ive had nonstop maps issues on eh09, ei20, and eh03, doesnt seem to matter

I've had the same issue. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Maps to see if that helps. So far no other issues, but it's only been a little bit of time. Anyone else? I'm currently on EH03 debloated (courtesy of nitsuj17 I might add).

For me it started with their update that spilt maps into specific versions based on you're phones screen resolution

I have been having this problem for the last month. The only thing that sometimes fixes it is the hold power 30 sec/pull battery then launch maps first.

I have had this issue also. I noticed that clearing the data or cache before using navigation will prevent it from happening.

I had this problem as well. After I reinstall it hasn't occurred again. Hopefully it'll stay that way
cm7 w/ glitch v13
oc 1.4 ghz undervolt -100

Okay nvm, happened again. Though it seems to only want to do it when it's connected to my car dock.

I have also had this same issue. Everything else on my phone is working fine but Google Nav, Waze, or Sygic all crash with a force close error when trying to launch. Reinstalling the apps doesn't work for me.
I haven't tried Wiping data....It might work but I'd really hate to start over again.

Does anyone have an old version of maps I can install that doesn't have this problem? I've been trying to start up maps first before navigation, but I still get the haptic feedback crash from time to time.
Had to replace Pandora with an older version to keep songs from skipping.

Which version of Pandora did you go back to get the songs to stop skipping? Been having this problem myself. Is it possible for you to post the .apk?

Honestly, I was so fed up with Pandora being nonfunctional, I just grabbed the themed unlocked apk floating around here. The version is 1.3 and I haven't had any of the problems since.

I'll try to figure out how to link it to you on a pm.. It will be a couple days before I'm back to my computer. Or if your comfortable giving a email in pm I'll send it with titanium backup to you.

Thanks, would you be able to upload to a file sharing site? From the topic, it looks like I'm not the only one whose been having these problems

In case anyone else needs older versions of apps, check out http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/
Maps 5.8.0 seems working for me. Hasn't crashed yet.

Since my Vibrant is my first android since the G1 (only had it for about a year) I am not sure if this is a specific problem with the app or just with the Vibrant.

Yep, lots of crashes here. I can only get 3 posts and then it's a force close and upon starting again I get a un responsive keyboard.
Yeah I get crashes in my vibrant all the time..i came gee to post about it, saw this and at least I'm not alone ha. Some time nothing happens but it says it crashed...other time I have to close the program orry I can't use swype keyboard

Get the same problem. Its inconsistent though. Someone else gave me the tip if you get locked out turn your KB into landscape and it will work again. I also noticed if you prompted to log back in, press cancel, then back (@ loading prompt) and you will still be logged in. I'm thinking this might be party of the problem though.
anyone know if this is exclusive to the Vibrant or if it is just with the android in general?

I use the app on my compal tablet with no problem, but on my vibrant it acts up sometimes. Last night every single time I would post the app would pop a FC window and would put me back to the main menu of the app. The KB issue I've seen in other apps such as facebook and even "send dev an email" in the market, so it may not be an issue with just xda app.

MX Video Player

Anyone here have this installed and now having issues since the last update to this app?
I ask because I don't want to give bad feedback to the developer of the app is it's just me and specially since it's free...

Update to anyone that may care send email to developer hope for a reply or that more people have the same issue to get a fix.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Maybe if you gave us a little more information as to what "issues" your having, someone can try to replicate them.
The issue im having is the following ever since the last update came out for this app about 3 days ago.
If I click on the video I want to see and it will show for a second and then the screen goes black. As if the screen times out. So then I have to click the power button to turn the screen on and see that the video is still running yet I only see it for about a second again before I'm kicked out and again screen goes black and I press the power button and unlock the screen again and after that hope the video is almost over or have to turn off the phone because it wont let me do nothing unless the video is done. Not even the captive buttons respond once the video is running. It's almost as if it was a force close but the thing is still running. Also I have tried same videos on the stock player and double twist and they play just fine no issues.
I have since removed the app till I hear from developer or see that the app has been updated. It's also a shame because I had just come put with a Pro version and was willing to buy but wanted to see what the update did before purchasing it.

The issue is absent in my experience. It seems to work fine. My phone is rooted though, that might have something to do with the permissions needed to keep the screen active; but i doubt it.
I assume you have the correct codec installed.
Maybe there is a glitch only when updating... I installed mine after the update so it was a clean install.
Are you streaming or playing the videos locally?

I'm using the right codec and the video is local on the 2 SD card those same videos worked fine before the update. Also I did try removing both app and codec and then redownloading to same old story of it not working. I do want to point out I'm not rooted ... But don't see how that would have anything to do if it use to work right before the last update...

Update:
Just got email from dev and he said the following
" did you use a brightness control utility? similar problem has been reported when display brightness is forcibly lowered."
I replied to him telling yes that I downloaded a Brightness Toggle Widget and had it said to 0% and after I got his email re DL the app and codec and now it's back to normal
Anyways i want to thank the dev of the app and anyone that try to help out. Also hope this helped anyone and let's support great apps like this one and many more with great developers that reply back and don't just see you as a quick $.

[Q] Facebook App?

Alright...so I just downloaded the Facebook App for my phone, and when I attempt to upload a new status message, the app just force closes itself. I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this and if there is a fix for this?
I am not sure if this makes a difference, but I am currently running on Slim ICS.
Facebook has been...and probably will be the single most hated app ever created that everyone has.
Every single version made never works right.
I've actually sat my phone on to of my router...with all other processes off......and still took 4min to even open the app

Yeah, I am starting to hate it myself now, however, mines does not load that slow. My only problem is I cannot post status updates..and I don't feel like using a web browser to log on and do it.

Friend of mine using samsung 7plus on stock rom also having the same problem..still cannot resolve...if u dont mind..u can use other facebook apps..such as friendcaster..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsInVrLmNvLnNlbmFiLmJsdWVOb3RpZnkiXQ..
i strongly suggest this. its not perfect, but i would say its the best facebook app out there. def better than the default. one major feature that makes it stand out is PUSH notifications for EVERYTHING...not just messages, friend requests, etc.

I'll try it out and see if it would work for me. If not, then I guess I am stuck using the web browser method.

Haha, but mines does not work at all ever since all the updates. Has been really annoying having to log on to FB using a web browser (I use Chrome Beta or Dolphin. Either works for me) and having to update my status like that. Mines does not FC, but only when trying to update my status. Otherwise, I can basically do everything else, just cannot write a new status update.
It seems to work perfect in diferent roms. I been using euphoria for a few days and it works like a charm

Yeah, I know what you mean about the battery thing. That's why I just stopped using it, and from one of the suggestions on top, used Friendcaster up until when I deactivated my account about 5 days ago. I agree with that person that it is not perfect, but at least it gets the job done.

Thinking of taking back my S3 due to force closes??

I've been getting too many force closes with my S3... It happens with many apps and sometimes it just gets stuck for like two minutes which I can't do anything until it comes back. Have you guys had any issues? I don't know weather to take it back or do a factory data reset...

Sounds like something you installed is causing it. Factory reset it. Force Closes are typically software related.
Its happened to me a couple of times as well on the gallery and tapatalk 2 app. It is few and far between so it doesn't affect me too much.

OK. I'm going to delete some apps that I don't use and restart. Maybe it's one of those... If not, I'll factory reset it.

I currently get on XDA through my app right now...just searching for a thread listing forever...and if I hit the profile option it force closes.
Worked fine for the last week but nothing now!
Happens to me a lot when running touchwiz launcher I am now using apex and have had zero crashes. Although with android its like windows you will get force close just like windows gets blue screens its just one feature of owning an android phone but it rocks.

I used to have this problem on my OG Incredible, (haven't yet had it on my S3) and I would usually solve it by uninstalling/re-installing or clearing data on the apps that would force close. If every app is FCing though then it may just be easier to Factory Reset.

Anyone having Navigation issues after JB update?

I'm having weird issues with Google Navigation. Google Maps works fine.
The navigation app freezes and doesn't follow my movement. When I go from portrait to landscape it cuts off half the screen.
Any way I can reinstall or update Navigation? It's not showing in play store like it used to.

Gonna give this a shot to see if it corrects my navigation crashing too. Thanx for this suggestion....cross my fingers
Edit: as a side note, anyone with the navigation problem, have you done complete firmware software and hboot update or just the os update with older firmware? I only did software change and kept my old hboot etc.

Are you all running completely stock, locked, no htcdev unlock, root or anything? The reason I ask is because gf has completely untouched stock elte and gonna see if she has these problems, maybe its just us unlocked/rooted users having problems. Just another angle to think about possibly.

I am unrooted, completely stock everything. Everything worked well before the JB update. After the JB update, everything still works with the only exception of Google Navigation. Maps works well, but Navigation starts acting up within a couple of minutes. I tried clearing the app data and cache, didn't help either. Symptoms are exactly the same as the OP. Turning phone sideways cuts screen by half, no rendering, gets unuseable. It finally sends a message that the app stopped working.
Interestingly enough, the old TeleNav GPS Navigator (used to be called Sprint Navigation) does work, but that app is pretty ugly, and not as accurate. That makes me think it is not necessarily something broken with the GPS, if other apps can access it with no problem.

For what it's worth, tons of reports on other forums on this exact same issue. Even on Google Play, if you filter user reviews by phone, it is being reported there as well.
