Weird problem here. Since the update OTA, whenever I press the address part of a contact in People it opens the address in the HTC Locations app. Before it used to open it in Google Maps. Ideas?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have this also. Can't find out how to switch the thing back either. Kind of annoying really because I just don't seem to click with the locations app.
ability to pick between Locations and Google Maps would be great. I am having the opposite problems with addresses in my Calendar opening in Google Maps instead of the HTC Navigation.
My suspicion is that HTC are attempting to put their app (which has potential to make them money via licenses) front and centre.
Sure, you can still use Google Maps but don't expect it to be integrated with Sense!

Yep. Address opens Locations. Don't know if it used to open GMaps, though, because I never use that feature (usualy I know how to get to the people in my address book ).
try going to the locations app and checking if there are any default settings set.
You can't change it.

Just checked and mine does the same. It used to open in Google maps. As you say, HTC are probably just pushing their own SW.
It would be be nice to be able to choose which mapping SW opened BUT it'd be even nicer if you could just *view* the full postal address in a window if it's too long for the one line in the People app! (There's another thread on this somewhere). When it opened Google maps you could touch the 'flag' and it would then open a text window with the address but I haven't found a way to do this with Locations yet .......
Why is such a simple thing not included, even as an option????? As someone here said, we usually know how to get to people in our *contacts*. Mapping is to find unknown addresses!!!!!
I feel a *request* to HTC coming on.....

Sygic Aura doesn't work on 1.72 either. Just keeps erroring out. Same software works fine on 1.32 and on Cyanogenmod. Not sure if its a coincidence but its a very strange one.
Ok found the problem.
Go to:
Settings
Locations
Check "Integrate google navigation with locations"
Then everything will be back to normal.

which Aura do u mean? I have tried 2.1 and it works perfectly... to be honest - not so perfectly while it crashed 2 times while browsing the maps and switching views (not normal driving usage); however it starts and goes well. Maybe u have to update the soft - there was an actualization a few weeks ago.

Any update for this problem ?

If you lost the ability to see the mobile pages then you need to install the latest MT addition from Cyanogen. There was an issue with the first MT add on he put out and fixed it in the second one.
I recommend going back and re applying the MT add on and you should be able to see mobile pages again.
You can also D/L Google Maps 4.0 with built in Buzz support. Just go to the market, click on the downloads tab, and the update should be waiting for you!
Anyone knows why I don't have the update promted yet? Is it US only? (I'm oversea).
Also, if I go to buzz website on my N1, I can see the interface, but if I post a Buzz.. it keep spinning a small wheel in front of it, and it never completes (nor posts my Buzz)
Any ideea?
I got the same issue. Maybe it is because our gmail hasn't been updated with Buzz yet.
update google maps in the market
Anyone else find it subliminally retarded that Google puts the Nexus one behind the Iphone on its Buzz page ?
heh yeah, I noticed that myself...
However, here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/mobile/buzz/ there is an iPhone surrounded by 2 N1's.
Go figure.
I understand google though - people with androids will probably get buzz anyway in some future update (won't be surprised if it will be come a builtin app/link like google goggles) - but the real challenge is for them to get iPhone users to use it, pushing them more towards the google cloud.

click get buzz on you phone. you will be happy too see it has a nexus one first then a iphone, followed by another N1. if that helps you a bit lol
I'm quite liking buzz. It's so easy for me to see what people in my area are saying and I can just strike up a conversation with them.
Initially I thought 'How will they get people to leave Twitter to do this' then you realise pretty much everyone is already registered (I'm following people already who have never heard of Buzz!) it's just if they choose to use it.

I had those issues too - read that it might have to do with the accepting terms thing not registered properly so I wiped my Browser cache and rebooted.
Seems to still do it but then later I'll see it was posted. Also seems to do it straight after a reboot, but then become sluggish. Still glitchy I guess

Edit - Just updated maps and the Buzz Layer thing seems to work better than the one via mobile google. What will be useful I think once it takes off, is that you can pop over to a place and look for any buzz about traffic or weather problems that people might post from a location.

Thanks. Reflashing the mt addon allowed me to see mobile pages again. Buzz works fine now.
I've updated my Maps application to version 4 via Market, but I am not seeing the Buzz layer in Maps.
I wonder is it because this is being rolled out on a country by country basis?
The buzz layer is not enabled by default, you need to press the options, and then choose layers->buzz.
The easiest way to check if your gmap version is correct is to go to options->about - it should be 4.0.0 (#4046).

Thanks. My Maps is of the version you have listed. However when I go to Layers, I do not see the Buzz layer available for selection. Maybe, like Navigation, this Buzz layer will be turned on for other countries bit by bit?
Anyway I'll wait and see how it goes.

Hello XDA ^^.
When i'm using the build-in HTC Peep application for a new tweet and i want to add my GPS location, it gives me "Unable to find location information. Retry?".
Now i am 100% sure that my GPS is working, since GPS pictures can be made and Gmaps works fine.
Only HTC Peep refuses to get any location.
A second twitter-related question:
Is there any (better) Twitter application i can use, but WITH sense-integration (making it available as a tab like HTC Peep)
Thanks in advance !
Usually of I clink add location it does come up 'unable to find location' just clink on retry and it usually finds me straight away.
In answer to other tweet apps I no theres one called mo-tweets but you can't put that on your slider only on today screen but never use it, just have Twitter saved as fav on internet so I just use that.
Hope that gives a bit of help
I retried my *ss of, really ..
It keeps saying unable to find location information, while my GPS is clearly up and running ..
Any option/registry tweak i need to set/enable?

motweets is a fantastic program and at least ten times better with much better functionality that peep. i highly recommend dropping the four bucks on panoramics site and getting it.
as far as getting something on the bottom slider tab, i remember seeing a thread on here that addressed this but i cant remember which one it is. youll need to search some but im pretty sure it exists.

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ
I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!

Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

Hello,
I found out that the only way to geotag photos is to enable "Use wireless networks" option. But with that option, the coordinates location is not very close to reality...
I tried only the option "Use GPS satellites", but no matter what I do, it cannot insert any location on the photos...
Yes, I have GPS "turn on" on the powerconfig, I have the Geo-tag photos option ON, I have GPS fix on other apps in about 4seg, I waited more than 30seg inside the camera app before taking a photo but nothing works... Resuming, I don't have any problem with GPS itself, except in the camera
For example on my hold Touch HD, when in the GPS camera mode, it displayed a blinking icon when trying a GPS fix and a stable icon after the fix.
Here I don't even get any indication that it's trying to get a GPS fix or whatever...
I feel that this is a downgrade... How can HTC let this happen??
Am I doing something wrong??
Does anyone have Geotagging with only the "Use GPS satellites" option ON ???
Hi. I too can confirm this issue.
Perhaps we should contact HTC about this?
I'm going to read the manual during my lunch break too on the off chance it might have some useful info ... I doubt it though ....
The manual only makes reference to the option on the camera app...
It was nice if people start to report this bug to HTC...
Please guys help HTC to make a better phone!!!
On the other day I sent a support ticket to HTC and they were fast replying...
But, as normally, they even didn't understand quite what was I talking about...
Here's the reply:
Which GPS navgation software are you using? Bear in mind that some GPS softwares require internet to get for you maps, maybet his is your case.. If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again. Please note that you can contact us via support line.

You can, http://contactus.europe.htc.com/wFrmMailLogin.aspx

But I think it's better to you to open a new ticket
The one that I have, I'm speaking with a person (a women for the matter) from HTC Iberia, and clearly she doesn't understand what I'm talking about...
I got the second reply and she came again with the story of GPS softwares, even TomTom she spoke... ROFTL!!!!
For the navigations softwares, we recommend using TOMTOM, Copilot or Google maps. But bear in mind that Google maps are considered as GPRS hungry cause the maps are being viewed online. On the other hand, TOMTOM and Copilote download the maps to the phone that's why if you are using Google maps, wirelss network option should be ticked.. That's why we were asking which navigation software are you using.

I asked on the Whirlpool forum (Australian technology forums) and very little response too. In fact very few people even bothered to read the issue.
I guess geo tagging photos is not so important to people
I will raise a ticket with HTC Australia and see how that goes.
Now I got a message from the women from HTC Iberia saying it's a limitation from the system!!! ahaha
I only wish a I had the possibility to test this on another android HTC.
Does anyone knows if on other android HTC phones this happens??
Strange. Now that you mentioned it I too have that problem. However I did manage to get accurate GPS location on photos. Don't remember exactly how but I think that after taking the photo I tried to locate the place on the map and updated the coordinates from there.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
I have managed to make one of my photos accurately geo tag. I was in a car using Google Navigation at the time, so maybe that is why it was able to capture the correct coordinates.
This weekend I will be seeing two of my friends who also have Android phones (Nexus One and SE Xperia X10 mini) and I also have an HTC Magic. I will attempt to test on all of them provided the weather here in Sydney clears up >.<
Ok, I think I also got it...
I first opened GMaps, waited for the gps fix and then took a picture. I finally got Geotag only using the GPS satellites!!!
This is so stupid... and a backwards step...as I said before, I was able to do this only inside the photo app with my old Touch HD (in windows mobile) without opening previous any gps app...
I received my DHD 2 days ago.
As mentioned earlier in this thread I'm missing the icon shown i camera-mode witch indicates GPS-fix.
I've also tried confirming a GPS-fix with an 3rd party app (GPS Status) before shooting.
Just 1/4 second after exiting camera-mode, I can see the GPS-icon in the Android status bar. This indicates that the GPS is indeed initialized, but the camera-software doesn't fetch any information.
I'm posting a e-mail to HTC Support about this. I've already sent them a query regarding the "/INIT" -issue.
Hi,
I´m new.
Have the same problem.
What is the status? HTC has said what?
No reply from HTC yet.
Maybe it helps if several customers report in the issue.
I also created a ticket. Let's see what comes for a response.
Update: I've gotten GPS-tag on several images now. But still the tagging can fail even though I've tested the GPS-reception just seconds before.
I'm still missing the informative GPS-icon in camera-view...
Update:
From HTC Support:
It is true that the GPS-indicator is not visual and for that reason it is hard to know if the GPS signal is locked. I will log this in our systems, and hopefully there will be a future update that will fix this issue. To be sure it’s turned on, go in on camera - push menu - and see if GEO-tag photos are switched on.

Do bear in mind that if you're indoors, GPS Satellites may not be detected. I have noticed that when trying to use a car navigation program inside my house (Testing purposes only....I hope) there are no or only 1 satellites detected. However, upon going in the car and using my phone while my dad is driving, GPS boosts to several satellites and pictures are all tagged with GPS location and street level info too!
So I've recently published an application to the Android Market and I'm trying to get the app to pass Amazon's approval process, but they keep citing a force close bug on only the Motorola Atrix, which I don't have access to.
If anyone could help me out with testing the application on an Atrix and could possibly send a log or something, that'd be great. We could do some tweaks and then send it back to you to test again.
Really need your help guys.
The application is called GPS Phone Tracker in the Android Market; I would post a link, but this account hasn't reached the post threshold yet. Sorry!
If you're willing to help, just let me know in this thread and we can get started.

To be more specific, the bug would occur when you click on the map button at the bottom of the main screen to view your (or your friends') positions on the map.
If you can get to the map without a force close, then maybe only the stock rom is affected by this bug.

Thanks a lot! I assume you sent the bug via the force close dialog, so it will show up in the dev section of the Android Market, correct?
As a side note, we've been trying to use an Atrix virtual device to debug the app and have had trouble launching it because the virtual machine doesn't like some of the GPS calls or something. You guys are helping me out a lot.
Anyone else that wants to try, it would still help to have a larger sample size.
