[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdp252:
You seem to be confused about what AGPS does. The wifi is only used to help the GPS get the initial fix faster, after that it should run as a standalone GPS just fine without WIFI. (if it worked correctly)

With that said I think we all already know that the GPS is mostly rubbish on this device. No amount of firmware updates or software tweaks can overcome a bad hardware design, that even ASUS has admitted already. This is basic physics and nobody can write software that fixes this issue. I personally don't believe we need anymore posts on the topic regardless of how well intentioned they might be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
There are three things that are used by GPS:

GPS itself, it detects satellites and calculates its location based on those satellites. It finds satellites and gets location data from those satellites which it then uses to figure out its own location (GPS device is not told by GPS satellites where it is, GPS satellites simply tell where they are). Differently from typical networks that calculate position by triangulation with three cell towers, GPS requires locks on four satellites. This is because GPS also takes altitude into consideration.

AGPS is used to update the database (sort of cache) of GPS satellites. The more up to date this data is, the quicker it can find locks. When GPS signals are weak then this 'assisted' data can be used to figure out incorrect data from correct one. AGPS does not require 3G, it just requires internet. It can improve the amount of time it takes to lock onto GPS satellites signal. It is also possible that AGPS calculates its position from cell towers based on signal strength (this is not called actually AGPS, but is often labeled as one, it is actually Cell-Site Triangulation), this causes possibly inaccurate position (the wide wide circle you see on Google Maps for your position sometimes)

WiFi is used to a) update the AGPS database and b) get information from Google about the approximate location of the device (this is called Wi-Fi Positioning System). Google knows locations of certain WiFi networks, so when you are connected to specific WiFi device, it can lock your position down much quicker since it looks up the location of the WiFi device.

So it is a three-layered process. If your WiFi network is known by Google then you will get WiFi lock much quicker. The widest circle is usually AGPS with just cell-tower information, smaller circle is usually achieved by just WiFi positioning and smallest circle when you actually have a GPS lock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
GPS = global positining system. Works anywhere on the globe (that's planet earth, if you don't know).

No GPS requires internet, internet connection helps you acquire faster. You do realize there are offline maps which can be used without internet connection right?

The point is...it doesn't matter how people use their tablet. It has a gps, I should be able to use it anyway I want to use it.

People who have no need for GPS good for you, but how the hell are you going to tell other people that they don't need it. You don't know that.

ROFL

good question....

nice comparison though
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
I really don't get the attitude of some of these sheeple. They can't envision someone using something in a manner they themselves do not. I went through this same idiocy with the Vibrant launch and its GPS issues. Morons would say "Well it works as a phone, you bought a phone, right?" Yeah, for $500 (before subsidy).

WTH is the matter with these people? Do they like big business ****ting all over them?

why is this happening? and i also noticed somtimes on websites trying to play flash videos the browser will close. why is this and how can i fix it?

[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
This behavior has been reported on custom ROMs and earlier versions of Stock ROMS. If you are on a clean Stock 3.2.1 ROM you will NOT have these issues.

Hope this helps

I'm on Stock 3.2.1 and I still have this issue. For example: techcrunch will close my browser every time. I've tried it with stock browser as well as Dolphin HD.

Had the tab for a week waiting on the official ics then I will root when root is ready for 4.0 but it still closes no warning or anything
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
Then get on the 'blower' to ACER tech support because this should not happen. We support hundreds of these, in over 8 country's, and this is NOT normal and should NOT happen.

With a locked bootloader we'll be waiting a long time for root and relying on exploits (security holes) is no way to go through life. For example: nobody that I know of has rooted 3.2.1 on an ACER. TPT (Lenovo) is another example and so is the Xoom FE. We need to get the bootloader unlocked.

[Off-topic] lowandbehold:
Actually the White House has been against this bill probably before you even heard of it. Alot of money has been invested in internet security by the government. I don't know how IT inclined you are, but the reality is this bill would put the government back to square one as far as internet security goes because it threatens DNS. So no, it wasn't "one day of a half ass protest" that caused the white house to take your side.

As much as it pains me i agree somewhat myself. Obama may be a puppet and social figure. Its amazing how many people don't even know about the NDAA. Now we have the Sopa and pipa getting all this publicity but no one is aware of the Enemy expatriation act that is presented as well, which invokes the right for Congress to strip us citizens from their rights making it easier for the president /military to indefinitely detain someone that "arbitrarily" has ties to terrorists.

Hey guys I forgot who had requested a widget to show/hide the system bar In Honey Comb, but here it is! I had a couple people test it before I released it to the market. This is to be used by people who use the Hardware Buttons in HoneyComb. Enjoy :)

March 18, 2012

Version 3.0 has been released! It includes a smaller widget (1×1) that was requested by users as well as the ability to restore the status bar when the screen turns off. The latter feature allows the widget to be used by more devices that do not have hardware keys.

Along with version 3.0 I have also released a donate version. This version is exactly the same as the free version but costs one dollar for those who feel generous!

You can download it on the android market place by clicking Here for free and Here for donate

Feb 13, 2012

Version 2.0 brings along a new layout as well as more reliable code!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vlara.honeyhide

And just incase someone trys this without hardware buttons and opens an app while the bar is hidden the command you can run to get your bar back is:

am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService

If you feel like donating all money will be put towards my school loans

Unfortunately, htc scribe apps still don't like the removed bar. Good for watching video and reading pdfs though.

EDIT: I have a small request. Can you please make the buttons or hitboxes a little bigger? Sometimes it takes a frustratingly large amount of touches to register a show or hide.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ftorres:
Thank you. Great app.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
Actually, in that line, I would simply suggest a one-cell toggle (on or off). It was a somewhat curious decision to make two buttons instead of an on/off toggle.

check in data/app for the apk and try installing it that should make it work not sure why it wouldn't install normally for you
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
I like the fact that the widget is a toggle, and maybe this is a silly question, but why do you make it take two icon widths (2x1) rather than just a normal 1x1 icon?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] burnie022:
same problem on leedroid rom. widget appears on sense but not on stock honeycomb launcher. tried reinstalling apk is there but it won't appear as a widget.

the widget works fine on sense. I just like stock launcher better...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vlara:
After some googling I found this "Note: On the current release of Honeycomb, it is possible that the widget will not immediately appear in the widget list after installation. To refresh the widget list, you should either restart your device, or restart the launcher app (Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All -> Launcher -> Force stop)". I tried it on the stock launcher at first it wouldnt pop up but after trying the force stop it worked I know you said you restarted the tablet so it should have done it but try it out maybe it'll work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] burnie022:
i must have restarted it or something at some point but the widget appears now. I guess it's just a problem with the stock launcher. the widget appears as a thin strip when selecting it but it might correct itself too. Good work with the widget and thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mailings:
Hello,

May I ask you to do also an app that do the same?.

That way It could be used to hide/show the bar assigning that app to a gesture in launchers like ADW.

Thank you in advance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] brandonc_mail:
Agreed, gesture support would be great for this action...for the time being a 1x1 toggle should be great.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vlara:
Thanks for all the suggestions guys I've been kinda busy but ill look into making it a 1x1, adding a activity(so its like a regular app + widget) and someone else suggested that when the screen turns off it'll turn the bar on if it was hidden. I'm not exactly sure how to go about these so theres no promises but thanks for using the widget and getting it over 600 downloads!

Thanks for this usefull tools now I can enjoy the whole flyer screen ^_^

I want to propose an idea (if it's not troubling you), rather than widget, is it possible to make it a moveable floating dock or auto hide floating dock, so we can enable/disable the taskbar from whichever screen we are using right now.

Anyway, this is just an idea, thank you for all your hardwork until now.

What am I missing? I got the donate app was so excited for this. Installed, click the widget it put on my homescreen. I get a settings screen with one check box. That's it. Status bar is still there. I'm confused ... Do I need to reboot?

Edit: I'm an idiot. I assumed during install that what was placed on my homescreen was it. Ahhhh ha I see now u have to put the widget on the screen. Lol works great! Thank you.

Not meant to rub salt on your wounds jaguaralani ;) but hiding bottom bar creates a (little) bug in Connected Media

Hi

I have Samsung Galaxy S Plus and I'm looking for the following information:

1. Does the phone drain power from batter when it is charging it?

2. Does the phone drain power from the batter AFTER it's 100% charged, and is still connected to the charger/USB?

cheers

Lucas
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
1. yes, you can drain your battery while it is charging if the charger is weak and your phone is under heavy usage

2. yes, because to improve battery life, the charger will let the battery go from 100 to 9X something, then begin charging again. (Same for laptops)
[General Questions and Answers] lukair1983:
Hi Dark3n and thanks for your response.

What do you mean "charger is weak"?

?? Are you positive about this?

I mean, improving the battery life is charging it to 100%, and then not draining power from it, if it has an option to drain power from outside source.

ps. I have Dell Inspiron 6400, and it does not drain power from battery when fully charged and still connected to the AC outlet.

cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
A good charger will offer something about 500mA+ of current, a weak one less.

If the current of the charger is not higher than what the phone currently drains, the battery will not becharged.

I'm not 100% sure, but fairly sure.

Also improving battery life would be to never charge till 100%.
