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.
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.

Yes.
Btw this only happens when gps is being used. Not sure if that is the issue raised in the issue log.

I'm still having this issue on the latest nightly... Anyone else?

I am now on the 11/24 nightly and I was still having the GPS issues; however, my GPS now appears to be working fine after flashing the AT&T 2.20 radio.

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.

Hello,
Acouple days ago my GPS decided to stop working. I can no longer get a GPS fix on my phone, even if Maps says it has a fix its not accurate. (shows me driving on 3-4 roads over from where I actually am)
I have tried tightening the screws as outlined here to NO effect. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201668
And the fix listed here
And finally manually editing the GPS.CONF file to include more specific NTP servers for the US, after that didnt work I tried an APP called FasterGPS that did more of less the same thing I did. My GPS did work for a short period after using FasterGPS but now has returned to not working at all.
Running Stock ICS with SuperUser\Root
Build 4.0.4 VRALF2
Would really appreciate some help.

Maybe something software related got messed up. I noticed that you are on Build 4.0.4 VRALF2. That is quite a few versions from the latest. Maybe factory resetting and updating to the latest version out would help?

That was my next step.
However Ive been thinking of just flashing CM10.1 for awhile now so I might just do that.
Just want to see if I can get this resolved without the need to reflash.
Hello,
I recently discovered that my battery life had become very poor, and so I checked the wakelocks and it turned out to be RilJ Dialer, leading to a mspi and radio interface wakelock whenever my signal become low or gone( I get poor reception in areas of my school). I learned that RilJ Dialer is used when apps are requesting network location through wifi only, and the most common culprit is Maps. I froze maps and the problem was gone, so I set out to fix maps. It turns out that the background location settings is stuck at manually set location when I try to set it to not report location, it will always change back when I leave the menu. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling, fixing permissions, and going online and changing all my map settings through there, and nothing has worked. Is this a bug with Maps? I currently have is froze, and toggle between frozen and unfrozen when I need it, because it takes way too much battery in low/no signal locations. Thank in advance.

Hey Boojay,
Unfortunately, I was never able to find a solution. I was using Cyanogenmod 7.2, and just froze maps when not in use and unfroze it when I needed it. A few weeks after the problem arose, I had some time off, and so I decided it was time to upgrade my software, and so I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2, did all the associated upgrades, set up maps, and the problem never came back, and maps is working perfectly as of now on 4.3.1. I'm not sure what Android version you are on, but when I had the problem I tried everything in the original post, but it still didn't work. I understand that your post quite old, so hopefully you have found a solution by now.

No worries and I didn't find a solution, but I'm using a rom now where battery life isn't an issue despite that little quirk.
It seems Google's goal is to use more resources and keep track of our whereabouts at the expense of battery. I'm not too thrilled with the direction they're taking with their apps and OS lately, but what can ya do?

Using Google Maps with Lollipop CM12...Has anyone had the issue where they can get a GPS lock, Google even gives you the ETA of your destination, but as you drive, you lose your lock and Maps gets stuck - thinking you're on a random side street nearby while you're actually moving on course? I am using Location in high accuracy mode. I'm running the official 4.4.4 firmware posted by @Tigerstown too. Never had this issue before. Ideas anyone? Thanks!

I have had this issue before. Not on cm cause I don't run that. I'm trying to think of what ROM this was on...I tried all the lock tricks I know. My maps did the same thing as yours. Only choice I had was not to run that ROM..if you get it figured out but I don't know what you can do I didn't try let me know
It looks a lot like this problem : http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/gps-dropping-signal-ota-lollipop-update-t2951515
(Also reported in AOSP : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81140 )
Sadly it seems this problem has not yet been solved/acknowledged by Google...
Well that sucks, I'm looking for a fix to it. Preferably a fix that does not involve returning to stock, then reflashing to CM after I get a lock, and hoping the planets were lined up perfectly.

This issue has been fixed for me for quite some time now. Which device and ROM are u running? And are you 110% sure that you're using the latest firmware?
I got it fixed. Try though, and yes I'm absolutely positive that the firmware is up to date. It happened because I was messaging with a room that used a f2fs /system position, and CM needed it to be ext4, so it was formatted before installing. I just installed a known functional ROM, then installed CM with /system left as is. No Isadora since aside from CM using a newer recovery, and forcing it on us now.
