Here is the new Google Maps 5.0 apk for the ones that cannot update it.

Push it via ADB.

I have the streetmap available as well dunno if it was updated in the 5.0 though.

It is taken from a Samsung Galaxy S so the devices that are not compatible with new 3D View and new stuff may not work.

To be Confirmed.

Don't forget to backup your apk before trying to push via ADB.

EDIT : I've re-extracted it from my device, this time with Titanium Backup, and I guarantee this is 5.0
[Android Apps and Games] mycnam:
It looks like Google Maps 4.5.0 and Street View 1.6.0.6...
[Android Apps and Games] fuzeman001:
I Tried this with no luck
[Android Apps and Games] gregounech:
Fixed :)

Only available for those devices :

http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1079043

You probably need to add G2 / Desire Z + HD to this list though.

And it seems there is no need to update streetview as it is still 1.6.0.6 after the update.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Google Maps 5.0 is on the market...
[Android Apps and Games] gregounech:
Yeah, for the ones who cannot update it.

Like everybody on Cyanogen Mod usually cannot update their system apps like GMaps.
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
with maps5 is possible to cache all country maps on cache ? or only the already navigated roadmaps?
[Android Apps and Games] WarBird87:
i updated right from the market and it worked fine for me...
[Android Apps and Games] Hotshot205:
I'm on that rom and updated from the market also. And must say liking the new map so far! Nice and smooth.

IT WORKS!

On my Nexus One w Cyanogen works fine, the compass like a charm... and it installs fine withoot problems.
[Android Apps and Games] ManoMachine:
Works fine @desire2.2

Is there a way to update this via SideLoading? I tried (via Sideload Wonder Machine) and got the error message "INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS." Any tips, suggestions would be appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] pcm2a:
What's the deal with the rotate not working?

Droid X - 3d rotate works

simply installed it on Desire. works fine. thanks!:)

i wasn't able to find it any other way...
[Android Apps and Games] Scrupix:
For this to install you need a rooted device?

It will replace the maps that I have it installed on Htc Desire?

Can I install simply by transfering the file to memory card and then install?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] god_md5:
you can use "adb install -r com.google.android.apps.maps-2.apk"

to install it

Htc Desire 2.2

I installed on my HTC Desire with 2.2. Maps are ok but when I enter in Navigation it locks on "Checking Navigation Availability" and nothing happens.

The Navigation opened before in 4.6 version even if is not available in my country.

Dou you have any suggestions ?
[Android Apps and Games] Valery_Kondakoff:

PS - Try uninstalling maps then re-installing it, that fixed my issue.

The new version is great :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zbig_T:
Didn't do the trick for me, unfortunately... HTC Desire Z, official, non-rooted firmware.

[Android Apps and Games] Zbig_T:
The "stuck on the "Checking navigation availability" in unsupported countries" bug has been corrected in recent 5.1 Maps update. Now it shows a proper message suggesting a fallback to simple directions.

Thats at least what u can read in some german forums. -.-

[Nexus S General] Singlespeed:
Just click on it and it will ask you if you want to buy on contract or off.

Choose that you are an existing customer, and the outright option will appear.
[Nexus S General] OctoPI:
Thank you very much, Singlespeed :)
[Nexus S General] Highl1:
but will it give us unlocked phones? I'm not a T-Mobile existing customer and I don't want a locked phone without contract (it stated on BB site that you can get also a locked phone without 2 year obligation for 529$)
[Nexus S General] Superfrag:
There is no locked Nexus S. All are unlocked.

[Gen8 Android Development] JaymZ37:
Hello guys.

I just see it on a french Archos Forum, there's a new Firmware released for Gen8 Devices.

Download it from Archos Website

What's new :

Version 2.0.71 - December 16th, 2010

* Wi-Fi: fix Wi-Fi stuck after a while when using WPA2/AES encryption mode

* Wi-Fi: fix cannot connect on channels above 11 due to wrong default regulation domain

* Power management: for A43/A70/A101 add a setting in about device to allow 3 levels of power management. Overdrive that allows CPU max frequency to be 1GHz with ondemand governor, optimal that brings CPU max frequency to 800MHz with ondemand governor and powersave that set CPU max frequency to 800MHz with conservative governor

* Indexing: faster rescan is now achieved at USB disconnect

* Storage: SDCard now supports NTFS (read only) and EXT3

* Storage: fix sdcard not recognized sometimes when swapping different cards brands

* Video: fix subtitles on A101

* Network shares: enhance scanning speed

* Network shares: handle the case where a server shares are not visible if not authenticated

* Network shares: allow in wireless settings to define manually a server authentication details

* Network shares: reload samba and UPnP services when switching between access points without disconnecting

* Audio: a silent mode (Global Mute) has been enabled in the power button menu. It will impact all streams except alarms in case one select alarms sound always on in alarm settings

* Application: appslib is now reinstalled after an Android device reset

* Application: fix quadrant CPU benchmark

* Power: fix shutdown sometimes happening on short power button press

* Internationalization: support for Korean codepage tags and subtitles

* Multimedia: use smaller memory footprint for decoding H264 SD

* Memory management: achieve more progressive kill in low memory situation

* Boot: fix deadlock happening sometimes preventing device to complete boot

As I see on some forums, there's a good feedback about this update :)

Have a good flash ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
Nice. Faster rescan, memory management, wifi fixes, power fix, 1000MHz back, and other fixes. That'll fix quite a lot of issues.

I have to raise my eyebrow on the 'fix quadrant CPU benchmark' though... That sounds like optimizing for a benchmark app, which ruin the entire purpose of benchmarking... @_@

edit: Oh hey, it's posted already at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875393
[Gen8 Android Development] JaymZ37:
Oh sorry for the double post...
[Gen8 Android Development] vertig0730:
Archie defanitly got the update right. The course and memory settings make it much better.
[Gen8 Android Development] thiazzi:
Makes a bunch of apps in the market disappear again. I'm pulling my hair out.
[Gen8 Android Development] fullthrottleenergy:
I did a complete format and installed the market and everything is working fine. Same number of apps as before the update. Try a full reformat by shutting down and booting up by pressing volume down and power.

Edit: love the new update. Feels much faster. Good job archos.
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Just flashed it and no apps have been gone missing. I'm not able to use the market enabler anymore, though, since temp root isn't possible anymore. Without it I'm stuck with the german market and there are several interesting apps not showing up, for whatever reason.
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
Bei mir geht der Market.

Market working here
[Gen8 Android Development] pwhooftman:
It's better with this update, but it's still not enough by a long shot. This Archos desperately needs a lagfix solution like on the Samsung Galaxy, this way its no contender for the iPad.
[Gen8 Android Development] gbohm:
the gen8 archos doesn't have etf or do i miss something?

so a lag fix (at least like that on sgs wouldn't help or do i miss smth) i am very happy with the performance it's not as fast as the sgs newest software + lagfix but it's quite fast but i haven't installed a lot of software perhaps it will get worser
[Gen8 Android Development] faldiin:
It would never be a contender. I have never understood comparing everything to Apple. They make good items for there system. This is Android and not the same system. Let this stand on it own merits. Just a thought these days.

Now lets compare it to the SGT. That is a over priced tablet but has Market access and root access. I hope we can get to the point with this software.

So on that note I have not changed to the new software since we lose all root. So i have not seen the grand changes that people are happy about.

Faldiin
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
When they're of similar function, there's no reason not to compare them. That's the only way we can decide what to buy in the list of available tablets.

That said, I'm not fond of apple products. They're 'locked down tight' (ignoring jailbreaking) and highly priced.

And same I've not switched to the new software since I do not want to lose root. It works well enough as it is as long as I have root.
[Gen8 Android Development] faldiin:
As I see the point to your thought, I may not agree since there is to much going on about IPad killer and IPhone Killer. This is why I find this part getting annoying. So there is plenty of merit to what you say. As far as the apple I completely agree. I was trying to talk my sister out of an IPad. Worst of it she has a droid Incredible and she is still opting for the IPad. Some people are just paying for the software and have no idea.

How to downgrade back to previous firmware?

At this time you cant go back. You will have to wait for Root Access or and update from Archos. Please let them know your issue so they can fix it.

Have you installed the new Market App? There is an issue with WIFI.

i've been running the 178 CM nightly for a few days, and CM nightlies in general for forever. my 3G was working this morning, now this afternoon it's gone and i can't get it back.

i've had this problem before (maybe three times in a month or so), and a simple reboot brought it back. now it's simply not coming back. data connection on wifi on WPA2 works fine.

tried the *228 phone activation, still no 3G. any other suggestions?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebc100:
Hello All,

I hope that someone can help me because I have a strange problem.

I have just bought a LG GW910 phone. The phone seems to work fine (calls, web-surfing, wifi etc) but if I am using my data connection (NOT WIFI) I cannot connect to any HTTPS sites. This also means that I cannot sync my phone with my exchange server across my data connection.

I have testes if across WIFI and it works fine.

I have also tested it by turning off the SSL (and making the necessary mod on the server of course) and then it also works fine, but I don't want to leave it sending my password in cleartext.

Can anyone help? Is this a bug in WP7 or should I send my phone back.

I would be very grateful if people could answer asap so that I can arrange to send this phone back if necessary.

Thanks.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
given that you're the first to report it i might suggest speaking with your carrier about it?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebc100:
Thanks for the comment! I would have thought the same thing if everything had not been working perfectly with my Touch Pro 2.

I cannot explain it, but I have managed to solve the problem.

I had tried resetting the phone and it hadn't helped.

I then tried (just to see how well it worked) doing a remote wipe of the phone (I had temporarily configured by exchange server not to require SSL). I then pannicked for about 40 minutes while my phone sat there with the LG logo and not starting.

FINALLY (YES... it takes AGES!!!) it started, and I configured it EXACTLY the same way as before, and now it works.

I honestly cannot explain it!

If anyone can come up with an explanation, I would LOVE to know.

Nick
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
well good to see you got it solved.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betomcfly:
if i may: where did you acquire an LG GW910. is that not a developer phone? as in, not in the market? (it was actually the one WP7 that enchanted me the most.)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebc100:
Hello,

I bought the device on ebay for €200. The price was certainly interesting!!

Sadly however, the problem that I was having yesterday has started again!! It is very strange!! It worked perfectly for approx 2 hours, and then at 00:40 this morning, it stopped. Now, again, I cannot access any form of https site (for exemple: www.live.com won't work as it directs me to an https site.) if I use the data signal. If I use WIFI it works fine!!

I am just trying another remote wipe of the phone to see if this solves the problem again.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Bad memory chip????
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebc100:
WORKING!!!!!!!

Hello All,

Problem officially solved now... phone been running fine since Saturday Morning.

It seems that the problem was partially due to my service provider, and partially due to a mistake that I made.

I connect through Orange Luxembourg (Formerly VOX). They have 3 APNs: vox.lu (their old APN that still worked perfectly with my Touch Pro 2), iphone3g.lu (which they implemented when they got the iphone) and then one that I have never used before: orange.lu

I had tried vox.lu and iphone3g.lu and they both worked fine for HTTP, but not for anything secured (HTTPS, SSL etc).

On Saturday morning, I suddenly remembered that there was the orange.lu APN and I tried it. The phone has been working perfectly since then!!

I can't explain why this APN works and the others don't, but I am not going to complain. It is now working fine, and to be honest, I am very happy with WP7. OK... it has some missing functionality, but I am sure the MS will sort out some of these issues given time.

So, I have been playijg around with my new Nexus S for a few hours and have everything loaded up like before. It's an awesome phone, just not surs ifbit is a $500 upgrade from the Nexus One that I currently own. My biggest issue is the limilted memory... with 12 gigs of music, my work files and others- I think I will run out soon, I am guessing they come out with a 32 gig before long. I will hang on to this and see how my N1 performs with GB. I really don't need a front facing camera or NFC chip. But I must admit, this thing is great and really flies! Anyone else having second thought?
[Nexus S General] calin75:
It's disappointing that Google is going the Steve Jobs way trying to control what we can or can't do with our phones. I prefer my Nexus one 1000 times over this mediocre-half-ass attempt of a phone. I'll wait for Google to try again next year and bring back the tracking ball, memory slot, and a metallic casing instead of the plasticky one.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
Yeah, I don't really see the Google Walled Garden. You'll have to explain.

:confused:
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
I am almost positive there will be a Nexus-M by Motorola, they really want in on the Nexus name I have heard. Might be called the Nexus-3.0 and released after Honeycomb comes out, but that's just rumors I have heard. I thought Moto was gonna get the Nexus-2 before Samsung got involved, so I am sure they are working on a Nexus phone for release in 2011.

Right now, today, the Nexus-S is the best Android phone on the market, if you want pure Android, with no carrier bloatware, and no branding crap like Sense or Touchwiz, and you just need to root this phone to make it bad ass, no real need for a custom rom like C 6.1.

I would not want the first dual core phone to market anyways, let them work out the kinks and bugs first, and I'll take the second round of dual core phones. Will give them time to really optimize Android for dual core after the 2nd gen is out.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
I think the OP was asking if you have actually bought the phone are you having second thoughts.
[Nexus S General] calin75:
To go from a Nexus One to a Nexus S and call it an upgrade is an oxymoron. To pay money and get a phone with less features is unwise. Gingerbread is coming to the Nexus One anyway.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
Where does Google say it's an upgrade? Link, please.

If you're just whining because the Nexus S doesn't have all the features that you want, then please stop. Go somewhere else and start your own thread, where you can complain all you want that the phone doesn't have a Jet Pack or a Rocket Launcher.

:mad:
[Nexus S General] Donatron:
It's hardly the same thing. Sure, Google may have taken out a couple features that you find important, but they are definitely not controlling anything. These decisions ONLY affect the Nexus S. The MANY other Android phones are not affected. So if you want a trackball and expandable memory, you can very well have that. Just buy a different phone. Apple on the other hand, prevents this freedom since the iPhone is the only available iOS phone.
[Nexus S General] hammondnav:
This is a forum for people to share their opinions. If you really like the Nexus S, you shouldn't get mad if others don't. Go buy one, enjoy it and move on. But try to understand that different people use their phones differently.

For me, the lack of SD storage is a deal breaker. Like the OP, I have easily over 12GB of music that I load on my phones. I don't want to carry an MP3 player on top of my cellphone. Nexus S's lack of SD slot leaves me with very limited space for my other data (work emails, apps, pictures and clips that I shoot, and so on). Having said that, I could see how this wouldn't be an issue for someone who doesn't fill up their phone.

Secondly, no matter how you spin it, the hardware is not a noticeable step ahead from the Nexus One, or the myTouch 4G. The S has a 1GHz processor and so do a whole slew of phones by Samsung and other manufacturers.

Thirdly, the Nexus S doesn't utilize TMO's HSPA+ network. Again, this may not be a big deal for somebody who doesn't do heavy data on their phone. But I do, and I happen to live in an area where TMO's "4G" network works extremely well. I definitely consider going from HSPA+ back to "3G" a downgrade. You may not share that view...

Basically, the only selling point for the S is Gingerbread. Based on certain information I have, the MT4G is highly likely to get a 2.3 update on the other side of the year. A minor OS update isn't enough to convince me to buy this phone.

As for your "upgrade" comment, technology is expected to get better over time. It's just the way it works. Google doesn't need to hold a press conference event to tell us whether this phone is an upgrade over a phone released nearly a year ago. That is expected to be the case.
