I don't have that issue when connected via bluetooth to my Ford Sync. Navigation works fine using either the stock player or Rocketplayer (music is paused while directions are read outloud). I'll try with Google Music.

Curious, does this happen when streaming music, when playing songs on your device, or both?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
It appears to just be while streaming from GM. I'll try to save the music on the device and see what happens.

This is the exact process that I'm using...

0) Connect to Forc Sync, ask for Bluetooth Audio

1) Open GMusic, start stream of a playlist

2) Open GMaps v7, find your go to point

3) Hit the bottom right blue "navigation" button... nothing happens. Wait 5-10 seconds and the app will force close.

Try again with bluetooth off and it works no problem. I'll try some other things tonight on the way home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] brokeassp:
anyone know how to dim the screen while on navigation? It eats up the battery hard with the screen on all the time.

I still cannot fix my navigation ending when the lock button is pressed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jeremy1701:
I cannot repeat this FC, sorry.

Does this happen with other streaming mediaplayers, such as Pandora?

For issue 1, no... The option is no longer there. I suggest using the feedback button to request it as I have done.

For issue 2, I don't have this problem. Weird. Does the app force close, or what?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Delakit:
I'm a big fan so far but I haven't used it much. Was a bit difficult trying to get used to at first. Kind of cool that it navigates walking paths. Not sure if previous versions did that. I like the GUI a lot better too. So far it hasn't crashed or caused me any problems.

:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] htcplussony:
I only got the update yesterday night. Disappointing that the ipad got it before the S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] OverHertz:
It's nice. The UI looks somewhat cleaner and refreshing compared to the old one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thatpimp007:
Still getting use to it. Seems like there are too many new features that it just takes away from the whole take me from point A to point B that Maps should be intended for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] brokeassp:
basically. another gripe of mine is that you can`t even find the step-by-step directions list anymore once you have minimized navigation nor could you reroute the way using the "avoid highway/toll" options while the current route is already in place unlike the old one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jman81:
Is there a way to get to my maps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Talex416:
Two things I miss from previos version on maps.

1. No option to set destination by tapping on the map (helpfull when you're not sure of exact address)

2. No option to increase text

If I missed it, please point me into the right direction
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] watersnatcher:
Love the cleaner UI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jeremy1701:
The option to get directions to a dropped pin still there, but slightly different. Hold down where you want to drop the pin. The address appears as a box at the bottom of the screen. On the right side is a car icon with the time below it. Selecting that icon will bring you to the directions menu with the start set as "my location" and the destination set as the dropped pin location.

I agree, it doesn't seem as intuitive as the old way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fgoyti:
Me too!! I used the zoom out button mainly. I don't mind double-clicking for zoom in, but requiring two hands to zoom out is a pain in the ass
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sextonma:
With one finger, double-tap and hold then drag up or down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ronj1986:
I don't like the new maps either...I ended up uninstalling the update & became more grateful of the previous version. The new Maps, crashed on me frequently within 20 minutes of use.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] joeybear23:
I'm actually getting used to the UI, thought the BT audio out delay is really annoying. I only get a fraction of the audio directions because the first second or so is lost.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xreflection:
I really like the new version. Took it for a spin last night to test out my new dashboard mount. It's so much cleaner and I like it better than my GPS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nacos:
- No longer support for local contacts (Google way or highway),

- No longer listing of all "My Places",

- No longer suggestions for nearby places/businesses,

- Everything is now history based - tracking, tracking, tracking!!!

- Network location services take a heavy toll on the battery,

- Lab features are gone (zoom button and measurement tool),

- Caching maps for offline VIEW is purposely crippled.

Google no longer asks, but rather they tell you what you should like...and this is being "sold" to us as an update???!!! Dictatorial ideology!!!

GUYS!!!!! WHAT IS IT TO LIKE ABOUT THIS PATHETIC JOKE??????????

I, for one, have reverted to the previous version, removed the market link with TB and will never look back at "upgrading" again...until Apple officially buys Google :rolleyes: - then I'll buy a Nokia and if they are still using Microsoft OS, I'll stop using any kind of stupid-phone (former smart-phones) altogether. Then I can go fishing and truly enjoy life. :fingers-crossed:

...just to give you an idea what I was talking about, in red letters:

- How did you like the discontinuation of Google Reader?

- How do you like the 2-line spacing in desktop Chrome browser? Just google it to see how many complaints so far!!

- How do you like Google literally forcing you to use Google+ at every corner?

- How do you like the discontinuation of Latitude (with some of its features now transferred to Google+)?

- How do you like the implementation of fused location services? Except from the new service taking a heavy toll on the battery, have you noticed any improvements? Yeah, I thought so...me neither!!

- How do you like Google silently removing your ability to access

your local contacts

- the new Maps? Would you want to put your entire life on Google's servers, just because Google says so?

- Is Google Now what it really pretends to be? What do they really want from you? Nothing, you say? Location! Location! Location! See my point?

- Are Google, Apple and Samsung (to name a few) truly business enemies, or is this just an image they want to sell to the large public?

- Google recently made HUGE changes in their API implementation, meaning that now they can make-and-implement changes with regards to all Android products (and not only) in no time - no more delays, no more middle man (service providers), no reservations or opinions. Question is: how will this impact YOU and ME with Google turning into a dictatorial beast!!

More to come. Yeah, I mean it; there is a whole lot MORE s--t to come!!

True, no one is also forcing me or you to eat GMO food, yet we all do...or take pills that presumably help...or drink so called treated water. Do you want me to go on? See any connections?

No, because this is not a forum for tin foil hat rants.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nacos:
I'm not asking you (or anybody else reading this) to agree with me, but before rushing and making judgments, could you just give it a moment and think about all that? Is any of that true? Does any of that impact you (whoever you may be) whether by choice or not? What is free today?

We are here, talking about all these, because we wanted to be here...and that's all that matters!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] burhanistan:
Dude, corporations run roughshod over all of us. It's a frightening world. But....you can use a different map/GPS app for your phone if you want to. Hell, you can even buy a dedicated GPS device that has no network connections at all if you're paranoid about such things. If you're trying for a "wake up sheeple" moment, a thread on XDA ain't the place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nacos:
Every time is a good time, every place is a good place for a "wake up sheeple" - People can only take the truth like a pill - one by one. Peace!

I have been using TomTom AND Sygic for years but since Google Maps was really good for online searching, I would always be starting in Maps and eventually land in either TomTom or Sygic for navigation - or not. Now "or not" is gone - that's it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] trueking7:
I am sadly very disappointed with the latest Google Maps update for lots of reasons. I've uninstalled the update and gone back to the previous version.

All well and good. But it keeps promoting me that there's an update available via the notification bar. Also I can't do "Update All" in Play Store or I'll end up with the updated, rubbish Maps.

Can I stop this somehow? So far I've tried unlinking Maps from the market using Titanium Backup, but it just relinks itself.

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
I uninstalled the update myself. It's just not working well. It fc's when interacting with the ibolt car app (car dock) and isn't very well designed. I realize most new large updates take a little getting use to but this is just bad developing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jt3:
I was travelling when the new maps hit, and I use my N7 as my navigation device, so I was able to put the new maps through a good test. I was a bit frustrated trying to figure out the different way to do things, and I'm not sure I like how many steps it takes now to actually start navigating, but overall, I like the UI, and the maps seem to work a bit better. I like how traffic is figured in, but I'd like an option to actually display traffic conditions while navigating, but that could just be that I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

My only real complaint was that I had no issues before the update, but I had three issues the day the update hit, where it navigated to the wrong place. The destination pin would display correctly, but it would actually navigate to some other place! I'd literally hear "You've arrived at your destination" when the destination pin was some two blocks away! It was very strange, but pretty obvious, since the displayed route wouldn't end at the destination pin, and I chalked it up to an obvious 0-day bug that would surely be squashed soon. Still, it caused some issues, since I was using it as my primary navigation device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nacos:
Maps for Android used to be much more than that!! Have you ever used any of the features from the lab - like zoom button or measuring tool? How about searching for places or businesses around any drop-point on the map? How about starting an online search in Maps and once your destination was found, you would only be pleased to see that hitting the navigation button would give you the CHOICE of eventually using ANOTHER turn-by-turn navigation app that you had previously installed - like TomTom or Sygic or many others. Did you ever get to appreciate the fact that you were able to get directions or navigate to any of your local contacts (the contacts on your phone, not Google Contacts)? When you saved your "My Places" did you ever think that Google may, one day, restrict you from seeing all those places as you see fit? If you were using Latitude before, are you OK with now being forced to start using Google+ should you still want to be able to use that service? Although Google has never liked the idea of an independent offline navigation (dahh!!), at least they have tolerated a reasonable compromise called maps caching - now, my friend, all these are gone, while some other perverse (hidden) features have been silently added.

Go on Play (on your phone), search for Maps, select all reviews, sort them by "Newest first" and take some time to browse through - that will give an idea of the sheer damage Google has made with the release of this STRATEGIC "UPDATE".

I frequently read news from dedicated reputable websites like Android Authority or Android Central or Phone Arena and to my surprise and indignation none of them have bothered mentioning anything about this HORIBLE shift in strategy and/or about the backlash and frustration that users have been throwing on Google ever since this "update' has been forced on us. WHY?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robosiris:
I don't like the new Google maps either. I went back to Google Maps version 6.14.4. I suggest those who are unhappy with the latest goggle maps release/update, to do the same.

google bring back zoom buttons !

and all settings from previous versions !

how it possible to remove existing options and bring crap.

p.s. New google maps is sucks. Have to use previous version :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rush381:
I've been on 6.14.3 forever now. My favourite feature that they removed was the little clickable bubbles that would tell you what street you're turning on to. Since nav uses a lot of data and I don't need the voice interrupting my music all the time, I like using the maps direction feature and following the little blue triangle. Then I tap on the little white bubbles to see the street names when I'm getting close.

On the new update, unless I zoom wayyy in, I can't see what the next street is going to be. Then, to keep an eye on the triangle, I need to zoom out. Maybe people don't use the maps like me much, but I just loved those little bubbles to see where I was going next. I attached screenshots to illustrate my point. If they brought those back, everything else is great. Very quick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Obartuckc:
I agree! Summed up exactly what I miss about the old version of Google Maps! Would an Xposed module or modded .apk be possible?

~Sent from my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 Badass~
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CZ Eddie:
It drives me nuts that we can no longer create a custom Google map route on our computers and then send that link to our phones and have it follow the custom route we set up.

Sure, we can create the custom route and send it to our phones. But Google Maps on the phone will automatically ignore the custom route and will use its default route instead.

Arrghhh.

Hi there, I need some help from experienced ppl, cause im stuck with my phone

Ive spend 2 days searching solution anywhere, and what I found is...for lower version of ROM need S-OFF, for S-OFF need lower version of hboot, for lower version of hboot need stock ROM...

And now the problem...my brother installed me (I was new to this) ROM described bellow, without doing s-off or downgrading hboot...everything went OK, till I found out that wifi doesnt work (phoned doesnt even have wifi mac nor bt adress). After that I found out that kernel version is still the same (was supposed to change to butteredtoast I think), well so I tryied to manually get there that kernel in hope that it will fix wifi problem (I have found this information by searching) but after succesfull instalation the kernel was still the same, so I found something about that kernel flashing needs s-off and for s-off I need lover hboot.....(its told at the start of topic).

I tryied to search stock ROM but I only found lower versions which I cant get to my phone or one the same version, but thats Asia, not Europe

So now I need to get out of this situation...at least to get back to stock rom or to solve wifi problem....but I think that all those problems are connected

[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
which recovery are you using? flash 4ext recovery from here

then boot into recovery and turn smartflash on in options. then wipe everything except sdcard and flash rom again. kernel will be flashed with rom now.

if you want to get back to stock use this RUU. it is ics ruu for Europe.

if you want to s-off your device then use the RUU above to get back to stock and then follow the instructions at http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm

Note: s-off requires you to do the wire trick and you need a livecd of ubuntu as windows is no longer supported
[HTC EVO 3D] Dudko:
Thanks for your answer, that smartflash/wipe worked fine, so finally im happy...I havent tryied that RUU now, when flashed everything fine, but I had this one RUU already downloaded and it didnt work before...but I will try it again sometimes, maybe it will work now.

But thanks again, im happy to have working custom ROM/kernel :)

Hi people

I tried to installed a theme in Clockwork recovery ("install from SD") which it said was sucsessful, then rebooted, but then it got stuck on the boot screen (the colourful X) AND the led light was on a dark blue colour . After a while I left it as that and I eventually fastbooted it into Clorkworks and wiped the data and rebooted again, but still stuck on the boot screen but the led isnt on any more.

ROM: AOKP

OS: 4.2.2
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Try dirty flashing the rom. If that doesnt work do a full wipe and reflash.

This is why you should make nandroids.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pugzlee:
excuse my ignorance but what is a dirty flash?

what do you mean by full wipe and reflash? I done a data wipe(incl dalvik cache) in recovery already, that didnt help

I have made nandroid backups but they all saved to my pc and not on the nexus, without ADB mode I cant restore the nandroids that are saved to my pc's hard drive
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Dirt flash means to only wipe dalvik cache and cache, then flash the rom.

If you have nandroids then you can push them back to your phone. ADB works in recovery mode, so go into there and run:

adb push \path\to\nandroid /path/to/where/recovery/stores/nandroids
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you always want to keep the latest nandroid in your phones storage, a copy of your latest rom and gapps, and a copy of the kernel that you are using. if not, you are just askung for issues. now, wipe data(factory reset), then flash your rom/gapps/kernel, or push your nandroid to your phone via adb.

Hi

I think I made a huge mistake when relocking my bootloader, used the "fastboot oem relock" command before anything else. I was still on custom ROM (Google edition) When trying to update firmware it wouldnt let me flash it. It gets stuck on the sending image, it doesnt give a error report, it just keeps saying sending without anything happening. I then tried to unlock my bootloader again both with the old token, and also tried to get a new token from HTC Dev. Everytime it gets stuck on the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" command. No error report, it just gets stuck at sending. Tried to leave it for up to 15 minutes without a luck.

I guess it got something do do with the bootloader version not match the recovery? My bootloader i sno locked, so cant get into recovery. I figured out that my only opition is to flash a stock RUU for my phone, but cant find anyone that works. Tried a few of them out there, both the executable desktop version and tried to flash to phone with adb commands. No luck, it just keep getting stuck. Anyone who can point me in the right direction?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
does the bootloader say fastboot USB?

if you issue the command fastboot devices do you see the phone?

Unlocking should just work.

If you can't get it unlocked an RUU is your best bet.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garman76:
My bootloader says fastboot usb in red. I can use the adb commands, and the device answears to the comands, but it's just keep getting stuck whatever I'm trying to push to the phone. recovery, RUU, unlock token, firmware.. nothing works, and it just freezes..

Need to reset phone with powerbutton for 15 seconds to get bootloader up again.

What RUU image would be my best shot based on my information?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garman76:
What does the security warning mean? It came when I relocked bootloader...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
You get the security warning because you locked the phone while running a custom recovery. Hang on a few minutes and I will find the RUU you need

Edit :

There may not be one for your cid.

Try another cable, usb port, or computer to send the unlock token.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garman76:
Thank you so very much!!

Found my old laptop running linux. Pushed the unlock token to the phone and there it went.

Unlocked again.

Knew I was missing something basic. Strange thing though, my adb drivers seemed to working fine, and has never given me a problem before.

Thanks a million.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Happy to help.

Now UNLESS you're doing an RUU install there is NO reason to lock the Bootloader.
