Navigation and Market updates both broken

This must be a joke.
Navigation in maps 5.0.0 is broken. It is "checking for navigation availability" constantly.
The only fix seems to be uninstalling the Maps update in Market Place, which is also broken as of the 2.7.7 update. It FCs on anything.
Many people are relying on Navigation to get around this holiday. Both signature apps are broken.

Not broken I had the same issue you have to open gmaps before navigation will work. Hope it helps

Not broken..
I have Vending_2.2.7.apk (Market), and Maps 5.0.0.
And work flawlessly ever since a manual software update.
Depends also the kernal or rom you use. Maybe i dont know... i updated to Netarchy 4.2.1 and everything works on my Evo HD rom...

That worked for me! I did a bit of research and was lead to believe that the Navigation was a widespread problem for which the only solution was deleting the file data or rolling back the update, neither of worked for me. Thanks for the tip!

I can't rule out the rom being the problem. I'm using Fresh 3.5.0.1. My research lead me to believe the problem is widespread among Evo devices. I'll check back in the thread for Fresh to see if they have come up with a solution yet.

Glad I could help I had just flashed to cm6 and had that issue just glad I was able to spread the little bit of knowledge I have.

Sometimes when i started the Navi, it would force quit. Got to work a couple times, but i think the update screwed it up. Using the Sprint Lovers ROM.

i revisited the instructions for the Fresh 3.5.0.1, followed the notes for the Market FC problem and fixed the problem!
i got caught up in the discussion on the thread, thinking that the first post wasn't state of the art. i was wrong.
moral of the day: try the instructions before doubting.

Ive had problems regarding installing apks and flashing things.. thats why im always reading various posts regarding the same exaxt instructions..
The 2.2.7 market apk was leaked before the update, so i downloaded it and used Astro to Upgrade the market..

market rant - No more facebook!

Okay, I was going to complain before, but held off. No longer.
It's stupid that the market totally blocks programs that it "thinks" you can't run.
Right now facebook, which I've been running perfectly fine for months, is now marked incompatible with the note.
But a big warning/disclaimer if you have to. But totally block?
It's just plain annoying, especially for apps which 99% work.
1/21 edit: it was my modified dpi

Works fine for me

yea, but you can't download it from the market anymore, which is going to annoy any new purchasers.

Same with google voice search which I have on the phone already but themarket seems to think I don't have it installed and when I try to instal latest version from market it tells me not compatible with my device and can't download it.

No such problem for me. Just to sure I uninstalled Facebook, rebooted, and reinstalled from the Market.
What happens if you try and install from market.android.com? Does it show as being incompatible?

yea. can't see it at all in the market on my phone. on website it says my mytouch4g is compatible. and not my note.
strange how it works for you - perhaps its regional? I haven't actually looked for the app in the market for ages. many roms ago, hah.

i found that reverting to stock dpi, 320, fixes this problem. i think its uncompatible if u set u to non standard dpi values.
im pretty sure thats how i fixed mine.

240dpi works instead of 320dpi, can't do something like say 284dpi however, not only will you find you can't install some new apps, but i found some apps mysteriously uninstalled themselves from my phone when i set my note to non standard dpis

Mine even more horrible.

Applications not ready for jellybean?

So, this tablet is a great purchase don't get me wrong but the more I play with it the more I see force closing, freezing, and lag. Just not as snappy as my phone. My question is, is it the tablet or is it jellybean? I know jellybean is brand spankin new, so could this be the reason why these apps are force closing? Facebook and ALL browsers I've tried are the worst. And also for some reason it freezes a lot just when I go to my settings. Very annoying waiting for the simple stuff. Let me know if I'm the only one please. Thanks

Im the opposite way. all my apps run smoothly. I may get a bit of lag once in a blue moon but it doesnt bother me. Chrome is also very quick too.

Well if you ask Rovio, it's jelly beans fault. I asked them about Amazing Alex not being available and got:
"Unfortunately Nexus 7 can not be added to the compatible devices due to its non standard way of reading the game's manifest file. This is something we can not change, it's up to the device manufacturer and Operation System manufacturer."

Amazing Alex is running beautifully on my N7. Available from Amazon App Store, so that pretty much makes that last post a complete fabrication of fact.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I also thought that Amazing Alex being incompatible seemed weird given that it works on Tegra phones...
A load of applications just don't seem to be ready for high resolutions, and don't look right. Given that this device has truly taken off I imagine everyone will start to include 1280 layouts.

I'm grabbing stuff through the Play Store onto my Tab 2 7.0 and the using ROM Toolbox to make a backup, then sideloading the backup .apks on the N7. So far everything has worked just peachy. Probably my number one annoyance at this point with the device. (Previous number one annoyances were "Why is this thing so hard to root after the last OTA or is it my Tab 2 drivers getting in the way?", and after that it was "How in the world do I get Flash to work, why is Dolphin HD not working with Flash?")

You guys should email Rovio.
Amazon Appstore doesn't have strict device policies for apps, so that's why you were able to install it and find out it works fine.
The Play Store, developers have tons of settings for device policies on apps, so they can exclude some devices, or can automatically exclude some devices (and they don't even know that it did).

Funny, it wasn't available for download from the Play store as of last night. I guess Rovio must have updated the software?

I agree that what Rovio told me is bs, as sideloading produced no issues. I was just saying what Rovio told me.

Rovio is the developer that created Angry Birds. Amazing Alex is from the developer Rovio.

Why is there yet another thread about app compatibility? Are these people all fresh and new to Android or something? Relax, the OS just launched, give it a few weeks - this is ridiculous now!

Even though YouTube app runs, it is indeed incompatible. Go to Play Store, you won't see it under your "Installed" list. You can't search it in Play store either (because it's incompatible with JB).

Is spotify supposed to be working? I ask as I cannot get the search feature to work at all and so am limited to playing my playlists only.

Amazing Alex HD plays fine here. The only game I found to run like crap is the Not-So-Amazing-Spider-Man.
-Its probably Tegra drivers and not Jelly Bean's fault.

I can't get Google Wallet to set up!

I am having issues getting Google Wallet set up on my Nexus 10. I just received it today, and it sits on the "Setting up Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes" screen for what seems like forever, then I get a message "Device Not Ready-Wallet is unable to proceed until this device is fully initialized. Make sure the phone has network access and try rebooting it if the problem persists", well the network is 100% A OK, and the device is fully initialized, so I'm not sure what the issue is, and I have rebooted it a few times and even cleared data and cache on the Wallet program, to no avail. Is anybody else having this issue?

If your under a custom rom, that could be the reason why its not working. I have Google wallet on my rooted stock SG3 and it says unsupported device but it still works.

It's the stock ROM, just rooted, unlocked bootloader and recovery.

It still won't set up as of this morning, it's not a hardware problem because the NFC works just fine, I guess I'll have to talk to Google.

Well, I fixed it! I went into Titanium and uninstalled it, installed the version in the Play Store, and then opened it up and WHAM, it worked! Maybe the one on the device was corrupt, or uninstalling then re installing cleared out some errors, what do you guys think?
Edit-I don't know that I'll use it on my Nexus 10, as I have it installed and working on my SGS3 (AT&T), but it's nice to have the option, and it was bugging me not being able to get it working lol

Glad you figured it out! Sometimes its as simple as uninstalling then reinstalling go figure.

Just wondering... Why do you want Google Wallet on your N10? Do you have the 3g version and carry it around all day?

Coolness factor
In any case, my wallet seems to be stuck also on "Setting up Wallet". I've tried CM10.1, some other custom ROM, and stock, and tried a few different wallet apps on CM10.1, to no avail so far.
Edit: My NFC still appears to work; I can wave my credit card near the NFC sensor on the N10, and it'll make a sound.

Try uninstalling wallet with titanium backup and reinstall from the play store. Worked for me today on my rooted sprint galaxy nexus.

Tried your suggestion and it let me sign in and setup a PIN. However, it errors out when trying to add cards. It also says that I'm using an unsupported device (Nexus 4).

I'm having the same issue. I've tried everything short of editing the build prop as some have done in the past with other devices (I have a nexus 4), and probably would even do that if some other person with an N4 did it and had success. Tried multiple ROMs and multiple versions of Wallet with no luck. I either get the "Setting up wait 5 minutes, device not initalized" issue or the "request failed" at the add card error. Put in for a replacement yesterday, so hopefully the new one doesn't have the issue. If so, then we know that there are just some lemon N4's out there.

first, I got this wallet apk from the dev paulobrien here at xda. I don't have the link to his site at the moment. now, onto the fun stuff. to begin with, uninstall any previous wallet app. next, using root explorer drop this apk into the /system/app directory and change the permissions to match the other apps. now, reboot and enjoy the odd looks of cashiers when you pay with your awesome tablet!
I found the link for anyone who is wary.

navigon usa does not work

Hello, I am able to download the navigon usa (4.6 or 4.7) onto my rooted galaxy s4 without any problems. However, I can not download the map for individual states for some reason. I have tried with almost all custom roms, and I have never successed. It used to work really nice on rooted galaxy s3. Can someone please shed some lights on this? Thanks so much.

Google maps not working good enough because I find it to work perfectly on a rooted stock or custom ROM. What's your main gripe with maps

The reason I have to used Navigon USA because it does not use my data and it uses satellite. That's why it's convenient. Thanks.

Navigon works fine for me on the S4 with both stock & AOSP ROM's. But it has been a few weeks since I've had to download any new maps.
Could be their server is having issues. Or maybe your account with them is having issues?

I don't think its server has problems since I've been tried everyday for the last few weeks. I've used to install on my rooted Galaxy s3 without any problems at all. Whenever I've tried to install on my rooted Galaxy s4 and I kept getting this message 'the download may take some time due to the size of files involved..... ....' What version are you currently using and where can I download it for free? Thanks so much.

Oh OK I didn't know that thanks for the info
