Yep same here, thought I was going mad.tried another app and no fix issues, so must be google. Was considering a reinstall off the app but haven't got round too it yet.

What Rom are you using? Google navigation doesn't work on AOSP roms. It's something to do with how information is sent from the GPS to the software. HTC fixed this somehow with sense. But as yet Cyanogen and derivatives haven't. It's what's keeping me using sense based roms for now. :s

The only info ive been able to find has come from this page HERE
Its not just MIUI thats affected, its all AOSP roms. As i said earlier HTC have fixed it with sense, but they arent sharing
Try a sense rom and you'll see what i mean
I cant for the life of me work out which files i need to pull from sense for the fix.
There's a fix mentioned over in the Inspire forums HERE but i couldnt get it to work. It has something to do with "gps.spade.so" at least thats the file thats been mentioned mostly.

Too bad, love my miui rom.. Thanks a lot for respond

I'm on black ice, never seen this before and used to use CM 7.1 and MIUI on my old desire without flaw. perhaps installing an older version of google maps maybe a work around?

I'll try to find older version of google maps.. Thanks..

Found the answer on the CM forums (sorry can't find the link) the problem seems to be related to the AGPS data on the phone. Download GPS test from the market and in settings clear AGPS. Start google nav and everything should be ok...
This worked for me, hopefully the same will apply for you

Speed up Market Place and Paid Apps Tab

Speed fix for Froyo Roms on MARKET
After playing with alot of Roms one thing i noticed is the incredible slow speed of market loads and searching. LeeDROID rom has excellent market speeds. The attached file is a grab of Market files from the LeeDROID rom and then packaged up to flash.
This has been tried on multiple roms and gives EXCELLENT SPEED WITH LOADING, SEARCHING and even DOWNLOADING. It is also know to give you back that illusive PAID TAB in some instances (has worked for me every time)
Give it a go and let us know what you think. Countrys with no paid apps may not add the paid tab.
Also once rebooted it may take half hour to sync up with Google before you notice the speed. But once its going it is alot faster
ENJOY!!
Install - Flash zip from Recovery or ROM Manager
of course always nandroid first before flashing anything.
I take no responsability for bricks
Big thanks to LeeDroid (and congrats on the new baby) and also dancedreamfly for helping with packaging

any feedback if people are noticing the speed difference here
Does it actually remove the Market or can it work alongside (for comaprison purposes it would be useful to download the same app within each)

it replaces it, could nandroid and compare your two different roms, but if you was suffering from slow market you will notice the speed anyway
Anyone tried this?

It's actually a lot faster I'm using defrost 2.5a, and just updated the market to this, and its really good, even when I'm updating apps its quicker

i couldnt tell you, i have only ever tried on Sense Roms, Previous users have told me it worked on non sense roms such as Defrost so I should imagine it would work fine as it doesnt edit any of the framework of the rom.
Ill try it tonight and see but if you wanna have a go nandroid it first and let me know the results
what's the MACOSX folder?
No paid apps on djdroid.UK network..but its super fast and is now giving me the option to auto update my apps

YouTube broken after installing new ROM

Since I've installed Froyo based Modaco ROM on my Desire, YouTube doesn't work any more. I just get sound and no picture, and no way to stop the sound playing. Any ideas of how to fix it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Seems like a good question for the modaco forums, doesn't it?

Yes, but I'm using Tapatalk and it doesn't work on their forums. Wondered if anyone here might know why its broken.
Using R6? I have no issues with YouTube.

R21 according to the About menu. (?)
In case you're interested, I fixed it by clearing the YouTube app cache and data.

[Q] Robos RCMIX S 1.7.2 no more compass working

Hi all ,
can anyone confirm this issue?
Is it a gingerbread release?
Compass does not work in leaked gingerbread unless you have the latest kernel made by snq (v5).
At least that's what I was told.
If you are planning to replace your kernel, first do a Nandroid backup!
Grtz!

You can try to reinstall kernel

Yesterday I read something about removing a file and then having to recalibrate the compass in order for it to work.
Can't find it right now, you should try and do a search on this forum maybe...

Its a matter of trimming the rom after they finish developing it. There are important issues now that need work and their going to focus on them first

Is the sound working on your Inspire 4g? I have an inspire 4g as well and am a little worried about flashing the rom and the sound not working
After doing a TB restore and rebooting I unlock the screen and the 'loading' window appears, just gets stuck there and never loads the icons/clock etc.
Coming from sense 3.5, is there something I am restoring that is causing this issue? I just did a batch backup of everything and then the same for restore, usually works but I assume there are some items I shouldn't be restoring and ICS/Sense 4.0 doesn't like them.
Any help on what I should leave out while also getting most of what I need back is appreciated.

It seems you restored some apps which are not compatible with ICS, or at least this beta ROM.
I encountered this issue too and my solution is using market. Just log in with your google account and open market. In "My apps">"ALL" your will find your apps once installed in sense 3.5, however incompatible apps are not in the list.
Just avoid restoring these apps.
I wouldn't have thought a normal app that was incompatible such as Skype or something would be causing the home screen to fail to load. I would think it was one of the system apps I had backed up that was the problem?
I'm quite new to all this and since I rooted I have only gone from a Sense 3.5 ROM to another Sense 3.5 one which will be why I've had no issues in the past.
Despite OP being a "O U SHUD JUS READ N NOT RITE" twat, I'll ask here anyway.
How do I get the extra dropbox space? I searched "dropbox" in the original thread and couldn't find an answer.
The dropbox issue has work for some and some not. I READ that unlĂ­nking and linking back with the primo rom works. Try it and reply!
Also from coming from. Sense 3.5 i recomend that you backup the apps only. I did a data backup and it worked but the best is to restore the apps alone

I am having an issue with the market on my Inspire with some purchased apps. For example the MLB At Bat 12 app which I purchased and downloaded in LC's Ice Cold Sandwhich does not show up on the list for any Sense 3.6 or 4.0 roms. Since it is a copy protected app I have had no success restoring it in titanium backup. On 3.6 my about phone says I have a Sensation XL. I don't recall if the primo roms(I have tried them all) say I am a DHD or a One V...Any suggestions on how to get the market to know I have an At&t Inspire?
Thank You.

S Voice

anyone tried S Voice with the Desire yet?
it installs on ICS so I think it might work
original: http://minus.com/llX3TROSRO4NH
fixed to work on unauthorized devices: http://minus.com/lCWshD37drA9R
Tested it now. Might be best skipping the intro and it fc when trying to change the wake command. Also double tap home didn't work for me either.
Clear data if you have fc on start up. But it does work. Can google search and text etc.

i've used the new one for checking the weather for location, sending text and calling - all seems to work well.
I install S-Voice from the apk from frandroid.com
And it works, open apk, understand french language...
I hope this apk will mature quickly
on HTC desire the installaton crash but, after a reboot, it works
nice one!
I do not have a crash during installation.
I'm on ics 4.0.4 bravo cyanogen mod 9 RC 3.4.U1.
And it works.
Does someone test http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673354 on HTC Desire ?
Tried the first APK, but it wasn't for me.
Also it's weird to say 'Hi Galaxy' to desire.
I suggest to wait for a year or so, so that developers can stabilize the system

The fix S voice apk and Spanish language works well for me.
