sprint navigation update

regression said:
When I go to the About screen, I see:

Sprint Navigation
Version:2.8.0.1029

No Premium.

Just to clarify, mine says Sprint Navigation Premium at the top of the main screen, where the options say Drive To, Search, Maps & Traffic, Share & More. Doesn't say Premium on the About screen.

Maybe you can uninstall it and re-download it?

I dunno what else...maybe someone else can weigh in on this?

I don't see "Sprint Navigation Premium" when the app first starts up, on the main screen or the About screen. I guess that is why, I have the "normal" version. I'll try re-downloading and see what happens. Thanks for the patience with me!

No problem, let us know how it works out.
 
Hey guys. Quick question for everyone regarding the update.

I updated last night. Didn't get the "premium" version, just the regular. Uninstalled and reinstalled, same result. I'd LIKE the "premium" version, however, it's not the end of the world. What IS bugging me, however, is that while the update replaces the older version, it appears to sit on top of it. What I mean by this is, the update takes up space on the phone, in addition to, the one it replaces. Instead of Spring Nav taking 4.42 MB of space, it now takes over 8MB (both versions are in memory).

Is anyone else seeing this? Also, what steps did those who dl'd the premium version take to obtain it?
 
I uninstalled / reinstalled and still don't have the Premium. Oh well....

What directory on the phone are you looking to see the size?

If you go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, the Sprint Nav shows up as one of the biggest. If you go into it, as if you were going to clear the cache, you'll see it's not actually cache that's using space, but the app itself. It never used to do that, and if you uninstall and reboot the phone (sending you back to v.2.1) and check that space, it's not there.

My total is 7.07 MB, application 6.04MB, data 1.04MB.

To update, I agreed to the prompt to update, then got the message that my phone wasn't recognized, then selected HTC, then Sprint Hero 2.8 (I think.)

same thing here. that's weird.

my app was never that high. i always go into that menu to clear my browser cache, and I've never seen sprint nav towards the top of the list as one of the biggest space hogs. that's also weird.

Total = 6.99 MB
Application = 6.04 MB
Data = 0.96 MB
 
I d/led through apk. Looks like it put the new version right on top of the old one. sprint nav is 6.42mb and the 2nd largest app on my phone. Not cool. It's weird that everyone is getting different results here. I don't have a weather option either, and I live in Chicago. Weather should be supported here. SPRIIIIINT!!!

that's what I'm saying. I've NEVER seen Sprint Nav show up at the top in the Manage Applications when sorting by largest. It really sucks!

Also, oddly enough, I didn't get Premium and I'm in Chicago as well.

Well the answer is simple, Sprint hates Chicago!!! Hopefully sprint will provide an update that fixes the update :D
 
I installed it from my list of "downloads" but I have a side-note/question:

How do you delete previous files you have downloaded in your "download history"? I cannot ever see the files except when the list re-appears, nor do I know how to delete them.
 
This app is a LOT slower than the old version. It takes almost a full minute to compute a route, whereas with the old version I had route info within 15 seconds or less.

can you upload your APK file?
 
No premium here either. Any chance someone can post how they got the premium version, or better yet a copy of the premium version? Is the version on XDA the premium?

Thanks!

I installed the apk file from xda and it doesn't show premium for me....
 
Mine's also show "Sprint Navigation 2.8" on the first screen, the next screen it shows "Sprint Navigation Premium" and under the share menu #4 it list "Weather" pressing it shows the weather and other weather related info for my area. It shows under application Total =6.43MB, Application=6.04MB, Data=404KB. Cache shows 0. My phone has goggle on the back, don't know if that the different plus it's not rooted.
 
I have the Sprint Navigation Premium. Maybe it has to do with what plan one has with Sprint? I have the "Everything Data Share 1500" Family plan with 4 phones. I am also a "Sprint Premier" customer. My phone is not rooted.
 
Same plan, premiere customer - no premium Nav. :mad:

I'll try it on my wife's phone later and see what version she gets.
