the small scratch on my phone..i feel sad when i pick up my phone for use..I am in a void zone now..lol..I have stopped developing too :(..nothing excites me in GSII..

Will take a break from this forum for 1-2 weeks..then may be i will gain back my gusto..My typical geminian nature is showing off..
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:

Facing a WiFi issue!!!

Sometimes after disconnecting Wifi from my phone if I try to reconnect it doesnt do so.

The router is very well detected in the Wifi settings, and also shows full signal.

My laptop is also connected to the same router and works fine.

I have to restart the router to overcome this problem.

Any solution to this?

Once I get Jig I will flash latest ICS ROM.........But I will only flash it after harsha reply about wpa mod working or not

OT: SL 12/1 overs 3.2
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Lol sorry I typed wrong. What I meant was arc, play, ray are so thin but mini is fat like pav bhaji! :p well your explanation above probably the reason lol

When trying to connect to the router again, where does the connection tend to stop? Is it with "obtaining IP address" ?? If so you need to set the IP address manually in your phone and it will fix the issue.

Sure buddy. Yesterday had some problem with the downloaded files so downloading it again and flashing in evening.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
i think no.....is your mobile fixed?

[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Tried both Nova and Apex.

1) Nova's Transition effect are not that smooth as Apex.

2) Apex cannot re size widgets to 5x5 , while Nova can.

Hence, not able to use anyone of them... :P

I wish , CM9 Launcher comes with Custom Grid ... :D
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
No mate, apex can resize Widgets to any grid size, am using power amp 2 x 1 widget to my full home lectern size which is 7 x 6.

Btw custom transparency option in this new beta is awesome.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
I set Grid Size to 5x5, then i added 4x1 Beautiful Widget on screen...Now, I am not able to re size it to get into 5x1. While , I can do so on Nova... :(
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Did you enabled resize all widget option in apex settings.?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Yes, I did. I am able to re size Stock Email Widget like that .... even bookmark widget, i am able to.

So , It might be an issue with Beautiful widget and Apex Launcher... There is another widget call Sony life Contacts beta ... thats also not working .... However, I can re size them in landscape.

Found few issues...

1) Sometime, Widget are screwed up. as if they are in the middle of screen and delete button ... :P

2) Preview Screen shows blank screen except the one from which you came into preview mode. [When you press Home button]

3) Drawer button is selected , but it shows Widgets Selection .. :P
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Yes its awesome!!

Overall performance and smoothnes improved I guess.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
The homescreen scrolling speed is improved too.

One bug is gesture based support and scrollable Widgets ( apw twitter) conflicts with each other, gonna report that bug in apex thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
After trying all ICS based launcher...

I personally, love CM9 launcher. Its smooth and Fast. However, It still missing few feature , like Custom Dock, Grid Size etc..

btw, bala, kachru, Check this bug of Apex launcher ... are you also getting it ?
