[Xposed Framework Modules] hi-tech:
Um, you missed my point entirely. I'm not debating the "lock assistance" the WiFi gives. I'm simply saying its silly to leave WiFi on, knowing it will try to connect (and disconnect) to every single network you have stored in your phone it happens across, and use up precious battery 'searching' for those SSIDs.

In our case, we have "Optimum / Time Warner Wifi" damn near everywhere in NYC area; great when you are idle and outside, annoying while driving. The phone drops a perfectly good 3G / 4G signal to connect to the stronger WiFi at a traffic light only to disconnect a few seconds later as you drive off, rinse and repeat. Same goes for store WiFi's that you need to authenticate to, after the WiFi connects and gets an IP. In the latter case, you will be without Internet for your other services like email et al (as you still need to open that Browser), just to get a slightly better lock?

Again, I'm in NYC, plenty of 'tall buildings / skyscrapers' and the GPS locks and stays locked driving through midtown just fine. In fact, it only disconnects when I get the tunnel to NJ. No need to leave the WiFi on at all and more importantly I stay connected via cellular data.

Sorry I just had to correct you. :P
[Xposed Framework Modules] pakitos:
So "Leaving WiFI on while driving is pointless" was more like in your case rather than in general use. I never connect to a network outside my house so it wont be doing what you said with "Optimum / Time Warner Wifi" networks. In my case is useful.
[Xposed Framework Modules] terrorist96:
You don't have to "leave wifi on". There's an option for 'scanning' to help with GPS while wifi is off. This is what this module addresses mainly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
For reference the "Scanning always available option" is only for devices on at least 4.3.
[Xposed Framework Modules] thor1k:
does anyone else have to tap the compass multiple times to get it to true north?

does anyone else's maps not always fully reach/zoom/focus to the blue location-marker when you searched for a destination?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Was just working on XHangouts and I came across a location accuracy tip inside Google Hangouts. Where does it end?!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
I appreciate the review. Thanks.

9.2 support in the works?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
I've been on 9.2 for some time and it seems to work well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Emama:
From android police Google map 9.3 let us permanently disable this popup.

Thank you for writing this mod ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] codified:
Yeah, finally google allows you to turn off the popup forever
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Yep, it looks like the Maps team at Google heard us. One way or another. Thanks, everyone!
[Xposed Framework Modules] thor1k:
Possible to change zoom in/out speed? I have to paw several times to get to the zoom level I need.

If someone say it's possible I look into making module
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
This is not the purpose of NoMapTips so if it is a feature request, no. I'm sure it's possible to increase the speed at which Maps zooms but unless they're extending a built-in Android class for the zoom feature you'll have to dig through the source yourself.
[Xposed Framework Modules] thor1k:
oh that's right, you said it would be what the title claims and no more.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mistermojorizin:
Maps 9.5.1 not only won't let you disable map tips, but it won't find you when you press the location button unless you agree to let it turn wifi on. Any way this module could address that?
[Xposed Framework Modules] mlo99:
9.5.1 needs fixing

Confirmed. Maps 9.5.1 is in acute need of a fix.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Wow. You're right. I'll look into a quick fix. Not really sure what the Google Maps team is thinking...
[Xposed Framework Modules] mlo99:
Thanks. Much appreciated.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ek69:

This module is needed one again looks like lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Quick note that the dialog that comes from tapping on the locate button is created from the megalith that is Google Play Services. This is not going to be fun.

You can also get this dialog to show up by going into Hangouts and then trying to attach/share your location.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
v2.0-b0c9edc

NoMapTips is back, ladies and gentlemen. As of Google Maps 9.5.1 there is an incredibly annoying "tip" whenever you tap the compass / "locate me" button that looks something like this:

If you tap cancel so it will not change your location settings you will be refused the functionality you requested. This is even worse than before! This dialog could be other places but I have not checked. Google Maps wants to force you to turn on WiFi even when it's off.

Please note that there is still a (different) dialog if you do not have your location settings set to "High accuracy" or "Device only." I have chosen not to remove this dialog for now because Maps is pretty much useless if you do not have either of those options set. Especially navigation. In fact, generally speaking, you probably do want one of those two location settings activated while using Maps. The dialog I disabled is for WiFi and interferes with otherwise unhindered usages of the application.

The above is no longer true as of v2.1. :)

After installing NoMapTips, tap the Location accuracy tips option in the settings. You'll be greeted by this lovely little message assuming you have normal location services on:

Enjoy!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zeuszoos:
Avast is reporting the 3/21/2015 update as a virus.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
That would be Avast's problem, not mine. Considering Xposed modules have unlimited system access Avast should be reporting all Xposed modules as "viruses." With that said I do not personally put any faith or thought into Android virus scanners. The algorithms are undoubtedly much less mature than their PC counterparts and perhaps the only truly useful thing they could do is check an app's signature against a blacklist (and I think Google Play Services already does this to some degree). I could say more but there is plenty of reading material regarding this exact subject.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mlo99:
I personally always leave wifi on. It's the GPS I want off. Any chance you can make the high accuracy reminder go away too? Or will that be too messy now when it's tied to Google Play Services instead of to Maps directly (if I understood your previous message correctly)?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
v2.1-8fa0a32

Gotcha. v2.1 is much more aggressive when disabling location accuracy tips and will force Maps to proceed even when location settings are entirely disabled.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mlo99:
Works like a charm. Thank you and thanks too for impressively fast responses.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dimm0k:
is this still the case with Maps 9.6.0? I can't seem to bring up this popup when I click the locate me button with wi-fi off... just trying to see if I need this module again or not...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
The pop-up occurs for me when WiFi is off and the WiFi always-on search is off. I also get a pop-up if I do not have my location settings set to high accuracy or device only. For your situation I would imagine you have that always-on setting activated.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zeuszoos:
I was just notifying, not judging. :)

So you think that it's because of how it's interacting with the system then. Okay. That didn't occur to me because the other Xposed modules I use didn't cause any flares to go up. But it does make sense.

As for Android Anti-Virus tools, I didn't used to use one either, but they are now making their way in. Google will vouch for that. Plus I sideload quite a bit. And Avast is one of the ones that is tested by the Lab.

Thank you for responding.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
My apologies if anything I wrote seemed hostile! Definitely not intended. If I had to guess at what was making Avast suspicious I'd say it's the reflection combined with PackageManager calls but this is hardly unique to NoMapTips. Does it give you a reason or some kind of reference number? Thanks for reporting.
[Xposed Framework Modules] marbertshere:
For myself the problem is that I use tasker to switch location modes upon loading Maps. Apparently this action doesn't happen quick enough so the pop up still appears. So, having the module dismiss this pop-up is really, really helpful. Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zeuszoos:
No worries, my friend! :) I just took it as maybe MY wording was harsh or something. I felt bad that I came across that way. Funny now, huh? <lol>

No, I don't recall Avast giving me any type of number.

I uninstalled it and am going to try installing it again. Maybe something got corrupted, or it was a fluke. It happens. :)

If it helps any, it was only after this most recent update that this happened. Before that, it never sent up any flares.

I really did not think it was an actual virus. I just figured there was something in the updated code that was causing Avasf to react and so I'd let you know so it could be nipped in the bud before a bunch of people started bugging you about it, that's all.

If it does it again, I do believe you and I'll just set Avast to "Ignore" it. :)

Thanks again for the quick response, my friend! :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] sirs2k:
Latest update doesn't work on kitkat 4.4.4 GPE.
[Xposed Framework Modules] raddacle:
And for those of you who keep your location settings on Battery Saver, this app automatically switches your GPS on and off for you: AutoGPS
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Thanks for the report. I'll need some more info to begin debugging: Version of Google Maps, version of NoMapTips, Xposed log. To get a clean Xposed log follow these steps:

Go the Xposed Installer and select Logs.

Hit the menu button on your device or the menu button on the top right of the screen.

Select Clear log now

Open up the app switcher. It's either a dedicated button or by holding down the home button. Swipe away/close the Maps application.

Open Maps again and try to repeat the problem.

Directly after repeating the problem go to the Xposed Installer Log section and paste the output here.
[Xposed Framework Modules] thor1k:
please don't stress about this, if anything needs to be listed as virus it's the new Maps update.

thanks for the quickfix . those turds gave us what we wanted for a couple weeks and then tried to be even more annoying. Suck it google, so long as KK4.4.4 is supported I will be on it, and by then hopefully all the bugs in Lollisuck will be popped.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sirs2k:
I've updated to 2.1

If the problem persists, I will seek your professional help :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] barnabydog:
Thanks for keeping on top of this, Kevin.

At first I couldn't believe that Google actually held Maps' basic functionally hostage just to rape it's users. Then I couldn't believe that I couldn't believe it. :)

Another little donation heading your way. :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Thank you! I really appreciate it.

Thanks for letting me know!
[Xposed Framework Modules] sirs2k:
All seems to be well my friend, thanks for the update!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:

[Xposed Framework Modules] Tanis64:
Thanks a lot for that usefull module!

Switching on WiFi in the Background for scanning and localisation takes a lot of Battery.

Maybe this is usefull for lacalisation in areas without gps, but since when you exit Maps this option stay tuned on.

For normal localisation for me using the Cell Mobile Network is good enough in the most time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
After some quick testing it appears the latest Google Maps, v9.6.1 is fully compatible with the newest version of NoMapTips.
[Xposed Framework Modules] pkWhistle:
Hey, silly question but would you happen to have the right size of the updated android icon the you use for this mod and clarity? I can only seem to find 192x192 and it turns out incredibly small in settings menu. I think the correct size is 512x512. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
I didn't even have the 192x192 variant in the repository until just a few minutes ago. I had to dig through the Android Studio resources to find it. Loaded the 192 into Google Search and was able to find a 512x512. I'm not sure where the image is from other than someone uploaded it to Google+. Still has an alpha channel and does not appear to be upscaled. Here's a 768 of the same image but some of the edges make me think it's just the 512 version upscaled. The XXXHDPI version (192) should be plenty big for use within Android though. The only time I can see the need for a larger icon is if you're using the image in other parts of your UI or somewhere off-device like Google Play or the web. Hope this helps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] urushiol:
Just wanted to say thank for this excellent module! There is absolutely no reason google would not allow us to disable this with a setting in google maps. Its things like this that make me wish there was a better google alternative!
[Xposed Framework Modules] redwood02:
Confirmed here on VZW HTC M8 running DH's GPE ROM.

Thanks a lot for this, traveling now and the pop up was driving me CRAZY.
[Xposed Framework Modules] F308:
But not compatible with 9.7.1 which came to me today.

Log attached.

(Xperia Z1C, KK, kernel 108)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
I'll try to get something working sometime tomorrow.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
v2.2-31c370b

My apologies for the delay. NoMapTips has been updated for the latest version of Maps. Turns out Google again changed how they internally request for the tip dialogs and so updating wasn't the normal search-and-replace it usually can be. At any rate, enjoy.

v2.2-31c370b - 22 Apr 2015 - Stable
------------
This release adds support for Maps 9.7.1! Please note that while the
"optimal location" toast notification will no longer appear you
should continue to be location tip free.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Does not appear as if NoMapTips is required in Google Maps 9.8.1 :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] user840603734:
Thank you for this. Keep up the fight against nagging popups and Google's tyranny ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Might be time to EOL this again. Maybe even for good? :o

I'm now seeing a "Never" option to the dialog in Maps 9.8.1 (along with the latest Play services):

Thanks, Maps team.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Angry Black Man:
on a rooted, customized android 4.4.2, this isn't working. i have xposed 2.6.1, nomap tips 2.2-31c370b (activated), google maps 9.9.0, and play services 7.5.71 (1955121-038). when i go into maps, i see this:

View attachment 3331757

and when i enable GPS, i get this:

View attachment 3331758

what am i doing wrong?

is this mod designed to stop the second attachment's prompt?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
1) I can only replicate that specific dialog when I tap Location accuracy tips. I get a dialog with a "never" option (so it never appears again) when I tap the locate button or use the Maps app normally.

2) No, NoMapTips modifies only Google Maps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] governmentissuejoe:
Kevin, from the screenshot you posted it looks like you're on lollipop. Perhaps that's why you have the never option. I'm on kitkat and I do not have never as an option. I have maps 9.9 with the latest play services and nomaptips installed and active.

Update:

I flashed lollipop and installed maps 9.9 just to see if I could see the never option but alas no. So Kevin, I have no idea how or why you can see it and some of us can't.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
What is the dialog saying, specifically for you? I get the "never" option when Google is suggesting WiFi alone. If I have location services off completely, for instance, and I tap the location button I do not get a "never" option. And perhaps rightfully so.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ihateu:
Is this currently working with maps 9.16.2? I'm using Android 4.4
[Xposed Framework Modules] centaurium:
HI. End of development?
[Xposed Framework Modules] davidred7697:
Is there a known issue with custom ROM's based on Android 5.1.1? I have a OnePlus One on Cyanogen OS and this module does nothing to prevent the Maps window.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Is this still happening for people on Lollipop and above? On the rare occasion I see this dialog it is always accompanied by a "Never" option that works well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Not seeing this issue anymore on Lollipop and Marshmallow.
[Xposed Framework Modules] omar302:
Since the latest versions of Maps, this mod is not needed anymore. Thanks a lot for your time & efforts on the mod & updates you have made.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Very good to hear. Thanks for the reports.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iBuu:
What maps version you use ? I use latest from play which shows 9.22.1 at least on my device

Even after once allowed it, then turned scanning off, it immediately popped up again while pressing my location :mad:

edit: I would like to think that there are some config files to be accessed while rooted so I could get rid of this notification, but after hours and hours hugging goggle I found nothing ! It seems that this kind of battery&/privacy monster doesnt bother people so much.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Odd. It appears they've "unfixed" it somewhat. I don't always get the dialog with WiFi off but sometimes I do. Usually it's on the second time I tap the location button. But sometimes it's on the first. And when it does pop up there is no longer a "Never" option. By contrast if you go into Google Hangouts and attempt to share your location you'll get the pop up but there is a never option. It doesn't even work like you'd expect though. :(

I've submitted a report about the never option disappearing in the Maps "send feedback" page. Hopefully if others do this too we'll get some action on it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] omar302:
This happened to me as well, I installed 9.22.1 and the pop up started again, so I uninstalled 9.22.1 & installed 9.22.0 (from APKmirror) which removed the repeating pop up. Then Maps updated again to 9.22.1 through Play Store, but the repeating pop up did not comeback. The only thing I'd say made an effect, is when I uninstalled 9.22.1 it effectively cleared all data for Maps, so try to clear data for Maps first & see if the repeating Pop up is fixed.

Note: I am now using Maps 9.22.1 (#922100224), HTC m9 on Lollipop & the pop up came only on the 1st time. After selecting "Never" it never comes up again even after closing & re-opening Maps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] davidred7697:
Thank you so much for your suggestion. I have Maps 9.23.0 and I was so annoyed that this module didn't worm to get rid of that pop up every damn time. Even when only minimizing for a short period to change music.

I cleared cache, but that didn't remove the problem. Then I cleared all data and after going through the initial setup, IT WORKED! I do T get the pop up anymore. I don't know if it's the module that's doing it or if it would work without the module, but I don't want to take the risk of having that annoyance again only to find out. Thanks again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Great to see that somehow fixes it. I highly doubt the latest version of the module is doing anything since it's very version-dependent. That is to say newer versions of Maps will break old versions of NoMapTips.
[Xposed Framework Modules] omar302:
For me it is working without the module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ev0luti0n_:
I get this exact thing with the same version. Would love so much to have a workaround....

Did you try the workaround already posted in this thread?

Not yet.

Hey guys,

I want to leave stock and start using Cyanogenmod 11 or test out some of the other AOSP's we have up right now.

My only issue is that I need WiFi calling because I get terrible signal on campus at my college.

Are there any current workarounds for this? Or am I stuck with stock based ROMs as long as I need the feature?

Thanks!!! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheArtiszan:
Nope.

If you want t-mobile WiFi calling you need to stick with stock.

The only other option would be to setup Google voice and get a number through that, then you can use hangouts for phone calls in any rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ddarvish:
rumor has it that tmobile will release an app/method to be able to use it on any android phone so that it is no longer rom dependent. wont be till 2015 .. at least thats the rumor when someone asked about wifi calling on the moto x

[General Questions and Answers] spljoe:
Hi,

I bought the phone MPai 809T Octa-Core MTK 6592 from China shipped to UAE (United Arab Emirates). I configured the region/country to United Arab Emirates and the phone was working fine in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Now I am in India and the phone is not getting any signal from any Network Provider. The SIM card is working in other phones; but not in 809T. SIM Cards are detected by phone, it shows details of SIM Name, Netowrk Provider Name. But when I try to call, it says "Mobile Network not available".

I suspect the region/country setting is the issue. But I don't know how to change that. So I am trying to flash a new ROM; so that initial region setting wil appear again; which may resolve my issue.

I have got the links for 4.4.2 ROM from the link below (NeedROM website). But I am facing an issue during flashing. Someone pls help.

http://www.needrom.com/download/official-mpai-809t-mtk6592/

I am getting an error message while using the Flash Tool. Please help. Error message attached.

Thanks,

Joe
[General Questions and Answers] spljoe:
Upgrading to 4.4.2 didn't help.I'm still not getting option to change country and still no network. Someone please help. My mobile is just a gadget without sim functionality.

Please help.
