Yeah, i just pushed it over to the 23545 folder. Is that you Kwchan? Did you change your name?

Hi Dibbson,

Yes it's me! I asked mindfrost to change it. Prefer this one better

Update on Google Maps "My Location" (using Verizon) - Turn on WIFI

Just updated to 23545, and due to the piss poor reception in my office, I had to connect via WIFI to sync exchange. Well, I usually am very good at turning off my WIFI when I'm not using it, but forgot today. And when I was on my way home, I turned on Google Maps to check traffic.... AND MY LOCATION worked. After turning Google maps off and on a few times it kept on working. I then rebooted the phone... And it stopped working. So I got to thinking what changed... and I had remembered I left WIFI on.

Long story short - Turning on the phones WIFI fixes google maps "My Location". You do not need to be connected to a wireless network... Just need to turn on WIFI.

Tested it many times on my way home from work today. I did notice that sometimes "My Location" would not work even with WIFI turned on. In those cases a simple restart of google maps fixed it.

Any thoughts anyone?

Well, I always test run my phone without any cabs installed except for MMS. Helps to reliably determine bugs and what not.

Also, to avoid any confusion, the "My Location" feature in Google Maps will work without GPS turned on. Again, this is not dependent on GPS.

The "My Location" in Google Maps has been an issue for awhile on the Medium Hill Roms.... at least for Verzion (or just me

). BTW, I have used this feature on other custom roms without problems.

try using the default text app under the accessories folder just to make sure you don't have some other issue going on.

Actually doing some tests this morning, so if any VZ people are up for a beta test let me know. This will be way different than my usual roms btw

+1 On My Location inconsistency. I'm on Sprint and 23545 is the first issue I've had with it. As a matter of fact Google Maps worked flawlessly on 23544. No big deal, just wanted to report the issue to see how widespread it might be.

I'm always down for some testing. I won't be able to do anything until after 5pm CST today unless it's ready within the next hour.

**dibbson** · #**2099** (**permalink**) 03-13-2010, 12:28 PM

yep, flashing now to check a couple things, but should be up withing the hour. I "think" this should fix it.

**dibbson** · #**2100** (**permalink**) 03-13-2010, 01:29 PM

Here is a test for VZ aGPS, not sure if it's gonna work, but i have another I can upload if it doesn't with some more tweaks.
