This ^^^...agree 100%.

There's a LOT of utilities out there for "wiping" phones, and some software is better designed and executed than other software... odds of a software flash damaging phone hardware irrevocably is incredibly slim, if not actually prevented by design. If I had to give odds, I'd bet on whatever tool or combination of tools you used didn't truly wipe everything, so that when you returned to "stock", it's possible something non standard remained behind that doesn't play well with the rest of the OS. This is the most likely explanation.

Searching a bit will reveal that there are a few different utilities for wiping your phone, including Super Wipe (already suggested in this thread). Reading will further reveal that they may work to varying degrees of thoroughness, and that not all wipe utilities are necessarily created equal.

Owner's choice of course, but if this were my device, I'd start with Super Wipe, do some googling, and see what the differences in wipe utilities are, and try again before giving up and returning the phone as defective.

I love Project Butter Improvements on this rom, and finally the stock Broswer is Usable!

Sucks that Light Flow Lite app (LED light wont shut off after clearing notice) and Wifi Tether wont work :(

Anyone get WIfi tether to work?

Native hotspot app kills my battery and gives me random Connection errors. :crying:

If one does not understand Roms such as this one have a high chance of borking their phone they should not be flashing anything

Seems my GPS has completely stopped working. It's just stuck on "searching for GPS". The little icon isn't even moving indicating that it is actively searching. Tried flashing faux kernel from franco r210 and it's the same. Also tried renaming the maps app that came with Vicious and downloading the one from the play store. No cigar..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Try clearing data in maps, or try uninstalling maps and downloading one from the play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Klathmon:
the gps problem was most likely a leftover issue from the June 30th 'leap second' (Google it), it should be fixed by now.

and on stock roms the WiFi goes into a 'lower power state' when the screen is off. Depending on how good of a signal you had or how far away you were from the access point, it could have had a bad enough connection in this state to effectively stop the download.

Am I the only one that this isnt happening to? All my LED noties work like they should. More so on V3 than V2. Im using Handcent and Whatsapp. Both have their own colors and they both shut off after I clear the message. The only problem I ever had was V2 sometimes would show the wrong LED color. Wait but then again I dont use Light Flow. lol Sorry, whats the purpose of it?

Make sure you wiped everything

Try flashing the stock kernel....

If that doesn't work use super wipe script, and reflash the rom

Sharing your pain...

GPS is the only feature still missing from "everything is groovy" list... because IT IS NOT groovy. There has been a LOT of help offered and some has worked... temporarily... but as of now my GPS Navigation is useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Funny mine works... its been confirmed it was the leap second screwing with everything. Everyone else has proven this to be true. So whatever you did yesterday trying to fix it is what caused it. Not sure what kernel your on but you may want to try switch to either trinity, faux, or stock.

Also are you on the newest radios? FC04/FC05?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Can "Maps" be uninstalled?

I tried with Advanced task manager and it was unsuccessful... can it be uninstalled? I seem to have tried everything... this thing is killing JB for me, and I am really digging the ROM and kernel.

Would someone... anyone please send me their GPS.conf file from their stock (unmodded or repaired) GPS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anthony92170:
If you astro or another manager you can remove the apk from zip. Reflash just wipe cache and then download from play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Yes on the radios...

If I go with a different kernel I have to set everything up again settings wise?

What would be the prep... wipe cache, wipe dev cache, wipe ?

what kernel would you try next? I am on V3.0 w R210 now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
What you need to do is use root explorer. Its in the market place, it costs money but is well worth it if your going to be modding your phone.

Mount as r/w

Navigate to /sys/apps.

Long press the map app and delete.

Download a new one from market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
No your settings stay

Yes on wiping cache and dalvik cache

In love with trinity, faux is awesome too

SO i flashed the bootloader first, then the LTE then CDMA, it was fine after the bl and LTE but after flashing CDMA it said I had an UNKNOWN BASEDBAND and I had no data connection, so I flashed the LTE again and now its all good. SO i dont know if I should have flashed CDMA first then LTE. My baseband now shows:

I515.10 V.EK05 / I515.FC05 which I think is what it should be. I also now have the PRIMELAB03 (or something like that) bootloader. Got scared there a second when it showed no baseband but its all good now. Thanks for the help

FWIW....

Success!

Thanks to Mark Manning talking me through a lot of scenarios and offering a TON of help.... I finally logged into recovery and reflashed Vicious JB V3. On top of that based on Mark's suggestion I threw on the Trinity kernel at the same time... WOOT... I have working GPS again, accurate and fast.

(Wipe both caches, reflash ROM, flash Trinity, reboot, no loss of settings or data)

I then manually installed the BT patch file from MWalt2.... I first tried his combo MMS, BT, WiFi and GPS file first and this RE-BROKE the GPS. After re-flashing again and checking... WiFi & GPS are working fine with V3 so all you need to do is to replace the bcm4330.hcd file found in /system/vendor/firmware/. So now BT, GPS & WiFi are all working tops. I haven't checked into MMS yet (hardly ever use it) but will update that as well.

I would have to say that I have noticed the Trinity kernel to be running smoother and faster than the Franco R210 that I was running... I cannot speak to the battery yet but will try to update this post ASAP.

Again... BIG THANKS to Mark Manning, what an awesome guy for so generously helping and schooling me through a long night and into the wee hours of the morning. Tried to offer to send him some thank you. money and he said he doesn't accept donations... what a guy!

Gotta say... I have been vocally dissatisfied with this phone/MPC thus far... I still think the Verizon model needs better data connectivity/reliability and battery life (BIG TIME) but JB and a smooth kernel sure does make a nice difference... I still have to learn about Trinity, BUT bottom line, this phone is getting much cooler/better... JB rocks big time. Google Now was worth all the hassle alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b4u2:
Which kernels have fast charge working now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CanyonR:
I did the same but not sure if that is helping yet. Still getting pretty poor battery life, not as good as my stock 4.0.4 was.

Currently using V3 with stock kernel but have also tried 210 and faux 16b6. Guess I'll try trinity next.

auto brightness

Yea it appears auto brightness is not working v3 with trinity kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hogowner:
I may buy the app....not only for the brightness...but also for the volume boost.

I am using volume + now....but it is still not as loud as on the non JB rom....I needs volume because I have the phone in a belt clip....and the belt clip in my front pants pocket

Edit::: anyone using this app? Is the volume louder and is the screen brighter?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
It is working

Its not that its darker it just has the gamma settings already defaulted similar to what's in cm9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] computerpro3:
The rom works fantastic, but unfortunately it's also completely useless due to the low volume.

For those in the thread who are saying Volume+ is not working,

it is not. It only works on music; not on notifications or ringtones.

I've tested this out with every combination of kernel and settings I could think of, with fresh wipes in between each reinstall.

Getting volume+ working or fixing the low volume bug needs to be the #1 priority; until that happens it's a neat novelty, but a useless daily driver rom. I can't even hear the phone ring from my pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ktownhero:
I'm calm as a cucumber my friend. I came here to inform people about the fact that they labeled this a "Fully 100% Functional" flash, and in reality they are using a highly unstable kernel that, in fact, damaged my phone.

I responded in the way that I did because I knew (as stated in my post) that somebody would reply implying it was my fault and/or say something rude. Low and behold, it was the first reply.

But don't take my word for it, here's a post from mark_manning:

Now you can stop doubting me and recognize that I'm contributing positively to this thread. The last thing we need in development threads are people that are so desperate to believe that something is 100% stable that they shun folks who provide data to the contrary.

Woke up and battery was at 78%, 10 mins later after light use it is at 71% damn. Yesterday I got like 3 hours outta one charge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pyro6128:
Correction, its useless to you as a daily driver. My phone is on vibrate all the time, but the alarm is plenty loud for me. You could have gotten your point across in a less rude way. Just saying we should be happy the devs are making such progress as they are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fordmanck:
Funny thing, Trinity kernel has given me more problems then any. I had to pull the battery 3 times this morning in one hour of using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] computerpro3:
Okay, I'll correct my statement:

The rom is useless as a daily driver for the 99.5% of the population that uses ringtones or notifications.

I'm not being rude; merely stating a fact. A phone that's ringtones and notifications cannot be heard isn't very useful.

I'm thrilled with the rom other than that and extremely grateful to the devs! But it probably shouldn't be called 100% functional in the OP - if I had known about the volume bug, I wouldn't have wasted my time flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:

How quickly you forget what the stock ICS rom was like before devs changed the volume.... its not a bug its stock android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Anyone else have these problems???

Let us know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ktownhero:
Yikes. My personal recommendation, because this ROM permanently damaged my phone, is to not let your desire to use JB override your better judgement. JB is not that big of an upgrade over ICS to put your phone at risk. I'll personally be running AOKP or CM until they release their own JB builds. At least I know they won't put my device at risk just so they can be "first".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
You do realize the only devs that built this was Google and it was released as a preview right ?

Go back to ICS please
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fordmanck:
All three times it locked up when I swiped to the right on the lockscreen to unlock. I am using SetCPU but I had the default governor, hotplug, and I forget the scheduler but it was the stock setting as well. I'm back on Franco for now but I'd be willing to test anything available.

*Edit - I'm fine with JB, I don't have any other issues. I know when I pull the battery to clear cache and dalvik and all is well after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kimboinatl:
I just did this as well. We'll see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ktownhero:
Google didn't include a highly volatile and unstable kernel and claim it was "Fully 100% Functional".

I'm sure it was an honest mistake, but it's a huge faux pas. I'm glad that you acknowledged that the Franco kernel you packed in is bad, but it's too late for some folks, like myself. You really should release a new zip right away that uses a different kernel.

NFL app not working. It's ok for now, but the season is just around the corner :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ktownhero:
Your first sentence is entirely uncalled for and completely inaccurate. But at least you are validating my position.

I did all of those things, and I'm back on the factory images and even relocked my phone (replacement arrives tomorrow). The phone is hosed.

I had the phone for 3 weeks with zero issues. I ran V2 for 2 days, no issues. I flashed to V3V and watched 1 YouTube video that resulted in the phone hard freezing and the speaker/mic never working again, even with extensive troubleshooting and expiring all available options. Is that empirical proof that the kernel is the culprit? No. But it's a pretty damning correlation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Your the only one and no you didn't do that I'm pretty sure you already said you used Odin which isn't the same.

So it's acknowledged, and yet I am getting responses of condescension from him. Franco is the default in V3V, else I wouldn't have posted my experience in this thread. I'm not implying that this will happened to everybody or even most, probably it's a rare thing. Maybe I have a lemon, or maybe I don't. The phone worked fine for 3 weeks and failed after using V3V for 10 minutes. You do with that information what you will.
