Anyone else having problems with AA? When I unplug from either of my head units, the phone AA app fires up and music keeps playing on the phone. Sometimes it's just the music that keeps playing in the background, so I have to start the app on the phone to stop it.
Oh, and then in AA Waze will show my car traveling sideways on the screen instead of actually orienting the road top to bottom.
It's working fine for me on the N9860. I have next to the system app version of AA also AA for phone screens installed so I can set preferences for AA on my phone. No display issues at all. I do experience sound routing problems in combination with some sound assistant settings. Multi Sound and Separate App Sound conflict with AA audio routing. You need to keep rhse settings off in Sound Assistant.

Damn, I was really hoping it was a known issue.
I have not had the audio issue however I do see that my car is not oriented properly on the map.
Make sure location setting is set for greatest accuracy.
Try clearing the System cache on the boot menu.
Try clearing cache and data if necessary on associated apks .
Is the GPS sensor working properly... check it with maps make sure it's not intermittent.
Yea, if I hop over to maps, it's running correctly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled waze. It also only does it with AA. If I unplug the phone, waze runs fine.
Waze is pretty worthless; it's dependent on Goggle maps running in the background to operate.
Just pretty face with no brains.
Try it in Safe Mode. If it runs correctly, it's a 3rd party apk.

Uhh, what?! They use totally different mapping services.. They're based off open street maps. It will run just fine with maps uninstalled.
Also, android auto doesn't work in safe mode.

You can't uninstall gmaps normally... it's running in the background when waze is being used.
When I package blocked gmaps, waze went doa; it needed it.
Works just fine on my phone with maps disabled. Waze doesn't use any code, or services from maps. They're still a separate entity, just owned by google.

Haven't used it in 2 years. I saw this behavior though.
Blocked or disabled? I blocked it so gmaps couldn't run in the background which it loves to do.
Just an update, Waze told me to just lock north up, which kinda sucks as a fix. September update didn't fix the issue.

This is a know issue with AA and Android 10 that is not affecting only Brazil. Google acknowledged it AFAIK but a fix was never delivered. Not sure if someone with Android 11 that used to have this problem can report if it still happens.
I read somewhere (sorry, can't recall where) that if you change the assistant language to English somehow it will read your messages in the right language in AA. Or maybe it was about changing the phone language to English and keeping the assistant in your language.
May have ended up causing more confusion than helping.

Hey there,
Heard that for example Navigon is not really working well on the GN.
Do you have any suggestions for offline Navigation that actually likes ICS / the GN?

Google maps with navigation works fine in the UK at least... but having it all "on board" is, I guess, a bit more reliable if you're heading into areas you may not have a data connection. I know you can now pre-cache map areas, but does the navigation part cache the whole route? I doubt it, and if you happened to go off route where you had no connection, you're a bit stuffed!
That's why I also have Copilot 8 installed... which works BTW.
Copilot live however does not :-(
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I thought Copilot Live didn't work either but... when I first installed it, it would load and go through some of the initial setup and then either give me a black screen or force close, so I reported it through the android market and left it installed nevertheless.
Today I tried to open it just to check again that it wasn't working and for some odd reason... it loaded up and asked me for my account password and downloaded my maps.. and it's still working.

I think it does cache a bit, as I've used it in areas where there's no connection.
It also has a low-res version of the maps that it flips to if it loses data for too long (no detail, just lines for roads IIRC). I think that's small so it covers a much larger area.
sygic does not work as well
Never mind, Copilot Live loads and you can select destination and it calculates the route but as soon as you say go it force closes...
Huh....so copilot and navfree works?
Hm at least 2 alternatives..
CoPilot Live Pro 8.2.0.368 seems to work ok.
The first time I installed it, it went through some setup stuff, but then kept minimising itself to the background. Trying to start it again didn't help.
I rebooted the phone and now it runs fine. I haven't tried navigating with it, but I've entered a destination and pressed "go". It correctly calculated a route, showed my current location, and was ready to go.
I'll try it on the road tomorrow.

Well. It was working. Now it just keeps dropping into the background again.
It doesn't "force close" it just waits in the notification bar saying "tap here to maximise Copilot". If you tap it maximises for a few seconds showing the splash screen then drops into the background again.
Anyone know any workarounds?
I discovered that if I am just patient and keep clicking "tap here to maximise Copilot" that eventually it will work on the third or forth attempt.
However, I have just tried turning on "force 2D acceleration" and so far Copilot has started up perfectly every time. It's also starts up much quicker. I don't know if that is just coincidence and it will go back to playing up.

I turned force acceleration off again, and Copilot is still starting up quickly first time every time. No idea what I have done but I hope it stays this way! I've tried rebooting a couple of times and it seems to be fine.
you can tell all Google Maps to cache all of the route. Works with GNavigation too.
Navigon is working now. just downloaded the map by Wlan. and the app started. did not had a chance to test it on the road.
Ndrive works just fine
Navigon installs - but when you get to the end of the 1.8GB Europe map download, it says download failed!
I logged it hoping to find a solution!
I am in need of Android guru assistance. Currently Google Maps app will not update/detect current location and repeatedly request 'Please enable a My Location source in system settings'. Location will only be updated if GPS is turned on (which was not required until this happened)
I have ticked the all the settings under the 'Locations' tab, but still the same occurs. Several apps are affected by this i.e Foursquare (unable to get location), Waze (crash upon launch).
The issue surfaced after I accidentally 'killed' the Maps app using HTC task killer, and tinkered with the Locations Settings under the Maps app.
Tried to return to default values by cross referring to a HTC Butterfly, but problem persist. Anyone has any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi Vceck,
I've already tried reinstalling as suggested. Problem still persists. Google Maps (and apps relying on its positioning) will not work with solely wifi/mobile network and requires GPS. It's quite a weird one, since I believe GMaps positioning can use wifi. Or am I wrong?

Hi internetjlmb,
Already did as you suggested, no change. Thanks for the tip tho'.
Now a grimmer issue surfaces -- the 'Maps' app is draining the battery, crazy fast. Unplugged my phone from charger at7.00AM with minimal usage (two short phone calls, no mobile network / wifi enabled), by 8.00AM battery was down to 91%, with 'Maps' taking up 71% of the usage. Screenshot is attached.
I have to disable the 'Maps' app for the time being as everytime I enable it, battery goes down and phone overheats, I kid you not.
Already sent a feedback to Google, but not hoping for any response. Anyone else knows how to solve this predicament? Just to confirm, whenever we 'tick' the 'Google's location service' under the [Location] tab, should it ask any question such as 'Are you sure?' or anything. Mine just ticked and did nothing.

Hi,
Anyone with a solution to this? This annoys the heck out of me. Is it a phone or Google settings issue?
Thanks.
Issue with recent Google services update
Having exactly the same problem as described by VDread. Folks over Android Central are reporting similar problems and suggest that the problem is with recent Google update and that google is aware of this and that they are working on it.
I was going to do a factory reset but perhaps I settle for disabling Maps for now.
Hi Kreisi,
Thanks for the info. At least me and Zodiark arent the only one with this issue. This however beckons the question : why only some units affected, as opposed to a global scale issue. Hmm.
I have just realized that I am experiencing the same issue. It could also be responsible for the poor battery life on my phone...

Well it comforts me to see that there are others and that this is Google related, and that they're working on it. It would be more annoying in the long run if this was just another messed up update by HTC and we had to wait for the next one, hoping it will make the phone usable (like it was supposed to be). I do however hope the fix will come SOON -- my phone seems to be awake all the time, all the location-related services are non-functional, the battery life is piss poor.
Svucinic811,
Disable the 'Maps' apps for the time being. That has been draining my phone's battery. That should help alleviate the heavy usage -- as the phone tend to overheat even in sleep mode. Weird error. Reports from Android Central says that a certain folder/data was somehow misplaced by Google when HTC phones are updated. Could be a Sense v Google settings issue.

Apparently also affecting the One, One S and even the EVO.
Some LG phones are also affected. Could be an issue between Google vs ROM settings.
My phone returned to normal after I disabled the 'Maps' apps. The downside is, I can't use Google Now, Google Maps and any apps thats related to those. Even Waze. Total bummer.
According to Android Central (http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...w-keeps-saying-my-location-service-off-2.html), the issue is the recent Google update caused some data folders i.e Network Locations to appear in user's 'Downloaded Apps' folder instead of the Android system.
Factory resetting wont help either -- most have the issue resurface after several hours of use.
Owh well, the issue turned my smartphone to a semi-smartphone.
I seem to not having this issue..
or that's just me that didn't realize it? -_-
although yea i must turn on GPS to be able to pinpoint my location
even if i want to update current location i need that stupud GPS to be on

I live in a country that Google Now is enabled but I don't use it.
So I don't have the customized notifications and results when I use "OK Google" on my device.
But the great power of the device is the notifications from apps. This is the best part and the main reason to get it. I haven't regretted using the device the past weeks.

Looks like I'm getting a cool Christmas present!!
I've had my SSW3 for a few days now, I've slept with it, been running with it, and Google Fit collects the data on the watch. However, Google Fit does not upload to the website or the phone, I think this is because Google Location Reporting isn't available (we all have Google Now it seems!!).
Any tips on getting my steps from my watch, to my phone, to the internet?

Google Now isn't the issue, it's the location reporting. This can't be faked it seems.
I think you have to set searchlanguage to English US.
I have set searchlanguage to "English US" and got voicesetting or speechsetting set to "Dutch". Now it seems to work best. Like "Navigate to.......(Dutch adress)" works now.
Hi all,
I know there are quite a few people with issues on the google app crashing and I thought it might be helpful to see if we could collate different people's experience here - what hardware (RK?), rom, version etc, in case there is a particular version that works.
I have a RK3066/stock rom configuration. In terms of the version I have tried:
So 3.3.12 didn't crash at all in my brief test . But can't voice dial, guess they changed how it works some point after that .
5.4.x can crash repeatedly, best case feels like every other time. It also does not pick up my navigate requests correctly.
4.9.22 crashes infrequently so far. Never repeatedly which is importantly , worst every other time,usual say every five attempts.
4.7.x similar to 4.9.22
4.5.x - crashed alot
4.1.x crashes every 2-3 attempts, but can voice dial with this version (and above).
There is a 5.12 beta I haven' tried.
APKs at http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/
Finally, is there a way of logging the detail of a google app crash - to see if there is something specific causing it?
Cheers
Another option.. I played w/ it on my phone and it was pretty nice. It does rely on google voice search so who knows if it'll crash also.

I would prefer to dig into why it crashes rather them retry to replace it. We know Goggle Voice works well when it works we just need to keep it working.

Yes I think this will get us furthest, if we can understand why it crashes, then maybe there is a work around. Is it to do with microphone readiness, data connection or some other launch/ROM issue????
Having a crash free google app voice search would turn this HU from good to virtually perfect for me!

Yes, I also thought that 4.9.22 is one of the most stable of those that I have tried and have proper functionality. I'm on RK3066 and stock ROM. Interesting that your RK3188 doesn't improve things markedly, I don't think it is a processing power issue.
I was thinking about this a little bit more, I remember trying 3.3.12 (or whatever is the stock one installed) and it was very stable, but can't voice dial on it; 4.1.x etc start to crash so I wonder if there is information out there about the main changes that happened between these versions and so what might be causing it. is it something that has greater dependency on a good wifi connection or something else or some kind of software module that's not meshing right with the HU?

launch Google Now, it will detect a new version, update it.
I can use Google Now to launch default Radio and Music app by "play music" and "play radio".
"play disc" not working for me, neither are "navigate home" and "navigate office", they just get normal search results.

Has anyone gone done the route of changing the PrebulitGMSCore apk but with a more functional Google Now etc?
I'm hesitant to dig into this until Malaysk's next update that will be out soon.
Hello all,
I made some good progress, although with one drawback.
Today I tried v3.6 (I think it was 3.6.16) from apkmirror. And tried it just under ten times with NO crashes. A record for my head unit!!
v3.6 does have calling functionality, and navigate works fine too.
The only drawback seems to be the play music function (I really only need these three functions as everything else I do is quite straightforward from steering wheel controls). It doesn't seem to bring up poweramp and play the music as later versions do....But maybe this is something can be resolved by settings, I need to investigate more when I am back in the car.
Please can others try this and contribute to the thread - I feel I am so close to having this up and running well!
I'm going to continue posting on this thread, although it does somewhat feel like I am talking to myself.
So in the car a couple more times today. Absolutely no crashes on this version of 3.6.16 (what did they change after that which made it no work so well on MTCB HU?). When online, call and navigation work brill, don't know why it refused to play ball on play music.
Messing around with some voice command apps, and still testing this, but this sorts out the play music, and play music and navigate commands work well when offline - but just cant seem to get call to recognise properly when offline - it would be the last missing link for me - think it might be something that can be customised to be fixed though - will update when I figure this last bit out!
I'll play with this soon also.
Dave
I'm swamped right now but I will try to test it later in the week.
Ok, that would be great - was in the car again this morning and seemed to work fine. If someone knows how to make this version work well with the play music command (i.e. find local music and load it in poweramp), that would be great!
The other reason why i went to 3.6 is that it offline voices is meant to work but it isn't. I am wondering if the gapps version needs to also be rolled back to an earlier version for offline voices to work.

Please continue to talk to yourself, i'm listening
I hope to give version 3.6.16 a try later today and I'll post my results here.
There are some things I need to figure out to make this HU (almost) perfect and a stable voice command/search certainly is one of them.
I loaded 3.6.16 today and so far no issues. Do you happen to have a chameleon or version history so we can try to bisect this?
My Pixel XL GPS doesn't report accurate location during navigation and it causes the navigation app to always show my car a few feet off the road and keep recalculating the route. It is more severe in Waze but it is noticeable in Google Map too. Someone created a video of the issue: See this videohttps://youtu.be/LyOZW3BSQcY
Talked to Google support per usual they say go to Safe mode or reset the device but it didn't help. Anybody else observed this issue? It is common enough that Sprint created a document on how to address it but it doesn't help. People have reported it on Reddit and Verizon forums too but wanted to see what has been the experience here.
no video link. Regardless I have only encountered what you describe once when there was a split in the highway for an exit. After I started pointing a different direction it snapped back into place. Outside of that my GPS has been great. I am on Verizon if that matters.

My Pixel XL GPS doesn't report accurate location during navigation and it causes the navigation app to always show my car a few feet off the road and keep recalculating the route. It is more severe in Waze but it is noticeable in Google Map too. Someone created a video of the issue: See this video
Talked to Google support per usual they say go to Safe mode or reset the device but it didn't help. Anybody else observed this issue?

I had an incident yesterday where I was continuing on a freeway at 70 MPH,. But Google Maps thought I had veered from its directions by exiting on a low speed very curvy road, so regenerated directions for that. This never happened wth any of my Nexus devices.
Im having this issue as well. Google Maps seems fine, but Waze seems a lot more jumpy and recalculates my route every few seconds. Pretty annoying.

Yea I never seen this issue on any Nexus. Since it seem to be common,not sure if a replacement would solve it. Posted it on Google product forum too to raise it to Google:

Me Too...
So are you guys still having problems with this?
It's gotten to the point where I don't want to use Waze anymore - and I LOVE Waze. It seems like it should just be some sort of software tweak to fix this problem...
I hope it at least gets fixed before Waze comes to Android Auto.
Lame was hoping this got better and was looking forward to a working gps on Pixel.
Ive had this issue eventually pop up on every device. Currently on LG v10.. Upsetting :/

Try deleting the app data and cache. Then uninstall and reinstall the app. So far its worked for me. Need to test it a few more days before I can confirm its a permanent fix.
I saw this post so I turned on Google Maps & used it to navigate home from work, about 15 miles. Not a big test, but it worked fine, followed be closely, always had me exactly where I was on the road down to the lane I was in.
I have had zero issues with Maps. I do not use Waze. (on ATT)
I have had the GPS issue first on the Pixel (was not following my location accurately and would not give me turn by turn directions) spoke with Google support, all their solutions failed including the factory reset so returned the Pixel and upgrades to the XL model have had it for 3 days and started having same issue again today!!! This issue is on maps and I have only downloaded normal certified apps I was very excited about the 1st Google phone as I love their products but this is very discouraging as the exact same problem has now happened with BOTH phone models. I have Verizon service but based on all of these comments am starting to believe it is a hardware issue and not the service provider. Hoping they can get this bug fixed and quickly otherwise I will be returning for a different device.
My Pixel XL was fine for the first few days. Then I put it in a case and rooted it, and ever since then the GPS is acting wonky in Waze, losing its fix, not getting satellites, acting nuts.
Trying to determine the issue...
I find it awful on maps!! I've had it showing me going backwards and the rotation is off!
Tried with waze and it was OK though so I've no idea

Waze and Google Maps both keep losing GPS signal.
Waze starts to go absolutely haywire.
Google Maps just says "seeking GPS signal" every 30 seconds
Ive done a full factory reset and it's still happening.
Maybe something wrong with the GPS chip, or on the underlying OS??
Just spent 2 hours troubleshooting with a Google tech. They will be calling me back son (they just told me to test it after a full factory reset). No luck!
I'm also having this issue with the pixel xl. Seems much worse in Waze but happens in Google maps a little as well.
Well my GPS died some time this weekend. I was loosing GPS lock on google maps. GPS test is no longer shows it lock onto any satellites when my nexus 6 sees 7-9. Replacement is on the way. I would recommend anyone having this problem check with a gps test/info app and make sure the hardware is working correctly.
I replicated the problem on NDE63V, the OS the device shipped on and was working on before, along with NMF26O and NMF26Q.
Waze is unusable now. I am seeing the same behavior. Google Maps is ok, but waze jumps all over the place.
It is pure speculation, but I wonder if it is tied to how the OS is using the accelerometers. I think google Maps uses both the GPS position and accelerometers.

1/2/2017 - Google Confirming Software Issue with GPS
I'm having the same problem.
Last week my GPS on my Google Pixel stopped working. When I open google maps, it shows the blue dot correctly with the compass working properly. However, when I start navigation or driving mode, it does not work. I also tried Waze and that also does not work - just holds on Searching for GPS. I also tried the app 'GPS Test' and it shows 'No Fix' on the GPS Status.
I contacted google pixel support this morning and they confirmed Google is aware of the problem and have identified it as a software issue.

That's wonderful! Did they give you any information on how you others can refer to the issue, such as a bug number or anything?
I'm also having the same issue with my Pixel when using Waze, and since stopped using it, due to it being redirected consistently. Switching to Maps Navigation the issue doesn't seem to exists, however, if I just use Maps, I can see that the compass is not oriented in the correct direction, and have to do the figure 8 calibration consistently so that it can be oriented correctly. The blue indicator dot is also not correctly located on the map, and can be off by many feet/meter. This is the only way I have been able recreate the issue I'm seeing with Waze but on Maps this time, it seems that Maps Navigation is more forgiving on the GPS irregularities than Waze, which is why Maps Navigation is a much better experience than Waze on the Pixel or Pixel XL.
Haven't experienced anything drastic with the gps lock, but I do notice that the direction of where i'm facing is constantly off. Tried calibrating the compass to no avail. The direction feature would also throw off driving directions as it doesn't know which way you are headed when stopped.
