After I got the OTA update I faced Google navigation crashes and hangs also my battery life horrible, after looking for whobos eating my battery I figured that camera and Google maps the most power consumption. Any help with that especially with navigation?

The issue with navigation is a known problem and there is nothing that can be done about it until some fixes are made.

Mine runs fine after a factory reset. The only issue I had after the update was poor battery life but the reset did the trick.

Screen Dimming is what caused mine to freeze/crash. Turn it off in the settings for Google Navigation and it does not crash. Uses more battery but at least does not crash.

Does this happen to anyone else? I used to have it on all the time, but now it turns off. I can't get any messages from Whatsapp messenger or other apps.
I have sync on and always-on mobile data.

Are you using stock rom unrooted or you rooted? Could be wireless issue or something else some folks said the latest update that had smith apk in it would shut your data off when your screen was off. That was on the 2.17 OTA software update.
So far there has never been any proof that it does that. Anyway's if it only shuts off when your screen is off that would help save battery.

Rogers stock unrooted. And i'm still at 1.20 software.
I need the data even if the screen is off, because otherwise i won't get my messages.

Did you install any battery saver apps like juice defender? Try disabling always on mobile data and reenable. Also try turning fastboot off and reboot phone after that

Today I was trying to use my the Google Navigation on my Amaze and it worked absolutely horridly. So when I managed to basically get to my destination blind folded, I flashed the agps patch in CWM and it didn't make the gps any better. It doesn't seem to get any fixes on any satellites unless I am on wifi which makes sense because it is using the wifi network to base my location off of. I'm going on a huge trip in less than twelve hours so it would be really useful if my gps would be working functionally. So if anyone knows how I can make it work 10x better, that would be great. Thanks in advance!
Try this app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&feature=search_result&hl=en
Personally, after I have downloaded some A-GPS data with that app, I never had any problem with GPS after using this app.
And for Google navigation make sure you have download offline-maps from server using lab-feature if you aren't on unlimited data plan. I've had a time Google Navigation didn't work because my data connection was off
Maybe it is a good idea to purchase offline navigation app from android if this is very important trip.
I have attached the GPS testing from my phone.

Which version of G Maps are you using? I know the previous versions were buggy and had to update them. But I'm not too sure is the navigation app needs g Maps for it to run properly.

Tried clearing cache on the app? long shot in the dark but I would start threw there...
I am having a strange problem on the Google play market store, whenever I try to Download or update an app on 4G it gives me a message saying "waiting for network" and it just hangs there and does not start the Download process but when I switch back to 3G it starts the download right away which would be fine if my 3g wasn't so dam slow...Can anyone help? I'd really rather not download over 3g, I have tried clearing the cache for the play store app but the problem remains. I am able to do everything(browse the net, stream video, etc) on 4g except download apps from the store...wtf?

Hmm interesting, mine stopped working out of the blue as well...I have been using mean Rom 3.92 for over 4 months and it was working fine until recently. Have you found any work around? Could it be something wrong with the Google play store and not our phones?

Not our Rom or our phone. Some one over at the HTC EVO shift forums have the same issue. I say its the update. So what we need to do is downgrade the play store and break the damn auto update..... Any thoughts on how? :c

I saw a Sprint Users.com forum where all sorts of Wimax phones are having the issue currently (OG Evo, EG4T, etc). Mine's been having problems since last night. I just disabled 4G and it immediately started downloading. Unfortunately 3G is horribly horribly slow in Raleigh, NC these days. Might as well be using the Edge network. Ugh.
researching varisous forums...multiple handset manufacturers, and multiple carriers. Google has been blaming Sprint, but I also see similar posts on Virgin Mobile and (at least one mention of...) Verizon.

HTC Evo 4G

For me it works fine on 3g and wifi, but 4g is broken. "WAITING FOR NETWORK" is all it says. Been on the same Rom for the last 4 months. So Yea this is definitely not the phones.
update: I uninstalled all updates for the google play app and it downloaded perfectly. Now I honestly can't see how this isn't anything other than a bad update from google.
update: however this only works once per app since the market updates and then when the next app starts Bam! Waiting for network.

Guys try uninstalling the updates as one of you mentioned but also go into system/app and delete MarketUpdater.apk. Copy it to your sdcard somewhere first. And after deleting reboot.
I don't have 4g and never used it but if your looking to use a version of Play Store that won't update that's the way to do it.

You can post on the Sprint forum, either start your own thread or post in an existing one:

They say no one from Sprint actually reads or cares about their user forums.
But at very least it gets the message out that there is a real problem.

I'm not sure if there is a fix for this. Update the PRL and your profile. If the problem is still occurring it may just be a problem with the service itself.
There are multiple threads on this here in this section.. go into settings, click on mobile network, and change CDMA/LTE to just CDMA and see if that helps, I have had the same issue but haven't had the chance to test this out yet
