[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:
Been using wifi at home now and getting way better battery even tho I get good 3g/4g signal as well. The battery life is a lot better on wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wifi...and its not even close!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frigidazzi:
Wifi for sure. My signal is so hit and miss at home that I have started using airplane mode with WIFI on. I use groove IP (I don't make many calls) and Google voice app for sms. Battery life is wayyy up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Wi-Fi radio signals are far less powerful - mainly because they don't need to communicate over such a distance - and as such chew up less battery. Not to mention using Wi-Fi doesn't go against any quotas that you may have with your carrier, unless the Wi-Fi is through them too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DimeShake:
WiFi always, if available. If you leave sync on overnight, make sure you have WiFi set to never sleep as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carlangas20:
Wifi duh, 3g is too slow and 4g drains my battery too quick.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opiomorph:
I'm like thisclose to flashing an ICS ROM finally (still running Trigger 3.2, thinking about Euphoria RC2.1), but then I got to thinking: I haven't seen specific mention of Mobile AP on any of the ICS ROMs. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough? Do any/all of the ICS ROMs have Mobile AP available?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
Passion has a "Tethering and Portable Hotspot" option in the settings. I haven't tried it, but I assume it works like the rest of the ROM. I also assume all the other ICS ROMs have this as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjkmadison:

Great job, me want for gb! :P
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
GB doesn't support scrollable widgets :(
[Android Software Development] Cimer:
Very nice! I like it =]

Though if I may, I was wondering if you like the idea of having a slight shadow boarder for the to-do widget and adding icons in the app drawer for the widgets.
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
Do you mean a shadow border inside or outside the widget?
[Android Software Development] jaggyjags:
you sure about that?

maybe not many stock gb launchers.. but many launchers do, so is it compatible?

Edit: Tried it and said 'there was an error parsing the package'.
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
Those launchers do not use official APIs
[Android Software Development] Cimer:
Yeah, but I'm no means a design expert, it just seems a bit weird to go from that white to the ICS homescreen
[Android Software Development] ngh55:
MIUI does.... And it is gb

EVO-4G powered by FherraZ-Mod
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
It uses custom implementation of scrollable widgets. It does not support official APIs, that were released by Google with Android 3.0
[Android Software Development] ljordan2:
Nice job, I really like these Widgets. It really matches that ics feeling. Thanks:)
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
Thank you man ;)
[Android Software Development] creppo87:
Hey,

really nice work. Its possible to adjust the widgets in terms of transparence, colours in the future? So it better match calendar widget for example:)
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
I'm taking note! I think I'll implement this when widgets arrive to a stable form

Thanks for the suggestion :D
[Android Software Development] herrsch0rdev:
Very nice! A twitter-notification widget would be awesome <3
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
It is already in my todo list ;)
[Android Software Development] blackbearblanc:
Great work. Gtasks sync would be awesome.

Goes well with MinimalReader and Minimal Twidget..
[Android Software Development] blackbearblanc:

[Android Software Development] blackgin:

PS: I'm taking note of all your suggestions/bugs segnalations ;)
[Android Software Development] blackbearblanc:
Did we mention Gtasks sync?
[Android Software Development] blackbearblanc:
Oh. I did.. Must have been drunk
[Android Software Development] NanoNoodle:
Can/will these widgets be transparent? I want to be able to see the background as well because I like the look of it.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
Added suggestions list in first post. ;)
[Android Software Development] oedex:
Great job! just what I needed ... with corrections and options of themes, it would be perfect :)

good luck and thank you again

[Android Software Development] silentbob59:
Works great on the sgs2 with ics.

Any chance you could make them into separate installs?
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
Not in beta status. Maybe when I'll release them on market
[Android Software Development] gugapt:

[Android Software Development] jameslfc5:
Looks nice this, thanks
[Android Software Development] danielsf:
Thank you so much for these Widgets, they are fantastic. I have been looking for an easy & fast scrollable todo widget since I first got my old HTC desire a couple of years ago to keep track of my college work and its so nice to finally have one on my galaxy tab 10.1 & s2. :)

Just a suggestion, with the twitter feed widget, would you consider an option to choose how many posts to cache, so it won't make homescreen lag if you choose to only cache the latest 20 posts or something like that. And maybe pull the scrolling panel in the widget down when at the very top of the feed to refresh the feed? Thank you again, I am looking forward to buying them when you put them on the play store :)
[Android Software Development] blackgin:
Sure. The ability to chose the number of items is already in my todo list ;)

For what regards the "pull to refresh" feature (you're asking for this?) it is not possible to implement it in widgets. They are very limited :(

Oh and sorry everyone if I didn't answered your emails recently. :)

Recently I started to check my data usage via ics's feature in the settings menu. What I came across surprised me big time.

Is Google stealing my face?
[Nexus S General] kyouko:
nah, don't worry about it. it's must likely the dev of your rom who's stealing your face :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Rofl
[Nexus S General] MaxNXS:
That's strange indeed.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
I wonder if they are doing some algorithm computation which is tied to their database and have to send data back and forth. Kind of like voice recognition. Try putting the phone in airplane mode and then use face unlock. I wonder if it will default to the preset pattern.
[Nexus S General] kyouko:
This is what I was thinking too.

I went to the security settings and found out my phone doesn't have face recognition (AOKP ms4) :confused: I could have sworn I've tried it out before haha.
[Nexus S General] kyouko:
ok, at first i was joking obviously :D

But after downloading a zip to flash Face Unlock for my phone..it's kinda got me wondering lol

For one, I took a screenshot of the first page when setting it up. Last point says all the info is saved on your phone. (see below)

2nd, I've been using it for a few hours now and i have no face unlock data usage as of yet. I'll check it again tomorrow afternoon.
[Nexus S General] raducux:
Is there an update. Zip with face recognition for stock rom ? You guys know ?

You click on an app under data usage and it will show you the percentage used by that app.

Btw I don't see how you can think its photo shopped when it's 100% legitimate.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reedddd:
Hi,

I'm about to order a Galaxy Nexus but then I saw this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsYoxZiBTEA.

It says that this multitouch problem occurs with the GSM version also. So has this problem been resolved now or is it still apparent? Multitouch is very important for me and could be a dealbreaker if it doesn't work. So has it been fixed in stock rom or maybe any custom roms?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biffsmash:
No, the multi-touch issue is not fixed, and is still present on Stock 4.0.2.

As for custom ROMS, I have no idea.

It's extremely annoying as i've paid for games I can no longer use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hints:
Only 4.0.4 Roms dont suffer from this bug :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biffsmash:
Awesome news :) Hopefully an update will come along some time soon so I can remain stock :)

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
yea it was fixed in 4.0.4. I can't remember last time I experienced that bug.

Its a non issue. Strictly software bug. Already fixed and moved on. No worries.

It rarely happened when I was running older software, but if you want to remain stock, the fix is to power toggle your display. Else just flash a newer rom with the fix built in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
Can't speak for stock, but I haven't

noticed

the multi-touch bug with the exception of some ROM specific 3.0.8 kernels. Whether it's cured, or just not as apparent I'm not sure. I have a GSM phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
i tried the multi touch app and i don't have that issue.. running google stock 4.0.2 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
1) Why get a Nexus device to run stock?

2) Why run stock when there is AOKP?

3) What are you doing on XDA if you truly dont want to enjoy your phone?

Hasn't XDA taught your anything? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
im in 4.0.3 and have beaten wind-up knight, 9 innings pro, gta iii, shadowgun, and cant stop playing modern combat 3 online and no issues here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
Do you really think that? So why xda devs not work at Google? And why xda devs didnt make Android os before Google? Oh I know it..xda devs are not able to create it themselves :)

Seriously...custom roms surely add features, but surely add some bugs sometimes... I like custom roms, but what I mean is that if you have android, you have to thanks Google every day(after you can thanks xda devs)..don't forget it

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0097:
What I personally never experienced a multitouch bug on my galaxy nexus. I'm on stock 4.0.2 and have the GSM Version. Maybe it's because I have the white version with was released later than the black one in February?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Not even sure what your post has to do with what I said...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
I have a black GSM version on stock 4.0.2 and no multitouch issues at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justclimb:
This issue os pretty strange... the first time I installed FIFA12 the controls were a nightmare...

Now they perform faultlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisM001:
Issue is NOT present in stock 4.0.2 GSM. Tested with the same app (multitouch tester) that was used in the YouTube video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
It absolutely is present in 4.0.2 stock, because I have the issue and can confirm it with the multitouch test app and the fact that playing dual-stick games like Modern Combat 3 is impossible because of the bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmagruder:
Look, I know how to do all the rooting and flashing because that's what I did regularly with my Nexus One on T-Mobile. Now I have an LTE GN from Verizon, and I will admit I'm a little worried.

With HTC, when the power button was bad, or the phone's earpiece was bad, even though I'd unlocked the bootloader, I identified myself to HTC as a developer, and they honored their warranty.

I bought my GN through Amazon for $99 when moving to my fiance's Verizon account. Who do I talk to if something goes bad with the phone? Verizon? Amazon? or Samsung? And if I've unlocked the bootloader, will they honor their warranty? I've seen that you can relock the bootloader. True? Will it allow me to restore it to stock and re-lock the bootloader for warranty purposes?

I definitely want to get some of these irksome bugs addressed by updating, and I'm honestly not particularly fearful of bricking the phone. My only concern is if some aspect of the hardware goes bad...I want to not be out of luck on the device.

So, has anyone got any experience with this? Has anyone returned a defective GN that they'd unlocked and installed custom ROM stuff on?

Thanks,

Randy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
I think I'm OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisM001:
Do you use 4.0.2 GSM version? If yes, it must be a hardware issue, cause on my device multi touch works absolutely flawless. Multi touch tester and Antutu test don't show the issues of the video in the op. Modern Combat 3 works great without any multi touch issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GoogleAndroid:
Haven't noticed it on AOKP, and I specifically looked for it since I knew of the issue before I bought the phone. So flash AOKP and you won't have to worry about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Yes, gsm stock. Considering it's a known issue which has been apparently fixed in 4.0.4, it's a software bug.

It doesn't happen all the time and turning the screen on and off corrects the issue temporarily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
You can easily relock ghe bootloader and send it in for warranty repakr. Fhey have no way to tell that you were rooted and unlocked.

Verizon should handle all verizon nexus phones i believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
It doesnt happend at all to me on GSM version with stock 4.0.2.

Looks like it is a small hardware problem on the first batch of units that was resolved by a software workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
i havent notice that bug after installed MIUI rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
The bug has been fixed, it just hasn't been pushed to AOSP.

4.0.4

Hi,

glad to hear the update solved the multitouch problem! Wasted so much time on this issue because of Google's silence...

EP2008 (or anyone with 4.0.4), could you install PewPew ( https:// play.google.com /store/apps/details?id=com.jyaif.pewpew ) and tell me if the back button works? Pressing the back button in PewPew wasn't doing anything on the Galaxy Nexus :(

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
On pewpew, when I press the back button, I can see the button glow but it doesn't go back in the game menus.

I've had issues with the softkey buttons not responding on 4.0.4,but I'm not sure if it's related to the problem in pewpew or not.
