I have been been flashing the nero v3 and axura roms. The problem is I can't get passed the checking navigation availability box even though I get locks from GPS test. The funny thing is the Nerov3 touchwiz edition works but not on the gingerbread theme rom. Axura rom is also the same problem. I did perform clean wipes before installing each rom. What could be the problem? Thank you.
Im on nero v3 and used navigation 2-3 times in the last two weeks without a problem. Do you odin and wipe? I just odin before flashing a new rom and usually don't have any issues that aren't rom related.

I always use odin to go back to stock and then flash new roms. I don't understand why it's getting hung up even though when I ran a gps test, it locks on. This is frustrating. I had gps problems before and now it's fixed. Now the damn navigation can't even get passed the checking navigation availability screen.
Try this, go to applications, force stop maps, wipe the cache, restart the phone. Go into maps first and wait for everything to load up correctly. Then you can exit maps and enter into navigation and it should work for you. That fixed it for me, good luck
I also had this happen to me. What fixed it was finding a place in "maps" and then hitting the navigate button in there.
Thanks guys. I tried going into maps and using the navigation and it worked.
Hello guys. Please ..I have this same problem on my nero v3 rom. I have tried the solution proffered in here by going into maps, selecting a location, but can't find the button or option 'navigate'. Please can you direct me on how to achieve this because I need the navigation to start working. Thanks.
Type address under search maps. Then click on the bubble that has the address. Then click on the second box that has an arrow pointing to the right and then click driving navigation. It should start the navigation.

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

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.
Hrm.
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?
Edit: Apparently I am not alone:

Yes..... says starting download and then it never starts! Ahhhh whack a mole for devs lol
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...
Starting two updates ago when I use maps it works great but if I choose navigate it works (I get everything except the map it self is black)
I am running Fresh2.0d
any ideas?
I had the same problem awhile back and I ended up having to do a wipe/reflash. Works great now.
I have the same problem, two or three updates ago everything was fine, now in nav it is just a black screen and it often crashes.
Fresh 2.0d w/ LWP
same here, was just gunna post as well...i really hate to flash right now, I'be been using fresh since the 13th of april and this is the only snafu.....

This is caused by the workaround done to our OpenGL to get the LWP working. The workaround breaks google street view so the navigation will not work correctly. Fresh put up an "undo" file that you can flash to revert back to the stock Hero OpenGL here: http://link.geekfor.me/openglundo . Unfortunately that "undo" will make it so that most LWP don't work, so you have to choose whether you want to be able to use LWP or google navigation.
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..

Anyone know what fixes Market apps not downloading very first time you start download?
What i mean is when i first install a rom and try to download an app from market it gets stuck on "downloading" but wont download apps,apps will download eventually but it may take few minutes or few hours to start,and after the first app downloads successfully market functions without problems.
I know there is a trick to make it download quick first time,but i dont know what it is.It used to be clearing market cache or syncing gmail but that doesn't work anymore.There is a few roms that i used that have this problem,gotta be a fix for it.
Wrong forum

Yes wrong forum but you can answer the question (assuming you know if not apologize), but what i do is when i first boot up on a new rom, i open up the market, then it will auto send me to sign in after i sign in and everything syncs up i restart the phone. When the phone boots back up, i open the market let it sit for a little while then go to menu -> downloads, and usually my previously installed apps are listed i try to install one if successful i have no market problems(btw this was all done over wifi).

You can try signing into google talk, this fixes the initial lag, might fix this too. Sometimes I cancel and restart the download a few times which eventually works

No. This is definitely the wrong sub-forum for this thread. This sub-forum is for ROM/Kernel development.
This belongs in General.
Does this forum have a dedicated Mod? If we do, we need a second.

Hopefully you don't have a lot of important stuff, but wipe your phone completely and reflash the rom you like and try my steps.

No,my market is working fine(i don't mind waiting for first download to go through",i was asking because someone was having this issue on kanged rom that i posted,so i wanted to see if there is quick way to start first download.I will try your method next time i flash and see if it works.
I've had this issue with every rom i've tried, except for the baked snack one, and i've tried just about every rom ;p
The workaround i've found is..turn on wifi.. open up the market place and let the icons show up in your notification bar.. then turn off wifi. Works flawless for me everytime.

I upgraded from 1.6 ATT to 1.6 02, to 2.1, to 2.2 (1.4.6) last night. My GPS is no longer working...I've searched the forums and only found this:
Get "GPS Status" from market; then:
1. Menu --> tools --> Manage A-GPS State --> Reset.
2. Menu --> tools --> Manage A-GPS State --> Download
Which I tried, but still not working. Anyone have ideas or a fix?
Thanks!
Hi there,
I had the exact same problem...
Tried the exact same thing as you and had the same luck.
It seemed that it was something to do with Geolocation as i saw that the GPS status was picking up the satilites.
I then stumbled around and found the following fix myself
I use beautiful widgets.
Tap the weather icon, the tap the middle button (opens up the configure section etc)
Tap configure, then goto advanced
Select FORCE GPS.
Then it worked, although after that I may have found another possible solution....
I very rarely use the google search bar. I did and it asked me to enable location, so maybe this is another way it would work... would be interesting to see if the second fix works first.
Anyway hope this helps & good luck
Tried enable location in google, no luck. Also downloaded beautiful widgets, went to advanced in weather app and checked force GPS, no luck. Any other ideas?
I take it the gps app is picking up the satilites?
Maybe its a case of re-flash

I have the same problem. It seems somewhat temperamental after the update. It can see and get a fix on 10+ satellites in GPS Status and other similar apps. But getting an accurate position in Google Maps is damn near impossible. Very frustrating.
Works on my updated streak stock froyo, just disabled a-gps; both Google maps and other apps using GPS gets exact fix...
