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?
Hmm.. I don't have this problem. Have you tried clearing data for Maps?
Also, is this the latest version with live traffic rerouting?

I cleared data and it seems like that might have fixed it.. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, thanks!
Unfortunately, the problem is persisting.. now even getting FCs and freezes. This is the only buggy app

Any other ideas for why this might be happening? And why clearing data from time to time sort of helps?

Does the problem exist on a stock ROM? Maybe the problem is a setting on your Google account that syncs with the Maps app and causes it to crash.. Don't know what could be causing it really

+1 same issue
anyone? ................
my google maps works, this only happens on my google navigation GPS thing
did you clear app data>uninstall>reinstall?
i dont care for google nav any way, it seem problematic on the captivate. a few times it worked perfectly and other times it causes the gps to crash on some roms. on others the positioning becomes eratic one trip not the next. the most stable my gps has been on a nav program is with navdroyd.
I was noticing the same problem when Google maps did a recent update. Try going into the market place and uninstall the update. If that doesn't work try upgrading to a 2.2.1 rom like Preception or Darky's. When I went from a 2.2 to a 2.2.1 it seemed to fix the problem.
I was having this problem with navigation. It stopped after I went into places and did a navigate from there. After that I could go into navigation without the issue.

I also did something similar to this. Instead of Places, i picked a random location from within Google Maps (long press) and then chose to navigate to it. Worked fine after that.

When I type into the search engine on Google.com it hides my typing like as if I were typing a password??? I have tried factory reset, I have tried fixing permissions. It only does it there. I think it might be tied to app Absolute system that I am using to change system fonts.
I am rooted using sense, stock kernel, and radio right now.
Anyone else seen this? Know of a fix?

I am having the same problem. It started this morning. I did some searching on the internet and apparently it's a global issue on Google's side. From what I have read they are aware of the issue and are working on resolving it.
Ah I searched and didn't see anything. But did find it was only on their site but don't know why it wouldn't affect everyone then??? It's weirding me out.

Seems to be working right now...
heres the fix
1 go into google homepage
2 click on settings in the bottom
3 click off on query suggestions
4 save settings
5 add that as home page
6 enjoy
6 1/2 hit the thanks button

Hi
I am having a weird issues with Google Navigation. The GPS seems to work fine, but the maps are rotated 90 degrees.
Basically when I am driving, the maps are showing me travel sideways. It is kind of disorienting to look at the maps this way.
Is anyone experiencing the same issue. This was working until a week ago. I did search the forums but did not come across anything.
Any help is appreciated.

I believe you can just rotate the maps using two fingers and twisting.
At least you can on Google Maps.

Is your auto-rotate enabled? Also there's a blue arrow button on the lower left corner of the map when you're navigating, hitting that will reorient your map to the default "chase" view.
Maybe try going to Settings>Apps and clearing data and cache for Maps? Never seen that one, but clearing data/cache sometimes clears up random bugs in various apps.
So is everything rotated on the screen, including text? Or just the map graphics? And only in Maps?
Hi redpoint
The text bar on the top and bottom are oriented correctly. There is no problem
With the text or the location. Only the map is oriented in a direction other than the one I am driving. Sometimes it is doing 90 degrees other times it is doing 180...270 etc. I should have mentioned this in my original post..apologize for that.
I have just cleared the data for maps and I have to wait a few hours to test again because I am at work.
Thanks

Good to hear. If it ever happens again, let us know what you were doing when it happened. This is the first time I've ever heard of this.

Glad to see it worked. Be sure to hit the "thanks" button for any posts that were helpful.
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.

My wife and I both have the Nexus 5. I'm still on KitKat while she is on lollipop. She is completely stock and upgraded to lollipop via ota. I tried to take pictures in low light so I set the flash to always on. I noticed sometimes it would not flash, sometimes it would flash, and sometimes the flash would come on and stay on leaving the app in a hung state. Anyone else? Or should I just consider a different app from the Play Store?
Not an issue for me stock 5.0. I flashed factory image didn't wait for OTA. Try clearing cache and data on camera app?

I thought of clearing the cache after I posted this, so I did. Now it seems the flash doesn't work at all even when set to be on all the time. I guess I will just stick to HDR on her phone
I've got problems too, and I looked for it in the web. Seems to be a known bug, when you use the torch then the camera has problems and crashes sometimes too.
Anyway rebooting fixes everything. Apparently here in xda nobody has started investigating this

I'm wondering if using a third party led flashlight app (tiny LED is good) would resolve if it's just a Google issue? I cant we why it's a camera issue, I'm putting my money on the Google flashlight code.
