Google Maps (Navigation) GPS Issues - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727
First, it sometimes sends me to the wrong place.
Second and worst of all, my navigation lady keeps saying the same thing over and over "turn right to xxxx and exit at xxxx" doesn't matter where i am going or how far away i am from home. But.the navigation map will show the right path/direction/way (most of the time) just the voice keeps looping on the same message.
I am on stock ICS. I've tried reboot, deleting and reinstalling the app, refresh, wipe cache, etc. anybody has this issue and knows how to fix, it gets really annoying?

Try clearing data from google services frameworks and data and cache from maps. Not sure it will work but it's worth a shot.

The same problem happened to me from time to time -- and it might come back again when I update my ROM. Clearing cache and clearing data for Maps was enough to get rid of the problem. No need to re-flash the entire ROM.
- First stop Maps in your Android system (System settings > Apps > All > Maps then click Force stop);
- Then clear cache
- Finally, clear data;
- Try again loading Maps/Navigation and ask it to drive you somewhere. Ear if the voice is still stuck on the same Turn right on main street...
If the problem persists after trying to clear data and cache, clear all /cache partition and Dalvik's cache in recovery.
Are you using TiBu?

Out of curiosity are you using TiBu, and did you let it reboot your phone on a schedule?
I ask because I have seen this same exact problem. The problem appeared to stem from a scheduled job within TiBu that would clear cache and reboot during the night. I killed that job, and then I no longer had the problem. However, I later went back and set up a different job to move apps to internal memory and then reboot. Once again the problem returned. I have since disabled all jobs that reboot the device, and all is good for me now.
Sign out of Google maps first...

I've heard that for persistent problems like yours that you need to sign out of maps and latitude, then clear the maps caches and data in both, then re-download ur maps updates from the play store. Latitude is known to hold onto a lot of the bad data and then re-communicates it back to maps.

hi, i use tibu only to manually back up and delete apps. beyond that I have not used the tibu any other way (i don't know how and have not had the chance to learn) however, i might check it too in case i toggled something that i should not have without knowing.

can you freeze your wi-fi calling?
I tried to freeze wi-fi calling in Titanium Backup. But after that I still see this app when I check it in setting-->application-->managing-->running. And just as before, you cannot kill it from running application. Is this normal?
I used bloat freezer to freeze it and my battery life has been 10000000xs better ever since. Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
not normal. i froze it on mine, and my husband froze it on his, both using titanium and i havent seen it running since. perhaps you need a reboot? the app isnt in your drawer anymore, is it?

Click to expand... Click to collapse I just took couple of screen shots. This is my first time to link files from dropbox. Hopefully it will work. here it shows the wi-fi calling has been frozen https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.23.55.png and here is shows the wi-fi calling is stll in running app list https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.22.59.png I cannot see the wi-fi calling app in the application screen. --if that's what you mean in my "drawer"(?) When you say reboot, do you mean press hold the power button to turn the phone and and back on again? I think I did that last night but apparently it didn't resolve the problem. p.s. the same thing happens to one of "my account" app as well (the one cannot be killed by manage application in setting)
same case as OP. Froze wifi calling and MyAccount with TitaniumBackup, but both apps still run. (yes they disappeared from the menu, but they are still constantly running)

Click to collapse No no no i mean like battery pull or turn the power off and on not Factory Reset! and ALL bloatware can be frozen and/or removed if you want! But the only reason you get this weird force close loop is cause you freeze/remove the program, but the process is still running leading to the phone not knowing what to do. Than after you reset it(Not Factory Reset) it wont start up because you have removed the app.

My problem is simply that, when I freeze the bloats with titanium backup, these bloats would be removed from the app drawer BUT still be running in the background. (this scenario applies to WIFI calling and Myaccount) I have restarted the phone, factory reset, and tried this on 2 phones already. So I really doubt that would fix the problem. 1 question: what do you freeze them with? Maybe bloat freezer can do a better job than titanium?
just kidding! I went to the menu you are referring to and saw the apps under running processes for me too! This scares me, however since the program is present but frozen, aka can't be actively run, I am ambivalent as to whether it has an adverse effect on battery life. (maybe since it's frozen it is present on the list but won't drain battery?) Also, maybe it's presence there insures that it won't get in the way of an otA Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

so just to double check-- these apps dont show up in your running processes anymore?

I completely uninstalled it from my phone. If it 'breaks' OTA updates, I'm sure there will be a ROM dump within hours anyway on here, if I'm not running CM7 by then that is.
yea the thing is that, I sometimes want to unfreeze Myaccount or WIFI calling to actually use them. Uninstalling/reinstalling is quite tedious every time
[Q] Apps constantly closing for no reason
This has been happening on basically every rom that I flash. It never happens as soon as I flash, but will start happening within a few weeks usually. I am running Octane right now, and absolutely love it. It is very fast and I have amazing battery life. The last week I have been using it have been a nightmare though. Almost every time I open messaging and dialer, they will instantly close again. It isn't a force close though. It is just like I hit the home button right after opening them. This is extremely annoying, does anyone have a solution?

YouTube Force Closing
I haven't been able to get the YouTube app to work ever since I flashed weapon. When I opened it the first time I linked my account and went to play a video and it force closed. Cleared cache and data, still force closed. Uninstalled and reinstalled, still force closed. Mostly as soon as I tap the icon it will happen, unless I've cleared cache and data then it will fc as soon as I try to watch something then will go back to FCing immediately once I try again. I've done some searching and only found some problems but no real answers. Has this happened to anyone else? Did you get it fixed and how? Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
So I inadvertently fixed it, at least for now. I made a backup to try a different kernel and when it didn't work I had to restore. YouTube works fine now. Ha. Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
[Q] Anyone else's phone freezing?
Does anyone's phone just freeze for a while? Thanks.
are you on a stock rom or a custom? try long pressing the home button, selecting task manager from the bottom, then select the ram tab and clear memory there... this may help if that freezing happens after you have had a few apps open and havent closed out of them...

Click to collapse I have heard some other folks having this issue recently (via reviews on the T-Mo site) which I can only attribute to some update for a T-Mo bloat app breaking something. It happens. Have you kept your apps updated? If so, you may want to check if a factory restore will fix the issue - just don't forget to backup your messages, etc. and sync calendar, contacts, etc first so the restore process is less painful.
[Q] Google Navigation does not resume after waking screen
I use Google Navigation on a daily basis and have found a bug while using CM and PACman ROMs. If I am in the middle of a navigation route and the screen is turned off, when the screen comes back on the navigation continues to appear in the notification bar, but I cannot return to the visual turn by turn directions. It always takes me back to the Navigation landing page of choosing your destination again. Any help?
