No .... That is wrong .... GPS is listening on frequencies that are owned by LS .... But when first made they didn't care.. LS bought their spectrum and did nothing with it until now but GPS is infringing on their spectrum but the FCC told LS they could do their build out if they could make it work without interfering with GPS ...both are at fault ...you need to read up on it before making statements like that

FCC told ls they could repurpose the spectrum for terrestrial use if it didn't cause problems with GPS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
The bottom line is Sprint will not be recieving the 9 billion in funds over time from LS. Sprint will continue it's network Vision upgrades regardless. But as already mentioned, sprint will likely look at ClearWire from a different angle now. I hope Sprint can get their network up to par in a timely fashion because Verizon's LTE is very fast (43+mbps down/12+mbps up) and I'd rather pay more for service that actually works and pay $10 a gig if i go over.

And this is why I'm thinking of going back to Verizon and their tiered data plans:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
You do know that Lightsquared was not apart of Network Vision? Sprint is on budget and still will meet its goal. Lightsquared neither speed up the process nor slowed it down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
Yes I'm pretty sure Sprint has been planning ahead and not relying on Lightsquared for quite some time. The gps issue has been known from the get go. I was just speaking on actual ''business'' side of things with the potential income that sprint needs. So technically yes this LS deal getting shut down does impact Sprint's potential cash flow but its not going to affect current network vision upgrades.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
Again, not true in any meaningful sense.

Almost every (read: any that aren't scientifically calibrated and tuned every 3 to 6 months) receiver is sensitive to signals outside the target range. This goes for the antennas in your phone, your WiFi unit, your car, and your TV. When two closely spaced signals are similar in strength this is easily remedied and the filtering is relatively simple, and can often be done in software. When one of the signals is in the range of millions of times stronger than it's neighbor (100W ground stations for L^2, 10^(-16)W average surface signal strength for GPS) this is neither easy, cheap, or small and often is virtually impossible. Especially since signals do not have a hard edge... They're more like a flashlight than a laser.

You can observe this yourself using an old television if you're curious. Except those signal strengths would only be hundreds of times different in strength at worst.

The key to lightsquared losing was that they tried to re-purpose spectrum that has ALWAYS been designated for sat to ground communications. When they bought it they were told satellite only, they tried to change that and failed.

On my old iPhone I had an app that allowed me to double tap the power button to turn on the flashlight. This was a very handy tool!

Is there a similar app for Android? I've tried a few flashlights but they do not have custom buttons. The most popular flashlight app in the market allows you to shake the device to turn on the flashlight but it doesn't work on the Galaxy Nexus.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP :) THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
You can update to 4.0, but trust me, it's just not stable enough. On the other hand, 2.3 is very stable and is suitable for daily use.

But both of these are a no if you're looking for "official" updates.

CyanogenMod7 is a custom ROM (Details explained below)

It offers you a lot of customization and general developer support.

A ROM is essentially a modified unofficial. version of Android. So if your ROM is 2.3, you will upgrade to 2.3. Most of the time they will be better than stock, because they might offer more customization or tweaks not present in the stock ROM.

I personally find 2.2 Sense based ROM to be smoother and a bit faster than 2.3.

Because you upgraded to the official 2.2, you have locked down your bootloader (refereed from here on now as "HBOOT")

You will first need to use a tool called Revolutionary to install a custom hboot, that will allow custom ROMs to be installed.

Go to this link: http://revolutionary.io/ and select "Download for Windows"

A .zip file will start downloading and a new form has popped up on the site. Fill it out first.

Plug in your phone and extract the .zip file you downloaded earlier.

Now just run "revolutionary.exe" and follow onscreen instructions.

After that was done succesfully your HBOOT should be version 6.XX...

Now download the HTC Wildfire ClockworkMod recovery from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122694

And finally in the same topic linked back there scroll down a bit and follow the "To root:" part.

And that's it, you're rooted :)

Now, boot back into the recovery and select "Backup&restore" and make a backup (needed if you want to go back to your old ROM)

Now after you backed up do a full wipe (inside the recovery)

Afterward put this file on your SD card (assumin you want CyanogenMod): http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip

Also flash this to get the Market, gmail, ... :http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadrag3:
For both yes if you root and use custom roms. 4.0 isn't really stable atm but maybe it will get stable like 2.3

Cyanogenmod or cm is an AOSP ( android open source project ) This is a team of devs that make roms for our htc wildfire. cm 7 is android 2.3

This looks the same because if you upgrade a rom from 2.2 to 2.3 you have also upgraded android. But i guess you mean the difference between just an upgrade an rooting and flash custom software. The difference is that when you just update yo do a little upgrade and nothing more. When flash a NEW rom it just installs a complete new version.

It could. Ofcourse you need to adjust a little with overclocking if you use stock roms. But if you use aosp roms you have a speed up because they are much smaller than the standard roms.

The best is to go to 3xeno his index with all roms and add-ons, because there you find a complete tutorial too.

I hope this was helpfull
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunscape:

My volume up button stopped working. Now I'm screwed. It is one of the three precious buttons on a galaxy nexus. Any workarounds if ever I encounter a time to boot into recovery mode manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Swap it on warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanatz:
If warranty is an issue, nothing helps more often than not like some good ole' patience. Wait it out. I had friends with iPhone-button issues and they waited it out and it sprung back to life after 2-3 days. Or blow some compressed air into it (from a machine or the can; not your mouth :P). That should dislodge any dust that might have snuck its way in to the volume button slot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Use 'adb reboot-bootloader' to get into the bootloader and then flash the stock image from Google. If it's still an issue, replace under warranty

Boom

For a TEMP fix of sorts, I believe that there are apps in the Market that will allow you to turn your Volume up and down from the screen but this is not a LONG TERM fix for sure.

too bad can't wait for warranty since I imported a unit and will take a very long time just to have it replaced or repaired. its now working but i need to press it very hard. it must have something to do with the physical button imo. thanks for your inputs guys! will try opening it up just to check the up button.

I highly recommend FreeNote. It is one of the few apps I have found that works the best for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
Even though I think the tab is the best tablet on the market right now, the one thing its not very good at is handwriting. Even with the sensitivity app it's not as good as the transformer or the (sorry) ipad. It's a hardware problem; the handwriting lags behind the stylus, and it doesn't have palm recognition (so if you touch anything to the screen, it registers as a touch). If this was your purpose in getting the GT10.1 (and this is the only reason I'd say this); I'd suggest returning it for the transformer (original, I don't know anything about the prime).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
Let me preface this by saying I'm not complaning about battery life as 36h is very good. That said, I feel like my phone is awake much longer that it should be. Anyone have any ideas why my Awake time is so much higher than my Screen-on time?

Once again, I'm not complaining but considering my phone was awake almost 5x longer than the screen was on, I feel like I could squeeze some more life out of the phone. I had 1 exchange account @ 15min, 1 gmail on push, no talk/g+, ~2-3 hours off wifi (4g), gps on, bluetooth off, 4.0.4, leanKernel.

When analyzing the wakelocks, I don't see anything that would explain almost 6 hours of extra awake time:

Considering most of this charge I was on wifi, I think I should have been able to achieve more than 1.5h screen-on time. Especially when I see people getting 4-5+ hours on theirs. What could be causing this seemingly excess awake time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
Since those screen shots, I've done another full cycle and here are my results. Same settings as before. It looks as if I did a bit better with the ratio of awake vs screen on, but I still only got ~20 hours. I'll admit, this had much more 4g time and heavier usage.

As you can see it's better, as it was only awake about 3x as much as the screen. You can see where I was at home in the second screenshot (The long bar of wi-fi) and that included me sleeping yet it shows that the phone was consistantly waking up overnight without any usage. Short of "email", I'm not sure what could be causing it. I got MAYBE 3 e-mails overnight.

Signed out of talk/g+/latitude

Location services was NOT disabled in either set of screenshots. Disabled it and charging now. Maybe that will help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanatz:
Have you checked out your wakelocks using BetterBatteryStats (found here on XDA)? Also, download CPU Spy from the market and check how long your phone is in what state. If it isn't in deep sleep too often, you might have an app or service keeping your phone awake. Background Data of any kind usually does that. Also, the first culprit I would investigate is Google Maps. Uninstall that bad boy and test your phone out. I am betting you that 60% of the time, the problem with your phone being awake too often is with Maps running unnecessarily in the background. And to be clear, Maps self-restarts itself even after logging out of Latitude and closing the app completely
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
I have attached all the wakelocks to the previous two posts. I didn't attach CPU spy but I did check it every time. Usually it's between 60-80% but most often it's >70% in deep sleep.

Just did a fresh wipe with a app restore using the market. Location services have been disabled. I have uninstalled all gMaps updates and disabled the app. Is this good enough? Should I convert to user and uninstall using TB?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Just wanted to chime in and say I'm seeing a very similar profile to what you posted. And I'm not entirely sure, but I think this started when I flashed this ROM. What I feel like I'm seeing is that active use of the phone seems to be more of a drain than it used to, but I'm not sure how much of that would be placebo (i.e. remembering when I first got the phone around the holidays and there were a lot of relaxed days at home with constant wifi).

But right now I'm seeing 5.5 hours of awake time and 1 hour of screen on time, with 27% remaining. Total time is 42 hours, which seems to round everything out to a decent battery life, but again, 1 hour of use for 70% of the battery seems lower than what I remember. Not sure if a vote for seeing the same behavior is one for this being normal or us both having the problem, but I can try to post screenshots/more detailed info later if it would help.

This is on the above linked rom with stock kernel, 4.0.4 radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
That's the same ROM I'm using and I agree, 70% usage for 1h screen time seems too much. I've seen people get over 2.5h screen on time on pure 3/4g

I'm going to see if disabling maps and location services help. Will report back.

I would be interested to see any SS you have, might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
This is after a fresh wipe, fresh kernel install, no maps, no g+, no gTalk, no GPS, no location services, just gmail and 1 exchange @ 15 minutes

Any advice as to what's going on would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Catoss:
I also have a problem with wake-locks.

Since phone is relatively new ~2weeks its still stock 4.0.2 GSM. After some time my battery life fell and thanks to XDA i think i found the problem Google backup.

I disabled Google backup to see if i get the same awake time tomorrow.

If the problem doesn't go away, is it possible to resolve this problem without factory reset of the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Here are some screenshots I made the other day, taken a bit into a charge but immediately prior the phone was down to <6%. Didn't get a capture of the kernel wakelocks but as you reported, the screen on time falls far below the wake time, and the wakelocks don't seem to come anywhere near to explaining the difference.

I just installed the 6.3.0 google maps, which claims to increase battery performance for location and latitude services. I'll try to make a comparison next time my battery is drained.

I've signed out of latitude before but generally don't redo this upon rebooting the phone. Does it sign in by default on every reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Catoss:
Well after disabling backup thing im still getting 90% wake time from backup service so i will try to do a factory reset over weekend and hope it goes away... Will post resoults in case some 1 else gets this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
This looks to me like some sort of Maps issue. Try to uninstall/disable maps and see if it goes away. Looks like it's stuck trying to locate you with maps somehow based on those wakelock names.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
Hopefully the factory reset will fix it, that is an odd problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
It seems to me like my problem was the version of leankernel I was using. I went from 10.0exp2 to 2.01exp2 and it's much much better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
Actually, the kernel upgrade did not fix my problem. I did seem to figure out what was happening though.

This entire time I've noticed that my phone would standby and sleep very well on Wi-Fi but when I switched to data it seemed as if I would bleed juice. I discovered that my "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" was set to "always" and I believe that was causing my excess wakes.

I've changed it to "Never" and I'm doing some tests. I'll be sure to report back if anyone is watching this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] willlay:
mine is opposite of that, i standby fine on data but terribly on wifi. im guessing that is background syncing. i just have to figure out what is doing it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
i have my wifi set to never too for better battery life. It seems counter intuitive, but wifi is better on power than 3g/4g. So preventing the phone from leaving wifi back to cellular is better for battery. All my phones have been like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] willlay:
yeah thats what i thought it does but mine drains faster on wifi...i leave it on cause i barely get signal in my room an if i sit on 3g it just takes a long time to do anything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
What type of drain do you get over 3g vs wifi?

Yesterday I was playing around on 3g all day and I was seeing an average of 6%/hr. My phone is consistantly awake 20-25% of the time according to betterbatterstats. Screen on will always be far less than half of my awake time. Wifi drains around 1%/hr

I did a wipe of my 4.0.4 install and flashed a fresh kernel download. I'm not logging into exchange because, for some reason, I think that's my problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
Also, changing to Never didn't really fix my issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid_JD:
So, I'm wondering if my battery is messed up. It seems to charge from near dead to full in roughly 90 minutes (depending on whether I'm using it or not). Is this typical?

I ask because I feel as though people talk about their phones lasting much longer than mine does, and it makes me think I may have a defective battery.

Do other people experience this short charge time?

I had an Incredible before this, with a smaller capacity battery, and with the quick charge implementation it would still take slightly longer to charge to 100%.

How is your battery lasting during normal operation?

It doesnt matter how long it takes to charge if it behaves normal in everyday use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qortez1:
Mines does the same thing it'll be nearly dead(4%) and will be charged to 100% in about 2 hours. The weird thing is that my battery life is still pretty good(averaging 12-14 hours of usage with 4-6 hours of on screen time and no wifi), just kinda strange when I first received the phone it took longer to charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanatz:
It's completely normal to have the phone charge that fast. It is the way Li-Ion batteries work. They have a super charge state where the battery charges itself in minutes from 0% to approx. 85% and then starts to trickle charge the rest of the way. This is to ensure that the battery doesn't die from all the rapid charging.
