HELP!!!!!!!! Evo GPS not functioning - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys Im rooted with 2.10 HBOOT and nand unlocked ...running MikFroyo 4.2 and cant get my GPS in google maps to function right all it says whenn i open GMAPS up is checking for navigation availability ....AND YES my gps is on .. IDK if uit has somethin to do wit location setting ..but **** is gettin on my nerves lol ...please help

download "gps status" from the market and in the settings there is an option to clear gps cache. Do that then also run the option for download a gps data. Should clear up any problems unless u have a much deeper problem which in that case a factory reset may be your only recourse.

Very lame question, but did you turn off data saver? That prevents you from downloading anything from the market on 3g.
There is a market fix that worked for me like a charm in 2.2 UK and FIN too, but I guess that won't help you.
If it's not the data saver then go to settings, apps, manage apps, find the market and clear data. That should solve your problem.
Turn off wifi , clear market data, and re-open market.
Yes data saver off dnt use wifi only coz i avnt got it at ome lol n wiped cache n stuf for market n any chance u cud point me in the direction 4 tha market fix cnt find it anywer cheerz

I am experiencing the same problem. Tried a lot of methods like clearing cache and all but nothing worked.
Everytime I start a download it says 'downloading' for a few seconds and then says 'download paused' and remains there.
This issue is on wifi only, and happened out of the blue yesterday. On my 3g data connection the apps download just fine.
What can I do?

Android Market/YouTube not working

Hi guys,
Its happened again. I started a thread about a problem I had with my android market when I suddenly couldn't download anything..just stuck at "downloading" with the stripes scrolling endlessly. Its just reappeared. Along with the similar problem with the youtube app "there was a problem while playing this video. touch to retry". I reflashed my ROM with ODIN, then wiped all app data then out of frustration..hard reset. Lost all the apps. STILL NOT WORKING. Clearly some Google Account problem. I lost. My wonder feels like a brick without the market working. I had a google account problem when I first bought the phone and had to use a workaround involving setting up a youtube channel. Now I'm really lost.
What kinda Google Account problem?
You on someone's blacklist or what??
Forgive my curiosity....you in China?? GFW??

No I'm not in China, I'm in Ghana in West Africa. I updated three apps last nite on my work WiFi. Before that I'd tried doing it with my 3G network but it was stalling like it is now. When it worked on the WiFi I just thought it was fine. Then tried using the market this morning on my home WiFi and thats when the panic set in. It just seems its not a problem locally on my phone since I've literally WIPED IT CLEAN it but the market still not working. Starts the download, the stripes begin scrolling and continue endlessly. Its as if the google account is malfunctioning somehow but I don't know....
OK.....
You try clear cache and data on Market App in Settings/Applications/Manage
Or maybe fix permissions in Clockwork and Dalvik Cache....

I've cleaned every cache..no good. Done a hard reset(lost all my apps!)..still no good. Can you elaborate on fixing clockwork/dalvik?(Don't have custom recovery installed by the way but have root and TTB Pro installed)

Hi again
Reading through your posts.... you seem to have tried almost everything.....
including reflashing ROM...
which ROM you use.....??
So my suggestion regarding Dalvik Cache and Fix Permissions may be redundant.....however, there I'd an option in Titanium Bkup to repair Dalvik....
Menu/more/Clean up Dalvik.....
Also, there is an App on Market to allow Fix Permissions, but, AFAIK, only 1 App at a time....can you get Market on PC/Laptop???
[Fix permissions is Linux thing, ensuring each file has correct "permissions".]
Perhaps apk can be download and side loaded on phone!!!!
Maybe try install ClockworkMod Recovery[CWM] ......it is in the forum, you can flash with ODIN or push with adb.
This will allow you to any least create Backup[Nandroid].....so you will always be able to restore your full phone contents, Apps, etc.
Sent from my GT-I8150 on Lanzarote Canary Vacation using Tapatalk
Thanks for the concern Irish. I indeed cleared the Dalvik(twice) with TTB before my eventual hard reset. Now there's an update to all this:
-Setup another google account and immediately was able to download a few apps while my phone was stuck on Edge(My mobile data fluctuates between 3G and 2G at home even though I do have 3G most of the time).
-My luck even lasted after the signal switched to 3G(still got two or three apps in) after which I switched to my home wifi to see if it was really fixed...but no. Once I switched to the wifi I was back to square ONE. Switching back to the mobile data network didn't help.
-HOWEVER, at work last nite, I used the wifi at work and the market WORKED flawlessly. Didn't miss a step. Got back the bulk of my 40+ lost apps thankfully.
NOW:
I guess this has more to do with my ISP at home which happens to be my cellular network provider as well(Vodafone GH). But I'm really at a loss now. Even if it was due to some new restrictions by vodafone wouldn't there be a way around it? I know about Android Market and port 5228 and all but I doubt vodafone would block the market when they've got the GS2/Tab on their portfolio. And I've got some evidence that my workplace ISP is a client to...VODAFONE. What a mess!!!
Thanks for your concern though. I'll look for the fix permissions app since that could make a difference. Its the only thing I havent tried anyway! Maybe it'll have to be next time I'm at work(If I cant find the apk).
PS:-I use the XEU unbranded rom (I8150XXLA2_OXXKL4_XEU (2.3.6)). Bought my phone in the UK sim-free
-My WiFi at home is 802.11g while that at work is 802.11n. Both have worked flawlessly with my Wonder and specifically my android market until now.
OK man.....hope you get it fixed.
Don't forget also CWM recovery will allow you backup total phone existing setup.....
so, if you lose stuff again, you only need to restore your backup to recover all Apps, data, everything on your phone.....
so no need to restore Apps again to get back to where you were before crash.
BTW.....fix permissions from Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stericson.permissionfix&hl=en
Although it is pretty basic!!!! But it's from Stericsson.....he is dev for best Busybox Installer!!!!
Honestly, from what you say, I would suspect your home WiFi, you check router settings, etc.
BTW....TB does not completely wipe Dalvik....just repairs what it think's is missing.....
If you had CWM....you could completely wipe this, and run fix permissions. after making.g Nandroid bkup.....
Also, if you used V6 Turbo charger Memory Management Script....there is option to wipe Dalvik.....
It is no prob doing this, simply gets rebuilt by system, but without a lotta built-up rubbish....
Also, with CWM you can wipe all partitions before flashing new ROM....always a good idea.

I've backed up all my apps on my ext. sd with TTB but from all the stories I've read on our forums of FC's when restoring backups from TTB, its wise to get the CWM and do the nandroid. And will try downloading the app. Thanks for your time Irish. Will report back if(or when) its finally resolved. Interesting response from google; seem to share the idea that it has a more to do with 'connectivity' to their servers:
This is their latest response:
Thanks for writing me back. Your reply was very helpful, It's always nice to receive a detailed reply because it helps me a lot when troubleshooting. It sounds like you're having general connectivity issues - please try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
- Reboot your device
- Sign in and out of Google Talk repeatedly to restore connection to our servers:
1. Go to your device’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
2. If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
3. Launch Talk again to sign in (if you are unable to sign in, please let me know)
- Clear your Market cache (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Market > Clear cache)
- Ensure firewalls are not blocking access to ports required for Android Market (TCP and UDP 5228)
- Confirm that there is strong connectivity on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected
- Uninstall Market updates by visiting:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, selecting "Market" under the "All" tab or filter and touching "Uninstall updates"
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please let me know, and I will be happy to continue investigating the problem.
Regards,
Cory
The Android Market Team
That sounds like a good response to me......keep in touch with them!!!

After clearing the stored wifi password, then rebooting before reconnecting to my home Wifi, the android market(and youtube app) are working again. I had cleared out the Dalvik twice last night with the V6 Script. This was all about establishing a connection to Google's servers. Hope it doesn't happen again...can be a real pain. Thanks for the responses

Was it necessary to install gapps (Google Apps) for the ROM you flashed?
If it was, were you able to flash gapps successfully with CWM recovery?
Maybe you could try re-flashing gapps, making sure it's for ICS/CM9.
I hope this helps.

[Q] Apps on market say my device is not compatible

Hey wuts up all first on new here so I wanted to say hi and thanks for making such an awesome site possible! Anyways I'm having problems getting apps on the market like Google maps. It tells me my device is not compatible. I haven't done anything new from my knowledge. I'm running the cm7.2 nightly from xjackofall. It only happened with some apps. Can anyone help.
Try flashing the gapps.apk that can be found Here!
That should sort it out for you. Make sure you uninstall all the current google apps you have downloaded, such as google voice, maps, g+, gtalk and so on.
Good luck!
EDIT: Ok this link should work
thanks ill try that once i unbrick my my phone. i flashed a pc36img that i though would downgrade my hboot so i could get s off instead it locked bootloader and bricked it. ive unlocked boot loader again but it still wont let me into the recovery. any suggestions?
never mind i fixed it thanks for the help with the apps ima try that now.
I flashed the latest gapps but it didn't change anything. Any other ideas?
Could be an issue with build.prop maybe?
Well did you wipe everything before you flashed? I think the way you are wiping is not correct. Before you flash gapps u must full wipe, wipe dalvick cache and wipe cache. Then flash gapps. Also helps to be flashing on a fresh rom that doesn't have gapps included.

So I wiped everything and started with a new rom. Everything worked great for a day for two then I went to download something from the market that same damn error popped up again. From what I understand the market can tell what type of device you are using is it possible that the data it is trying to access is corrupt in some way? If so what could be causing it to become corrupted. Granted I could be wrong about how market works I'm still learning.
Try going into apps and clearing data and cache.
Its working fine now and I did nothing. Idk my phones been acting crazy lately. It turns thing off and on by itself wifi 4g and mobile connectivity work intermittently. Lately when I turn my phone on the mobile network is off. right now the onlything working network wise is 3g so I have no idea what's going on.
I'm having the same problem.............Can't download Maps from the market.
I just flashed the new CM7.2
Can u give a specific list of GAPPS that needed to be uninstalled? Some of mine don't have the option to uninstall

First try wiping cache, dalvic cache and clear the market data restart and see if that fixes it. If that didn't work then you will probably have to do what ihugyou said and do a full wipe and reinstall gapps.
Have u changed your screen resolution? If so you can get this error.

After using it a while there is an error and i've to uninstall and installe the programm again.

[Q] Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 wifi problem

I am new with rooting and modifying my phone.
I first root the phone, then install AOKP Task650 (Android 4.2.2) Kernel 3.4.49-Underwear and Version is "d2att (4.2.2 JDQ39) Build 6.24.2013
after that i install rom manager, google apps, and everything is working perfectly EXCEPT wifi.
it is very weird cause wifi Turn On/Off button is nor clicklable; it is there, but when i turn on it is transparent grey and after couple seconds, it become solid grey.
I searched and find that if i replace /system/bin "wpa_supplicant" with one on other sites, it might work, and it is not working?
I looked everywhere, either i am stupid and dont know how to find or there is a specific things to look; if you guys can help me it will be great.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Did you do a clean flash? That being: Factory reset, clear cache/dalvik and wipe system before flashing Task's AOKP + Gapps?
I'd suggest backing up your stuff, doing the above and my guess is that all will be well afterwards.
