[Xoom Android Development] Asphyx:
I have had no such issue so my suggestion to you is to try and calibrate your compass via the compass app (plenty available in the store) and see if that solves your problem.

Having a regular compass to check the calibration helps make sure your at least in the ballpark.

You may also be able to do this is some other GPS utility apps as well.
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
Keep in mind that the GPS (which gives you location) and the Compass (which shows direction) are completely separate entities and it's likely your Compass, as was suggested, needs a recal.
[Xoom Android Development] Asphyx:
I'm not sure (don't believe this to be true for GMaps) but some nav software may ignore the Compass entirely and use your movement relative to GPS to determine which direction to display the map.

It used to happen that way with my old Garmin software (WinMo) where if you went in reverse it would flip the map on you! LOL

But I think the calibration is most likely the problem here.
[Xoom Android Development] grncherry:
Unfortunately, after the re calibration attempts, and compass software attempts also, there was no change. Apparently I'll just have to live with it.
[Xoom Android Development] Asphyx:
When you were done with the calibration did the compass point (in the software you calibrated with) in the correct direction?

If so then I would say there is more likely an issue with your Nav Software and should check to see if it has it's own compass calibration routines.
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
Once you get moving, sure, as that's actually more accurate (and not subject to variations due to magnetic anomalies).

I've never noticed the OP's condition, however- I'll have to look out for it. (I wonder if he's in the Southern Hemisphere?)
[Xoom Android Development] Asphyx:
It still wouldn't explain his flipped map though even if it did use GPS for direction...

Southern Hemisphere is interesting though but still calibration should solve that no?

I don't think they released seperate units for those below the equator.

Perhaps a flip switch for Compas is in order or maybe what he really needs to do is do a factory reset and clear out the memory.
[Xoom Android Development] grncherry:
Nope, I'm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I just turned on my screen and left the Xoom on the table and the map slowly continued to rotate around my position, it never stopped. Weird!!
[Xoom Android Development] TheRandom1:
Not wearing your Iron Man Halloween costume already by chance, are you?
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
Oh, I know what's up now!

Your Xoom is in "Follow Ben Roethlisberger Around Mode"! It points in whichever direction he's facing- it's a sort of "Crowd-Sourcing" thing we've put in that automatically turns on so we can keep an eye on him (it was added as a special request from the Raider Nation! :D )

But seriously, does this happen often outside and away from your place, as well?
[Xoom Android Development] grncherry:
Made certain I took that costume off..lol. I went so far as to go out into the middle of the yard and tried, neighbor thinks I'm nuts, but whatever. There are no high tension power lines or anything of that nature nearby.

Very cute,lol. Yup, happens all the time. It used to work flawlessly. Just started after nightly 144 I think it was.

One of my favorite parts of the country, by the way, was stationed at Travis AFB for a few.
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
Uh oh ... I think I know what might be up (there was a change to the GPS, but for devices other than ours). Let me ping BRD on this- but I could be wrong.
[Xoom Android Development] bigdave240:
Mine gets out of whack if it is laying flat using gmaps too but if you pick it up and hold it in landscape it corrects it. Laying flat it moves around on its own and doesnt point the right way.
[Xoom Android Development] Asphyx:
Not that weird if you live in the Bermuda Triangle or on a Merry Go Round...Pittsburg? Yep Weird!

Is this a 148 thing? I'm on 147 still and I just used Co-Pilot to drive to matamoras without any compass issues at all.

And I just checked out GMaps and it was fine as well.

I'm Having The Same Issue In Google Skymap As We'll. It Doesn't Point In The Correct Direction.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

So I Just Downloaded 9 Different Compass Apps And Calibrated Them. They All Show The Same"Drift". The Needle Starts Out Pointing North And Then Drifts Around And Won't Hold. This Was Not Happening A Couple Months Ago. I Don't Know When It Started.
[Xoom Android Development] Asphyx:
Hey could be worse I could have made it Jewish and spelled it BERG.

It has to be something between 147 and 148 because I don't have an issue on 147.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
That commit wasn't merged until last night. So it's just barely going out in today's nightly. I've seen similar phenomenon on Samsung gnex series. Turns out it's in the gps driver in the kernel. I'll shoot you the commit fix. But it's most peculiar this would just show up now.
[Xoom Android Development] bigdave240:
I had the drifting gps but only when the tablet was laying flat. Just flashed 149 and it seems to be fixed and point in the correct direction with out drifting around
[Xoom Android Development] grncherry:
Yaaaay, hooray, thank you, thank you, kcrudup, bigrushdog, team eos and all. I am now pointing in the right direction again, the gps is working again. Thanks again. I can sleep peacefully now.
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
Hi DEVs,

Is there a possibility of bringing back the "Privacy Settings mod" to this awesome OS and ROM? That was an great addition and very beneficial for a lot of us.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Sup player. The Android log system changed for the better in jb. In ics, any app could read the system log. So that lead to the need to prevent apps from writing to the log at all since any mal ware or overly intrusive app could easily scrape the log for data. In jb android changes permissions so that any app can only read its own entries. Unless that app is root of course. So for the most part the security concern that spawned that feature is no longer present.

Edit: I stand corrected. Solarnz just merged it last night. Very convenient for apps that flood the log as well.
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
All good BigDog,

Awesome, thanks for the quick response. Good looking out Sol.

I like the feature.
[Xoom Android Development] sovereign_313:
I realize that this is not quite the topic for this thread, but the fact is that I have a lot of trust in this community. I'm about to get a phone (I don't have one, I've been using my Xoom with grooveIP, but I'm changing careers and really won't need my tablet at the new place). I've done quite a bit of research, and it's hard for me to make a good decision about which one will fit my hackerish and flash-at-will personality. I like the Galaxy S3, but frankly, can't justify it based on their totalitarian bootloader chains (I'm with VZW, I realize a GSM phone wouldn't have that problem). So just curious, since I'll be able to afford it, any phone suggestions from the folks who likely feel about their Xoom the way I do?
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
If I had to get a vzw phone right now without any doubt it'd be a razr hd dev phone. Fully unlockable and really nice. Doesn't offer enough to compel me to ditch my Bionic but if I was in the market for a phone, no question I'd get that one.
[Xoom Android Development] Moricon:
Even with the locked bootloader (Which I belive has been cracked) I would go with the S3. It's an amazing phone. Note I am on the Sprint version so I have only been half watching the Verizon stuff.
[Xoom Android Development] apollyon0810:
I fall in love with my GNex all over again every time I use it. Feels soooo fast compared to my Xoom... fwiw: I'm running TeamEOS on it too!

edit: Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE
[Xoom Android Development] TheRandom1:
Bootloader was cracked months ago. It seems like a bit of a pain to get around, but it's possible. I'd go that route if I didn't just get a Galaxy Nexus for free. (thank you LG Revolution for being a POS and allowing me to complain my way into another phone)
[Xoom Android Development] Droidem:
Is it worth it to try to find a gnex on Verizon instead of getting an s3? I need to update my ancient DROID x.

[Xoom Android Development] TheRandom1:
It'll be cheaper, but it's older technology. If you do go with a GNex, don't use an aftermarket charger, they don't seem to like them at all.
[Xoom Android Development] kevdliu:
I would get a galaxy nexus. I finally got sick and tired of broken promises of updates and half-functional aosp ports on my old phones and switched to the nexus. Never going back
[Xoom Android Development] sovereign_313:
That's fully unlockable and on vzw?
[Xoom Android Development] jlvlawrence:
Yep!
[Xoom Android Development] runhopskipjump:
Loving the rom on both my VZW Xoom and VZW Galaxy Nexus.

Requests :

1. Can you please enable Wifi Direct on the Xoom? Now that I have a GNex, I would like to transfer files I downloaded to my Xoom to watch on a bigger screen and save space.

2. Can you guys implement a way to set the dns that the devices uses (Both GNex and Xoom)? I currently use SetDNS pro but it tends to request superuser permissions often and can't use the method of modifying the resolv.conf file due to the EOS roms not having one.

3.Can you also enable a "low profile mode" for the Navigation bar on the Xoom if possible?

Question:

1. How do I make tethering via Wifi more reliable? Connections seem to drop ever now and then between my GNex running EOS JB and Xoom also running EOS JB. I am using the native tethering option and have full 4G signal. Could it be the Xoom's Wifi acting funny? Could it be high data usage(I have unlimited data) ? Overheating? I tried with and without the Franco Kernel on My GNex and also via bluetooth tether. The only reliable seems to be to tethering via usb using my laptop.

2.YouTube videos also pause and stop buffering frequently. I usually have to switch back and forth from HD to quality to watch a whole video. To clarify, watch part of the video in HD then part in low quality and possibly back to HD near the end. Is there anything that can be done? I am usually tethering my phone but it happens on my GNex as well.

GNex & Xoom 4G + EOS Jellybean nightlies = Hot Damn!
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:

So I have to ask our Devs. Is the Nexus 10 going to be the one to knock out our beloved Xoom?
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
What's the failure mode?

I've tethered my Roku to my Xoom for hours at a time without issues. It could also be the GNex' fault, too.

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

Not without WAN it won't, so because of that and no removable storage, I'll be sticking with the Xoom for quite some time (unfortunately ... I'd like something newer and more than a little tired of the work needed to squeeze out that last little bit of performance).

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

Try pausing it a few seconds in, then letting it buffer up a few seconds.

Seems to me that YouTube's needing to buffer on HD streams has occurred more rarely in the last day or so, but that could just be a temporary effect.
[Xoom Android Development] sovereign_313:
The real question... Is why is the Nexus 10 dual core, while the 7 is quad??? Another thing... Why did the 7 get WAN, and not the 10....What the Crap Google....
[Xoom Android Development] Moricon:
Okay I am going to sound so Noob but for the life of me can't remember what Wan is and why it matters.
[Xoom Android Development] kevdliu:
WAN is cell mobile data. 3g/4g
[Xoom Android Development] Moricon:
Ah. It's been one of those nights.... Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] tomcrown1:
Price is the reason for nexus 10 dual core. If it had the quad core then the price would be $100.00 more or the same as iPad 4.

No cell data maybe due to the fact that google could not get a cellular signed up or wan tablets are poor sellers.
[Xoom Android Development] khanh1289:
actually, the N10 dual core is superior to the N7 quad core
[Xoom Android Development] REHolt218:
I have been experiencing drop-out problems with 4g since updateing to 150. Since Verizon is so well known for their reliability, I'm sure it can't be them:silly: So I was wonderingbif anyone else is seeing the same problem?

I thought it was supposed to be chrome, but im using a phone from Google IO stock unrooted with 4.1 and the regular browser is still installed. is this only for the nexus 7?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
They aren't going to be changing the default browser. Future devices will come with Chrome as the default, but they aren't changing it for the Galaxy Nexus, they are leaving it to us to use Chrome if we want. I'm glad, I'll probably be sticking with the standard browser for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Updating to 4.1 doesn't remove your stock Browser. Could you imagine if Google just pushed an OTA that removed the Browser?

The Nexus 7 could come with just Chrome because it didn't ship with a Browser and get updated later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
With u on that. ^_^

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donniestarko:
Thank you. Just watched the unboxing of a nexus 7 and he said that in jelly bean chrome replaced the stock browser. It wasn't even installed. So I assumed it would be the same for gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
The GNex will still have the 'Browser' by default and will not come with Chrome stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kynolin:
Now hopefully we can all agree that Chrome on Android blows away the default browser -- without Flash. It'd kind of be nice if they pushed away from Flash unless you need to use it - like having Chrome be default from now on. (Sorry Adobe, I love you, but even the good kids don't always make it very far.)

For those of us who want to always use Chrome yet worry about Flash. Try Flashify (on the Play Store). You can now set Chrome to be your default browser, yet if something needs Flash, you can "share" the page, which will allow you to choose Flashify. Upon choosing Flashify, the exact page you were on will open up in the "Default Browser" with Flash support.

Hope this helps anyone. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Scrolling feels very laggy and heavy on Chrome compared to the stock Browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The stock browser destroys chrome in most ways, so I hope they improve chrome to match stock before making it the default browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samagon:
I was shocked Google took chrome out of beta, and even more so when I heard that it was going to be the stock browser. I had just gone through crashes, lagging, just really not so good, and I uninstalled.

After all that, I still said why not, reinstalled when jb released, and I really think they did a great job with it. If you haven't tried it since it left beta, it's a different browser.

I want full screen on to be the default setting. But unfortunately it always changes back to off after some time.

[HTC EVO 3D] Zero_Shadow:
Hello All,

If this has been covered before I apologize I havent been able to find the solution to my problem atm.

What I would like to do is ultimately downgrade my phone to Hboot 1.4 so that I can install a Custom Rom for the first time. However according to my research to do that you will need to wipe your phone in essence losing all my data so I would like to back it up first before I try that which I havent been able to figure out how to do that yet.

My phone build is Hboot 1.5 2.17.651.5

Based on what I have read many guide suggest that you will have to use the HTCdev Unlock to actually be able to root the phone but if my understand of what I am reading is correct you have to wipe the phone again which doesnt help me.

Ive tried so many different methods to be able to do temp-root but none of them seem to work for me so I would like a suggestion or some advice on what I can try so I can backup my phone before I try the downgrade.

Thanks guys
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
AFAIK, there is no way since both methods (downgrade and HTC unlock) cause you to wipe. I hope someone has a good answer (and I wish I had known it before I lost all my stuff downgrading :D).
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
What all are you trying to backup? Your apps you can reinstall, your phone number's can be exported to your sd without root via your people app, videos and pics are stored on your sd so you can just insert your sd into your laptop/pc and back it up. Your texts are a different story, but I'm sure you will receive more texts.

I'm mostly trying to back up app data settings game saves etc. Sorry I didn't mention that, I'm also just trying to see how that works since I'm still learning about all of this. If that is something I shouldn't really worry about should I just go ahead with the downgrade?

Use Tacoroot to gain temp root on 2.17. This is HIGHLY unstable, do not touch the notification/status bar at all when it boots. just get in, get your backups, and get out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zero_Shadow:
Hey Unknown thanks for the reply im a fan of your work I have actually tried that method or one similar (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441100) and have been unsuccessful so far (I also made a post in that thread). I'm really close to giving up and just doing the downgrade as I can not figure out how to make this work. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Highly unstable is an understatement :D. When I followed your downgrade process, my phone started a constant bootloop after using tacoroot. Luckily, it did not have to boot, but I still lost my data (which ended up being no big deal).

EDIT: Sounds critical of Unknownforce, but did not mean to. He is the reason I have root and will forever be in my signature.
