[Nexus 7 Accessories] bkmaracas:
Got a Samsung chrome book in our house, persuaded my aging folks to go for it for emails docs net surfing booking holidsys and the such. Zero maintainance and easy to use. Not very XDA!

Tbh great devices, v long battery quick at browsing, v quick boot or resume. These new ones should be better and are cheaper too. Depends on your use/user. No good for games and apps really, for the online world excellent. YouTube etc. on the Samsung works great at 720p.

i barely use my laptop as can use the chromebook and nowadays hardly use that due to my N7...

I dont see how the two 'combine' particularly, ones a touchscreen tab one is a laptop-lite.

Running MIUI 4.1 and loving it (huge props to them), but toying with google now a few day's and really liking it, I did something and now it's not working correctly and I can't find much help. I constantly had my local weather in my notification as well as local restaurants, then when I had the weather card up I swiped (not sure left or right) but now nothing is in my notification list anymore.

I can hold search, speak local weather zip, hold speak sports teams and get info, but nothing in the way of the top bar with the flower and the card info, just the little box of info.

I checked and web history is enabled, location services is enabled, I need to find that "opt in" page I think to reset it up.

Any help is appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
It shows up on its own. When I am jelly bean, I swype it away but it comes back after a while by itself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlancealotx:
Cool, thanks.

It's been around 24 hours so started wondering what the problem was. I've been asking over and over for my favorite teams as that is how it got added, so also asking over and over 'local weather' wondering if that will help as well :)

Tnx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlancealotx:
Just checking, do we really think it will just come back. Reading more (there is not a lot out there yet) but reading more I see one CNET post that talks about the cards saying "By default, it always has a card showing you the weather forecast for your area. " but I'm now at 3 day's and don't even have the weather. I have searched local weather, new your Giants probably 30 times a day trying to get something to stick, but the weather was always at least in the dropdown. The other thing I notice is that home page with the flower is gone.

As I said, I remember opting in, and did something to re-show that screen and since I thought I was done said No, but just can't find that opt-in or yes activate page. Location history is in, web history, etc. I just need that page shown in this image

If it was an app, I would simply re-install, but google now is more a service than an app it seems. Tnx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlancealotx:
[solved] re-opt to google now

HA! Got it! For all those that read this and had the same issue and my last message was 'if it was an app' so I stopped. Went to the market, and 'google search' screenshots all had that top image with the cards as the example. I uninstalled it, re-installed it and went through the tutorial, opt-ed in and my teams, weather all there perfect!

Tnx again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PlatinumNick:
do you guys belive that google now sucks battery because its always checking your location and always updating card?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LuCkyCn:
Its does, I decided to test how well my phone slept last night... well Google now kept it up. My battery dropped by 40 percent. I have a buldging battery though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlancealotx:
Does it? I am using it with default settings so far but I know you can tweak how often it checks (like the weather you can say just the morning, evening, etc.). I am also wondering what 'battery use' shows. Mine has been plugged in so I can't verify what's really used, but back in the day spare parts was the thing, for you guys with bad performance, what does the battery show?

I am still new to MIUI rom's and see a battery calibrate, does that do anything?

Google Now icon gone after yesterdays update.

After the update for Google yesterday, the icon I was using for Google Now just vanished. As well, my cards got all messed up. I really like Google now and depend on it. I want the Google Now Icon back where it was. Any idea how to get it back. Google Search always pulls up a search. I just want to pull up my friendly little cards.

Suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Mike I use the Google search widget, did the update and google now still working fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikethechap:
Thanks, Someguyatx. That did the trick. I also use Nova Launcher and I guess it (or more stupidly, I) removed the icon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I'm using nova too but I leave the persistent search bar setting checked. I like the search box at the top of every screen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlancealotx:
I lost mine on an update, my fix was to goto the accounts (I have a few) and removed my primary one. Rebooted the phone (may not be necessary), then re-added that account, and when I hit the search icon was welcomed with the opt in page again.

google now

I've been using JB lately and when I used ICS I saw lately this google now thing. NOw that I use JB I loved it. It is really nice (apart of being tracked from google every where you go lol) it is ncie and help you every time I was at work and I was going to school cuz it showed me the traffic. Alos liked when I was in VA the other day I got off from a meeting and all I wanted was a beer and guess what? google gave me a list of bars right at unlocking my phone lol. but I found that it was draining my battery very fast!!!

if you wanna disable it you can disable all those cards and cancel all the syncing. That improves your battery up to 30% wow :eek: crazy!

or if you do not want to see it at all you can disable the services or uninstall everything about some google services using this app called System tuner. You can also use Android Tweak

Be careful using them though, if you dont know what are you doing you can create some "force close" issues and misfunctions on some apps. so be careful

Whats better for battery than the native Facebook ? Maybe turning off notifications will help

You can uninstall the facebook app, go to facebook on your browser, create a bookmark, and then place a widget on your homescreen for that bookmark. The site is actually faster than the app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cloudyphiz:
In my opinion maximizing battery life is all about watching out for the things on your phone that you don't care much about but are using a lot of battery life versus keeping the features you like that make your phone a smart phone.

I leave GPS on all the time, use auto brightness, have fb and fb messenger installed, use Google talk all the time, push my work email, etc. and accept the fact that this will cost me about 2% per hour when my phone is idle. I'm also using the latest ktoonsez kernel & task/kt jellybean rom and those help tremendously on battery life (1h45m since unplugging today, 51m of screen time and I'm at 89%). I have definitely been diligent about turning off the things I don't care about, like latitude, location in Facebook, rom weather, etc. and that helps quite a bit. My biggest problem has been maps running for no reason and draining lots of battery, but that sends to be a lot better with the latest rom and kernel.

QUOTE=guilhermebride;32470926]I know this topic is a little old, but I think someone else might find this information interesting:

software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2012/03/30/battery-life-on-android-what-can-you-do

ii.Mediaserver. This system process is tricky when it comes to battery. What happens is that whenever you access any sort of media on your external SD card (playing music, gallery, what have you), this process kicks off. Luckily though (but hard to catch), sometimes, this process uses more process time than it should due to corrupted contents on your external SD card. In order to catch this culprit: try clearing your battery stats (for example, restarting your device or coming off AC power), playing some music and/or checking out pictures on your SD card for a few hours. Then, check your processes. If Mediaserver is high up there in usage, you may want to consider cleaning up your SD card. Naturally, we would expect that the process is higher when media contents are in use. I can’t give you a specific guideline such as, "something is up if Mediaserver consumes over 25% battery." This is another example of where you should look up other user stats for system processes based on your specific phone and OS version. If you think your SD card may be corrupted, backup your data, format the device, and slowly, add back files and repeating your media tests. Finding a corrupted file isn’t a guarantee, but this doesn’t hurt if you suspect data corruption.​

[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
So I'm sure most of us use the LG camera since it's better than stock cm7... what I'm wondering if there's a way to hotkey a script or command that'll focus and take a picture?

Since you can change the long-press actions, it'd be nice to hotkey that as long-press search or something...

Anyone have any suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
It's like any question I ask, people ignore or just no one knows -_-.

ROM Toolbox let's you use terminal commands as shortcuts, so I was wondering if there's a shell command or similar to allow auto focusing via long press soft key...

If not I'll have to try different things later on -__-

Beta 5 using the CWM zip file by TheManii. I flashed it and now it's stuck on the boot animation, with that blue android guy thing with the angry eyes and stuff.

Wat do?
[Dell Streak 7] ikutoisahobo:
Oh, btw did I do it right?

Downloaded the zip file, pasted it onto my internal SD, went to Clockwork Recovery on the Streak by using the PWR+Volume Up and then selected the choose zip to flash and flashed the ICS B5 beta zip.

I have a feeling I did something horribly wrong because I know it's not nearly that easy.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Did you clear your cache and user data?
[Dell Streak 7] ikutoisahobo:
No. :<

Now every time I try to go to the bootloader the red led flashes (which indicates low battery charge, which is not true) and it just shuts down again.
[Dell Streak 7] ikutoisahobo:
Well the red light thing is over and I can go in bootloader, I'll clear my cache and user data and then flash the zip yet again and see how it goes.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Are you sure you flashed the correct zip? There are two in the OP of that thread. One is a zip file containing a system.img and a boot.img, to be flashed via fastboot.

The other zip is a flashable zip via CWR.

Are you coming from stock honeycomb?

Thanks for the tips, it's stock rooted HC.

But now I've got ICS working on my tab after clearing cache and user data.

I don't have a Galazy Nexus, but I think the steps should be the same. Here is a link to the factory images: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#takju . It looks like they now have links for older versions, rather than just the newest images (which is how it was when I made my guide). So that's pretty sweet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GallStones:
Thanks a lot man, i succeeded to "patch" my system files to update from 4.2 to 4.2.1. I first check what files didn't correspond with fciv (9 files counting both apks and odex) and then replaced them in system/app. In fact they were the apps I previously integrated with tb (learned lesson: never do it if you want to remain stock and receive OTAs). I also noticed many not-matching files in system/lib but i didn't touch them and the update went smooth the same.

Another thing: when in the OP you say it's way easier just to reflash the system.img you mean just run from bootloader "fastboot flash system system.img" (taken from the factory image as usual) or there's some other thing to do in order to fix the system partition in the right way?
