Google maps really stuttery after lollipop update. - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having google maps totally laggy threw out whole app after update?

Everything else is silky smooth but maps..

Uninstall and put back
BAD ASS NOTE 4

I have Uninstalled all updates,disabled it,turned it back on and it still laggy.

Is it Maps in general or maybe GPS?

I noticed when I launched Waze while I had an audio book playing, that it distorted the audio for about 10 seconds then resumed to normal.

It's maps in general,wife's nexus 6 is super smooth in maps,maybe it's always been that choppy,just can really notice with as smooth as everything else is now on lollipop, smh lol

It used to say turn right on "street name" now it just says turn right without the street name?? Don't like this one bit!

Using Motorola Camera can cause background apps to close

It seems like there's a 50% chance that when I take a photo with the Motorola camera, it causes Screen Balance (and often Tasker) to close. They'll restart themselves after a period of course but I'm curious as to whether anyone has experienced this themselves.
Not only that, I get major redraws on the home screen.
Yeah, it's like Motorola Camera suddenly eats all the RAM for a second, kicking everything else out of memory (hence the launcher redraw). I don't get why though. So long as it isn't just me being crazy.
I just got my XT1095 last night and had this issue in the morning. Glad I'm not going crazy. BeyondPod and Waze shut off on me when I took a photo while driving to work. I'm on 22.21.11 so it's definitely there in the latest version.
Where does one report bugs for Motorola apps?
I face the same problem: using camera kills Google Maps navigation.
Test: I got waze and Google nav running at the same time, opened some random apps and then opened Camera. Took a pic, a video. Waze and Google nav still running. I'm still on kit kat
Are you all on lollipop?

I have a little bit different issue. I noticed that I can do the twist launching, so I open the camera manually, and have the same issues like you guys. I'm not sure about whether this is the camera problem or the other services that linked to the camera.
Thanks to you guys. I will avoid using moto camera for a while, although it works fine so far.
I'm on KK. The annoying thing is it isn't 100% reproducible. I sent Motorola an email via the Play Store listing for the Camera app, if anyone else feels like doing it too go ahead. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.camera

help! super lagging oculus 360photos

Hey need some help 360photos app on my gear vr for s6 has gotten some extreme lag now with head movement and I have no Idea why? Only app that does it... well cinema does it slightly but 360photos is like I'm tripping hard on shrooms or drank a fifth of vodka and everytime I move my head it's like a blur till I stop my head and it focuses. Does it regardless of Internet connection (turned on airplane mode to see if it was a streaming issue).* Uninstalled 360photos and oculus home neither of which helped me. Only thing I've really tinkered with in the actual vr apps is sideloading downloaded videos into milkvr app. Most of which don't work now that I downloaded the latest update, for some reason. I didn't convert them when uploaded them onto s6 just copied them but still not sure why that would be an issue. Anyone else having this issue or is there anything that I can do to make it clear up the way it was when I bought it. Really don't want to have go through the bulls hit Hassel of resetting my phone. Help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
I have experienced this a few times with my S6. Both times turned out to cause by some third party app. First one was a sense 7 clock widget. After uninstalling, issue went away. Second time was after installing sygic gps. Your issue could very well be the same, some rouge app that was poorly written.

No I got it fixed would say that was it but havn't deleted any apps. I had to go into the dialer enter *#0*# brings up a menu, select scope ( I think, been a few days since I figured it out) and you have to run checks on gyroscope and manually calibarate compass.

Back Key/Button Not Working within Google Play app? Normal?

I've just noticed that the Back key/button does not work when I'm in the Google Play App.
I'm forced to use the arrow in the upper left corner since my Note 5 Back button is not working...
So far I've only noticed it not working within Google Play...
Just curious if this is normal? Or if something is going on with my phone...
(I never noticed this before because I normally go to the app store on the computer and install the apps on all my devices from there, but I happen to be out looking for a new app someone recommended and noticed the Back Key issue)
I've had this happen using Gmail.. I end up having to use the arrow in the upper left to return to the previous screen. Doesn't happen every time I use Gmail, but maybe 50% of the time. Usually, I have to kill the app totally, and restart Gmail and it's ok. No other app acts like this... I haven't used Google pay, so wouldn't know about that.

hi ,
yes ,you quite right this has happen to me a few times ( recently ,Note5 ... 920C )
When i used my Note 8.0 tab( just afterwards )i found it to do the same( Back button etc ,had to use the top arrow .) Its working ok now .
i suspect its some bug with Play store ... or some bug between Play and Note5
good luck

It seems to be constant for me, I killed the app, rebooted the phone, still won't let me use the back key/button...
Its rather frustrating as the back arrow in the upper left corner is really far away from my thumb.
Same thing here. N920CD. It happens occasionally.

I'm experiencing it while in the Gmail app on my S6 Edge Plus (SM-G928V), dad has the Note 5, and has seen it too. Haven't noticed it in Play store, yet. However, not as often as 50%, more like 5%, but it's still happening after a couple weeks. Maybe it's a Samsung button issue??.. maybe not...since it's only Google Apps mostly?
i thought my phone was faulty until i read this thread..
yes.. same with my note 5 since day 1 .. happens intermittently for gmail app.. hopefully samsung will fix it in an update.
is this issue even on custom roms ??
Nope... The back button always works fine for me on the Play Store app and Gmail. 100% Stock except using Nova launcher.

I use Waze and Google maps often on. 178 without seeing this. Pokémon go is not on my phone.

Question Maps keeps crashing

Google maps crashes constantly and only occasionally works. Has this happened to a gone else or is there a fix?

Nope. It hasn't crashed on me so far. I use it every day for commuting and it's worked fine (am on BUKG)
It's janky and much more laggy on A12 as compared to A11, especially when moving the screen around and having a media app playing, but except for that stutteriness, it does the job. Doesn't crash. Not so far, at least.
Do you have a Hex-Theme enabled? If yes, you need to disable it, to make Maps working again. But be aware, if you disable your Theme one OneUI 4, you can't apply it again (it will reset after 10 Minutes).

Have you tried FC then clearing app storage in settings?
(I occasionally get repeat FC in Maps after a google cloud restore when setting up a new phone and clear storage resolves it).
