GPS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Does anyone else have this issue: every time I unlock my screen, the GPS indicator on the notification bar flashes for a few seconds then goes away. I can't figure out how to see which app could be using the
GPS.

Facebook? Seems like it checks my location whenever I fire it up.

I kept having that issue, and couldn't really find what it was. Then I gave up and just disabled my GPS altogether and enable it whenever I'm using the navigation, which I do use sometimes, but not that often.

Just look at your logcat....

Widget soid notifications

While using widget soid the notification s don't work unless I set it to pop up. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

SOL bro.
The phone itself must have integrated within it a policy that allows one to directly change settings from the notification menu. They say that HTC (and I guess SGS phones) has this.
Otherwise, no dice.
Glad to see somebody else using this app though. I absolutely love it
Oh well. Its fine using popup.

[Q] WiFi on Mobile off. Mobile on Wifi off?

Is there an app that can do this. Mobile uses a lot of battery life. Is there one that can do this without using GPS. Might not be possible since it will need to know when you are at home.
Maybe even a toggle widget that when pressed it will turn one off and the other on?
You can just drag the notification bar down, press quick settings and do what you're saying you want an app to do. Its still about the same number of taps on the screen.

Wireless tether issues with Theory Roms

I have an issue using the wireless tether app included with monolith theory. When ever the screen turns off, I lose internet connection, but it instantly comes back when the screen is turned back on. I had the same issue with the first theory Rom as well.
Has anybody else experienced this?

I haven't tried the wireless tether, but have you checked in settings under wireless and network - mobile network settings to see if the box that says "enable always on mobile data" is checked? If that box is not checked, the data will turn off when the screen goes off. Hope this helps!

In the Wireless Tether App, unchecked Disable Wake Lock.

I will try it when I get home and see if that fixes it.

[Solved][Q] GPS voice stuck on DATA CONNECTION LOST

I was using my GPS today to goto my cousins house, and I noticed every time it comes time for my GPS to announce the next turn, instead of saying something like "turn left" it says "data connection lost". At first I thought I was getting bad service, but then I realized I have full 4g and phone signal and my GPS is fine, its just changing the words to "data connection lost".
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using Google Navigation fully updated on NRG 8/1 stock Rom with the most recent faux kernel. It only started happening, or rather I only noticed it, after I installed the Google Now Zip in the Amaze development section, so later I'm gonna uninstall and try it again. Any other suggestions?

I had a similar issue where it would give me a street name(I was not in my home state and the name was from home) instead of the turns although it was sending me in the right direction. I uninstalled and reinstalled....problem solved. Good luck.
Live and Die on this day....
Did you uninstall Now or Navigation?

Sorry yeah, I asked because I stated in OP that it started after I installed Google Now.
But you were right. Once I reinstalled Google Navigation it fixed.itself. thanks.

I.had it happen where it was just announcing the same direction over and over, but the map was still sending me the right way. I just deleted the app data, and ask was fine again.

Note 2 mystery icon?

Any one know what this icon is in my status bar? I thought it was maybe driving mode as I was playing with that but I can't get it to go away. Tried restarting phone, battery pull. Thanks

Isn't that just GPS?

GPS, Verizon Location, and Google Location all turn this on. It has also been reported that it stays on if you disable those location services. It is assumed that the 911 location service is toggling it on.
Bottom line, it's just an icon telling you that a location service is turned on.
e911 location services icon...it can be removed by using a app like ninjamorph and modify the framework.res file
Thanks I never noticed it before

Happens on the newer phones. Can be removed, but unless you're truly anal about icons, not worth the trouble.
