I don't know if this thread should go into the Nexus One forum as it's the only device that officially has froyo support, but I have an ATT Nexus One that was updated the other day with the official finalized Froyo build (FRF85B). When using the Maps app (and in turn the Navigation application as well) today, I noticed some very poor performance as the application is very slow and isn't loading mapping data. Multiple times, I received the error message "Data connection loss, retrying..." which I had never received before. Searching for locations/POI's seemingly took forever and the mapping data once found was slow. In Navigation, the computerized TTS speaks "Data connection lost" and stalls at the "getting directions" dialog. Please note that all this was done while using my own wifi connection. I don't think that the Maps application was updated with the Froyo release.
Anyone else having this problem?
EDIT: btw, Maps version is 4.3, which i guess was recently updated. now i'm not sure whether it's related to Froyo or just this recent update. However, I did have no issues with the application over the weekend, before the Froyo update.
Gotta say, I'm having some issues too. I kept getting data loss errors when I have full Edge signal when using Navigation. Luckily by this point I knew where I was driving.
Also, I use the "popular categories" lab, and when i press search, it does nothing. If I deactivate the lab, close Maps with ATK, and restart, the search button will work as normal. But if I try to activate popular categories again, it stops working again. I reverted the version by "uninstalling all updates", and tried it. Worked fine.
I just upgraded to 4.3 again. Search button with the popular categories lab works A-OK. Won't know for sure if it helped the data connection issue until I use it in a RW scenario.
Just look into logcat. Such behavior is typical for GM, when it gets some exceptions.

Hi All,
I've rooted my phone and installed the JF1.43 modified firmware, and also replaced the stock bootloader with hardSPL. Everything worked exactly like the instructions, and I'm very happy and grateful with the results. I notice two issues:
1. Applications that are used recently, but not the last application used, sometimes crash when I bring the phone out of sleep. I get a notification that this or that application has crashed, with the option to Close or Wait. It doesn't happen every time, or in any reproducible way, as near as I can tell.
2. The "T-mobile Hotspot" application appears to be broken. It does not connect when I'm in range of a t-mob hotspot, and the nearby hotspot location search feature is broken; it dumps me out to a search in the browser.
Has anyone else experienced these issues? They're not dealbreakers at all, but I'd like to get to the bottom of them. Is there a log file that will tell me what's happening when the applications crash?
Thanks for the help, and the great work you're doing here.
I haven't experienced #1 and #2 has never worked for me at a TMO hotspot.
I have experienced the forced close of apps, but not too often.
I'm running RC33 and 1.42 (couldn't install 1.43 for some reason, something about not able to validate files).
And if any consolation, T-Mobile Hotspot app never worked for me, even before the hacking.
Sounds like you need to perform a wipe. Should fix everything.
Well, except the hotspot app, that never worked.
Its always a good idea to wipe when you change builds.
i manually switched up some settings for the gps in my samsung captivate which helped improve my gps functions (for some reason it stopped working as efficiently as it was), and im also using skyhook also.
in google navigation, its having problem gathering directions to where i want to go, but it locates me flawlessly and faiirly quickly. Except when i requested directions from my house to my university, it got stuck at gathering directions for a while. In the background it shows a highlighted root, but continues to say 'getting directions'. As soon as i turned on wifi or 3g, bam, got the necessary data and my directions. I want my gps to function without the use of wifi or 3g support though, what is going on here? anyone else having this problem?
edit: i forgot to add that i installed the latest version of google maps, still does not work.
Hi there,
I installed stock ICS (rooted) on my TF101. Now whenever I open Maps, it will close after a few moments. No FC, no message, just disappears as if I had clicked on the "Home" button - but when I restart Maps, the previous state is gone.
Anyone have any ideas why this happens and more importantly how to fix it?
TIA

Try clearing data for Map app
Sorry, I forgot to specify that I tried that already - I usually do when I have problems
I am using the brut version.. and in there is a flashable zip that has a script in it that goes through and clears out junk..
Same thing for me on ICS upgrade.had maps FC.. used this..right as rain now..

Start on last post and workback for a link..

I changed the ROM to Revolver 4.0 Beta and it seems to work now. Still, very strange...
I was experiencing this problem too. A similar thing was happening with Gmail. Completely stock, unrooted ICS TF101.
I found a bandaid for both but I am not sure which of the steps I took are actually helpful. Anyway:
1. Cleared data and cache in both apps.
2a. For Gmail, I turned off pre-fetch attachments while on WiFi AND the labs setting that enables message indexing.
2b. For Maps, I turned on the labs setting to pre-cache areas and then cached the entirety of Los Angeles (which is where I live).
3. Reboot.
The apps still crash a few seconds after opening occasionally but a reboot gets things back to normal for a day or so. Hopefully the coming ICS patch fixes these issues because it was making both Gmail and Maps basically unusable.
On my TF, I fixed the maps closing thing by enabling "Force hardware acceleration" in the developer settings (System settings, not map settings).
But knowing how ICS behaves, it may only work for me. I am starting to suspect that every person here at the forums may have a different ICS version that fails at different points, just to have us entertained until asus finishes the real ICS update. It may even be a sociological experiment, aiming to understand how new superstitions are made.
I too had this problem with the maps FC'ing. For me, it looked like it had more to do with GPS status. It seemed like if maps couldn't get an immediate lock on the location, it would FC. I fixed this problem by installing a GPS keep-alive app. Note that if you keep the keep-alive app on all the time, it will really do a number on your battery. Use it only when you need it.
I use Google Maps for navigation to and from work, and lately I've been getting a periodic situation where the turn-by-turn directions stop, and all I get is "Turn Right" or "Stay Straight" instead of normal "In 800 feet, turn right on Main Street"...
I've been able to temp fix it by going into Settings, Location, Maps, and toggling Location Services and Location History off and on (with a reboot for good measure), but it's super-annoying and I can't pinpoint when it will work properly and when it won't. Sometimes it works just fine in the morning but quits working properly in the evening of the same day. No changes made in the interim that might cause it.
Anyone see this and know a fix? I'm on Mahdi ROM latest version with latest version of Maps. Maps version doesn't seem to matter, it happened on an older version and then the most recent version again this evening.

Same issue on stock. I searched it up and it seems that you have to reinstall the GoogleTTS.apk. I tried that and have the same issue.
Try a different tts app

Suggestions? I don't think its a text to speech issue, it seems maps goes into short mode or dummy mode...

I have the same issue. On stock Android (4.4.2), intermittent lack of spoken street names. I usually resolve by going in to the text to speech settings and playing the sample. Once I do that, everything seems fine.
Which I had a better idea what was causing TTS to occasionally go sideways so I could fix the root instead of this silly smack-upside-the-head intervention.
This is still happening for me. I'll check the tts settings next time.

Ever since I upgraded OTA for marshmallow (i'm bone stock) I've had "connection" issues with multiple apps, regardless if i'm on wifi or 3g/4g.
The google sound search app (whats this song) says "you seem to be offline. Retry?
Google Voice when used pops up the screen saying "offline. check your connection" it does this too when I say "call x cell phone" unless i say "make a call first".
gmail app push notifications are non-existent. I don't email 80%+ of the time unless I manually sync.
Facebook app will constantly think I have no internet connectivity. I have to force updates which rarely works, or quit out of the app and reload.
Playstore does the same from time to time, giving messages about have no connection and to check it.
Voicemail will constantly give me errors: an error occurred, unable to connect to voicemail/visual voicemail. Paraphrasing here.
4 days ago I backed up everything over sftp to my computer and did a factory reset. This seemed to help for a little bit. The apps i've described above acted more normal, but since yesterday I'm having all the same issues again. I've never had any issue like this prior to the marshmallow update. Prior this i went into the settings and did a full reset of all network settings under ireless Controls or Wireless & Networks. that didn't help either

no system updates available. What gives, and what else can I provide? Should I report these as bugs to google/verizon?
I also have issues with apps like i heart radio, pandora, after my upgrade, it'll play 1 song or not at all and then after one song it closes out. I tried uninstalling, restarting the phone and then reinstalling but the same issues, and tis with all my audio streaming,.. help!?!?
I've been having the same issues as OP, as well as with Facebook. I'll have to close it out 5 or 6 times before it'll give me the latest posts. It keeps reverting back to May 6 and when opening comments get a message that i'm not connected even though i'm web browsing just fine. Seems to be an issue with the OS and apps.
The Facebook app is junk and notoriously buggy so that maybe your Facebook issue. On top of that its a huge memory hog and might as well be classified as spyware with it's endless permissions (and yes they do monitor you and EVERYTHING you do via the app for "advertising and product placement" purposes). I suggest ditching the app and just access Facebook via web browser. That alone has solved alot of issues for alot of people I know, even issues that seem unrelated to Facebook. Its supprising how miserably coded the Facebook app is and how many problems it is the source of, especially given it's such a large corporation. As for the other issues listed, I personally experience none of them on my Verizon S6. I stream music and video just fine on youtube, pandora and spotify. No connectivity issues... ever. Not with voicemail, google sound search, gmail, play store or any other apps. Do you have a task killer or other "battery optimizing" app that is turning off your wifi and/or mobile data without your knowledge. Thats my only thought.
Settings > Battery > More > Optimize Battery Usage.
Uncheck any apps that are having the problem and see if that helps
