Issues with Google maps - Honor View 10 Questions & Answers

New View 10 owner. I'm getting fc's and hangs using GMaps. Waze works fine so it has nothing to do with GPS. I was a beta tester but I opted out and uninstalled any updates hoping that would work but only got more of the same.
Any help would be appreciated. Love the phone however!

Same exact problem here, no clue as to why it's happening.

Yep, did all of that too. I must say though, now that I have been using Waze I like it a lot. Seems much more simple and less intrusive to me. Anyway, I would still like to find out why it's happening :good:

Same...I prefer Waze as well but I hate when something is not working as it should. If I find a solution I'll let u know.

Having the same exact issue and I've solved it, sort of. If you sign out of your Google account inside maps it will work perfectly, but once you sign in and restart the app it stops working again. So it works fine as long as you're not signed into your Google account inside the app...

Can you provide some details on how your phone is set up? Are you on FHD+ or HD+ resolution? FD+ will not exhibit the issue.

I'm on Smart Mode. But I tested right now FHD+ and HD+, with no issue.
My phone is rooted with Magisk and still on standard Boot loader (no TWRP).

I'm sure the root and the rom have a lot to do with it working correctly. I'm on stock and I'm assuming the others that are having issues are on stock as well.

ROM is stock, see screenshot.
Map has no root rights.
Map is a system app, maybe this is the difference?

Interesting. Defeats the purpose if you have locations saved that you want to get to. Waze is a great alternative till this gets resolved.
Thanks :good:

What is Smart Mode? I hear that disabling that can also help the lagging issue.

I have no lagging issues, as far as I know
I mean the smart mode from the Screen Resolution:
You can switch from FHD+ (2160X1080) to HD+(1440X720).
Smart Screen Resolution: It decides on its own depending on your battery level.

Also from what've been reading recently, this might be a common software issue that is associated with the Kirin 970 chipset or EMUI 8.0 as some people are experiencing the same issues with the Huawei P20. Hopefully this speeds up the process of an upcoming patch to solve the problem.

Hopefully. A patch would be great. I wonder if it's been noted in Honor's forums....if they have a forum. I never even looked to see. Came here first.

Same problem here. Lags and unresponsive. Wonder what's the deal?.

Mine is working perfectly fine. I am on stock (BKL-L09 - 8.0.0.140 C432), using FHD+ and signed in to Maps. It is snappy as hell, no FCs or lagging at all. If you guys need any more specific data from my build or phone let me know.

I second this. No problems at all, and I have been using Google Maps often recently. Simply works flawlessly.

I am having the same issue. I tried factory reseting my phone and maps still closes on me. Only time maps seems to work is with the Andriod auto app. ?

Are there any reasons to update to 4.4.3 aside from it simply being newer?

Are there any specific reasons for 4.4.3?
Is the radio better?
Is the OS faster?
Are there fixed bugs?
Are there fewer new bugs?
Is it more stable?
Is it more power efficient?
Are any of the above also true for the HTC+Verizon version we are given, as opposed to pure Google?
I would like to know this also. The only bonus I can think of is EPS mode which isn't as good as I thought it'd be (since I use different e-mail and text apps). So the biggest deciding factor for me to get 4.4.3 is a wash unless someone points out a bigger bonus that I'm missing. Till then 4.4.2 w/ Weaksauce is where I stay.
Its up to you. As there is a lot of fixes. But depends on the person. And what ROM your running. If you have your phone setup perfect and everything running great. Leave it alone.

OK Google works on any screen or while using any app. Also when the screen is off (while charging). Handy if you are one that uses it.
A lot of bug fixes and some new minor issues bit not much of a change. EPS mode enabled but actually preferred the regular PS which can be enabled by changing the value to TRUE in the defaulf.XML file.
I'm sure you saw a ton of news about Heartbleed. I believe all of the openssl libraries were updated in this release.

These features are available in the ok google settings on 4.4.2.
The settings were there but they didn't work. Works only on 4.4.3. Or at least that's what I read while trying to find why it wouldn't work for me previously (was on 4.4.2). Since updating, it works great.

Weird I've been using those features since I found them probably a month ago. Unless cleanrom made them work. I just tried it with a dozen random apps and it works fine, plugged in screen off also works fine. I wish it worked without being plugged in and screen off though.

Yea, it was enabled in an update by Google. Not Rom related at all.

Why does it cause the GPS and BoomSound logo to pop up every 3 seconds or so
Edit: After a day of use that app is garbage, Only works half the time and drains the battery way faster than it should(yes I understand its listening all the time, its worse than that.) Plus its using gps all the time, cant think of a reason it needs my location when all it does is trigger google now to start.
Will updating remove my root??

I've had it for almost a year, and yes it does use its fair share of battery, but u have to program it right. Being that it was made BEFORE Google released the ability to have it listening on all screens , there's an option to have it run ONLY while the screen is off, and I'm not sure what u mean about the gps, because it doesn't use location for me at all. U also have the option to blacklist it during certain apps (donate version ) its most certainly not "garbage" as There's really no other apps out that enable the always listening functionality… and if you do the regular ok google command, that makes the boomsound icon appear as well. So if you're saying your constantly seeing it, that means u didn't set it up right, u had it running ON TOP OF Google's always listening as well… so of course its gonna drain your battery… If u program it to only listen while the screen is off, you'll only notice the boomsound icon for a split second when u turn the screen on, and then it shuts off and googles listening takes over…

lollipop flashlight bug

Hi
Anyone having an issue with the stock flashlight app on the new Lollipop 5.0 not turning on
As a person working in IT and with crappy eye sight, this app really is a must for me.
A reboot of the phone will fix it, but by then the need for the light will normally have passed as I'll just ask someone around me for help
Found this was happening on the preview l as well, thought it they have sorted it in the finished release.
Cheers
Paul

You don't really say the issue you have. but the flashlight works fine for me

Im asking to see if the light does in fact work. If the light doesn't work with the camera either, then your light may be broken
The issue is intermittent and a quick reboot always fixes the issue. I must check the next time it goes, if the camera is broke as well

I have no idea what could cause that. My flashlight comes on every time I toggle it. Tesla LED (I think that's the name of it) is a good flashlight app in the Play Store if you want to try a third party app and see if it works better for you
Yup. I posted about this. When it refuses to work try open the camera app. It'll say cannot connect to camera

Most likely its a camera issue then. The flash LED and the camera software are connected.
Only rebooting fixes it that I've found so far. Seems to happen after using the flashlight for a long time

From what Ben36 is saying, it seems to be caused my leaving the flashlight on for a long period of time. So I would say it's a bug in the system that Google needs to fix. Try other apps like the one I mentioned and see if you get the same issue.

Cool, thanks will do
Had a similar issue today, flashlight turned off for no reason, then refused to turn back on until i restarted the phone.
never happened to me before until today and the only difference was that the phone was charging now.
I can say I am also having this issue and hopefully a fix is on the way unless cm does it first...

Issues with Google maps

Morning all,
Anyone else having issues with Google Maps on their Honor I seem to be able to move the map zoom in and out but can't type in the search box or click any of the menu buttons, tried uninstalling and reinstalling works maybe once of twice and then the same. Wasn't sure if it's an Emui issue or not as far as I know I'm on the latest version. Cheers

GMaps probs Honor 6X
Me too. I have problems with Google Maps on my Huawei Honor 6X even after installing or uninstalling reinstalling updates. It freezes and I can't click menu buttons. Only zooming in and ouy works. Perhaps we have disabled a phone feature which messes up Google Maps function.

Delay when pressing notifications

Hello guys, I recently got my new Oneplus 8T, and, whilst the device is amazing from what I could use it, it has an annoying flaw that I couldn´t find any information of.
When I press a whatsapp, telegram, etc notification, there´s a bit of delay inbetween the press and the start of the app opening. The phone does it the majority of times, as you can see in the video below (at the 10 second mark it opens it right):
Do you have an idea on what could be causing this? Does any of you have the same issue I do? I tried turning off everything related to battery saving, even factory reseting. Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

I've come across some people with this specific flaw, I contacted Oneplus and they told me to factory reset the phone and if that didn't help (which did not, since I've gone wayy further with it, installing HydrogenOS and older versions of OxygenOS and didn't solve the issue), it "might" be a software issue and it "might" be solved in the next software update.
For how much have you been with the phone?
What is bugging me is that this problem is too specific for it to be a hardware issue.

Yes, I still have my Oneplus 7 Pro and it works flawlessly. I think I found something crucial.
The problem lays whitin the "Notifications" apartment. I'll explain myself.
As you can see in this new video I recorded
that weird delay shows when I open a notification coming from the tab "Notifications". BUT, when I open the SAME APP (Play Store) from a notification coming from "Other notifications" there's no delay at all, the phone works flawlessly, see how I press to see how my download is going, there's no lag. It would be wonderful if you could try it yourself, and see if that's the case on you unit too.
Taking this into account, I'm almost 100% sure this is a software related problem, and has nothing to do with hardware, probably a bug.
I'll report it to the bug reporting section of Oneplus and see if they can work on it.

The latest OTA kinda did something for me. I get the delay 5 out of 10 times I press a notification. Used to be 9 out of 10 times lol. It's not completely fixed but it's an improvement. What I did was send a bug report to the Oneplus bug reporting site and they said that they will be working on it.

Question Question for OP 9 owners.

So I have this weird scrolling issue, like the one on this video:
Can someone please test if their phone does the same? I will replace the phone if this turns out to be a hardware fault. Thanks!
Hi,
I have the same issue on my OP9. But if I hadn't seen this video, I would never have known there was such a problem. Like in your video, problem exists only in stock launcher.

Alright, thank you! Yes it is a minor issue, but still quite annoying (at least for me and my way of using the device). Hopefully they will fix as it soon, as it seems to be happening only on the base non-pro 9 model.
First thing i do is install NOVA launcher. So never noticed an issue.

Okay, that's weird. Maybe I'm just too sensitive but scrolling feels off to me because of this.
Also, are you using the preinstalled screen protector?
Nope, didn't come with one. Got phone from t-mobile this time. Using one from Amazon forget which brand

Thanks for all the info so far! Just one more thing, could you please test it again, but keep your finger still for at least a second before flicking.
I am really sorry to bother you with this, but I am going to replace the phone, if yours turns out to be ok. I'm just paranoid that you might have missed it because it's so subtle.
In Nova the app drawer is side to side, but no issue there and in trying up and down in couple apps no issue . Even tested keyboard and virtually instant response using exact same keys from video. P0qla no delay at all

Alright, something is wrong with mine then... Or maybe the T-mobile version of the phone doesn't have this bug, since it uses a slightly different software.
Yeah could be. Maybe t-mobile turned down the touch rejection.
