Google Navigation - Voice is "lost" (wrong directions) - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

I'm having an issue recently with Navigation. To fix the issue, I have to clear maps data/cache but it comes back 1/2 days later:
Issue:
Navigation turn on fine, but when the voice speaks the directions, it keeps repeating the 1 single direction (from some past navigation session possibly) over and over. So even if I have to turn left in .5 miles, it will say "continue straight for 2 miles). When the turn comes up, it will again say "continue straight for 2 miles). The pattern keeps repeating. So right when its supposed to say the correct direction, it just repeats some old nonsense.
Any ideas?

Uninstall and re download

I think this happens when you restore Maps data from a backup. Did you use Titanium?

No I did not. Works a couple times, and then it happens. I then have to clear data/cache to make it work again.

Google maps keeps force closing

hey guys, I don't know what happened but about 30 min ago, every time I try to open Google Maps I get the Force close notification.....anybody have any ideas of how I can fix this? I tried restarting the phone and uninstalling and reinstalling updates but nothing has helped
It's happening to me too. Started about an hour ago. It doesn't happen every time, but pretty often. Since we're not alone, it sounds like google has changed something server side that's sending data that kills the client.
oh pheww.....I thought I was alone lol
not to seem like an a-hole and be happy it's happening to you....but just sayin....haha
Thanks... I was a little worried myself, I installed the wifi tethering mod earlier today and thought I might have screwed the phone up.
Weird! Just started happening to me too. Thanks god for this forum and the search button, because I almost just began the nightmare of trying to figure out which new app or kernel I installed was causing this issue. Guess ill wait now since I'm not the only one. It's probably a Google server causing a problem.....
Same here, just started a little bit ago ... I don't think I can leave the house safely if I don't have access to google maps!$%!
edit: Just a possible fix ... I uninstalled and reinstalled and so far so good...
Are you guys using a modified rom?

I uninstalled/reinstalled didn't help, but if I use WiFi it works fine. Weird.
Me too, except worse - my entire phone freezes up and I have to pull the battery. Not an east or safe thing to do while driving. Started happening about a week ago. Anybody know why?
Forgot to say. Stock ROM on my Vibrant.

Stock Rom here too. Just started doing this to me today also, but only when I use it on the wifi on 3g its fine.
uninstall the google maps update and it will work for now. Google broke it and they will fix it.

Have you guys tried factory data wipe and reset?
*2767*3855#
I got the crash only when WiFi was turned on . I uninstalled all the updates and am not getting it anymore.
Mine not forcing close, but a black screen "force me to shut down and boot the phone manually".
Everytime I opened google map with GPS on, the phone hanged and I needed to long press the power button to boot..
That is an issue I have seen with lag fix installed...i had to odin back to stock install lag fox then install apps...fixed all my fc issues on stock and other roms...anyways food for thought.

Updated today but still black screen when GPS is on...need to restart the phone manually everytime!!

rebooted itself at home screen

I have researched this and could not find anything that applies. A few minutes ago after moving through several home screens but not selecting anything and no apps selected, I set the device down and lo and behold it had apparently rebooted without having been turned off and without the usual tmobile etc. happening on screen and was in the final stages of reboot with the Galaxy logo. This had to have happened in a matter of 1 or 2 seconds or less. I am stock but have rooted with the one click root. I have removed some bloat ware but nothing else has been done and only removed what was considered safe on other threads such as the bootup sound and telenav, amazon mp3 etc. This was all done about a week ago with no apparent issues and the device was operating in its usual smooth fashion. Prior to this I have had no issues except for the GPS. Is this something I should be concerned about and does anyone know what could have caused this? Any and all comments will be appreciated.
Delete all personal data, cache, after that it should turn on completely, but market may not work, you may need to download google apps, the same thing happen to me when I open google maps, the whole thing frooze on me

yea i got same bahvior but now it seems fine.
I have seen this for quite some time in 4.2.2. Touching images and then back to web gets it searching.
Been on Android for almost a year. I like it, but get the feeling that testing is not their long suit.

[Q] Nexus 4, Force close loop on all apps, Help?

Last night my phone was working perfectly and i didnt install any new apps yesterday so i dont know what caused this to happen...
At about 6am today i turned on my phone. it was all fine until i unlocked it. When i put in my pattern it unlocked and it showed a few of my icons for about half a second and then it came up with an error message saying that the launcher had crashed so i pressed "ok" and it came up again so i pressed "report" and then it said "market feedback agent has stopped" and went back to the launcher and came up with the first error again.
i was just thinking about a way of getting around all the errors to install a new launcher so then i could use my phone. i plugged in my earphones and used the button to start playing my music, then i unlocked my phone and quickly opened skype before the error came up again and then i went in my notifications and i could open Play Music from the notification, i had a notification for an app update so i clicked it and it opened the play store so i installed "go launcher ex" i tried going into my recent apps to change my song but it said "system ui" had crashed, i tried to get into my settings but that crashed too, i worked out that it was most of the stock apps and a few others like bbm that werent working.
device specifications:
Nexus 4
Android 4.3
Rooted
Stock rom
Stock kernal
I dont know what to do without losing everything? thank you for any help
rebooted already? This usually fixes a lot of probs.
cheers
This is happening to me to. I fix it by clearing the ram or closing all open apps. But it happens like once daily now. Any long term solutions?

same issue as here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513412
just different description... Just cleared google service framework data... will check back in on that thread after tomorrow morning and let you know if it works.
Same here. Bone stock and I don't even shut the phone off but overnight something happens to it and all apps crash. It sucks because it was my morning alarm but the clock app crashes without sounding the alarm.
If I reboot it will work perfect till the next morning, then all over again. Wiped and it still does it. Called it in and Google wasn't aware of anything so if you get this make sure and call Google so they know its widespread.
I cleared services framework and it solved it. So far, 2 days without infinite force closes

Same thing happened to me today. I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, clear dalvik cache and reboot. Been fine since.

That did not fix it for me.
I got the infinite loop the next morning.
i tried re-booting but nothing happened, i had to go into recovery mode and reset my phone. now i wish i made a backup.
I haven't been getting those major crashes yet but after a while I can't open any apps or they "stop. " I think it has been happening ever since I returned to stock for the kit Kat update. Closing all the apps sometimes fixes it but that ruins my favorite part of the phone which is I can have all my stuff open all the time.

You guys should try fastboot flash system... I was getting these crashes awhile back and flashing the system.IMG solved it for me. You will not loose any data either

Freezing every 3 seconds after 4.4.2 update

I just updated via kies 3 to 4.4.2. My phone has gotten to be incredibly slow. The screen is literally freezing every 3-5 seconds.
I have wiped the phone already once and issue is still there. It's freezing on every screen, settings, home screen. . I have not even linked my Gmail account so no apps there. Literally finished 2nd factory restore as I type and it's still lagging. This is basically unusable.

Have you tried a different launcher to see if that does it as well?
...
Mine does that from time to time. I boot into recovery and clear the cache files 2 or 3 times, then reboot. Mine did it the other morning trying to come out of sleep mode. It took 10-15 seconds for each touch to show on the lock screen.

Well it's not happening just in the launcher. It's everywhere. Browsing Web, photos, settings...
I may have found the problem to be the S view case. Has anyone else experienced such issue with theirs? I'm using a generic case from eBay. I took the case off and immediately the phones performance was back. And today I put the case back, and immediately it started lagging. I covered the metal terminal with paper and taped it to prevent it from activating and all is good.... Not sure if this is just a coincidence that it happened.... Will have to try out for a few more days. If not, it's going for repair.
