Wish I was that easy, it can't find my location for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hero_of_the_day:
I'm with you. Had the dongle for a few days now, GPS still doesn't work. My signal gets better according to whatever GPS program I downloaded from the market, but google maps still doesn't lock onto me.

EDIT: Grabbed my device so I can give actual info. I'm using GPS Test. Without the dongle it sees 0 satellites in view. With the dongle it jumps to 16, but "In Use" stays at 0, which I assume means it's not locking on. I have had better before where the in use went up to like 6 or so I believe, but it didn't last long. Before I could even get directions in google maps, it would say signal lost. I've driven around with it once to make sure it's not my location and it never locked on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
Just called Asus "support" about this.

Like everything else, they are of no help and just told me to RMA it (dongle AND tablet ). Like I'm going to do that. Haha

I wouldn't have even bothered but I'm going on a trip this weekend and it would have been nice to use it. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] originalnabisco:
After finally finally getting my GPS dongle, I put it in and was confused because I thought there would be a notification of sorts appearing. There was no notification. So I tested GPSTest. No GPS.

However upon waiting for about 2 minutes, out of the blue, satellites starting appearing very rapidly and I got locks very rapidly as well. (Which I would have never gotten with stock GPS)

It seems like it does work, but there is some initialization time for the GPS dongle. Or maybe I just have a faulty dongle. But at least it works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Initialization time is around 2 to 5 minutes, just let it sit and have some patience.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
Jesus H christ, people!

(1) YOU DO NOT NEED FURTHER SOFTWARE SUPPORT. AS LONG AS YOU'RE ON .21 YOU'RE GOOD.

(2) YOU NEED AN APP LIKE SYGIC OR COPILOT TO NAVIGATE AROUND WITHOUT INTERNET CONNECTION.

(3) YOU NEED TO PLUG THE DONGLE INTO YOUR TFP AND GIVE IT SOME TIME TO LOCK ONTO THE GPS SIGNAL.

This place is like an amusement park. It never ceases to amaze me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
"amusement park"??? I'm thinking that it's more like a Day Care Center, filled with over-indulged, Narcissistic children.

Some info on getting a GPS lock - The first lock will take some time. It varies, even with dedicated GPS units. If you're lucky, about a min but it could take longer. I've had units that have taken well over 5 min.

Why? Because the GPS receiver has to download an entire emperis table to be able to triangulate your position. The best results are obtainable when the Sats are about 45 Degrees off the horizon...If they are directly overhead or on the horizon, it takes longer to do the triangulation.

The data that it downloads is only good for 7 days. If you don't use it in a week, it discards the data and starts all over again.

There can also be a problem if you move a great distance between readings, such as Locking your position on your drive to LA Airport - then turning everything off, and not restarting it until you arrive at Dulles Airport in Virginia.

That did happen to me one time, flying from Albany, NY to Washington, DC with a stop at Newark....When I turned my GPS on at Newark, showed I had a locked signal, but the map showed my location as in the middle of a lake in Northern NY.

Another issue some may run into is "correct" altitude measurements. That is really determined by the software app. Some vendors use a "true" circle as the shape of the earth - others use a "neat" oblong shape. The earth is neither of those. Some apps will allow you to add a correction factor, if you know your true altitude....most don't.

The last issue that can show up for some users is that

it doesn't work at all inside your car, but will work outside the car

. The cause of this issue is a "heated" front windshield. The only solution to that issue is an external antenna (or placing the GPS receiver outside the car). Sometimes having the receiver near a side or rear window will solve that issue. Don't know how you'll solve it with the dongle.

One app that MAY help reduce the amount of time it takes to achieve a lock is "GPSFix" in Google Play. It is supposed to keep it active, using AGPS, giving the sats and app a chance to achieve lock. Since I haven't gotten my dongle yet, I cannot verify that it works as advertised.

I do believe that the dongle will WORK AS ADVERTISED. Any issues you have are probably user issues caused by the lack of knowledge on how the GPS really works.

Happy driving

Well yeah as the title suggests has anybody managed to port google chrome.onto gingerbread? And no I can't change to ics because I'm hboot 1.23 s-on
[HTC Sensation] abdalla21:
what good is your statement without sharing it?
[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:
1)REF Post above-It was a question, not a statement.

2) To the OP,- it's almost impossible, as Chrome relies on ICS. From the Framework to the Coding. Although I'm sure it will not stop someone out there from trying to port it.

What is this then?

I've been reading all over the internet that there is no Chrome for 2.x

What exactly is this then? I installed it and it works and I can browse the web (with Flash).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Your better battery stats log is only four and half minutes long, it doesn't match the time period you have screenshots for. I think you may have hit the "set custom ref" button when you were taking these readings or otherwise reset the recording.

While you do clearly have a wakelock issue of some sort (needs a full log to diagnose), it doesn't seem to be introducing a lot of battery drain. 6% over 7 hours is pretty great for idle drain.

Also, each entry in your battery usage is % of the amount drained, not your total battery. For these stats, you're down to 76%, so you've drained 24%.

-"Dispositivo inactivo" is the amount your phone uses to maintain its signal and power the radios. It's used 22% of 24%, so about 5% of your battery.

-"Telefono inactivo" has used 50% of 24%, or 12% of the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] killar_aka_arabu:
Hello to all.

my battery charge to 50% in 7 minutes. after reboot, battery indicator show me 38%.

is it normal?

Battery: 3.7V 1200mA

i am using charger from huawei u8180 (3.7V and 1200mA)

my original phone charger output 5V and 0.7mA, but when i plug in to my device, touchscreen not working.

when i'm using data conection (3g), battery discharge 3-5% every 20-30 secs.

can be problem in my battery? i need to buy a new one, or i need a new charger?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kitrax59:
Well, the phone charges fast with the huawei charger since it is a fast charger.. 1700 mA compared to 700mA of the original.. the original charger seems to be broken though. Battery drop with 3g is quite normal. You can't do anything with it.. here's a tip, when you charge, check Status in About Phone.. if it says 100% but still charging, do not unplug. Only unplug charger when it says Full.

I've noticed that multiple people, including myself, have had multiple issues with random reboots on various ICS roms. Well it was driving me crazy, so I decided to catch it in the act. Please see this from my logcat:

I went back through several saved logcats after these reboots, and the signature looks the same. It looks to me as if the WiMax service (WimaxService.java) is calling an invalid method (com.android.server.WimaxService.access$1002), and causing android server to crash with a FATAL exception.

Now, I'm not a programmer, but does anyone have any ideas on how we can investigate the code and see if we can make a workaround? Thoughts anyone? I'll keep at this.

Hi,

Is there a settings/app/widget that can bring you back automatically to the default home screen after x minutes of inactivity?

So if you were doing something on another home screen or app, then you put your phone away for x minutes , then when you unlock you are back to your default home screen ;)

Hi,

I have a simple question I haven´t been able to get a clear answer for. Can someone clarify the difference between the version? For example out of the following 3 which is newer?

XXLPS

XWLP4

XWLP7

I was under the impression that the last digit went from 1-9 and then a-z but I´d like to be sure if it´s like this or letters first and then numbers.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that. Is there anywhere I can get an explanition of the coding? Right now I´m using XXLPS and looking for an update so I´m going to give XWLP7 a try but I´d like to understand a bit better how it goes for future updates.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
What it USED to be, the first two letters were country/carrier codes, and the last three letters/numbers indicate year, month, and build.

So for example, XXKI3 (an old version), XX indicates a region of Europe, and K = 2011 (K is the 11th letter), I = September (9th letter), and 7 is the build number.

See here - it's in the Galaxy Note section, but Samsung uses the same codes for most of their mobile device products.

However, as you can see, the current ICS codes don't follow this convention. So who knows how they are coding them now.

Superuser will prompt you when it's needs root access for something (i.e. using a application requiring root) and you will have the option to allow or deny this access. You shouldn't need to configure the application itself unless you just want to change some basic settings. Hope it helps!

some funny things I did (don't try this at home)

I've formatted the mounted internal SDCard as NTFS and guess what, it didn't mount properly (as expected) by the operating system - but using gscript, it did mount properly in windows.

After that, I used adb shell to gain access to the device to manually mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 and voila, it supports NTFS - though root explorer etc. It's not practical (as the OS reports the /sdcard/ is not mounted - even though it is), but still fun to investigate.

Autmatic Mounting and Unmounting

Hello,

I hate MTP so much that I cried tears of joy after seeing this post, so thx Doomlord!

The only thing annoying was always having to manually Mount / Dismount.

So I went and made a Tasker Profile that complete automates this :cool:

You need the following for this to work:

Tasker

Autoshortcut

Locale Power Source Plug-In

Step 1:

Follow Doomlords awesome instructions on page 1

Step 2:

Install all of the above mentioned Programs

Step 3:

Download the attached ZIP File and extract to /sdcard/Tasker/profiles

Step 4:

Import the profiles by long pressing the "Profiles" Button in Tasker (top left) and then pressing import. And don't forget to engable the profile.

Step 5:

Now everytime you connect to USB the drive gets mounted, everytime you disconnect it gets dismounted.

It should work with Locale instead of Tasker, too but I don't own that programm so I haven't tried.

Enjoy :)
