[Q] gtab wifi location vegan 5.1 - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i searched and found a couple threads on this topic already, but they all seemed to be inconclusive. is there a fix for this? running vegan 5.1. will this be fixed in the final release? of which im really excited about when its released. anyway a number of apps wont work for me because the wifi location doesnt work at all, any help greatly appreciated. also thank you devs for the rom. awesome job.
also, a location spoofer app wont work for me, its one of the apps i cant see/get from my market.

Bump - - I am still unable to get wifi location on Google Maps myself. Is there a fix for this? This can, potentially, cause some problems.

Just an FYI: I recently tried Corwin's CM7 and was surprised that wifi location worked. Only ROM I have found that supports it.

I can't confirm location workss within maps in vegan7 (cause maps fc's on me). But I can say that wifi location seems to work with google seaches. FYI

Thank You, the CM7 works,
It's useless if you don't have Location services..
Thanks for the heads up..

[Q] Google Maps vs Waze Problem

I am currently using MeanBean v3.07 and really appreciate all the work Mikey has done to create a great ROM. My problem is with Google Maps Navigation that was a problem long before I rooted and started installing custom ROMs.
Any time I leave Google Maps and start Navigation the app freezes and eventually crashes. I thought it was a GPS issue, however, Waze works great. I have since switched to use Waze exlusively, however, I really do like the Google Maps integration and ease of use.
Any suggestions or troubleshooting ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Its been talked about before. The only way to "fix" it that I have seen is get a new phone. It is hit or miss on it working. Mine doesn't work but my wifes does.
It's a known issue with Jelly Bean that devs have attempted to address with little to no luck. The issue with Nav isn't with any particular ROM, as it also exists with stock, unrooted devices. Why it affects some phones but not others isn't known. Mikeyxda (among others) looked at the problem and it seems to have to do with Nav eating up memory until it crashes.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Thank you for the input. Much appreciated.

[Q] Is this the Maps flickering/glitch everyone is seeing?

I've finally hit a breaking point with Maps 7.x. Has anyone else still been having problems with it, or better yet, not had problems with it?
This is a video showing some of the problems I've been seeing. Most noticeable is the jittering glitches. If I'm driving around, the screen is unreadable for directions or street names. At the end is a screenshot I took of a completely glitched out warning prompt to tell me "please enable wifi and mobile network to improve accuracy" though you'd never be able to guess that.

I'm running Infection 2.9.1, and I've tried several kernels (ROM default, Hiro, and Funkybean) and switched up the governors and schedules, and nothing has seemed to work. I've tried disabling/enabling hardware overlays. I'm just at a loss, and hoping someone out there knows more than I do. I just finally had it because it's cool enough outside to run now without getting heat stroke, and Endomondo (my running app) freaks out and loses signal 5 steps into a run. Downgrading to Maps 6.x makes everything happy. Is sticking with the old Maps still the best solutions for this?
Is there any more information that I can provide to eventually get this resolved?
nu Maps stinks on Rezound
I unwisely installed the new Maps from Google Play Store.
It forgot my Favorite places and cached location. Experienced
poor location finding and not-fun routing to locations.
After hating it for a week, I searched for Maps 6.14.4.apk
and installed it with Root Explorer. I am very glad to have
a good working version of Maps running again now.

To be honest google has been messing up alot of things for the Rez lately and maps being one of them....no matter what kernel you are on or what rom you are on its not gonna fix this maps issue...personally i prefer waze as it is not only free on google play but just works alot better and are even more up to date than google maps....plus it has many cool features like it lets you know if theres a cop or accident up ahead...also to note theres a gps test app out there that gives you a much better lock on your gps so it wont loose its signal as much
I have the same flickering issue until I close the app and reopen it. Seems to work fine after that.

[Q] [ROM] Thor Gapps (Almost AOSP) (update 2) GPS not working

Hi everyone. Ive installed Cpasjuste's rom and have noticed a bug. As im a noob I cant post in the development thread. When I use google maps it says the gps isnt switched on even though it is and it redirects to the settings. When i go back into maps the gps is intermittent. I wondered if anyone else had noticed this bug. Also the lock screen has a plus for adding widgets but doesnt seem to do anything. Overall the rom works brilliantly and I must thank Cpasjuste for all his time and hard work on the kindle fire hdx.

[Q] Google Now No Internet Connection

I have a Nexus 5, unmodified and unrooted on 4.4.4
I disabled background data recently because I was running out.
I noticed that the Google Now Launcher had a "No Internet Connection" box even when connected to home Wi-Fi.
I re-enabled background data and pulled down to refresh.
I now have no cards at all, when there were previously some old ones.
I have cleared data and cache of both Google Now Launcher and Google Search.
I have rebooted multiple times.
I have uninstalled updates and reinstalled updates for both Google Now Launcher and Google Search.
I don't know what to do at this point, other than a full device reset.
I am facing the same issue since morning
You can try deleting the home network and then reconnecting to it.
Sent from my XT1022
I'm having the same issues.. But remember, people were having this issue after last year's Google IO.
It's definitely an issue on Google's end. I'm having problems on both my Nexus 5 and iPad Mini...
Yeah, tried everything but still no luck. I wish google sends an update
I have the same problem on Nexus 4, (4.4.4). I hope Google will fix this issue soon.
I know its not a wrong thread to ask but I am facing this issue whenever I recieve call and using the phone, no option comes up to accept or reject plus navigation bar also hides. Can anyone please suggest me whats the issue. Have searched other threads but no luck.
Hi guy i can help you
Try to change/modify the Kernel ROM, or even change your Smartphone if you are under warranty
I have tried stock, franco nd elementalx.. In all three issue persists.
Has anyone tried a full device reset?
I got some cards. When I pull to reset, I get "no internet connection again."
Forgetting and reconnecting to the Wi-fi had no effect.
I'm having the same problem with my N5. Some searching seems to indicate that it may be due to Google Now's new "Google Now Everywhere" option, only officially available on the L preview, but unofficially by a hack here:https://plus.google.com/+AdamLawrence/posts/46A68S7Dytb
I installed the L preview and played with it for a few hours and enabled the "Google Now Everywhere" option, which I assume toggles some setting at Google, so that's probably how it happened for me.
Did anyone else try the L preview or use the hack above?

I used the hack, but Google Now Everywhere is supposedly rolling out to KitKat devices too with the latest update. But with the above person seeing an issue on an iPad tells me it's on Google's end.

I haven't used any hacks at all. I think the Google Now Everywhere thing might be it. Can someone link to what it's about? I haven't found anything specific by googling.

The latest version of Google Search, 3.5.14, has the OK Google Everywhere thing. If you're not on that version, I don't think it'd be what's causing the connection issue.

I was on that version. Downgrading Google Search has fixed my issue. Thanks for the workaround! Also, I was not able to get OK Google hotword detection to on the lock screen, despite being on 3.5.14...

Hello.
Any updates or ideas about this error?
I have a device suffering this same. But by having installed CM11/12 all the time never experienced until go back to stock Motorola. Just to sold it and see the new owner told me about the problem, wanting to have his money back.
Version 4.2.x and lowers are working. Once the phone installs last 4.3.x or 4.4.x the problem starts.
Yes......This seems to be a bug.
I'm using Google Now with android 4.4.4, same issue.
