[Q] Problems with Sygic (navigation). - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

I purchased Sygic a few months ago and at first it worked pretty good. However recently I am getting / experiencing more and more problems with this navigation program.
The problem is, whenever I start Sygic it says it's loading and then throws me back to the main screen. :S
I recently installed the Aura ROM, but this didn't fix anything.
Maybe uninstalling and removing all the configuration files would fix my problem. I understand how to uninstall, however I don't know where the configuration files are stored.
Anyone care to help or is experiencing the same problem?

Hi there!
I'm having the same issue, using ΠCrust ROM, which is based in ATT's ROM. I check into the Sygic forums, and it appears to be a bug with this ROM version. I posted for support in the forum, as in the begining, the aplication was having problems with OpenGL also. The lastest version resolvs the OpenGL problems, but this Open and ForceClose issue is still present.
Here's the link were the issue was originally reported:
http://support.sygic.com/sygic/topics/crash_on_motorola_atrix_2_3
For the FC, there's a work around, it seems it conflicts in some way with the GPS. So to start Sygic you will have to:
1. Disable GPS in the phone
2. Open Sygic, it will ask you to activate the GPS showing a dialog, click settings, activate the GPS and select back
3. Sygic will open normally
Hope it helps at least for you to use the application.

Thanks for the tips. I am on CM7 and have been experiencing the same things.

VillainROM 5.2: RELEASE CANDIDATE - GPS Problems

Hey Guys,
I tried this rom from the beginning.. but there's always been this GPS issue,
I updated Radios, re-flashed Radios after Flashing the rom, always did a wipe,
tried enabling GPS before flashing the ROM (some things, other people helped)
nothing helped for me, and i've also seen, there're many other people out there, which do have the same problem.
I like GPS myTracks, Navi, etc... everything can work fine but I don't want to restart my phone and loose about 10-15% of the power to just en-able GPS... that's way off...
so my question: some guys, brought it to work...
what radios do you use? which kind of version...
how did you flash? anything un-ordinary ;=) etc..
Please, I think there is a solution, except fixing the bug ;P
greets,
I used the latest radio version, but you have to enable gps after flashing the Rom and then restart the phone, once that's done, gps will work with no problems and as far as I know, it doesn't reset if rebooted

Are you disabling GPS and then trying to get satelites?
Is there any reason why you just don't leave GPS enabled? it won't effect anything unless its being used.
true?

I just want wo boot the phone, with GPS dis-abled, and want to enable it, just when i want to use it! that's it
so no, i'm not disabeling it and try to get satellites, I just want to boot with GPS disabled...

Okay, that's a different approach ;=)
So you have GPS always en-abled and it does not drain power? does not effect anything? and is just being used if an application like MyTracks, GoogleMaps etc is beeing opened?
What if GoogleMaps is one of the 6 'last-used' applications? sure about that?
thanks a lot for uR response,

I always have GPS enabled without any battery problems. It is only on and working when an app asks for it. Google Maps stops asking for it when you hit the return button. You can tell that for yourself. When in Google maps you can see the GPS is being used because it shows on the notification bar at the top as an icon of a white dish with green arcs. Then hit return and that icon disappears. All good apps let go of GPS as soon as they are finished with it.
BTW the list you get when you hold down the home button is only a history list - it does not mean they are working in the background.
thanks

didn't knew that, just thought those are those (for developers) who are in 'pause' mode, others are closed... thought i've read this somewhere.. but not sure..
Isn't it disturbing you, that GPS is enabled all the time?
crazyVII said:

Why should it? Just because it is enabled does not mean it is actually on or using any power. It means it is waiting to be turned on when an app I decide to open asks for it. So, for example, my sat nav, google maps, yelp, or google places all turn it on when they open and then turn it off when they finish. They are all "good" in the sense of being well designed apps, that do what they are supposed to. Sorry if you don't like that term but that is what I mean.
Not so well designed ones, like, for example, Shop Savvy don't switch it off. And that is annoying. But in any event I know whether it is on or off by looking at the notifications bar - if the dish icon is there then it is on, if not it isn't, even though I have it enabled.
If it starts coming on randomly then I know I have a rogue app doing something in the background that I have not asked it to do.
hehe thanks man
it's just the thing...
-my location
-GPS
-worldwide
PLUS: en-abled
but i understand now 'good apps' just use it on demand,
bad always have the connection open
just an open connection start battery draining
i just wanted to prevent all this by simple en-ableing it JUST when i need it
like things usally are used turned on - on demand hehe
thx man
finally : it does NOT WORK
so guys...
finally, now tested it about 1 week with the above congifuration...
GPS always on ... on boot... the whole time the phone is up
- @ modaco custom rom: i started any GPS app, and within about 10 seconds, at max 30secs i got a working GPS lock on about 4-7 satellites...
and was able to locate my me
here (vanillain 5.2): i start.. wait.. get 'to see' 2-4-5 satellites (fast) but they don't lock, they vanish for about 1sec, again 5-6 satellites ... sometimes 7 but the just don't lock ---- waiting---- waiting---- ...
i can hold my position: wait for some minutes.. then i ---- get a lock.. then also gps-tracking works... somehow, sometimes
but guys, i really don't have that much time.
I want to get GPS locks during walking.., at any time, fast. i want to get it fast, and everything else ist just '''''BS'''''
so for me: it's not working at vanillain..
that's not worth calling...it works... sry
TIP PS:
guys, switch to 'legendroid 1.01' for working GPS!
i got a lock within 5 secs in my room!!! to 8 satellites...
and enabled GPS after boot (it was dis-abled at boot time) at first boot for the first time,
everything works perfekt
thanks a lot at the developer of legendroid

Then stick to the stock ROM. I have no problem picking up GPS position very quickly with my unrooted unmodded Hero. And I get it when I am walking or driving
thanks just modaco is enough

AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II GPS problem (GPS doesn't work)

Hi all!
Please help me to solve the problem with GPS on my SGS2.
It doesn't work at all in any navigation app, though GPS test (app from market) shows, taht the device can see a couple of satelites.
My configuration:
2.3.4 android
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
Build: UnNamed ROM v1.2.0
PS
I live in Russia. Can it be so, that GPS works only in US?

It does work with wifi on, but it uses only wifi, gps doesn't work, so there is no sense in that.
I'll try your link. thx
Can you tell me please, how should I install gps.conf file? via CWM?
Update aGPS
I had the problem as well.
I downloaded GPS Test and started it.
Go into Menu|Settings
Click Clear aGPS then Update aGPS
My GPS works fine now.
Have you tried an app like this one that is known to have support for Russia?
Thank you all for your support guys.

If it still doesn't help, FasterFix from market should be able to be another way to do your gpsconf settings correctly.

Really great app! Thx!
Easy way to change the gpsconf file!
I was having problems with my GPS as well where it would not lock on no matter how long I waited. I did not have this problem when I first got my phone and I'm not sure when the bug was introduced. None of the software fixes worked for me, including the ones discussed here, and the problem persisted across all ROMS, including stock.
Finally I found someone in a forum that recommended removing the battery while the phone was on. I was hesitant to do this for obvious reasons, but my frusteration drove me to desparation and I tried it. To my surprise the GPS works good as ever and typically locks onto my location in less than 10 seconds. Obviously if you can get the software fix to work for you, this is better, but this was the only thing that worked for me. Hopefully this will help someone else.

What should the agps settings in gps.conf be set to?
I already set ATT=0 and used Faster Fix, but still locking/fixing is very slow, sometimes taking hours.
Could this have anything to do with my location? I am in China now, have unlocked the phone so using on a local carrier. Last time I was in the US (using it with ATT) it worked great.
Solved - SGH-I777 GPS fix
The sirfgps.conf ATT_NETWORK_OPERATOR=0 did nothing for me on my AT&T SGH-I777.
I got that GPS fix app and gps worked but its full of spam adverts that show on your notification bar. They appear with a star infront of the spam advert.
I fixed it the old fashion way. By remembering how I fixed my AT&T Galaxy I gps issue.
in /etc/sirfgps.conf leave att_network_operator=1
change, SSL_ENABLED=1
save and exit
in /etc/gps.conf change the following:
SUPL_HOST=www.spirent-ics.com
SUPL_PORT=7275
save and exit.
now I get 7 second gps lock in Miami Fl.

Hero not getting GPS position - until restart

Hello,
I'm seems to be having this issue since I've installed my first modded rom or Radio.
Cannot recall it just now.
It does not matter which rom I have installed but the only way to get GPS working is to reboot the phone. Since then the gps works ok for some time.
Does anyone experience the same issue? Any solutions?
Cheers

I can offer 2 suggestions.
1) Give "GPS Status" a try. Android Market. **Edit: use this app to download new GPS data. Can't remember exactly what it's called.
2) Go to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8176243&postcount=1)and search for "GPS". There are 3 files. Europe, US and Asia. Try the one for your location.
Option 2 usually works for me. I think it is compatible with any ROM.
Thanks,
flashing the radio and Heroine seem to fixed the issue.
I will keep testing it in next few days
I would also suggest the app 'GPS Status and Toolbox'.
If that fails then try a different radio.
How did you get on after a few days?

[Q] How can I test GPS on custom ROM?

yesterday I installed custom Rom (HyDrOG3N-ICS 02.04 ) on my galaxy S2 and now I am having problem with GPS signals, can anyone confirm if they are able to use gps on this Rom. thanks
Can't confirm GPS works on this rom as I don't use it, but in answer to the question raised in the subject of your post, you can test GPS with GPS Status from market. Shows all kinds of useful details/info (and comes in a 'lite' version w/ads if you're averse to paying for apps )
When I first installed the rom, gps didnt locate me when I used google maps. I just used gps fix from the market and it found me pretty fast.

I have tried GPS Status from market it did not catch any signals. I am a bit confused between, its hardware problem or software
You may test to flash other radio.
It's not HARDWARE considering that it was working on your old rom
moden and gps?
is there any connection between this 2 ?

Gps problem ???

Hello Mi Fans, I got my Xiaomi Mi10 3 weeks ago everything working very good I use gps a lot and never had any problem with my previous Mi Mix3 , with the mi 10 am getting my location but it doesn’t move when I go somewhere or use direction by google maps or use waze , it doesn’t show speed it’s just stock there , I unlocked the phone and flashed miui eu stable rom, still the same problem even though I wiped the data , anyone has the same problem please or is it an hardware issue.
I was experiencing the same problem, I use waze a lot. I happened to go into Apps. Located the GPS you use and set it to Always. For some reason mine was set to only when app is being used. Changed that and it's working fine. Let me know if that works for you.
You are right just changed it thanks a lot

I had the same issue, power settings didn't fix it for me but what did was changing some settings using QuickShortcutMaker from the play store.
Pretty sure I just changed the A-GPS server to Google. It was using a xiaomi one by default.
How did you do that? I tried to use that app, but couldnt change anything.
