Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[halon]

Is it too early to start complaining about the next update?

 

[ajdroidx]

Hmmm... this thing is buggy. The black ice rom on my xoom that is

Evening All! I spent several hours working on the Transformer because the Browser was hanging up. I tried restarting the modem and router with no luck (it runs on wifi). I was getting ready to do a factory reset when I decided to go online and see if my router had a firmware upgrade. It did,I applied it, now the tablet is flying. The WEIRD thing is, my laptop and the Nexie were running fine on the router as it was, so I had wrongly assumed the issue was the tablet itself. Moral of the story, check your router for upgrades occasionally. Lol

Anyone watch Jeopardy last night? This was final Jeopardy (answer hidden):
Final Jeopardy for May 30, 2012
Category: Presidential Resting Places
Only 3 sites have the remains of 2 presidents: 1 at Quincy, Massachusetts, 1 at Arlington & 1 in this state capital
What is ______________?

Spoiler

Richmond, VA

I shouted it out almost instantly. None of the folks got it. I'm honestly horrible at Jeopardy (wife is really good), and just stunned no one got it.
Their guesses (also hidden):

Spoiler

Columbus, OH
Boston, MA
Albany, NY

Woo Hoo!! I would've guess right!

This is absolutely hilarious. These two stores are just a couple hundred yards down the street from each other in the town I went to college at. The first one is a coffee house (Strange Brew...I hear they have some amazing blends but I'm not a coffee drinker...also known for their random sayings on their sign) and the second is a store that sells all things branded Mississippi State...tailgating stuff, shirts, hats, etc (The Lodge). To really understand it you need to have heard the song Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.

Couple of other Strange Brew signs of the past:

These in reference to the Cam Newton scandal where Cam and his father, Cecil, allegedly told Mississippi State that Cam would go there and play football for them for $180,000. MSU told them no and the next week he signed with Auburn. A year later they win the national championship, Cam wins the Heisman, and all the allegations come out about the alleged proposal.

This one was put up when Les Miles and LSU came to town to play us. Poking fun at Les Miles for his incident where he was caught on live TV picking up a few grass blades and eating them.

Couple other funny ones.

Anyone else seeing strange behavior with their nexus batteries? I got two extended batteries and Mine needs charged pretty much TWICE a day. Once before I go to work and once when I get home just to keep my phone from draining and powering off. Even sitting alone it will often be warm even if I close all recent apps.
Screen eating 44%
Idle: 18%
standby 14%

are the main ones. a little over 12 hours and my battery is at like 12% and tanking quick.
This was going on before I flashed the rom.

I would suggest flashing LeanKernel 3.4. I had the same issue as you on a few kernels. However, what is your screen on time? I usually don't get over 12 hours of battery life if I have much over 1 and a half hours of screen on. For example. Right now I'm at 29% battery and 8 hours 40 minutes off the charger. 1.5 hours of screen on time at 44% screen usage.

Hi Steven, just got home from Ryan's graduation.

Congrats!!! You must be proud. We have one more to go. My son graduates high school in June.

Can I flash a kernel on top of liquid 1.4? Or do I need to so something special? I am assuming Liquid is nothing more then a skin running on top of the existing kernel.

Yeah, you just download the appropriate kernel and flash it in CWM like you did your ROM. Wipe Dalvik Cache when you flash any new kernel though.

Just wipe Dalvik only and don't do a factory restore?

 

[MSUgEEk]

Correct, wipe Dalvik ONLY!!!

 

[ajdroidx]

downloading now.
Probably should nandroid first, you know, just in case

 

[ajdroidx]

Rom manager is now broken. Nice
Guess I will need to boot into recovery the manual way

Rom Manager? PSH I always do it manually I got to where I hated Rom Manager and it screwed things up more often than not. Manually is the way to go

 

[ajdroidx]

Got it flashed. Phone on the charger. I may look into under clocking while not in use

 

[breadnatty08]

Good luck Aj. And, if you have a couple bucks to spare, Franco's kernel app is great for quick flashing of new kernels. You can choose his or Leans and it downloads and autoflashes in one fell swoop.

Morning everyone!

 

[MSUgEEk]

Morning Dread! 2 more hours here for me and then it's the weekend!

 

[AntimonyER]

Morning svt and dread. Well I did my first ever factory reset last night, flashing the IMM76K rom from DL. Broke root, so had to figure that out, and TiBu for the first time too. Very educational evening for me. one weird thing, the signal meter doesn't turn blue anymore... Wonder why that is...

 

[breadnatty08]

Anti, are you still a data connection? Is the meter there but grayed out?

 

[AntimonyER]

Anti, are you still a data connection? Is the meter there but grayed out?

Yeah, its connected, and I am getting data fine. Also the up- and downloading arrows are still showing up.. its just that the meter is gray instead of blue...

 

[breadnatty08]

Obvious, but have you tried a reboot?

 

[MSUgEEk]

Hope everyone has a good weekend! I'm going home and getting in bed!
