Google Now gave me a rather interesting message: For better location, please enable Wifi. This works even when not connected to a network.

How can the phone figure out my location by using the Wifi antenna without connecting to any networks?

Here's how I originally thought it worked: The phone sees what cell towers are available, then uses data or Wifi to look them up in a database and determines a likely location. But now the app is telling me it really just wants the wifi antenna on. Why?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ88:
Because its like when you turn on your Bluetooth it scans near by devices..you connect with them or not its not the question but you can know that how many devices are in your range got it..

Same like when you turn on wifi it searches near by connection you connect or not Google find out your near by wifi networks.. By using that nearby wifi network already registered they find you approximately locations..

we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Oh. Then Google records the location of Wifi networks, so visible networks can be used for location lookups?

Actually, that makes sense. I remember a couple years ago they got in trouble for wardriving and said it was unintentional. It could have been related to an effort to record the location of all visible networks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longstreet:
That makes sense, but I'm running JellyTime on an Inspire, and it doesn't have the biggest battery. I don't want to leave wifi on all the time. Would it make sense to use Tasker to turn wifi on for a few minutes every hour, or would Google Now even be able to gather enough location info in such a short time?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Why not test it without Wifi? Leave google maps open with Wifi/GPS disabled while you're traveling. If that looks reasonably accurate, just leave them off.

As for timing, the phone can tell your location pretty quickly, but I don't know how Google Now is written. It would probably need to have specific logic that says "check location whenever wifi gets enabled". I'm not sure whether it does.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longstreet:
That's what I've been doing. It works so far, I was just wondering if there was a better way.

It just doesn't seem to do much beyond weather and sports. Maybe I haven't used it long enough. Or maybe my life is so freaking boring it doesn't have a lot to work with!:laugh:

I'm wondering. There's a lot of info out there on what it does and how it does it. But I'd be interested in the nuts and bolts, finding out exactly what it's doing and when and how.

It is kinda neat. But kinda unsettling too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dextroz:
Hi Guys,

I am wondering if there is a way to disable the animation just before the camera gets activated to capture a face unlock?

I can't understand why google would add a delay (or perception of lag) of nearly 2 seconds to the unlock process by including that stupid growing 'ball' as part of face unlock.

ICS had it where the camer would turn on 'instantly' when you hit the power button to capture the face.

Thanks,

Hi all, there's something bothering me for long.

I have a tablet with internal SD (nand one) and an external SD.

Now I can read contents in internal SD but can't write it. I checked up with root explorer, finding the file sysytem is "read only". After toggling it to R/W, the storage can be written by root explorer but still can't by other apps.

Can anyone help me plz? A lot of thanks!

================ EDIT ================

p.s. When connected to PC as massive storage device, it can be read and written.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ88:
Because its internal memory of tablet like root memory of android phone..

So you can write it with root explorer only...

we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdljl2005:
thanks but sorry, nah, I'm pretty sure the internal sd is not the root memory. when I download a file, it is meant to be saved in "Download" folder of the internal SD.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You are correct. What are the permissions of the files/folders on there?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdljl2005:
The whole SDCARD folder is r/o...

I tried in terminal to mount it as r/w, but writing still fails.

then I tried connecting it to PC and formatting it FAT32... and the formatting failed!

Now i've got a tab without internal SD... guess I have to flash the system again...

Hope there's nothing wrong with the hardware.

Could you please gimme some advice? thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Try a clean install of your ROM. If the problem still exists, try a different ROM. That should determine if its as software/hardware problem.

I've heard of similar things happening and have run into some strange CPU issues, such as CPU1 going offline and staying offline.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryo Misaki:
Links to all Roms can be found in the Infuse Super Everything Thread.

What is considered "good" varies depending on the person.

Though the best 'stability' would probably come in a Gingerbread rom, since they don't have any features missing.

However, if you don't mind a few (and I consider trivial), issues such as choppy HD video recording, I would definitely recommend a JellyBean rom such as CM10 or, my favorite, Paranoid Android.

They both are stable, smooth, and fast running Roms, and tend to have much better battery life!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longstreet:
Just flashed randomblame's excellent JELLYTIME ROM on my Inspire. It's working great, but like so many others I've been bitten by the paid app bug in the Play Store encryption process. I'm looking for a work-around, but there doesn't seem to be much out there, or I'm missing it.

As far as widgets go, HD Widgets responded well to the "back up, delete and restore" treatment. But neither of my preferred keyboards (SwiftKey or Thumb Keyboard) will persist after a reboot. I tried the process mentioned above, but keyboard still reverts to stock. I'm using a free version of another keyboard app, and it does persist, but I'd really like to find a better solution.

3 questions:

1. Is there a workaround to get these keyboard apps to persist? I've found nothing, and I'd rather not go through the whole installation process every time I reboot.

2. If not, is there a way to use Tasker to install after reboot? I'm not really knowledgable about Tasker, and this seems to be beyond it's capabilities, but I'm not sure.

3. I've read that Google disabled encryption in the JB Play Store. What does that mean exactly? That apps purchased from JB Play aren't encrypted? If that's the case then they should persist correct? But I have, I think, the JB Play Store, and when I installed SwiftKey from Play, it still doesn't persist. Maybe I don't actually have JB Play. Or maybe Play remembers that my phone was originally Gingerbread and it won't let me install JB apps. I don't know.

Any suggestions?

P.S. Just checked. Along with JELLYTIME I flashed JB gapps zip found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1796675

Looks like the right one to me. Hmm...

Another P.S. When I search Play Store for Google Wallet on my laptop, it tells me it's not compatible with my phone. So I'm thinking Play doesn't realize I'm running JB. Is there a way to fix this?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Dumb question, but, is phone #1 even rooted? It doesn't sound like it is. Reason I ask is because the bootloader shows that it's locked, which means you won't be able to load a PC36IMG (or anything else) until the bootloader is unlocked. Since you can't load a recovery, you won't be able to flash the su binary to root the phone. My other thought is that somebody tried to un-root phone #1 and botched the job, which is why you're where you are at now.
