Google Nav crashing since jb update

**Topgonzo** · 02-01-2013, 04:34 PM

Google navigation works beautifully for me now. Used it a few times with no problems in fact everything seems more stable.

I much more prefer the 3D mode than the 2D mode, but this worked for me! Thanks!

Finally got a chance to use nav for first time since last week's update- strangely enough "maps" crashes, but Nav still runs, i.e. the program closes with a "maps has stopped running" error report, but voice turn by turn still continues as if nothing happened.
By the way, I also have an S3 on Verizon running JB- google nav works fine (as does Waze, Telenav etc on my Evo4GLTE. makes no sense to this layman).

Oh BTW, workaround mentioned above doesn't help me, I'm already in 2D.

Work around didn't work for me either! I've disabled maps and I'm using telenav now, it works perfectly!

Remember what the doormouse said, feed your head!

Switch from 3d to 2d worked for me...Strange that it varies so much from phone to phone.

Thanks for the help.

**Cattails_r_Edible** · 02-20-2013, 03:47 PM

Someone on the market review page said it fixed their problem!

It didn't work for me, but I didn't try restarting. I'll try restarting and report back again tomorrow after driving some more. Thanks for the suggestion of restarting.

Didn't fix it for me either

No luck with the Google update for me either. I was thrilled when I saw there was an update, but bummed when I still got the maps crash.

**zqual** · 02-20-2013, 11:51 PM

Worked fine after update, then got a crash , restarted then seemed to work. Idk man. Lol boo5ted I felt the same way.

**boo5ted** · 02-21-2013, 12:04 AM

I've restarted they phone since the update, been browsing maps and it has not stopped yet. Haven't used nav yet, will update tomorrow with some testing.

Maps without "navigating" I've never had a problem with. Navigation in 3D is what has been crashing for me (since the update update to JellyBean). I rebooted last night, and tried Navigation again today a couple of times. Each time, Navigation froze up/crashed in 3D, but continues to work in 2D. The update didn't improve anything for me, but at least 2D works. Stinks that I got my hopes up with the update....I guess the wait continues.....

Same here after accepting update to Maps Vs 6.14.3 yesterday. 3D NAV still an issue.

**DavidJ726** · 02-21-2013, 05:14 PM

I actually had my phone swapped out which fixed one problem, but then another problem crept in (mic wouldn't work with speaker phone on) so after a total of 3 or 4 replacement phones over the past 14+ months, the carrier let me swap to a Samsung Galaxy 3. Personally I think the Evo had a better build quality to it, but right now all I want is to stop dealing with hardware/software issues every several months. Hopefully they fare better with the HTC One, but only time will tell.

**ginglish** · 02-21-2013, 06:48 PM

I've been thinking that my 3G is reception is getting weak and have started droping a few calls where I did not use to, so am considering an insurance swap.
ANYONE have luck with a new phone or refurb not having this Naviagtion Crash problem? If there's a chance, it might tip me over to the swap.

**Mike Lentsch** · 02-21-2013, 07:26 PM

Yep - maps crashed again with nav. Threw me off as it worked for a while after restarting after updating. Damn!!

**boo5ted** · 02-21-2013, 10:39 PM

Yep, using Nav it crashes everytime but not with maps.

**pjrake** · 03-06-2013, 05:06 PM

So still no fix? Mine keeps crashing. Using TeleNav but hate it. At least it's reliable.

**Jaggrey** · 03-06-2013, 05:35 PM

Oddly enough, the 2D trick works fine for me since the last update. It didn't before then. 3D still doesn't tho.

Since the last maps update the 2d trick works for me too!

What is the trick for putting navigation into 2d mode? Is this a function only available with JB? I haven't upgraded yet but use navigation a lot and to try it out to see if that would bug me. I didn't see how to go into 2d mode while navigating.
