Google navigation is speaking code to me - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am on a totally stock non-rooted EL29 sprint rom. This was also happening on EK02 which I used auto root on. When using google navigation for turn by turn directions instead of saying the street names and turn right here it is giving me html code. Has anyone ever had this issue before or any suggestions on how to fix it?

anyone have any suggestions?

i have had that issue before.... sorry i dont remember what fixed it, i think it was an update

How bizarre! I've never heard of such a thing. I'd love to hear a recording of this.

Is your text to speech set to Samsung? Once upon a time mine did this. I changed it to pico & it hasn't happened since. Try that. Good luck.

I would try clearing cache and data in maps. Go to settings -> applications

CM7 issues. (Dolphin browser, 4G, in-call sound)

So I believe I've had this issue everytime I fashed any kind of CM7 to my phone. The backup of my dolphin browser never actually restores correctly. All my other apps restore their data perfecty and work fine. But dolphin browser always just restores the app but I can never get my data back on it, so I lose all my bookmarks and saved emails and stuff which is annoying and sometimes I forget some of my passwords lol. But has anyone else had this problem? Even when I backup my bookmarks from the app itself and restore them it never gets me them back.
And the problem I'm having with 4G is it never connects or shows up. I know I need to have 3G on first, and I do, but when I turn 4G on it says "turning on" then "unknown" and it never even shows in my status bar as scanning or anything.
Also, the in-call speaker sound stays on the loudest even when lowerng it to the end. Its like that with regular talking on the phone and head phones, and no, its not from voodoo control. But is there anyway to fix this?

Tb. I always use it and it works perfectly on every other ROM I flash. Its just cm7 I'm having problems with. And no the backup isn't corrupted or anything. I'm thinking maybe it could be because dolphin runs differently on cm7?? Or has some kind of different data?

I can't imagine that the data would be stored in a different location. But you even said dolphin's own back and restore doesn't work on cm7? I would say that is a dolphin issue not a cm7 issue contact their support.

Ya that's what I'm thinking. Maybe it runs in a different way or something.
But anyway, that's not the biggest problem I'm having. I don't mind that as much as any of the other two issues.
4G, for some reason, just isn't working for me. Can anyone confirm that it actually works so I can see where the problem is from?
Also, the in-call speaker sound stays on the loudest even when lowerng it to the end. Its like that with regular talking on the phone and head phones, and no, its not from voodoo control. But is there anyway to fix this?

Not sure about the in call volume I can't test 4g seeing I don't have 4g where I live. Which version of CM7 you on? 7.2 RC2 is the latest version.

4g is working for me on cm7... or it was 2 days ago... not on cm7 right now so can't test... maybe they are working on towers in your area... they are starting deployment of lte and it has been giving their network some problems from what I've read... I know there was a big outage last week in texas because of this... maybe its that...

Maybe, or maybe not. Ill restore my backup of thunderhawk and test 4G to see if its from the ROM or the network. And I seen another tread talking about the in call sound to always being too loud so I guess that's a ROM based bug but not a big problem.

[Q] Screen turns on randomly

Hello everyone... I come to you with a rather annoying problem. I am running Calkulin's latest GB rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837 and it happens at the lock screen. My phone's screen will be off and then every so often it'll randomly turn on. It doesn't do it constantly, but enough to be obnoxious. Does anyone else have this issue? I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen (paid for), but it does it with the standard lockscreen as well.
Thanks in advance!
Try uninstalling widget locker and see if the problem is still present? It could also be a setting in widget locker!

I uninstalled WidgetLocker and rebooted my phone and it hasn't done it just yet, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks. Too bad though, I like that program D:
Edit: It's doing it again without WidgetLocker :\
Try wiping cache & davlik. If that doesn't work, then try fix permissions in recovery too.
Edit: Could be an app waking the phone too. Have you tried turning off sync or freezing apps yet?

Not yet, I'll give that a shot if the wiping cache, davlik, and fixing permissions doesn't work. Here's hoping! I have titanium backup pro so I can freeze apps... I know a few things sync like google calendar.
EDIT: Still does it ;-;
Which apps should I freeze?
It might be overkill, but you could just back up texts, calls, and apps, then reflash your rom or try another. Just do a fresh install, don't restore data with your apps. It might be the quickest means to an end. Also, if it does it on multiple roms, it's possibly an issue with the power button. Give her a squirt of canned air before you go running off to the sprint store. Good luck!

Most of the rom developers will implement ad blocking in their rom build. I know for a fact that Calkulins' use it. So you don't need to install anything else.
Sometimes they list that info on their OP.

It has a setting where it will turn the screen on everytime you get a text like the iphone does. It doesnt sound like that is your issue though considering the way you say it happens randomly and you didnt mention anything about it happening when you get texts.

I've noticed that my S. Voice no longer speaks back to me. Anybody know how I can fix this? The little button in the bottom left on the S Voice screen is enabled, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Besides the fact that S-Voice and the S3 weren't even mentioned in the lawsuit and they haven't pushed any updates I'm going out on a limb and saying no.
This diffently isn't a setting issue and is widespread. I just did a hard reset on my phone to factory, and still no S Voice lady. I went to the Sprint store and use 2 of their phones, and samething. This issue is really weird!

Same here, no voice. I was on another forum and people were saying there was no voice for english but there was voice for spanish, so I tried it out and sure enough the voice spoke back when I used spanish. Very weird.
I cleared the data and got it back...
settings> application manager> (select all tab) scroll to s voice and select it and clear data. I then went into app and it kept giving me network errors. I restarted phone and got it back.
My problem is that I only had 2.5 mb built up. This will get annoying if it happens every time I hit 2.5 mb.
Anyways, give it a try. Hope it helps...
Nice heads up. Thanks op. Weird but true issue. Vlingo may be updating something on the servers. No idea. New voice perhaps ;D

clearing data worked for me, thanks man.. hope I don't have to do that often. Not that I'll prolly use the s voice often, but it's fun to show off.. Thanks again Bdozier!

Google navigation voice gets stuck

Just as title says the navigation voice gets stuck. It usually gets stuck if I end navigation early. The next time I use navigation it will get stuck saying in 1000 feet or turn right etc. Only fix I found was clearing app data but it always comes back. Any help?
Using aokp and ktoonsez's kernal too. Also did full wipe decently and it didn't fix it.

Mine does this as well, on tw and aosp roms. Only temp fix I've found is clearing data. This has been driving me nuts, at least it's not just me. Let me know if you figure anything else out.

Since I've seen this post I've used navigation everywhere I've gone...
Noticed my nav would show me the right direction for places but the voice would tell me how to get to my previous destination...
It would say turn left etc on streets in the city I was in earlier.

I"m guessing that uninstall/reinstall only really accomplishes the same thing as clearing data. Because when you uninstall, it will of course clear the data.
I too am having this problem, consistentlyh, and on different ROMS. Very frustrating.
It tells me to turn right from the street I live on, over and over again.
same problem here
I too am having this problem.. i just restart the phone, but thats the same as clearing app data.. though less screens to go through
is there any fix in sight for this? its really aggravating.
By the way, another problem I am having with the Nav app is that when I click on Voice Entry for a destination, it flashes over to enter voice, then right back to the initial destination screen. Am unable to use voice entry.
I have had this problem on Stock ROM, as well as current Ariel Rom.
Maybe I should open a thread on this topic to see if anyone else has the issue.

Messaging Issue

So when I'm sending a text, sometimes the cursor will keep moving to the front of a text and not continuing and I have no way to fix this. Other times, it starts erasing everything I wrote. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, any non root related solution?

Yeah i don't know why. I've checked it all, tried two different messaging and keyboard apps and did a factory reset. No luck. It's really hindering

I have this problem too at times. Not enough to piss me off. I have heard people having success with GO SMS Pro. Might bork your MMS though.
Happens to me as well, i start typing then all of a sudden im at the beginning of the text still typing. I thought it was maybe a bug with Swiftkey or maybe i was accidently touching the screen but it guess not.
Tried it on another 3 og's
Same issue
Yea I have the same issue and I thought it was the stock LG keyboard. So I downloaded the android 4.2 keyboard and I'm still having the same issue. I'll deal with it for now because the 4.2 keyboard is legit and it only happens once in a while.

It is NOT your hardware. This is a software bug in the messaging app. I discussed it HERE already. It's not the keyboard. I've tested multiple keyboard and multiple messaging apps. The problem resolves with a different messaging app. I've used GO SMS and now I'm using chompSMS.
This bug annoys the hell out of me and is the only reason I'm checking the forums every single night for an AOSP ROM to flash. I'm sure this will be resolved with an update to JB, but who knows when that's coming.
Try GO SMS, chompSMS, Handcent or any of the other Messaging apps in the market and this won't happen to you. Do not freeze your stock messaging app or MMS won't work.
This is a known issue at work. Our LG rep said we should have a fix out very soon. It is not a hardware issue and replacing it will do nothing.
