So I updated my Google Maps to version 3.4.0. Now everytime I try to open Maps, it force closes instantly.
Has anyone else updated and have this problem / not have this problem?
rolling back to the included version - advise everyone to avoid updating for now unless you are a daring stunt master

Trudging to my doom as I speak...
Just installed 3.4 and it works for me.
I'm running msmissions 2.1.0 build with dzo's 2/04/10 nbh file.

I'm not sure if this is related but GPS Status tool goes to a black screen when I launch it now.

Works fine for me, though I'm getting some odd functionality in Myn's build that I'm using.
Updated as well from Myn's latest build on NAND and got a F/C as well. Earlier version worked fine on the same ROM, so it's certainly the upgrade.

Two different results from Myn's ROM and I'm using Plemen's ROM so I really don't think it's build specific.
Also of note: I read a review just before I updated of someone saying "Does not work, package certificate not signed". I'm going to assume it was a branded Android device, our numbers aren't that huge yet (I would guess)..........soo it would seem that hopefully it's not due to our custom Android config.
My sadistic OCD drive to update forced me to do it despite my better judgement of the review I noticed. OOPS just realized all of our builds don't include Google Maps because of issues with Nav. No maps until Google fixes it now ... ruh roh!
Try turning off GPS in your phone settings.
The first time I updated, I started it and got a phone reboot.
Then I turned GPS off, loaded up Maps, and it loaded fine. Turned GPS on, tried GPS Test, worked fine.
Then I loaded up Maps w/ GPS, worked fine, got a position. So then I figured maybe it's something with GPS initialization. I rebooted my phone and tried again. Maps loaded, but now GPS won't initialize in either GPS Test or Maps. Maps does load.
I think either:
1. Either the new Maps doesn't like something with the way our GPS initializes (seems unlikely as other builds work)
2. Myn has something messed up in his build.
2 is far more likely. Something seems to be hosed in Myn's build. Right now when I boot up my phone, GPS turns on with no applications running.....
GPS works, it just never turns off.
Here's the changelog for 3.4.0..
Starred items synchronized with maps.google.com - access your favorite places from your phone or computer
Search suggestions from your personal maps.google.com history - makes it easy to search for places you've searched for before
Night mode in Google Maps Navigation - automatically changes your screen at night for easier viewing and driving
Pinch-to-zoom functionality: devices will now include a new pinch-to-zoom mechanism in the phone's Browser, Gallery and Maps applications
Something that confuses me is at every website they describe Google Maps as updating the phone with multitouch... I hope this doesn't cause issues for those of us still with resistive screens (Vogue)

I'm sure they put a check somewhere to indicate if the phone supports multi-touch. Not all do.

I am at work and can't confirm but I believe this is not build specific.
According to berardi's post, He is running Plenum's build and is also having the same issue .
Anyone got a logcat of the force close?
Code:
adb logcat

i would also think that because the tattoo is 1.6(supports navigation) and has a resistive QVGA screen.

I am having issues with the Market today.
I tried two separate test accounts in between system wipes and I can't download a thing.
Anyone else having similar issues?

With the Market now back I downloaded the new Google maps on both the SQSH and NoMoRootFS version of Warm Donut and both worked flawlessly.
No force closes, no loss of GPS signal.
For reference these were both fresh systems with no Google maps loaded previously. [email protected] Warm Donut rls 2.
Perhaps (I am guessing) the market outage had something todo with this? Perhaps there are google web services hosted on the Market servers that the Maps application interacts with?
Try your maps again. If it does fail, uninstall and redownload.

Market back up for me too... redownloaded, even tried jnadke's method of turning off gps, opening up, but still nothing just a force close. I guess I will try reinstalling again tomorrow. Not sure what else to try but I need my maps!
I was able to update Maps, no problem!
You won't believe this, but it worked for me. I am running Myn's Warm Donut, the original release. I am booting from Haret, on ext2 partitions. (Fat32, ext2, ext2) I read all the posts, and decided to update Google Maps anyway. I figured if it didn't work, I was going to upgrade to Myn's Donut release 2. And, it works on the original release. Also, I was able to download The Weather Channel from the Market just before I did the update. I am running at 320 x 480, lcd=160. I wonder if the problem might have anything to do with the new NoMoRootfs builds? I did have my gps turned on when I downloaded the update. After installing, I clicked on "My Location," and it zoomed right in to my actual location, accurate to 4 meters. Sometime this weekend, I'm planning on sorting through my microSDs, backing them up and formatting a couple of them. Then I'll load Myn's release 2 on one and one of the other builds on a different card. I might even get brave enough to unlock my Touch and do a NAND install. (I wish I could do that from LINUX or totally from my SD card...) I'll let you know what happens with the Market.
Ok this is really weird, I installed Myn's build, ran Google Maps and it worked fine, then I played with another build. Google Maps didn't work. I then reinstalled Myn's build and once again it doesn't work...
I get an error right after the splash screen. The details report some kind of GPS script error.? Any ideas? I'm using the TMous stock rom and also the newest Bing.. Thanks
It's working on my tmous hd2. There's no exit or quit, so you have to force close the app.

I've tried a bunch of times...? which version of bing do you have? Or does it use googlemaps? It crashes right away after the splash for me with a page of GPS script errors??? HMM...
LOL, now this will drive me crazy.... don't really need the app, but it's annoying when I can't get something to work right..lol thanks
It says Bing maps on the about info. I don't think it uses the Bing apps though. I'm using Bing 5.1.2010.
It kind of works...it cant track my location via gps constantly, it will do it one time and put a nice blue dot on map, then when I move and ask it to find me, it'll center map on my location, but won't show blue button. It is also buggy and I've had time where buttons don't respond, it has frozen my phone other times, and I"ve had to home button, task manager close it at other times. Anyone got a constant gps fix when you use it?
Edit *Also had a ton of GPS errors, can't find your location, etc*
Works fine for me.
Man this is weird, it works on my son's HD2 also and our phone's are almost identical? I even tried uninstalling w/sktools to make sure the registry was clean. Oh well. I'll probably flash a new rom this weekend anyhow, this is the longest I've ever ran a stock rom anyways..

Constantly tracking your location?
Hi,
I'm at the end of my patience here. I've had all 3 of these roms installed, and they all work great, except that google earth NEVER shows up in the market. I found a google_earth.apk, and Installed it from ES File Manager, and it works except when I try to clear the cache, or change any of the layers. And on the first attempt it crashes but 2nd or more, it will work if no settings are changed. I've already tried to fix permissions in clockwork but to no avail. Any suggestions?
From what I've read by searching Google, I think Google actually removed this from the market for some reason.
EDIT: Either that or they've changed it to 2.2 and above only. Haven't used 2.2 yet so I'm not sure if its there or not.
well then I guess I should be happy with what works??? lol! But if anyone wants the file, here it is. See what you can do with it.

I'm on the 2.2 Beta and its in the market for me. so if you really can't locate it in the market then i would assume you are right in that its only for froyo now. in which case you can probably install an earlier version of google earth and run it without any problems. i'lll see if i can find one in one of my old backups somewhere if you would like.
I would really appreciate that!

I doubt that would work, since you have to connect to google servers to run the program and they force you to use the most current version.
Worst case scenario you will get it when the official 2.2 is out, won't be long.
randomly now it works without any problems. strange.
Probably put it 2.2 only for the size. I still have ir installed on 2.1 and it works fine, I can pull the apk later and pay it If anyone wants it.

Is the newest build from kushdeck (alpha5) a stable enough rom for a daily driver?
I would say yes, but you are in a much better position to find that out. It has some issues but all bearable for me. Give it a whirl it won't hurt.

I had an issue with an error at startup where it would say "Unfortunately, SWIPE has stopped" keep popping up until I enabled and disabled it in settings. Plus the app drawer would crash if you scroll to much into it. And Facebook Contacts pictures will not sync. And some issues with GPS I've heard about. Other then that, it seems usable and ICS Is amazing pretty quick!
I have yet to get contacts or gmail to sync.

I've been using it for about 5 1/2 hours now & its been great. Camera didn't work at first, then an hour into it, it is working fine for me. You should definitely give it a run.

I've never had an issue with signin if, firstboot = get to home screen, let it settle, then power off.
Power on, THEN add your accounts.
I guess it depends on what apps you use. I'm having problems with a few. Maps was being flaky along with a others. I rely heavily on it. Back in cm7.

Works great for me, just make sure you back everything up, do a complete wipe and fresh install. I've backed-up/reinstalled my apps using Titanium Backup and they worked fine.

I've been using alpha 5 since it came out as my daily driver. Other than a few little things here and there, I've found no deal breakers. Had some issues with maps, but I flashed the GPS fix and cleared the Maps data and it's working great now.
What worked for me through all the Alphs was Full Wipe (a couple times), flash ROM, restart, flash modified GApps (not the one in the first post), restart, fix permissions, restart. I have had zero problems by doing this each time.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have a corporate calendar synced with this? I was able to add my corporate email, and under system settings> accounts & sync, it shows sync calendar option, but when I go into the calendar, it doesn't show the corporate calendar. Even under the calendar settings, my corporate account is listed, but it says "no calendars". Any ideas?

Which gps fix did you flash b/c I will need it
+1 on what KCB5 said earlier. I've been using deck's ROM since A1 as daily and it gets better and better every time. That being said I still get a few reboots here and there and gmaps is inconsistent but other gps apps work fine so I'm sure there are kinks. IMO the faster I push my phone...the fewer probs I have. Can anyone else confirm?

check the thread by galandy . Its the qualcom vision 1.1 vision GPS driver.
I've been using drews p5 since last weekend as a daily driver. Running great. As for launcher FCing or lagging, search xda for Nova launcher. Much more stable and more options, resize any widget, etc. In a week, I've only experienced 2 reboots, and I use my phone constantly.
There are several versions of gapps floating around. There are fixed calendar apks (and email) for sync and exchange. I have them and can post them if you can't find them.
Very stable, very awesome, and drews and decks are essentially the same. Camera works at 8mp now. Video play back has black lines and needs some work.
Daily driver? 100% IMHO
http://db.tt/eir9yG1M
If anyone needs the fixed calendar and email apks, they're in the zip. Extract them, move to /system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r, and reboot.
sent from xda app on drews ics
Yup that's the gps fix. If you can't find it let me know and I'll dig it up..
I was able to get maps working using the fix and clearing the maps data.

Not sure about it smoothing out as I push it harder.
The CoD tweaks seemed to smooth things out for me.
Agreed those tweaks do seem to help.

Been running Decks alpha 5 since it was released. Log into Gapps with no issues, mail and calendar sync worked for me, have an additional exchange account with no issues. I used the Gapps file titled.... ICSGoogleApps12-16. I also flashed the GPS drivers listed in previous post. I use Waze as my daily navigation (free from market) and have had zero issues. Although camera works its still a work in progress. No tweaks, yet, and still fast and smooth. Issues I have encountered. Whenever I have down time I played Blood and Glory. The game loads, plays intro but closes when loading. Probably cause the app isn't ICS compatible. Netflix loads but no video, YouTube loads and videos are jerky as well as any video files I have saved on my phone, also jerky.
Complaints...... None !!!!! Very nice and for a group of guys to have a running ICS release for my EVO long before HTC...... priceless. Outstanding work to all who have contributed.

Not quite everything. The last update left my apps still installed, but cleared all application data including accounts, home screen, etc. I would assume this would do the same. I may install later today and do a diff of the packages to see if there is anything new.
Titanium backup works pretty well to backup and restore the data after the upgrade.
Oh wow! Exciting stuff. I'll try this tomorrow maybe.
I really wish they would put SOME kind of changelog

Just tried the update. Seemed to work okay, except when it booted for some reason it wouldn't load the stock Joying launcher. I had to use touch wiz to open Nova Launcher to navigate. Not sure what happened I may try to reinstall the firmware.

That has been solved already by gustden's modifications.
What I'm interested in is have they fixed the too bright minimum brightness of the screen? Apart from that the unit is pretty close to perfect already.

Actually that apk is not working for me outside default launcher U01 :crying: I don't know how it is working for you..
Reinstalled Feb.22 firmware but the stock Joying Home launcher is not working. It seems it didn't install properly or something. But I can revert into Nova Launcher that I had previously installed. Seems CarMediaSettings button has changed names to Car Settings, however I cant turn off the annoying Key Button Tone as the option has disappeared. It's late here so will test more tommorow, but I got the device rooted again. I will try the display brightness shortly. Curious to see if anyone else has problems like this as well.

Working perfectly for me with Apex launcher which was selected as default launcher in car media settings.
My car: Skoda Superb 2013.
My update went pretty bad.
After installation I couldn't get to desktop at all - only blank blue screen (wallpaper) and nothing else. I could get to settings from that floating button, and did full reset and then it worked. It started with the new launcher, maybe I will give it a go.
Haven't got the time to install all the apps etc. again.
Some cosmetic changes, but nothing obvious. Still can't get my parking sensor detections to the screen.
My GPS signal got dropped all the time with last software, hope that is fixed. They already sent me new GPS antenna, waiting it to arrive.
I'm actually really pissed to the unit right now. If my issues with radars and GPS are not fixed with this update and new antenna, I'm sending unit back and go for stock RNS-510.

Try removing Nova completely, and clearing data on the joying launchers. I never was able to have Nova and the stock both installed together. I always had to remove nova completely to use the stock launcher. And vice versa.
my update also went weird. Just went to a wallpaper with nothing except that dumb dot. I could use the dot to get to apps, and go to Car Settings.
however when I go to the 3368 screen, the password to change the UI seems to have changed
So would you say it's best to wait installing this? Seems to be a problematic update...
Thanks for the tip about Backup & Reset to restore stock functionality. 3368 still seems to work for me on some menues but others not. Will do further tests today to see if my GPS is better and anything else worth noting
seems the stock launcher has issues. when i did the upgrade the launcher wouldnt launch no matter what i did. factory reset the unit and the launcher started working, did some customizing of the widgets and then it wouldnt work anymore. i was able to set nova as my default launcher through settings but not through car settings.

factory reset fixed my bugs, seems to be working as normal now, but I am using the default UI3 launcher
I just did the update. Been stuck on the "ANDROID" logo for about 30 mins now. So not sure if i should let it go or try and reboot it via reset button.
