[Nexus 7 General] uberNoobZA:
I really liked the idea of using the Nexus 7 as a Satnav in the car, as the screen makes everything much easier to read than on my Galaxy Nexus. I know that you are able to use Google Navigation on the Nexus 7 if you tether to a 3G device (or MiFi) or as long as you setup your trip before leaving while you have WiFi. It just seemed a little limiting though (but yes, I did only pay £199 for the deice so i am not complaining).

I decided to purchase Co-Pilot from Play Store (I tried a bunch, and I just liked the way Co-Pilot looks / feels / works - to me it seems the closest to my trusty Garmin Satnav (which I recenly sold) ). I have used it quite a bit on my Galaxy Nexus and it works great, so I ran it on my Nexus 7 and it works just as great and looks amazing with the 7 inch screen.

What I like -

- Volume of the voice prompts is fine (much louder than Galaxy Nexus)

- Navigation algorithms seem to be on par with Garmin / Google

- Traffic rerouting is pretty good

- Alternative routes and detours are possible

- Rerouting (when I take a wrong turn or think I know better than the Satnav) is quick

- Maps are up to date and graphics are clear

- auto rotates very nicely

What I don't like -

- Nothing so far :D

I decided against getting a dash / windscreen mount for the Nexus 7, as I found by luck that the Nexus 7, in its case, fits perfectly on the center console in my car, at exactly the right angle for me to not get glare / reflection. The only issue with this location is it is right under the cup holder in the car, so if I have a REALLY cold drink, or leaky coffee cup in there, it could drip condensation onto the Nexus 7.

I've included some shots of the Nexus 7 doing it's navigation thing in the car this morning.

[Nexus 7 General] GrendelJapan:
Interesting.

So from your screenshots, I assume this is without an active data connection (WiFi via tether or hotspot)? And the navigation is responsive using the GPS alone?

Doesn't Google Maps allow you cache map regions locally? Are the benefits over that the convenience of not having to or not being limited by it?
[Nexus 7 General] Compusmurf:
should work fine... Other than the fact if you put too much trust in CoPilot, you'll end up in Egypt but you were wanting to go to London.

If you go read their forums, you'll see folks complaining every day about really odd routing, old maps, etc.
[Nexus 7 General] uberNoobZA:
Correct. Co-pilot does not need an internet connection, as all mapes are stored locally on device and navigation is calculated on device. If you use the Traffic Updates option in Co-pilot, then you need an active data connection to get traffic updates.

Google maps lets you download some maps to the device, but those can only be used in Google Maps and are not used by Google Navigation. Apparently, Google Navigation downloads all the stuff it needs when you setup the trip, and only needs data connection if you go off course, or need to reroute.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delimiyimben:
I have the same 0000 problem.

My device is international i9300. I corrupted i'ts imei and serial number 1 day after purchase. Today I take my device to a 3rd. party technician and he solve the imei problem but serial 000000 problem remains.

I wiped data and cache after I take it back. And I did a factory reset via android menu. But still the same 0000 serial.

I backed up my efs folder to several locations and make a backup with ktool too. So what is the next step?

Should I flash the latest samsung firmware via odin amd make a full wipe after that?

Or just flash some cm10 rom.

Sorry for bad english and thanx in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert'sGalaxy:
Did you fix it?

Hi, don't worry about bad English mine isn't so good either. Were you able to get your serial number back? If so what did you do? I have the same problem it was gone after I flashed a new rom I had lost the network and the IMEI but thanks to this site and DocHoliday77 the phone is back in order except the serial number but it looks to me that it does not have an effect on the performance. so just may let it go before I do something dumb again. If you did get it back let me know how.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dSayonarab:
I recently got mine replaced due to the yellow tint issue, and I'm noticing that the replacement is subtly different to the first-wave handset I had. Things I have noticed (I just unboxed):

Vibration is noticeably rougher, noisier. First handset had smoother haptic feedback (might be because the motor hasn't worn in yet).

QC is sloppy for a flagship - handset has a gap between the top of the phone and the top of the rear cover. Minor flaw, and not one I'm going to hassle the store with (considering mine had been Flashtool'd and had the liquid indicators activated, don't want to try my luck) but it's there.

Capacitive keys more sensitive. Hardware tweaked at the factory?

Anecdotal reports that recent phones have no fast charge circuitry

Grid antenna in transparent strip is different. This one has what looks like several separated strips of grids with slight gaps instead of one single unit.

Cutting costs on the Xperia S/SL manufacturing line?

The way I see it - the Xperia S and Xperia SL are what the Arc is to the Arc S. A processor bump, more color schemes, and a price drop - and voila, your flagship is once again relevant in the eyes of the consumer until your next flagships arrive on the scene.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kartobot:
I got mine repaired and the vibration motor sounds different as well. It was the microphone that got repaired though.

I don't like the new sound,it almost sounds broken.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Why So Serious?:
The vibration on my XS is louder and far less subtle to that on my girlfriends... I've got a newer model than hers so I can corroborate that.

My antenna grid also has the gaps in it, but I don't have any issues with signal (compared to my girlfriend) so I don't think that's a build quality issue... perhaps even an improvement over initial batches.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dSayonarab:
Indeed, I haven't noticed any signal strength issues at all. I'm guessing that Sony just found a better (for whatever reason) way to make the thing (transparent antenna, how does it work... never mind how does it connect the microphone to the rest of the handset, I'm not even going to question that one)

I really don't like the new vibration though, it really is quite grating to hear the SXS make that noise after the quiet purr of the original one. Reminds me of the thing in the Huawei Ideos X5 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
Does the GNex have a problem with wifi G channel 12?

I changed my router from channel 1 to 12 (due to many neighbors on 1) and my GNex wouldn't connect, saying router not found. Neither rebooting nor re-entering the password helped. When I changed to channel 11, it connected. My other devices had no problem with 12, so it's not a router problem.

I'm on unrooted stock JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] talz13:
What country do you live in? I believe in the US, you can only use channels 1 - 11. However, if your neighbor on channel 1 is the only other AP around, you can move to channel 6 without issue, as that is also completely outside of the frequency range of channel 1.

The 3 non-overlapping channels in 2.4ghz wifi are channels 1, 6, and 11.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
I'm in the US in a very wifi dense area with about 20 APs nearby. I use a software scanner called inSSIDer, which showed the higher channels as less crowded.

My router and other wifi devices, including some computers and Apple devices, work fine on 12. Only the GNex has a problem with 12. It's odd they work on 12, since you're right, 12 shouldn't work in North America.

In any event, I'll stick to 1, 6 and 11.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akalias1981:
Hi,

I recall this being a problem on android years ago, and it was fixed, but appears to be back. If I am browsing apps in the Play Store, each time I back out of an app screen to the app list, the list repositions itself at the top, rather than reflecting the position I was at before I clicked into a specific app screen. When working through a large list this is a real frustration.

I haven't seen anyone else complaining of this which makes me wonder if somehow it is just me. I have tried clearing data, and uninstalling updates to no avail, and this issue has persisted across two factory resets.

I am running the stock factory ROM with the Trinity 7 kernel.
