GMaps TMO US TP2 problem with a stock rom... please help

I just got my TP2. really excited by all the bloatware in it.
I am However experiencing a major problem and do not understand how to fix it.
I opened up google maps, and was expecting to see it triangulate cellphone towers to somewhere close to where I live... instead I see the Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan.
Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

bump...
anyone have the answer... I know I am not the only one having this problem..

I downloaded the latest version of google maps and downloaded the quick gps data, go outside and try it again, worked for me. GPS won't lock if you are inside a building.

Google Navigation Locking Up

I am running Legendary Rom RC2 and Samurai kernel.
The problem i am having is with google maps/navigation. It has been randomly locking up lately. Seems to do it randomly. Sometimes it will navigate fine for 20 or 30 minutes and then i look at it and its locked up (screen still shows map but none of the buttons works- i have to pull battery to restart). Sometimes it does this a minute or two into navigation.
I've waited to post this hoping i could figure out what was happening. I've tred waiting to see if its just a temporary lockup but its not. I am also running juicedefender so i turned that off but it still locks up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled maps and it still happens. I havent been able to notice a pattern of it occurring when there is a signal loss or certain areas or anything like that.
Anyone else having a similar issue or have any suggestions of things to try to fix it? Thanks!

What version of Samurai? There were issues with 2.08. Try uninstalling Maps and redownload from the Market.

Still no luck getting this to work. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times. Also tried a new kernel (Nubernal now instead of Samurai). Any other suggestions?

How about clearing AGPS data with GPS Test or GPS status and download new AGPS data?

You can always ODIN back to stock if all else fails. I hate google navigation. Google has been sucking it up lately with their new maps release. I get lag GALORE, and have also had some FC's with navigation.

I agree. That is why I use Telenav 7.1. Clear voice and hasn't locked up at all on EI22.

I've noticed this same thing now and again, and I'm chalking it up to the Google Maps updates. I don't think it's anything to do with GB or any of the ROMs, because I'm pretty sure it didn't happen before Google Maps updated their version with the inside maps, which I think was 6.0, but I might be off on the version.
I have a hard time going with TeleNav becaues Google has so many nice features like sharing via email/text the exact location, but I seem to be having a harder time with it locking up (like the OP said, maps still shows) and missing a turn!
How can I get the latest version of TeleNav?

Google just needs to re-release their first version of MAPS. I have virtually zero lag when I first bought my phone, the maps that came installed worked perfect. now its barely useable.
I have tried using Telenav but its just not my thing. I never use GPS navigation anyways. I only use google places. Maybe two times out of the year I will actually use GPS nav.

In the Market, scroll down to Sprint Apps and it is in those. I was shocked today and Telenav actually changed routes due to traffic...first time ever!

I found it in the market (for some reason, I thought if I went that way I would have to pay for it) which was redirected from the telenav website. For what it's worth, I did end up with 7.1.0.7101357 according to titanium backup.

not a fan of telenav but since it sounds like its not a problem with just my phone i might have to get use to it. hopefully google fixes this soon.

so its not a problem with google maps/navigation, at least in my case. telenav does the exact same thing. i tried it out a few times today and it was also very laggy and then eventually it completely locked up. i used gps status to reset the gps but that didnt help. any other suggestions?

Have you flashed the GPS fix or a ROM with it included so you start out with like 8 out of 9 satellites?

Locations & Navigation not working

Anyone else still having problems with locations?
Facebook doesn't work properly (can't check in, no places found), weather doesn't (says 'Isle of Man') and neither does the navigation (says 'Navigation to your destination is not avaliable')
GPS works and syncs fine (now I did the spring trick), the stand alone locations app (latitude, locations & maps) work perfectly fine.
I've re-flashed, reinstalled, cleared cache, data. Even started from scratch and it's all the same.
Search brings up little or no results in with this problem and more importently no solutions for me specifically.
I've also found some pages on google that say the navigation (car panel premium) was merged into the google navigation. This is around the same time all mine packed up.
I'm using the most recent arhd with recommended radio. The phone is just not what it was this time last year, all social networking and locations/nav worked fine.
I'm sure there are more people with the same problem?

I think it's my network/location but a samsung phone with android works fine with nav and check in with same apn settings.
I used a program that let me force change my location and check in and navigation worked instantly.
Still doesn't explain why I can use latittude and the maps perfectly but then when I click navigate it says not avaliable.
Is there a way I can check what's going on or whats blocking this?

Hi,
I get exactly the same problem in the Isle of Man (although running a Galaxy Samsung Nexus).
I also have a friend with another android phone who also can't get navigation here either.
I think it only stopped working for us in December.

Hi Michael
Another Isle of Man user here. Haven't been able to use Navigation recently. I a can go to Maps and get directions to a destination. As soon as I switch to Navigation I get a message saying:
No routes found - Navigation to your destination is not possible.
Hadn't thought too much of it. I tend to mess around with various distros (currently running GalnetMUI 2.2.1) and it's not uncommon for something to be broken from one build to the next.
Nice (in a way) to know it's just me. The question remains .. who can fix it?

It's not ROM related.
I've flashed various back-ups including stock and friends phones are the same using stock and custom.
Could it be Google?

Hey guys another iom user. But I'm on sure just noticed this problem today. Anybody found a solution?

Nope, no solutions! Still looking
Something has been blocked.
I'll update if i find any work around.
I went on holiday and everything worked fine in England and Spain. It's just here.

[Q] Google Play Store Problem

I'm experiencing a weird problem concerning app compatibility on the Google Play Store.
I am finding my phone is no longer compatible with apps that were compatible with it about a month ago. For example, Dead Trigger was once compatible on my phone but when I try to download it again from Google Play, it says my device is not compatible. Dead Trigger isn't the only app that this is happening with. It's happening with a few others. Anyone have this problem? Does this mean I should update to a newer ROM version? I've already tried clear cache/clear data in the app but it doesn't fix the problem.
My phone:
VZW Galaxy Nexus
Android Ver. 4.0.4

[Q] Issues with Google Play Services since latest Update (4.0.33)

When Google Play Services (GPS) version 4.0.33 was posted here, I downloaded and applied it without issue. Even though I wasn't having any trouble with it, I decided to incorporate all of my system app updates with Titanium Backup to open up a little space on my phone. I had a handful of apps ready for incorporation, so I just hit run and set my phone down for a few minutes to let it finish. I've never had any trouble with this operation before, but this time it hung when it reached GPS until I force quit TB. When I went to restart the operation, GPS was no longer listed as an app ready for incorporation, so I figured it had worked and everything was fine. TB hung up two more times after that on different apps, so I continued the operation 1 app at a time until I was finished. Geting to the point, I noticed I no longer had GPS on my phone later when I went to open an app that required and it told me I didn't have it. So I went to the Play Store and downloaded version 4.0.31 and installed it as a normal app. Then I used TB to convert it to a System App because that was the way it was before. But then it started force closing and none of my apps that require it would work. So I removed it and restored the original that I had backed up with TB, and everything was fine again. I decided not to mess with the 4.0.33 update anymore. Then a few days ago 4.0.33 was officially available on the Play Store as an update, so I updated that way. Ever since, every time I restart my phone it force closes 3 or 4 times, but then seems to work fine until the next reboot/start up. Also, I've noticed that every time GPS starts having issues, the Google Settings app icon turns grey*, but it seems like it still works fine regardless of the color of the icon.
Anyway, I was just wondering if I was the only one having these issues, or if someone has managed to fix it if you've experienced this? Thanks in advance!
* It was always green before this fiasco, now it's only green if I "Uninstall Updates" to GPS via App Manager since GPS no longer shows up on the Play Store for me until I have uninstalled the 4.0.33 update, and then it shows it's ready for an update...

I ran into the same problem after I tried to integrate GPS 4.0.33 into the stock rooted ROM of my Nexus 7 (4.4 KitKat). I had to reinstall 4.0.31 in order to get it back to work. After the first reboot GPS was automatically updated to 4.0.33, but I won't try integrating it with Titanium again for fear of running into the same issue. I used to integrate all of the Google apps that came with the stock ROMs as soon as I received an update. But with 4.3 JB I started running into problems when I tried to integrate Chrome, Earth and Google +. I recently got updates for all of these, but I did not tried to integrate them into 4.4. My Google settings icon is grey, but I don't know if that is causing any side effects. I was never able to manually update GPS via the Play Store. It has always been pushed to my Nexus 7 and SGS3. It would be nice to know what specifically makes these apps incompatible for integration with Titanium or with other program for that matter. For what I can see, there is enough storage space left to integrate them. In previous ROMs I have also used Apps2ROM to integrate apps that were not included in the stock ROMs. Btw, what version of Android are you running?
