This is my wife's phone. L769, T-Mobile. Unrooted, totally stock and updated.
When she opens Google Maps it works okay. Then she tries to get directions with the GPS on, the phone resets. Every time.
What should be our course of action here?
This issue appears on other maps app?

Help,
I did the new firmware update, rooted the phone, and install Gingerblur on it v1.1. Now the GPS no longer lock on to the satellites with the stock Navigation program. Is anyone else getting this issue after the upgrade or GingerBlur installed?

i had a similar issue which i solved by uninstalling the google maps update. it works great with the older version of maps, but takes much longer to get an accurate lock with the newest version of maps.
i opened the market and looked at my apps and when i select maps it gives me the option to uninstall the update
I am having a similar problem on my non-rooted unlocked AT&T Atrix. Sometimes when I open maps, the GPS icon blinks, then it goes away completely and I get the "can't find your current location" message. I also saw this happen when using navigation. In the middle of navigating, the GPS icon goes away and the app says "gps signal lost". I think there is some kind of bug in maps/gps that is making the GPS turn off.
Hi when I installed 351_15609_00 every time when I use program like google earth, google maps, Aura or any other program that uses the gps my device restarts a few seconds after the program is launched?
This is really stupid and I'll send my device through the window (I'm on last floor)
Any ideas how to fix this?
i got zero issues with the gps on 351. Using google nav, telenav and igo.. no issues here. Locks are made in a second or less and work consistently for hours with a missing a beat... makes me want to still punch samsung in the face for the **** gps I had on my captivate.
It seems my phone is no longer syncing normally as expected. GMail doesn't seem to be pushing email and the built-in EMail app isn't notifying me either. Other random apps aren't syncing properly, either. It happens over both 3G & Wi-Fi. Sometimes restarting will fix for a moment as everything gets synced and notifications pop up for G/EMail. Twitter is about the only app that seems to be working properly.
Also GPS constantly stops working. A restart usually will re-enable it but it keeps failing. Opening Maps or other GPS-enabled apps does not get fix (GPS icon never appears). Even the GPS On/Off toggle does nothing most of the time.
I'm running Eclipse 1.3 on a 2.3.4 kernel with the beautiful ICS theme (Email app NOT themed). No settings were ever changed and checked to be set properly. I've even tried wiping Cache/Davik without success. I want to see if there is anything I can do before trying to Wiping/SBF back to 2.3.4 stock and reflashing.
So i jsut got hte new maps update pushed. Maps worked fine before, now when i have gps enabled on my TP maps will shut down, not even a FC message it jsut goes away. If i turn off GPS, it runs fine.
Anyone else seeing this behavior or do i just have a wonky install?
Update: after a few reboots its working fine now. this Machine is confusing.
Hi folks. Havin an issue with my VZW S4. When i go into an app that uses gps (ie ingress) the gps won't initiate. if i toggle it on and off it turns on and locks immediately. Its done this 3 times now in the past few weeks, i've factory reset twice which fixes it and it just did it again. I've cleared data on ingress, maps and google search, trying to think of anything that uses location. i'm getting tired of setting up my phone again, any ideas? Thanks.
So figured out the issue. Its something with google play services. I went into the location menu and guess i just never noticed that google play services was down in the list of recent apps to use location. When the gps issue starts, if i go in and clear data on google play services, the gps kicks back in in a second or two. So not sure why, but thats the app thats causing it. At least i don't have to do a factory reset anymore when it happens. sigh.
Was this stock Rom, or custom Rom?
