Google Maps glitches in CM10.2-20130902

Hi.
There's two issues with Google Maps in bubor's CM10.2 build 20130902:
1. On a clean install, Voice Recognition is not installed. This makes Google Maps crash when pressing the Voice Search button.
Solution: Install Google Voice Search
2. When Maps is open and the phone goes to sleep (both timeout and pressing the power button work), after turning the screen back on, Maps only displays a white screen (flickering when trying to scroll).
This seems to be an NVidia/GL problem, this pops up in logcat, just before sleep and just after wake up:
E/gralloc ( 115): NvGrPost: Failed, TEGRA_DC_EXT_FLIP 6 No such device or address
Later, there's multiple failed calls to NvRmChannelSubmit.
Restarting Maps fixes the problem.
Full logcat dump attached.
Solution: I have no idea.
/edit: Same in the 20130904. Keyboard light confirmed working, though.

I noticed that I had issues last time I used google maps on my phone, not just sleeping but when switching apps and then switching back to it ... pretty useless if I want to check anything and then go back to the phone when using GPS to navigate.
Maybe re-applying GAPPS might fix it, just don't update gmaps anymore ... ?? ... I donno man.. pretty BS they dropped support of our phones because of lack of neon support. Our hardware is still to this day more than adequate ... side by side, my phone is faster response than an S3 with JB.

The new GMaps is still buggy. The glitches are present on other devices as well.

Other devices as in other Tegra 2 devices, or all 4.3 devices?
I found a post referring to a similar issue on the nvidia devzone where it turned out to be an application problem.
Google Earth does not show this issue. Can't do a logcat right now, but I suppose that's an EGL application, too.
/edit: Alright, I just learned that Google Maps 7.x is pretty new (first 7.0.0 release in July) and that downgrading to 6.14 might solve my issues. Oh the outrage in Google Maps for Android product forum on Google Groups.
/edit2: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/maps/mobile-android/aRr10hYi8AU[1-25-true]

I'm on a Tegra 3 device, the LG O4X HD and do experience the issue sometimes.

thanks for clarifying that for us!

This thread has a link to the latest Maps 6 (6.14.4):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357873
It works just fine without those issues mentioned above.

I also had the black screen issue in Maps when switching apps. As others reported, this issue is not present in Maps version 6 so I downgraded to this version.
Now I'm wondering if there is a way to fix Maps to version 6? It is annoying to update the other apps one by one, since clicking in the "Update all" button in Google Play will update Maps as well.

Same issue
I have the same issue on v7.2 with both CM and Stock Rom.
My device is the Captivate Glide (i927)

I notice that some users are reporting that through Google Play they can update to Maps 7.x, however I am unable to do so, from Google Play i can only update to Maps version 6.14.4 on my 4x HD.
What firmware version are the people getting 7.x running?
Regards,
Cecu

I suspect that this may be due to too new of a kernel. More specifically, nvidia appears to have made a lot of commits to the tegra kernel drivers. I'm going to take a closer look at the diffs tonight.
Just my $0.02.

Now on CM 11.0 I have a reverse problem: I can't delete the stock 7.x version of Maps and install working 6.14 version. The only solution I found was to roll back on CM 10.1.3, install 6.14 Maps, make a Titanium backup of 6.14 version, reflash CM 11.0 and restore 6.14 from Titanium backup. But after every reboot Google Maps are reverting to 7.x version. So I have to restore 6.14 backup every time I reboot my phone, and that's rather inconvenient. I glad that the CM 11 is very stable and allows weeks of uptime.
Dear bubor, can you make your next CM build with 6.14 Maps version or without Maps at all? 7.x version isn't working properly on Glide anyway...

Well many people have reported this . . But for the time being as a temp fix you can do this .. it works or me .

Weird behaviour scrolling lists like amazon or aliexpress.

Hello there,
I recently purchased a used HTC 10 (original purchase date ~5.2016)...
Every time I am searching the flash deals in the Amazon App (I think I have similar problems with AliExpress too, but I am not able to reproduce this on poruse. Amazon is every time making these problems.), I have this weird scrolling behavior.
Procedure:
1. Open App - enter flash deals
2. scroll list, click on entry, go back
3. scroll further
---> Screen will return to the position, where you last checked one entry by clicking on it.
It looks like the "keyboard-choosing-cursor" is stuck there. (Yellow frame around the entry), and I can't go much further down, until it will scoll up again.
Fixing is going back to previous page, going back again, scrolling down to the last items I was.
This is not the workaround I could live with, since I am very limited on using these apps.
Already shoot some google searches, but only got things like "not responsive touch" etc...
Other apps seems normal, eBay has no such problem since now...
Amazon seems to have this problems only within the flash-sales, not the normal.
For AliExpress I wasn't able to reproduce this on purpose.
Is this a app specific fault? Or is it my device?
I am coming from a M7 with CyangenMod 13 (6.0.1) and I am running on the 10 6.0.1 Stock...
Someone else experiencing this? Or heard about it?
I am very clueless..
Thanks

I've noticed this behaviour too with Swipe for Facebook and Chrome Browser. I could reproduce with Swipe by opening an external link with, for example, a floating browser like Flynx, returning to Swipe app i can't scroll well, same behaviour as your. I noticed that to the dev and it comes with a fix, but in the same time i had an update from Google Webview (Beta) in the Play Store, so i can't say who was the guilty one., but I don't have this problem now.
I make these statements because both Swipe for Facebook, Chrome Brtowser and Amazon use html wrapper/webview, but i can be wrong.

I just received the instruction to update webview from the amazon support.
Well ... I oped out the beta program, reinstalled webview and now I am fine
I have read your post to late. But you are mentioning webview too, so I think it is all about webview. Do you use the beta too?
Conclusion for me:
WebView Beta was the culprit. Reinstalling the stable fixed it for me.

I think I will stay with stable

It happens with beta chrome and webview. If an item is selected it will scroll back to that item. It has to stay in the viewport. Just deselect the item to fix it.

Super V7.01_20170123 Android N ROM - SPFT + OTA release

Its finally here! The first final release for Nougat 7.0
For now its through SPFT. If you want the OTA you'll have to wait until next month.
http://community.umidigi.com/thread-6292-1-1.html
Enjoy!

OTA "is working" for me...
I have to download .zip file from UMI DIGI site copy to SD card and use "Local update" in phone update menu. No personal data will be removed.

Hi i am using version from october 20161017.
Must i first upgrade to 20161721 and then upgrade via SPFT to Nougat?

No need for that. Flash it from your current rom.

Battery consumption
Hi. What about battery consumption in 7?? It looks more battery consumption for me ....

Is the camera any better?

Because this is the first official version of Nougat the optimisation for Wakelocks isn't the best. Also when you upgrade to a totally new Android version you need a at least 3 charge cycles where you go from 100% to 5% before you charge your device up to 100% again. One thing I've done due to the poor Wakelock management is using greenify, it works even better if you have a rooted device.

The dark camera issue has somewhat been resolved in third party apps. I noticed a bug that still persist using the selfie camera on snapchat, taking photos looks fine but if you try video recording the screen goes very dark like the previous dark camera issue.
If the poor camera was just down to software don't you think Umi would've fixed it already? I mean i had this phone since July 2016 and not much has changed. I never got this device for the camera though but for the reasonable hardware for a very cheap price.

Try Open camera app on play store. It stopped twitching of the picture. But it was dark. If it's not great!
Im not an expert but i think the problem is that they take the camera module from i.e. Samsung Galaxy s6 and some new processor from MediaTek and can't make them fully compatible...or something like that...

i am asking here because in the umi forums no one seems to be interested in responding to questions.
does anyone still has android 6 installed and rooted? i would need the apk: mtkquicksearchbox
this is the grey searchbox enabled on the homescreen by default. with this one you could search and find everything and i have no idea why i now have to cope with that bad google one.

Any root methods for Android 7.0 of UMi Super?

I have bad news for you. THe Mtkquicksearchbox doesn't work on Nougat 7. Before switching over i saved the APK and when i tried to install it after i upgraded from N6 to N7 the app just won't install.
I believe it has to do with something on the writing permissions on the system. Even after rooting my phone and giving rw permission in es file explorer it wouldn't work.
I prefer the mtk quicksearch over google and hope this might come back in a later software upgrade by Umi but i highly doubt they will put it back in future releases of N7, i could be wrong though.

Sim Card Not Detected
I updated my Android Umi Super through the local method.
But now my simcards cannot be detected.
I have tried re-booting...cold boots, Airplane Mode On Off
Simcard removal... Another Local Install
Etc.
What Should I do.

Updated to the latest firmware, now I'm getting constant soft reboots...
Tried through local OTA and the soft reboots started. Redownloaded and managed to get it to flash through local OTA again in between soft reboots, no change. Full factory reset, no change.
Tried updating through SPTool, still getting the same soft reboots every minute or so.
Any ideas out there?

Pls so I shouldn't download the v7.01...... Again if there will be problem right.

Microphone not working well after update
Since my upgrade to android 7 on my UMI super I have found a few bugs:
1.) Banking app is not working any more
2.) When I do a video chat with my friends they can't hear me at all and mostly hear white noise. This is the same on skype, messenger, watsapp calling etc. This was not present in android 6. I have reset my phone and still both problems exist Anyway to revert back to android 6?

Have they fixed the crap/no gps lock issues??? Or is that just a pipe dream???

Question Why does my At A Glance Weather not update?

title says it all.
weather only updates in the widget, when i click on the weather directly and it opens in the weather app.
then it gets outdated again until i repeat.
it never updates automatically in the at a glance widget from google.
tried the beta, cleared cache. placed the specific google weather widget also on the homescreen, nothing helps.
any ideas?
thanks guys!!

worked like a charm from the beginning for months and just stopped working like weeks ago (but i dont know if it came with an os update)

I wish I knew what to suggest besides starting from scratch. Mine on my home screen updates fine by itself. Have you checked in the Play Store to see if you're enrolled in the Beta and might've forgotten? I'm not on the Beta and I'm currently on version 13.18.7.29.arm64.

It's probably something with that version, then, since I too am on stable but yet the older 13.18.7.29.arm64. I just manually checked for all updated apps and I'm still on this version. Hopefully, they'll release a stabler Stable version soon for you.
And hopefully, that truly is the cause.
Did you try rebooting?

You on the Android 13 beta? Or was it a different beta that you had tried? I am on the Android 13 beta and have been having the same issue since I updated to the latest beta build earlier this month. Granted, I always update beta builds ASAP and so perhaps this issue is occuring due to me disabling verity and verification this time around

I am also experiencing the same issue with the May update and Google app version 13.19.7.29. Battery optimization is disabled for the Google app and Play Services. I updated the Google app around the same time I installed the May update, so one of those two updates seems to be the issue in my experience.

That's the version of the Google app I'm on, while on the May update. I'm on the May 1, 2022 Play System update, as well. My At a Glance is updating automatically fine (using Nova Launcher Prime).

I'm using the stock Pixel Launcher. At a Glance updates fine with upcoming calendar events, status of connected Bluetooth devices, etc. Weather just refuses to update on its own, and eventually disappears if I don't update it manually for a while.
One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post: I also began using LSPosed and AOSP Mods around the time I installed the May update. AOSP Mods hooks into the Pixel Launcher, which makes me wonder if it could be part of the issue.

Could be. I use AOSP Mods also (but with Nova, not the Pixel Launcher). Temporarily disable AOSP Mods, reboot, and test it for a while.

Question Firefox problems on Android 13 ROM

I'm using Pixel Extended ROM and every now and then I get notifications from Firefox says that a problem has occurred, and I then can't type in any fields on websites for logins etc. I have to force close the app and reopen it.
Does anyone else have this problem? I've reinstalled the app. Is it just my ROM, or an android 13 problem, or what? It's really starting to annoy me now

Bump. Forgot to mention that media in Firefox also won't play when this happens

I have the same problem. It's not a PEX problem because the same issues appears on CrDroid and Nameless too. It something with Firefox itself because on OOS Firefox works just fine.
So far I found no fix to that, I switched to another browser.

Yeah seeing the same issue here, currently on crDroid (latest build) myself

I've been doing my own builds of LOS20 and it affects me as well on 9 pro. It is not an issue on my 8T builds. I have tried with both 12 and 13 blobs and firmware. Most of the custom 13 roms are using 12 blobs still.
To gather some more information are all of you using models converted from TMO? Or did you start with EU/IN/GLO?

It'll continue to happen at random. I am also running Firefox beta for some time now.

EU LE2123 in my case. Glad to know it's not just me. I'm wondering if it's something to do with Firefox being used as the browser in other apps as well? I can't remember what that's called, like when an app shows a web page itself and it uses an existing browser without opening the full fat app. The only reason I suspect this is because sometimes swiping Firefox away from recents isn't enough to fix the problem, and I realise that Twitter for example also has a Firefox instance open. Closing the second app then resolved the problem

I remember an issue like this long ago that was resolved by going to about:config and turning off hardware acceleration. About:config was removed from regular play store versions of firefox but I believe you can still get to it with Firefox Beta and nightlies.
If you suspect it has something to do with webviews, you may be able to disable something for webviews in about:config
There's also possibilities something within developer options of your phone could help fix this until it's resolved officially

try brave browser...

I think all of this could be related to Keystore. If your having these problems filling out passwords in certain applications like outlook, firefox, instagram etc. the kernel is probably your issue.
There's really only a few things an end user can do to solve the problem. Either reflash firmware or switch to a compatible kernel and hope the problem goes away.
I sure hope this helps!

brave browser is really becoming a viable option on android, been quite happy with it. We quit using ffox on android long time ago, got tired of the trouble and they have become political in the last 2-3 years as well. No longer trusted here.
My daily driver is LE2125 on LOS 19.1 currently, I am having other problems on LOS20 (cert store is unstable, it screws up all mail apps that read our client X509 certs used to authenticate to our mail servers - and we do not install a google apps/play services of any kind on ours so this is just LOS20/Android 13 issue, cant blame the google apps). I have a spare LE2125 I am running LOS20 on, brave is rock solid on that too, probably worth a try. just a suggestion.

It's binder driver screwed up in kernel. There are patches in testing which greatly improve the situation but it seems not fully fixed yet. See the LOS20 thread for more information. It's not a firefox bug, just firefox is one of the apps affected by it.
