i was wondering if im the only one having this problem. Just about everytime i use the navi on my evo it randomly reboots and it seems to be getting hott
Try going into menu > settings > applications > manage applications > Maps
From there click on "Force Stop" then click "clear data" and if the option isn't greyed out then also click "uninstall updates"
This will cause your phone to forget the app was ever opened and if all goes well fix the glitch you are experiencing. If you are able to uninstall updates, be sure to go back to the marketplace and re-install the latest map update.
The maps application is what controls the Navigation icon and features.
If that doesn't work - then resort to a factory data reset and try again.
If that does not solve your issue, as long as your phone is under 1 year old and hasn't been physically damaged, Sprint should replace your evo free of charge under the manufacture warranty.
Good luck!

I hadn't checked my data connection in a long time since i use wifi. There is no data coming or going and i suspect that EXTENDED CONTROLS WIDGET is the culpret. The problem is the app will not uninstall. I have tried everything to no avail. I just get a message saying "uninstall not sucessful". Since i have tons of hours into this phone the last thing i want to do is reset.
DO NOT install EXTENDED CONTROLS....its buggy and it sucks, tho it is beautiful.
Anyone with any ideas on how to get it off my phone?
Thanks

Go into [Settings > Location & Security > Select device administrators] and make sure you have Extended Controls unchecked first.
Update
OK. I FINALLY got rid of EXTENDED CONTROLS by downloading AUTORUN MANAGER. Extended Controls had 7 backround processes running which is why I could not uninstall it. Autorun Manager (donate version) allowed me to stop all of those processes and then finally get rid of extended controls. Great program tho it cost me over $4. Worth it I guess.
Unfortunately, data is still not working, although when I turn data off and on the up & down data arrows now appear, but they are greyed out, so the phone is trying to talk to the network, but not working yet. Earlier in the evening I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T rep who reset everything.
So I am not sure what else to try.
Thanks for the admin tip.
I am open to any and all ideas (((
So I updated the market to the newest version and occasionally when I open the market it tells me I have to have background data enabled. Problem is I have background data enabled. I can open the browser and everything else works but when I try to open the market and keep getting this error.
Is this affecting anybody else? Anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.
Rebooting the phone seems to fix the problem but it's real annoying to have to do that.
I have the same issue from time to time, Using task manager to force close market usually fixes the issue
I went back to the original market.
The new one wouldn't load last nite and is not all that much better for the hassle.
I'll wait until they get it worked out.
I noticed when the low battery power saver kicks in it disables the background data. Whenever you pull up the market with a low battery, you’ll get this warning. A quick enable cures the issue.
You can adjust the power saver behavior or disable the feature entirely.

Well this happened to me, except that the market still says background data needs to be enabled even after I've enabled it. I even installed 2 apps from the market in my desktop browser.
Killing the market fixed it though. Seems like the market app just got stuck thinking it was down and didn't refresh or try again.
Aside from using a task manager and rebooting my solution to this is just go to Settings -> Manage applications -> market -> Clear Data
it seems to work hope it helps
Hi Everyone,
I can't see to get any of the location services to work.
All three services are on but none of the apps that uses location seems to get a hold of the location.
For example, in google maps it says "Your current location is temporarily unavailable".
None of my android phones has had this problem.
Thanks.
Download an app called gps status and toolbox. Let that app run. You can use it to reset a-gps info, then download sat info (in the manage a-gps menu).
Let the app run until it gets a good lock. You may need to tap the screen to keep it from timing out while it is getting a lock.

Mine was the same when I got it. Factory reset and all is well now.

I tried using GPS tools with no success.
Also I would hate to factory reset.
Any other suggestions?
I am having the same problem
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
So using the GPS status and tools app, I can get a lock when I am outside.
However, when I am indoor else where I am not locatable, which seems to indicate that GPS does work but Google location service and/or VZW one don't work.
I am going to give it a factory reset.
Mine didn't work at first either. I turned all 3 services off rebooted then turned all 3 back on and rebooted again. Its been working fine since then.

This worked wonderfully.
Thanks.
I've seen the same issue on and off, just to add further to str8upx's answer, a reboot is all it took to fix for me (wasn't necessary to turn services off first).
Just wanted to update, while a reboot does "fix" the issue, it's not a solution. The issue does come back.
Turn off Verizon services and leave on google services, reboot the phone and try it.
I've banged on this all morning. So far, this has worked for me.
Settings > Location > enable all 3.
then
Settings > Apps and Sync > Google > Location > make sure both are checked.
then
Settings > Apps and Sync > Google > Maps & Latitude > Location Reporting > Detect your location. (I am not a Latitude user and have all the other location sharing stuff turned off.)
Finally
Open Browser > Menu > Settings > Privacy & security > Enable location > check Enable Location
AND THEN REBOOT.
So far so good. Maps hasn't been unable to locate me again and the browser can get my location.
I had the same issue when I first got my Droid DNA. Location services would not work for me whatsoever (weather, maps, etc.) As soon as I got home and connected to WiFi, location services started working. My wife, who got her Droid DNA at the exact same time as I did, never had this problem.
Once I connected to WiFi and location services started working, I haven't had any problems.
Not sure what the logic behind it is, but try connecting to WiFi if you haven't already.
I've seen a few other threads for other devices on these rather annoying messages popping up, but the solutions in those don't seem to be valid anymore.
The two main solutions I found were to disable notifications for the apps "Extended Standby Mode Controller" or "Eco Mode Controller", but I have no such apps listed under Apps -> All so it seems they may have changed the name. I did search for com.Extended and com.Eco, along with com.sonyericsson.Extended / Eco but again, no luck there.
Normally these are a mild annoyance, but recently I've been using my phone more for YouTube, and if I get a notification whilst watching a fullscreened YouTube video, the notification bar and soft buttons don't vanish, meaning the top and side of the video are cut off. The only way to get away from that is to totally close the YouTube App and re-open it. This is annoying in itself, but watching YouTube videos means I'm more and more getting Power Management tips as the battery is run down.
Anybody know what the app controlling these notifications is called on the Z2? I'm running 4.4.4 rooted.
If you can't find which system app is notifying, did you try keep press on popped up notification and tap app info?
I haven't yet, but I'll give that a try the next time one pops up. To be honest, I had no idea I could do that
I use that method often. It works for me to finding app of the causing notification.
Well I was able to locate the App using that method, the app is "STAMINA mode", however even though I've turned off "Show Notifications" I still get the bloody Power Management Tips.
And the option to Disable the app is greyed out.
For now I've tried clearing the cache and Force Stopping it, but I suspect it will start running again later, or at the very least will need stopping whenever the phone is restarted.
I am rooted, so I suppose I could remove it, but I'd be worried about it potentially affecting the Sony ROM somehow.

[Q] Android 4.4.2, the security option "verify apps" keeps toggling itself on
I don't like a scan periodically scanning my apps in the background, so I wanted to turn it off, but even after toggling it off (in the main security page in the tablet's menu), it ends up toggling itself back on a few hours later without my consent. Is that a common issue?
I went on the google settings page as well and unticked the two options to verify apps and send analysis info, and the funny thing is that merely accessing that page without changing the settings (and when they are already unticked) will automatically toggle the "verify apps" setting in the main security menu on the tablet. Although even if I dont visit that page, leave them unticked there and have it unticked in the main security menu, it will still toggle itself back on a few hours later in the main security menu.
What's going on here? Is google pushing that option to be on at all time to scan your apps regardless of users choice?
Has no one heard or experienced this issue?
To the people reading this who are using Kitkat, does your "verify apps" in the general menu remains unticked for extended periods of time without ticking itself back on? If so, do you have the latest versions of google playstore and google services? (can you even use old versions of those anyway? mine seem to auto update despite me having auto update disabled in the play store)
Anyone has any idea what is causing my issue and how I could solve it?
I just noticed this happening to me. It seems that if I uncheck it, then run the play store app, "verify apps" is checked on again. I don't know how to keep it off.
