What app does everyone use or like for beating traffic on their commute? Google Maps shows me where slow downs are, but won't show me what the problem is. I remember it use to show you accidents on the map, but for some reason they got rid of it.
Waze is pretty good. Shows exactly what the problem is. Routes around issues and users can easily update issues they come across. It is really social GPS..

A few days ago my Facebook app was loading pages super slowly, taking a minute or more to even load them. This isn't unusual, as the Facebook app sucks. I normally just switch to the mobile site and carry on. The thing is, the mobile site is loading super slowly too, and not just that, if I use Opera and force load the full site, even THAT is super slow. This is the only website that I'm having any problems with at all and it's happening regardless of my current connectivity state (wifi, 3g and 4G - its not discriminating.) I've searched the web and not seeing anyone else have this issue and it's continued on a trip I just took from KY to Chicago so I am absolutely stumped. Everything else, including all other websites are working perfectly. Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong?
I have the same issues. I can't even post a status from the app. More than likely it has to do with the roll out of the timeline profile. Its slowing don't their servers

Still having the same issue. Not happening to my girlfriend on the mobile or my work partner on sprint. Any suggestions?
Was having thisenissues until last night. Everything is now working at a normal speed although notifications are still not working for me (since 182 update)
force stop the app then restart the app this normally works
It's just the app. I'm on my home Wi-Fi and it hasn't gotten any faster. Never expect good things from Facebook. Period.

For the life of me I cannot get this card to work. I have location history enabled in Google Maps and have entered my home and work adresses under location history's settings - traveled to and from work a few days, and nothing. Is there some other step I'm missing or is the traffic card glitched or something?
Thanks for the help.
You may go into the setting for that card and change the priority. Make it "none" and save. Then go back in and give it priority. Mine worked out of the box so I'm afraid I can't be much more help than that.

this may sound like a stupid suggestion but, is your GPS enabled?

Yes it is, along with WiFi.
well I'm useless here. My device started showing me the travel card by itself. I didn't enter any address information however. It guessed my work and home address of its own accord. I'd try wiping the history and setting the priority to high for the card.
I am only curious how it guessed which place is my home...and it guessed correctly...for the work address it asked me to confirm its guess, but for home address no questioning...awesome...
Listen to me, you don't want this card enabled if you're anywhere but at home with your boring life. I've been travelling, and the traffic/directions card comes up all the time for places I haven't cared about but once a few days ago.
Well.. it's not officially a released feature. I can't complain too much, considering... well I've looked at all sorts of settings which would seem logical, but I keep getting directions to Walmart or the random bakery I went to the other day.
Google Now is really smart.. but it really tries too hard when you're not home.

Tried that too, so far still nothing. It showed up briefly due to a doctors appointment I had scheduled and it showed me the travel time, but then I refreshed Google Now and it disappeared once again.

Have you tried getting traffic info in Google maps?
My traffic also doesn't work but for me its because my location does not support it yet (Uganda)

FWIW it still works for me without being signed into Latitude.
Have you tried disabling Google Now and then re-enabling it? Always fixes any issue I have.

Yep, still nothing, I've just accepted that it doesn't work.

Don't need to be signed into latitude as long as you have the addresses set. I have zero issues.
I looked under my location history information and settings which I entered about four days ago now...it says I've only been home for 4 hours and at work 0 hours which those two numbers are completely inaccurate.
Took me a day or two for it to learn my places.

I was having this issue myself, I got no traffic card even though I knew everything was set up. It was my favourite feature of Google now (especially for appointment reminders) and I was so disappointed! It seems in my googling plenty of people were having the issue and no answers anywhere.
I managed to get mine working, so I'm posting my solution in case someone else has the same problem and does the same googling. My problem was that somehow Google now was set to use public transport by default, however, there is no public transport info in my city. So no card at all. Unfortunately, Google now wouldn't let me change my settings as the traffic card has to be popped up in order to change the preferred transport method.
So I just uninstalled updates, then started Google now, went to settings, traffic, and switched my preferred transport method to driving. Traffic card appeared! I could then update back to the latest Google now and had my traffic cards back.
Good luck!

First I usually just leave my GPS on all the time, I'm to distracted to remember to turn it off when Not using it. (Saying this in hopes its not the only answer to my issue)
I keep getting the (TOAST?) message Pop ups at the bottom of the screen saying "Failed to Update Location - No Signal"
Is there a way to prevent this message from appearing? Its usually when its oblivious I would not have signal due to being indoors.
I am an avid geocacher and use the GPS feature very frequently. On that Note I am very impressed with the accuracy of the GPS in these phones when outdoors.
When I am indoors I know there will be little if any signal to matter, and I do not need my phone to tell me so! I also do not need the pop ups if I am outside either as the apps i use will tell me signal strength of the Satellites.
Thanks!
also getting the messages with the GPS turned Off!!
These are getting annoying!!
Can anyone help me figure this out!
These messages are really driving me up the wall!!
Seems to me it's an app that's trying to access the gps. What apps do you have installed that might be accessing the gps? Are there settings in those individual apps that would cause this?

I have quite a few apps that would use the GPS for various features. Seems like more and more want to know where you are in the guise of trying to taylor the results to you better.
I am trying to isolate which ones. but with the apps not even in use and the GPS radio off I am still getting them...
I guess i'll try uninstalling each app one by one.
I hope this is not pre-mature....
But I do Believe I got it fixed. YEA!!!!
Not sure which app it was that was the problem, but I dumped several apps I really wasn't using.
I think it might have been the Weather Channel App. But I'm not certain.
Just glad the popup notices seem to be gone and the apps i dumped I wont miss.
Thanks....
Seems often times the mere fact of posting my problem once or twice seems to solve the issue even if the i get few or no replies.
my buddy is in Wichita KS on T-Mobile and his phone keeps changing locations. Right now it thinks he is in Germany and the time and weather and everything changes with it. If you go to the gps app it is right but everything els thinks he is in Germany. I have always had HTC phones so I am at a loss on what he should do.
Please list the app that it works with, and the apps that it is not working with.
Well the whole phone thinks it's in Germany. The weather app that comes with it, the time on the notification bar just everything except Google maps. Google maps finds the right location.

I had a similar issue on a road trip, to Topeka last summer, with an Galaxy Exhibit running CM10 port, turned out to be the program not refreshing, changed the setting and it worked fine.
Anyone else having issues with Google maps not working properly. It is always showing me behind my actual location or going down a street or two over from where I actually am. Any fix out there for Google maps cause version 7 and 7.5 are not working at all.
When I revert back to version 6 it won't lock on to gps either. It must be my phone e then. Any fix out there?
Which ROM are you running? If you do, how often do you flash Roms. One thing I experienced from being a flashaholic is that after awhile it will poop your GPS. My fix is to return phone back to stock ROM, turn GPS on and go back into recovery and flash ROM of choice. If that's not your situation then you could try multiple GPS fix apps out there

I would say it's not a Google maps issue. As of two days ago I had a nexus 5 with the latest version of maps and I use it frequently without the slightest issue.
Then two days ago I got the note 3 and I notice that navigation is behind a lot. It's the phone not Google maps

I had the same annoying problem. The GPS would take a minute to lock, and would always think I'm a street or two over, and telling me to turn constantly. It annoyed the hell out of me. Strangely I flashed Willl03s CM11 rom and mine locks quickly now and is much more accurate. As earlier mentioned, I've had luck with using Odin and installing the stock rom too.

GPS works fine, hardware-wise, but not in Google Maps.

I am having this issue specifically with Google maps. I did thorough testing driving around tonight-- it does not happen with Waze. For me, the issue is not getting a lock-- it gets the location correct pretty quickly. The issue is that it stops updating maps (even though the phone is clearly getting current, accurate GPS data).
I was split-screening Google Maps and GPS Status. GPS Status updated location frequently and never showed an error range of above about 10-20m.
In Google Maps, the location sticks very frequently-- it will show me in the right location. Then it will stop updating my location (on the map) and catch up with me half-a-minute later or so. It does this same thing in any app that relies on Google maps, too.
Are you guys talking about driving around with google navigation or google maps? With google navigation it works flawlessly for me, if I drive around with google maps open it does tend to jump around for some reason. I dont understand why Navigation would be spot on but not maps.
use Waze
