[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Crap there is a fix that is floating around, in fact it was a fix and a revert back to normal if the fix didn't work, and the fix didn't work for anyone but the revert back to stock was fixing everyone's GPS (including mine). I searched the forum before posting this but I didn't find it, but I have the files on my laptop.... trouble is I don't know how to post them here?

Is everyone confirming that there gps is not locking on to any sattelites via gps test from the play store?

I'll try and figure out how to get those files to you guys in a minute.... hang tight.

^this is the gps fix that doesn't work but you gotta flash it to get the revert to work. So flash this one first.

http://db.tt/M0u538wH

Ok this is the revert back to stock, its a flashable zip so give it a try and let me know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] coretech:
I found a couple of fixes that didn't work for me (updating the gps.config file and flashing the GB modem) but might for others. I don't remember where I found the config file but I think if you search for gps.config you should see it in the Q&A somewhere.

I also found that when I flashed the CM10 Phandroid rom the newest with working video record my gps is back to working again. So I'm thinking there has to be some thing in the newer kernel that is blocking an apps ability to turn on the gps and if you manually turn off/on it won't stay active.

I think I'm going to stick with the jelly bean for now until I find a reason to switch to either a GB rom or something like one of appdroid's leaked kernel LF5 roms. (IMO - appdroid's roms seemed to play really nice with my Note)

*** Updated - Sorry LittleRedDot I totally missed your uploaded links. If I flash back to BlackStar I will give your flashable zip a whirl... Thanks!

I contacted ATT they said it is Samsung GPS software and hardware, so call Samsung, the more the better.

Mine is screwed up too. The only thing that has changed since it lasted worked 2 days ago was the Maps update from Play Store.

Try my fix lads
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ktracho316:
Does your fix work even if I have a TMobile radio flashed. All this time I thought the problem was from Me flashing the tmo radio..? I guess not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Sorry I should've said it wasn't my fix. And yes I was told it worked on tmob radio as well

AT&T is sending me a replacement Note with GB loaded on it. When it arrives, all I have to do is put my crap broke back GPS one in a box and send it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ktracho316:
It didnt work for me. I wonder wats the issue. Im going to try flashing cm10 tonight. See if that fixes the issue as some else stated earlier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
What didn't work for you? Have you tried downloading GPS Test from the market and seeing if you're locking on to any sattelites.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
Well after several weeks of GPS unstability, I pestered ATT today, and they agreed to send me a replacement Note. Of course I have to send the defective one back.

I tried to force it to go to GB, once it was back on GB, the GPS was still flakey.

I am hoping the replacement will work like GB did before. The rep said she thought JB was available, and then recanted the statement.

LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ktracho316:
Wow that sucks... Best of luck hopefully once you flash a new rom you wont have the same problem. Im waiting for my phone to charge hopefully i can get GPS to work with JB ill post once im done.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

The GPS fix that you posted and the revert. And I just did and im getting from 1 to 3. I cleared AGPS and also updated it. From the instructions i get, it works it set GPS location set. However when i go to google maps app its still off not where im actually at. Also when doing navigation it never locks, it says searching GPS signal...this is frustrating

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

Wow just tried something and it seemed to work i got right where im at also got a lock on navigation in gmaps and started working. Having GPS test open and pressing home instead of back button left it on in the background basically. I got it to work...wierd huh? And if i dont do this (leaving GPS test in the background and closing it by pushing back button to exit it) it wont work and GPS is way off...any idea. Also if you guys are having GPS issue. Try this and see if it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Just a random thought, what kind of data are you using whilst using google maps? 4G or wifi... or less?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ktracho316:
Im using 4g and have even tried only on edge. Havent tried wifi.

Edit: Well I was too tired to flash JB last night. But I did it this morning and man oh man is this ROM sexy!!! It seems to work perfectly (I don't use Netflix) and to top it off with a cherry jellybean it FIXED MY GPS problem. It gets a lock within 10sec without the GPS test app!! Loving my Note again!!
[General Questions and Answers] qoncept:
Part of my distaste is because I miss the dedicated search button on newer phones (and long press for voice search), but in any case I just don't see the point of Google Now.

1) It's awful at answering questions. I've asked questions in plain english maybe a couple dozen times and almost every time the result has been a simple web search. Not a "card" with an answer on it, which, as far as I can gather, is the point. The only times I've gotten the card were for questions I was only asking to see what it CAN do, since it CAN'T do anything that seems to be useful.

2) The simple answers it can provide are much easier to find in a dedicated app. If I want to know the weather, I look at a widget or open a weather app. If I want to know what's on my agenda, I look at a widget or open the calendar app. I'm not going to open Google Now and see if it happens to have a card for the specific information I want. And the general things it does are all important enough that I have widgets for them that I can see at a glance without opening Google Now.

The only thing it's been able to "do" other than this is simple definitions of words, which I suppose is a little easier than doing a web search, but kind of "meh."

The swiping up from home button thing doesn't seem like it should be THE way to see what Google Now wants to tell you. The passive nature means none of it is immediately pertinent information, yet you have to take action to see it. A widget would make a LOT more sense. As it is, I don't ever find myself thinking "I wonder if there's any random, currently unimportant information I'd like to see." And I'm very rarely in a situation where I don't feel completely ridiculous talking to my phone.

Who uses this thing? Why?

[General Questions and Answers] Gekonix:
Voice search is a good marketing thingy. It doesnt help me to search things in google the way i do, for example some problems during application developent.
[General Questions and Answers] SacTappingUni:
You may not be using it right. Though, keep in mind that it's targeted towards busy people as a means of efficient and accessible information. I believe that the main purpose of google now is to integrate into your agenda to give you relevant information

(ie. checking your destination, route, and traffic, and calculating that you need to leave in xx minutes to arrive at your destination on time)

I don't really see google now as a siri copy, as it doesn't give mediocre and/or witty answers.

You'll probably still use google search a lot. Google now is meant more as a location-based assistant than a siri clone.
[General Questions and Answers] veeman:
It does cards for things like locations, famous people, weather, alarms, definitions, emails, etc.
[General Questions and Answers] Rara666:
Yeah, I'm not sure I like siri or Google now. Its a cool concept but sometimes I feel like I have to yell at the phone so it understands me ha
[General Questions and Answers] Khayzo:
IMHO Google Now (and Siri) would be much more useful if voice recognition was improved and answer process snappier.

Indeed, it could be much faster to talk to your phone than navigating through your apps. Besides, Google Now is way smarter than Siri as it tries to guess what information you need before you ask for it. Analysing external information and making it useful should be fully exploited.

Voice assistant is a road on which I think we should make further progress. Google is doing a great job as we can see with the off-line voice recognition.

However I agree with you that Google Now can be useless if the user only uses it to get information you can get by looking at your widgets.. Maybe if it has a deeper integration on the phone, it would be better.
[General Questions and Answers] with33:
Even if they worked perfectly o would not use them they are a novalty lol fun to show off but just not useful in the real world.
[General Questions and Answers] divibyzero:
We have to face evolution of search engines, if we like it or not. Searching in web can't stay the way it is forever. We are about to implement AI to search engines, so that computer understands what we are looking for and crawls through web, while we would be working. Potentially new users wouldn't need to "learn" to google in order to find information efficiently.
[General Questions and Answers] Zetthy:
To be perfectly honest I fail to grasp the whole talk-control allure. I mean seriously, typing is less tiresome, cleaner, quieter and frankly, more private. The one time I actually tested voice control, I felt like a douche. -and- I was alone in my room. Imagine doing it on the middle of the street.

Dedicated widgets, as you said, are the best way to go for effectiveness. Which gets me wondering, how worried should we be that Google sees voice control as "the future"?
[General Questions and Answers] SacTappingUni:
Google isn't like Microsoft, who gives consumers reactionary, low-par software and features. If voice control turns out to not be "the future", then Google will realize it and move away from it.

Seriously, when was the last time that you looked at a Google product and thought to yourself, "man this sucks"? At least, that never happened to me. I'm actually looking into modifying my China N12 tablet to have Google Now in ICS.
[General Questions and Answers] qoncept:
Like I said, most of the time I feel like an idiot talking to the phone. The only time I regularly use it is "navigate to ..." when I'm in the car. One button press (and I know exactly where that button is) and I have directions to where I'm going. Until ICS.

Yeah, Google has definitely shown they are totally willing to dump something if it turns out not to be the next thing. Google Wave anyone? I bet Larry Page is a pretty decent poker player. One of the biggest problems people have is not folding because they have so much invested, even when they can't win.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] adroid!:
Hey everyone . I am sure some people have noticed that most game loft games force closes on ICS ROMS. Is there any solution for this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] VanillaCracker:
Ive read this once before like months back, and people just said it's gotta be a personal issue. Unfortunately I'm gonna say the same thing haha. Either clear your cash and market cash and game cache/data, and re-download/install. Or if that doesn't work, try a different rom. That's probably the best answer you're gonna get, especially if it's only for Loft games
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] adroid!:
So should I just go back to gingerbread if I want to play gamrs. What about all the new features in ics
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] VanillaCracker:
Which rom and kernel are you on? If you are on an AOSP rom then try a TouchWiz (samsung) rom. They seem to be little bit more stable, so games would more likely work there. For a TW rom, try SalamRom, it's pretty stable. For an AOSP rom, try Resurrection.

If you try most every type of rom and loft doesn't work, then yeah you should probably go back to GB if you care about the games that much. You can't dual boot between GB and ICS (because a kernel is either compatible for ICS, or GB), so if none of the ICS roms work, then you will have to choose between features or games. I don't play games so I can't say whether it's an issue with all ICS, but I doubt it, so just try different roms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Hi guys, if you remember a while back we released a little app called SwitchMe that basically adds the multiple user features that Google is working on. Back then the app was at an early stage, and we thought it would be a good idea to not expose SM to Note owners because of some issues with memory use on the device.

Now though we think weve fixed it. So please, dive in, the app is at last available to Note owners on the play store, and let me know if it works.

Be sure to MAKE A NANDROID FIRST just in case. PR after the break.

******************************************************************************************************************************

SwitchMe - share your device!

SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.

SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.

Some of the benefits of this technology:

Privacy

Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.

Kids

Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.

Gaming

Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games

Speed

Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.

Testing

Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!

Battery

Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.

Critical usage warning:

Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.

READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES

Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.

Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.

Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.

These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

Market link:

https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme

The Lite version only allows the creation of two profiles and has no security features.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] gattaga:
Tried it.. one problem..

If you remove the default launcher that came with the rom, and switch to a profile, there is no launcher..

Workaround - create a profile when you install the rom, rather than after you have set it up to your taste..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
This is not a bug - any system apps you remove will be removed in all profiles. The solution is to add your custom launcher to the system partition, or to install it via adb in your new profile.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] drewd:
I've had this case for about a week:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFVF3M/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

I'd post photos, but the pictures at Amazon pretty much show you everything that there is to see about the case. Now here's my take on it.

First of all, it's not a thin case. Not even close. When it's closed, it's just under an inch thick. Which is fine for me because that's not what I was after. The Nexus 7 slides into a full leather inner case. The back of that case is covered with Velcro "loops", the soft part of the Velcro. That attaches to a large strip of "hook" Velcro that is sewn into a book-style outer case. As you can see from the Amazon pictures, depending upon the orientation of the inner case, you can place the tablet at one of three angles for viewing.

When I first used the case, the hinge on the left side was stiff - really, really stiff. In fact, sometimes it would pop open and turn the Nexus 7 on. But after a week of use, the hinge has softened, just as I'd hoped, and the cover stays closed, held that way by two magnets. The magnets also turn the tablet on and off. Folded all the way back, the magnets don't affect the tablet at all, probably because of all those layers of leather and cloth sandwiched between the magnets and the tablet.

The quality of materials seems to be good. There weren't any loose stitches. I ordered the black case with a tan interior. Every surface is a two-layer, sewn together construction of an outer leather material against an inner, soft cloth, with the outer cover having some sort of board, like the covers of a book, for extra stiffness (as does the back of the inner cover). The white stitching is a more apparent in real life than in the pictures, which some my find a bit jarring. As far as styling goes, well, it's pretty conservative. It hasn't turned any heads near me, so if that's your thing, you might want to look elsewhere (or perhaps consider one in an exciting color other than black or white).

The three long slots that serve as stops to prop the tablet up also work quite nicely to give your fingers a little grip if you're holding the tablet like a book.

I primarily use my tablet for two things: listening to music at work and reading books at home, so this cover works very nicely for those situations. At work, the Nexus 7 sits, propped at an angle, on my desk and at home, I flip the cover all the way open and it gives me a good grip for reading. Obviously, though, the one thing that it does is obscure the sleek lines of the tablet, so if that's something that you want to show off, this isn't the cover for you. Also, it strikes me that it's not exactly a champ at heat dissipation, but that has not been a problem for me yet.

The price has gone up since I ordered mine, but now it's covered by Amazon Prime, so that may be a break for some of you. I'm quite pleased with it.

By the way, I installed the Nova Launcher, which supports home screen landscape mode. It goes well with this sort of case. OK, here's a picture.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] IAmRelex:
Thanks for the review. I decided to hold off for a little after the n7 was released to see what kind of cases would come out. Thanks to your review and a lot of looking around on Amazon this is the case I'm going to go with.
