Google Nav crashing since jb update

[boo5ted]

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

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

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!

Remember what the doormouse said, feed your head!

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.

You tap on the compass and it will change the view.

We just got our EVOLTE's last Saturday. My wife and I are new to HTC and new to Sprint. One update pushed through but it was just a minor ICS update. Well, two days ago the JB update was ready. I went ahead against my gut feeling and did our updates. I had been reading this form and making notes of the "displeasure" of the update and the effect it's having on Nav. I use Nav a lot so I was very hesitant. I did it anyway and I got to tell you guys....so far so good!! No issues with maps or Nav. I tested it out three times so far including for an hour drive yesterday and no problems whatsoever. Guess I lucked out Love the camera update, btw.

Glad to hear you're happy! The vast majority of phones have updated with no problems. That's what I hate about forums you almost exclusively see problems and not all the successes.

What do people like better with Google Nav vs TeleNav?

I just ask because Google Nav always gives me the shortest distance route with no way to select the fastest route (unless was added, haven't used it in a while). In some cases this can be a pretty big discrepancy in travel time as Google Nav will often send you across 25-30 miles of surface streets when you could add four or five miles and be almost all highway.

Thanks for that. Didn't even think of tapping the compass. I set it to 2d, and then I upgraded to jb, and the setting stayed in 2d. I will be testing to see if nav crashes. Hoping it doesn't!

I've always liked Telenav better, but Google Nav seems to startup and get going much faster, which is why I've started to prefer that.

Thanks for that. Didn't even think of tapping the compass. Inset it to 2d, and then I upgraded to in, and the setting stayed in 2d. I will be testing to see if nav crashes. Hoping it doesn't!

Hopefully not! It's such a bizarre problem. Hopefully it gets fixed eventually. Better than when I had my Epic, where after an update the GPS would only work for about 10 minutes then mysteriously lose its fix. It would only work again if you rebooted. Now THAT was an annoying problem!

Wow still no movement on this issue? Or did I miss something?

Nope, no improvement

I stopped using it and switched to TeleNav. I'm not crazy about it but at least it's reliable.

I've written the president of AT&T Wireless, coping product managers at Google and HTC. Suggest everyone else do the same. My letter (with their addresses) can be cloned from:

I saw Maps updated today, but I didn't bother to try Nav again in the 3D view. I'll try it and if it doesn't work, I'll just keep doing what I've been doing.

 

[pjrake]

I'm still upset about this! One of the reasons I got this phone. Using TeleNav but hate the screen.

I've had this problem since I rooted my HTC One S and updated to JB. Shame on HTC/Google for no solutions.

Any updates now that the new Maps is filtering out?
