So i have the new google maps (5.0) and i am getting a gps lock in seconds but it never gets directions.
I let it go for 30 mins on the way home today an it never loaded directions. I could see my location behind the scene following my location perfectly.
Anyone else experience this?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck.

I had this problem too....I had to uninstall and reinstall the previous version of it I had in titanium backup.
Well I decided to change kernels...I'm on jt's superclean .9 rom and I went to rom manager and installed 11/11 stable kernel and now the new maps are working. I'm not sure if that was my fix but it's working now.
i just heard on IRC that this is rom specific. and seems to be doing this on sonofskywalker3's roms. you could try to change roms and see if that helps. me... i'm gonna stay and wait for an update. I love how my phone is set up and everything,

I had the problem on his... But I decided to do a full wipe and clean install of it... did NOT restore maps (from backups) and all was well.
ps. I did not previously do a full wipe when i first went to his...
It will not work with the Skywalker roms, I tried everything. It does however work just fine with the jt superclean and the 12/16 release. ( I put on the voodoo5 )
This is going to sound lame, but can anyone shed light on how to actually LOOK at the map in 3d ???? I know they don't have it here in LA, but I looked up San Francisco, and still no dice.
What am I missing ????

Froyo. In the help section or the description of google maps in the market says u must have 2.2 and multitouch screen which fascinate has.

To start this off, I want to say that this is an awesome community full of great people willing to help others. It takes this sort of open source sharing to come together for the greater good. That is why I want to make a thread to document my experiences so that it may help others and myself.
As of yesterday, I started using froyo 2.2.2 by joshkoss. This update is probably the best of all of them and I like it much better than 2.2.1, which is what I previously had installed. Having said that, there are still some problems, which I almost find enjoyable to discover how to fix.
Throughout most of my updates, my GPS has been slow to connect. Finally on 2.2.2 it is impossible to establish a connection and everytime I turn on GPS it always asks me to 'Accept' or 'Cancel' the agreement. I've never had this happen before. Anyone know what to do about that?
Beyond this issue, I wanted to try this fix by ciscogee. I have gotten all the way to the point on ADB tools that in my cmd prompt I can type 'adb devices' to show me my devices serial number. For me, it ends there. As soon as I can figure out how to do this fix step by step for a beginner I will type it out in this thread. I am using Android SDK.
Another problem with this 2.2.2 update is that my banking app no longer works and it force closes right after start up. Then when I try to send a report, that also force closes. It worked on 2.2.1 so Im sure it has something to do with it.
So as of right now this is where I'm at. I hope I can help some people out with their Continuum. I just dont have the detailed knowledge of the inner workings to really bring something to the table, but I hope to at least help someone else out and learn something in the process.
My Wells Fargo app quit working when I switched over to EC07 and I haven't been able to pinpoint what the problem is. I posted my problems in another thread, but basically I had several apps that were FCing when I tried to use them. I did logcat on them, and based on the errors I got from there, I think is has something to do with the apps trying to access data either over 3G or wifi.
Never got any further than that though.
That's weird. Did you have problems reporting the failure? Ill have to try out that log app and see what I can find out. Hopefully ill have something later today.
Anyone else have problems with a banking app? Mine is comerica bank.

I tried the hacked browser and it didn't change anything on my phone. Both the stock browser and TB's hacked one FC as soon I tried load a page.
One thing I did notice though, was that the browser would let me surf the web just fine. It was when I tried to log into any account; Wells Fargo, Google, etc.,that it would FC. Don't know if that means anything or not. Wonder if it is the same reason some banking apps aren't working. Could it have something to do with using secure connections?
Just a thought.

I get what you're saying about the force close on secure connections. Ive only had a force close on one bank app. Never online through the web browser such as dolphin.
Was the hacked browser an internet browser?
Yep, my Wells Fargo app doesn't work either.
Same fc issue... as with the Flixter and imapmyrun apps.

Ok, after reading some old posts, I think I may have found a connection with the FC issues and certain apps. It seems that there were alot less FC problems when using the EC03 baseband vs. the EC06 baseband.
Does anyone know what the differences are between the two?
I've said it before, but; I don't know much about programming, language, kernals, etc. but I can see patterns. And what I have seen is that most of the apps with FC problems are trying to access network data, and alot of those seem to be secure connections (such as banking apps). Someone said before that it is hard to know what the real problem is because everyone uses different apps, but I have seen the same apps listed as causing problems with several different users here over and over again. So that makes me think that there is an underlying problem causing these issues.
Like I said, I don't know much, but this seems like the problem to me, and if these clues make something, somewhere, inside someone's brain click that actually does know something about this, then maybe I helped a little bit.

If that's the case, it sounds like a problem with ssl. I wonder if a fascinate baseband would fix it. Trailblazer proved that a fascinate baseband would work on our phones a few months ago

Video calling was working just fine on my XOOM until the above update so.....has anyone got an APK for the previous version that they could possibly link me to?
I dunno if anyone else uses it but today when we tried to call my dad, the XOOM just locked up and was locked in the call with black video window. Very frustrating and my daughter really wanted to see her grandad.
So, any help greatly appreciated. ;-)
This version is pretty old but its the only one that works problem free on my Nexus One

Funny you say that, 'cause about an hour after the update I made a ~10-minute Video call to Israel (and one later within Cali, a lot less interesting ) and it worked flawlessly, w/o even any sync or lag issues.
Did you try rebooting? I'm rooted and overclocked, but I suspect that's had very little to do with my good performance.
Well i managed to track down 2.5.0.160 which seems to be the one i had prior to the issues and all is well again.
Thanks for responding guys.

Hey guys & gurls,
Getting my Note 10.1 LTE tomorrow, and I'm just wondering if there are any issues that I should be aware of before turning the great device into an even greater one with the help of everyone here.
Any info would be great.
Thanks,
Evil.
Nobody has anything to tell me?
Cheers,
Evil.
there arent any issues for note 10.1 so you should not be worry about anything
Yep, in Australia all I can find is the 16Gb version of the LTE(4G) model... This is too small, I need at least 32Gb...:crying:
No problems using the LTE10.1 here in Germany either. Apart from it being addictive. And the disruption to meetings while folks check out the handwriting to text.... or in my case, scrawl to text.

I'm sure there is a free app to help with this.. apn.. something something.. search in play and I'm sure it would be there..
Well actually I couldn't help myself.. this will back up and then restore your apn..

Its free too and highly rated so should be fine.
Ill look into flashing 2.3 tomorrow so will update on how that apps plays out for me but don't forget your trlco can help too. Customer support should be able to txt you the settings and once the message is opened it auto fills the setting for you. We used to do it for customers back in thenso surely even the telco themselves should have an app that solves it??

Hello
Little history: I bought my phone yesterday, and i'm shocked with de poor wifi. So I back to the store do change the device, but th saleswoman said I can't change it, because of the contract that I've signed with Claro (Claro is one of the mobile operator in Brazil, and I bought this device through a fidelity plan). So I decide to fix or brick this **** and buy another. Fortunately, I think I was able to fix it and my pocket thanks it.
First of all, let's clarify somethings:
1 - I don't know a **** about developing, so don't blame me with don't work. I'm sharing this solution (that worked for me) because I'm extremely grateful to XDA since of my first day in Android. And to fix this **** that Sony makes (haha!)
2 - As if I say, it's worked for me; My Wifi is detecting more networks now and don't disconnect them. Range is better to.
3 - If I can, I'll help, but I don't know a **** about developing (again!), and I hope that the real developers will come here do help who needs.
4 - I'm in 12.0.A.2.254 firmware (rooted) (BL Locked - I'll unlock it later to teste custom roms; just waiting a feel days because of factory issues)
Ok, let's go
I did it:
1 - root following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933
2 - I downloaded that Rom for Xperia L (I think that is the same wifi devices on both phones) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419042
3 - extract the file 01_____C_n_T_JB_4.1.2_15.0.A.2.17_V1.zip\system\etc\firmware\wlan\prima\WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini and put in somewhere of easy acess
4 - copy to your phone through root explorer
5 - Reboots
AGAIN: I don't know how to developing; I don't know if it will blow my phone or whatever; I just works here.
Thanks to serajr, for his amazing rom for Xperia L (I had one, but a mother****er stole it. It's a great phone. Better camera than Xperia SP)
thanks to DooMLoRD, for allowing us to root this great device
and thanks to you, that you understand my bad english
***If it posted in wrong section, please move it***
***Sorry if I forget someone in credits, just thanks to all of developers involved in XDA***

Well ok, you convinced me. I will try it out as well later tonight and will post results
At the moment my Galaxy Note II gets 2 bars at 10m distance with 2 walls.
While Xperia SP gets only 1 (or no bars at all) at distance of just 5m and one wall.
Where?
Where exactly should I put this .ini file?
Thank you
Frankly, I don't see any difference. I have the same signal power and the same problems with connection drops as I had before.

Well, in order to fix this problem, I searched the web a lot. I found many fix for it, but none of them works. I found a topic that says to overwrite this files and a lot of peoples saying that works, but not for me. So I tried this way and works.
I think it don't work for all devices, Like the lastest update solved the problem of wifi for a some peoples and not for other. Maybe something related to the region and the model of phone (5302/5303/5306/mh35)?
