Google Navigation Crashes. - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm on TeamEOS stable 1.0.0, but this problem have been for some time.
I can start google navigation and write a search destination.
But as soon as the routing starts 'logo in the middle appear' it stops with maps has closed.
Any pointers ?

I´m having this problem too, it Works Perfect till the GPS Satellite connect , the Maps close. this happen till I start using Team EOS Build that was the 17 Know I´m using 22 and still not Workin.
Motorola Xoom MZ605 with Teams EOS utms 22 GApps 10.5

i've tried to clear the cache for the navigation program, but i don't even find it in the app list.
I find map, and can clear the cache, but that does not change anything.
Used Wingray before Everest, and it worked perfect there.
Any pointers is apriciated.

I Just update my Google maps to the last version 6.2.0, and this Crash just stop occurring
So the problem wasn´t the Team EOS Build After all, but an incompatibility of Google Maps to the ICS.
So Just Update it

I used to get this on my Galaxy Nexus.
If I started Navigation through Maps (directions) and then chose Navigation, everything would work fine.
I think a recent update fixed this.

You are absolutly right, it is fixed in the latest update.
Thank's for letting me know...

Navigation force closing with Google maps update?

I just wanted a few people to check something out for me. If you have the latest Google maps update can you go into navigation without it force closing?
I ask because I think there is an issue with the gm update. I make a rom for the HTC view and one of my users reported that for the past two versions of my rom navigation would force close every time. So what I did was flash an older version of my rom and sure enough navigation worked. So I go into the market, update maps and then navigation starts force closing on me. I uninstall the update and it started working fine again. So I flash a newer version of my rom that has the new maps included and confirmed it was force closing, I pushed the older version of maps over and it started working. So I then picked up my tf and fired up navigation, it ran fine. I then updated it to the latest version of maps and guess what? Navigation started force closing on me. So I'm pretty sure there is an issue with the update that is affecting hc devices so I'm just trying to confirm it (it works fine on my phone after the update) so can anyone just check to see if you can reproduce it? Thanks

Same on my TF101. Navigation force closes with latest Maps. Uninstall map updates and Navigation works fine.
Jerdog discovered something. If you open navigation through the app drawer icon, it will force close. If you access navigation through the Google Maps app, it works fine.

Can confirm this behavior for Motorola Defy on CM7.1 Stable. I don't use navigation on my transformer due to having the wifi only model.
Did you come to any solution besides using Navigation via Maps only?
It's not Transformer related, the same bug exists since the last update on my Galaxy Tab 10.1. According to the stack submitted with the bug report, it seems to be a problem with a function related to fit the activity to the screen size. All android tablets are possibly suffering under this force close.
It's broken on my TF101 but fine on my Motorola Atrix, so that's consistent with your theory.
i'm having the same issue, any chance they are working on a fix?
Just uninstall the update if you need to have it working now. I also disabled auto-updates so it wouldn't break again. I'll check again later after Google maps has been updated on my Atrix.
There's an update today that fixed the FC problems
fixed
Yes, the update fixed it for me as well.
I had the same problem on my Nexus S with ICS 4.0.3. The Navigation was force closing even when going into it through Maps. Uninstalling the maps updates helped and now it works again. Thanks for the advices found here!
Do you know if there's any official news on this issue? Haven't seen any...

[Q] CM10 unstable gps / data issues

Hello,
I have been installing nightlies for a few months now and just yesterday I flashed the new stable CM10 ROM. Ever since flashing this ROM, I have been having issues with GPS and mobile data dropping frequently. I have not noticed any issues with WiFi.
I am currently on hboot 1.09...does that need to be updated separately?
Any help is appreciated.
Different ROMs have different issues. Don't update your phone/hboot 1.09 is where you want to be. If you've been dirty flashing try a clean! If that doesn't work try to find a stable release/ROM.
Sent from my pillow.
Thanks for the feedback. I did a clean flash and am experiencing the same gps / data issues. What radio is the most stable / recommend to flash? Prior to flashing the stable ROM I was using AT&T 2.20 with no issues.
I have not flashed a specific radio since doing clean flash of the stable ROM...

I'm having the same issues too, from a clean install of the stable version. Tried the 2.40 and 2.41 radios and also updating to the latest nightly but nothing has fixed it. Here's a link to it in the issues list: http://code.google.com/p/cm9-msm8960/issues/detail?id=145 . Star it and maybe we'll have a fix soon!
Thanks for the link. I've added a comment to the thread. Is there a specific way to 'star' it?

I'm having the same issues too. Data and gps dropouts and they seem connected to the wifi. For example if the wifi can't connect, eventually the data will too. It also doesn't seem to be able to maintain a steady signal when driving
Same issue here. Tried several clean installs of stable, nightly 1114, nightly 1116. Issue persist.

11/26 Nightly--still have issues with GPS
Have tried several clean installs with different nightlies and I still get the same GPS issue. It always happens with Navigation...but not Maps. It sometimes happens with Foursquare when GPS is activated for a check-in, but not all the time. I also installed the 2.20 radio and that did not change anything, in fact...my probelm seemed to get worse.
I have also noticed that after a fresh install without a reboot, GPS works perfectly and there is no drop. After I reboot, then it fails with Navgiation, but I had also installed Foursquare every time before this so I am wondering if Foursquare might be the culprit and is somehow dicking with the GPS/radio files (seems unlikely..but......)
My test today will be:
--Fresh install of 11/26 Nightly
--Only Maps installed...no other third party apps (expcet Gapps of course)
--No reboot
--Will test Navigation while driving home
--Perform reboot
--Will test navigation several more times
--If no fail, will install Foursquare and test
--If fail, I give up and will leave it to a better mind than mine

I'm having the same issues, occasionally with the "Restricted Access Changed" Messages. It occurs particularly when I use the Speedtest.net app. I think I've narrowed it down to tower-based location services. Turn these off (System Settings-> Location access) and see if you still get the network crashes. I haven't for some while now, yet it will almost instantly crash once I turn them back on.
Testing reveals what everyone is already saying
All my testing has validated what everyone is saying at this point: it is related to the Location Serices and likely related to LTE which is why not everyone is having the issue. I am on the 20122110 CM10 Nightly and the problem still exists for me. I see that a fix has been found by the Nocturnal Team..hopefully they will share and it will get rolled in.
No luck with Nocturnal ROM either
I just wiped my phone and flashed the Nocturnal AOKP ROM and I am still experiencing the issue. This ROM is supposed to have this fixed according to the changelog. Anyone have any ideas at this point?? Other than the work-around already given??
yup I just made a thread about it. I've tried Nocturnal's ROM, King Kang, CM10, JELLYBAM, and all have the GPS/data drop. I deliver pizzas so they are all unusable since I need my gps/navigation.
I recommend using bpear's liquidsmooth ROM if you can find it. it's stable and everything works. It's called RebelMOD-20121110-Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC8-evita.zip. I just re-uploaded it here because I couldn't find it anywhere.
Apparently it was fixed in Nocturnal's ROM and crept back in....or maybe they thought they had it fixed but really did not.
I will look at the ROM you posted. Thanks!

One thing I have noticed, which is very odd is if I update with a new Nightly (or just re-install the nightly I am on) everything works fine....UNTIL I REBOOT...then it goes to pot..so one of my solutions is to just not reboot after doing a nightly....seems to keep me going...but I would like to have this issue resolved
Scratch that last comment about re-flashing a nightly and not having it fail...eventually it does fail even if I do not reboot.
Thanks

Thanks for the tip,
This fixed it for me. if you uncheck 'wif-fi & mobile network location" and check 'GPS satellites" under location access. I was getting the signal drops and the restricted access error depending on where in the country i was. I believe it is a conflict between the LTE radio (which you cant disable on the htc one x evita) and the gps when used for location services.
Its annoying that it both dont work, but cm10 is worth the hassle. And at least nav and loc services work.
EDIT*** - Never mind. Worked for 24 hours and now doing the same thing. Disregard above. Back to stock, i guess.
I had this problem. I am currently on CM10 nightlies as well. Try flashing the 3.17 radio and disabling LTE, as well as disabling wifi location. Seems to be working for me for the last few days.

[Q] Dead GPS - stock, CM and EOS

Having some difficulties with the GPS on my TF101. I've done complete wipes and installed the latest stock ROM, a CM variant, and EOS 4 w/ Kat kernel.
At each stage, I attempted to get a fix using Google Maps, then with GPS Status. I tried rooted vs unrooted. I tried using the Kat GPS fix, and with the GPS wipe / download in GPS Status -- all to no avail.
The absolute most I ever see is a single, solitary GPS (getting 0/1 in GPS Status). Never enough to locate my position.
Had someone else who bought a TF101 around the same time as me try it as well. He is running the stock firmware, and has the same issues with the GPS.
Is there any obscure fix that someone here knows about that has solved their GPS issues on the Transformer? Anything else I can try? With my Galaxy S3, I get 9 almost immediately, and it goes to 11 within a few seconds. Is it just that the GPS in the Transformer is full of fail?
If it does not work on complete stock, there is a chance your GPS radio is fubar.
I have no idea how to diagnose this, just a thought.
Look at your GPS.conf file and on the net there is the GPS government website I think it is that tells you what servers to use. Maybe you can compare what your file has versus what the site says.
The file dictates what is will do and how it connects. Programs that show your GPS like agps or others on the play store don't actually edit the file so garbage in garbage out.

HTC Sensation - GPS problem - CyanogenMod KitKat

Hi Lads!
I'm experiencing problems with my HTC sensation. I've installed newest ROM and gapps from Albinoman887 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2524961). My GPS works just fine if I'm using WiFi or data network, unfortunately I don't have an internet plan so I can only use WiFi when in range. No matter how long I would wait google maps (I've saved offline map) or Garmin/TomTom wont connect with GPS. I've tried to connect it in not urbanised area,were i wasn't surrounded by building or high trees.I was switching between 'device only' and 'assited with WiFi and network data' but since I don't have internet connection I think it makes no difference. I had this problem as well on - cm-10.1-20130610-Albinoman887-pyramid , but as I had internet plan wasn't bothered about that. Did you face similar problem ? Would you know how to fix that issue ?
Phone spec:
HTC Sensation

Hi Lads,
I would like to add, that RIL is definitely correct (checked by getRIL app)
i have also amend GPS config files, I can't paste the content of the file, as it contains links to outside sources and I'm new user so I'm attaching configuration file.
unfortunately , nothing has changed
I've got an idea but i might be very stupid (please forgive me my ignorance), but I thought that as GPS was working fine on the stock ROM
maybe I could get it and export files responsible for managing GPS (radio files??) and swap them with existing ones on my system ? Or maybe its not worth ? what do you think lads ? I really hope you can help me out with my problem
best regards
Tom

Might be totally ridiculous, but do you have Location enabled? Check under Settings. Forgive me if you already have that enabled.

Hi, thanks for your reply, yeah, location is on , im switching between 'device only' and 'hight accuracy' but since i dont have wifi connection (except home which doesnt make much usage for GPS,unless testing) neither internet plan my (data connection is off) i don't think it makes any difference.
Lads, i still didnt figure out how to fix it, did you experienced similar problems with your devices ? how can i check to be sure that my GPS is def. working ? (it worried me, that while using GPS status i didnt see any satellites and couldn't get my geo. position )
Lads,
Almost 1,3k views and no advice
Please help me
Did you try another ROm like UniRom??? or the new Carbon ROM...
It will be better i think
why don't you download an app from google play sensor tester and see if your gps is working okey? maybe you have hw problem :/
Hi,
Thanks for your advice.
I had it already, as well i downloaded GPS Status (seems to be a bit better than sensor tester). I went out today and GPS Status caught 5 satellites, but couldn't determine my position , after that i've switched to g.maps and after a while, my position on the map was ... my home's address (that's were i used internet for the last time) - two streets from where I was standing, so after that I've switched again to GPS Status and within next 15 minutes couldn't catch any satellites. Have no idea how to fix it....
Hi lads,
So...i fixed it
I'm kinda ashamed after posting so much stuff earlier on, as the problem was with the hardware (had nothing to do with ROM/Kernel/RIL whatsoever), i only realized today (mostly cause I wanted to 'boost' the antenna) but the pin connectors with antenna were bent...yeah....really....i just stuck a small piece of an aluminium foil.
Below is screenshot form GPS Status - form inside my gaff - phone is placed against the window.

Lollipop gps issue with Google maps

I posted this in the forum for the ROM I was using with no response so hopefully I can get one here. I'm currently running candy 5 with stock kernel and gapps.
Ok, let me start by saying I don't think my issue is rom specific as I've seen this behavior on all cm 12 roms. So if I need to send this to Q&A I'd be happy to so.
So I use the app gps status which places a satellite icon on the top left of my status bar when gps (true gps sensor) is in use. Via gps status I get a lock in under 5seconds. Now my issue is this. When I open Google maps, the location indicator comes up but NOT the satellite symbol. In Google maps, it finds my cell tower but NOT my actual location. I let the phone sit for 10 minutes and it never locked. Now when I enter a different address in the search bar and start to navigate, the satellite logo shows up and I have a lock on my starting spot within seconds.
So I decided to try waze just to see if the satellite icon shows up and sure enough it does and gps lock is within seconds. Again you need the app GPS Status and the setting that puts the satellite symbol in the status bar when actual gps sensor is in use.
I tested this with the nexus 10 also on stock rooted lollipop and both the location and satellite symbol appear. I've attached a screen from the GPS status app as well as Google maps so you can see the status bar symbols I'm referring to. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to validate what I'm saying. This time I also installed the app cool too since it shows how man satellites are connected.
Again I want to reiterate gps locks fine when in use, and navigation works just fine as well.... It's just on the main screen of Google maps and only with Google maps that I'm having the issue.
I am so frustrated with this same exact issue! Any other map app find me in seconds. Google maps doesn't find me at all.
Tried faster gps app fix - no change
Uninstall Google maps using TiBU then reinstall - no change
Currently on temasek bacon ROM v 2.0
Sent From Bacon
Exact same problem.
I've tried :
-changing rom (tested 4 lollipop roms) with clean flash
-changing gapps package
-uninstalling maps and reinstalling, cleaning datas
-changing permissions of other apps and allow location only for maps, play services and location services
-changing gps.conf parameters in every possible ways.
For now, with no success.
Gps Status will lock in 3-4sec, but maps won't find my location using gps-only mode. If I switch from GPS status to Maps, it gets the right location for a few seconds.
Anyone has ideas ?
Btw : Gps status won't stay in notification bar when using google maps
---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------
Reverted back to version 6.14 from this thread
You will have to uninstall the newer google maps before installing this version. Use TiBu, or, if it doesn't work, use system app mover to convert it to a normal app, reboot, uninstall it and install the 6.14 version.
With the old version, everything is working properly ! Still looking for a fix for the new version
@thryy pretty much similar steps as mine and I still have the issue. I will try your method of going to older maps version also later on
Sent From Bacon
Could people using cm12 confirm this bug ?
Do you get location on Google maps using gps only ?
Btw : maps 6.14 working great. I May stick with this one
I've had the same issue on every Lollipop ROM, Kernel, and gapps package like everyone else. If I set location to Device Only mode, Maps is completely useless and never gets a lock. If I put it in high accuracy, it gets close by cell tower but not spot on, and its slow and inaccurate while driving. So far, GPS Status seems to help as it autostarts when GPS is requested by other apps, including Google Maps. Once this happens, it gets a lock within seconds.
Seems to be a bug with Google Maps.
Well glad to know I'm not alone...
Anyone on lollipop try the new maps app called "here" it's in beta and actually pretty good. I might give it a try tomorrow to see if gps works with that app. I went back to 44s where everything works but I miss the hell out of 5.0 lol.
Similar problem with Resurrection Remix v5.2.1 (Android 5.0.1), on a Verizon LG G3 (vs985). However, I do not get any GPS signal at all in any app, including GPS Status. This seems to be a widespread problem, anyone come up with a work-around yet? I love Lollipop's UI, but this bug is crippling.
Nokia Here confirmed working. Nice app, I use this instead of gmaps now
Also, old gmaps (see my previous post on this thread) working fine.
However, I would appreciate to know what is causing this strange bug. Could someone ask a dev ? I don't have enough posts to publish in dev section.
Does anyone know if this has been resolved? Will probably give LP another try during the holiday while I'm home and can restore quickly.

I flashed temasek cm12 unofficial 3.2 and no longer have this issue with newest maps update its version 9.2.0 now

Just tried it on my One+ and it's working perfectly. Granted, I know this thread is mainly aimed at CM12, however it could be a LP thing so I wanted to share my experience.
I'm running:
fusionjack's SlimSaber LP build from 2014-12-20 (new one out tonight, haven't flashed yet)
Stock kernel in fusionjack's ROM
TKruzze's PA GApps from 2014-12-18. Full package, just using a "gapps-config.txt" to omit what I don't want.
As you can see, I'm using GPS Status and it fired up immediately when I launched Google Maps. In Google Maps, I get a lock on my location almost instantly. GPS Status gets a fix within 2-3 seconds every time, and sometimes it's locked so quickly there's no display of the time to fix.
Will try that combo today! Ty
Confirmed the slimsaber rom is working as it should. I'll give this a try for a while! Ty @clintb

What ROM were you on initially when you had the problem?
I was on temasek cm12 v2.0 when I had the problem as I said earlier in the thread, but now using same ROM but v 3.3 (used v 3.2 also) I don't have the problem. GPS locks in Google maps almost instantly now.
So either cm12 had the problem fixed, or an update in Google maps fixed it. I did notice Google maps had an update when I came back from holidays. Since other apps were OK in the same ROM v 2.0, I'm thinking it was a Google maps problem that got fixed.
Good to hear that ROM also works, maybe I'll install that to play with as another ROM in multirom if it allows it to install as a secondary ROM.

Again I want to reiterate gps locks fine when in use, and navigation works just fine as well.... It's just on the main screen of Google maps and only with Google maps that I'm having the issue.
