Google navigation voice gets stuck - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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.

I use my nav like 2 times a week.. Usually only for 20-30min trips. Haven't experienced that myself.
I'm stock rom rooted with kt kernel

After doing more Google research it looks like it is happening on multiple phones on multiple Rome. Might be an issue with the app

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.

Google navigation is speaking code to me

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.
Text-To-Speech
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

S Voice not speaking

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.

Same issue here. Did you post this when you first noticed? I ask because that is about when I noticed the issue. Could it be a network issue?
I just noticed it today.

S Voice.... No Voice!!!
Im having the very same problem. Tried to have a meaningful conversaion with my pocket friend and she didnt speak back to me. Checked everything was enabled plus checked for system update but still nothing. Maybe it is to do with the lawsuit or maybe theres an update coming for it.... Annoying, but glad im not the only one.

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!
Mine also stopped working. The English and yeah UK English wouldn't make a sound but the others were fine. Magically it's working today

Clear app data worked.
However, us-English lady's voice is different now.

Google Navigation voice repeating same street names?

So, eventhough the Google Navigation is navigating, when it's time to make a direction change or turn, she keeps announcing the same street and directions. No matter where I'm at or what I'm doing, she keeps announcing the exact same street and turn. Really weird.
Any ideas?
Clear your app cache for Google navigation and maps and that should fix the repeating voice problem

Trikage is absolutely right. Had this problem myself after a nandroid restore. Clearing cache/data resolved it completely.
Same thing happened to me. Cleared map cache and hasn't come back yet but others are reporting after some time it will return...
... I just hope it doesn't happen with my sister (iphone) in the car or I'll never hear the end of it!

Welp, it came back. I just upgraded to Wicked v.6 ROM, so we'll see what happens now.
Anyone know what the cause of this is?
Yup happened to me a fee more times.. Thinking of putting a script on startup to erase all app data for Google maps on every startup
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Have you guys tried a different version of Maps?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I've been having it happen over and over. I really don't watn to delete my data, but must because of this.
Also, other issues:
When click the icon to enter destination by voice, it opens for voice input for about two seconds, then closes. This has happened on different ROMS, and different Kernels.
Sometimes when I open Nav, the app itself closes
Frustrating.

Can't bring up open apps from home button

Have a weird bug that comes and goes and can't figure out why or how to fix it. Long pressing home should bring up all open apps and let you get to task manager. Most the times it works, but every once in awhile it will completely stop working. A reset fixes it or if i just wait awhile it will come back.
Anyone else get this or know of a fix? Home button still works, just not the long press

It's always worked for me.
Always works for me, too. Was just using it last night before bedtime.
In my 2 weeks of my note2 this just happened to me last night. I have no idea why and it scared the hell out of me. I just rebooted and it hasn't reappeared. Don't really know what to tell ya =(
Im running jedi 3.1 rom w perseus kernel

Have you done a restart? If that doesn't fix it so a factory reset.

Restarting my phone fixes it, but its just annoying to do it to fix it. It shouldn't do it in the first place. Also it will come back and start working on its own too. Most of 90% of the time it works though

*bump* its been awhile, curious if anyone else has been getting this or has a fix other than restarting. I have to restart my phone every other day because sometimes apps like xda won't open and I can't close them in the background.

[*gps fix] alternate gps fix]

**MUST BE ON STOCK TOUCHWIZ TO ACCESS DIALER MENU**
Thought I post this method on a different way to get GPS back from flashing from different ROMs. When I lost it, a fresh Odin install did not fix GPS. Basically nothing worked; clear maps data, Google. Servicesframework, tightening all my screws, gps fix it apps, etc.. Tried them all.
Then I came across a post that was in a att s3 thread started by "egyptshun"
So shout outs to him.
[QUOTE/]if you dont see your gps icon on status bar. there is problem on your gps chip.
becouse that was happend to me my I747. im more confused about it.
i try more things like rom change,, firmware upgrade,, orginal samsung updates,, etc,, no more fix
after i go to the samsung service mode *#197328640#
then go to mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD>finish and dont exit menu
wait 30 sec
long press power button and select restart..
thats all
now check your GPS from gps software...
if this is fix your problem dont forget to thanks....[/QUOTE]
so yeah there it is. This method worked lovely for me. I was about to do a warranty exchange till I seen this.. Saved me the hassle
Hope this helps someone. And remember PLZ THANKS

Thanks for the info
This worked great, my gps issues started when I flashed to a 4.2.2 rom and went back to stock 4.1.1. After searching endlessly this is the easiest fix there is out there.
Fast and easy
WOW. This worked so fast and easy! GPS Signal locked on instantly after the reboot and turning on GPS. I lost my GPS going from Cyanogenmod 10.1 to Darthstalker S3 edition Version XI.
Yeah I was so relieved when I did this.. It was such a head ache. Been seeing a lot of people going thru the same thing.
So maybe this could get stickied or something

I am on LiquidSmooth RC2, when I entered *#197328640# on phone dial pad, nothing happen.
Only works on TouchWiz.
This worked amazingly well! This does need to be stickied like someone mentioned earlier.

Restore a touch wiz nandroid, if u have one. Then use the dialer code. It'll be faster that way, you won't have to Odin, and use a pc

Nice find, will try this later after I back up.
Might want to state in the OP that the Samsung code only works on the Touchwiz dialer just to make it clear. :thumbup:

Just finished restoring and it worked out amazingly! I flashed Wicked and typed in the code, rebooted, turned on GPS and tested on both Google Maps and Navigation, Restored back up, tested again on both apps and it was spot on. Thanks again

WOW! My GPX had broke for the second time and I was about to cry thinking about Odin lmao.
worked perfectly! GREAT FIND!
Since this fix seems to be pretty solid (and becoming a prevalent issue), I've included it in my signature.
This thread makes me a lot less wary about flashing something like Liquidsmooth, when Wicked remains my daily. I'd need to switch back and forth. Good to see there seems to be a practical way of dealing with possible GPS loss, without jumping through hoops to get it back.
