Here's my list:

No more zoom buttons (much easier than pinching when using a car dock while driving)

Touching the find me icon now zooms way in. This also breaks toggling between North at top and travel direction at top for me because it changes my preferred zoom (and pinching takes me out of travel direction at top mode).

No easy way to see alternate routes and particularly traffic along alternate routes.

Vastly reduced offline capability.

No way to access my list of starred places

Check this thread for others': https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GoogleMaps/posts/EhXFd6r2kPn
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] DSC05:
I totally agree. That's why I reverted back to old maps and disconnected maps from playstore with titanium backup. Especially the old navigation overview with easy to choose alternative routes is what I'm missing.

Btw for those who are looking for old versions of an app I can highly recommend this website http://www.androiddrawer.com/
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] gandi54:
To answer those two points...

double tap the screen, but on the second tap, slide your finger up or down to zoom in and out

The little person icon, top right gives a list of my places...home, work, saved (starred places) plus search history
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] dlads:
Cant stand the new maps, theres a button half off the screen too. The old one worked just fine, i'm all for updates but they should be better than the old ones not worse.

Maybe it's just me, an it's different and not necessarily worse, just not what i'm used to
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] dougxd:
If you're rooted, you can use Titanium Backup to disconnect the Maps app from the Market. If it's disconnected, it won't auto-update.....no matter what google tries to do with Services.

I for one often use the ability to have the Navigation interface running without route guidance. Think of it as explorer mode. Using the main Maps interface to explore isn't as useful. By launching Navigation and then tapping "Map", you can use the interface without guidance. So far, that ability is stripped with the new version.

Also, on my HTC One, tapping on a contact's address doesn't launch the new Maps app. If another app is installed, like Scout or Waze, it works fine. On my Nexus 4, doing this works as expected, so Google dorked around with the API again and screwed lots of people on non-Nexus devices (AGAIN).
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] aleph23:
It doesn't stick on my device. Each reboot requires that it be re- disconnected.

I'm on ARHD12 and elementalx 3.0, not that that should matter.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] syaoran68:
i used to love just having navigation up and tracking my locations with traffic in the background. so i could see traffic ahead of where i KNOW i'm going. but they took that away. and integration with the sense car mode is horrible...
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Roupette:
I totally agree with those issues detailed int the last posts :

- the zoom is really bad for choosing alternatives routes

- if you want to take an alternative route during your trip, you have to tap back to leave the navigation, then you do not have the good zoom, then you have to relaunch an itinerary...

- no more availability of a real time "flying-view" mode to get a preview of the global itinerary with the traffic

- bad integration with the Car Apps > there is almost no more advantage to use maps with the Car Apps more than another GPS app

- bad integration with the contact apps (for the adress)

- heaviness!!! 6.x version was smooth as butter when 7.x lags so much on automatic pinch

6.x was far from being perfect, but it had really nice features which had to be kept...but obviously this 7th version is not a revamp but is issued from a totally different fork of development.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] ThePhoneGeek:
Thanks. Please understand I was expressing my frustration that Google would release a "new" version that in my opinion is vastly inferior to the previous version. Sure I understand that Google can force updates down the road, I have now stopped auto updates for the time being, and I will look at disconnecting it too as others have suggested.

I see that a minor update came out on 7/19 has anyone tried it?

Guys, lets never forget when google maps was easy to use.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] ranova:
i remember those bubble buttons, super useful. Anyone got the APK for this version?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] baberswallet:
I thought it was a labs feature, would an old APK work? I remember the day they removed, it was the worst day of my life.

Is there ANY WAY that we can speed up gaming performance on cm 10.1 roms?
[HTC One V] MameTozhio:
Have you overclocked? Try Turbo boost mod as well, and greenify all the background apps so you have nothing running when you're running the game.
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
Well overclocking and there are many scripts also
[HTC One V] Deontologist:
I can overclock up to 1.7ghz stable so try that but just be warned your phone might get a little warm so use a case to protect your hands. The phone should be okay; chips are designed to operate at high temperatures - think triple digit Fahrenheit degrees - which are more than what you hands can bear for gaming (especially for extended periods).
[HTC One V] ijayesh:
Overclock it to 1.5 and with performance governor ... Will have a pleasant gaming experience
[HTC One V] Curtis1973:
you should be able to get good game performance without extreme over clocking by making sure background apps are terminated while playing. but will depend on games requirements of course.

Thought I been using wifi calling but I'm already out of minutes. Set settings to never use cellular network only wifi but its still goin against my minutes. The blue phone icon is wifi calling right?

Edit mods can delete or lock this. Just read that wifi calls still count against your plan. That's a joke.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] bearymore:
This happened to me, although I caught it after I only used a few minutes. You need to call T-Mobile and ask them to activate free wifi calling. Even though your phone is calling over wifi, calls will be charged against your minutes unless this is activated.You may be able to do this on their web site, but I had to call them to get it done.

I find it objectionable that they don't let you know that you need to do this in any of their documentation.

How do you run out of minutes its 2013 they have plans with unlimited minutes lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cables2590:
So I dropped my second phone today in a month time spanned and shattered both phones... Now I'm debating on paying another hundred bucks to get a refurbished htc one x or wait a few weeks for the Moto x phone... I want to hear Ur guys opinion on the phone and if u think it is going to release an time soon... Also I have only had htc phones from the original evo and up so I'm not sure how the quality of Motorola is... The thing that has me considering it is the updates and the fact that the battery life is supposed to be great...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There are rumors that it'll be released next month. They're only rumors though. Spec-wise I wouldn't be surprised if it came with a 1080p display, and at least a dual core 1.5gHz CPU.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cables2590:
Yeah I read about hopefully it being launched next month... I read that it would be 4.3 720p 2nd 1.7 qualcom pro s4 which is the same as these phones... That don't bother me so much if they optimize the software to work smooth with great battery life... That's what I really want but the main thing that's killing me is the 4.3 inch screen... I'm so used the 4.7 that it feels one the best size phone I ever had... Also I don't know the quality of motorola or the dev community

[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Just curious if any one else is having this issue. While testing zvb rom, cwm corrupted my system folder and cwm would not format/mount it. System would not boot. Could not flash anything that wrote to the system folder. Would not boot so I couldn't flash a tot, normally. Had to flash in emergency download mode. Now everything is fine except that I can't get any ota's. it keeps saying that there is no ota available, that my system is up to date.

Just wondering if anyone that has used emergency download mode then tried to ota, is having this issue.
[LG Revolution] OrangeJoe:
Not me. That's helpful, right?

I un-rooted and un-CWMed (by resetting the executable bit on install-recovery.sh), so I was, theoretically, stock zv9. I could download the OTA (for the, like, millionth time), but it wouldn't install. Finally I dusted off Windows and did the normal TOT, and then was able to OTA to zvb.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
I'm just curious if anyone else is having or had (previous revo owners) this issue. Nothing more. I couldn't get my phone to boot, therefore, I couldn't flash the v8 tot normally. I had no choice but to use 'emergency download mode'. Doing so, put me in 'test mode'. Once getting out of test mode, I get the "No software update available".

No biggie. OG ZVB runs absolutely flawless on v8. But if there is a way to get back to zvb, then I'm game. I would like to run OG ZVB on zvb ;) Only seems appropriate :)
[LG Revolution] OrangeJoe:
Just curious: how much zv8 is left behind when you flash OG ZVB?

I pm'd you yesterday or the day before about maybe getting zvb back, in case you didn't see it.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
OG ZVB is just the software part of ZVB. I'm trying to figure out how to rip the firmware. One of the esteem guys is working on that and we will see where it goes.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
If you previously ran ZVB then installed OG, you have the zvb firmware, correct?

If so, so far it is running great.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Yes sir you are correct.

Does your FTF contain loader.sin? If not, use a complete FTF. This one for example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2336874

You could also try with Sony Update Service (SUS), but this program will wipe all your data.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niuniuaba:
I don't think there is anything to do with your locked bootloader. for ftf thing, there's some threads on subject of making your own ftf and you need to search the forum. but I recommend re-downloading a proper ftf again, it's easy if you have resonable fast internet access.

good luck.

Use this Tutorial to flash stock rom using flashtool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240614

The only thing you need to know is that when you try to connect the XZ in flashmode, you need to hold the vol down button and the second you connect the cable slightly press the power button.

this will surely work.

Flashing wrong kernels to ur phones is not a huge deal at all.... It happens quite a few times in a flashoholics life.... Provided ur a tad careless.... :p but as i said its not a big deal. ... U can just flash the ryt kernel compatible with ur rom using adb n ur rom will boot up just fine.... Like nothing happened.... Bricking ur phone is a term blown too out of proportions.... As u go on flashing n modding n experimenting wirh ur phone u will realise that its not that easy to actually or truly brick ur phone.... What happened to u is called a soft brick.... Which is nothing to panic abt.... Such misfortunes happen now n then.... But ur phn isnt dead.... Or u dont need to go running to ur nearest service centre n pay them unreasonable amounts of money.... U just need to do the ryt things n ur phn will b up n running in no time.... U need to worry only when ur phn is hardbricked..... It is unlikely that ur phn is gonna wake up again n claiming warranty would b ur only option.... But thats very difficult to end up with as u have to be insanely overclocking ur phn to end up with a burnt cpu which is ur hard brick....

I flashed yours onto my phone and it loads up but the same problem happens :( The touchscreen still doesn't work.

I saw this earlier before heading to work: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39920703&postcount=11

But when I adb shell I don't get a root@something. I have some garbled text. Basic commands like ls work. su is not found though, neither is the rmi4_fwloader command found. But then adb devices showed it in "recovery" mode not "device". Though on this computer adb devices shows nothing but fastboot does. Did flashing the stock rom relock it?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
That postwas my next piece of advice to you...

ok, have you unlocked your bootloader? Have you rooted the new firmware? Use bin4ry or doomlords rooting method to root the firware and try again.

also, you can use a USBOTG cable and a mouse to control the phone instead of the touchscreen
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] foxyfennec:
The bootloader was still unlocked after putting your firmware on.

Is there a way of enabling usb debug mode outside of the phone? I'm guessing that's what's needed to get adb shell to work.

Woohoo! Progress! Still broken, but progress!!!!

I installed PdaNet and it made adb drivers work. Then I did adb shell from recovery.

This part is important:

The path is messed up on my phone so if anyone has trouble with that method for similar reasons would have to do the same:

/sbin/su
/system/bin/rmi4_fwloader -b /system/etc/firmware/touch_module_id_0x32.img -d /sys/bus/rmi4/devices/sensor00 -r -f

(echo $PATH is /sbin/ but for some reason su doesn't work without /sbin/. if /sbin/su doesn't work what I actually did was cd /sbin then su)

(It is important to run /system/bin/rmi4_fwloader because it simply can't find rmi4_fwloader, even if you cd /system/bin/)

Now my touch works! I just have no software buttons :)

Any idea how to get my.. nevermind, after going through the startup bit they just appeared.

Thank you you are a genius! :)
