GPS Navigation

Is there a good working navigation program? I tried with navigon but it wouldn't start. Tried out IGO with 800x600 resolution but it will only use 1/3 of the screen?
Any good tips?

Have you tried Google Maps or Navigation?
Brian

Yes but I would like to have maps in phone, not downloading when you need it cause it's gonna be expensive when drive down in Europe.

Try Sygic 11.2.3
It's very nice and compatible with ICS.

Navigon has one that's good but expensive.

You can precache areas in google maps so you can navigate the route even if you have your cellular turned off when driving.

Good !!!!!

I use CoPilot 8.2, it is pretty good, and not so expensive. I have it on my GN right now.

If you don't Google navigation then try Waze. Social navigation

Pre cache does work great but won't do navigation mode w/o an internet connection sadly. Still very useful as long as your not driving...
Peter let us know if you find one that works well on ICS please

Interesting... figured it was good for navigation. Thankfully, I switched to VZ, so my dead-zones are almost non-existent in America

Has anyone tried IGO?

I tried Igo (build 8.4.2.139242).
It works but it uses only 1/3 of the screen, so it was very small. It said it was 800x600 resolution and thought it would stretch out to fill the screen but it didn't.

Downloaded Route 66 Follow me from market place. You get 30 day's trail.
It works but the follow me function in which you use the camera wouldn't work.
Addresses are also incomplete for Sweden so will see if I find another one to try.

Copilot just updated their app and it now works perfectly.

Google Maps 7.0

Anyone download the new maps? I just received the update via the play store last night ... downloaded it and it's slow as heck! Runs much slower (fps-wise) than the previous maps. Also several features are hidden / removed...
Thoughts?
EDIT: Added APK
http://www1.datafilehost.com/d/920483f4

Map Caching still there
Map Caching is still there... but its an easter egg right now...
Search for "Okay Maps" and it'll copy it to the clipboard, aka the cache.

The first link below is for the Article about the Update for Google Maps. It also contains a link to the apk. The second link is for more information explaining about the features that are missing.
Google Maps v7.0.0
New Google Maps Offline Maps Still available

so this update removes Navigation and incorporates it into the maps app, then tells you that the "maps navigation" is in beta and to use caution. nice

Well WTH! I wonder why it seems so sluggish on my phone. I just ran a quick quadrant test to make sure everything is running up to snuff and got a nice ~5600 or so, so no issues there. Everything else seems in line, and the old maps ran fine too.
So you don't find the frame rate to be slow or anything? I wonder what the heck is going on with my phone. Perhaps I should reboot after updating..

I'm wondering why the features besides caching map data found in labs appear to all be missing. I'm particularly missing the "measure" feature that allows me to measure distance as the crow flies between any two points. I'm also bummed about the bigger text option disappearing. Obviously there are lots of cool new features and I love the new interface but wish they didn't remove features that were already buried in the labs section.

I hate it. I used Latitude and they retired it claiming you could use Google+ for the same thing. Well you can't. My Google+ locations (with everything enabled), just shows my icon against a grid. There's no map underneath like they advertise.

Build number JWR66N breaks Netflix on all devices. Wait for the next OTA or install it yourself with one of the guides.

I'm still on JSS15J though... no updates yet.

I had a similar problem. I just cleared the app data, force quit, restarted the app, and logged back in. I'm on JSS15Q though. Not sure if that matters.

This does in fact matter. As far as I know, netflix is broken on JWR66N and will only work on the JSSXXX builds.
You can fix this issue manually here. You must have the ADB tools on your computer, and can get them from this thread. This is how I fixed mine. Just make sure you pay attention and know what you're doing.
EDIT: I recommend going to JSS15Q from whatever build you are on.

A reboot didn't do it for me. This only happened on my first run of Netflix on my new N7. Netflix was one of many apps that were automatically restored on sign-in, and I'm thinking it restored the data along with it. I don't recall being asked to sign in the first time I ran it, when it failed to work properly. After clearing the data and signing in, it worked fine for me. Either way, it works now.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I am having the same type of problem.... I have a rooted 2013 N7 on the latest firmware (JSS15J).
If I use the netflix from the play store I get stuck on the first red screen with the spinning logo and can never get past that point. I have tried uninstalling about 100 times, clearing app data, force closing app, rebooting, etc.... nothing works for me.
I had to go back and install an older version of netflix to at least get it working at all.
Is this happening to anyone else and if so please let us know the exact steps needed to work around this.
Thanks!

To be quite honest, stock android on this device is buggy as hell so far. I am a stock/rooted whenever possible kind of guy generally speaking(I always prefer it since you can get OTA's etc), but I was forced to switch to CyanogenMod 10.2 KANGS on this device, due to crazy bugs. They are now a thing of the past. From the smart-cover bug to the GPS bug to the Netflix BREAK, all of these problems are no problem for me. So go get PA or CM or something until Google/Asus gets their **** together! :good:

Same here. Stock non rooted. Can't get past the red screen.

If you go back to 2.4.0 build 939, the bluetooth audio problem goes away, here's a copy from my backup:

May need to install, and do a force stop / clear data before it connects. The Netflix Android app seems to have more bugs than functionality.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 On screen controls, Netflix, BBC iPlayer

There is definitely an issue with the on screen controls and Netflix, BBC iPlayer, TV Anywhere (Virgin) etc
Many people have complained on Netflix's Play Store page by giving 1 star and saying since the Netflix update you are not able to pause, scroll forward or back as the on screen controls appear for a split second and then disappear, but it isn't Netflix's fault as the same issue exists with BBC iPlayer (downloaded content playing back only - not streaming) and Virgin's TV Anywhere.
This only began after the OTA upgrade to 4.4.2.
Apart from my feelings that the battery is draining quicker, the navigation is not as fluid and the native video player sound is not as good, this update has proved to be a failure in my view.
I read that the bootloader was locked so custom rom is out of the question at the moment (I think, not that clued up on such issues) - but I wouldn't want to root anyway as it renders Sky Go and other apps useless.
Can someone shed some light as to what is wrong and how to fix?

No problem with BBC I Player. Don't use the other two. I'm rooted and been able to get rid of some of the Samsung junk. Can't run apk's as reported in another thread. Have you a link to the bootloader issue?

So if you download a programme on iPlayer and watch you are able to pause while watching?
The thread I saw the locked bootloader info was here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788770 - but I am not sure if this is referencing a different rom?

Sorry for delay in replying. Yes I can pause. I'm also note on CM11 4.4.4. And extremely happy

We just don't get it. Old Xperia L could play it, but the S3 get's no love on the game for some reason,.

Its an issue with 4.3 on the S3 and I don't know why they haven't been able to fix it. I did get it to run a while back but had to install an older version that I knew worked because I used to run it

Yeah the older versions worked perfectly but the new one is not.

This new versions been out for a while. I dont think theyre doing a bug fix.
Ps: does anyone know how to disable the update notification in the old versions. i cant play with data/wifi on because it keep bugging me to update to the new version. it takes me to the market and as you know its "incompetible"

If enough people email the dev it might motivate them to fix it. Especially if everyone starts demanding refunds and leaving poor reviews. No guarantee of course, but its more guaranteed that nothing will happen if no one tries to make it happen!
In app manager most apps have a checkbox for display notifications. Maybe that'll help?
