Hi guys,
Encountered a strange bug on my rogers GS4 and the exact same issue on my GFs Telus GS4, both stock roms, unrooted.
When using navigation and driving, to save battery life I usually like to turn off screen. You still hear the navigation talking. The problem is that when I turn the screen back on, I am presented with the lock screen. Putting the pin in, logs you into MAPS but the blue route is gone, there is no blue route anymore, you just see your position moving. The voice diractions still work. Opening other screens and moving back into navigation does not return the route. Entering new or same route, without fulling exiting navigation, will crash maps completely.
Any ideas?

Hi all. I am new to the forums (although have been lurking some weeks) so a big hello to everyone.
I have a few issues with my hermes/tytn (a T-Mobile Vario II). A bit of background: I have installed and upgraded latest radio, bootloader, and LVSW to the device. It has a 2gig SanDisk MicroSD.
After my fifth soft reset today, I feel it is time to ask a few questions
1. My device keeps crashing. When I load contacts, slide the keyboard out, use internet explorer... pretty much anything. It seems intermittant so is hard to pin point. Is this what having the latest software entails? or is there something seriously wrong somewhere? My initial thought was that it must be something i've installed running in the background. All I had was spb weather and spb GPRS monitor. I have uninstalled both to no avail.
2. LVWS doesn't come with a task manager. I understand that this was due to problems with the default/MS one. That's fine, no problems. But after I open 5 or 6 programs -- bearing in mind my device seems already prone to crashing, it really bugs me that they are still open even though I have pressed the 'X'. Does everyone just deal with this? Am I the only person that wants their software to close when it's told? (i have tried iLauncher, that has working 'Close' buttons, but I dont like it).
3.I was just talking on the phone over wm6's built in voip client and the damn thing put itself in sleep mode. This killed the conversation. I press the power to get the phone back to life and it lights up but is frozen. You might say this is because the voip is a new feature, but i'm pretty sure it has happened on a regular voice call. Any ideas?
4.Is there anything similar to windows' Wireless Zero Config? I want to be able to walk around a town and be notified when an open AP is found. I would also like to be asked if I want to connect to it. Am I asking too much?
If there's nothing available, is there a market or a need for this? I am a programmer for a living so could probably create something...
5.My alarm does not go off. I presume this is because the damn thing puts itself in sleep mode. Any solutions bar turning off sleep?
6.I used to have a bunch of little squares/icons of recently used programs on the top of the start menu. These appear in horzontal mode (keyboard slid out) but not vertical. They used to appear for both modes.
OK. So there's my list of annoyances. Any solutions would be GREATLY appreciated. I am a first time PDA owner and I *think* I am converted. When this device is working it's great, i love it.
Many thanks,
AP

I flashed Dark Unicorn Resurrected v2 and then updated to v2.5 exactly as instructed. Everything works amazingly so far, but one issue I am having is with the GPS. It refuses to lock on. Because of this, I can't use Navigation's turn by turn directions, which I use quite frequently. I installed FasterFix to see if that would help speed things up, but no luck. I've let it search for over 15 minutes and still nothing. Hasn't locked on since I've flashed. The notification bar pops up with the "searching for GPS" but disappears after like 3 seconds. I'm wondering if it stops actively trying to search.
Any help/advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!
I really need to get my post count up so I can ask this on the appropriate Dev thread.
Try reflashing the rom.
First time I flashed it, I wasn't able to use bluetooth. I could turn it on, see its mac address, but could not find any devices neither be found.

I haven't had gps issues on 2.5 but I did on previous versions. I would try the gps fix that is posted in the second post on this page by sckboy78 and 0.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670207&highlight=gps+fix
just click the link under all fixes in one place.
The 'read this first' doc will explain how to do it. If that doesn't help they are discussing gps issues and their radios in these posts in awesome's thread:

Hope this helps!
Ever since the update, while navigating, if I turn the screen off, the navigation automatically ends. Upon turning the screen back on, if I try to navigate again, maps will glitch and shut down. Is there any way I can keep navigation on in the background with the screen off like we used to be able to do?

Hello, navigation worked fine on my new phone for the first month, after that I have serious problems with my LG G2. Whenever I navigate on google maps, my location does not change; it says "waiting for location" however, Google Map tells my location within seconds. My problem is limited only to the navigation. I think the word for that is LOCK (Gps icon does not turn white on Lg g2). Is it a software problem or a hardware problem? I have tried all the GPS fix application and it does not seem to work. Please Help.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.

Good luck
Howdy. So I've got a t-mobile S6 running Looper 2.0, 5.02, rooted. The problem I'm having is that my GPS will not activate in any kind of navigation app, specifically Maps or Uber until I actually start performing turn by turn directions. The location indicator will only show in the status bar when doing so. Clicking on the target reticle does nothing. Maps has full permissions for location (checked in app ops) as does Uber. The damn phone just never turns the thing on. Once nav starts though, it's fine.
I've tried reflashing the zip, wiping data, etc. Nothing seems to help. It's gotta be something I'm missing, and I can't find any hints or tricks no matter what I google for. Anyone have any ideas?
Ugh, can a mod move this to the regular S6 QA forum? Not sure how I managed to post in this one.
