When I open my contacts (People app) and click on their address, it doesn't do anything.
I can't remember if it was on my One X or One, but usually when I click an address in contacts, it opens it in Google Maps.
Anyone have this issue?
Same here on ARHD 12.1
It's because of the new version of Google maps, it doesn't seem to work with it. Mine was opening Copilot. If I froze Copilot nothing would happen like on yours.
I uninstalled the new version of Google maps and installed an old version and it works fine.
The new version is dog sh!t.
Here's the old version, just uninstall the new version first.

I have the same problem. it started after the Google Maps update. I use this feature everyday so I noticed it right away. hopefully they get it fixed soon.
Is there anyway we can notify google of this ?

It may not be a fault with the new maps but rather the sense rom not being able to make the selection

So I was thinking that the contacts picture feature is really under used in most phones. I was wondering if there was a possibility of having an app that would sync contact photos with their profile pictures on facebook. You could sync by name or phone # if your friends have put their cell #s on their profile.
Also as a side note to that it would be nice to have a better facebook application something similar to the Iphone's app where you are able to use facebook chat aswell as see notification popups and such.

/me looks to see if he's on candid camera.
1) Open Market.
2) Search for "facebook"
3) Install app named "Facebook Contact Sync" (Syncs facebook photos to contacts)
4) Install app named "fbook" (general facebook app, no chat)
5) Install app Named "Meebo" (Supports facebook chat)
why cant there just be an all in one facebook app with chat. Why do i have to use 2 programs to do the job of one app that was already developed for the iphone and which im sure can be developed for the g1.
Sorry sir I'll get right on that.

Well from what i have read on this forum as well as off site, Developing a app for facebook with the abilities of the one for the iphone is virtually impossible at this time.
See, google and myspace are together and microsoft and facebook are together. and with apple, that app has access to the API's within facebook to easily sync and access facebooks information. Google doesnt have that ability since them and microsoft are "enemies". Full functionality with a facebook app for the G1 or android in general is probably not going to happen for a little while unless someone finds a way to access all the information on facebook.
i kinda of have an idea but i am not exactly sure if it would work

Are you the creator of the facebook app?
Bhogan123 I dont really think that that is entirely true though. There are many other programs that have integrated features with facebook. I dont think they are exclusively contracted with any company.
Fbook.
Does anyone of you have the last version of Fbook? Or any older one that is not current. I hate the new one, it won't let me upload photos!
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried emailing the dev and informing him of this issue?
I was being stupid. My album was full, it wasn't the application.
I just use iphone.facebook.com as a bookmark... the app just links you to the page anyways and I find it more stable than the app at times.
fBook application not in Market?
A friend just got the G1 this week. He is looking for the fBook application but cannot find it on the market. If he searches for "fBook" it does not come up. When he looks at the applications by popularity list, it is not there. I sent him the cyrtek barcode link and the market cannot find it: "There are no matches in Android Market for the searchname:com.nextmobileweb.fbook"
I can see it just fine on the market, I can search for it and find it, and the Cyrtek Barcode URL works as well. I do have the apk and I am waiting for him to get home to install it by "hand".
My question is, what could be the reason he does not see it? I do not yet know his firmware version and he is not the "rooting" kind. I assume (shame on me) that if he got the phone this week it should be at least on the RC 33 version, yes?
wergeld
Search typing facebook, i downloaded today...
Depending on when his supplier got the phone, it may still be on RC30. You should ensure that he's on RC33 at least, if for no other reason than he'll be ready for the OTA update push that's now occuring.
Because the market also works on SDK, if he is on the Android 1.0 SDK, he will not see any 1.1 or 1.5 applications, just as users on the 1.5 SDK will not see any 1.1 or older applications on the market either.
FBook?
EDIT: Apparently its still in the market...
Can someone confirm?
Im runnin ADP 1.5, and Im not really believing that it runs off SDK thing because I just re-rooted my new phone coming from another phone with 1.5 on it. I was able to download it on that phone fine.
I just did a fresh install of jf 1.5 adp, and can no longer find fbook in the market. I had this exact same rom installed previously, and was able to locate it with no difficulties. Seems strange...
I can't find it either and I'm on the new 1.5 official update.
Cyrket.com doesnt even have it listed under the "Social" section for any of the SDK numbers.
Maybe they're fixing it??
This is strange....
I can confirm its been pulled from the market. I just reflashed this morning and could not find the app. So I check my store demos just in case it was blocked. None of my G1s can find it in the market. I miss this app, if someone could upload the apk please, that would be awesome.

Should be 2.1.1
Why was it pulled?
Welp I just installed 3.3.0 on my G1 and now I'm getting Force Closures.
Compass arrow
Scale bar
Terrain Layer
More…
When I opened up the new Google Maps for the first time it asked “What’s new in Maps?” and it answered:
Report a problem with the map or a business listing
See businesses at an address or near a point on the map
Try out experimental features with labs
Uninstalled and reinstalled and it works fine.
Thanks for the uninstall/reinstall tip. that solved my problem. running CM-4.2.7.1
No force closes here...
The new features are cool, but nothing nearly as awesome an addition as Navigation was. Either way though, love to see that they're improving it all the time. Android's Google Maps is WAYY better than iPhone's if you ask me.
I like the fact that you can report problems right from the phone too.
I am personally getting a "package not signed" error on Enmther's TheOfficial. I uninstalled it but I still cant get it to install/
love it!! no force close after reinstall
does it have street view

Yeah it still has street view. You just long press anywhere on the screen and it brings up the next menu. As long as street view is in your area you will get the use of it. Like my area shown up above in the screen shots I do not have street view in my area so I can't really use it much.
can any one upload an apk of the new google maps, having a hard time installing it via market.

Running Cyanogen 4.2.5 and had the hacked version of 3.2.1 Maps (via XDA, before it was available on the market). Upgraded to 3.3 via market and it works fine, no FCs.

getting the same. running cyanogen 4.2.7.1 installed 3.2.1 from market fine last time. no option to uninstall from manage apps - how are you guys uninstalling?
calv
a full uninstall (e.g. i did it with Super User File Management System (SUFMS) and then reinstall via market fixes the Maps 3.30 force close issue
Having the same problem here with the unsigned package error message - tried uninstalling, manually deleting the Maps.apk file but no luck...
Does anyone have a working APK that we can just push to our app folder and get it over with?
I'm running a modified CM 4.2.7.1 (on which people are complaining about he same issue). I don't get Google with their crap they have to do to block certain features and render the whole thing useless for all users with custom roms until someone has to spend the time and figure it all out for the rest of us...

When you are on the market there should be an option to upgrade. I simply upgraded and then when I had an error I went back to the market and searched for "Google Maps" and when it came up I used the uninstall button, followed up with searching and installing.

I just tried to download it again. Its there you just have to wait for their annoying time out thing. I'd host it on my site, but honestly I'd rather not hammer the piss out of it when megaupload works just fine.
Anybody that wants to use it just rename it to Maps.apk
Its renamed funky because of an app I have installed that renames files when I tell it to back up.
Signing issues here is another thread that addresses it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596281
the link is working now
I updated my site with version 3.3.0 if anyone wants the apk...

Whats the difference if there is any with the pre-installed facebook app and the app on the Market?
As the facebook app on the Market says its not been installed, do we have the latest version?
From what I can tell, pre-installed apps don't know about updates. Like Google Maps for example. It's pre-installed on the N1, but I had to manually download the latest version. After installing from the Market, it now knows when there are updates. Just open your app and hit the menu button and see what version you are running. If it's older than the one in the Market, just grab the one from the Market and overwrite your pre-installed one.
thats the thing, the preinstalled version of facebook has no version number, or I just can't find it.
press menu and go into settings, there is no info about version no.
when you install an app from the Market when it came preinstalled on the phone, does it overwrite it (thus not doubling the space it takes on the phone)?
I've been wanting to update a few apps like Facebook and Voice but I'm running out of space and neither are that important to me yet.
-Mc
it updates/overwrites, it doesn't duplicate the app. The update for Voice makes a big difference over the old one, so do it

no problem.
The facebook app is a totally different matter though, no new features
Usually I can Remove Updates from the app settings but I think because it shipped out with the new google maps it won't allow me to.
Is there anyway I can use the old google maps (aka the logical and better version)?

Hi.
I try to use google maps with no success yet.
I use null rom, and share location with GearLocationBridge (and muck location is enabled)
Google maps launch but i cannot locate myself on the map.
On launch it says i must allow google app to use my location.
I didn't see the location menu on the parameters app from the gear, but i can get to it using google maps, and the sliders for allowing to use my location is ON.
But it didn't seems to have any effect.
I tried with both Maps 6 and 7.
Someone have a idea ?

Maybe because the gear doesn't have a built in gps?

There is no offline map program to install on the smartphone so the Gear can get the turn-by-turn text notifications? Maps is not supported as we know. Tried TomTom. I can activate notifications but... TomTom has no notifications at all, lol. Maybe Sygic? Anyone tried it?

It seems that some Sygic version is FC on some Note 3. On mine it crashes too. Should try Waze.
I'm on stock rom and unrooted for now. Got the watch a couple days ago so still messing with stock rom. Don't know if I could really get beneficts from Null rom for my kind of use.
