[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
Whenever the phone start to have issues to get a lock I do the following:

1 - Make sure you have a good data connection, Open GPS Test (I use the Chartcross version, not sure if there are other apps with a similar name)

2 - Once GPS Test is in the main screen, I click menu button

3 - In the menu, I choose Settings

4 - In the top part of the settings menu, I click Clear AGPS and wait about 10 seconds... Then I click Update AGPS and wait about 10 seconds as well

5- I hit back to go to the main screen of GPS Test, and wait until GPS signal gets a lock

Not sure why, but, once in a while I have to do that (I just use 4.0.4, stock, no changes whatsoever, ehrm, except for root). Usually phone gets GPS signal in less than 10 seconds, I've had the phone starting to take 1 minute or so twice to get the GPS signal lock, and in both cases, the above mentioned steps solved it.

P.s.: since you changed ROMs, you should also check your GPS settings (Configurations, Personal / Localization Services) Make sure that at least the two first items are ticked.

My GPS is terrible and takes forever to lock.

I suspect a h/w problem I will wait 2 more days to see if anything will change and after that I will contact Samsung. I have tried everything listed above and many more things before opening this thread but nothing seems to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 512jmann10:
Could be the modem?

It could be the modem. Probably needs to be updated or since were nearing the 4G LTE switch, Sprint could have their hands dirty with this issue until fully resolved. I had this issue with my HTC EVO 3d, GPS was a mess. But since I've changed the recovery and upgraded rom, its been working like a champ.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
A cold lock will take around 1:30min to 2minutes.

a hot lock takes 4seconds to 30 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arvylas:
I think that recovery has nothing to do with this and the network also. I'm using copilot that is a stand alone GPS. I should also have mentioned that I m a GSM user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arvylas:
Seems that GPS problem is solved without changing anything after 2 days not working. Its so weird! Last night and today I get a lock in under 10" .

Hi, I am just searching for a good Android watch, which is most important for use during meetings (not getting the phone, but just to decide to ignore phone calls or take the important ones in one view) and for fun in my spare time.

I know it is a bit geeky to wear something, but this one is less ugly than most of the other watches I found for Android.

I just found this website http://www.wimm.com/wimm_preview.html

Just curious if some one uses this or found an ever better looking watch.

Money is not the issue, it is for my birthsday so my wife pays for it!!!:D:D

I saw Sony Smartwatch, but I didn't like the design of that...

So, just looking for a good watch working with our device...

What do you suggest?

I have the same issue, but it's fairly random, but I am playing videos from a SMB share. Sometimes I'll get through an hour before it quits, sometimes 5 minutes. This is using MX Player, Dice player, and Rockplayer. They all have the same issue. In my case, it could be an issue with the device retaining the connection to the SMB share.
[Transformer TF300T General] Ready2Mosh:
Try dice player from the market, works really good!
[Transformer TF300T General] ryzilla23:
some people have had issues with their tabs where video intense application start to freeze, crash or quit. A factory reset seems to be the trick to fix this. Yes, you lose all your data and have to start from scratch, but potentially no more issues.

This is not a guaranteed fix, but many people have had luck with it.

[Transformer TF300T General] nullzorz:
Many intermittent pauses and crashes when watching videos over smb connection. Sometimes it will go for an hour or two with no problem, sometimes it's within a few minutes. Most often the tablet will reboot.

Pausing a video, then putting device into sleep mode, will always cause a reboot.

And, still not much luck in maximizing flash video playback, always crashes tablet in dolphin hd, or stock browser.

No, your phone doesn't get locked if you flash a new rom. I recommend you to flash the latest rom from sammobile.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
OK I have been reading threads in this forums and I'm sorta lost and annoyed. I read a thread saying that an official update for ICS can brick your phone so you need to do a full reset or something like that. I am confused as to why an official release 'might brick your phone' and I 'should proceed with cautions'. An official release of any OS should be stable and shouldn't cause such issues right?

I am pretty upset that ICS is still yet released for Galaxy Note, not talking about the prototype but the full software and still with the prototype it is 'risky' to update. Honestly I don't bother with custom OS, I prefer official releases and just have it rooted but now I am looking towards 'PARANOIDANDROID' rom, though I haven't flashed it because I'm waiting for it to be updated (so it can play MP4 and other stuff) but still its released faster than the official full ICS and has several features the android people should have added in the begining that are not added to ics. (Only one thing is PA doesn't have SNOTE which is kinda essential to the phone and I don't think the devs will add it) So because of this I also find it really dumb that our warranty is voided if we flash a custom firmware.

I am really confused as to what is happening and am I wrong at some part, can some one explain and post your thoughts about this topic. My point of this thread is just to ask about the 'may brick your phone' part and to see what you guys think about this entire thing with android and their prototypes instead of official releases and cfw. I truely blame android's (or samsung) latesness in releasing the OS for people opting for custom roms than sticking to the official ones. Android really has so much potential since it is 'open' unlike iOS but they are not bringing their A game to the table.

Can someone explain it more clearly, from what I understand if we flashed ICS leaks and flash back from recoveries we are bound to have issues??? Am i wrong, can someone explain??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kvsandeepreddy:
AFAIK.... paranoid rom is cm9 based which is perfectly safe... so worth taking a shot...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
we are on the same page mate...

i prefer stock + root/cwm.... i really dont bother with custom rom...

and this bug is the biggest troll on gnote
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
thank you kvsandeepreddy for clearing up my doubts, I flashed v1 of PA but lacked a few stuff and am so glad to see v2, but I doubt you can play mp4 files on the stock video player as android needs to release their source code and I really need that feature and hate other players, but anyway hope they would fix it all soon and port SNOTE (which I don't think they will but I keep saying it)

musashiro, I suspect you are still on GB like me and honestly I don't think it's worth it waiting for Samsung to release ICS, first they don't have an exact date for the full release and even if they did release a full update now, PARANOIDANDROID has soo many features that ICS lacks and won't be added.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662802

You can check this page out, it is the ROM, it's super cool and it's screen shots looks promising, also PA has both tablet and phone mode. I find it hypocritical when Samsung promoted the NOTE as a 'Phone? Table?' and force us with a phone mode indirectly making it a phone and making us the same as other normal phone owners when we clearly aren't. So PA sorta fixes it and gives us both phone and tablet mode making it truly a 'Phone? Table?' allowing us to chose which mode we want.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kvsandeepreddy:
Mate for playing videos use mxplayer app from play store.... i ve been using this player from my first day... i dont even remember using the stock player.... controls are easy too...

And regarding the s pen and others it is not possible because they work only in touchwiz framework and the pa rom is based on cm9 which has nothing to do with samsung.... u can try an app called papyrus beta whic is far better than snote....

Personally i hate the official ics and dint even use it for a day...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
I already currently use mxplayer, but I use it to only play .mov videos that I take using my iPad or iPod that I keep on my phone (home movies). I prefer the stock one as it has options for proper resize of videos and looks nice without ads. But thanks anyway for the suggestion and I will checkout papyrus, just hope that at least papyrus allows for proper backup, hope I enjoy PA just as much as you do (you seem like your having the time of your life with it)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kvsandeepreddy:
Yep... that is true... thanks to imilka.... but also looking forward to stunnerz next release....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
What rom is that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kvsandeepreddy:
That is the best rom ive used

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552554

Check that link.... but i dont advise u to flash now that because it is based on lp6 kernel which is easily brickable... but u are safe until u wipe in cmw.... neobuddy(stunner rom creator) is building a new rom as we speak.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
It's OK but from screen shots PA looks much more enticing than the stunner and since additionally you advised not to flash it now I will just stick to PA but Supernote looks cool, there is always something in every ROM that I want.... if only there was an ultimate ROM with everything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kvsandeepreddy:
Haha true... but not possible with some ppl liking the tw and others plain aosp etc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
Yea I guess your right, hard to please everyone. The entire aosp and aokp and others really confuse me but honestly from what I have seen so far, (alot of YouTube demos of roms) PA looks the best and the PAD on it is a big deal but I decided not to flash v0.2 yet and wait for some more updates as people are commenting on issues with battery and something about SD and internal cards being switched or something and other issues. I really want that rom but the issues people comment about are pretty crucial to be fixed especially battery so I guess I'll just wait for a more stable update. Is it wrong to say v1.0 is a real release and 0.2 is still beta??

[HTC One X] gaurangsaini:
It's been over a month since I got my beautiful One X. It's been flawless(except the battery life, of course) :D

About 2 days back while caressing my phone in my hand during a movie, I felt a slight 'bump' on the back, right above the HTC logo. It is not easily visible - but surely there.

GSMArena also had this bump on their 360-degree spin model.

Is it widespread, or a serious issue? should I ask for a replacement from HTC?

:(
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
Mine has it too, didn't even notice :-)

let's hope it's not a foamy LiPo battery :)

as far as i know every device has this bump. but its nothing wrong with it.
[HTC One X] DanRZ:
Hello, mine don't have this bump and is totally flat ...
[HTC One X] gaurangsaini:
Oh! you absolutely sure? do you have a carrier-branded device?

Also, is your phone the global quad-core version, or the LTE/dual core one?

__

If the bump doesn't exist on brand new phones, can it be a result of the frequently-heating Tegra processor on a regularly used device? I've received a warning once from my battery widget, which said battery temp above ideal temperature.

I personally feel this can be risky business due to the fact that puffed up batteries aren't exactly safe

No bump on my EU model, totaly flat, but it's 5 days old.

I infact googled it they sent me to this thread.. anyhooo glad to find out that many of us having the bump and by reading all the comments it seems like the bump increases with the time so its because of the heat the cpu plus gpu generates..

Next a-little-better-and-would-be-high-end, but no S4Pro, so sorry Sony - after my X10 and Play (why you canceled ICS update? You could relase it later -.-) I won't buy your device again if you don't use quad-core or just new MSM8960, cause you stay again on nearly-high device....Your style of Xperias is best, but hardware is important too....And support :|....
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Yeah Sony is perfect, except for their outdated hardware. Really, it would boost sales if they would release phones with some REAL hardware.
[XPERIA X10 General] DiKeJ:
.....with real LONG and good support :).
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
I'd say the best support. Look what they do for Developers, their website. They provide us so much information and help. Their phones have a really good user experience, the only thing that lacks is the good hardware.
[XPERIA X10 General] DiKeJ:
Good words, you're right. But I think they shouldn't leave Play cause of touchpads problems and gaming experience - they should relase is after all 2011 Xperia. Why they relased beta if they canceled all update, it's quite s*it - the same problem like with X10 (and all 2010 line -.-). What's next? Arc? :D
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
I understand why they canceled it, at some points ICS was a bit more laggy on the Arc then with Gingerbread. I don't know how it affected the Games frames per second, but I think this is what they're pointing at. Also some websites reported that game developers didn't want them to release ICS for the Play because they didn't want to develop for ICS or atleast something in that way. This wouldn't have happened I think if they used some good hardware.
[XPERIA X10 General] DiKeJ:
Let's hope they relase PSP games like anounced Daxter or Syphon Filter etc. + Playstation Suite. And hope developers like EA and Gameloft will still support Play, long possible, cause this device is very good :).
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
I always liked my PSP, and I'm sure alot of people like the special gamepad on the XPERIA Play. I hope for you guys the game developers will still release good games for you. I unfortunately had to sell my PSP cause I had a goal to buy a new computer and I wasn't really using it anymore. It was a great device, I hope their next Playstation phone will have monster specifications...!

What you could try is e-mail Sony developer team, and ask them maybe for some sources so you can build a custom ICS ROM (with maybe Sony UI) and a fully working gamepad. You could try it, you're a good ROM developer and I believe that you can do it with some help of Sony. So, try it out! We already got some x10 sources, so why wouldn't they help you a little out with this? :D
