Google navigation problem. - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Just like to say you have a great forum here.
Up until recently I have been using Google navigation without any problems however it has now started freezing on me. Sometimes the whole app freezes and I need to force close and start again but other times it will continue to give me voice directions but the map stops updating. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I have a rooted t-mobile G2 touch, with RcMix_2.2b custom Rom.
On a side note is it normal for the 3g data connection to stop during phone calls?
Thanks

Weird. Have you had the same ROM installed for a long time?
Yep, I don't think you can do 3G and voice calls at the same time.

Hi k0zmic
Yer I've had it on since about Feb this year. The previous navigation worked fine. I did remove the Google maps brut that came with the rom this wouldn't cause the problems would it? I have even removed and re-installed the app but it still not working.
Thanks for 3g info, that had been bugging me.

Hmm, not sure what it could be exactly. Removing Brut shouldn't affect it.
You could try nandroid the current ROM and then wipe it then flash it again fresh and see if that fixes your problem. I'm thinking Maps has just got broken since you've had the same ROM for quite a long time.

Thanks for your advice, might try an old version of maps, think I might have one backed up somewhere. If that don't work i'll try nandroid.

Good idea, an old version might make a difference.

I tried installing an old version but still had the same problems. Before I tried a fresh Rom install I thought I would try re-installing brut maps, so far it has worked still testing at moment but have completed two trips without it freezing.
Thanks for all your help.

Spoke too soon it has started freezing again, typical.

Its nothing to do with root.
I was having problems with it last night, which version market do you have? 3.1.3 I ask this because this version seems to work fine for me but the one before sucked big time, try uninstalling updates by going to settings, applications then find the market and uninstall the update, that should take you back to the one you had before.

Yes i hv the 3.13 version....and I have tried uninstallibg updates but that didn't help too....

I also run Jokerdroid but the one with gingerbread. I also have 3.13 market and it works fine by me. Maybe a new install will help?
I'm having some weird issues with android market also: sometimes when I want to watch screenshots I get ANR screen

Strange SMS/MMS issue

I'm currently running the 8/26 MIUI with the newest ML Glitch kernel with EC09 modem. I can receive and send any form of messages to any Android phone, but for some reason, I have problems receiving video messages from any of the Casio G'z One phones. And one I can't receive regular texts but I can get pictures, but no video. I get com.android.phone. force closes when the messages see sent to me. If anyone has any ideas I appreciate the help. And I'm not new so I've tried many tricks, this one has me stumped. Thanks all

So i'm assuming you've tried running a fix permission in both terminal, and recovery? Also i'm assuming you tried wiping and re flashing both rom and kernel right?
Edit: also i'm assuming that you did not restore any system apps/data from titanium backup or a similar program? Right?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Oh yeah. I run all the common fixes. It actually does the same thing on VGB, all the versions. It doesn't seem to be specific to MIUI, because I've had this issue since I've gone MTD. Stock kernels do the same thing, I'm lost here. I've been following every fascinate developer since I've had it (a little over a year) so flashing and fixing is fun to me. I love tracking down and fixing problems. This is my first post on XDA ever. I usually am able to hunt down fixes. Thanks for hitting me back man. I'm gonna get it, this problem won't win.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Just to confirm, I have the same issue.
So does this guy:
[ROM] Samsung FascinateMTD 1.8.5 - Page 12 - MIUI.us
EDIT: I went all the way back to Miui 1.7.22, and the v11 glitch kernel. No FC and overall more stable so far. I can even send long SMS (160+ characters) without crashing.
When the new build gets uploaded, I'll be testing.
I still have that build too, I'll give that one a go again. I'm testing 9/2 as we speak. Soon as my bro hits me back I'll know something.

Same problem still there. I got a thumbnail of the video, but no video. And it force closed as it was coming through.

How do I completely remove an app and all records of it?

One day I installed a beta firmware for the G2/vision. The beta gave my phone a weird glitch where any apps that I installed would instantly force close afted I restarted the phone, but it would work fine if it was uninstalled and reinstalled. I installed the new firmware and now newly installed apps work. The problem is that apps that were installed while the beta firmware was installed still do not work after I restart my phone, even after I unintall and reinstall the app. There must be something left from the app even after
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
Now not even new apps work, although some of them just lose all of their data. Can someone help? I'm using cyanogenmod for vision. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
I think that I found the problem. I looked in the error reports and found out that the app requires but cannot get permission to fine or coarse location. Now all that I need to do is fix that. My guess is that the phone is not correctly storing permissions. Can someone help?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
The error seems to be with the Parcel class that gives developers such a hard time. Can anyone help?

I just cleared app data/cache and I think that fixed my problem.
I just went into maps and messed around for a couple of minutes and exited out and everything was ok.
Before, my phone rebooted when exiting out of app.
Hopefully that's the fix
Thanks
I'm also getting this issue. I tried to clear cache and data for the app but it still hotboots
Created data/cache. Still hot boots.

Same problem here as well. Cleared data but did not help issue.
same here, was looking forward to the new transit things...
reboots, too
Am on stock ICS and Maps reboots my Zound every time I move around in it.
Cleaning cache no help.
Will be looking for another Maps update in a day or so!
running fine on viper rom
My phone is rebooting about 30 secs after loading Maps, going to just uninstall the update
Same things happening to me, sense restarting I can deal with. But this..
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Restarts here too. I started a thread in the Apps section because I didn't see this one here.
Mine happens most frequently after trying to use Latitude, Local or My Places.
I'm glad I stumbled across this thread... I thought it was just me..I was afraid (despite running a RUU and doing a complete wipe of my phone prior to the ICS update) that it was the ROM. I haven't had issues with the Map application itself so much as I am using the 'Local' app. That's what causing my phone to soft reboot.
I'm having this issue over on the One X as well. I ended up sideloading the previous version of the Maps app from the link below:
http://www.iapktop.com/google-maps-6-9-2.html
there are 3 thread on this topic.... XD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30345889&postcount=15
im going to ask this here too. someone with the problem please send me a logcat
maps works fine on my device and would like to help you ppl out.
viper rom, updated to latest RUU, AR 3.15 recovery 2.27 Hboot.
Hmm I was just about to return my phone for this issue. thank you all for letting me know i'm not alone on this, guess Verizon will be flooded on this Google should fix it soon then.
Go in setup/apps and uninstall updates for maps. Make sure to UN check auto updates.

[Q] Simpsons tapped out backup, will it work.

Hi guys,
I want to flash some custom roms on my one x. I really like "Simpsons: tapped out" I'd like to continue playing it. My problem is, that I'm not sure if a Nandroid backup will be enough, since the game is syncing all the time and I don't know where the data is saved.
Does someone have experience with transferring this app to another rom??? What do I need to do??? Is it even possible to properly backup this game???
Thanks already for your help.
pinstat sue
Would also like to know this! Was going to send my N4 back under warranty but would like to save progress...
I backup using titanium. Pull the three files out and dump into my tab. Restore and all my info was there. including donuts i had..
Thanks a lot!!
But I think regardless it syncs to ea servers.

It doesn't sync on Android. I don't what is happening when it says sync, but the info on play store says that it has a local save file on Android.
Curious about this as well. I was on recently level 11, and decided to flash a new Rom. As always, I used tibu to back up my apps. I wiped, flashed the new Rom, and restored my backups. I played tapped out for a while, but at one point, all my progress was lost, and it started over at level 1. I cleared the game data, uninstalled, and restored my backup again. Still at level 1. Really sucked to start all over again!

Having the same issue here. I extracted the data file for the simpsons game. I restored it into the right folder after I reinstalled the game but after going out of the game it seems to delete all the saved data I just placed there manually. Someone else suggested using TiBu which I just used but I'm not sure it will work.
I tried everything I could think of to get it to work, but it's obviously syncing with a server somewhere, but with no way to log in, it's pointless.

I'm considering editing what permissions tapped out has and going from there. Maybe that will prevent it from syncing but then again it may not work at all after after that

I tried to backup using titanium, buy mystery boxes and if they were bad restore the backup.
Sadly, this didn't work and I'm left with a couple of trees
Pretty sure that means it does actually sync data to servers about money and donuts

Yea it does sync to the ea servers. As far as I know there's no way to change that

Titanium Backup is the truth. Works 100%, restored my Pou and Lane Splitter saves with no problems.

I wonder if the problem has to do with the Google account association of the phone. You know how when you flash roms a lot of times to Google it is if it is now a different device and you lose your Google apps library (well, you have it, but according to Google it is off on a different device.) I really wish Google would let you merge device profiles in the app store.

Yea that would be easier. But it does allow for what you have installed recently at least. I can see what I have installed on my tablet and my phone or at least see the whole list anyways

EDIT: I re loaded the Simpsons backup data file today and I noticed that I can still go in the negative with money in the game but I'm no longer able to go into the negative with donuts

1: How can you go negative with these currencies, I didn't think this was possible?
2: I'd like to move my tsto game from my s2 running cyanogen onto my nexus; would titanium be suitable for this, as they are both bound to the same google account?

The modded apk file did work at one point where it let you go negative both in money and in donuts. Now it doesn't work for me.
I tried using it both on my phone and my tab 2 and that didn't work either but I also at the time didn't use titanium backup. It's worth a try
From what I've been reading people have been having a lot of luck backing up to titanium backup

Running CM10.1 on my GT-P3113
Ok, I loaded super nexus onto my s2, and used titanium to restore my game. The game loads, and seems ok, then locks up the phone requiring a battery pull. No other issues at all, problem only ever occurs with this app.
Anyone think of any suggestions other than wiping and reloading the app?

Hi guys,
Glad to see someone else is trying to do the same sort of thing as me. I've got a completely stock Nexus 7 (that I don't want to go down the rooting option just yet as it's a shared tablet with the gf) and I'm quite far into Tapped Out but I installed it originally from the leaked APK prior to it hitting the UK play store. I've since googled for the updated APK's as and when needed but now all I want to do is uninstall the "wrong" APK and install the one from the market without losing my progress. (It would also be extremely nice if I could find a way to sync the progress between my Nexus and my S3 but I think that's just a pipedream for now).
Anyone got any clues on how to do it on a stock device?
Well for anyone having a similar issue, have a look into Carbon on the play store from the makers of ClockWork Mod. Backs up apps without needing root. Very good little app.
