hello, i tried searching for this problem but didnt find it.
my phone is working fine except for an issue with google navigation.
the phones supposed to give you voice instructions but theres no sound at all even with it maxed out.
is there supposed to be a voice or is my maps screwed up?
i am running...
superd 1.9.3 w/ wg kernal
death spl
that new radio
latest maps available installed
new info
i put fastest on my g1 for fun while waiting for new superd. i had a chance to test out navigation and to my surprise i got talked to by robot voice lady.
will have to wait for superd before saying this was just a minor glitch.
maybe you said something to upset it?
i think on first load, it asks to download a speech app from the market...don't remember the name, perhaps it is the TTS service (text to speech)?
i have both tts and svox installed from google translate.
that program talks to me with the ladies robot voice just fine.
just can't seem to figure it out for maps.

try this: uninstall google maps and install it agian
don't know if this will work, but reinstalling something usually solves most of my problems

Hi,
I've got a UK Vodafone Magic and just received the OTA Donut update today. However it seems to have broken the Google Search By Voice app, as I just seem to get a Force Close everytime I try to use it.
I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it but it still doesn't work.
Anybody got any ideas?
Cheers
Mark
Same problem here mate! I've been playing around with donut for the last 3 days, but voice search is completely broken (not even there to be more precise). Just hope google provide us with a fix in the near future.
Guys ,
theirs an updated version of Google search by voice on the market and it is now donut compatible
Is there any way of getting Search by voice if it doesn't list on market? I'm on vodafone.nl and according to google themselves, voice dial/voice search is not available in my country.. which is a tad awkward due to laws regarding phoning while driving...
Seeing I can't find a working root guide for 1.6 using MarketEnabler is out of the question unless I roll back to 1.5, which in turn doesn't have the new search capabilities....

I can't help you with rooting a 1.6 phone, as I rooted at 1.5, but you certainly can root and then flash a 1.6 ROM. That is how I got Donut as my carrier still has not released it.
Is the new Bing working for anyone. I install it and when it opens its still the old version. I don't know whats going on.

nope, not on the Imagio. There is a thread open in Development & Hacking > Windows Mobile Application and Games.
Seems like its not working for a lot of people yet.
Bing works fine on my Imagio. That said, yesterday Bing had an outage...so you may have experienced that.
There is a known issue on the Bing app where it will only pick the first address if your contact has multiple addresses.
Hope this helps,
CB
So you have the new Bing with the picture background working?

which one did you download, didnt work for me.
the new bing sucks.
No...didn't realize they actually released a new update. And the new update states that "you're phone is not currently supported." Personally, as one of the few new WM6.5 phones, I am stunned that it isn't supported.

Install it to see what it looks like then uninstall it and reinstall the old version. The new version is horrible and looks like a Beta 1 version of the last version. It's so unusable that it's not worth installing.
not installing
I tried to do the udpate and Bing says cannot recognize the phone (or some similiar message) and then launches the browser and lets me download bing.cab. i tried to run bing.cab and it says cannot install in this phone.
Are you on Verizon? Search a bit, it is well known that Verizon's phones are not letting the new Bing install. Not just the Imagio, but ALL Verizon phones.
Verizon and Bing issues
Hey bud, you're right. It appears that others on the Verizon network are having issues with the new Bing upload. That said, it appears that the updates to Bing aren't being regarded very highly. So maybe it's for the best at the moment.
So aTrackDog is now showing:
Google Voice 0.2.8 installed, 0.3.0 new
Market 1.66 installed, 1.71 new
Think both of these are on the Nexus One? Anyone able to share some info on them?

They are indeed. The build.prop in the Flan dump lists the device as Nexus One. I've got GV from that dump installed on my G1 currently. No noticeable difference. I couldn't the market to install though. Was complaining about some certificates...
Edit: Didn't know the new GV took over your VM. What else does it do?
Here's the apps deodexed for the Nexus One: http://android-devs.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=87
I was able to install the Google Voice app on Eugenes 2.2 Eclair rom, it's got some added features (takes over your carriers voicemail automatically instead of having to manually do it).
I think the added functionality may only be for 2.0 ROMS but I'm not entirely sure.
a lot of them don't work.
i would just wait till they get released in market. has happened for both the new maps as well as facebook.. only time will tell though
This has been going on for 3 days now, and I haven't been able to find any topic on this so far.
For the last 3 days, I cant' get any market updates, or new market apps. It just says "starting download", but won't actually download. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Market App (Vending), did a wipe, nothing seems to fix this issue. I even installed a new ROM fresh.
Has anyone come across this issue? Solutions? Am I the only one?
Using Cyanmod - 4.2.12.2

One more Note - Noticed a comment here in the Q&A about Metamorph causing "market issues", but they don't actually describe what the issue is. I did recently install it, changed my power control widget, that was it.
Thanks for your help!
Try this;
Connect to wifi,
Cancel all downloads,
Restart all downloads over wifi.

Thanks lbcoder, had a feeling it would be you replying to my inquiry. Anyways, I had also tried that method, still nothing. Actually found the link below, people having this issue. To add to your steps they suggest to login to Google Talk. Well, that seems to be an issue as well, i can't login.

The only unusual thing in my logcat seems to be calling for low memory: No more background processes. This is a little odd, never had mem. issue's before, looking at my phone's memory usage in terminal, should be ok.
I had this issue due to my wireless router. Disconnected from the wifi and it all started working. The strange thing was browsing was working and google talk but it just would not download from the market.
Issue Update - in case others are having this issue - Back in Business
Well, I figured I ran out of options, that is options that didn't require a complete format and wipe of the phone.
I had to follow all the original steps, for installing the newest cyanogen ROM, using the HTC Dev Phone. So, after installing the HTC_DevPhonezip file from their website, applied it, applied Cyan's latest ROM, reboot...Bammm, the market is back, and downloading. Actually it ended up installing all my updates automatically. Guess it was registered through my google account, because I hadn't even installed the apps back to my ext partition yet, after installing new ROMs

Wanted to say thanks for the pointer to starting Google Talk to get my market downloads to work...as soon as I logged into Talk, my downloads started. I had re-flashed, re-formatted and basically tried everything until this simple suggestion fixed the problem. Kind of strange...but thank you!

Wow! Thanks for posting this, man. I was racking my brain... as this was the 2nd time I ran into this issue on my phone! Didn't want to wipe/reload once again.
Anyhow, I was using 'Autostarts' to pare down some of the crap that auto-starts with a standard Android build. Since I don't use GoogleTalk, I naturally killed that sucker. I guess I should've thought that it'd be tied to the Marketplace, right? Google Talk + Marketplace = logical That said, re-enabling Google Talk and restarting resolved my issue.
Thanks again!

I'm having same problem but mine must not have tie to Google Talk, because my Google Talk is working fine but I still can't download.
Any Suggestions?

I have HD2 with WP7 installed and activated. Location option is on. So I start bing maps to see my location and nothing. I was thinking it was running slow and I left it like that 5 minutes. Nothing changed. The thing is foursquare sometimes work and I can't explain why.
Does anyone share this problem or is it just me?
Same Here..
Do have data on? To get a fast fix you need either mobile data or WiFi. Otherwise the GPS may need up to 30 min. to get a fix. Also try if other GPS soft like Navigon is getting a fix. For me it takes something like 20 sec.
I changed to the Google map. Better info too. I cant post the link, but just search for Google map for wp7 xap.
Thanks man. I've been waiting for a reply for a week. Reinstalling WP7 to see if it's working. I got bored of android..
Edit: I installed WP7, activated it, first time bing maps got my location. After a reset ... nothing. I tried google maps but the same... can't get a location.

I read somewhere that bing maps only makes problems in non US or non UK countries. I see you are from UK so I don't understand why you had problems.
After two days of periodic testing I can say that the GPS on this phone has personality. It's either not sensing anything or it's getting a signal in 2 seconds.
If you don't mind using google maps instead of bing, try "TAmaps".
Got a crazy maximum 5s GPS fix (and don't forget to activate 3G, must increase location data fix)
No bing maps are rubbish. Google Maps gives better coverage in many parts of the world than Bing Maps.
(Sakem: I could not remeber the name), but thats it. TA Maps is the one to get. You can purchase it via marketplace, or down load the free version via web.
