if everyone used their phones responsibly none of this would be an issue, but we all know that's not how it is. It's much easier and more practical to ban cell use than to try and make sure people are only using their phones for navigation while driving. I watch people swerve all over all the time because they're texting or chatting away on their phones while driving. If a phone is up on the dash mounted like a gps unit then i'd see no problem with it, but far too often i see the guy behind me spending more time looking at his lap/phone than up at the road.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alex72:
And for the record having aftermarket GPS unit or smart phone GPS mounted in the line of sight is far less distracting then some built in navigation installed down bellow which in a way confirms my opinion stated in post #31.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hchxoom:
It's easier and more practical for law enforcement to peer into every moving vehicle looking for a mobile device being used for non-driving utilization than it is for them to observe, pull over, and ticket motorists driving recklessly and visibly endangering others???

We have great officers in our area, but yours must be exceptional and you must have an enormous number of them!

In our area, its ridiculous stuff like this that reduces the amount of time our officers spend actually keeping us safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alex72:
I know that is the problem but this is not a solution. This is like, you cut off your finger so let rip off whole hand to heal it. It will be worse like I previously explained.

And what about millions of professional drivers (all kinds) who do driving all day and not having built in hands free and navigation. They will be more upset and nervous and cause more accidents. This recommendation is at least 10 years early. Let hands free and navigation be standard equipment in cars/trucks/semi trucks and then after 5 years (not everybody can afford new vehicle) enforce this recommendation.

Don't buy a car... just buy a radio. All the good brands make 'em with bluetooth, GPS, the works built in. Get all those tech goodies but keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alex72:
The point is majority of people even companies can't afford $500+ hands free and navigation built in unit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
If i can glance over and see that the guy next to me is spending more time looking down at his phone than the road,, it's not that hard for an officer to do the same. just because someone's not driving erratically doesn't mean they're paying full attention to driving safely. sorry but i just dont see the need to put innocent people's lives at risk because people dont know when it's appropriate to use their phone. When behind the wheel everyone's main focus needs to be driving their vehicle.

it is a waste of cops time and sad that they need to pass a law like this. but texting/browsing/playing and driving needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. The longer people continue bad habits, the harder they are to break.

my old man's employer actually has a zero tolerance policy about having their phone out at all while behind the wheel of a company truck, and he has no problem with it at all.

how do you guys propose they stop people from texting/surfing/playing and driving?. I think we're all on the same page that texting and driving is a problem. banning the use of the phones is about the easiest way I can think of to address it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmnall:
True and the actual good brands that do have bluetooth, navigation the head units alone are going to run around $ 900 - 1200 just for the head unit this is for an Alpine head unit, prices for Kenwood or even Pioneer can a little cheaper, however, the problem is any of these double din head units scream Steal Me.

Plus looking at the whole ban on all cell phone use will probably not get passed for a couple of reasons: 1. It would raise the cost of car insurance because people would be buying the expensive head units, cars get broken into and then claims will be made to replace their head units. 2. The carriers would lose money from the people not able to use their cell phones for Navigation purposes because there are a lot of people who subscribe to Telenav and with the ban, would not be able to use it. 3. This ban would also put out a lot of aftermarket companies who sell accessories for the cell phones to mount in vehicles as they would be illegal and what about the standalone gps manufacturers? They would be out of business as well. So in the end, it would be a loss for everyone. What will probably be passed is a more stringent law that will make any use of the phone that is not hands free with higher penalties, and even points on their driving record.

Just my opinion though,

Charlie

@Charlie

Thx for reply. Yours reasoning is good, actually same as mine but don't you think that our wise governing heads didn't think about that. They did because it's common sense. But most states are broke and they don't follow common sense. They fight for bare survival. They look for ways to fill empty budgets. If we don't raise a voice and speak/email with our representatives legislation will pass to the letter.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
so better drivers education? I really don't think people are texting and driving because their driver's ed was lackluster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alex72:
Oh my goodness. This is not about texting and driving. That ban is already in affect. I said enforce current laws with harsher fines and invest into better drivers education. Those kids will stop texting with my two-part solution. Not just education.

I'll repeat final time. They wanna ban our phones hands free and navigation capabilities.

Please read the article people.

I wish that I can afford that kind of solution. BTW, welcome back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmnall:
True however, since the two of the biggest carriers *att and verizon*, would be stopping the ban because they would definitely not want to lose out on their revenue of selling their versions of Telenav to their customers otherwise we would never see them on their branded phones. Since most states are really broke they can do others like California has done, raise the registration of our vehicles, ticket people for speeding *atm machine for Cali though*, raise taxes *which they have done a great job here* and last but not least, raise taxes for smokers *glad I quit 2 years ago*. I already have sent letters this week since this proposed ban had surfaced.

I am a Chev/GM man myself *I own 3 chev truck 2x 68 C10s and a 94 K2500* and I have owned multiple chevs over the past 16 years *48 3100 flatbed, 88 Chev 2500 ld longbed, 92 Silverado, 94 GMC Sierra, 2002 Camaro Z28, 2005 Pontiac GTO and now my 94 K2500 ld Ex Cab Shortbed as well as I have owned my 68s for over 12 years now lol, however, I still would have to take the Challenger SRT8 over the new camaro..

Cheers,

Personally I hope this law does pass. If it doesn't then no one has the right to complain when someone they know is killed due to the driver being on a phone or playing with an iPod instead of trying to control over a ton of moving steel. Just stop and think about it for a min. How would you feel if it was your brother, sister, parent or kid thatvwas killed and the person got a fine and walks away. This happens too often to be ignored.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alex72:
@Charlie

So AT&T will save us so they can sell us their navigation. I think most people use free Google navigation anyway. They couldn't save themselves with T-Mobile deal.

O God help us...(praying)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alex72:
You are missing the point. They say it's OK to use built-in hands-free voice and for example OnStar and built-in Navigation but same things, same things, for our phones are forbidden.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
To be honest all of it needs to be banned. They are useless and do nothing other then distract the driver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alex72:
We all know that would never happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
Not until enough people die. But your right. Right now it won't happen. They will try everything else first. Ill stick to my little black box lol see someone on the phone while driving? Push the button and all cell signal is dead for 120 ft lol. No more phone call oops lol

Many of the people overusing the technology are young and not yet skilled drivers. Even before the proliferation of cell phones drivers under the age of 25 constituted the highest risk group for accidents. This is the same group most likely to be using a cell phone or texting behind the wheel. They are also the most likely group to exercise the least common sense when it comes to driving and using their devices. In L.A. people are so tied to their phones that they literally can't put them down for a minute. They are on them in the car, in the grocery store checkout line, in the restaurant, in the movie theater...I've even heard people on the phone in public restrooms. As a society we have already exhibited that not only do we not have common sense regarding cell phones, we have no sense of propriety, either. Government is left no choice but to step in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
Are we reading the same article? The one i read states that their goal is to eliminate non-driving-related use of electronics while behind the wheel (ie texting, social networking, calling, etc). It states that they gave vague answers in regards to using the phone for GPS or driving-related things. I dont see a part where they say indash GPS is fine but phone GPS is banned. In regards to hands free i dont see any parts except that they state even with hands free it's still a distraction. they dont really give enough details to speculate on the hands free part except that they don't care for it, I dont see anything stating they think cars with built in hands free are fine, looks to be the opposite if anything.

This isn't even a law yet, it's simply a suggestion. By the time anything comes out it'll be modified and i'd imagine it'll be something along the lines of as long as your phone is mounted to your dash or windshield you're fine, as it's pretty much acting as a standalone GPS at that point. The reason they have to make broad sweeping laws like this is because they don't have any way to restrict us to doing only "driving-related" things on our phones while driving, so they'll just ban use of it in general.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
I saw this girl almost rear ended the car in front her twice during evening commuting on a very busy highway. I drove pass her on another lane couple times and sure enough she was on the phone texting and calling. This law can't pass soon enough even though I don't know how that could make any difference because we already have a law forbid texting and calling while driving.

I think the only way to end this madness is for feds to require all vheicles to have cell signal shields so that your phone will not be communicate while inside the car.

so kinda bothersome....but not really i dont guess....was following directions on droidlife to unlock bootloader. Noticed it said bootloader unlocked but went on anyway. typed fastboot oem unlock and it says error, already unlocked. Guess my nexus shipped already unlocked? Is this possible?

also under signing it says engineering....one in droid life photo says production....anybody else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDM123:
You have a protoype or dev phone. I have one as well. It doesn't really make a difference because these bootloaders can be locked again (I think).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Not sure about you, but I wouldn't enjoy having an engineering model. Never know what could happen in the future depending on how new or old it is. Where did you get it from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sincerity:
I purchased from verizon store yesterday.....build date of 11/18 I think it said
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
So you are saying that from the very first boot you had the white unlock icon on the startup screen where it says GOOGLE in white?

I doubt you got a dev or proto...

maybe someone returned one? or maybe ur sales rep unlocked it for you (lol)

if it bothers you return it and unlock it yourself lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sincerity:
yup :) didn't really know what that meant until you posted that though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sincerity:
so any negatives to having an engineering model phone?

yea im thinking I might just return it and get a production model....what would ya'll do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meekong:
Hi,

I bought my nexus in Germany (Saturn stores). I just found out that my GN was also unlocked. I never flashed a phone before so i was not sure what to make out of it.

And indeed now that you say it the white GOOGLE text has come up on boot from the first time i booted him.

So any cool things i can do with a dev phone? Any disadvantages?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sincerity:
check about phone and see if under model # it says Galaxy Nexus (ENGINEER) like mine does...

I'm having some serious lag on my class 10 32GB card and it takes like 10 seconds to load gallery. This started on the Ba2tf cm7 rom. It didn't do it before. I'm guessing the read ahead is below 3072KB. Otherwise I suppose I/O is lacking on the latest CM7 rom?

thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

I think you want SD Speed Increase from the market.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks! On the previous build it was always instantly fully loaded. This class 10 card really performs excellent. It's a Wintec from newegg and I get about 15MB/s writing from windows 7. On smaller files it'll down to like 5MB/s but that's normal I suppose. Anyway I'm thinking either I/O rates are poor in the latest stable release or the read ahead it at like 1024KB. At least from my tests on my HD2, I always saw best performance and instant gallery loads at 3072KB, at least on my class 10 card.

I'll give that market app a shot. They usually have to be compatible with the kernel. We will see.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Currently works on my phone no problem.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
yeah, performance seems poor when copying flac music files that are like 20-40MB per file say 1.5GB worth. I get like 5MB/s when on that last stable cm7 release I'd see up to 8-9MB/s on FLAC files writing from windows 7. I got up to 18MB/s write on big files and on the Ba2tf I'm getting like 12-15MB/s. I just wonder what happened to the I/O system on the ba2tf build over the previous? I guess I may be alone on this, or no one cares or notices a 3-5MB/s reduction in writes from windows 7. I'm running a Wintec 32GB class 10 card. I'll stick with ba2tf since there are a few minor improvements however there are some I/O rate losses so it's a hard choice for me. I'll reinstall the last build again and test it out and then compare.

Later

BTW - 3072KB seems to work ok. Looked like by default it was at 128KB?!?

Hello,

I am very new to the Android scene, I just bought two GN from expansys. And it seems that one of the phones is google version which is fully updated but the samsung version wont seem to update.

Please note: I am in canada and have yet to put a carrier sim in it. just wifi for now. my specs read,

baseband version i9250xxkk1

build number: i9250xwkk5_ITL41D

Should i return this phone for this? The phone works great and has a great screen so I am hoping I can just keep it. I am moving to the uk in feb so I ma thinking once I put a uk sim in the update will get pushed to the device?

thanks for you help.

Then when Google Services stopped I had to stop all calendar syncing, as they knew it came from there, stop all calendar apps, restart etc then resync then fine
