Hi, I am having some GPS navigation issues and I just wanted to see if anyone could shed some light. I am running deck 1.0 with tiamat 3.3.7, which I just went back to from 1.2 hoping it would solve this, but no luck.
The issue is, I get a GPS lock with GPS status, then I use sprint telenav and it loses the lock. Google Nav locks on immediately. However, I use my phone to listen to music in the car all the time, and Google Nav has a problem on gingerbread from what I understand in which the music gets muted but the nav voice is silent. Without music playing the voice is fine. Telenav's voice works fine when music is playing, but for some reason telenav is treated as "media volume" so you cannot adjust the volume of the voice relative to the music you are listening to, they are the same volume control. Google nav allows the navigation volume to be adjusted. So, I'm kind of stuck- telenav does the voice fine, but no GPS lock, Google nav locks GPS perfectly but no voice. Any ideas on a fix or one of them? I don't care which I use, as long as one works! Thanks.
Try downloading GPS Status from the market and use it to delete the A data
open GPS Status menu-tools-manage A-GPS state-reset and then download the A-Data file
This fixed the lock issue with my google maps and nav after flashing Ultimate Driod 3.3.1 with the Tiamat 4.0.3 kernel
Thanks, I use GPS status constantly, and it showed a lock, but sprint nav was losing it. I just did the driver replacement and it seems to be working, going to test it on the way home. Does anyone know a fix for the Google navigation voice issue when music is playing? Sprint navigation's voice level cannot be adjusted, so if a song is quiet and I need to turn it up, then the nav voice is screaming. Google allows you to adjust "navigation volume," which is separate from the media (music) volume, but as I said, the voice doesn't work if music is playing, even though the music gets muted and the nav volume is up.

I just read something about that being a hardware problem with the Evo, I don't think there is a fix for it but you may Email kushdeck and ask him if it's something he may be able to fix in his rom.

Which issue is a result of a hardware fault?

It had something to do with not being able to get a gps fix while playing music on the Evo. I just read someone else's post and thought I'd mention it.

"If you're having gps problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems and getting a lock ain't one" lol
Try updating to the latest tiamat 4.0.4 and maybe cm7 #86 nightly GPS is promised to work! You could also nandroid to sense and do the "fix" and boot back to decks.

Im pretty sure that kushdeck's Evo Deck 1.2t is based of that CM7 nightly and brings the same fixes and changes but i could be wrong. He can get a gps fix but cannot play music and get turn by turn directions simultaneously.

Have you ever tried doing any of this on a sense based rom or on the stock sense? I'm not that knowledgeable on too much, I saw the problem you were having in the thread post and thought I would share what i had recenctly read on the Evo Deck post. You may want to share your problem on that thread. Maybe someone with more insight on such things will be able to help you.

I've done the sense fix before- the issue isn't not being able to get a lock, it is sprint nav not getting a lock, even after gps status shows the gps is locked on. I also have faster fix set to use the north america server.
google nav is locking, but the lack of voice directions while playing music is the issue. I understand it has something to do with the audio architecture of gingerbread and implementing lower latency audio, although I have no specifics on that as I don't know much about the way android handles audio. I do know that on froyo it was not an issue.
I just flashed deck 1.2t and tiamat 4.0.4 and it seems good so far, sprint nav got a lock without me using gps status, but I was sitting on my couch. I'll test it on the road. mapquest works pretty well too- it gets a lock (or seems to, there's no indicator) and the directions seem good, but if sprint will work then that's the one I really want to use.
Hopefully the tiamat 4.0.4+deck 1.2t will have solved the issue. Thanks for the responses.
That's interesting about not being able to get a lock while playing music. I don't usually have music on yet if I'm setting the GPS, but it may all be related. I'd love to see a way for sprint nav to have it's own volume adjustment separate from the media volume that also controls the volume of music. mapquest is the same though. I'm not really sure why google nav has a navigation volume and the others don't.

I used sense on froyo, first rooted stock sense then warm 2.2, and I didn't have any GPS lock issues or navigation issues. However, too many other things I like about gingerbread to go back to froyo...I used warm 2.2 to do the ##gpsclrx# fix, and the gps was working well, it is only recently it stated having these issues, since going to gingerbread. I'm sure things will continue to iron out, I have high hopes for the latest deck+tiamat combo. I'll report back tomorrow once I've had a chance to try it "in the field."
I know the sprint telenav supposedly has some weird issues with cm7( or aosp based roms). I wasn't even aware you could play music while using the sprint telenav.

I'm glad to know you've made some progress and hopefully that will be the end of your gps/navigation trouble. I intend to update to 1.2t also but im thinking about trying out the godmode v8 kernel.
Sent from my Decked out Evo
I was using godmode kernel last week, but I really missed SBC. We'll see, my phone was thoroughly wiped this time. I'm having a few weird app restoring issues, we'll see what's up with that, titanium isn't playing nice today or something. The fun of aosp is in the fixing! I use linux too, so I guess I'm a glutton for punishment...helps my critical thinking skills though.
I may have made a breakthrough just now, I will test it when I leave for work at 1:30. It seems that the google navigation volume issue only occurs with certain music players. I was using mixzing because I need to be able to browse folders. It was reported that the stock music app did not cause this behavior with google nav, nor did some others. I downloaded meridian player, which has folder functionality also, and through headphones the google nav came through loud and clear and then the music resumed. If this remains true then I am happy. sprint navigation is still not locking, even though GPS status was showing a lock accurate to 4 meters, google nav and mapquest both locked right on. So, that's where this is at right now. I'll report back later.
I never even thought to ask you what music player you were using, however I was going to suggest using a different one. I just assumed you were using the stock android music app.
I've heard others complain about having issues with titanium backup on this rom as well. I myself have never had any issues with it so far (knock on wood). I have the pre version but that shouldn't matter. I have had problems with with other apps and the rom itself, but that was from not doing a complete wipe before flashing to a newer version. Now I always wipe everything because setting things back up to the way I like them is better than my phone being buggy.

I just noticed the low voice volume on Google Nav while playing music on PowerAmp. I use my ROOTED Evo's Nav daily and I rely on it. G.N. and P.A. Worked fine together the first half of my day, then I went for it and I did the Rooted GB update during my lunch and noticed the lack of volume on the voice guidance that interrupts the music while running together right away. I have not tried any other players yet since I love the quality of PowerAmp. I'm going to ask around but as for now I'm going to assume that some of these music players have not had the chance to update for GB yet.. Unless anyone here has a fix for this I have not read about yet?? if so please let me know. otherwise I will wait for an update.

I've noticed recently that after the Android 2.2 update for the Droid Incredible my music just stops completely while using Google navigation. I have to manually start the music again from its paused state every time the navigation system starts to speak.
With android 2.1 I used to be able to have the music playing and then when the navigation app needed to speak it would either just mute my music or pause it then speak and afterward resume the playback.
Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm not rooted btw with the stock rom from the Ruu that was released.
Has anyone noticed this?
Should I have just posted this in the Q&A section instead of general?
I've seen this as well, but not in every case. For example, music stops playing in Pandora, but continues in Mixzing. I'm not really sure who's the culprit in this case.

Emptied my wallet for bTune.
bTune works fine with Google Navigation and Calls, but won't works with Google Actions.
It just keep on going regardless.
Battery life is the only thread that keeping me from going back for now, to 2.1 that is.
I have noticed the same thing when using Pandora. It's a little annoying. The only work around I've found so far is to mute the navigation voice over. Not my favorite solution but the only one I have at the moment.
I've noticed this as well when using Pandora. I'd love to see a fix for this.
When I ride my motorcycle I usually have one headphone in and use Google Navigation if I am going somewhere beyond what I can memorize for directions. The bonus was that I would also run Pandora over the headphones, but no more.
With the DJ05 update, is there a way to hack the speaker phone volume to make it louder? Currently, at the highest setting, it is still a little low to hear. I read somewhere that there was something that fixed this issue on DJ01 but i'm not sure about DJ05.
I have been looking for a solution to this myself. Sadly there hasn't been much progress. I was under the impression that you could allow the necessary changes to stick with a setting in a custom kernel but I'm starting to not believe that. If it does work, it hasn't shown up in the forums to my knowledge.

I tried a different dj05 kernel trying to get the volume hack to work, but I had no luck. Went back to di01 until a workaround is found. I'm just afraid that not enough people realize this is a problem. Not sure if a fix will be found. Perhaps if you use titanium backup to save a copy of the audio tuning app on di01, then restore the app on dj05?
I don't have an issue with my speaker phone but with navigation, I can hardly hear the lady on google maps while in navi mode..
Maybe dumb question but is there a way to force the audio through the ear piece? It drives me crazy when I'm trying to watch a video and I can't hear it because the speaker is on the back and is facing away from me.

The froyo release EB01 has fixed this. Nav. volume is now much louder.

Quick question does anyone have issues with poweramp or any other third partymusic player playing through bluetooth Every froyo build I have tried always has this issue
What kind of issues? I have a moto s9 that I am able to listen to music through, but every once in a while it drops out for about a second and then continues on.
Running Bonsai 1.1.3 and I use Bluetooth Audio and HF in my Jeep with no issue. If I have my Bluetooth on when I start the Jeep, it even Auto-connects. Playback is flawless on audio and quality on calls is great. In fact, Audio out through bluetooth gives me a much higher max volume than using the 3.5mm jack and the AUX in.
By the way: I have successfully used MIUI, Slacker, Pandora, and stock player with Bluetooth.
I could not get PowerAmp to run properly under DK28, I now use WinAmp and it works perfectly.
Yeah I'm able to use stock player but I can't use power amp or mixzing .....if u haven't tried power amp try it ,it has the best eq out there ....another note on my evo power amp worked on froyo
Oh I didn't c your post duckie well I guess its a app issue that sucks because in my opinion that is the best player out in the market
Hope OP doesn't mind but figured I would ask in a similar topic and add my own Froyo questions instead of starting a new thread. (Crazy amirite?)
I used dk28 for a bit when first leaked, I've been thinking of going back now that it has been out and cooking awhile. What I want to know is if two issues have been eliminated in any roms.
1. Physical keyboard lag and missed keys were much worse on dk28. I would be fine if any roms managed to get it back to more usable di18 standards.
2. Music skipping. Ie Last.fm skipped and stuttered when you did anything with the phone other than let it idle. This was a big red flag for me as I'm an avid music listener.
Thanks.

Bonsai 1.1.3/EXT4/GB Theme... I don't see either of those problems.
So I installed that, yep, Last.fm still spits and stutters anytime you do anything but just let it idle and play music. Back to DI18.

Hey I don't know to much about last.fm but I use tune in radio and it works great on froyo. Just wanted to let you know.
Any workaround for this besides downconverting those songs I have a motorola T505 bluetooth fm transmitter. I'm sure its probably just a hardware issue on my T505 but skipping songs is as annoying as converting all those songs. Thank you

This seems to be happening with all my music, but most of/not all the time and not for a long period until recently. Which leads me to believe it's a performance issue somewhere and thinking I either need to try a different music player besides stock...or do something like logcat and try to discover what it is. I've tried many other variables for things which steal memory/CPU and nothing helps. Any tips appreciated! I run rooted stock EC05.
ETA: this happens on both my stereo BT devices, but is worse with the headphones (Sony Ericsson AW600) than the Blackberry Stereo Gateway. I get a skip every few minutes of about 1/2 a second at its most regular. Last time it appeared "fixed" was when I cleared all system caches and rebooted after a batt pull, but it returned again. :-(
Skips happen regardless of bitrate or player with my 2010 Mazda built-in Bluetooth as well. Quite annoying; I haven't narrowed down to whether it is the car or the phone though.
Of course, I get skips and pops using regular wired headphones. I hope we get better audio drivers with the GB update.
On the same boot today as yesterday, problem is temporarily gone. Only thing notable I've done was disabling and restarting BT and I don't know if that actually has any effect. It also never seems to happen while streaming audio or playing with no BT, only while playing it from the memory card using BT. Weird.
Thiss has been happening since I had a moment and I had the same music library and the same songs skip it never happens with tune in either

Just thought I'd chime in on some random recent bluetooth experience. I jog and typically hold my phone in my left hand (I use a Motorola S9 headset). The playback is fine (I use MortPlayer Music). If I move my phone to my right hand I get skips. I swear.... it's weird yet reproducible. ha.
When using my in car T505 I get no skips using any audio app.
I use a T605 in my car as well as T305 earphones. I would rarely hear a pop or skip. Now with ec05, i hear them all the time. really bums me out :'(

I have the same issue. Only happened since i asurion'd my original phone wen it was stolen... used to run eb13without issue, but with ec05 skips all the while

Has anyone with a G2 on VZW had problems with bluetooth streaming audio to their car stereo and found a workaround?
I had a G2 for the two week trial and had to return it because I just couldn't get it to work reliably with my car stereo and didn't want to be stuck with it until a fix was available because I need this functionality. It should be said that I've used a Rezound, GS3, Nexus 4, Note 2, GS4 (all stock and ROM'd) with this stereo and never experienced this kind of behavior.
No problem here.
Ok here too.
Edit: Actually, I had minor issues the first time. After I had Bluetooth forget the device and repair, it's been great.

same here...got it working last night. I think the problem was that my stereo was initiating the connection instead of the phone, and once I switched that, been fine since.
Fine for me, connecting to Parrot Mki9100
Would be nice to know specifically what the issue is that you're experiencing. Haven't noticed anything with streaming audio via Bluetooth and I've done it quite a bit.

Every time I connect a phone to the car I initiate the connection from the phone, so I don't think that's it in my case.

There are quite a few problems that I was experiencing:
One was when running TuneIn Radio, I couldn't adjust the volume via the car volume controls. Only the side volume controls on the phone could change the volume coming out the car speakers.
Another was song titles/artists were not displayed when using Google Play Music (the only other app i use besides Tune In to listen to music).
Yet another was when I tried to skip tracks with the car controls it was very hit or miss - mostly miss, as it usually didn't do anything.

The track info not displaying is mostly because of the bluetooth stack on the phone. Its much better in Android 4.3, but obviously thats no help for the G2 (yet)
Using Slacker radio I can reliably skip tracks, but for some reason the pause button doesnt work in my car unless the phone screen is on. My Gnex worked fine with play, pause, skip track, etc, so Im pretty sure its not my car. It *could* be 4.2.2 since I never ran a 4.2.2 based ROM on my Gnex, or it could be something LG-related, or both.
I know a few people returned their phones because of it, but I really think the bulk of the issues stem from the OS itself, rather than something LG may have overlayed. As such, I believe its fixable, and probably will be fixed with third party development going forward. I think I own a copy of TuneIn Pro, so if I get a chance Ill try it out. Also make sure you are using the newest version of the app too, since some apps release fixes (and breaks, even) for bluetooth control stuff.
