[Vibrant General] eksasol:
I had issues with Google applications not being able to get a location lock after installing 4.2 gapps even though GPS works.

Apparently, with 4.2 you have to manually allow Google apps to gain access to location. You can enable this permission by:

-Do a factory reset and go through the setup wizard and check the option to allow Google to get location.

-In Google Now (Search)'s Settings, look for "Manage location settings".

-Or log into your Google account, go to "Settings -> Accounts -> Locations".

If you are already using a rom and flash a 4.2 gapps package, you need to make sure to enable this option otherwise Google apps like Maps will not be able to get a lock.

Installed TWRP using GooManager. Phone immediately rebooted but then did nothing. No vibrate, boot logo, nothing. I have removed battery. Held all button combinations imaginable and am still getting no boot or vibration. I have plugged phone in with and without battery all while doing the same button combinations. Any advice is greatly appreciated.... I just sold my Note 2 because I had to pay bills and went back to my S2 which was working great yesterday.

[HTC One S] cryingfreeman86:
I have a question regarding the interaction of the Viper One S 1.2 Rom and the [kernel] [S4] [15 Nov] Ville-Z Sweep2wake | Mpdecision [Linaro-O3] [3.0.51].

I flashed the Kernel now in order to use the USB OTG function without external power supply. The USB stick is recognized as sda1.

Only when I want to run the script to mount the stick the following message is:

segmentation fault.

When I still had the Trickroid up and had to connect the USB flash drive with external power supply, it was mounted by the script.

I will not really change, because I have made ​​friends already too much with the settings of the Viper Rom.

Can it be that the Viper Rom has some issues with USB OTG function? Maybe something is locked?

kind regards,

cryingfreeman
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Not tried that kernel but to mount flash drive I use USB OTG Helper, give that a try.
[HTC One S] cryingfreeman86:
Thank you for your suggestion but it didn't work. The app can't find my device....
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I guess it dont really work with that kernel. I have no problems with it on AOSP roms.
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Yes it seems to be very picky with the flash drive that use. I use the same as mentioned above the USB OTG helper. I find it works best if right when you plug it in the second you start seeing that light flash on the on the flashdrive start hitting the mount button over and over and over again and it should Mount eventually.

And then again there are some USB flash drives that I just cannot get to work at all.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Have you tried it on a AOSP rom to see if you get the same issue.
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
Very interesting.

I recently flashed the PAC man ROM, and have been enjoying it tremendously. I couldnt get USB mounts to work before on Viper, and i never bothered with a more complex external power source tether. Now with OTG Helper and PAC man (which is an AOSP ROM) as well as the latest Fusion Kernel for AOSP, it works with my external USB very easily. No issues.

It may be an AOSP ROM and/or Jellybean thing.

AKToronto
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
So is this work for ViperOneS rom? or I need an AOSP?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
By the looks of things if its not powered its not going to work on Viper but works great on AOSP roms without power.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneralRam:
I have turned off Google Now as the drain seems to be a silly amount. I never saw drain like this on my S3 so I am just wondering if it is a software issue? Really hope this isn't normal as I would like to have Google Now on.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_YYZ:
I just disabled Google Now as I was watching the battery meter go down while I was using the device for a few minutes at time. This is with the official JB OTA for Canada on the S3.

I will monitor it over the next few hours to see if it made much of a difference.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TooSlo:
This is quite unfortunate to hear. I sold my One X to buy a Nexus 4 and have been using a loaner iPhone 4S from a friend and have been lamenting the loss of Google Now and was excited to get it back.

I suppose I should invest in some qi approved charging mats and restock the micro USB cables at home, in my car, messenger bag, and gym bags. :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Catchpen:
I think Google now battery drain all has to do with signal strength. I enabled it over the weekend while I was home and battery life was great (WiFi and good hspa signal). Im at work today and my signal sucks as usual and battery was 50% light usage before noon!

No thanks google, turned it off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] late8:
This phones battery issues seem to stem from these kinds of services using too much power. Google now and fetch services are constantly checking in on everything from location to messages to calendar etc etc. .. Fine, but the juice it seems to take up is excessive.

Wifi seems to be using more juice than normal. It's the worst phone overnight or in standby too, it drains away.

Disable all this stuff and turn of wifi and its great... But you phone is as useless as a 1998 Nokia by today's standards.

I hope it is software and OS related.

I still have my galaxy s2 and I have been using both phones side by side as both are set up with my google account. The nexus is still needing my number to transfer so I don't use it for calls... Needless to say I get a whole day extra with the s2... Even with wifi and location services ON !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
I had this issue with the Galaxy nexus. Google Now drained the hell out of the battery. Disabling it helped battery life greatly. I gave Google Now a try on the N4 and I had the same results. After getting a full charge all night the battery was around 50% by noon with barely any usage at all (maybe 5 texts and no calls). After disabling Google Now my phone is still around 90%+ by noon with the same light usage.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JS_racer:
kicking around ideas here, how hard would it be to backup and restore a stock nook color to sd, and a cm10 to internal, then change the default boot to internal ??

sorry if this has been covered, i think i remember seeing a piece here and there about it. been searching and reading and trying to be independant.

thanks so much for the time,

Joel

(is internal quicker and smoother than a .89 sd card ?? )
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No, internal is not much, if at all, quicker than an SD install if you are using a SanDisk class 4 card.

You cannot backup and restore stock to an SD install. But you can now install the stock ROM fresh on an SD. Look at my tips thread and item B11. Then you can install CM10 to emmc.

And you can change the default boot to internal, but you would have to put fattire's Cyanoboot u-boot loader on the stock SD install and change some settings in /rom. See his thread in the dev forum to see how to change the default. And to install his u-boot loader just copy it to the SD while the SD is in your PC. You may have to put his new MLO file there too.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidr415:
wouldn't changing the default boot device from SD remove the safety valve of always being able to get out of a potential "brick" situation by using SD boot?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No. You can always manually override the default selection by using the boot menu. And if your card was not using Cyanoboot, it would ignore the default anyway.

Best way? If u have rooted phone download ROM Manager and after you accsess it click install cwm...easy
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Best and easy are two different things, and truthfully you should root your phone any other way. Useing rom manager is fine and dandy but you don't learn how to do anything yourself then, which means more often then not when you run into issues later on, which you almost certainly will, you won't know what to do.

Not trying to be a ****, but the directions are pretty straight forward and amount to copy and paste with only a tad of computer knowledge.

If you want "easy" just htc dev unlock your bootloader... but in the long run it will be harder for you

sry but this not useful for me .. :( just tell me how root step by step :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Are you serious? I linked you the step by step process, if its too complicated I also said to use the htc dev unlocked bootloader method (which I'm sure you can work google to find out how)

I'm sorry this seems to complicated for you but there is no safe one click method. again, not being a **** here but if you can't follow the step by step process laid out in the wiki then you shouldn't root your phone, it will be a bad idea... but if you must still and refuse to root the proper way then unlock the bootloader with htcs method, but chance are you will run into more issues.

I'm guessing you will be happier just not alowing yourself root and stick with stock though

EDIT: forget that bit.

SamBoyHehe, is there any particular reason you need that specific firmware? I have found that XXLI1 works perfectly fine for me even though its supposed to be for the Asia region and I'm in Europe. I know how to deodex stock ROMs but don't really have the time at the moment as I'm working on my own custom one, sorry.

I'm not sure about battery usage advantages, I think deodexing's main advantage is modification and theming potential.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
Will deodex increase the battery life? Because it will decrease RAM usage but I am not sure.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] -Anderson-:
A plain deodexed rom without any tweaks will have lesser battery life than stock but not that much noticeable.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] makeyourself:
I can't think of how it would decrease RAM usage but maybe I'm wrong. Deodexing frees up space on the /system partition because the app's .odex files are repackaged inside the app's main apk file as classes.dex files. However it decreases space on /data because the classes.dex files get extracted back out into the Dalvik Cache, which is stored on /data.

Zipaligning decreases RAM usage but I think stock ROMs are already zipaligned (at least the system apps anyway) because zipalign is an official Android Developers tool.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
The deodex removes system odex which are using a bit RAM. So if yo remove it you get better battery life.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] SemBoyHehe:
can i have it one? i want flash it through odin. want it make a fresh. sorry my bad english. i just want stock deodex. i working to sent email using phone in mobile data. i hear people say that deodex rom save battery usage. i need help if can. not to force if don't want. everyday 2 or 3 times i want to charge it. maybe if i have a deodex rom fresh like stock rom. it will make more easy to save batery usage even a bit. sorry bad english.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcimafranca:
Hi guys. This will be my first time posting here and I already have average knowledge about flashing roms. I had been in some kind of dilemma recently with my Samsung Nexus S I9023 Phone's baseband.

To make thing's short, I have upgraded my Nexus S from ICS to JB OTA with the help of Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit. In order for me to do that, I had to completely Flash Stock + Unroot the phone to Stock ICS so that it can correct it's path for the JB OTA update. The update was great, and I also found out that the flashing also changed the baseband of the phone from I9020XXKI1 to I9023XXKI1. This is when the problems started.

1. The computer cannot install the proper drivers or detect the phone when it's powered on.

2. The computer cannot install the proper drivers or detect the phone when it's in fastboot.

3. The computer cannot install the proper drivers or detect the phone when it's in recovery.

4. The phone does no charge either with the USB cable or with the electric charger.

4. Bluetooth sharing not working properly.

The phone is working fine aside from those I listed, however, since the phone cannot connect to the computer properly, I had to resort in using WiFi Transfer apps to transfer files from the phone to and from my computer. I also needed to use a direct battery charger just to charge the battery as any other plugs does not simply work (The phone also charges while in TeamWin recovery mode).

I tried looking for a flashable I9020XXKI1 radio using recovery, and I found one in here unforgivendevelopment's page (update-radio-I9020XXKI1-signed) and I after transferring the file using wifi and have it installed, it seemed it made matters worse as after flashing the bootloader shows that the radio is already I9020XXKI1 however in the system it still shows as I9023XXKI1. When I tried checking with Android Info app, the radio is showing as "unknown".

Now the phone cannot charge anymore even in recovery mode and I am already losing hope as no program like Odin or Nexus Root Toolkit can detect my phone even in recovery or in fastboot. My only hope is for me to find a good I9020XXKI1 radio that is flashable via recovery, and I can only pray for me to find a working one for the fix.

I always make sure to do a nandroid backup before I do a flash, but the recovery is useless as it does not update or change the radio/baseband.

I hope anyone has an idea how to fix my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Current System Info

Model: Nexus S I9023

Fingerprint: google/soju/crespo:4.1.2/JZO54K/485486

Bootloader: I9020XXLC2

Radio: Unknown
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcimafranca:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcimafranca:
Recovery mode is the only available way for me to flash. I already tried flashing Nexus S I9020XXKI1 radio's from different sources but both of it didn't work.

Would there be anyone here who knows where I can download a full flashing of system, bootloader, kernel, and baseband? Doesn't matter if its GB, ICS, or JB as long as it's compatible with Nexus I9023 and can be done using the recovery mode. Preferably stock but I'm willing to try custom as well.

It seems that it's only me who got this issue so I can only ask for suggestions that might help me find the fix.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
I've written this guide a day back, use it to flash jelly bean factory image. It will surely resolve your issues with radio.

Make a note that the guide is split into two sections, you have to follow this one: Flashing factory image on Nexus S I9020T/ I9023

If you are stuck anywhere, comment in there :highfive:

When done with that, you might want to follow this guide to enjoy customs ;)
