New Maps? - HTC Rezound

Anyone received the update for Maps on stock os? I am showing that I'm up to date with version 6 but think version 7 is out.

I read somewhere that they are rolling it out slowly to everyone. Actually it mentions that in the Play store for Google maps.

Had it on my work phone, bone stock 4.5.605.14 OTA ROM with lots of stuff disabled... It works, but it is very slow, laggy, and jittery, but aside from that, lots of functionality seems gone or more difficult to use, such as the Measure Lab add-in is gone that I used frequently, in fact all Lab add-ins are gone. I removed it and side-loaded version 6.14.4 back in and everything was wonderful again.

Jitters on new maps
Some, if not everyone, of us have seen the jumping of the screen in the new maps. I have found that if you use Expanded Desktop (if your ROM supports it) the map jumping goes away. Objects that overlay on the screen, like the search, or addresses, etc...seems to have a flutter, but the map itself does not jump around.
i thought of trying this because I noticed that when the screen jumps, it would move just about the that same amount as the size of the status bar. Other times the map would show through the status bar, so without the status bar, things work much better. Not a fix, but workaround if you do not want to downgrade.
Not sure if this is helpful to anyone with the mindset and skills to dig deeper, but wanted to share.

I'm on the latest Infection with that maps release. I had to pick up my wife's sister on my way home from work and she was in a part of town that I don't know so I had to use maps. It was jumping around like crazy. So I hit home button the went into developer settings and disables hw overlays. It instantly stopped jumping around during that session. At end though when I was going through menu it started acting weird. But the twenty minutes I was using the navigation it was fine. Oh and I heard about the hw overlay fix somewhere in the infection thread I believe.

Yeah it's jittery on the s3 using cm 10.1 nightlies gg. Google fail.

Google has a new version. 7/22 apparently on the Play Store. Is it still giving you guys problems on CM?

Yea still jumps around. Maps it better with the new update but navigation is just as bad. Still going to use the previous version till it improves.

OK... I'm gonna backtrack here a bit, I may have gotten my phones confused with Maps. I can't find ANY apk that works in stock ICS for 7.x Maps, I may have tested it on my Rez running JB with Infected Rezound ROM and not the stock one, sorry, my bad.

[VIDEO] Google Currents App for Android on the HP Touchpad Tablet

Google Currents is the new big thing from Google. It allows you to view your favorite news and media pages in a magazine style format. This runs great on Android tablets, especially the HP Touchpad! Check it out:
On the Android Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.currents
Saw this on Android Central, and grabbed it right away.
Ill be honest, I've been kinda neglecting my TP lately. After loading Currents and getting it set up, I didn't want to put it down.
This feels like exactly what the tablets were meant for.
Go Google!

Seems like some people are having issues, while others are not. Be sure to post which ROM or build version you are running so we might be able to get a handle on this.
Wow, gotta get this with all the reading and tab browsing I do. Thanks for sharing.
No rss, no ability to click links, not for me.

I'm on XRON B1.3 but moved to that from Alpha3 to see if it'd fix the problem I was having given that there have been some fixes in XRON since the latest core CM7. In both cases Currents locks up for me until I get the "Not responding. Wait/Force Close/Report" dialog. I can wait as many times as I want, but it doesn't come back. If I FC then it restarts Currents but it happens again shortly after browsing around.
I think I've seen the same behavior in Google Reader which I have installed to support the Android Pro Google Reader widget, though not nearly as frequently.
I've performed a completely clean reinstall (wipe system and data in addition to cache), and I've done the whole fix permissions and wipe Dalvik/cache partition thing repeatedly.
I'm really impressed by Currents (I also run it on my iPhone and Nook Color) and think it really makes the 10" tablet profile shine! I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why it's locking up frequently on the TP.
I had the force closing problems in alpha 3 but after I switched to alpha 2 everything seems to be working fine.
Sent from my HP Touchpad using XDA App
using cm7 a3 and i'm getting a lot of force closes recently. it seems to be sporadic since i didn't get them at until the other day. i'm patient with the force closes since i'm really just waiting for ICS.
I'm currently using alpha 2.1 and have not had a force close on this app yet.
seems to work perfectly for me
I'm getting FCs on Currents constantly to the point where its almost unuseable. I was alpha 2, in place upgrade to alpha 3. Everything else seems stable.

Long press voice search and SoundHound

Yo, recently got a new HTC Amaze handset and am trying to figure out how to set long press search to launch SoundHound. My last HTC Amaze automatically made SoundHound a quicklaunch option but can't seem to get this working on my new device.
Thanks!

They probably removed the option like many other options in the ICS update.

I can confirm longpressing search can pull up soundhound among other things.. when you longpress it currently, what happens? Were you using gingerbread last time it works, and are you on stock ICS now?
I have no idea if it worked when I was on stock, I have been using custom roms like energy rom for a long time now.. once definite difference between stock and most roms, we don't have an area in system settings to change app associations like there was on stock- this might be because they removed the APK that deals with app associations.
Or are you using soundhound free or paid? I am on paid, and maybe they made that a paid feature?(I bought when it was 10 cents on the market, lol)

Sorry, I was so distracted by the random girl toes by your post.. what is u/g? And upon thinking about it, the long press of search is one of the few features they might add with the paid version, I'm pretty sure free was mostly functional, but I don't think that would be included on the free version..
And I see you only have three posts, so I'm assuming you are somewhat new to the amaze- if so, welcome to the amaze forums

My SoundHound JUST started coming up in the sound search! The only thing different about my phone now is that I installed Handcen SMS...I tried to do a voice search on Google today and noticed that Handcent, QR Code Reader, and SoundHound all showed up along with Voice Search for once.
I'm pretty sure there's no rhyme or reason to this, but now it seems to be working fine and I didn't have to u/g to get it working either...but prob still will anyhoo...

[Q] engadget force closeing before opening

Wondering if anyone is having issues with engadget force closing on new jellybean base for EVO LTE? I have tried mean bean and super jelly roms with clean installs and the app downloaded from the market. I have also tried a back up of a known working version from meanrom ics. Notta. Getting some other random force closings from other apps too. Any ideas would be helpful
Same issues here probably a jelly bean issue not sure.

Just check the reviews on the market and sort them to just show Evo reviews Mine is in there somewhere... The mobile version of their website is pretty sweet though so just bookmark it till its fixed. Or use the Google Currents app. I like it a lot.

gps question for those running cm10 1-13-13 nightly or stable build

simple question for anyone running the stable build or the newest nightly of cm10...does gps (navigation work). i had jellybam and it was fantastic for me, but when i tried navigation it would work for 1 minute, then freeze and crash (same thing happened with telenav). so i had to come to sense, but sense is annoying me because every time you switch between apps, it has to reload the app when you open it back up.
so if your navigation is working for you, please let me know, im interested in running cm10 as my daily driver.

I'm not currently running it, but I was and had no issues with gps which I use regularly.. From what I understand if u have any issues all u have to do is back up cm10, flash a sense rom and make sure u have a good gps lock, restore cm10 backup and should be good to go.. Good luck and enjoy your super speedy rom..

Did you try clearing the GPS settings through the dialer on a sense rom?
You'll need your msl # to do it. I'm also not sure of the dialer code. You'd have to look it up.

Ain't nobody got time for that
If one was using the stock ROM but had it rooted, updating would presumably deroot the device, right? Or would the update fail?
I meant Q-slide was suppose to be working with other apps, like the whole browser not just certain videos, and it was suppose to work with other apps natively. In the notification bar there was suppose to be a Q-slide bar under the brightness bar and you could select apps to play over your current app.

Dude I NEVER had that option since I took the phone out the box at the AT&T store. You're saying you had that to begin with? I find that very odd....
So I did some searching around to see exactly what Q Slide is SUPPOSED to be and I think you must have this feature confused with something else or another phone all together. Even on various videos and LG's own website, Q Slide is used to watch VIDEOS and use apps at the same time. It says absolutely nothing about having 2 different apps on top of each other at the same time. I think you are confusing yourself mate.
