[Q] AOSP has problem with Google Now - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Built AOSP and installed gapps 20130301 version. Google Now complains that the location service was off (but actually is on). Anyone got a solution?

Do you have both location access on? You need WiFi and mobile network location and the other location access.

Yes, both are on.

Nexus 7 and Auto- airplane mode by DON

Since the 4.2 update, this app is not working with Nexus 7. Any one got a workaround or a recommendation for a similar app.
Thanks.

I'm experiencing the same problem.
Same problem... Doesn't work at all.

Yes, Google hastily and sloppily killed it as a quick security fix. The issue has been reported back to Google to implement a better / alternative solution.
If it's important to you, please go to the link below and 'star' the issue so it gets Google's attention quicker.
Bring back the ability to toggle airplane mode, or a way to enable/disable the cellular radio without affecting other radios

The changelog was merged yesterday into the AOSP, nothing related to location was modified IIRC.
Re enable location access. For whatever reason the update turned it off. Hope that helps.

All works fine for me, but I used the 'force OTA update' method described in this forum. When I went to Google Now, location access was turned off (as someone else mentioned) and I simply enabled it again. Did not notice any issues with weather / location issues.
Weather is related to location so I can understand why weather is not working if location is not working - just that I did not have any issues with location.
Try going to Settings > Location Access and unselecting everything. then reboot phone, go back into Settings > Location Access and enable everything again. also, if you are rooted, try installing Fasterfix and using it to set your phone for the region you are in.
Many thanks. The problem was that In google aplications was turned off bit not In settings location IT was on.

Anyone else having wifi connection issues with 4.2.1?

I only got my n7 a couple of weeks ago and almost immediately updated to 4.2. I didn't notice any issues. Immediately after the 4.2.1 update I keep getting random connection issues. I have to turn wifi off and on to resolve it.

I had the issue.. 32gb version in the US with the sep build. I actually had it prior to to 4.2.1. I ended up going into advanced properties and changing wifi to always on. Drains battery, but fewer need to turn wifi off and back on.

Yes. I have WiFi disconnects and random reboots since the new update .

WiFi Fixer
I use WiFi Fixer downloaded from Google Play. When the connection is dropped it automatically reconnects after a second or two.
Same on my 7 WiFi stops working at random times turn WiFi off and on fixes it, only started after 4.2.1 update

Thanks for confirming everyone. I have wifi always on and still have the issue. Hopefully it gets fixed...

How do we make Google aware of these bugs?

My WiFi is always on and tethered to my evo3d at least 8 hours a day. Not a single problem under 4.2.1.

Just to clarify, i'm having this problem 100% stock. Not rooted what so ever. Roms/kernels could have this eliminated. But I wouldn't know.

No wifi internet / e-mail / notifications after 4.2.1
I am having a similar issue. Stock Nexus 7, never rooted, installed the 4.2.1 update when it was pushed. Since then I can connect to wifi connections but there is no internet access. While the icon in the upper right has small flashing arrow like data is being sent back and forth, the icon remains gray and no internet-requiring services on the tablet work. I've tried everything that I (and Google Play and Asus support) could think of with no luck.
The only thing they could come up with at the end was to restore the tablet to factory settings. Unfortunately I have application data that I need to back up that I can't access by accessing the internal storage using my laptop (I'm stock, remember?).
So I'm between a rock and a hard place here. Anyone have any suggestions? It was very frustrating when the Asus representative suggested I use the built-in backup and restore feature:
Me: "That requires internet access to work right?
Asus representative: "Oh....right..."
My Wi-Fi on both my Nexus 7's is very slow. They stay connected fine but I'm getting about 150kbps download speeds. I factory reset one of them to no prevail. Anyone have any insight on this or heard of others with this issue? All my other devices work fine on the same Wi-Fi connection and I tried turning everything else off so just the Nexi where connected to see if the speeds are faster, but they aren't. I'm stock on both devices and both are the 16gb version, one older than the other.

Known issue. I logged a bug with Google and there's actually several open bugs reporting wifi issues. So far, none of the bugs are being picked up by google officially.

I've tried this same thing, and as soon as I installed 4.2, WiFi went to sh**. Completely stock.
So turning wifi off then on seems to be the generally excepted quick fix?

Or use Static IPs. That solved it for me. I had to ask my company to provide a reservation for my MAC Address. It's like back in the 90s when Wifi started coming out using the BellLabs/Lucent chipset.

[Q] [q] strange battery life on the n4

Just got my new Nexus 3 days back.. and today was the first day using the phone not plugging it on and off thorough the day.
noticed something odd. I hadn't opened the maps app.. so it makes it even more strange.
any ideas?
Maps always runs itself. I believe this can be remedied by turning off location settings.

Which app is that by the way? And turn off location settings and latitude.

the even more curious part was that the app had run only for 34seconds!
not faced the problem today, hadn't changed any settings. guess it will remain a mystery until it happens again?
Someone was having a similar problem a few weeks back. Try going from maps to navigation and accepting the user agreements etc. Someone found that this solved the maps battery drain.

This was an issue on galaxy nexus when updating from 4.0 to 4.0.1 .all you had to do is to go to maps accept t&c and that's it.

Help with Netflix/Pandora - CM10.1+anykernel

Hi guys, I have a weird issue with my device, nexus 4 running cm10.1 and anykernel fix for wakelock issues.
Whenever I try to use either netflix or pandora radio over wifi, I get an error and cannot open the app. If I'm on cell network, they open no problem.
I was able to open them before nut I don't remember if it was before or after CM flash or just after the kernel flash.
Any insight?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I just noticed slacker radio and cogeco radio are also not working over wifi
For slacker I get a connection error and cogeco just does not play, all this only when on wifi. I wonder if this is a cm issue or kernal issue.
I hope someone can help!

You might check the thread for the build you're using.
You're right I didn't see the thread for rom but found it.
