Ello,
That horizontal arrow you mentioned is called Wifi Direct
Due to the leaked jellybean some of the xda people have been complaining about the wifi direct issue as it appears while the wifi is switched on.
I have it too l, was worried I had downloaded a malicious app that was redirecting all my data to some rogue server
Good to see its nothing to worry about

You can install an AV app that has a firewall like avast. It should allow you to block anything and everything trying to get out.
It should also log and report any malicious programs. I use it and it is very good.

This quote is AWESOME!! :highfive:
Aside from this great quote, thanks for the WiFi Direct icon. It's been driving me nutz trying to find out how to dispose of it. Guess I'll have to just wait for the OTA version of JB which is supposed to be online any day now. Unfortunately given Samsung's reputation for "on-time" releases, it might be another month or longer before the official 4.1.1 makes it to us.
Thanks, nodstuff!

Hi.
This app is now on the market. However it won't work on my Samsung galaxy s2 running hydro h2o rom.
Would anyone be kind enough to mod the app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Afaik this is not a general discussion/questions area, This is for releasing apps/games only. If you need device support contact the dev who created the app or post in your device section.
Yeah. I'm sure hsbc would be willing to hack there own app to get it to run on a rooted phone! Donut!

You didnt say f*ck all about "root", All you said was compatibility so the obvious answer was to contact devs to increase compatibility.
Maybe next time you should be more clear about what it is your asking when creating a topic.

PS. My Natwest app works fine on a rooted device but obviously HSBC are different in policy. Have you tried blocking root access for app with Superuser, worth a try.

Yes but you didnt mention that the issue was caused by your device/rom been rooted. The only information you gave was that it was incompatible with your rom.
I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??

I don't remember where I read this but you have to freeze FWUpdate.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

Ain't nobody got time for that
If one was using the stock ROM but had it rooted, updating would presumably deroot the device, right? Or would the update fail?
I meant Q-slide was suppose to be working with other apps, like the whole browser not just certain videos, and it was suppose to work with other apps natively. In the notification bar there was suppose to be a Q-slide bar under the brightness bar and you could select apps to play over your current app.

bloat isn't really a factor here but we can all expect better JB roms
Took AT&T long enough
I'd like to share some battery results... it's phenomenal so far. Installed and then took a nap for ~2 hours, that's where it flat lined at 16%. A little early to say, but first impressions are legit.

Dude I NEVER had that option since I took the phone out the box at the AT&T store. You're saying you had that to begin with? I find that very odd....
So I did some searching around to see exactly what Q Slide is SUPPOSED to be and I think you must have this feature confused with something else or another phone all together. Even on various videos and LG's own website, Q Slide is used to watch VIDEOS and use apps at the same time. It says absolutely nothing about having 2 different apps on top of each other at the same time. I think you are confusing yourself mate.

I asked because there is a fix for 4.2 GPS, but this is first instance of it not working on stock I recall. Only thing I can think of is making sure the apps have permission in location access settings.
Edit....I should also have asked how you updated to JB, was it by ota, lgnpst, or flashable zip.
I used the update function...I'm a noob what's that?

Thread closed, the OP already had another two threads open with this same subject, the one who remains open is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292830
Please take it as reference for future discussion and information about this issue.
While browsing a bit last night I luckily stumbled across a recovery flashable zip that fixed all my GPS issues on AOSP. I had previously tried all the other fixes that have been posted thus far and none worked on the 20130601 VRB nightly, the previous VRB nightlies, any of the PA releases, or any of the other various AOSP ROMs.
In the post it states that this will work with any of the t0lte phones, the VZW Note 2 is the t0ltevzw for those of you who have only heard of it referred to as the i605, so I gave it a shot and lo and behold my GPS locked within 5 seconds where it previously wouldn't even pick up any satellites.
So those of you having the same problem try flashing this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/40116-42...de-hello-halo-0604/page__st__490#entry1184057
Here is a link to it in my Dropbox for those of you who would rather not use Rootz:
http://db.tt/PnvlFhgy
The way I flash it and the way I have always gotten it to work is to open Maps first, click the GPS shape to get it to find you, wait until it says "Unable to locate", reboot directly into recovery, flash this fix WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING, reboot and open Maps, profit. When you are testing Maps after you flashed the fix make sure you are outside to give it the best possible chance to find satellites. If it still locks show but you are getting a lock try using FasterGPS from the Play Store to change your GPS.conf, to do so open the app, grant it superuser privileges, and select the correct continent and region under NTP Server. It should be North America for the continent and United States for the region unless you are using the i605 out of country, if you are using it out of country then select the appropriate continent and region.
I didn't create this nor in any way, shape, form, or fashion take any credit for this fix, the credits go to alba on Rootz. The only thing I have done is post it here so hopefully the people with GPS issues will see it and finally be able to use it.
EDIT:
For those of you that flash this please leave a comment starting if it did or did not work and what ROM and kernel you're using. If you haven't flashed a kernel then just put something like "using kennel that came with ROM." This way maybe we can see which ROMs it works with and which it doesn't so hopefully we can troubleshoot it and get your GPS working.
Also if the fix doesn't work download GPS Status or GPS Toolbox from the Play Store and see if your phone is even seeing the satellites. If it is it will show you something along the lines of either 0/0 or 0/x# of satellites. I have included some screenshots to show you how to find the number of satellites in GPS Status.

What ROM were you on? Did you launch Maps before you flashed it? The only way it works for me is if I launch Maps, let it say it can't find me (when in all reality the GPS wont even search), reboot, flash, profit.
Also try it without the WiFi and Wireless Networks selected under Location Access..
