[Nexus S General] petrochemicals:
I know, think of all the sites and all the articles written about how OEM's can't get their updates out fast enough. Now when Google can not update it's only phones (a lot fewer than any OEM) with it's own OS (something they obviously had the source of for a lot longer than any OEM as they were the ones who built it) not a single article on any gadget blog or Android blog. It strikes me as odd after all the crying about the OEM's on all of theses sites, not a one can muster up a single paragraph about Google and their huge failing at the very same thing.
[Nexus S General] thezero4:
This is so disappointing. To me it means there's no Android I can safely buy and assume I will receive timely updates. And since I want timely updates it may mean having to look at other platforms. For now I guess it means that the CM team (or other custom ROM) is my upgrade path from now on. But custom roms still get better when official code is released.
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
And Cyanogen is good enough for me.

Here is a good rant on phone subsidies that seems to touch on this topic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vfkjOGPuls
[Nexus S General] mELIANTE:
Wouldn't it be a barrel of laughs if CM team actually released a stable CM9 before Google released (or re-released) ICS?:p
[Nexus S General] hp420:
issues???? where are these issues people keep talking about??? I've never had any!!! I've used almost every aosp available, as well as the 4.0.4 leak, and my ns4g has never had a single issue!!! **** them and their sorry ass excuses!! They need to hurry the hell up and update us. This is just becoming a giant joke....how can google even show their faces at MWC next to MS who pushed their update to every single device in under two weeks??

Google is starting to lose some serious credibility here, and I'm very close to jumping ship with my next device. I've always been a HUGE fan of google, but with this being my first experience with any nexus updates, you can't exactly expect me to stay loyal after all of this!!
[Nexus S General] vetvito:
Ok lets clear something up.

MS and Apple can push updates because SHOCKER...... they use cords!

Its not OTA like Google. Right now MS requires a cord and a computer to receive updates.

Dont know what's up with Google. I'm putting my money on Carriers slowing stuff down.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
iOS 5 does its updates OTA. Again, how they are pushed has nothing to do with it. Deals with carriers does have an effect. But the issue with ICS on Nexus devices is not carrier hold up at this point.
[Nexus S General] rasengan82:
According to twitter (last week JBQ responded some tweets), 4.0.4 still has some issues (telephony and kernel issues). Once that's fixed i bet we get our updates. All the OEM ICS OTA right now are on 4.0.3, which does have issues (at least on Nexus S).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] avetny:
XDA member*mikel.canovas*created a thread with a method that he found while browsing our fora that will consistently allow the GPS in the Captivate (we know all this crappy phone with huge gps problem) to get a lock on within 5 seconds, even being indoors! This fix also working with galaxy note.

First off - All credit goes to h3llstorm, as this is his genius fix and I'm just making a thread about it since most people don't even know about it.*

This is for*- anyone whose GPS has long lock times, and is inaccurate in navigation.*This*SHOULD*work with all 2.3+ roms. I stress should because I have used this a while back with GB roms and am using it now on CM9 (ICS).

What it does*- replaces /system/etc/gps.conf with h3llstorm's modified version that has much more servers and various tweaks.Results*- I'm able to consistently get locks within 5 sec and ~10m with multiple sats. Even indoors, results are similar.Many (including non captivate users) have reoved results as well.

On my CheckRom I got no locktime at all. ( indoor!!!). Its instantly navigate!

Original thread is here

How to use it:

Backup your old gps.conf (located in /system/etc) in case you prefer your old configuration. But you can always flash your rom again to get it back as well

Download h3llstorm's gps fix --* http://goo.gl/Ti0pp SD CardReboot into CWM and flashReboot and enjoy.

GPSNOTE*- first lock can take much longer that normal. Don't be surprised if it takes over 1 min. Results should improve from there. Should get ~ 3 sec locks, with multiple satellites.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] henke2:
Why would you want to fiddle with the Notes GPS settings? it works extremely well as it is. I always have a lock on multiplse sats within a couple of secs and rarely see less then 16sats beeing locked on after 10sec.

I just tested indoor where I got a lock on 17sats in about 3sec.

With the Galaxy S all tricks were welcome but with S2 and specially the Note with GLONASS too I se no point as it already is incredible.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robertberma:
By the way, did you read the posts on original thread? It is not working for every one. And than you post it here?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] grgsiocl:
its better to edit the config file and add the server address of your local region. ..if you don't want to edit then third party applications are available in market. ..no need to replace the file

For lazy people it is a good solution;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eliashadow:
Thanks for sharing.

I can see that the NTP_SERVER is ''us.pool.ntp.org''.

So, maybe is better for Europe users to change it to ''europe.pool.ntp.org'' (or any specific country, for example ''gr.pool.ntp.org'' for my country) before flash it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dahuzi:
I really really don't consider it's meaningful

Note can obtain and lock so many sats signal within few seconds. I don't think it's meaningful to do any mod.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robertberma:
No wrong because we all use american sattelites. We all depend on us sattelites.

So wrong info, europe do not have own sattelites for navigate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eliashadow:
So what for there are different servers?

In any rom you can see different servers in gps config, for example rocket rom always using de.pool.ntp.org.

Faster Fix doing the same too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fards:
Hmm another one getting credited for being "a genius " for using something thats been around for a long time (read years)...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robertberma:
We use navstar and that is been set free by ronald regean vs president to use for navigation all over. In europe we use galileo but not for ower diveses.

Did you ever heard about poland lanching a sattelite, we all use the same sattelites. Three for 3d persion. Does not matter where you are ore what it say in gps.conf.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BorisDeviant:
I think there is a misunderstanding here.

"Physical" satellite are american, and the same for all, obviously.

The servers you mentionned are NTP servers which allows for time synchronization, and quicker satellite fix time. It is related to A-GPS (stands for Assisted GPS).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sudisk:
[OT] Please spell check before posting. Three is not free [/OT]

NTP servers are time servers. Time has always been essential to navigation, even before the first satellite was ever launched. If all GPS users on the planet connected to the same time server to check time for satellite search, the servers would crash and you would never get a fix.

You CAN connect to any server you want, but the nearer (faster) the better.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eliashadow:
So am i right for generally is better to change ntp severs with our place?

Hello there ive got a real problem i dont know if its accutually a problem my SGW apps doesnt close even ive used task killers and keeps reloading in the task managr and eats too much ram how i can fix this cause its really annoying me
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
What is the apps called ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] diedo:
well most of apps i run facebook , messenger , even task killers ... seems weird to me .. the problem is when i kill these apps it kees reloading into the ram and uses you know large amount of it
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zLaxxar:
Some of apps such as messenger will run in background to push notifications to your phone whenever chat(for messenger) or facebook notifications is available .

Thats why even if you kill the apps, it will automatically run again.

And as far as i know, you cant choose not to run those apps in background, but you can choose not to enable notifications for some apps (such as facebook), hope that will stop those apps from running in background .
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Number one thing to remember....Android is Linux....not Windoze..

So things which cause problems in Win environment, such as Apps/Programs hogging resources, are not a problem in Android......

if system needs memory for a task or app, it simply kills whatever us unimportant or not currently in use....

and takes Ram it needs for new process.

Most Android purists frown on the use of Task Killers.....

in fact CM devs will not take a problem on board if you are using a TK.

Having said that, memory management can be improved....

try V6 SuperCharger.....search XDA for thread......

Also, dome interesting reading here:

http://mobworld.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/memory-management-in-android/
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] diedo:
well man i know the differences of these two operating system and over the ram use you know what it cause lots of hangs ... plus task killers do nothing and about that memory management article i've already read a bunch of them long time ago ... but i'll try the solution of disabling notifications and see what will happen .. thanks for your great follow bodies
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Well if you know do much you should know that:

killing auto-start apps/tasks is futile

turning off sync/notifications is an obvious solution for apps like Gmail, G+, FB, etc.

I made a suggestion which would help with memory management, but you seem to know everything anyway!!

other than that, I have difficulty understanding what exactly you are asking or saying!!

Kernel...bout it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darchstar:
to be honest, things have changed... just nothing monumental. there's a workaround i allowed for, for installing apps that wouldn't install earlier... that is to unmount the internal sdcard via storage settings, then install. i also added back in the pulsating battery light, and added back in the charging lights, because they weren't working in 031112. also, the kernel has been updated to fc114, obviously. also, there's no recovery you can flash from in this, anymore. that's to save everyone from making a big mistake ;). also, there are a slew of updates merged into mainstream cyanogenmod that made it into 031512, such as volume rocker to skip songs, and the allowance to manipulate root access in the developers menu.

tl;dr, check github.
