Oh excellent! If this is something you tend to keep up with, it could be really cool to have a themed gapps package for jb. I'd certainly be interested. Thanks again!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rankiz:
The new update of Google maps 6.7.0 denies you to save cached areas for offline viewing. It's a common problem and many users report of the message "Not available" when they try to save an area for offline viewing.

The solution:

So solve the "Not Available" problem in Google Maps (Android), you simply download the older version, 6.6.0 from this place and installs it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
good stuff man, i dont really like this new feature of the gmaps thingie... will keep this version for a bit.

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

The off-line caching has been moved from the labs settings .

Later versions

now turn cache on via settings .

Go to map location Menu Make available offline Select area = new off-line map

So instead of hitting the address and opening a search bar that includes Off Line cache this area . It is now in the menu settings .

But where do maps saved ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killchain:
When you're off Wi-Fi or 3G/4G, you'll have 'OFFLINE LIST' below the map.

For me, 6.12.0 sometimes shows this 'Not Available' and sometimes fails to completely download a map, but deleting the unfinished download and restarting the application seems to fix it.

P.S. Came here from Google and just now saw that this topic is in the S III forum - well, I don't think this issue is specific to it - it also manifests on my Galaxy Nexus.

Another Work around?

Back when I was using a jail broken iPhone 3G....there was a method of downloading ALL Google Maps files you wanted via a special program and then storing them in the iPhone for use off line. This activity was NEVER envisioned by either Google or Apple.

Why can't this feat be duplicated for Android?? Would solve all those irritating, "Map not available for this region" problems...

Anyone with 4.2.2 or newer,successfully installed the 6.11.1 maps application?

You have to root the device, then install an app (such as Titanium Backup) for removing the system application. At this point you are able to install the old versions of google maps :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Here's a little tip about rom manager and flashing a recovery through it that many fail to realize until it's too late, lucky for me I got a heads up a while back when I was on the T989, once you flash a recovery via rom manager, you can only boot into that recovery using rom manager, therefore your phone has to boot to be able to use recovery, now, let's say you end up in a bootloop, how are YOU gonna get into recovery to fix your phone? Think about that, we don't have a CWM recovery.img at the moment for you to flash manually if you prefer CWM, but by all means, do as you please, we all have personal preferences and for someone that isn't s-off and isn't too comfortable with the ways of adb, etc as yet, I'd advise the simplest things for now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
Before 4ext was posted and I was on my g2 I used cwm(like everyone else). you were able to boot into recovery same as 4ext. Some had issues but I never did. Is something on this device preventing it from functioning like it did in g2?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
Actually for me, once I flash cwm from rom manager, it stayed on my phone. Happened with my nexus 1,s, galaxy s2, and now this phone,..so I guess for some it sticks and others or may not. I say just try it and change if you want to
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
To each their own, as I always say, do what makes you comfortable, it's all down to personal preference.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mike102871:
Not sure what you are talking about. I can get into recovery without going through Rom manager. Through Rom manager was how I got clockwork. I my phone doesn't need to boot to get into recoveryive used it on 4 phones with no problems..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
As I said. To each his own, calm down and stick to what you like.

I was wondering if anyone got this mod to work on any ics rom?

If so then how you install it over ics?

Using it for gingerbread I have tremendous battery life without losing performance.

I just set wake to interactive (freq=1404,192) and sleep to conservative (freq=192,192).

The only reason why I still use gingerbread is because of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
All the OC daemon is its another way to OC and UV you can do that with set CPU or system tuner they will work just the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] h1a8:
Thanks but I use the daemon not for that but for using wake profiles.

For example, the sleep governor I use conservative with max freq=192 and min freq=192

the wake governor I use interactive with max freq=1404 and min freq=192

With set cpu I can only apply 1 governor only and I can't set a max sleep frequency.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Well i tried for you to see if it would work and it would not perminately activate the profile i set.

[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
I have a battery scenario that I'd like some input on, and hopefully I'm coming at this from an angle that is not entirely repetitive / redundant / already addressed ad nauseum.

My girlfriend and I lucked out, and our phones (mine a Sensation and hers an EVO 3D) use the same cells. We're not big on cable-charging our phones, and tend to just charge & swap in fresh batteries instead. We've bought countless "$2.50 ebay specials", and as you might expect, we've never been blown away by them. So, after reading up on this forum, I decided to do the label-removal-check, and indeed, a lot of our batteries are 1000mAh lipo packs inside a package that claims 1800mAh etc.

Here's where my question becomes NOT just another "choose the best battery" thread.

We're heading out next month for travels that may leave us without the ability to charge batteries/phones for weeks. We've got a few other external power solutions going on, but at the lowest level, I'd like to have a sizable stock of phone batteries (~10 or so) on hand. And while I'd love for those 10 cells to be Anker cells, our budget doesn't have space for that kind of expense. I'm grabbing an Anker for my day-to-day use back in reality, but for this trip, we need a handful of markedly less expensive cells.

What I'm looking for, are inexpensive cells, that don't completely suck.

I'd like a balance of cost and energy storage. Dollar per mAh, the $2.50 fake eBay cells are actually the best deal (when you consider a true capacity of 1000mAh for $2.50 versus 1900mAh for $15+). But I'm hoping that there's something that can reliably hit closer to the 1500mAh mark, without octupling the price. In my mind, $5 for 1500mAh would be more attractive than $2.50 for 1000mAh, or $15 for 1900mAh. Does anyone know of a cell / seller / brand / store that might be worth looking into?
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Buy power banks they hold like 5000mah each which gives you 3-4 charges and then you can recharge the power bank or either for travelling get those cheap battery you bough before but make sure to get a ton of em youll run out of juice quickly..

[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
Yep, that's an awesome suggestion. That's already one of the external solutions I have planned. We've got a number of 18650-powered power banks that will hold out in a pinch. Choosing a battery cell for the phones is still a task I'm interested in doing intelligently though.

So.... with that said, I've decided to undertake a "Sensation Battery Comparison Research Project" (SBCRP) hehehe :) It occurred to me that it would be nice to take the guesswork out of battery comparisons. "Got 7 hours with moderate usage" can be a tough qualitative statement to compare, especially when everyone's idea of light and heavy usage is different. It occurred to me that I actually have a capacity metering device designed for measuring cell discharge. I had never used it, because in its stock configuration it only works for 2S or greater lithium ion packs. The device requires an external power supply in order to be able to work with single lithium ion cells. So last night I grabbed the soldering iron, and finally added one. Now I'm good to go with testing single lithium ion cells

Long story short, it's essentially a recording voltage and amperage meter, that discharges a cell and keeps track of the Ah in the process. The load (pictured on the right) is a chasis-mount 10 Ohm resistor soldered to the output leads of the capacity metering device. That results in a relatively slow discharge of around 300 to 400mA. The resistor (test load) is submerged in water for cooling purposes (it gets a little warm to the touch if just left out in open air).

Photo of setup: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1178644&stc=1&d=1341500289

TEST DATA:

I ran the first test last night. I'll keep chugging through the cells I have and adding them here. Or if people think this is useful data, I can create its own thread.

EDIT: Created its own thread:

[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
To be honest its just not legit that a 2.50$ battery would have 1800mah i mean the stock ones cost more its just obvious troll there.

What you could do : its a little bit expansive but it worth it get an anker battery and 2 power banks along whit your gold battery's if you do light usage you should get trough 2 weeks no problem perhaps ..

Sent From My Sexy Sensation Running Aokp.
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
I know. And we really shouldn't fault the cheapo batteries, it's not their fault ;) These are just Lipo cells, and they cost what they cost. If you take a look at the energy density (and cost) of lipo cells used in hobby fields, then you'll quickly realize that $2.50 for a 1000mAh cell, of the size used in these packs, is actually a pretty remarkable value (even more remarkable when you consider the fact that these packs also have some circuitry in them).

I like your suggestion, and it echos much of what the plan was. But I'm still in the position of wanting to order some more cells. They're small and light and I'd still like to have 10 or so of them on hand to get us through 4 or 5 days without having to turn to the power bank.

Do you think other people would be interested in the kind of real-world discharge measurements I was doing above? Because if so, I'll put them in a new on-topic thread, and keep uploading photos/data after each battery I test. If not, I'll just keep the data here on paper.

Circling back to my original question, does anyone have a sense as to which cells might not be complete garbage? To make it simpler, I put together a collage of each (different) cell that came in under $10 shipped on eBay. I omitted a couple options that had watermarks on their photos (didn't want to give any sellers any undue publicity). But these seem like basically the selection of cells that are $3 to $10 shipped.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Honestly people wouldn't mind such an informative thread but I can assure you unless your not a battery fanatics it won't pick peoples interest I'm not trying to be mean here :D

But as I said you've got plenty of good information up there so why not make thread and perhaps it generates some more "thanks" ;)
