Ok, actually it's not random.
Exactly every 12 hours on the second (at 12 (PM) and 12 AM) a so called "toast" notification (the small grey pop up) tells me that GPS is turned off. The thing is, it's always off.
Anybody knows why this happens? It doesn't really bother me, but i'm really curious! Does the government track me (where's my tinfoil hat??) or is it simply a weird SW bug?
I don't have any strange or unpopular apps installed so it can't be spyware. Google told me nothing.
Any ideas? Thanks

Have you signed into latitude? I used to get a smiliar pop up saying Location not available or something, and it stopped when i signed out of latitude.
Yes it looks like i'm logged into Latitude. Logged off now, so we'll see what happens at 12 Thanks

From Google's press release / blog post today:
With Android 4.2, you can add multiple users and switch between them instantly right from the lockscreen. We believe that everyone should have quick and easy access to their own stuff -- email, apps, bookmarks, and more. That way, everyone can have their own home screens, their own music, and even their own high scores.

This will solve one of my greatest complaints -- my only complaint, actually -- about the Nexus-7. I have to go to lengths to be able to hand my tablet to anyone else to use while still protecting my privacy. It galls me that not only do I have to lock down the Gmail app before handing over my N7, I have to lock down Chrome too, because Chrome will either automatically log into my account when Chrome visits mail.google.com (aka gmail.com) or will offer to do so. Same for all other Google sites (e.g. Google+). I hate that. Once JB 4.2 is on my N7, that will no longer be a concern.
This is pretty nice; although I don't let anyone else really touch or use my Nexus 7
When would they start 4.2 OTA for N7?? Nov 13 or earlier?
This would be nice.
My nexus is used as a family tablet & i'm reluctant to add my google account.
I'd like all of the goodies from the store from my account but don't want my gmail on there as the wife would go mental if she looked through all of my reciepts!
Yeah any word on 4.2 update?

My kids will be excited the most! High scores and level progress is a hot topic around my house.
I do agree it will be nice to protect my gmail, gallery, and Facebook more easily.

Can you make other accounts limited users? As in, no you can uninstall half the apps I have installed. I launch a file manager and go snooping around other account directories.
I though the update was today... i immediately checked for updates on my device as soon as I saw 4.2

I would actually let other people use my tablet with this!
This is huge... We're beginning to roll out Nexus 7's in select areas of work (K-12 public school district) to students with special needs and/or classes who can benefit from these devices. It would be awesome to have multiple accounts, ESPECIALLY if we can lock it down. I'd love to hand the Nexus 7 out to elementary students knowing that the icons cannot be deleted, etc. Any word on the degree of limits, if any, you can assign other users?
Should be good, chromebooks do this well already , log in and have all your ****, themes, bookmarks, logins/ passwords, apps, Google drive etc all separate and personalised. Even downloads are in a user specified area, available to just that user. simple old idea, but effectively done.

I'm sure it'll have some sort of administrtive rights to it
I share my Nexus 7 with my daughter - and it is actually quite hard getting it away from her.
Separate log ins and sign on's will make everything a lot more convenient - except the physical part of getting it back...
Now she can have the screens the way she wants.
It available for the nexus 7 device ?

An idea I've been kicking around for a couple months now. I finally accepted that I won't ever own a computer or laptop. I despise my Note 2, the only thing keeping me on it is LTE, obviously the 7 lacks. But a larger screen is something I keep wanting more and more. The only other problem is the worrying dependency on GV in order to make it work.
Very nice article.
I don't think the Nexus 7 will fit in my pockets, and also, Google Voice isn't free in my country and isn't really supported, so I prefer my regular Galaxy Ace for the outside, and the Nexus 7 for the inside .
I use mine as a wifi phone with the groove IP app, when my phone goes dead.

I'm already in. If you had it sent to your Gmail, it might get caught up in your spam like mine did.
Good to know. I'll have to double check on that, thanks for the tip.

Any one else notice a pattern for all the reviews for this app.
"Thank you so much BlackBerry team. I was waiting this app. Its really great user friendly and smooth."
They are working with Google to remove these fake reviews
Oddly enough, I was able to sign up without getting the email by just putting my email into the app for a second time.

Bypass email or queue wait for BBM activation
Do not wait for Email confirmation/ or do not wait for blackberryto put you on the top of the queue. Simply use your friend's email address who has activated BBM. Then on screen 2 use your own email id to create new BB ID.

Got in today; the turnaround seems to only be a day or so. Now, to find others who are already here.......
Was trying to get my wife on this app; she has always said the one thing BB did right was the messaging app. Meanwhile, I did a fresh ROM install and now the app won't get past setup. Uninstalled....
Why does everyone want BBM what is the benefit of it over other means on android?
Dunno, none of my friends are on it so I already uninstalled

Is anyone experiencing any issues not getting notifications in Hangouts? I only get them 10% of the time, no sound or icon in taskbar. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it didn't help.
I am using hangouts for my Google Voice number, so I don't know if that makes a difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fabio

Ya, I noticed this morning it was doing the same thing. It might be a google issue also. Going to so if it clears up by later today.
I have the same.
I have the same on a Samsung Galaxy Alpha. No messages are coming in unless I actually open the app, then everything comes flooding in all of a sudden.
Push notifications are working fine for all of my other apps.
Hopefully this gets fixed soon

It seems to be working fine for me now. Must have been fixed on google's side.
I use hangouts for 8-10 hours per day constantly for work. During that time period I am signed in on my work laptop and for about 4 hours of that time, I am also signed in on my home laptop, and of course my phone is always signed in. The only times I ever miss notifications is when I am in very poor coverage with my phone AND I am actively using hangouts on one of my laptops. I experienced the same behavior on my S3, Incredible 2, and Eris. I have never not received a notification when I was not signed in to 2 or more devices in nearly 5 years of using gtalk/hangouts for 5 or more days per week.

It was a pretty widespread issue last week and was well reported online..so you must have just not noticed that they were coming in delayed.
