I noticed that Google Maps Navigation is not speaking street names very randomly. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I can't seem to pinpoint why. A temp fix is to swipe away the navigation in Recent Apps, and then re-do the navigation. Is anyone experiencing a similar issue?
I have noticed it too. Clearing the cache for Google TTS also is a temporary fix as well as a reboot. After the phone has been on for a while, there seems to be some sort of 'switch' that makes navigation not say street names anymore. I've tried many different things and have still not found a solution. Very frustrating.

I have noticed that when i try and find my position with google maps. i have issues. However, its a million times better with nav. Am i having gps problems or what? any1 else thinking they have problems try the nav program.
I have issues with NAV. It seems to take FOREVER to get a fix on my position and i'm in a car with a sunroof and it's open (not that it should matter).
I got some hokey answer from HTC support saying to clear the Google Maps cache, turn off the phone, remove battery, and then put it all back together and turn it back on.
Oddly this seems to temporarily solve the problem but then it reoccurs. So it's not really the answer.
I had noticed the same thing. With mine I could get a quick fix going into navigation from.the car home but not going into maps or navigation directly. Have you downloaded the app gps stat? It has helped a lot with mine, now I get a quick lock no matter what
Hi all,
My phone:
Original Motorola Droid
Rooted
Running Cyanogen Mod 7.1
Using V6 Supercharger with multi-tasking settings
Overclocked to 1000mhz
I have this strange problem I can't find the source of.
I frequently use Google Maps Navigation.
In the past the voice is the standard robotic sounding voice with the turn-by-turn directions and speaking full road names during navigation.
Recently starting about a month ago I would use my navigation like normal, However the navigation voice would randomly (at a point after maybe 5-10 minute into the trip or more) change to a different voice that sounds much less robotic and would only speak turns, example "turn left", "turn right" and not speak road names.
On top of that the navigation app, and eventually the whole phone would freeze and then shortly after reboots.
Needless to say my nav app is useless in this state and I'm at a loss to find a fix.
I have tried removing any other apps that might have a alternate voice installed, such as Google Translate, and a virtual assistant app called Eva.
I do still have Vlingo installed and I like using it so I have neglected to remove it. I have even completely removed Google maps, and wiped every file with maps in its name from my SD card and from the root FS with root explorer.
I'm frustrated and if any of you fine people have any tips for me id love to hear them
Thanks,
tw3ak.
Mine has been doing this as well lately. I used navigation twice a day every day on my way to and from work and it's done this a few times in the past couple weeks.
The voice is nicer, but also quieter.
I have an evo 4g.
I was doing a web search for this exact problem and found this thread. It seems only a handful of people have experienced it.
I have the Loquendo TTS engine, and lately the navigation is starting to use the "canned" non-TTS voice. If I quit navigation and restart it enough times, I eventually get my TTS voice back. Unlike what others have reported online, on my phone it seems that when google nav picks one or the other it sticks with it instead of switching randomly between the two.
I haven't seen anyone report it being fixed yet.
Hello all,
I have recently received my Nexus 5 and everything seems to be great. However, I have encountered a major (to me anyway) problem. It seems that Google Search from the persistent bar has a habit of freezing. To be more specific, it works fine for a while upon a boot. However, after prolonged use the search function becomes unresponsive. I am still able to select the bar but search does not work.
I have narrowed down a hint to what may be causing this. In the running apps section of the setting, I see Google Search is in cashed processes. When I select to stop this process Google Search resumes its normal function. Can anyway relate or provide advice to what may be causing this?

I'm with you here, sometimes it'll just say "Turn left.....turn right..." etc. I seem to notice that it happens on return trips, not on the trip to the destination, but I'm not exactly hard science observing/recording things either. I haven't tried different map programs (MapQuest, Scout, Waze, etc.) to see if they do it too.
Hey, so lately Google Navigation has been rerouting my trips for no reason. It almost seems like if I hold the phone a certain way it thinks that it's going in a different direction. The issue is becoming very annoying. I'm on PA currently, and might switch back to stock and see if it still happens.
