Google Maps 4.0

Has anyone tried out the new GMAPS 4.0 on their device? Has anyone got it to work when using GPS? I installed it and everytime I click on Use GPS it crashes the application. This use to happen to my old I910 with version 3.32 and not sure why.

Version 4.0 works perfect on mine and I get a quick lock on GPS. Maybe you should try reloading it.

i get a gps satellite lock inside in under thirty seconds with 4.0

I had this same issue as well. I had to revert back to v3.2.1 to use the app.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times and the same result. I also reverted back to an older version.

wow, I just got my i-920 omnia2 about 4 weeks ago and it was about 3 weeks ago I downloaded and installed google maps. it is version 3.3.0. when did they come out with version 4? the one I have works fine. takes a while to acquire satellites. I just tried out that latitude yesterday. very cool thing, but it didn't work. but the phone that I was "tracking" had latidute running then "exit". it asks if you want to still send location info and yes was selected. per google, when in this mode it sends signal based on cell tower info--does this to preserve battery life since if the gps were on constantly and sending signal if would drain it. cell tower info not as accurate. but it didn't work at all. showed essentially no movement. was going to try to leave google maps open and thus sending gps info to see if it worked that way.
oh, to original poster--didn't the i910 have gps locked so you couldn't use it except for verizon stuff?

The GPS on the I910 was unlocked. I used IGO8 as well as GOOGLE MAPS and BING.

GPS
I have the i920 and have installed the google4 with no problems. The gps was locked within one minute, didn't time it but was within 10 meters.

Just installed Google Maps 4.0 yesterday -- works AWESOME on my i920, gps lock within 30 seconds when outside. Unfortunately still no navigation like they have on the newer android devices (grr, google bastadz!) but it most certainly does not crash.
What ROM are you using, and did you uninstall the older version manually before installing the new one? Also try using SKTools' uninstaller -- that will also scan for left behind registry keys \ temp\cache files and remove them.

Well I installed the newest version which is 4.1 with the voice command and it works great.

Working great
I would make sure you have the version available for the windows 6.5. Other than that I can't think of anything that would cause this problem besides the fact you don't have the GPS turned on for both the phone and the program.

Rogers Gingerbread 2.3.3 Bug Report Thread

My fellow Canadians...
I have noticed a number of issues with the latest official firmware for the Rogers captivate. I think it would be a good idea to put them all in one place and try to start figuring out what common issues exist and perhaps we can address them all at once. Please state the issue, when it seems to happen, and what if any modifications you have made to your software setup. Maybe someone will notice a pattern or trend and we can get them resolved.
Thanks!

One major issue I have noticed is when updating apps through the 3.1.5 market. It seems to only happen when I am updating an app, not when I am installing a new app:
Sorry!
The application TwLauncher(process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
At which point I have to force close it.
Also, I have experienced random shut downs, I will click the power/screen lock button to unlock the phone, and it seems the phone has shut itself off. If you hold down the power button it boots normally.
Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Did you try a factory reset after you updated?

Voice for Swype
The voice command for Swype doesn't work.......

1. Speed dial no longer works. Says 'USSD code running' then closes and gives message 'unknown application'
2. GPS has stopped working completely.

As far as the launcher crashes, I don't use touchwiz. I do use Launcher Pro. It does seem to crash every so often. I've replaced all my widgets because I've read somewhere that this might help.
No random shutdowns here.
I talked to a samsung technical support rep and his captivate's swype voice input didn't work either.

GPS works perfectly on mine captivate 2.3.3 and I get better reception and locking time. But GPS will stop working if you flashed a custom Kernel on it! I know that because I tried it and GPS wasn't working when I had a custom Kernel, had to flash back the stock kernel.
Edit: I just tried Speed dial and it's working perfectly, I think there is something wrong on your phone.

I also don't have any issues with the GPS or Speed Dial. My only mod was rooting with the FUGU kernel.

I hadn't thought of that; I wonder if I'll lose my root? Come to think of it, I wonder if that's causing the launcher crashes...

Got the phone from Rogers with 2.1 then upgraded to 2.2 then to 2.3.3 (all done through Kies. GPS was ok but spotty on 2.1 and much better with Froyo but hoped Gingerbread would bring more improvement.
I've tested it since Rogers released 2.3.3 and on a few occasions I've even gone to the roof of my building on a clear day and waited for 45mins!! and nothing! Not lock then lose it but NOTHING! Speed dial I can live without but I actually use the GPS quite a bit.
Since upgrading I've done a factory reset 4 times and even sent it in for repair, which came back saying "upgraded SW and factory reset" which fixed nothing.
I've just rooted (just root nothing else) and I've tried to do use the gps code but I can't even get into that!!
What can I do at this point?

Yeah, with the 2.3.3 you can't access the gps setting by entering the code, because everything you enter the code *#*#3214789650#*#*, you'll get a message saying "Service mode has crashes blablaba...". The only that I found to bypass that was to go to market and install the app "Anycut" then launch it, select New Shortcut, Activity then choose Angry gps.
I'll look up what's the problem that causing you not to get a good gps signal.

Man I was going nuts trying that gps code. Googled and searched this forum and everything pointed to that code. Was ready to toss my phone off the roof!
Was reading these forums for the past couple weeks learning how to root/flash (just rooted today actually) to get gps working.
I'm guessing I might have to try flashing it again with the stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133 but gotta do some more reading before attempting it.

I use an app called GPS Status from the market. There, in the menu under 'tools', you can 'manage A-GPS state and wipe the location info the GPS has back to scratch. Then download the assistance data from the internet. This worked well for me and I do it from time to time to keep things current.

How long have you had the phone? The random shut downs is not a ROM issue. I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem. It was acknowledged by Samsung. There is even a list of effected builds. I am sure you could find the build numbers with a little search. I had this problem when I first got the phone last December but had Rogers replace it. If it is the same problem, I think you will notice that the sleep of death only occurs when the battery is like above 85% or somthing like that. It has been a while so I can't exactly remember.

I can't seem to get the firmware actually downloaded. I'm going through kies and it recognizes my phone, and recognizes that I need to upgrade, starts downloading the upgrade and at 12% it disconnects. I have two screen shots here that show what I am talking about.
Any ideas?

Tried this the entire day and still nothing. I know it's kinda cloudy out today but still nothing.

i found 2.3.3 very slow, and poorly built. no voice button in swype PEEVED me off.i was originally making my custom canadian rom off Kh2 (rogers 2.3.3) but i dropped that project and released a canadianized/rogersized KJ3 (2.3.5).
one of the best roms in the dev section. and will be updated by the end of the week with the theming all included. the pic in my sig is a link to the rom if you havent seen EFFIN EH!

Unable to update my Captivate
My captivate is still 2.2 and while connecting to Kies it says this version of the device cannot be updated.
Current version shows PDA: JL1/phone: JL1/CSC: JL1 (xxx).
I had rooted via Super one click and I can see Superuser installed. I havent used it for any purpose.
I removed my external SD card and did factory reset. No luck.

[Q] I discovered a bug? Clock out of sync with wifi.

Hi everyone,
I guess I. Have discovered a bug.
First I fought it is a bug on insertion 5.4.1 then I have full wiped and flashed ARHD 6.5.1. When I'm associated to wireless and leave my phone in standby the clock is getting out of sync. I've tried several tests to reproduce the out of sync. Im using Leedroid tweaks v4 lite with ultrasmooth Rosie applied. But it has nothing to do with rosie either. I can reproduce the problem on stock rosie too. On mobile data the problem does not happen only on wifi. It is happening on both roms so maybe it is a bug in the base? You need to leave your phone to sleep for a few minutes and unlock and check the clock accuracy. If the screen stays on and you are using it, it will not happen.
Firmware 3.32
Can someone test and confirm this please?

You mean when you come out of standby, and the clock flips? That's a "feature" of Sense. It's to show that its pretty.

No my friend, I mean the system time/clock is not accurate anymore it is behind the actual time. Not that simple

Make a screenshot please

It's probably a bug in the new base. I've noticed my time falling behind and I have mobile data always on.
I ended up syncing time with network once, then unchecking the network sync to let the internal clock handle the timing. Lame workaround, but it's all I could think of for now.
Current setup is InsertCoin 5.1.1, 3.32 firmware, manually desensed, newest radio and RIL, tmous network.
/edit
No LeeDroid tweaks or Rosie mods here. Well, no Rosie period haha.

How can I show you this problem with a screen shot lol You wouldn't be able to know that the clock/time is out of sync. If I will have time I will post a video there you could see it.
Did you tried to reproduce this on your phone?

Hi rawrfische,
I've used that workaround earlier too, thxs for sharing anyway.
I just wanted to let others know about this problem, maybe dev's and/or HTC (which is watching this forums like any other vendor) can make a fix out of it.
A Question on your edit; did you mean you were using Leedroid tweaks as well and get rid of it and the issue was gone? Or did you mean that in your opinion this has nothing to do with it?
Thanks again..

Update on issue;
This is not happening on all wireless network. I'm using a cable connection at home and somehow it is related to this type of Modem.
Another workarround is to change the wireless sleep profile to "When scrren off" so the clock will sync to the correct time when the device is in sleep as it will be disconnected from wifi. Maybe this will help others with this kind of strange behavior on some sort of Wi-Fi Modems.

I've been having the same problem, the total offset for a day can get as high as 10 minutes!!!!
Same problem o Darkforest and Leedroid ROM's, now I've installed an app called ClockSync an set to sync every hour, the average offset per hour is 20secs.
Actually this thing is very annoying, hope it gets fixed on new releases.

GPS really messed up

The problem I have is that sometimes GPS will not get a lock even after an hour or more. Other times it will lock on to 9 or 10 satellites in 3 or 4 seconds. I installed GPS status & tools and when I can't get a lock it shows all the satellites stacked one on top of the other located at the tip of the North arrow - I attached a screen shot to show what I'm talking about.
I tried putting the phone in airplane mode and rebooting and GPS seems to to work, but I'm still testing since the error is intermittent.
I was getting the error before upgrading to ICS 4.03 and thought the new software might correct the issue, but it's still there.

Try Faster Fix in the market. Make sure that the location you're in is set to the location that you live at.
I used to have issues where roms would have a European base and I would have to download the North America GPS config for it to work. Haven't had those issues since Gingerbread, but it's worth a shot.

I've tried faster fix in the past and all it does is modify the gps.conf file and I still had the issue. Since I still have the problem after updating to ICS 4.03 I'm beginning to think it's HW related. Just wonder if anyone else has seen this and what they did to correct the problem - new phone?

At this point, especially considering you had the issue before the update, its probably hardware related. You could open it up to see if there are any loose connections, but other than that I'm not sure.
Sorry about grammer, posted from phone.

try cleaning the contacts with rubbing alcohol and a qtip. also make sure the contacts are good as well.

WLAN instable and slow since B389 Update

Yesterday I updated my Honor 8 via the Systemupdate Menu. Since the Update I am struggling with WLAN Problems.
I never disconnect from the network but every minute or so the connection gets super slow. Like 100Bits/Second slow.
This does not only happen at my home network but also at work. I tried resetting the network settings but nothing changed... I am clueless at this point on what to do.
Any help is appreciated a lot!
Thanks, Jonny

Other devices work fine. Gonna do a factory reset now.

The factory reset might have fixed it. Works fine at the moment Thanks

Nevermind the probem is still there. I reinstalled my apps and now have the same problem. Also i noticed that the Wlan Symbol goes from full connectivity to 0 and vice versa all the time..

How can I check which App causes the problem? When i reboot in save mode I can't find a way to test the connection. Could switching the main storage path to a SD be the cause in any way?
Because this time the problem started occuring again once I rebooted after switching this setting.

I resetted the phone and just installed Twitch to have a constant live stream running to be able to see when the problem occurs. The problem still happens every few minutes.

I now deinstalled Twitch and installed the Ookla Speedtest and the problem comes up from time to time again. I also deinstalled every preinstalled app after the reset. So i am pretty sure that apps are not the problem..
