I have used Sygic navigation a long time already but I can't get it going on kitkat. Rooted on stock build 757. I just get a black active area screen.
Can anyone please confirm or otherwise?

It is working for me fine. Which version are you running, did you install from scratch or restore?

I think initially I restored, but since then uninstalled and reinstalled the app from play store, but always the same problem.

Sygic web sites faq!
There is a recent issue with the new Android version 4.4 KitKat as it restricts applications from accessing the external SD card.
Currently we are working on a fix, but it is a complex issue and we will most likely fix this in one of the next updates.
In the mean time, we can only recommend you to keep the whole Sygic folder on the internal memory.
We apologize for this temporary inconvenience.

GPS/Navigation issue

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

No I didn't try a different text to - speech engine. I actually liked the stock navigation. Got used to it.

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?

Actually, it looks like that may be the problem! http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=29811
Apparently, Going to Settings --> Apps --> All, selecting Maps and choosing to Uninstall Updates will fix this.

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.

[Q] Mr Robinson Root, Maps do not work

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.

[Q] Is anyone else having GPS issues?

I'm running rooted, stock with stock kernel and my GPS signal won't get a lock. I can't use Nav or get my precise location in Maps either. I tried to reset my GPS data as well as download AGPS files, but neither proved successful. Does anyone know how to fix the issue?
yesterday mine wouldnt work at all. today it was really choppy..meaning the blue arrow jumped while driving instead of moving with me. denton, texas

Yes. Are you on 4.4.2? GPS is a known bug on 4.4.2, and 4.4.3 is supposed to fix it.

Unless they're labeled as updated or are 4.4.3, I would assume not.
just a tip, try downloading waze app and see if that fixes it!
I've had no troubles with this phone, but on my gs2 when I did I used a program from play store called "topntp" that worked wonders for getting a GPS fix.

There are no 4.4.3 ROMs from what I have looked at and if there were, none were TW, stock. Tried the app the previous post mentioned and had no luck with it. Using Waze isn't a solution to the problem, simply a workaround and I hate the UI of Waze, which is why I use Maps instead. There has to be a fix for this issue. I've ordered a replacement device in the meantime.

4.4.3 has not been released yet so there will not be any ROMs using it yet.
So what is a fix for the issue?

I don't seem to have the problem for what I use the phone for, but then I don't use navigate often. I do use one of the AGPS updater (can't recall which one at the moment) and I do get a good lock fairly quickly (under 4s).
If there really is an issue however, the fix is in the updated Android 4.4.3 release which as already stated has not yet been released. So there is no "fix".

Just sayin, it is a little better then the main apps page like live updates which includes traffice, the actual time youll get to your destination, accidents, and so on.....your probably the first one that doesnt likes waze......you did ask for a fix......i had the same issue with mine on non-rooted and rooted devices and thats the reason why i use waze, it gets the job done better then the main navi app. but it might be a faulty equipment, get it swapped but note that it will be a refurbished device
Waiting for the next update and hope it would be fixed.

I'm on DarthStalker v6 4.3 and I've been having GPS issues. Try downloading the app GPS status and running it. Every now and then I'll use it and it gets a lock on the satellites quickly.

[Q] GPS Google maps signal issue

So my wife and I have note 4's and I'm having a constant issue with GPS constantly losing signal. The only difference is I have used Chainfire's app to get root access and she has not, should that make a difference? We are both using stock ROMs I want to flash a different ROM but I haven't found any that I like enough to go back through and set my phone up all over again.
And does anyone know how to update after using chainfire?

I'm on OB7 rooted with no gps issues other than needing to do a reboot at times to get it working. Only happens if I've gone days without rebooting thou. Also I use the app GPS Status (free in the play store) for keeping gps fine tuned, might give that a try and I'm sure it works with our with out root.

Sounds like you *do* have a problem with your gps, then - rebooting and using another app is not a fix, unless you only have to do each once...
GPS Status doesn't help on my phone - there's something messed up in the software, because the problem didn't exist until I rooted and installed a custom rom. The fact that it worked fine before that change indicates that that change is a factor - and it also means that it *is* possible to have GPS with literally no problems on this hardware...

Google now cards not shown, even after wipe

Hello,
I´ve a problem with my lovely smartwatch 3 - google now cards are not shown, even after a reset of the watch. I´m not sure but can the "problem" be the latest google app update on smartphone? I´ve done a wipe for 2 times but nothing changes. Google App is running version 5.11.27.19, latest one afaik.
Greetings,
SirRobin78
The same thing has happened to me as well since around 4 days ago.
I've tried re-installing the firmware via PC Companion, but that didn't help, so I tried pairing with another phone and it still doesn't work. I'm not sure where the problem is.
Did you try to reinstall the android wear app on your phone and enable notifications? That is all I can think of.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I've already tried that as well and no joy. :crying:
The strange thing is that I get some Google cards, such as traffic time to home, etc. but I'm not getting the weather and stock info that I used to get all the time. (The cards do appear on my phone without issues.)
I´ve been having this "problem" ever since my phone updated to android 6.... I´m starting to think it might have something to do with that...

I've tested the watch on two phones, one is a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SC-04E variant) running 5.0.1 and the other is a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (SO-02G variant) running 5.0.2. so I don't think the problem is related to Android OS version.
Hopefully, the upcoming Android Wear firmware update will fix the issue.
N.B. Both phones are running stock firmware with no root.
My watch just showed me de card with stocks and weather.... But just as a regular notification card, no swiping left...
