Navigation issues.

My navigation hasn't been working for a while.
I can get directions in maps and it sets a route ok. When I select navigate (either from app list or through maps) it hangs on 'getting driving directions'. I can see the data is active but then its not and the nav doesn't kick in.
What can I do to get it working as I use the feature (or used to) a fair bit?

That's useful thanks. But that isn't my problem. Gps fix is good on my handset. The problem is somewhere in the data transfer into the navigation app.

Actually I have the same problem. The phone is just saying getting route information,and then nothing happens. There is fine GPS connection, I can see my position on the map in the background, while its just stuck in the search. Could me very helpfully if someone have a explanation.

Tomorrow I will try to see if this works. I'm on insanity, so the chances should be okay.

Searched for the items listed in tge market but couldnt find any of them. Is it possible the fix is only good on insanity. Im on ultimate.
Have you had any luck?

What is AngryGPS?

What is AngryGPS and why should I leave it on my phone... as I already have 4 other GPS apps I use? There is precious little information on Google about it.

Never had that app, maybe you should ask the creator of your custom rom?

I am wondering this too, Ultibread installed it on my phone and I have no clue what it is

That doesn't tell us anything about AngryGPS.

I believe it's part of Google Maps for their navigation. Weird name for a navigation system though. What if it gets angry and gets you lost?

Idk but i think is not much usefull? I deleted that from my rom and my gps is happy. It cant go angry now. Btw the performance of gps dont decrease.

is it only on samsung stock roms? I could not see it on ICS port for captivate

It was meant to fix GPS problems for the first batch of Galaxy S devices in which the GPS was "utterly broken" and "non-functioning".

Perhaps it is used for finding the device when lost?
Just an educated guess really, but i'm guessing it's one of the apps used when you ping your phone remotely. Perhaps it's always running in the background and can't be turned off for security purposes? Hence the term "Angry" GPS. Couldn't say for sure though. Again, just an educated guess.

Can't get GPS to lock at all

so here's the story. I've never been able to get a GPS lock with my captivate. I didn't try the GPS when I was originally on stock so i'm not sure if it ever worked. I'm currently on cm7 and when I turn GPS on and go to maps or GPS test the GPS icon comes up in the status bar but just continuously blinks.I've flashed back to stock with Odin and got nothing while on stock either. it won't find even a single satellite. I've tried a dozen different modems to no avail and a bunch of GPS fixes and GPS aids. Has anyone had a similar problem? I've looked high and low for a fix for this thing. Got any ideas i'm up for trying anything right about now.

You shouldn't have a problem with a phone that new. I believe any phones built or refurbished after last November have working GPS. I'd recommend flashing back to stock and hitting an AT&T device center.

Even, though I've had my phone replaced over this summer I've still had horrible gps with most roms. But from this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16306082#post16306082 , I've had absolutely fantastic results. It's extremely simple too. Just copy and past in /system/etc and replace the original gps.conf that's there. Try this first. Hope it helps

Does it work on I897 roms or just I9000 ports?

I don't think it matters. I've used it with both. All have the same gps.conf file

[Q] Sky Go on ICS?

Basically,
Sky Go came out today and it says that the Galaxy is is supported. But, when I try to load it up, it says your device is not supported and I take it that it's saying that because I've got AOKP ICS on there.
Would anyone know a way of fixing this?
Thankssss

The resolution is fine after a minute or so.
Current problem appears to be that no other channel other than Sky news works, possibly because it is non encrypted.
Possible issue caused by rooted phones not being supported but that is a little unclear as people with unrooted phones are also experiencing the same issues, ie, the app is sticking at the buffering screen and shows no pictures.
Apart from that, its fantastic

I see there is a discussion going on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22781731
They talk about apps that temporarily revoke root access to the phone to trick the Sky Go app into thinking you have a stock ROM. Sounds like too much effort for one app tbh, but I thought I'd share in case you hadn't seen it!

First try. Issue with kk's 2012-11-11 JB ROM

Hi all,
My first post, and as of yesterday my first custom ROM. Despite some sweaty moments it worked fine thanks to the guidance on this forum and some leaps of faith Can't reply to the relevant thread directly since I'm n00b.
Was very happy with this, however one killer issue that's meant I've had to revert to stock is that Google Talk (installed via GApps link with the ROM) crashes to desktop (no FC dialog) when i attempt to use voice or video within it. Skype seems to work fine though. Anyone else experienced this? I haven't seen it previously reported on here which makes me think maybe I didn't clear something properly (I used cwm recovery 5.5.0.4 to wipe cache, factory reset and clear dalvik prior to flash). I tried repeating the entire upgrade twice from scratch but same issue is still apparent.
Thanks for the coolness and hopeful for some help and further development.

Hey.
You're not the only one. I have the same issue with Google Talk. I, like you, thought that I wasn't installing something right. I even went as far as using an outdated gapps package, namely 20120726, to no avail. If you've gotten help with this, please let me know. Otherwise, I have no idea what else to do. I don't want to revert to stock because, quite frankly, its terrible. Also, to anyone else reading this, any help would be appreciated.

Try uninstalling talk after you've flashed the Rom and then reinstalling it. Had a similar problem with Google search.

I just checked the tablet and i dont see an option for uninstalling the app. just force close and disable. I also checked the play store to try and download the app, but i dont see it in there. maybe i'm missing something? like i said before, any help would be appreciated.

I'm not familiar with Google talk, is it the same as voice. To uninstall you'll need tibu or something like that.
I did find talk to chat in the play store which maybe the same thing you're talking about

Hey, I just want to thank you for your response. Its been a big help. Unfortunately, google talk isn't the same as voice. Its the chat client that is found in gmail and stuff. They just have a separate app for it on android devices. I think i may just use skype to video chat since i can't seem to find a fix for this and I can't bring myself to go back to the stock rom. If anyone happens to find a fix or knows of one, please let us know. Thanks.

same problem here

gtalk doesn't work
My first ROM as well and facing the same problem with GTalk. Skype & Hangout on Google+ works fine. I was also wondering probably i missed a step.
But this ROM is so awesome don't want to restore. Other problems I am facing is that USB is not getting recognized on tablet and 3G not working. Any of you facing similar problem with 3G and USB?

As far as 3G, my tablet is the WiFi only, so I can't help you there.
With the usb, have you tried turning on the MTP setting? When you connect the tablet, go to settings>storage> and in the upper right hand side of the screen, if you press on the 3 dot things, you are going to see USB computer connection. press that and you will see the option to turn on MTP. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies, glad to know I'm not alone with g talk. Finally got stock ics ota but it's terrible! Prime example is Swype keyboard often appears the size of a credit card. Going back to cm as soon as talk fixed also had the USB issue but didn't try the workaround
