Hello,
I am new to this forum. I tried my best to look for my problem and could not find it.
I rooting my samsung galaxy s III to the mr robinson jellybean 4.1.1
Everything works fine and dandy. But the problem is that my navigation does not work at all. It always says, looking for GPS. But the gps does work because direction maps work fine. I was wondering if anyone knew what to do with this. Thanks!

Mine works fine on my end, but on the other hand I did a clean install. Then restored all apps from Titanium. I would reflash.
What should I do?

Okay sounds good. Should I just reflash the same way? I can do that. Or is there a better root that you recommend? I would like to get a hot spot to work if that is possible as well. I wonder if that is possible. But it is hard to find out what exactly each different root does.
I had the same problem at one point. Try this.
In settings my Google account > location settings, allow Google apps to find my location. Make sure its checked
Hmm Maps still not working

So I tried doing that and it worked but on the road randomly it died out again and said the same thing. Do you think it lost the GPS signal or it just isnt working. Does anyone else have this problem?

Open Play Store. Hit your menu button and select "my apps". This will give you a list of all the apps installed on your phone. It will tell you what apps there are updates for and what apps are already updated.
Works, but noticed something up with my music player

Cool! The maps work fine! Great, thanks a lot. But I did noticed something. When I play music from the music player, every couple of songs it just stops playing, but says its playing. I reset the phone it works again but then the same thing happens. When I close the program it works fine as well but the in a bit the same issue comes. Does anyone know anything about this. Thanks.

Does anybodies Google places work? I hit the search button when I want to find something and nothing ever happens.

Mine is working fine. I am on a custom rom though. I'm pretty sure it was working before rooting too.
The exact same thing has happened to me since ive owned the galaxy nexus. I have been holding out and hoping that one of those maps updates will fix our problem. A good work around is if you go to maps and type in the search bar what you are looking for and select it from the map or if you go to google places on your web browser it works ok. Not really a good solution but its worked for me.
Are you sure you guys are allowing access? When you first run it you have to grant it access. Could be in the background when you pull the drop down.

Yeah when I search in maps it works but in the places app no dice. Kinda sucks. I wonder if I uninstall it and reinstall will fix it.

Worth a try for sure. I use that app all the time if I'm out of town.
I checked and I had the same problem. I resolved it by going to:
Settings>apps>Maps> then I cleared the cache and uninstalled the updates. I went to the market and updated back to the current version and everything works fine now.
Oh how I love Android and all of it's little glitches. I see them as an opportunity to figure things out.

Hi everyone,
The issue I'm having with my GPS is that it will not say the street names when navigating. I called Samsung and they do not know why it's not working properly. They told me to call Google. I called Google and they told me to call my carrier. I called Rogers and they said it has nothing to do with them because it's a 3rd party app and it's a software issue. I'm getting nowhere with these people. I did a factory reset last night and I tested out the GPS and it was actually saying the street names. I used it today and it's back to "turn left, turn right, and so on. When I had the Nexus S, the GPS was working perfectly fine. I just bought the phone so I can exchange it for another one. But if someone can help me fix the issue here, that would be great.
My GN is from Rogers, running on 4.0.1. I do not want to root the phone.
Thanks.
No one else had or have this issue??
So this is less a GPS issue (it tracks your location fine, yes?) and more of an issue with the Navigation app? Is this the stock Android Navigation application or a third-party one?

It's not accurate in tracking my locations, but yes it does track it ok. It's more of a navigation issue. Yes it's the stock Android Navigation application that I'm having issues with. I never had this issue with any other Android I have owned.
Nexus S worked perfectly fine. I'm also using a Samsung S2 and it works perfectly fine. Worked fine with the other HTC's, Motorola's and SE's I had too.

Hmmm... have you tried a different Text-to-Speech engine? I'm partial to the IVONA TTS. I'm wondering if the shortfall is with the TTS engine you're using or with the Navigation app itself.
ICS has had gps bug updated you are on old dinosaur 4.0.1 ... the only thing i can suggest is update to 4.0.4 yakjuux (which your rogers phone is yakjuux). I know you dont want to root but ... how about just unlock bootloader flash stock 4.0.4 and relock bootloader and nobody will know the difference the toolkit can do all this for you with little effort ... thats all i can suggest to solve this issue

My friend bought his GNex from Bell on the first day it was launched. He didn't have any issues with navigation and it was running on 4.0.1. Could it be an issue with the phone? The Navigation app does not show up in my "ALL" apps.

It won't show up under Settings --> Apps, as I believe it is just a component of the Maps package. Have you made sure that is up to date in the Play Store?

I've had problems similar to this happen to me, only twice in about three years. Anyway, the fix was uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. Then Google maps started working again as it should.

I just uninstalled updates and it's fixed. You rock! Thanks for the find!
I hope Google fixes this issue soon. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I just rooted my GS3 and everything seemed to go well. I tried downloading rootkeeper from the play store, but the download just hung with a dashed line, not showing percentages. I thought it might have been the app so i tried a free game same issue. I went to my play music and couldn't play any of my songs either. I rebooted the phone a few times. still nothing.
I then disabled wifi and it downloaded like a champ. I'm wondering if this is something related to rooting the phone or a newly developed issued with my network. The phone is only a few weeks old, but i have not had any d/l issues before on this or other phones. In case it matters, which it probably does i used the mrRobinson methods.

Did I mention this was all fairly new to me. I followed this guide and used those files....so it should be the stock rom and baseband right (I had to look that up). As far as updates, if you mean ota updates i'm not sure. I flashed it today and it was 10 minutes later when I was trying to add rootkeeper via play (using my home wifi). I went into system updates and they are all up to date. What is/are MB1 and MA6. I searched but it didn't see anything that look like an explanation about those if you had a good link.

Yes I could access and use everything that I tried (foxfire, viggle, amazon app store), Play was the only thing not working, meaning it worked, I just could not download. I tried Play again at work today on WiFi and it worked normally. I will have to investigate my home network tonight. The only thing that has changed recently was the addition of a sprint airrave. I will update this later once I find something out.
Thanks for the help and suggestions CNexus and Speedin07si!
I unhooked the air rave and it is working fine again....I guess that fixes that problem.

Lol. Ironically messes up your internet connection when its supposed to make it better
Anyone figure out how to get it working over ATT?
I thought it was good to go, but after turning on NFC and downloading the app, it says not compatible.
Which is weird since its an unlocked phone.
Do you need to turn on NFC while downloading? Did you try downloading with NFC off?
Maybe either the frequency or software might not be compatible.

Someone with an Xperia Z was able to get it to work. Maybe you could test yourself and report back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203482
Is anyone else having an issue with NFC. Mine wont switch on. When i tick the box, it automatically unticks. I did copy down a load of app data so maybe i copied over a system one automatically. Any ideas?
Edit: Uninstalled the re-installed Google Wallet. Went in to apps -> NFC service. Cleared all the data and stopped the service. Rebooted the phone and it worked fine. Chose Google Wallet as wallet provider, turned the screen off, then turned it back on and now i'm back to the same problem.

why u can't change it back??! I can change back to sony without problem
there is one thing after install wallet don't update from market.
No idea, each time I revert back to the Sony build.prop after a reboot I get the Google Wallet message "Your device is not supported". When I use the Nexus build.prop is works fine. Odd that I'm getting this error.
strange!! I am c6506 tmobile
So, by all the posts here, Google Wallet does not work without some hackery? I find that interesting, considering it seems that the phone intentionally supported it. I'd love to know who dropped the ball here, Sony or Google. I would love to have Google Wallet working on my ZL, but I refuse to root my phone and alter the build.prop to get it there.
It's definitely Google's fault here. They update Google Wallet every so often with new handset support. Maybe in the next update...maybe.

I kind of figured that would be the case. I hope Google decides to support the ZL as having a non-carrier branded phone (and thus choices like Google Wallet) was half of the allure of the ZL for me.
Lately when I've been asking Google to set a reminder it ALWAYS says "sure, let me get some more information so I can help you with that" and shows the attached screen in my attachment
Hey Google, remind me at 3pm of my haircut. "sure, let me get some more information so I can help you with that"
Hey, Google remind me at 4pm to put on pants.. "sure, let me get some more information so I can help you with that"
Download the assistant app. I know it sounds dumb but try it. I had a similar issue when I had my pixel 3 the one that comes on it sux u need the full one from the playstore. a Few built in apps are like that and it's stupid to me.

Judging by the screenshot you didn't set it up fully yet. You're still showing the "GET STARTED" option. Did you go through all the steps to 100% complete the setup? That's what it looks like you need to do.

That getting started comes up every time. I've had this phone for almost a year and used Google Assistant all of the time. It's just recently that this issue has come up.
I'm going to uninstall what I can related to Google Assistant, clear data of what I can't and sign out of everything and then sign back in and see if that helps
EDIT: uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing data from some Google services, signed of my Google account linked to assistance and verything seems to be fine now
Back to doing it again...fml
You could try booting to safe mode and see if the problem persists. If not, there's an app interfering. If the problem is still there in safe mode, then that's something glitchy about the Google setup.

I haven't tried the reboot into safe mode yet. Sometimes Google Assistant gets its crap together and works fine and then other times it needs more information. At this moment it's working again. Once it acts up I'm going to do the safe mode way and see if that works.
