[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Homey:
Actually, my GPS is on all the time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
For weather, try checking the settings? Mine is set to show in the morning and evening and they always show up fine. It is not that useful for me since I already have weather widgets on my home screen but oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Astrikz:
You sure your not using apple maps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] machu124:
Maybe it is a regional/country-specific thing? I'm located in the US near Boston and it works pretty well for me.

I use it often because it'll show me my commute to work when I'm home, my commute to home a few hours before I leave work, movies on Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays, places I've searched for and how long it'll take to get there (restaurants, shops, etc.), weather warnings for my area, flight information (I don't fly often but experienced this recently, very cool), restaurant recommendations, score updates for the teams I follow, and my next calendar event and how long it'll take to get there if there's an address attached. Public transit directions (subway, bus) will also show up when I'm walking around Boston.

I noticed over the last month or so that Google Now became "better" than it was before. I'm not sure if it's because I've been checking into places I eat at or visit but now it's giving me 4-6 recommendations on average. Maybe try checking into more places? I only share my checkins with close family on Latitude if you're not comfortable with doing that.

If you want to get a feel for a really in-your-face Google Now experience, I recently went on a trip to New York City, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles and my Google Now exploded. I attached some screenshots to show you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
Google Now doesn't even recognize what I'm saying, its useless for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Google Now always recognizes my voice and has relevant information for weather and traffic for me, it only took about a month to learn my travel habits. The only thing I am unhappy with GN is it doesn't know SEC scores/games/teams, Siri does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Now works for me in the UK, but only when it feels like it. Cards randomly disappear and the GPS drain, for me, is not a decent tradeoff. I do use it for routing to recently searched addresses so that all well and good, nut constantly polling for weather and other travel alerts is a no go for me. It needs IMO to be opened up to devs so BBC and sky news can be sent to it, then it would be worthwhile. Apart from that I use seperate widgets for everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djexacto:
Google now is cool, but I found it, in combination with location services to be a huge battery hog.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I am in the US and find it basically useless. However, I think part of that has a lot to do with what you want to get out if it.

The maps usually showed me the worst way to get to work or not up-to-date weather info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] senatormimi:
only use it for weather and set the alarm, its basically a lazy way to do things on your phone/tablet. it does work alot faster than the one on the iphone(siri)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I don't use Google Now, just not worth the battery drain of location always being on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickafterburner:
Google Now is OK, but I'm having the same issue with location history

Generally, I find Google Now to be fine, but when I look at location history, I see the same symptoms as you. It seems to me that at times, it thinks that it is at home while I'm out. The location history map online really shows what's happening.

I do disable WiFi when I'm not near a known hotspot that I use (Tasker, using Cell Near to enable and when WiFi connected to populate the list), and I'm wondering if that might be related. I'll try leaving WiFi on to see what happens.

Does anyone know how to tell where the location data is coming from? I'm thinking of rerolling my own with Tasker, based on Cell ID when not charging if this doesn't get fixed soon.

Rick

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrush4:
I plan on buying a new digitizer to replace the one on my phone since I manged to scratch it just before my screen protector arrived (there was a backlog of undelivered parcels at my post office, my screen protector should have been there BEFORE my phone -.-)

I'm pretty comfortable with the process of replacing the digitizer, but I've got a quick question (maybe not so quick to be honest.)

We should have all seen (and most likely drooled over) the new colours being released, I was wondering if a digitizer from the US Sprint or Verizon variants of the s3 would fit my uk/international s3? I'd love to get my hands on the silver digitizer and back plate, but I don't want to fork out £200 to find out it doesn't fit!

Is there anyone who could shed some light on this? would carrier specific radios be located on the back of the digitizer or something?

Cheers!

I always wanted the dock to use as an alarm clock. Anyone know what happened? Typical Google dropping the ball on all the accessories?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] wildtouch:
I'm not 100% sure it would be Google that would be responsible for the manufacturing of such products. ASUS and/or some other 3rd party company would be equally responsible.

I, too, would like to have a nice dock for my N7 though.

2.9.29 is obsolete / new 2.9.29.1 Release at MiuiPortugal

I am not that active here at XDA mostly because I am moderator/tweaker/modder at MiuiPortugal

The 2.9.29 pointed at the first post on this thread was still related to the first RC's I compiled based on Geno's Miui (just like CrazyGamer)... With some help from turkish, russian and chinese miui members, I was able to get things working "almost" properly with 2.9.29.1, as I state on the official thread...

But future releases might improve performance and stability...

Hey i flashed this rom it seems good but its all in Portugal.. i direly need it in English Please.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
Thanks man! I have just flashed the latest 2.9.29.1 from here

http://www.miuiportugal.pt/threads/miui-portugal-v4-2-9-29-1-base-genokolar.1982/

It seems great, but I need to check it for at least 24 hours to be sure about RAM!

I have some questions/ tips for you:

Is the swap option still using data partition to create the swap file? Can we somehow change that path?

Can you do something to fix the network location feature? It still doesn't detect the geolocation through wifi etc...

You should enable ZRAM from the /system/etc/enhanced.conf file. I feel that it makes things faster and improves memory management.

What is the better option to use for composotion type; dyn or gpu? I feel like gpu is faster but I'm not sure.

Finally, VSYNC is by default off. You can change that from the /system/etc/enhanced.conf file. This gives less flickering and some better battery over performance...

Cheers and thanks again!

PS: You should post some updates/links-to-miuiportugal in xda too, in order for us to follow you guys more easily. You are doing a great work there! Keep it up...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] msbomberman:
Fix for memory issues:

Settings -> Developer options -> Background process limit -> (Default is standard, but you can select from "Nobackground processes to the maximum of 4)

P.S. - Standard is variable... It means it can run from none to all active processes...

I am testing this ROM at the moment and its prety fast and smooth. I like it for now.

There is any app to record with auto focus? That is a thing there I miss from MIUI XJ Rom. I really like that function.

I try LG Camera pro but the app have error when I am trying to recorder. Maybe I need to configure something in the app :eek:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] msbomberman:
1. Yes, it is... And I still don't know, since swap file creation should be able to be under sdcard sd-ext, but it is still under development... (sometimes I get the feeling not fully functional but Gen(i)o(us) is still working on the SWAP function);

2. It can be done, yes... But I haven't really thought of that, since it was a pain to get GPS fixed from 2.9.29 -> 2.9.29.1 (but thanks for the heads up, since no one at miuiportugal.pt reported that) THANKS;

3. I enabled it under the RC1 -> RC3 but I haven't noticed any kind of improvement (As you will be able to test it for yourself);

4. That is a question that puzzles me all the time... Theoretically gpu is faster, though I got better results debug.composition.type=dyn

5. Yes, so true... But with VSYNC on you save battery, but you get higher memory usage.

Remember this build was stripped and tweaked in order to get fully functional for non "ultra-crazy" partitions as I call it...

You may need to enable swap and zram in the kernel to get it working. Feel free to use my source to get it working. My kernel works with miui v4.

1. Come on, it's not that bad, and it was RC you tried... It's not just Geno's converted into themes... It's a stripped and slim V4 to be able to run on non-ultra crazy partitioned devices, decompiled, tweaked, modded and recompiled... (Compare Crazymiui 2.8.3 with Geno's original release and tell me what see...)

2. Permission problems were a fact on early releases, but not since 2.9.29.1... And I have to say, I am a ChainsDD's Superuser kind of guy, so I take permissions in a simpler way,

3. Flickering buggy graphs fixed with VSYNC=on, which is default on latest release;

4. Google Play I admit, it's pretty universal, but I chose to let you choose if you want it or not... If you decide it's a go-go, then install it the way you did (remember, not being a system app is less painful all the ways)

5. Geno is Gen(i)o(us)...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] msbomberman:
I tried just now different camcorder modes and it works perfectly fine... No reboots, no FC's or whatsoever... Maybe I'll have to test it under different stages (as it in different memory consumption stages)...

The changelog is posted for supported and official MIUI device receivers, we got some for our device, not all (Geno's the man)... We, at the IDEOS X5 community have been developping, modding and tweaking semi-official releases hoping that Huawei open their eyes and release OFFICIAL ICS... Dzo made it possible, but it's not official and completely compliant.

All we can do is wait... But while we wait we can show them it can be done... As it has been for quite a while...

Question: Have you opened Lite System under Settings -> Additional?

Because if you have, the first time you select that option it will automatically freeze all those services...

Service deactivation/reactivation in Lite System:

Google services - All Google activity as well as Google account/s (You need to re-set them up once you reactivate it)

MIUI services - Deactivates native Miui Market, Updater and Feedback, as well as Xiaomi account/s (Sames as in Google)

Network/Safe - DND (Anti-Spam), Monitor and Backup

Others - Unknown
