Hi, if you have activated location based WiFi, you will see an icon that location based WiFi is active, and when you are near a location you have activated with location based WiFi you will see the WiFi icon in your taskbar.

The normal WiFi icon still applies. If you are at a location you will see the WiFi icon, if you are not you won't see it.

You can enable WiFi if you are not at a programmed location, but of you are at a programmed location it will always try too keep WiFi on, thus enabling it again if you intentionally turn it off.

Did I help? Then please don't forget to press the thanks button.

Is your question solved? Then mark your question solved in your title.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kenwchan:
Solved

Yes, you're right. When I have the Location Wi-Fi icon on the left of the notification bar showing, the other main WiFi icon will switch on or off by itself, depending if you near one of your listed WiFi connections. Awesome.

So in other words, it doesn't matter if you turn WiFi on or off or not, it will turn on/off by itself if you have Location Based WiFi on. I assume the first step I guess, would have been to turn it on, as you have to register one of your WiFi networks anyways.

Thanks again for the posts.

Regards

I use location based WiFi in conjunction with Juice Defender.

That way, JD keeps the WiFi off when my phone is sleeping but it gets turned on when I turn my screen on and am near a home network!

Yesterday I didn't use my phone all day apart from 2 very short phone calls and was at 89% battery life when I went to bed! This is very unusual as I'm always on my phone so really surprised me!

If I helped hit thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] davidmarcoes:
Wifi battery consumption it's really nice, less than 1% by hour when phone is sleeping :good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
Hi folks,

an other very short tutorial for the people (cooks), who do not know how to use the preload (hidden) partition and symlink system apps to it.

Some basics on preload-partition and why you should use it:

We have the so called 'hidden/preload partition' (mmcblk0p12) on our device. Besides the system partition with around 840 mb space, this hidden partition has additional 500 mb...this 500 mb were thought from sammy in the beginning mainly for their own crap like gamehub apps or learning hub and so on. But as system partition is on the edge right now with jelly bean they also use it for placing system apps inside --> the reason is that 840 mb in system is far to less for all files!

Usually most cooks just transfered system apps to data partition (located on your usb storage) to get out of this mess. This method with using hidden partition just gives great opportunity to keep your system partition smaller and you can transfer apps to it which you can not move to data! Your device will probably also perform faster with less space used inside system-partition. Our kernel dev Phil also made it possible now to backup/restore preload-partition within nandroid on his newer CWM-recoveries --> so now you can do a full backup/restore including this preload-partition....before it was not possible!

How to symlink system-apps to preload-partition:

just take the app 'Notepad++' (google for it) on your PC/Laptop, open it, create a new file and put the following inside ('nameofapp.apk' is just an example for any app you wanna symlink):

save and close as 'nameofapp.apk' --> this is the one to put inside /system/app to symlink to the original one you put inside /preload/symlink/system/app.

Now do this steps with every system app you wanna symlink...

This is the manual way to this, though I know scripts can be used to do these steps automatically...;) But this way you at least get a basic understanding how it works!

I won't tell you how to push apps to preload-partition inside CWM-flashable ROM in general, cause this is basic knowledge when you wanna cook a ROM - but you could download any ROM already using this method and look inside 'META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script' and you will know how to do this. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] not-i:
Thanks for the guide mate. I'm sure this will help a lot of us out
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ThaiDai:
In dsixda's Kitchen the symlinks are automatically generated with a few lines of code in updater-script.

I'll will try to extract them when continuing to work with my Rom/Tutorial, so non-kitchen-builders can user it in their updater-scripts.

Have to say: it's very nice that you share your knowledge and experience with us, eybee. Thanks for that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bizmarck:
Thanks for the knowledge.

You're the man.. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maskerwsk:
Hey eybee. Nice guide.

One question. I'm using dsixda kitchen to build a rom but the zipaligning falls over when it reaches the nameofapk.apk text file. Anyway round this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ThaiDai:
What do you mean by "nameofapk.apk"?

Maps.apk? (Then I know what you mean).

eybee won't give explanations for that because he doesn't use the kitchen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maskerwsk:
yeah for example i moved MusicPlayer.apk to preload and created notepad++ file for MusicPlayer.apk which i put in system/app.

but when zipaligning apks in kitchen, when it reached the system/app/MusicPlayer.apk it fails
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
of course i fails...you can not zipalign a symlink ;)

just zipalign before, when all apps are still in /system/app and move to /preload afterwards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ThaiDai:
The problem is explained in the kitchen itself. You get a warning to move all apps first before de-odexing.

But I didn't get any mistake like this when zipaligning - I think the related script checks if there are symlinks. I move the apps before the de-odexing step in the Advanced options but not when zipaligning. So maybe he has some other problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
As explained: he is trying to zopalign the symlink in /system/app which of course fails (it is just a link named .apk!)...the original app he already moved to preload
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maskerwsk:
Awesome. Thats what I was after :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] shoey63:
This is excellent! We can now take control of an extra 500mb that Samsung thought we would never have access to:cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
this partition is well known since Galaxy S2 (paulobrien was talking about it back in Aug 2011)....but was not really needed til now
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Robbie Hood:
Using a simple more powerfull line in update script

symlink("/preload/symlink/system/app", "/system/app");

this symlinks the whole folder to system/app so all that is in preload is also visible and active in a linked system/app folder.

This removes the whole functionality of the /system/app folder though but you have a very fast and clean system saves a lot of typing/ copypasting though :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
yes, I saw in your script already :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Robbie Hood:
Always finding ways to improve :highfive:

So there is NO /system/app folder in my rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] shoey63:
@RobbieHood. How would you do in user space? Using linux commands in terminal for example?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
for all: but there will be one after installation, but just containing symlinks...:cowboy:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Robbie Hood:
well not exactly :p

The folder is linked so when you open it via /system/app or any browser you are virtually in /preload/symlink/system/app with the real apks:o

its somewhat the same principle as the sdcard on galaxy s3 which is linked to /data/media and does not have its own partition
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
Ok...this is the correct way to say it ;)

Just did not want anybody coming in here then and say "hey, when i open with Root Explorer i still can see /system/app and all apps inside..." ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] beforedenied:
Hello,

Today I had a couple i777's taken apart that I was fiddling with while I replaced the screen on one, and noticed that there is a location (facing the screen, the top right hand corner) that is just a metal brick. Possibly a heat sink, that could easily be drilled out to install a LED light for notifications! Then I was thinking about the location for soldering the light on, and thought.. Why not solder in line with the camera LED? There are apps that use the camera LED for flash notifications, right?

The only thing is, the camera LED would flash when the notification LED flashed.. Also there could only be 1 color LED, and visa versa, so if you took a picture with flash, notification LED would blink. Not too big of a problem though right? There would not need to be any drilling of the screen either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jmgelba:
You would need a current limiting resistor for the new notification led. If you make the same current available to that led as the high power flash led, you will release the magic smoke.

Right of course! All LEDs need resisters, but some come in Little light sister packages

during deodex there's option to change API, then you get a screen with availible APIs and for gb2.3.x it's 10 so just enter correct value ;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morejaylesswar:
I feel like this is going to belong. Apologies. (feel free to skip to......)

When I turned 18 in '07, I purchased my first smartphone which happened to be the first generation iPhone on launch day. Since then, I've continued on this strange road with Apple products. That iPhone opened my eyes. It was my everything. Since then, I've had every iPhone (including my purchased & returned iPhone 5.) I am currently using a 4s and am unhappy with it. Well, not unhappy. I don't know the word. I'm just satisfied with it. Not happy, not enthusiastic about it. It's just... there.

My tenure with the iPhone hasn't always been grand. In 2009, my iPhone 3Gs took the biggest crap on me. I ended up replacing it 3 times. When it messed up for a 4th time, I decided that I'd switch to Blackberry. What was Android anyway? it was such a knockoff to my superior iPhone. I stayed with Blackberry for 10 months before going back to an iPhone. This time it was the iPhone 4. I loved it, until I didn't.

In 2011, I finally dumped my iPhone (for what appeared to be the last time) for my first Android phone, the Motorola Atrix. I did everything to hate that phone for the next three months... That was until I loved Android (with the help of this website and forum). Earlier that year, I started working a job at a cell phone retailer and began to learn Android in and out. I got to play with the coolest phones. We don't sell any Apple products, by the way, so it was all Android.

I thought I was done with Apple, that is until the 4s. I ditched my Atrix and newly acquired Droid X2 for the iPhone 4s. I felt bad as if I were regressing to a horrible drug after being sober for so long. Now a year has passed and I see that I've completely effed up.

(....here) I am currently in the market for a new phone. I've purchased the Nexus 4 and I'm waiting for the 5-to-6 weeks to pass until I get it. The thing is, that I'm so used to my iPhone that I'm afraid it will be a frustrating adjustment for me and this device will end up being a $400 (more like $383.93) paperweight. I've watched every unboxing and comparison video that I could find on YouTube and have read as many threads that my eyes could take on XDA.

I can spew out specs for days. Hell, I'm a salesman. I know the flagship phones in and out because I am setting them up all day and fixing issues for customers. It's always fun when they ask me what phone I'm using... Oops?

Are there any Nexus 4 users that switched from an iPhone? What features do you miss? Does the Nexus 4 adequately make the transition seamless?

I'm just looking for a bit of real life users and not a bunch of reviewers on YouTube and LG Reps at my job sounding extra robotic about the phone.

Thanks!

(Kudos if you read this whole thing. Seriously. K-U-D-O-S.)

Nexus is the closest thing to iphone you will ever find in the android world. Fast updates, excellent HW/SW integration, etc.

This year I've had a lot of phones, iphone 4 > sensation > GS2 > atrix > GS2 > GNex > GS3 > nokia e5 > Nexus 4, and a lot of iphones 4S, and no one gets close to a nexus.

Trust me, you could never go wrong with a Nexus;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hung0702:
I don't fit in the criterion for responders, but hopefully you can appreciate my contribution.

It's very rare that you'll find an iOS feature that isn't implemented on Android. It's usually the other way around.

Anand Shimpi describes the two operating systems better than I can: iOS is an appliance and Android is an OS. With iOS, you have to work with what you're given and the phone is a tool, in the same way a toaster oven is really convenient for a lot of purposes. However, Android is the whole damn kitchen. It's a real OS and gives you the opportunities to do precisely what you want done.

On iOS, jailbreaking is a bit daunting due to the loss of Appstore access and security features. I've also heard that stability is notably worse. However, rooting on Android is a very common and standard process. It's akin to providing yourself an administrative account on Windows, as opposed to a kid's account with limited access and abilities.

In all likelihood, there's not a thing you'll miss about iOS that isn't identically fulfilled by system and third party apps. Except in the case of a few select games and apps (Hype Machine is one that comes to mind) Android equivalents are just that: the same app, but for a different platform.

Now for my bias: I think of iPhones as glorified dumb phones. Widgets are essential for me, and the modularity of the system allows you to actually use an OS fit to your liking. In don't see a functional difference between iPhones today and the Sony Ericsson phone I had on 2003. Both just run apps and give extremely limited access to the file system. I want a real file explorer, and apps that can utilize libs/APIs that significantly improve performance (the reason why iOS browsers not based on Safari suck). I want to install apps that replicate system functions, and do so in better ways. Sometimes, in illegal ways (WiFi sniffing and unpaid tethering), but it's my choice whether or not to do them.

I don't think you'll miss anything about the iPhone. At first, you may think Android is a little clunky, nonstandard, or even un-navigable. But just give it time and you'll come to appreciate the difference between the two OSes. One provides a great out-of-the-box experience that can't be tinkered with, but everything will be generally familiar. The other provides nearly complete freedom to change how you use the phone, at the cost of a dictatorial structure. I prefer the latter, as no phone OS is even close to what I want. Android let's me add, remove, and modify itself to let me get a little closer to having a desktop in my pocket.
