google navigation behaving wierdly! Reading web addresses constantly! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Google navigation constantly reads me web addresses instead of directions! I assumed an update would fix it so waited for a new release but on updating it to the latest version it still happens.
It says things like http www dot xml dot maps dot speach synthesis colon etc etc... and basically goes on endlessly reading different addresses out. It seems like it may be a bug with the text to speach synthesis or something?? Does anyone have any ideas about how I might fix it?
Thanks

Pocket Outlook autocomplete in "To" Field

Hello
I am trying to turn on autocomplete in Pocket Outlook on my Touch Diamond, like it worked on the Kaiser. Autocomplete/ word-completion works everywhere else, but not in the "To" field, even if i typed that e-mail 100x times or used a e-mail address from a contact.
I just wanted to type a few letters and get a list of all the possible matches from cache and addressbook.
Any idea how to solve this issue ?
any idea ?
Is there really no one else out there having, this problem or any idea how to solve this issue ?
I am getting ready to order my Diamond, and I have a fear of this as well.
I think that this is a limitation of Windows Mobile, as on my mogul the contact auto-complete will work with the physical keyboard, but not with any of the on-screen one's.
If someone were able to find a fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Works fine here - the name doesn't "autocomplete" while you are typing but upon tapping Send suggests a match if the string hasn't been matched before.
yes i know that feature, but as far as i know this feature doesn't use the cached names i recently typed, it just uses the names/mails from contacts.
Anyway the "old" Kaiser with WM 6.0 could do this autocompletion on the fly, so i just can not understand why the Diamond should not be able to do the same thing while i am typing.
Hmm.
Occasionally I forward emails with my Diamond from my work exchange email address to my personal pop email address [email protected]_example_domain.com. Merely typing "work" or even "wo" and pressing Send fires off the email with no problem. But typing "allen" then pressing Send brings up a picker even when the address should be cached...
I've just fired up my Artemis (unbranded & WM6) and that displays a picker as soon as one begins to type....never mind.

Messaging App/Pocket Outlook crashes when you select "Check Names"

Hello,
I have search extensively with various keywords both in the top-level forums as well as Google and I cannot find a solution to this problem. Actually, I have only found one other person on another board who has even mentioned it (no replies yet) so I wanted to ask here.
I have an at&t Fuze and when I compose a message and type in a recipient name and select "Check Names" from the menu, it gives me a list of names and when I select one, it fills in the field correctly and then immediately crashes.
I have tried various cooked ROMs as well as the stock at&t ROM with them all producing the same results. Currently I am running Monx's ROMeOS 1.40.1 (which smokes BTW!) and I have tried every possible setting I can think of (including Adv. Config) to no avail. There are no other issues with the phone other than this. Could this be a HW issue? It might be a stretch considering the symptoms but I am willing to believe anything at this point...
Please Help!
Just found this thread - Im having the SAME issue... Im surprised that nobody else has the issue or that nobody else uses Check Names...
perhaps its a corrupt contact entry. Have you tried deleting and recreating it? Or is it happening for all contact entries?
Good thought - but unfortunately its happening for good contacts. Even NEW contacts. Occasionally it will find the contact, put the name in, then close out or when it cant find a contact, it will just close out. Furthermore, its only happening for e-mail message types. MMS/SMS the checknames function works fine...
I had the same problem with one of the latest ROMeOS 1.80.* versions.
Currently I don't have the problem with 1.95.1
If I remember right, if you start with adding the receipient it works, but if you first type your text message, and then add a contact, it will crash.
1.95.1 eh? Ill have to give it a go.
Mine will crash regardless of whether text is in the field first or not, i've tried both ways and have the same results.
In narrowing down the problem to add-on applications, did you have Xpress mail installed? or any other e-mail forwarding service? Im wondering if that has anything to do with it...
i've had the same issue as well.... but it's wierd..
if the contact is a personal contact, it works fine. if it has to search my business contacts (ota activesync/exchange 2007) it will crash.
@b_slice
No, don't have Xpress mail installed.
@godashram
I don't use business contacts.
Well, that helps to eliminate potential culprits.
godashram - Mine will crash regardless of contact type, business or personal
Just a +1 from me as well.
I'm using a HTC Diamond with the stock HTC 2.03 ROM. SMS crashes and goes back to Manila when using the 'check names' function.
It happens all the time: It doesn't matter which contact I try and it also doesn't matter if I've typed in a text message or not.
Programs running in the background are: Touchlockpro and Manila.
I hope someone can come up with the cause and the solution for this.
This seems to be an inherent bug in the Stock ROM. I've uploaded 4 to 5 ROMs from different chef's and NONE of them have this same issue.
Im currently rocking the Energy 3.0 WM 6.5 and contact searching and check names is working FLAWLESSLY.

IM Client

I'm seriously thinking of getting the TD2, but need some advise first. Can anyone recommend an IM client that I can use on the TD2 with Google Talk. I've had a search around the forums, but can't find any recommendations (in relation to the TD2).
If your using IM on the TD2, how does it alert you to new messages? Also, is there a status light on the TD2?
Thanks in advance to any help you can give me.
you can change the setting for receiving messages from vibrate to sound notification, and there is a led next to the top speaker which also alerts for messages

Try FRING, you'll like it. GoogleTalk, Skype, ICQ and so on -- all in one application
Fring seems to get stuck at "Logging in...", it's been going for about 8 minutes!
also try Nimbuzz. It supports Google Talk. I find it better than Fring because Fring used to hide the compose window with the soft keyboard on my Diamond 1 - so I couldn't check what I was writing. Nimbuzz works well, but doesn't have the SIP client that Fring has
Managed to get Fring working last night, over Wi-Fi. Still doesn't like running over T-Mobile though, I'm guessing T-Mobile must be blocking access because it supports VOIP. I seem to recall Fring has a Proxy server that you can use to get around this restriction, but when I go into Fring's SETTINGS menu, there's just a blank screen. I suppose this is a compatibility issue with the TD2 - the text is awfully big so maybe all the ticky boxes are off-screen? Had a poke in the registry and found some Fring registry keys, but not one to turn the proxy on and off.
Does anyone have any idea of how to fix the Settings screen to work properly, or what to change in the registry, or even if using the Fring proxy will work at all?
Many thanks for any pointers :O)
It's not going to be very useful over Wi-Fi only - I primarily want it for the Facebook Chat and need to be able to use it while out and about.

[Q] MIUI - Googlt Talk Empty Contact List

I just picked up a Droid 2 running MIUI 1.8.5 and immediately fell in love. One weird issue is that the Google Talk app's contact list is empty. I can browse all settings and menus just fine. When someone IMs me, I receive the status bar notification, but tapping that gives me just a text input field (no message display) that performs VERY slowly.
I tried updating to 1.8.12, but the behavior persists. I don't think this was always the case. I had a weird situation adding another Google account (it kept on becoming the primary account, so I had to removed BOTH and add them back in specific order.)
This sounds like a UI bug, but I haven't found any hints online. Other applications, like the message app, show the green "online" icon next to the contacts I would normally see on the list. A 1,000 internets to the person with an answer.

Email jumps to the bottom when refreshed - Rooted/stock 4.4.2

So I've had this bug for a while now, I've tried all I can think of to fix it. There doesn't seem to be an option for anything like this.
Every time I refresh any of my email accounts, from the E-Mail app, my entire inbox jumps to the very bottom (oldest) email. I then have to scroll all the way back up to see my newest unread email in the inbox.
It's not a sorting issue because the actual cursor on the right jumps down to the bottom as well. Any ideas?

I don't use the stock email app but there's probably a setting somewhere for "autoadvance" maybe try changing that to newest?
Like I said in the original post, there are no settings in the email app for that kind of thing. The only thing that comes close to that category is "Sort by" but like I said it's not a sorting issue. If it were a sorting issue my cursor would stay at the top and I would see the oldest emails first, the end of the alphabet first, etc. Instead the cursor is jumping to the very bottom of my email list instead of refreshing and staying at the top where the new emails are.
In regards to autoadvance, that is just a way to tell it what you want to see after you delete an email from the full screen message vs deleting it in list view.
