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.

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.
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.

Might be giving away my Nexus to my GF (dont know if i decide to keep Galaxy). She doesnt have data plan but needs good navigation...
Can anyone recommend a good USA, Froyo 2.2 navi ?

For US Based Co-Pilot works really well and is not too expensive $35. They were very slow to update to Froyo but the update runs well for me on stock FRF91. The Maps seem to be complete for the areas I've been in and used it (IL, IN, PA, VA, NC). The interface itself is smooth and fairly well laid out.
I have Sygic Mobile Maps as well but can't really recommend it. The interface itself is *painfully* slow. We are talking hit "next" in the menu and I have to wait 4-5 seconds for the next pane of static options to come up. It's so painful to use that I consider that a $54 mistake (not in the market and non refundable) and uninstalled it.
I don't think Navigon is available for the US, but that's an option outside of the US as well.
I bought Copilot as well. It works OK, not as good as TomTom that I had on my WM Touch HD. While I was waiting for the new Copilot version I found the IGO version for the Nexus one. Search for Motonav_JM-PPCW_v2 on google and you might find it.
Thanks guys, I didnt know copilot was updated. Good to know.
is there any free offline navigation for n1?
Try NavDroyd, free.
rmaps. It lets you use your own offline maps.
I just use the included navigation app with my N1

Google nav works better then my car nav except for crappy voice. But I need offline
I use Motonav (igo for hd screens) and it's great.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Also, if "offline" doesn't mean "completely offline", but rather "can stand 50kB of data transferred per navigation, but no more than that" - then you can try Waze.
Ah, didn't notice you said offline. Can't help you there, because I always use maps that just download from google maps, since I'm always using the cell network.
Has anyone done this on their Xoom?
Any obvious changes for better or worse?
What version is the update? I have 5.1.1 but IDK whether that's an update or not.
EDIT: Nevermind. I just saw the update. Google Market needs to work on the notification system.... Gonna try it now.
UPDATE: No problems so far. I love Google Maps BTW - One of the reasons to get the Xoom
it adds dynamic traffic rerouting. but yeah, for some reason google apps don't show up under my apps thats why we aren't getting notified on them; you can search the app and it will give you the option to update.
This should be interesting. I'm in NYC several times a week and notice that the traffic on GM is generally wrong especially in Manhattan. Even using it on the approaches into NYC from NJ, I find Inrix and MSN to be much more accurate.
The Latitude launcher button moved from next to the menu button to the left side of the screen, all by itself. Took me a sec to find it, but I'm glad I did cause I almost just complained that they removed the button altogether

Hi all, i have an Ascend P7-L00. knew everything was gonna be crap when i did a first sign in of google. but didn't noe it was going to be this bad.
1.) Google Accounts can't sync contacts. i have tried formatting the phone a few times
2.) mobile signal on slot1 will drop every once in awhile
3.) GPS signal will drop every few km travelled
4.) installed nova launcher cos the stock is real slow! my 2yrs old note2 doesnt have non of those issues at all. haiz.
Don't have the issue with sync, but I have the P7_L10 though.
Reception of signal is little more worse when I compare it with my prev phone: Sony Xperia S
Speed is good in my opinion.
haiz, now in thailand, using a local sim on slot1, occasionally it will show i am roaming, and no data is available, turning on data roaming doesnt get internet back on also.

I am experiencing similar problems with:
1) same problems for the google account. other people found solutions, but i just use outlook account instead for the time being. as remember the P7-L00 is a China unicom phone. so i try to workout how to report these to Huawei. buy i think you can send email to their USA or Europe support center: [email protected]
i will try to write a summary and send to this address. i think you need to do the same. otherwise no one knows what is going on?
2) 4G lte ( i am using Telstra's 1800mhz 4G), some times the signal drops, and the phone is trying to scan for wifi even i had wifi turned off. looks like there are some bugs there. it is very annoying when i am using skype to chat with someone, the in every few minutes i need to turn on the data again. somehow it switches off by itself, then start to scan for wifi ( even with the wifi disabled)? i did not see this problem until i start to use skype.....
4) the phone is very fast after i had removed/ disabled most of the Chinese apps. it is faster than my note 7105 lte.
hope anyone else can share some of the experience about these.

I do not update anymore, because in my eyes the Chinese ROM updates only prevent customisation on the phone.

i have just updated this new 124 version. it seams a bit smoother. but i will test the 4G LTE signal drop issues to see if the new version fix the problem. the new rom has new baseband. i think it may help the signal in 4G/3G, etc.

i would try to unroot it first. and doing a factory reset, then install the new factory 124ps01 firmware. I have two sim cards, the OTA is not ready yet, so i installed the upgrade via usb drive. just connect to a usb drive to your phone, and select update from usb.
most chinese apps can be removed, then only few huawei's apps which can be disabled. the new firmware experience is good, especially the network signal, and battery performance. i left the phone with airplane mode at 11:00 pm, and this morning at 9:00, it did not even drop 1% at all. tried few skype and other voip calls, and found that the 4G signal is more stable than before. the phone is also very fast. i was trying to root the phone before, but giving up due the new firmware does not allow root at this moment. but i think the factory firmware is optimized and it is very fast - much faster than my note 2 that i can compare with. so i am happy. i will give it a few more days test to see how it is going.

How to install Gapps to P7-L00
Everyone having problems with Google service on his/her P7-L00 (or other Chinese market variant) should be aware of the bad news: the phone simply lacks the good-old Google apps. But the good news is that you can install all required apps without rooting and/or flashing the phone. You can install them as any other Play app. It is so because the firmware has built-in two core apps: the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk. These apps enable to install further Google apps.
The simplest way is to search the web for 'Google Installer' app (I think here, in XDA it's also present), download it and install to phone, and then the app itself provides a list from which you can choose the apps you need (Play Store, Gmail, Search, Hangouts, Translate -- whatever!).
Take note that both GoogleCalendarSync and GoogleContactSync app are very important to install otherwise you would not be able to use you Contact and Calendar apps with your Google account.
