[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ablawande:
Google Now uses the GPS to check your location if you let it. On my old phone too (AT&T Galaxy S II running AOKP JB) I noticed the same about every 10-15 minutes. I don't think it has to do with LTE though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
Not got the phone yet but does it still do this with lte disabled? Might be its not able to get position data from cell towers on lte so it defaults to GPS instead.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE_KINGDOM:
Yes sorry guys I corrected the original post, it's happening every 15 minutes approximately, but not just LTE, on WiFi, LTE, H+.. doesn't matter.

App running GPS is system UI
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE_KINGDOM:
Think I might have figured this out. GPS data location when indoors (satellite's unavailable) is impaired with LTE on.

Can anybody confirm this problem?

Turn off the top two settings in Maps > Settings > Location settings and enjoy twice the battery life.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE_KINGDOM:
This doesn't solve the issue it only prevents data being used for GPS lock.

But yes if the problem exists it will stop the battery being drained

I recently installed Watchdog Lite, to see what was eating up my battery. Determined that one major culprit was a live wallpaper. But Watchdog Alert keeps reporting that Power Amp is using 24% CPU, even though I haven't used it in days. I have the Keep Service unchecked. So why is it still using CPU cycles?

What does the update bring?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stfx:
This firmware cant be rooted with the flashtool or the adb method.

With the adb method when the it's said:

Good, it worked! Now we are rebooting soon, please be patient! ( the device rebooted as excepetd)

Waiting for device to come up again....

If you have root now, you can flash the FTF file with flashtool without wipe data, then the root stays.

hi all,

i just got the XP and updated the software to now find out that it cannot be rooted...damn i should've stayed on the original 2.3 and go from there...

i have one more issue - i can not unlock my BL, it says bootloader unlockable: NO (and i can not continue the process)

Can you please give me advice on two things:

1. LOCKED BL - how can i revert back to an older version of ICS that is rootable? with flashtool maybe? can you link me the software needed?

2. UNLOCKED BL - any other way for me to unlock the bootloader?

please hlp :(

if you want root, you can flash prerooted kernel via fastboot for example Sliding XP v4-A, works good (for unlocked bootloader)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] psousa781:
I just flashed The Goodness, plus a new kernel, and the LJ7 firmware. After rebooting the phone did a hands free activation. It completed and rebooted, but it tired doing the hands free activation again. I cancelled it, but my connection was erratic after that. I restored my backup to the ROM I had been running, but it stayed the same. I checked the PRL version and it is 0? I've tried updating the PRL, and it says it has been successful, but the PRL remains 0. Any ideas on how to fix this? Should I try manually updating the PRL?

I get error code 498 in lgp 990 custom rom.

Error code 498 is related to cache partation.

but in miui is android core process that is forced closed all the time

There is no cache mounted on the phone.

And it doesnt metter which rom ja choose. it's all the same. some rom says it isn't enough memory.

Help please. i think it's got to do with cwm. it's just wrong. it's v 6.0.1.5 i think. there was never problem with 5.0.0.7

Formating cache will not create cache partation in cwm. please resolve problem
[LG Optimus 2x] asmerito:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
Arg.

So my wife's captivate crapped out last night. She is running stock KK4 plus the latest Corn kernel. No other mods. When the phone boots, she gets to the white moving "swoosh" screen, then the animated "S" comes up like normal. At that point, it appears to freeze, goes black, and then the "swoosh" boot animation starts again. It will then continue to loop and never boot fully.

I can get to download mode and to recovery. I can flash in download mode. In recovery, I cannot flash anything because it does not recognize the internal SD card at all. If I choose to mount USB storage, my computer also does not see it (it works fine with my captivate).

I have tried:

Wiping caches

Wiping data/factory reset

Flashing the stock KK4 kernel

Reflashing Corn

Reflashing KK4 entirely

Same thing every time, when it comes back up it bootloops in the exact same way. I'm pretty much at a loss at this point and am open to suggestions. My primary concern is the internal storage because my wife takes a lot of pictures and video of or son but does not do the regular backups she should. Any help would be appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
When you said you reflashed KK4 did you use a one click that would do a complete format and repartition? Have you tried maybe placing a ROM on your external SD and trying to flash through recovery?

Honestly I'm not really sure why it's doing what its doing I'm just throwing ideas out for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
I did not partition, I may try that.

Thus far, I have been unsuccessful in getting the external mounted in this condition. If I can get that to work, I may flash a cm nightly and see if that does anything.

EDIT: Flashed the latest CM nightly using the external SD. It rebooted to recovery (expected), then when I tried to flash it again the installer crapped out with a Status 0 error. Still cannot read or mount the internal storage.

Otherwise it's ok. Flash it yesterday and works fine.

Will make a mod version with removing bloatware as usual.

I'm trying to install igo primo and get a message user interface resolution [0x0] is not suppotted or cpmpatible skin can not be found, exiting applifation

I installed software that checks the Rzlotziit screen "screen size" and it somehow shows me that Rzlotzih of "your screen height in pixels is 505

And your screen width in pixels is 320.

I think that's why I can not install igo primo.

Have installed some applications such as vplayr or mega flash or app 2 sd pro, etc. can cause a change in the definition of Rzlotzit screen?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gogodu5sU:
The unsupported resolution is due to the softkeys.

Disable them or install a rom where you can disable them on the fly. (eg. PA, PACman, AOKP, etc.)

see under "Extra Downloads - Softkeys_Switcher_for_NAND_and_NativeSD.zip" - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21173918&postcount=1

That zip-file is not a rom. It only disables or enables the softkeys for your rom. That's all it does.

0.Put Softkeys_Switcher_for_NAND_and_NativeSD.zip on your SD-card

1.You boot into recovery (same as installing a rom)

2.Choose to install Softkeys_Switcher_for_NAND_and_NativeSD.zip

3.Aroma installer will open

4.Choose Nand or NativeSD (i am not certain/i don't know where you installed the rom)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:
So I got the 10 pack + keychain kit from tagsfordroids.com. So far, the only real uses I have found were one for work and one for home. When I get my Bluetooth carkit thing from Dice Electronics this weekend, I may go ahead and program the keychain as well so the phone will connect to the car and such once I am in it. I am using NFC Task Launcher to program to tags.

I was wondering if anyone else uses NFC tags and for what uses?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] se1000:
I just got a few and do the same. I have one where I come home it turns on certain features, I have one in the car that turns on bluetooth, and one on my keychain that turns off WiFi, BT and a bunch of other stuff to save battery while I'm out. It would be even easier if someone would hack our nfc.apk so the setttings would apply at the lock screen or while screen off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chucktdriscoll:
I use AnyTAG (free market app). It doesn't actually write the NFC tag, just reads the ID number from it (so you can still reuse "locked" tags). Would highly recommend it if you're the only person using your tags.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:
This was one of the first things I noticed immediately. Yeah, we know it's not much more to unlock the phone first, but would be soooo convenient.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
I am moving this from General to Q&A because well, its a question. But I am very interested in how to use these better. It is a function out there for these phone that I think is not tapped enough. Maybe this thread will generate more information on the subject.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:
Thanks for the move. I struggled with whether is belonged in Q&A or not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
You have to unlock the phone to use them?? From a security standpoint I guess that's good but for convenience it almost makes them pointless.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:
I wouldn't say pointless. They can be programmed like a batch file, performing multiple tasks, not just a single function, but I agree that being able to do them with the phone locked would be nice.

I suppose though from a security standpoint, it does make more sense, didn't think of potentially harmful NFC uses.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] circuit.007:
For me its not worth buying tags for something I can just take a couple seconds to do or automate with tasker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:
Others have said this, and I simply say "6 in one, half dozen in the other"... really just a preference at this point. In the meantime, I would like to keep this thread going as a discussion of uses for it, not reason to not get them.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I thought it was done already?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
FWIW, here is a small 8 min video I just saw when I was looking for something else about some of the functions of NFC. He is using the same NFC launcher app that you are using as well. But also talks about how some Samsung NFC tags won't work with Nexus 4 but do obviously with GNex.

It is from Gigaom, off the Reuters news site.
