I think what it means is modification for android linux kernel is merged back to mainstream android. If I'm not mistaken, previously the modification android linux kernel was removed from mainstream because of lack of maintenance.

[Vega General] nsviper90:
Hello everyone. Just got my Vega few days ago and was wondering how long does your battery last? Mine just sits on stand by with casual 5min playing and little bit of WiFi and goes down in 22h. I am with VegaComb 3.2 buld 8.1 . And the other strange thing is that after it goes below 50% suddenly it freezes or just shuts off and I have about 15%...its really strange. Thank you all in advance for the help.
[Vega General] richardmlea:
Honeycomb uses more battery than stock roms because it make proper use of the Tegra 2's hardware acceleration features. This makes the vega run hotter and use more power. Apps that make use of hardware aceleration and use the GPU will eat up you battery.

That being said check your battery usage in settings to see where your power is going.

It's possible that you need to calibrate the battery stats.

Charge it for 12 hours so its fully charged.

boot to recovery.

go to advanced and select wipe battery stats. Your power meter will now work properly.

It is also possible that you wifi is not switching off when it sleeps, check in wifi settings (I think the setting is there, but i have not used honeycomb for a while).

Good luck

KI8 is the newest Gingerbread Three ROM apart from the ICS build released today.

I don't have it to upload though, I only have I9100XWKE1 which is a very old build, But if you can't find KI8 Three stock anywhere I'll upload it somewhere for you.

[edit] Infact I have KI8 on my PC if you can't find it online let me know.

Personally though I'd just flash LP7 much better than LPQ that Three have released today & not as much bloatware!

I don't see why not.

I would learn the "manual" way of doing this with fastboot/adb commands as well. That way if/when an issue comes up, you'll have a plan B if this tool doesn't work for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpinsl:
The latest version supports 4.0.4 ROM, so yes. [edit] But I had better luck using mcskip's toolkit as Wug's left it a partial root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
You can use the GNex ToolKit to root any build on your phone and its always a good idea to unlock the bootloader early so yo udont have to wipe the phone after you have it all set up how you want.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_other_ray:
I read that 4.0.5. might be coming out in April. I'm unlocked and rooted on 4.0.2. CDMA version. Will I be able to update without losing root?

And if I do lose root, can I use Wugs tool kit to root again?

I don't want to have to wipe my phone if I don't have to. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
When you update OTA then you will always lose root but as soon as any updates are released I will update the GNex ToolKit so Stock Roms can gain root access.

[Atrix 4G General] beermotor:
Since I'm kind of a newbie, this isn't so much a HowTo as it is a HowIDidIt. Follow at your own risk...

I had to send in my Atrix for a warranty replacement because the WiFi inexplicably died. Kept saying "error" and wouldn't connect anywhere. Very annoying.

I used Motorola's software update tool on a windows box to flash to the .141 update, which removed the "unlocked" bit. Somehow, though, it dorked up the OS to the point where the status bar was disappearing, phone wouldn't auto switch to incoming calls, etc. Also very annoying. So when the replacement phone came, and I put my SIM card and SD card in, it had the same issues with that. Basically it was barely usable.

Using my linux box, I booted the phone into RSD mode and used sudo ./sbf_flash to flash the 4547-fix-try2.sbf file onto the phone, which allowed me to reboot the phone into fastboot mode and use sudo ./moto-fastboot oem unlock the phone. At that point, I got stuck with the "Failed to boot" business. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528729.

Then I realized I needed some sort of recovery app installed, and didn't have one, so I found this guy's work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 and used moto-fastboot to flash the recovery program into the recovery partition.

Next I needed a ROM to install, and I took the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528729 poster's recommendation to use Neutrino. Downloaded the zip, pulled the SD card out of the phone and stuck the zip on it, put the SD card back into the phone and booted the phone into recovery mode. Then I chose install from SD card, and installed the zip.

After install it gave me a slight scare when it didn't get past the opening motorola screen without rebooting itself, but that must have been part of the process cause it worked fine after that and booted into Neutrino. Which, I'd like to add, is pretty nice. I added a bunch of the add-ons that I use (various syncs, google stuff, and the alarm clock) by downloading them, putting the zips on the SD card by USB, and installing through booting the phone into recovery mode as with installing the ROM itself.

Now I have a usable phone again, yay!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] res1n:
I've searched threads, and across Google and most all point to the same result. I'm trying to shrink the font size on Gingerbread. I switched back from ICS due to the battery issues I was having and ICS let me adjust font size without problems.

Modifying the density with the root programs made my market screw up and throw me the error " This app is incompatible with your device". Changing density back fixed the issue. Is there another setting I can add to build.prop that can adjust font size? Has anyone had any luck changing font size without changing screen density?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
Not sure really. I only have used the one included with roms which I'd assume is not the pro version. Did you reboot after changing it? I haven't changed it in a while because I found the default font size was good enough for me. If that isn't working I'm not sure if there's any other app. Perhaps you could use rom toolbox to change fonts and get something closer to what you desire.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
In case you didn't know, the Note can use GLONASS instead of GPS (Click on the words to read more).

People use GPS like "Xerox", "Coke", or "Kleenex"... but nevermind that.

What is your GPS/GLONASS lock time with A.GPS (Assisted GPS (network location)) and sensor aid on??

Please describe whether you are outside or inside. I am also particularly interested the lock time from a fresh boot or if you're using GPS from a new location.

IMPORTANT: Please note (excuse the pun) down, when you launch Maps or Nav and the arrow shows up almost instantaneously, I would like to know IF *sometimes* the GPS reticle on the status bar continues to flash/blink for a while.

Why do I ask? My Note takes anywhere from 3-12 seconds to lock when GPS is "hot" and takes 10-25 seconds to lock from a reboot in doors while stationary.

Compared to my Sprint Evo 3D, GSM Galaxy Nexus, or the iPhone4s that I never use, that is slow. When I powered up the Galaxy Nexus for the first time, it locked under 5 seconds! My Evo 3D would lock from a boot in under 5 seconds. The 4s is super fast also. The Note, with GLONASS, is supposed to be faster and more accurate...

Thanks.

Edit: Interesting discovery today--the slow lock and low precision in my car may be because of my car--but it may also be revealing limitations in GLONASS:

Every piece of glass on my car is double-paned (twice as thick as the typical car glass), sandwiched with a polymer layer, along with an IR rejecting coating. This is designed to keep the interior very quiet, makes the glass theft resistant, and the IR coating reduces the heat that enters the cabin (heat travels in the form of infrared). The IR coating, unfortunately, also rejects other radio frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. That, along with metallic particularized tint, causes a reduced radio performance for any device that is in the interior of the vehicle.

I usually don't have any problems with the GSM/UMTS or CDMA phones, and GPS has no problems either (although I notice a reduced s/n ratio). As I indicated before, other GPS-based phones lock fine, and the GPS+GLONASS iPhone works fine also.

As I was driving home today, I tried opening the window. I noticed that every time I opened, the phone would get a quick and solid lock. Every time I closed, the uncertainty circle appears.

Is it possible that GLONASS, operating at 1.6Ghz, using FDMA is less able to penetrate certain objects than GPS operating at 1.57Ghz using CDMA? I presume civilians are still only using the coarse channels so that doesn't help. It is interesting to see that GPS have no problems in my car while GLONASS does. I will drive another car tomorrow and see if there is a difference.

Please note (excuse the pun) down, when you launch Maps or Nav and the arrow shows up almost instantaneously, I would like to know IF *sometimes* the GPS reticle on the status bar continues to flash/blink for a while.

Thanks for the information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
I was excited for the GPS capabilities in this phone before I bought it, but my experiences have been far worse than everyone elses. Google Maps is loaded for about 5 seconds before it even STARTS trying to acquire a position. And even then, while indoors it takes a good 20 seconds to lock on. My iPhone 4 locks on indoors in about 3-5 seconds.

With the note, many apps think I'm 10-15 miles away while indoors. Especially with weather apps that just want a quick location fix but don't leave the GPS on during use. At first glance everything thinks I'm far away. Chat apps that only use GPS when sending a message have the same problem. Navigation apps that leave the GPS on during use are accurate. It's annoying. Never had an issue like that on my old phone.

Outside though, the Note seems to lock on nice and quick, within about 2-3 seconds upon starting acquisition, and my accuracy is generally at 3 meters or less. Even my $650 handheld GPSr doesn't have that level of accuracy.

EDIT: The notification bar icon DOES continue to blink for several seconds after achieving a lock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
As for accuracy, this is a function of the number of satilites that you have locked onto. I believe all you need are 2, possibly 3 for accurate elevation, however the more you lock onto the more acurate you are. This is why "quick" on and off checks are rarely very accurate. however, with weather, the phone grabs your location and then queries the closest whether center, which is very rarely in your neighborhood. Typically it's your closest airport or military base, so this will atleast be 20-30 miles away, but often in same or neighboring zip codes.

For the indoor, thing, I never expect (nor really use) reliable GPS signal indoords. Just because you get a lock doesn't mean it'll be enough locks to do much. I rarely get lost going from my kitchen to the latrine anyways, but I suppose with enough beer it could happen. I would suggest (and you probably already have) check to make sure you make use of "use sensor aiding" option.

If all else fails, I will loan you my vibrant and you can experience a man-tantrum in your car when the fking thing wont lock after 5 minutes and your lost as **** and late as hell and google maps keeps freezing and FCing. That'll make you want to wine and dine your other devices for treating you so well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
I believe you need at least 3 for triangulation (location) and 4th to give elevation.

Another interesting thing I noticed about my Note--even if it locks quickly while I am stationary, it looses lock when I am moving (driving). I had my Sprint Evo 3D, Verizon Galaxy Nexus, Sprint Galaxy S Epic 4G, GSM Galaxy Nexus, and the Note side-by-side on the dash. The only phone that keeps losing and reacquiring the lock the the Note (especially while traveling at freeway speeds).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blazeplacid:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Really? Your complaining about 12 seconds to a gps lock? (regarding the OP)

Give me a break...

My DEDICATED GPS Tomtom unit takes over 2 minutes to get a lock, I consider it a blessing that my phone locks faster than a dedicated gps.

Good Lord...

My guess is you are one of those that complain about your browser taking more than 2 seconds to load as well.

Regarding gps stability, there are a couple of different things to try, namely one of the more rare things is calibrating the compass. There are many videos on Youtube, just search 'smart phone calibrate compass'. You'll find 3-4 different methods, any will likely work. And yes, the compass does affect the gps keeping a lock in speeds higher than 20 mph.

Another thing to try is downloading the latest gps satellite data. There are several apps available on the market that can do this (GPS Test, GPS Essentials, and GPS Status all do this).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
Why so excitable and quick to judge? "Give me a break..."? "Good Lord..."? Really?

Your TomTom uses GPS, not GLONASS and does not have Assisted GPS. GLONASS and A.GPS should allow a faster fix. With these new and additional technologies, the phone SHOULD get a much faster fix than your TomTom. You're comparing apples and oranges.

My Evo 3D, Galaxy Nexus, and other phones I metioned, with GPS (no GLONASS) and A.GPS will almost ALWAYS get a fix in 2-5 seconds. If enough research is done here at XDA, you will find that many newer devices, if working properly, *should* get a lock in under ten seconds. Your "DEDICATED GPS Tomtom" [sic] is a different and arguably less advanced animal.

Another example--the built-in GPS in my two vehicles lock IMMEDIATELY when the car is on. Why? Because they remember the last location, use brake sensors, steering angle sensors, and accelerometers to determine location. If they do not lock immediately, something is wrong.

If you re-read my original post--I am trying to figure out if others have the same problem, and attempting to understand what others are experiencing. At the same time, I provided information on GLONASS, in case other owners didn't know they had it.

For a just-released, $650 device, I expected mine to perform on-par with other phones. Perhaps mine is defective? I wanted to find out if I need a replacement. Last checked, this forum is about people asking questions, sharing information, and learning something. To that end, I am puzzled at your comments--it seems like *you're* the one who is complaining...

So yes, really!

Really? Really?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
Yes, I suppose...

While I'm her--there is also F GPS (fake GPS, provides coordinate of your choice to the location manager), GPS to MMS (allows you to send a text/MMS with your current coordinates), and GPS Speedo (a nice GPS-based speedometer). :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
See the edited OP. I made an interesting observation today. It seems like GLONASS signals are less able to penetrate objects...
