I installed Google Goggles from the Martket the other day.
Its loads but after going through the first couple of screens it disappears (I guess it minimizes as i dont get any force close message).
Is anyone else having the same issue or is it working for you?
Same issue here im afraid.

It also happened to me, it worked fine until I upgraded it
Same here too.
It was working on mine originally but since I updated something it now fails as you describe.
I was messing about using it with a USB camera which worked fine btw.
I posted about this on Modaco and some ignorant tw**t posted a sarcy reply about why would I want to use it anyway with a front facing camera
Probably doesn't work unless you have a fake location set (like Google Earth).
Tried with fake my location running still not working!
I got my N10 about a week ago. Updated to 4.3, unlocked & rooted, still running stock ROM. When I run GPS Status, it gets a GPS lock pretty quickly however the compass doesn't work. It just points forward with no orientation or pitch/roll. I installed another compass app that I've used before & that doesn't work either. Is this happening for anyone else? I'm concerned it could be a hardware issue, but I did notice that when I use Google Maps, the compass seems to work and the orientation is fairly accurate. Google Sky Map works as well.
I've restarted the device several times. I've uninstalled/reinstalled GPS Status. I've wiped cache/dalvik. I want to assume it's just a app bug, but I haven't seen anyone else reporting it. And the app was updated just last week.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestion on other ways to test my N10 to rule out that it's a hardware issue?

I have the same problem on my Nexus 10. Upgraded to 4.3, device not rooted just stock. Have you found an answer?

No I haven't. Even emailed the developer but never got a reply. However I discovered that if I go to Menu > Radar, the compass will release & rotate. Switch back to Status & it continues to work, at least until you close and restart the app. Hopefully if enough people report this, an update will fix it.

Thanks for your help. That works OK until you restart the app or reboot. At least I have a working fix and I'll put a comment on the developers web site. The app works fine on my Samsung S4 - maybe its a 4.3 related problem.
Thanks again.
Has anyone had problems with GPS fix at all? I was using my Z1 in the car today with TomTom Go and I was getting problems with it losing GPS positioning. The app would just stop updating location. At first I put it down to it being just another bug in the app - it seems pretty buggy. But after giving up on TomTom and using Google Maps that app also reported loss of GPS fix, even though it had a good clear view of the sky. So I suspected a hardware fault. But at a traffic light I managed to pull up the app GPS Test and it showed good reception with 25 satellites in view and 13 in use - yet no fix. Which suggests to me there is some error in the GPS software handling. This is the one problem I have had with the phone so far, anyone else?
No issues with my GPS, Sigyc works like a charm!!!

No problem with the GPS with mine.
Try the app "GPS Fix" it always fixed GPS issues with my N4
Had this problem already 2 times, rebooted the device, and error is gone, it's not very stable in terms of software, my Honor 6 was much more stable in terms of software, only the ui sucked bigtime
I seem to have serious GPS fix problems. None of my navigation apps works correctly probably because GPS system loses fix for 10 or more seconds at a time for unknown reasons.
I can have pretty good satellite situation with great 3D Fix:

And a moment later with satellite situation almost the same there's no fix for several seconds:

I need to test it more, but I'm quite unhappy at this moment. Any ideas how to fix that?
No problems.
GPS used quite often and works OK.
Works perfectly fine with Google maps
Cleard GPS cache (with some GPS Fix app), rebooted and GPS works as intended. Problem solved.
No problems with gps

I have got similar problem. Waze or any GPS nav is loosing GPS signal. I have monitored via GPS app satellites nad signal is generally very weak. Lasting long time to connect and during navigation is GPS for application dropping. While signal in Waze is lost I was checking with GPS app and 3Dfix was lost.
I'm really pissed and sending phone back for repair...
Do you have same experience somebody else...?
- PS: I have rooted phone with king root but can't tell if GPS worked well before or not, because rooted in second minute after I have unboxed
I noticed a very bad GPS reception in larger cities and especially in my car using Google Maps. Sometimes it was losing the fix altogether and often it was way off on the position.
Edit: Tried the Fast Fix APP from Fdroid and a GPS Fix APP that suppostly clears the GPS cache. Will See how this works out.
Works perfectly fine with Google maps, here,
I have a problem with GPS to. Satellites-Signal is very good. Fix is ok. When using a Nav-app like Sygic, TomTom or Navigon after 2 or 3 minutes the signal is gone. Here or Google maps working fine. Any idea?
I've got the same problem. maybe every 15-20 minutes google maps tells me "GPS Signal lost"... And then it seems to stay lost until I close the app and open it again. Very annoying, especially when you're in a city and got a lot of turns coming up -.-
Same problem for me, I dowload lots of GPS apps to try to fix it, but nothing works. Most of the time it works outside cities.
I love my Zuk Z1, but it's very annoying because I use Waze for my work everyday. If nothing is done I'll probably change it.
For information I'm in France. Can it be a location problem ?
I tried to fix the problem with many "GPS fix" app but found that simple reboot solves the issue temporarily. I don't know for how long exactly because I use GPS every couple of days. There's definitely an issue here with the GPS.
As far as I know this hasn't solution, so I reclaimed my Z1 under warranty. I must say I'm quite disappointed.
I do have the same problem with ZUI new version. I have seen the bbs.zuk forms site many peoples has reported this issue. I was using CM12 and it was working fine. But definitely it's much better than CM 12
Works perfectly fine with Google maps here too.
Only small problems while on the train, but I think that's normal.
Hello guys,
What is your feedback on the Moto X GPS ? I have mine for about 7 month and it's total trash loosing the signal every 4/5 minute can't locate me, it just horrible, been the same with offical rom 5.1 and official 6.0.1.

I use Runtastic Pro on an almost-daily basis and haven't had any issues with the GPS at all. When I've needed it, Google Maps has been pretty flawless as well.
try GPS test. On a cloudy weather my MXP seems to have trouble with the GPS. And this started to happen when I've removed few motorola apks from the system
I'm having GPS gliteches as well, it started with the 6.0 or 6.0.1 Update...
My XT1563 seems to have GPS issue as well. If I don't use GPS for a few days then the GPS is very spotty, can only get 5-6 fixes at most, and the signal would be lost every minute or so. But after using the GPS for about 20-30 minutes then it becomes very stable. I'm not sure what's going on.
today i made this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713 and locked satellites in secs.don't know if fastergps app makes the same and didn't test it much time to see if signal is stable...
Recently picked up the 6P (still stock on lastest FW) and have only one issue with it.
When I am steaming audio over bluetooth in my car (usually using Play Music), if I wakeup/unlock the device, the audio stutters/lags for a good 5-10 seconds before going back to normal. Once awake, dragging down the notifications menu can cause a similar effect though less pronounced. If I turn the screen back off, it goes back to normal instantly.
I don't have any other BT devices to test this on, but I've not had this issue with any other androids in my car. I also don't see any "lag" issues anywhere else. Before I unlock and root this thing, any ideas on how to fix it on the stock rom, or is a custom rom not likely to fix this either?
Appreciate it.

It's a problem at the source code. It's says it's been fixed on Developer N preview 3. So when N is released publicly it should be fixed. Or you can join the beta program. I have preview 3 running now and it's pretty solid. I don't use bluetooth audio though, so I can't say if it is indeed fixed. If you do try it be sure to enable OEM unlocking in Android dev settings just to be sure you can save your device should anything happen. Also check the list of supported apps so if any app you rely isn't supported you can decide from there.

Hey! I just found this post. I have had the same issue on my 6P since receiving it in November. I was stock until just a few days ago, now just running 6.0.1 and xposed. The issue fixed itself right after I wiped and rooted, but is now back. This is odd because booting my phone into safe mode didn't fix the issue, so I'm thinking it's not caused by a specific app, although I'm yet to try it.
Since you mentioned you don't use other bluetooth devices, this problem ONLY exists for me in my car audio, a 2015 Chevy Cruze.
If you don't mind me asking, what car are you driving?

I have the exact same problem with my 2015 Chevy Volt nav / stereo system. I never noticed this issue until I updated to the Android N release a few days ago. It always happens when I turn on the screen. I rooted and went back to Android M, but the issue is still there. I'm guessing that's because my phone now has the latest baseband and radios instead of the older ones that did not have this Bluetooth problem. If you guys come up with a fix let me know. I'm thinking of flashing the Android M radios to see if that's the problem since I'm now running a custom Android M based ROM anyway. I tested the phone with my wife's 2016 Mazda CX5 and it has none of this screen on stuttering garbage.
UPDATE: I went ahead rooted, installed Pure Nexus ROM (6.0.1-20160821), installed ElementalX-N6P-1.21 kernel, flashed bootloader-angler-angler-03.54.img and radio-angler-angler-03.61.img from angler-mtc20f-factory-d62de11e.tgz, and after all that the issue is still there! What a complete waste of time. What I'm guessing might be the problem is I switched to Sprint on July 2016. Before that I was on T-Mobile and I never had this screen on stuttering issue. It seems there might be some type of interference here and it's possible it is a hardware design flaw since Google has not been able to fix the issue for quite some time. As of now I've switched to my LG G5 phone which has no Bluetooth issues with my Chevy Volt. If I don't find a fix soon I'll probably sell the Nexus 6P and wait for the newer Nexus devices.
FWIW, I have the same issue with my 2014 Chevy Cruze and my HTC 10. Ran across this thread while hunting down a solution (unsuccessfully, this far).

I figured out that if I uncheck Message Access for my Chevy Volt under my phone's Bluetooth settings, the screen on stuttering is fixed!! Everything works flawlessly with my wife's Mazda CX5 so it must be a Bluetooth compatibility issue. Check it out and see if that resolves your HTC 10 issue with your Chevy. Good luck!
I have found a somewhat reliable fix - PLEASE tell me it works for you all as well.
Hopefully we are all familiar with the problem: A Nexus 6P ( Or whatever is the issue for you) is paired with my 2015 Chevy Cruze that I use to stream audio while commuting. The audio is more or less fine until the screen turns off/I lock the phone. Once I unlock the phone or a notification wakes the screen up, the audio stutters over my car speakers until I turn the screen back off, or 6-8 seconds has passed. This doesn't happen with any other device I own when paired to my car, and my phone doesn't have the same issue when paired with any other bluetooth receiver. I am on a rooted but otherwise stock 6P running 7.0.
I do not use my car for messages, only music/podcasts and phonecalls. I went into the bluetooth settings while driving ( I do not recommend you do this while your car is in motion) and noticed the stuttering was consistent the entire time I had the menu open. This prompted me to assume it must have something to do with the phone making other bluetooth actions while connected to my car, that my car didn't like.
I clicked on the gear for settings next to my car in the bluetooth paired devices list, which pops up the menu that lets you change the name of the device, and what it is used for. My options are: 'Phone Audio', 'Media Audio', 'Contact Sharing', and 'Message Access'. I denied message access to my car the last time it prompted me, but the last two on the list were still checked. I unchecked both of them, reset my phone, and crossed my fingers.
It works. It freaking works. It's not 100% and if I flip the screen on and off over and over again it'll still get a little wonky, but I no longer cringe when I have to unlock my car in the phone.
Will the rest of you give this a shot and let me know if you have similar luck? Best wishes!
Josh

You're totally right. I discovered this on my own right about the same time you did apparently and I wanted to make sure it lasted before I made a post here. You deserve all the credit, I'm just so happy it's fixed. Now, I am curious if it'll still stutter a bit if you turn your screen on and off really quickly a few times?

Seems that GM vehicles are a common denominator too! I have the stuttering with my 6P int my Holden Cruze. Didn't have the issue with my old Nexus 6 and don't have the issue with the 6P when making calls over BT. I haven't listened to as great deal of music from the 6P over BT except in the car so can't really compare there.
It's interesting to read a comment that it was going to be fixed in M preview 3 but even now in Marshmallow release the issue is still there.
Hi, been suffering with a stutter in my Mercedes every 20mins with a 5X on 7.0. Again, seems a common problem with Mercs. I tried EVERYTHING to fix this for months, including full phone wipes and flashes.
I just fixed my issue entirely, not sure if it will work for you guys, but I believe it is an issue with the BT bandwidth that the car is able to cope with. I turned off Phone Book and SMS Message Access services and my issue is gone. I think the phone is maxing the bandwidth with A2DP and as soon as a sync is requested for phone book or message = the problem arises.

Interesting. It certainly does feel like a bandwidth issue. I have a Moto360 and has tried turning that off but hadn't thought of turning phone functions off. I don't really want to do that either but will try it to confirm.
I turned off phonebook and SMS but it made no difference to me at all.
I have noticed a Terrible shutter from my device when paired to a portable BT speaker. at times the only fix is to turn the speaker off then back on. it is horrid.
