[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
So what about trying the latest version of Condemned, I think you said you're on v13 and there's a v23 now? Without looking I don't know what kernel v23 uses. The OP for the GSB ROM says it uses an unreleased kernel by Conap or something like that. Even if you don't stay with the ROM, it might be worth flashing it or some other ones just long enough to see what the in-call volume is like.

After all, it stands to reason that if v13 doesn't have a sufficient in-call volume for you, then maybe it didn't for a lot of people and that v14 through v23 of Condemned have fixed it. I didn't have any problem with the call volume in GSB.

I'm currently using the Evervolv ICS ROM. I love it, but mainly because it's the only ROM for the Eris I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot) in which using the GPS doesn't eventually crash the phone. I use the GPS a lot. But this ROM probably isn't for you, the camera doesn't work right I don't think. That ROM's author did release a new kernel for the Eris, the only released .35 kernel for the Eris, all others are .29-based. However, it too has problems like the proximity sensor not working and I think the camera is even worse maybe. I went back to the .29 kernel (the OP has links to both kernels ROM independent so you might want to give both a try. I also don't have a problem with the call volume with this ROM. Make sure and do a nandroid first!

Thanks for the suggestions I found my answer http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797785

I have Condemned CM 7.2 V23 (2.3.7) R.I.P. as one of the ROMs I have on my SD card seems for one or more reasons I stayed with the other version I got I will check it out this weekend. Take care.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Great news then, I hope

Have you actually used those files (from the thread you mention) yet, or is that one of the things you're going to do this weekend?

FYI, that's what Volume+ does (changes those two files), only it might take additional fiddling with settings in order to find the right combination for whatever phone Volume+ gets run on, whereas the settings in these files are more or less tried and true good and hopefully safe specifically for the Eris.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
Dsp manager will also work adjusting the volume levels. If you decide to try volume+, I would recommend uninstalling dsp manager with ti backup. Otherwise you could have fc issues on one or the other.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangerboy77:
Thanks guys

I tried Volume+ it did not change in call volume but the zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797785 did seem to change it so now I think I am good to go. I do have be careful to not have volume all the way up because of distortion and possibly blowing the speaker.

Good you found something that works. Yeah, I think I blew my speaker in my first Eris, had it replaced under warranty.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadamehr:
Dear all,

Can anyone tell me if they are able to use Google Maps, especially for Navigation with Satellite Imagery turned on?

I have a terrible issue whereby after about two or three minutes of driving, first, my location freezes on the map (though notable is that the voice commands stay current and correct based on actual location). Then, the screen starts freezing, jumping, jerking, and generally MASSIVELY GLITCHING and flashing in a completely unviewable state. The voice commands however stay correct. It's just as if the device cannot handle 3D rendering of the imagery at all.

Now here's my big issue...

I am now onto my THIRD Galaxy S3, and this issue is reproduce-able 100% of the time, and over 100% of the devices. That is, it does it every time, and it does it on any and every Galaxy S3 I try to use for Google Navigation. And my devices have deliberately been a mix of some White, some Blue, some from one supplier, some from another.

So what I am asking, is are there any users out there that CAN actually use Google Maps Navigation fine on their Galaxy S3...

By that, I mean for a proper period of time, over a proper journey, deviating away from the set route, and with Satellite Imagery layer turned on. EVERY time I do this, on THREE separate devices, the display goes haywire. So I am trying to establish WHERE the fault is... is it phone software... is it phone hardware (I prey not), or is it a Google Maps issue (you'd think they have noticed by now if it doesn't work with the SGS3 though...)

The only saving grace is that it points to a Maps issue, as when using my NatWest Banking App, to locate ATM machines, when dragging the map about, it freezes terrible, then eventually crashes (just as Google Maps natively does for me a lot), and then eventually FC's... and the underlying mapping it uses is, yes, Google Maps.

So I'm after any feedback at all here.

But worried that it's 100% of the time for me, and on no less than THREE Galaxy S3's I've had so far, mix of white and blue, and mix of suppliers and locations...

Any comments please...?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstarrynight:
Similar behaviour to what I see on the galaxy note after the so called ics update. Everything was fine on GB. So could be an issue with ICS. Because of that, plus a few other critical issues, I'm now an ex Samsung owner.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
I have the same issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Try an older version because I'm using v6.1.1 and no problems so far.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisun:
I have experienced crazy flashing and also a black screen while using Google Maps Navigation. It occurred about half way through a 30 min journey. I've seen it happen on both my girlfriends S3 and my own. Also, satellite layer was off.

Could be a bug caused by Samsung's graphics drivers? I hope its fixed soon. I'm currently on IMM76D.I9300XXALE8. There has been no OTA update for me yet and I am in Australia.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstarrynight:
Well, that's the end of the S3 for me. The GPS using Google maps + Navigation was (is) a major feature for me. It worked so well on the SGN under Gingerbread and totally corked when I upgraded to ICS. Now I see the S3 ships with ICS and you guys have exactly the same issues.

I spoke to my retailer and went into great depth over what went wrong post ICS and they have noted EVERYTHING and has given me a full refund for the phone. This was my fourth device, Samsung cant/wont get it right and I want no more. I have no idea what my choices are for now, I'm using an old motorola clamshell whilst I ponder. I would recommend anyone having issues with the S3 or Note, just send it back to your retailer for a refund. The product is flawed and little will be done until Samsung see devices returned by the lorry load.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
I have a white s3 (UK sim free) with lf2 and 6.8.1 Google maps. I've been using Google maps navigation for 2 weeks as my work pda (with built in tomtom) has been returned.

I've used it all day, 5 days a week, making at least 6 journeys per day with no issues.

I tried it today with satellite view and that too works with no issues. Worked ok with shipped firmware too. Le8 I think it was.

I have had the map jump around/flicker before when turning on a layer but exiting and reopening maps sorted that.

Hope this helps :-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstarrynight:
That was not my experience under GB. Under ICS My experience had nothing to do with layers, and reopening maps is not an option when driving, also, that is not how the software should be behaving. So you too have a faulty unit. ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
I have had similar random bugs on GB and froyo (since my sgs 1) and to say the 1 out of 50 times I use maps it may crash - means my s3 is faulty?

I don't think so

You do realise navigation is still in beta?

Last week Google introduced a bug which killed latitude, few days later another update fixed it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstarrynight:
We both have different experiences. See how you get on with the S3. Personally, I paid top whack for a flagship product and it doesn't work as it should. It also has the faulty eMMC chip. Under GB it never crashed once, under ICS, its so unstable as to not be reliable and not performing as could reasonably be expected. As I say, see how your S3 goes. I'm certain that not all units will display the same characteristics, but its clear some are. ;-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Thanks, wasn't aware the eMMC chip issue was present in the s3, I'm sure I ran chainfires app to check when I first got it.

I shall bear that in mind when flashing, seeing as my s2 died a horrible death because of it :-P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadamehr:
Firstly, a BIG thank you to ALL who have contributed to this thread.

Could I ask that those with issues though, tick the poll to say so, as the comments in the thread indicate lots are seeing this issue, but the poll indicates most are having no issue.

Just to add to my own original post though, to say that today, on two separate journeys, Google Maps Navigation worked FINE for me, but with the SATELLITE LAYER TURNED OFF.

That is, standard mapping, and I had no screen issues.

So this only seems to happen when Satellite Imagery Layer is turned ON. In which case it does this 100% of the time for me, across 100% of three different S3's so far, and let me be clear, is so bad, the application is 100% unusable (unless you navigate by voice prompt) as the screen is either entirely frozen, or glitching permanently and incessantly, the whole time.

So my next question though is this... if this IS only a Google Maps Software issue, how exactly do we reach out to Google, to tell them that GMaps is not working, with the latest flagship Android Device...?

Also, as best I recall, I never had this issue with GMaps on my SGS2's both running ICS. But it might have been an earlier GMaps version.

Now, how would I find an earlier GMaps version, to see if that works...?

(Finally, as an aside, why does the SGS2 running ICS, score higher/better scores for 3D graphics, than the SGS3 does, using either Quadrant, CF Bench, or AnTuTu... surely the SGS3 should have BETTER 3D hardware...?)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
I tried v6.1.1 and working so far.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstarrynight:
I doubt it is just confined to GMaps as other issues crop up, not just with me, but other guys on this thread and elsewhere. How to reach out: Android = Google = Gmaps. Samsung are in bed with Google. Throw the phone back to Samsung and use the forums, eventually they will roll over and tell Google to stop snoring, get up and do something. Oh I wish. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ash99:
Hi,

I'm having similar issues but I get the screen locking on both Google Maps and also Sygic Maps.

Anyone else having this issue with more than one GPS SAT NAV software ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstarrynight:
It shouldn't do that. Faulty unit, send it back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inquitus:
I dont use the Satellite version of Navigation very often, but when you select walking directions it defaults to the satellite map. I was out cycling a couple of weeks ago and selected the walking directions, the satellite map got stuck and glitched exactly as per your description.

The reason your poll is soo heavily weighted as a no is it dosnt mention this issue is specific to using the satellite map.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadamehr:
Just a brief note to say that I too tested an OLDER version, 6.1.1 today, and found that it worked fine on the three journeys I tested it on, with Satellite Imagery turned ON.

So well done to that man - and whilst it still could be a combined Google/Samsung to blame flaw, it does give hope that it is software only issue, that can be fixed with a new version of Google Maps.

As for the point about the poll appearing flawed as it does not specifically state "if Satellite imagery is turned ON", then very good point - my bad!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadamehr:
Contacting Google about this issue:

I've reached out to Google in the only way I can think of...

The following Support Forum thread:

http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/mobile/maps-earth-latitude/IlJDfMkgl3U

Hope it's ok to share it here. Mods, if not, please delete the post, not my account *lol*

If anyone else is seeing this issue, can you post there too?

That's not taking anything away from this forum, or attempting to gain anything from this - it's just that this is the ONLY way to let Google know about issues.

So please post there, if this is ok with the Mods here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstarrynight:
That is a very good post, and thanks for making the effort. I hope the Mods do not delete it. I'm sure they wont. We all have to make whatever contribution we can to get the product right. In essence, both the SGS3 and SGN have a uniqueness that is not repeated by any other manufacturer yet. I have tried to seek alternatives that satisfy my needs in the way the two Samsung products can potentially do, but there are no realistic options. However, in their current state, I'm keeping my wallet firmly closed until Samsung/Google get it sorted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rimsy:
Same issue here (on my second handset - had the same issue on first handset though phone was returned for another fault). Not restricted to navigation though - just using maps with satellite turned on results in screen spazzing out after a few minutes and after exiting and restarting it happens again after a few mins use.

Hope the problem gets fixed soon!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenithUK:
Good old XDA-dev for highlighting a problem I've been experiencing.

I drive 150-200 miles a day using Gmaps 3-6 hours a day. I've had this problem hit me out of nowhere so many times I've lost count.

It happens irrespective of:

good signal or no signal.

on charge or unplugged.

cleared tasks or multiple running apps.

hot day or cold day.

on route or off route

I don't have a way to force it to happen 100% of the time, but if I run it long enough it will happen eventually.

I have O2-UK branded S3, build IMM76D.I9300XXALE8

Gmaps 6.8.1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstarrynight:
Yup, roll back the software, or roll it back to the retailer. In a shell, those are the only two options right now. Only if you roll back to GB, you void the warranty, that's what Samsmug told me, so I went for option two. They loose.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pootown:
I'm missing the 3D funtionality in Navigation. Maps work fine but when i get directions and go to navigation it stays in birds eye view. Then yesterday it was doing the same and I got the screen flickering for the first time.

I use this alot and really need my 3D nav.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
All the problems with satellite imagery and driving are caused by the data connection simply not being able to download that huge amount of data due to changing between cell towers etc

The way to overcome this to some degree is to pre-cache the map tiles for your route at home over WiFi if you can, and if you use a cache cleaner exclude maps!;)

The alternative is to not use satellite imagery as recommended.This is how it was designed to operate, it is a mobile phone not a dedicated Sat nav :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Additionally, it may also be the maps.apk cache may be up to the brim and needs a clear, I would just stick to the plot and not us satellite imagery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenyw:
I have had this issue in a recent trip, where the map was glitching and appeared to be flashing between two different renderings as I drove, this was happening both at motorway and city driving speeds. The underlying GPS appears to be working OK as I was still getting the voice instructions and the distance to the next waypoint was still counting down correctly.

Fortunately it was a route I was already familiar with and I could just switch it off, as the flashing was getting distracting.

Using Maps 6.11.1 (latest) and the latest OTA for my phone/region (XXBLG8). Stock, unrooted.

I'll try clearing the map cache, though and see what happens with the next trip.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thkam:
I have the same Google Maps flickering issues, with 2x Samsung Galaxy S3. I was using HTC One X prior to SGS3 and it was ok except that HOX has horrible battery drains and the touch screen cracked at top right corner due to unknown reason. I reported to HTC and the support was hopeless. I took it back to the reseller and they graciously replaced it with SGS3. However, the new SGS3 started to have horrible battery drain and WIFI connection failure after one week. It was sent back to Samsung and was, again, swapped with a new one. Both units shows the same flickering issues. Apart from this, it's a cool phone.

Mine's still as bad as ever.

@Slaphead - no that's not the issue mate, sadly, as it can do it using standard maps on rare occasions too. It's a Graphics/Drivers issue for sure.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Hi guys!

I have struggling with this issue for 2 months, had 2 RMA's and nothing helped. My Prime would only trickle-charge when I plugged the charger directly in to the tablet. It would charge just fine through the dock. Now figuring that Asus couldn't help with this I planned to fix it with some XDA-help and a friendly instrument technician (hereafter known as IT).

I watched Doktaphex's videos on how to open the prime in buxtahuda's thread about opening the Prime, Thanks a million:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1479664&highlight=opening+prime

I also checked the pinout thread by bjohnston115, alot of help there! Thanks two million:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1630300

Now here's the short version on how we did it. After we opened it, which was not at all as bad as i had thought, the IT checked the ground pins, no problem there. He then connected the charger and measured "power" pins, no problem there either as they had 15v coming in to the motherboard. Now I thought I was busted! But why, when it charged fast through the dock over the same pins?

Well just before I closed it up I remembered seeing in the second post of buxtahuda's opening Prime thread that there was a switch in there to turn off the power to the motherboard, so I did. Kept it off for about 15 seconds and turned it on again, booted my Prime, LO AND BEHOLD it's charging like a champ.

After 2 months of mayhem I am now in Prime heaven again, don't have to drag my dock around everywhere as a charger.

I'm also seeing some improvements in other areas but I have to do some more testing before I draw any conclusions.

If there's any questions feel free to ask!

Thanks to everyone that helped!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
So you are basically saying that cutting the power from the mainboard somehow resetted something that survived everything else?

Did you try to simply wipe before?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
Sounds like a capacitance issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:
Yep, it could have been an issue with a Capacitor. I'm almost sure that keeping for 15-30 secs the pin-hole button pressed will have the same results. Since that button what does it cut the power to the Prime.

Next time try doing that before opening it :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Well, are we sure that the button actually physically cuts the power? Could be some one-time trigger relais too. Or just a pin pulled to ground resetting the SoC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Oh yes indeed, thats exactly what I'm saying! I have wiped earlier both due to brick (got back with your help by the way, thanks) recovered through fastboot and flashing the full wipe zip. I have done every possible reset. In the two months

I've had this I think I tried everything before I found this fix
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
At least that might explain why "pressing the mighty reset button" does good stuff to a lot of primes...

If it really acts in a similar way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:
Im not 100% since I have not opened my Prime to actually test what happens when it is pressed.

But you can keep the button pressed as long as you want, and the Prime wont turn on until you release the button.

If the button was an one time trigger, or something to just reset the SoC it wouldnt keep the Prime off as long as it is pressed :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Okay, but if it pulls a special "reset-pin" to ground or 5V or whatever then it won't turn on as long as you press it.

(This is pretty common on micro-controllers, not sure about a SoC like the Tegra)

So it's either this or a complete cut off, should be rather easy to find out with an open Prime.
