Mine said it needed to download my maps. I reinstalled the application in order to fully remove the old maps (and have now 300mb more). I would recommend to do so as well if you are prompted to download maps that you already had downloaded.

Yeah, I needed to redownload them as well. I think Nokia Drive will overwrite them, isn't it?

I just quit the Application in order to activate wi-fi. When I restarted the app, there was again the message, that I don't have any maps on my phone. I clicked on the button to skip the download (don't remember the excat word on the screen) and under Maps all of my previously installed maps we're listed. I restarted the app once again and I got no missing map-data message
and the improvements are...?
...over the previous version?

I've read that this version allows offline maps (as opposed to the previous which didn't? i really can't tell, I never used it since I don't have a car.

Your maps are always offline. The difference with the previous version is that it now can calculate your route without the need of an internet connection. This is useful for people who don't have a data plan or when you're abroad

Anyone can send me a download link to the latest hacked nokia drive version? =)
All i can say is im amazed at how much more superior the nokia map/drive is compared to original WP7 map..... its seriously very good.
I still get the roaming charges message even with the offline mode enabled?? Anyone else get this

A-GPS is only used to help speed up locating the satellites to obtain the initial lock, once it has a fix it does not need to use it again even if the signal is lost for a few minutes.
I've switched off roaming on my phone and the message doesn't pop up any more.

Hi does anyone know if navigon or know of an offline navigation software which works with the s2?
Also, what happens when you buy a new phone? Can you just redownload and use or do you need to purchase it again?
Thanks.

Usually redownload if it came via Android market you may need to also contact the company change of phone registered and new serial .

Navigon works fine on the S2. It does not navigate to the door but to the middle of the street. Also you have to download the map directly via the phone as the PC software does not find the phone. I preferred Navigon over Sygic as it writes the next road on the display. Have not tried Co-pilot but this is one of the highest growing apps.
Non of them though seem as good as Goggles navigator but no offline routing yet :-(

So if you switch phones do you have to pay again? or just re-download from market? re-register?
I hear the registration part is long and cumbersome when switching phones.
I only ask because I buy new phones all the time.
Thanks
Navigon is best Nav for now, Sygic most beautiful and Copilot most recent maps.
boba23 said:
Navigon 3.6.0 works perfectly fine. I never had a real need to navigate through a door though ;-)
In my eyes it's way better than any other nav app out there, totally different league than Google Nav for sure ... TTS is the best I have heard compared to other nav apps, it has way more features, like Live Traffic, Clever Parking, Route Planning,Reality View (Real highway signs), Simulation ... etc etc.
Btw, Navigon Fresh on PC finds my S2 just fine, no problems there.

Navigon is definitely the best navigation app! I had the same problem that Navigon Fresh couldn't find my phone. Just mount your phone in mass storage mode with usb debugging enabled and Navigon will recognise it.
3.6.0 works like a charm!

Same operating system but mine connects to KIES when I plug the USB in and then Fresh cannot find the device. Found a solution though...
I need to go into Menu\ Settings\ Wireless and Networks\ USB Utilities\ Connect storage to PC then the SD card mounts as a Drive letter rather than being connected through KIES. Navigon Fresh is now working I would never have looked had you not said it worked, thank you.

Hello, going through USB Parameters and mounting the SD card, Fresh is able to see my internal S2 memory (16go) and my SD card (32Go). I decided to install the map to the SD cards but when I try to start Navigon it fails. It ask me to download directly with WLAN and not with Fresh !!!! But making that I'm not able to decide wether I want to install the maps (Internal memory o sd card).
How did you reach in installing the maps on the SD card with Fresh ?
Thanks a lot for your help
Hi guys,
Well... I have installed recently CM7 6.5 and Kernel 18.1. I changed the kernel version (to v18) because of the big battery drain and i can't use Maps and Navigator!
I don't remember if i tried it with Kernel 18.1, but when i open these apps, they keep loading, and loading, and screen's light turns off and nothing... they don't run!
I have tested other apps, and they run normally, the trouble is in these two apps...
=\
Someone have a solution?
Obs.: I have installed street view too and i don't use 3G.
Thanks!
Nobody knows about it?
Please, someone! Help me!

I reflashed maps application and for my surprise, the app run normally, without any problem... maps and navigator.
Well... i closed the app and when i tried it again, a problem appeared. I can see only the last map charged... if i search for any adress, it keeps charging, and charging, and the new map doesn't appear. In the navigator, the app can't find my location...
What curious case! Anybody knows what i can do to fix it?
Thanks!
Obs.: I can reflash maps several times and it works until i closed it, after sometime running the app.

You need a WORKING DATA connection, period. You can prefetch some 10 "maps" (IIRC 10 miles diameter) in latest versions to avoid that.

Hello. I got the same problem on my nexus 4. It`s used over 9GB over 2-3 days. problem began when i flashed on my nexus latest pa gapps.
Maybe that is the problem ?. I used my actual ROM before, and it wasn`t using so much transfer. My actual gapps is called pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140123-signed.zip and i think they causes the problem.
@edit
I did factory reset and install everything as before but i used pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20131215-signed.zip.
Everything is ok now so i`m sure problem is in latest pa gapps.

Hi, I have an app which looks like the developer has removed their servers so it always fails the "internet connection" check.
Its IONROAD. A AR driving app.
I paid for the PRO version so its all good. I use an older version not the latest as I hate the latest version.
99% of the app is using the GPS or the camera. It does check the internet for the weather and a few little things.
I've tried it at home while connected to wireless, in the car while connected to Mobile Data, I've uninstalled, reinstalled and updated and all versions fail the internet checks. To me it looks like they closed their servers so the app refuses to work without the internet so it will never work again.
What I want to do is remove that internet check so it will keep working without the need for their servers. If it never connects to the internet it doesn't bother me. I dont care for the current weather in a AR driving app, I care for how close the car in front of me is or if i'm drifting out of the lane I'm in. Absolutely nothing to do with the internet so how do I remove that check?
I have the APK, trying to get it into the Android SDK and not sure how? Even if I do get it there what do I remove?
All I want is that internet check removed. As I said I paid for the app so the licence check always passes as I paid for it.
The dev has abandoned the app, they refuse to reply or update. As they closed their servers I'm guessing they totally abandoned the app.
Any help what to remove and how to remove it? Is it an easy unzip, edit a file then zip and reinstall? Or is it a complete import into SDK, rebuild, test, etc and make a whole new app?
I'm not sure what or how to edit it.
Thanks

It is not a simple matter as it would require ripping the app apart and searching through smali code for the server stuff to be removed. As that is what it is doing. It uses their servers to send the weather and a few other things. Now that their servers are off you can bet that it wont be working for long as it will also use other info for things connected to the gps.

The app refuses to work completely. As soon as it loads up it says there is no internet and closes. Thats why I want to remove the need for their servers and internet.
I was hoping there might be some sort of offline mode built in I could enable or remove the "no internet connection" error so it never fails.
Go have a look at the app and you will see you cant do anything as it fails the internet check when the app loads. As they have closed the servers then they have abandoned the app so we can do what we want with it as they obviously dont care about it anymore.
The problem I have is its the best AR driving app there is for android and as they abandoned it there is nothing to replace it with as all the others are crap.
Hi, similar problem to the GoPro app where internet connection is required. I would also really like to remove the internet checking and although the app is free are we getting in to the areas of cracking?
Please update this if you get somewhere.

Just because they abandon it doesn't meant that they might not throw a fit at having it edited. I'll take a look at the decompiled apk. I have a feeling that everything it does will be tied to the servers so even if we did stop it from checking the servers the stuff you want might still not work.

Great thanks.
When the app worked it was mainly GPS and camera stuff, It would get the weather from the server and it does keep a log at the server so it will send a result at the end but while your driving I doubt it does anything with the server as I've been to some places without phone reception and it still worked fine.
Maybe there is only a check when it loads up that we need to remove?

There are tons of tutorials on how to decompile the app. You will need a pc. As for what to look for. That is hit or miss really. As it is in smali and not Java. Also there could be safe guards that if the code is removed then the app won't work. Also some apps can't be decompiler at all as they self destruct if they are.

Anyone having a go at seeing if they can remove the connection to internet requirement?
I want to keep using v1.6.3 but I did find v1.5.1 works with only a random internet check. For my last 10 min drive it checked 3 times but I did do a 15 min drive and it never checked the whole time.
As their servers are down it will always fail if it checks.
If you know where to look you will find all different versions. I wont post where but they are available. 1.6.3 to me is the best, its the most stable, has the best features but its got the internet checks which need to be removed before you can use it as it checks at the start and closes as it cant connect to their servers.

Google Maps has location tracking data under "My Timeline." Historically it has been super accurate, showing the roads I used even when driving long distances. I also always use Google Maps. Ever since I switched to the Mate 10 Pro, this data has been straight lines across 20-40 miles of distance and highly inaccurate arrival times. I thought it was just Google, but I switched back to an Essential Phone and it became perfectly accurate again. I'm back to the Mate 10 Pro and I hope it'll work now, but I'm not holding my breath.
I often use the departure and arrival times in My Timeline for work data, so I'd love if it worked. Any thoughts?

I thought it was just Google, but I switched back to an Essential Phone and it became perfectly accurate again. I'm back to the Mate 10 Pro and I hope it'll work now, but I'm not holding my breath.
I often use the departure and arrival times in My Timeline for work data, so I'd love if it worked. Any thoughts?

Did you try to accurate your GPS with any GPS app on the store??
I have same experience. I believe it's to do with Huawei battery saver. Pls let me know if you find a solution

I have not, but I use Google Maps extensively and never had even the smallest problem with accuracy. Always follows the road accurately and instantly recognizes turns (unlike the built in GPS in my Lexus sometimes). The "My Timeline" data is often just a straight line between my house and my destination, even if it's across a bridge.

That's unfortunate. Will do.
Same here, whatever i tried didn't solve it (even clean cache and data).... Even tried disabling battery optimization settings on Maps and Google Services... Nothing. I also have indications that is has something to do with multiple google accounts (i find some locations being reported in some of my other accounts). Are you on a single account? But yes, same problems, straight lines, lost stops, no routes, getting stuck in one location for hours etc...
im only on one account. is there a bigger huawei users forum than this one and the huawei subreddit?
i feel like theres so many questions with no answers and nothing being done about it
biggest forum is here dude !

What for? Any particular reason? I have put everything to manual in Launch settings, and also almost every program to Ignore Battery Optimization. Battery is working perfectly, SOT time is still amazing, and i believe programs are working fine (except Maps and Garmin Connect)... If your reasons are RAM, then i believe RAM exists to use it, not having it free all the time...

Because manual battery optimization is buggy right now.
Settings>Battery>Launch>Manage automatically all apps
In other thread here in XDA I've user said that putting chrome to be managed automatically did the trick.
You can try both ways and comment here the results...

I had everything automatic the first week and Maps History started having those problems from day 1... So, automatic doesn't do the trick for sure. Same goes for Garmin Connect...

potential solution
I checked TimeLine today and since 27/01/2018, journeys are recorded with the correct level of detail again! Google Maps app last updated 04/01/2018 and I'm still on C432. No idea what changed to start TimeLine working again properly but obviously I'm really happy. Can anyone else report that journeys are being correctly recorded again?
Nope no change.
I've got the same issue. I tried all of the tips and tricks I found online to no avail. Mine just says No Visited Places. ONce is awhile it does show a place. It pisses me off tremendously. Google Timeline is a great tool to remember where you've been
If you can't remember where you've been then you have bigger problems than Google Maps not working properly!
Personally, I try to turn everything OFF that records location(s).

Just because it isn't useful for you doesn't mean it isn't useful for anyone else. I use it for work. Exact driving distances and times at clients house are very important.
