Anybody having issues? It was working fine until sometime in the last week or two. Now it is still there running, but when you press the map icon it just goes to black.

I used it for the first time today with no issues. Maps was the only app I used.
Waze or Google maps?
I just purchased the 6T and couldn't get Android Auto to work at all with my head unit. I was previously using an Asus Zenfone with no issues. It ended up being the cable. I replaced the cable I had been using with the factory cable, and everything worked as expected.
I'm not sure what is different, but there appears to be something "special" about the factory Oneplus cable.

good morning,
got my arc last weekend, and have tested several options last days. google maps works perfect in my car, also Sygic Aura. gps keeps working. but when using google navigation it works for about 3 minutes max (almost not less), and then it says gps signal lost. leaving it on, does not change it, but restarting keeps it working again for 3 minutes. am i overseeing a setting???
and anybody noticing when in google market i.e. that when there is a lot of white the screen, it flickers a lot??

ps further it looks a good phone compared to my htc touch hd with energy rom which i loved until now.

I haven't notice anything like that, would love to test it out tomorrow as I'm home now and there is no GPS connection here.
Regarding the flickering, do you mean very noticeable flickering or is barely noticeable?
as I can't see anything with my device, which means that you might need to factory reset or re-install the firmware using SEUS to test it out again..
but will report back tomorrow regarding the GPS
I've tested the navigation with Google and the GPS worked flawlessly for more than half an hour
So it could be your device which causing your problem or poor GPS coverage

Try another GPS app, I don't think GPS module can be faulty but its worth the try, also make sure you have more than 30% battery

Just increase the brightness above 50% to get rid of the flickering
I notice some flickering too when i'm in my room. Seems like the autobrightness working too much ?? Not sure tho.

Yes same problem with my arc. Was on a 2 hour journey yesterday, a few minutes of navigation GPS signal loss, closed navigation opened backup then got a full signal instantly, a few minutes later the same thing happened, so I rebooted the phones, this fixed the problem until 30 or 40 minutes later the phone just rebooted it self, then the same problem with navigation signal loss. I switched the phone off for 2 minutes then booted back up & navigation worked until it rebooted it self again I have just done a firmware updated, hopefully this will fix the problem????

Random restarts are fixed with 2.3.3 as for now it is a known issue with 2.3.2 from Google, Nexus S had the same problem.
I have the same problem, google navigation keep on checking for navigation capability..
I change to Papago X5, and it works fine!
Has anyone else experienced Google's Navigation crashing back to the Maps app? I see this a few times a week. Today I saw a weird artifact forming a wavy line going from the bottom left to the top right, then the app crashed. Normally it just crashed without artifacts, and sometimes the dot representing me vanishes. Tried clearing Maps' cached data but it still happens.
Generally it remembers the navigation request and after the crash I can click the blue arrow to bring Navigation back up. Odd quirk, never happens on my Gingerbread phone.

Yes Im having crashes wit googled navigation as well. When I start the app, it waits fort GPS land when I touch the screen the program closes. And the drive home widget doesn't work at all.
I have thuis probleem on my 2 nexus7 machines running Android 4.2.1. On my HTC wildfire S running Android 2.3.5 it works fine though.
I cleared the app data and cache, and I've reset it once. After those, it works fine for me. Curious.

I tried on a Qware pro 3 tablet running Android 4.03 and it works fine. And this machine doesn't even has GPS. On the Nexus 7 running android
4.2.1 the google navigation app can't connect to the GPS and keeps waiting, while the drive home widget keeps
o try to sync ( with GPS I think).
I sometimes have the N7 forget to see GPS satellites. Sometimes opening GPSTest+ helps, other times nothing. Since factory resetting it after installing 4.2.1, it has worked fine for me.
So my phone has started having random issues. Running stock rooted 4.3 and have only flashed an LTE enabler.
This morning I received a text, but when I tried to read it, I got an error that messaging had stopped. I hit okay, error came back when I tried to read the message again, it did this several times before I rebooted the phone with quick boot. A little later in the day, same problem with maps. Then I made a phone call and when I hung up, the system ui stopped. Had to power down phone.
I also noticed last night while trying to charge it in my car, it didn't seem too be connected. The charging text on the lock screen was like flickering. I thought it was the charging cable or USB lighter adapter. Grabbed a charger and appeared to be working, but was noticing the same problem with the charger.
Anyone heard of this before? Are they related? Haven't download anything recently, but maybe something updates? Not sure what direction to go to try too fix.
I have this same issue and mine happens sometimes while its charging I found out. Basically all the Google apps stop working including settings now I can access any other app just not the Google apps. The only fix is to reboot the phone. I wish my phone was still rooted so I could use logcat and hopefully catch whatever is causing this.

Have you tried different roms?
Nope, stock ROM 4.3
Bump?
Haven't had the issue with any apps closing. But it still don't charge with my car chargers. I briefly tried with a charger at home, but didn't notice the issue.
That's what mine started doing right before I got the flashing red LED of death. Sent it back for a refurb.

I received my 32G model on Nov 28. Firmware MDA89D. Pure stock unmodified in any way. Not even using screen protection or cases. Setup as a new device, not copy from another existing device. I've been getting randon freezes and crashes. When it froze, it did not respond to any touch input or any key input. The only way to get back is to hold down the power button to do a force reboot. It seemed to have settled over the last few days. What I do have on an ongoing basis is crashes. When I use Google map navigation, the phone will work for a few minutes and the screen went black followed by a reboot. It did it on 2 consecutive days already.
Is it just me having this problem therefore a defective unit or is it the OS / Software problem.

That is strange...I haven't had that kind of behavior on my Nexus 6-works without a problem-never freezes or reboots...now I know the Amazon app would do something to my Nexus 6 I don't know what but when I install it-my phone with reboot randomly or shut down...ever since I uninstalled it-no issues-for months.
Try running safe mode and see if it does it again-that way you will know if it is an app that's causing the issues. This is how it's done: http://www.greenbot.com/article/2923927/how-to-restart-your-android-phone-into-safe-mode.html
You can always try a factory reset as well....have you tried updating to the most recent factory image from Google?

I've been experiencing the black screen freeze frequently since getting the phone only a couple days ago. No other lockups however. Also running pure stock.
I too have the same issue. Screen goes blank and lock ups. Also running pure edition...
Same. Interestingly, in my case, it seemed to happen most frequently when using Hangouts.
I have another post that describes random reboot and I believe they are related. Long story short. I believe either the factory reset + software update fixed it, or it's a hardware problem problem. While I wait for the replacement, I only had one random reboot. Of course the new phone is rock solid. It's only been a couple of days. I would have a few by now if I'm still on original phone _ original firmware.

I'm having the same issue. So no random freeze leading to reboot with ur rma device?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
What I'm trying to say is don't panic and RMA your device. Do a factory reset and make sure you're on the latest firmware. Mine was OK after the first self-reboot during setup after factory reset but has been good while waiting for the RMA to arrive. To answer your question, the new device has been perfect but it's only been 48 hours.
I am facing a similar issue with my Nexus 6P, can anyone please help me with it?
On any rom, whatsoever, I get reboot when I turn the Google Maps Navigation On.
After few minutes, phone just reboots
I havent yet tried stock, any idea how can I find the root cause? I have cleared data for maps, also I have tried to uninstall maps with TiBackup and installed fresh from Play Store

Yup same stuff going on over here with mine. It locks up and reboots even after clearing cache and rebooting only a few hours earlier. Have done 2 factory resets and am on the latest OTA update. I also noticed that I have to clear the cached data every day, sometimes multiple times a day to keep device running smoothly. This really concerns me with a device that's less than 2 weeks old. I also have only a handful of basic apps( Fb, YouTube, Spotify). Really thinking about returning it. When the phone runs right its great, but all the issues make me nervous. Might be time for a Note 5? I am just getting used to this phone and would hate to leave it though. Interested to see if the first major marshmallow update fixes these problems.

Mine actually had one random freeze and reboot after factory reset then nothing for 48 hours after that. Of course I rma'd mine and I'm glad I did. Screen is on the colder side with even volume speakers on the second unit. Sending my original one back.

I'm just about ready to RMA. I've tried factory resets, cache wipes and just recently updated to the latest stock MDB08M. It was fine for a day or two but now the lockups are increasing.
As others have said, by any other metric this is one of the best phones I've had. This freeze/reboot thing is getting annoying and even if it isn't happening to every user it's happening to enough to be of some concern.
I'm facing app closures, my gmail app keeps crashing, it happened on my graphite nexus 6p, and now same thing on my frosty 6p. Its not just gmail, it's also chrome now. Maybe i should have not restored from my previous device.
what's this?
I came to this thread expecting a lot more of a technical discussion (the site is called xda DEVELOPERS after all).. but instead all i see is "oh my phone is crashing.. i'm gonna RMA this sucks) posts.. moving on to android enthusiasts on stack exchange thank you very much
upgrading to 6.0.1 fixed it!

Hi all,
My gps and maps app are acting weird since yesterday night. I tried to reboot both app and phone, but something still seems off. I also tried to switch off and back on the gps, but it doesn't seem to have worked.
Long story short: I have a Nexus 4 with factory rom since 2013. Yesterday on the way home maps got stuck twice; it would show the road, but it wouldn't show my location.
Today I have been able to drive to the airport and return, but it often showed my location in the wrong place, especially when close to exits and parallel roads.
Any idea?
Thanks!
