Maps App Crashing and Hot Rebooting Some Custom ROMs - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

well, as i have going around, i have been noticing that some of us guys have been having issues with the latest Two versions of Google Maps.
I have Tested it on at least 3 rooms and the problem is consistent ... so me and few other mates have come to the conclusion that the problem is with the app itself. not the rom.
if you have Experience this.
what i have done to fix it i just downgraded to a good working version of Google maps.. IE: Maps 6.9.2v or 6.9.0v these work great.
Hopefully the Devs at google are working on this!!!!
If anybody has a different idea or better imput as to how and why this is happening please feel free to share..
:good:

I have no problem with navigation on maps 6.9.2... Have been using it on miui 2.9.14 for a week... Every day

I have run many roms now. All of them including miui crash and hot reboot as op states. Miui can't seem to get a GPS lock. Other roms work fine with a downgraded map program. Stock seemed to work fine.

WeatherBug Issues

I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as I am with weatherbug. It seems as if it no longer is updating and the specified intervals and you have to go in the app and manually refresh it. Anyone else having this issue and if you are have you found any solution to it?
Same problem, no response from developers...
Sad situation, nothing we can do but complain.
Mind started randomly doing this after the last update too.
Most of the time it works properly, but some times I will check it and it hasn't updated for a day. It's weird because the thing used to be flawless.
I was also having this issue randomly not updating I unistalled it
Were you guys trying both accuweather and google? I know google isn't as reliable as accuweather with this app.

Its not the weather, its The app that is not updating. The support contacted me and told me to check if any task killers are killing the app and if that doesn't work to reinstall. Well I don't use a task killer and reinstalation doesn't work. I've also noticed that if the phone is asleep for a long time with no network activity it doesn't update but if your using the phone it does update on its own

Gotcha. I don't see a lapse in refresh on my end. And I flash ROMs every week or so heh...

Could be gingy. I know that for example the Sony Ericsson LiveView cannot connect via BT to it as of now, so it would not surprise me. Have you notified the dev if their app is indeed gingerbread compatible?
I recall that when Froyo went live or ROM flashable for me, lol...Weatherbug had similar issues until they updated the apk.

Make sure you didn't move the WeatherBug app to SD Card (via Froyo method, a2ext should be fine) because that will kill the service quickly.

[Q] Miui GPS

gps has worked well for me. not the best I have ever had but not bad. Try different modem/kerne
I use the evo 4g with sprint. Im running miui 1.4.29 and everything is working fine. The gps is flakey, i use the telenav and it seems to stall. App loads i enter the address and it keeps searching for gps, then it fails and i hit retry and then it loads the route, but it doesnt move like as if it lost signal. Anyone can help?
gps works awesome for me. you need to just find the right modem kernel combo and i think you'd be surprised.
I'm having GPS issues since rooting and ROM-ing RD-MIUI-2.4.13_ICS-EN-DESIRE HD.
Using Google Navigation, I get a GPS lock on straight away but after about 5 minutes, it just keeps searching for GPS. Is there a way of installing the stock GPS Radio only?

Well, that's true! It looks really nice, and it is simple to use. There is just one problem that I found. Sometimes when there is an update for an app (don't know if it is random or some particular apps) there is no Update button, only Open button that will run that application. You can update that app only when you have two or more updates and update them all at the same time. Anyone experienced this?

Agree on the updates and the fact it is sometimes slow. Wonder how much data it is downloading when you open it.
I think the new market is hideous!
looks like WP7 with all those tiles.

It happens on ICS on the Rezound too. Not on my Transformer though.

I was looking on Skype's reviews and it turns out that people who have upgraded to ICS have the problem. Long story short: Skype needs to upgrade.

Ok I have the same problem however, I was in Vegas this afternoon and was able to use skype while on the AT&T LTE service and my picture was great! NO GREEN!!! When I got home this evening to my slower 5 mbps speed the picture was green again. I think it has to do with ICS and the speeds that we are downloading with. Gary
I use oovoo as an alternative right now.
I noticed that Skype had an update, so I updated it hoping that it would be a fix to the problem. Unfortunately, the green is still there. Skype is not fixing our problem!!! >.<

fixes problems for Sensation/Amaze users with skype, your device uses the same gl files since ICS update.

BBC News not compatible ?

Anyone managed to get the apk for BBC news as showing incompatible with the one ?
Weird as it works on other 4.1.2 handsets
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
This might be something to do with the screen resolution that the handset? I remember seeing some thread on Modaco that mentioned that some apps in the play store couldnt be used because of that reason. Will try to did up a link.
I'm sure that it will be sorted out soon anyway.
Cheers
Here is the latest apk. It will install and update itself - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16051659/bbc.mobile.news.uk-2.apk

Works ok for me too, although initially couldn't find it on Play Store. It turned up on the Top Free tab and installed fine
