Anyone else having GPS issues with FroYo?

No apps, including the stock browser on google.com, seem to be able to get my GPS location.
Oddly enough, putting the phone in the dock, and going to maps or navigation, GPS seems to work fine.
Edit - To be clear, I mean putting the phone in the car dock.

I'm having similar issues. I'm unable to get a location/GPS fix within any browser, Inc stock, and within the news/weather widget. Other apps, inc gmaps obtain a fix as normal. Any suggestions for a fix?

Same happened to me after I first upgraded but working fine now. Try rebooting.

No, tried that numerous times already. Anyone have an other ideas?

My AGPS is not working after upgrade to Froyo...
I have tried rebooting, clearing application data, etc...
Finally I did a factory reset and it worked..
I have after factory reset, I checkd my APN information..
My phone providers information is automatically entered for me.
Before I just had the APN name in it.. and it is not working...

everything's working fine for me.

I have the same problem.
But I have noticed this is only when I'm not moving, if I'm in a car it works just as it should and finds my position very fast. But sitting at home or work it never finds my location.. have I missed anything?! I have selected both wifi and GPS in settings.

I wiped and it fixed itself. However, now my GPS is always on, or the icon for it is always active. Trying to figure out how to solve that.

Had to wipe mine too.. works great now though!

I've just tried wiping, but no still no fix. Restoring back. I guess it's not really important, but it certainly is annoying.

Using beautiful widgets, by chance?
And by wipe, you just mean factory reset from recovery, right?

Yep. Uninstalled it and the problem stopped. It's a shame, that clock widget is, well, beautiful!

Yep, I'm sure they'll update it soon.
I just wiped and still have no GPS though

Scratch that, works after a wipe and reboot!

Oh, turn off GPS in beautiful widgets and manually set the location. Problem solved until they update it.

i did a factory reset and restore and gps still doesn't work!!

Weirdly the GPS works within the browser when I visit mobile.twitter.com, but still no joy with google.com or the news widget.
The plot thickens.

I'm having the same issue, and I don't have Beautiful Widgets. I'm running Paul's ROM which I assume most of you are too.

I am having the same issue. I downloaded the manual update from google and installed froyo that way. I have rebooted, factory reset and nothing seems to fix the GPS issue. The GPS is the primary use of my device. Is there a way to revert back to 2.1 if there isn't a fix?

[Q] Android Market stuck on Starting Download

I have tried several different 2.2 builds on my (AT&T) HTC Pure. Most of what is supposed to work does, and it's fun to play with. However, what's really holding me back is an inability to download anything from the Android Maket. I can sign-in and browse just fine, but when I "Install" something and go to the downloads tab, all I find are apps that say "Starting Download" with a perpetually cycling progress bar. I've let it run for 15 minutes and never got anything to actually download. I do not have a data-plan, so I use wifi. I have verified that wifi works.
I have also noticed that I cannot sign into gTalk. I've seen several posts suggesting that once you sign into gTalk, that I'd be able to download apps (and vice-versa), but so far, neither of these applications/features is working for me.
The latest install I've tried is XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.FRX01.17.09.10.UPDATE_PACKAGE.7z and it still has this problem.
Has anybody else gotten around this problem and have some advice???
I tried using my phone to create a new google account, and that worked, but I still couldn't download.

Happened to me as well. I just forgot about it, and after a while I got an alert that one of the apps is now installed (and indeed working). The other apps on the list hanged as well, and took a lot of time to start downloading.
Seems like a nasty bug to me.

it's a small comfort to know I'm not alone, but I still haven't seen anything download successfully, and as long as I can't install new apps (from the market), there's really no point in using [XD]Android.

Try settings/applications/manage applications/market 'all tab' and force stop. Clear cache. Clear data. So next time you use market it is like new and downloads and installs without hanging etc. Your downloads tab should still have a record of apps you downloaded.

thanks anunna, but that didn't work. I tried downloading the apks for App Brain and the associated "Fast Web Installer" and copying to my device (storage card), but that doesn't seem to work any better. I guess those apps still depend on Android Market to download.

aarrrrrghh. so frustrating... I have now installed Rhod.2.2BLAZN.092610 with the new builds from 9/25 (hw 3d included), and still have this problem. Does anybody have any ideas?? I dont' see how this could be device-specific. ?? I've tried different gmail accounts, different builds, and different wifi networks. The only thing I haven't tried (and can't really) is accessing market over 3G. I say "can't" because I actually have a data-block on my phone to prevent unintentional use and associated charges.
Does anybody have any advice for troubleshooting ?
thanks.

BTW, this is what worries me about WP7: one source for all your apps = single point of failure.

I'll just keep updating my own thread here...
Installed the latest build from 9/28, and nothing's changed.
This time, I went straight into Google Talk and got stuck on the "signing in" screen. Eventually it came back with a message stating, "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." This is bogus though, since I can do nearly everything else on the internet, via my wifi connection.

I have the same problem. Android Market doesn't download any software, "Starting Download..." stage never ends...

ashway, have you tried opening Google Talk? Also, do you have a data plan on your phone (3G)?

I haven't try Google Talk yet, will try later. I do have a data plan, do you mean that Market works via 3G and doesn't through WiFi?

I have a data-block on my phone (so I don't accidentally rack up per Kb charges), so I access everything via WiFi. I've seen people suggesting that toggling between wifi or cellular can get it to work, but that's not an option fo me.

(thanks for your update though)
Has anybody been able to download from A.M. over WiFi without ever using 3g?

It just happened to me while i'm updating a few apps. I did some research and found an article and follow that way. what you need to do is to un-install the app that you're updating. after that, forced close the Market app and clear the cache. then try again to install it from market. well, it works for me.
by the way, there's also another bug that make Market FC every time when u download an app. if it happen to you, just open Setting>Applications>Manage Application> Market and click "Uninstall Updates".

I am in Malaysia and I have this problem too. It is either "Starting Download...", "Download Unsuccessful" or "Download Paused" message.
I'd tried both 3G (3 different telcos; Vodafone while in NZ, Optus while in AU and Maxis in MY)and WiFi (different AP; at least 10). While connected, I can do everything except for download apps from Market. Also tried signing in different Gmail account.
Being desperate, I tried to install Apps via "adb install" command. Guess what, I couldn't uninstall my apps (both using "adb uninstall" and "Settings > Application > AppName > Uninstall"). It force close everytime I tried.
I got OTA updates for FRG83 twice hoping it will fix my Market problem, but it did not install because it can't. When I tried sdcard:update.zip, I got status 7 error. Some livewallpaperspicker.odex error. Tried searching for the odex but couldn't find one specifically for Nexus One.
Also tried rooting my phone and install ROM Manager. Performed a Fix Permission issue (which it claims often fix Force Close message; one friend recommended this too) and all I got is "An error occurred while attempting to run privellege...". I am sure it is rooted with Superuser Permissions showing "Allow" status. To confirm, I had Move2SD installed and able to port most apps to SD without the developer setting the option.
Just want to share this with all of you that have this problem. Is there anyone can help? The only thing that makes me keep this phone is because its a gift from my wife. Or else I would just get something else.

guys I have the same problem as you do! something I noticed though is that the phone doesnot recognise my SD card and market is downloading the apps on the card . can you pls check your sd card if they are mounted and recognized propperly!

restarting the phone and letting the card mount propperly fixed the adnroid market download freeze issue

brafun, are you using XDAndroid on a TD2/Pure? Were you experiencing problems only when using wifi? do you have a cellular data plan/connection? Does wifi download work now? I'm a bit confused, since XDAndroid is installed on my SD, I don't see how you can have Android running without recognizing it.
thanks

Your guess is as good as mine but the fact is that when I was trying to download an app the behaviour was exactly the same as you described it! It said Starting Download and froze at that point. Cleaning the Cache of market didnt help at all. THen I just started looking for reasons why is this happening, and in "SD card and phone storage" I saw that the SD card was marked as not mounted... check yours and see what it says

Google Assistant over Mobile Data

I just updated my watch to Android Wear 2.0
If I try to use Google Assistant while my phone is connected to WiFi, it works (and really well, like to send a whatsapp to someone)
The moment I try to use Google Assistant without WiFi (over Mobile Data) it says 'Can't reach Google, check if watch is connected to WiFi or your phone'
Funny thing: if I connect the phone to a WiFi signal WITHOUT Internet connection, assistant works again...?
Does anyone else have this problem? I already tried enabling every option at Settings/Apps/System Apps/Google ...

Well that is one of the reasons I rolled back to 1.5.
It would work sometimes and many times it would give me that cant reach message so basically it was making my watch useless as it was very inconsistent. :/

I'm having the same issues, I've done the enabling permissions thing as well. Any one have any other experience with the issue?
Along side google assistant not working the play store won't load or even the weather!
That being said, even though those services aren't working google maps on wear runs fine.
These are some odd problems.
*** Update! ***
Not sure what happened but for some reason it started working.

Did you factory reset anything? (your phone or watch?) installed or flash something?

Well I am on the 2 core enabled kernal. I also followed instructions to give Google all permissions on the app Page. I turned on location from phone on the watch (not sure if that helps) and probably reset about 5-7 times haha.

I also have the 2 core enabled kernel. If it's not much to ask, could you be more specific on the steps for the permissions and the location? Thanks in advance.

Sure, open settings--> apps ---> (Scroll down) system apps ----> google ---> permissions ---> enable permission to phone/etc... (I enabled all of them)

I noticed something today, make sure you have location services turned on, on your phone. I turned it off for a minute by accident and noticed none of the google assistant stuff worked anymore, back on and it worked well!
Cheers

Thank you! I'll try it next time I update to AW2, right now I'm using 1.5 again

Also having somewhat of the same issue... Here's what's happening to me.
Sometimes Google Assistant works and sometimes it's doesn't for me. When it's not working my watch shows that I am not connected to Bluetooth in the connectivity settings. However, my phone (ZTE Blade X Max Z983) shows I'm fully connected, and I'm getting all notifications as normal on my Asus Zenwatch 2. If I reboot both devices everything works perfectly as it should for a short time. And of course it works fine when I'm connected to WiFi, just not over Bluetooth on a mobile data connection. Both my phone and my watch are running 7.1 so I'm not sure if the where the issue lies.

Apple Music Crash

Installed Apple Music and it has been working fine since launch until recently. At launch it will just crash in about a second. I've tried clearing cache and data, reinstalled, and rebooted the phone to no success.
Anyone else has/had any issues with this?

I have the exact same problem. Switched from an iPhone to Huawei P20 Pro. Apple Music was fine for a week and since yesterday it keeps crashing. Installed old version APKs, tried cleaning everything, even resetting the phone to factory settings although there were no firmware updates. Literally tried everything and no luck.
And that's just one of the issues I am having. Some SMS messages won't show up in the default messaging app, notifications won't show on lockscreen. Some strange OS hiccups happening all the time. The whole office here tried to enable the notification content on the lockscreen - we know where the option is - but it just doesn't work. The SMS isssue is beyond Huawei support and carrier support. And hey, we are phone reviewers, we know stuff FFS...
Anyway, joining the wagon with Apple Music crashing and hoping for some resolution.

Me too, signed up to a free 3 months a few days ago. Working well yesterday, since this morning I can't open the app.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared cache/data and nothing. EE handset too. Although didn't use the 6 months free offer from EE. I'll use that when my 3 month one expires.

Out of interest, if your having the apple music crash, do you also have the issue with Google maps? I have both! Starting to wonder if the problems are linked and I need to go for a replacement handset.

I don't have other apps crashing, just Apple Music. Used Google Maps this morning.
Also I used AM on lots of Android devices, this is the first one where it completely stopped working.

I'm using the EE 6 MTH trial and both apple music and Google maps are still working fine for me.
It could be a simple phone setting or another app conflicting with it.

It could, but nothing is fixed even after factory reset. It just happened in a slow day with no new installed apps or updates (I have just 8 apps anyway). Tried everything already. It's like it's an hardware issue...

Be worth checking with others and compare apps to see if it's that.
I installed an app similar to geekbench and it's stopped my pixel XL from switching on with the power button, i had to hard reset it to bootloader menu every time to get it going. Took some head scratching to narrow it down. Once app removed the phone was as good as new again

Yes. Although on a fresh install - I just download AM and that's it - it keeps doing it. I am now thinking of some carrier+phone related issue and will try by downgrading the carrier services, or switching SIMs...

Try going to settings, battery, app launch and set am to manual. Clear the cache etc and see if it helps. That's what mine is set to

It's a problem with Google play services. If you uninstall, then update again it will work again.

You're right, thank you. Just cleared data from Google play services and it's working again!

P20 pro Google pay doesn't work nothing happens

Hello
I did see a similar thread but I don't think it answers my issue. Basically nfc works to pair headphones etc. But when I try to use Google pay nothing happens when j touch the phone to a terminal. No sounds no vibrations. I installed Google play services beta, re installed Google pay and still nothing. My phone model is : CLT-L09 and this is in regards to the UK region with a UK card. Everything is installed properly.
Thank you

i know nfc payments work as i've used it numerous times, but you must have phone unlocked to make the payment

Thank you
I have tried with the phone unlocked - nothing happened still I am afraid. The phone does not even respond when touching a terminal.

I just tried using it with something else NFC as well and it worked just fine again - really curious why this is happening haha

Settings, Device Connection, NFC, Default Payment App? Should say Google Pay
Other than that, clear the data and try again. Leave the Play beta program, go back to normal google services (uninstall updates). Factory reset as last resort. Don't know otherwise i'm afraid!

Yes, it's google pay. Uninstalled/Reinstalled. I just tried a wipe cache partition - but have no terminal to test it.
Should I factory reset, do you have a good backup/restore app suggestion so that I won't go through the hassle of removing bloat/adding my apps again?
Tons of thanks for the help.

I've always used Titanium Backup, but it needs root, most if not all of the similar apps do. Think Google Play does back up stuff for you automatically, but I've never really used it. Otherwise you can backup/restore via HiSuite on your PC, takes ages, but does work. I'd reset as last resort though, uninstall updates & clear data etc for all the google apps first...just in case!

Tried factory reset, still nothing

I had similar issue with the Barclaycard app and had to go through and disable all the power management settings for the app. Now it works fine.
Would also be worth trying to make a payment when the app is open.
Haven't tried Google Pay yet

THanks for that tip.
I tried that - still nothing

I would like to report my problem solved !
Someone suggested I ask Vodafone UK to give me a new sim card, and that the solution worked for him when facing the same problem.
I was very skeptical as to why or how a new SIM would allow payment services to work, but hey. It did? I was able to use Google Pay right after installing my new simcard.
In case anyone in the UK has this issue and they are using an old style NFC sim card, replacing it with a new non-NFC one may solve this issue. Thanks !

still have the same issue i cant seem to add my card anymore t set up but on my razer phone 2 its fine
