Is there a location service fix for Android 2.2 Froyo? I enjoyed using google maps and earth on 2.1 but it doesnt work on 2.2
AI haven't been able to get it to work. In fact I don't think anyone on 2.2 has been able to get it working.
Can u get the latest Google earth (1.2.1 I think? From Market) to work on froyo? It FCs on me. I know it does not work on eclair (noted on NookDevs) but even for Frito I still can not get it to work.

So I noticed today that the google maps doesnt offer any of the "fly by" modes, cache or 3d buildings that it does on my droid X.
What gives?! Is there a way to fix this?
I'm running vegan beta 5.1 and have the 3d buildings once u zoom in far enough, however, I can't do the tilt or turn feature I have on my nexus s or the vibrant with 2.2
Wonder why? any idea if anyone is working on a fix for this?
Maybe because it doesnt have an internal GPS?
From what we can see maps is disabling some features on its own. I've been trying to mess with it when I have the time. It can be fixed I'm sure, but it will require some hacking.

Does anyone know where i can get google apps? I just flashed nookie froyo and it has absolutely nothing. Not even the market.
take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917660
I have a Samsung galaxy S i9000 with gingerbread 2.3.4 installed and rooted and nothing else installed.
When i go in to gallery to view my pictures and i swype to go from one to the next one it does not move smooth like it did in froyo it`s not a fluid move its a interrupted movement. Did not have this problem on froyo. i re-installed the os powered off the phone stopped most apps and services but the problem did not go away. Any suggestions ? It did this before and after i rooted it. did it on fresh install of 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 on 2.2 froyo did not had this problem. Any suggestions ? except the one that says go back to froyo ?
Well, just a suggestion, use Picturen Lite or Quickpic.
I know this doesn't actually answers your question, but the stock gallery is not that great.
I use QuickPic. It's without doubt the fastest and least cluttered gallery app out there. It's free but would pay for it! Give it a try

Hello.
I live in a "sanctioned" Country: Cuba
Meaning that I don't have access to the market, The app just closes itself after a few seconds trying to connect. I gess you know the huge problem this is, would you imagine yourself without access to the market???. Every website I go gives me a barcode linking to the market or says "Just go to the market and ..." and then I just have to smile.
I can get to the market using the browser but the service ask me to log in one time with the app and buy/download at least one app.
This is what I've done to try to workaround the issue.
Setup Proxy: Market App doesn't work with proxy. I think only the browser does.
Installed Market Access apk and/or Market Enabler apk. Any of these are suppose to emulate a different carrier so the market "thinks" I'm in another country. It doesn't work.
Setup VPN. This should hide my IP. VPN connects OK. I get different IP which i Can tell just by opening ipchicken.com. So digitally speaking I'm in california but MARKET is a no go.
Updated vending.apk with the app from a friend's phone and still the same.
Any Ideas?
I had given up a couple of months ago and I was getting everything from mediafire, megaupload etc. But since I joined xda-devs I'm eager to update and test new ROMs and ROM manager is not able to download Clokworkmode Recovery. This is annoying. I know I have some other ways to flash ROMs but I still want to get to the market anyway.
Samsung i897 Captivate Stock 2.1.1 Unlocked and Rooted.
Thanks.
Try installing and using this http://db.tt/ypqbCr8U to spoof the market.

That's what I get for reading/posting at 4:30 in the morning. :/
My best guess would be that american buisnesses are filtering all things cuban. ISPs and wireless providers included. Tough luck bro. get rid of the Castros.apk that should resolve most of your device issues.
You don't need Rom manager to get CWM, not for the captivate. You can drop in any rooted kernal and most of them have CWM available to them.

PLEASE NOTE - that if you want to update to Gingerbread 2.3 you need the newest bootloaders!
After locating myself on google map, there is no blue arrowhead representing my location. Only a blue dot appears. With other programs, I ve found that the compass of my device is working properly.
P.S: I am using 2.3.4 and Google map is the latest version
Any opinions about what happens?
Yea u r right but when u move the arrow will appear.... i faced it too when i was driving my car....

No i dint had that prob before... i feel its bcz of new update of map maybe....

I'm having the same issue, since i installed Google Maps 6 or something. In other programs compass works fine. In Google Maps v. 5.2 or something compass also works fine.
P.S. Now on 20n with Google Maps 6.3 - and still no luck with that.
Of course arrow appears when you move with GPS fixed to the satellites. It just draws vector from your previous location to current location. Compass is another thing - it shows your heading immediately, without GPS fix and even when you stand still.
i am so frustrated now....
anyone know how to report this problem to Google map? i ve done so on feedback on android market and google map forum. but seems, they dont care
besides, no one else has come across this problem? it seems no others have talked about this in the internet
I had same problem with google maps v6. So I downgrade the app to v5.12.0 and the blue arrow is back

Also, as a workaround, installing google maps [brut] 4.6 worked for me (as I was unable to remove/downgrade stock maps from unrooted phone)
Same bug with V20E Vietnam (tested google map v6 and 6.5 stock and 6.5 ownhere)
I think kernel stock LG bug !!!!
Someone test with rom CM7....it can working???
