I saw this pop up on Google Now. I've never seen it before and haven't heard anything about it. I guess it's keeping track of how far you walk kind of like a pedometer. Anyone else seeing this?
Same here. Popped up today. Could not find more info.

Great find! What's interesting is that Google has been tracking how much you walk since late September. Did you by any chance just get your device/factory reset it then?
Featured it in a post here
Lets hope we get some more details about it soon.
It appears to use latitude to track your location history.

I had Latitude on for a little while... but I dunno, something just seemed a bit creepy about it so I disabled it a couple months ago. I am not seeing this pop up.
Yeah i also got it since yesterday

Here's mine. Walking distance may be right, can't say for sure, I walk a lot. But it also says I cycled 11 miles in October. Funny thing is, I don't even own a bike.
No bike here either, still says 1 mile for me

So you guys turn the gps on all time and let it track you?
Doesn't it drain battery?
I think it just works if you have enabled location history, without keeping GPS on.

Works on my Note 2. Obviously cause its a Google Now thing, still though, it just popped up for me tonight.
Popped up for me as well today! Very strange and weather card is not showing in the notification area any more!

But you know Big Brother I'm sure is very interested in this new feature. I'm sure they are already planning how they can use this to monitor, track bad people or even you..?

I setup my GW today and went to Sheetz to try to use it. I sat there like an idiot with my phone out as it did nothing and the line backed up behind me. How close do you have to get to the paypass thing?
It shouldn't be difficult, just bring your phone near the pay pass reader and it just works

You should be happy that for your own security it doesn't work from 6inches away.

I tried at my local CVS today and they found out that their card reader didn't have pay pass activated, even though it supports it. The manager told me they had no idea how to set it up and that they really didn't care - in the past year that they have had it Im the only one that has ever asked about the feature.

Mine is stuck at Initializing your device. Running arhd 2.1.1 help?
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
so in my church my phone has almost no signal but my friends with Verizon and other phones than the galaxy nexus have better signal than that of mine.
what I usually do is just
1. turn the data off or
2. put my phone into airplane mode
when i turn data off, after about 30 minutes my phones gets crazy hot for no reason. and sometimes I have to do a battery pull because it doesn't respond to anything.
today, I put it into airplane mode and it didn't get hot. but after about 2.5 hours, I had gone down from 100% to 75% battery life. also it showed that "media" was 95% of my battery use.(I tried to take a screenshot of the battery but it keeps saying "couldn't save screenshot. storage may be in use"
and my phone was awake the entire time.
this only happens in my church...
does anyone know what is causing all this?
it just seems so strange because I have no problem with my phone anywhere else. I'm running liquid 1.1 and the minimalistic kernel 2.7.1stable if that relates to anything.
no idea, but the power of Google has put an advert on this thread on the xda app for Christian dating nothing is sacred from el goog!

Your phone has been possessed by satanic forces which is why it is happening in church.
Try getting it exorcised or better yet throw it into a bucket of holy water for an hour and of it still works when you take it out you'll know for sure it is possessed.
Maybe the GNex isn't the Jesus phone after all?

Use stock kernels and I find you will have better results..Most if the problems I see are user errors. My signal is not an issue. Not as strong as my old thunderbolt but also not a drastic difference as everyone makes it seem

I think my girlfriend is going thru my phone when I'm in the shower, going to grab and bite to eat, or anytime I leave my cell phone around that gives her the opportunity to look thru it. BTW..I'm not cheating on her.
Is there an app out there that will log when someone uses/unlocks my phone and or sends a pic of her when she tries to access my phone. I don't believe in unlock passwords, cause I have nothing to hide.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!

You could always clear your recent app history and check it when you think she looked at it unless she would know how to clear that. Then you would know what she opened too.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Get the app with the password but give her the password. Set that app up but use nova launcher to hide it. Give her the password upfront but just tell hr you want a secure. But in all honesty, crazy girls like that are hard to deal with. Unless you're very patient and love her you might want to reconsider. I once got in trouble for two girls talking about my small ears in Korean on a subway. Though I am Korean I don't know the language but my crazy gf at the time did. Un****ing real the situations you can go through with women like that.
...
Best advice is ask her.
Yeah people lie, but if you have nothing to hide she should have put that together by now. If you've proved trustworthy and she still has issues then talking about it would be far better then trying to bust her looking for something that isn't there.
Wife and I have open phone policy. Look at it all you want.

I was at a mall today and right before the exit, I saw an advertisement for the GS3. What was unique about it was that it told you to hold up your own GS3 next to the one in the advertisement (as if you were beaming with it) to receive a free music download.
I wasn't so amazed by the technology as much as I was amazed that it worked on the first try... and it front of my iPhone-loving friends too!
Unfortunately the song I received was Some Nights by Fun., but still awesome.
