[Q] Google Maps update - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I've been reading articles about a recent major update to Google Maps, but so far nothing appears to have changed on my phone (or tablet, for that matter) and the Play Store tells me I've got the latest.
Anyone know what gives with this? Does anyone have the new version?

Good for a laugh first thing this morning lol

Thanks. Didn't realize they maintained different "versions" of the app targeted to specific O/Ss and devices. Hey -- my app runs on anything from 2.3 up!

The lastest update really does suck !
I was on the free way, but it showed my position on the street next to the free way. It had never happened before the update. So I don't recommend people to update. And my GPS signal is pretty good (16/25 sat.), so there is nothing wrong with my gps, but the app itself.

Agreed, if you can keep from updating, definitely hold out. Mine wouldn't keep up with my position in navigator and it was telling me to turn in directions which weren't even possible. They've introduced some major bugs with this update. I reverted back to an older version and I'm good to go now.

Possible update of some kind from LG!

http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp
Lists LGP999 in the list. I hope this is what we want.
Here's my issue: My phone is from Wind Mobile in Canada. The only choice inside the app for carrier is T-Mobile which then lists the LG-P999DW. I don't want to brick my phone. It doesn't say it must be from that carrier, but the model only shows when you select it. I assume there's no connection except for user friendliness in the update app (yeah right, check out that Engrish).
It gives a few precautions and whatnot (charge full, remove SD)... Someone give it a shot and see what it updates!
This mobile support tool is typically used for drivers. I expect a notification for GB.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
When you do the model name search "LGP999" it says Upgrade is available.
At work without my USB cable. Could this possibly be the fixes without the gb upgrade?
Its nothing ...its said that since release ...and you Canadians, isn't your phone skinned differently all together?

[CONCEPT][APP] Honeycomb Window-Mode

This is a concept of a Honeycomb app that allows to show an app in "phone resolution":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If Honeycomb is able to resize apps to fit bigger resolutions, why not the other way round to allow some better multitasking?
called cornerstone going into beta pretty soon

Personally i think this is the "great leap forward" that ICS should have had to blow ios out of the
water..
But sadly we are going to have to wait a little for it..

Onskreen is required to be built in into a ROM, which isn't much of a problem if developers can get their hands on it, but for those unrooted ones here, I think Onskreen will never reach our tablets
Galaxy tab 10.1 have something like that (mini applications ) in touch wizard but it is limited to 8 applications only

**Edit**
Did a search of my problem online and it seems that Motorola is trying to push an update to me? It will only download with an active wi-fi connection for some reason. Also I just tried updating my phone in settings and instead of saying nothing was available, its errors out because i'm not on a wi-fi network. Anybody confirm this for me please?
An update? Thats interesting...
I just hooked up my phone to a wifi and its auto downloading an update.

lol right?
I just checked my update status and it reads no update is necessary at this time? Any idea yet what the update is?
Its the first update we found on cheesecake. Its not official and I'm working with Mark the admin with Motorola to find out what it is. I guess he's gonna do something on moto's side. We shall see shortly.

This apk from the Nexus 7 system image is actually smaller and behaves the same.
Does the navigation is working especially on country that navigation is not active?

Nope. Really no idea why they insist on doing that. Must be legal reasons.
Thanks you for this

HELP! Google Play Services drained 2GB in less than a day!

Google Play Services is killing my data plan. I did some research on the forums and I am assuming this is because I just installed CM and my nexus is trying to download the new 4.4.3 update. What should I do to make it stop? I Read that for some people checking the restrict background data box works but it doesnt for others. Also read about an app called DisableServices but also came across mixed results.
Can anybody help me?

I though this was fixed in their latest builds? Which build are you on?
I thought so too. But apparently is trying to download. I was on 4.4.2 and then installed cyanogenmod 11

Install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
Go to System apps, google services and then disable "SystemUpdateService". This should fix it afaik,
Seems like the issue where the phone keeps downloading 4.4.3 over and over.
