sprint navigation update

JB in AZ said:
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.

As I said the last time you asked me to upload the apk, earlier in this thread, I don't know how. If someone would walk me thru the steps, I would be willing to try.
 
connect your phone to the computer....mount the phone.

go to your download folder...copy and paste it to your pc..

use mediafire.com/megaupload.com/depositfiles.com ...upload and that's it..
 
I read this thread, updated the app and I have the plain old 2.8 version. Still nice, but I'm a geek and the premium sounds cool.
 
Since I updated, it seems like my phone has run a bit more laggy and less efficient (especially battery wise) then before the update.

If I uninstall too see if this fixes these problems, will I be able to reinstall the new version? Will it give me an update prompt every time I load Sprint Nav.?
 
Here is the Premium APK that I got from Sprint. For the life of me I can't get it to work on my phone. It will work the first time on my phone, but after that, just a blank screen and force close. Hopefully it works for everyone else.

Mike, thanks for posting. I downloaded it and tried and did not get premium. The file name is also the same as the one I downloaded originally, so I am not sure what is going on. Ironically, I have no problmes running it. Maybe your issues come from having gotten premium once, and installing the regular version over it?

When I uninstall it and reopen Sprint Nav, it's just the regular version. I'm just gonna use the pre kitchen and wipe it out entirely and use Google Maps. I've got a GPS for my car anyway.
 
Okay, here is what I did and I think i got it working right. Before when I went to upgrade Nav, it said that it didn't recognize my phone and I had to pick from a list of devices to get the APK. After downloading the right one, it would work the first time and then if I tried to open the app again, all I would get was a blank screen.

I went into Applications and scrolled down to Sprint Navigation and clicked on it. Then clicked on uninstall. After that I powered down the phone and booted into recovery. From there wipe/factory reset, then reboot. When I got done re-syncing with my gmail account, I opened Sprint Nav. When asked if I wanted to upgrade, I clicked on upgrade, and wasn't told that my device wasn't recognized (woohoo). When it finished downloading the APK, I clicked on it to install the update. Then exit out and reboot the phone.

Since then, it's been working fine and it still says V2.8 Premium.

Hopefully this helps with anyone who was having the same problem that I was.

From everything I have read, if it didn't recoginize your device you got the normal version, if it recognized it, you got premium. FWIW, I am not rooted, and it did not recognize it.

Also, when it did recognize your phone, was it the same apk file you got the first time?

Well, when I updated it, my phone was NOT recognized, and I got the Premium verison. And it works. My phone is NOT rooted.

(I see that Mike has uploaded the file, I am not feeling well right now, and it would not be easy for me this weekend. Thanks Mike!)

Yes, when it didn't recognize my phone, I got the Premium version. The screenshots are from then. Now that it recognized my phone, it's still the same version, and now it works. It seems that wiping and then installing and rebooting after that did the trick.
 
Update: It seems that if you try to download the update with Dolphin browser, you get the device not recognized. I used the stock browser and it recognized my phone.
 
Same thing -- worked once or twice after the update, then it just gave me a blank screen whenever I tried to open the program -- had to downgrade to 2.1. Boo.
 
I'm rooted running TTG 1.6 and did the OTA update. It didn't recognize my phone so I picked HTC Hero 2.8 from the list and installed it. Got the premium version and it is working fine. Used it several times yesterday on my way to/from Tahoe.
 
Fresh 1.1

I'm having even more problems now. I was browsing through my apps and noticed that Wireless tethering and spare parts were missing. Anyone else running Fresh notice that? I just ran the RUU on my phone to bring it back to stock and tried launching Sprint Nav and it said that it was unavailable. Maybe there is a problem on Sprints side? Oh well, I'm just gonna reroot and use Google maps from now on.
 
I just tried pulling up Sprint nav and it didn't work...tried a few minutes later and it worked....Go figure......Anyways...mine shows as V2.8 but doesn't say premium like on the pic above.....
 
This might be a stupid question, but I just switched to sprint like 2 weeks ago...
Is the Sprint navigation included with the family data plan, or is it an extra charge type thing?

Sprint Navigation is included with the family data plans. That is the plan my wife and I have and we both use Sprint Navigation.
 
Has anyone used the navigation since the update? I tried it yesterday and it was horrifically inaccurate. I never had any problems previously, but the new system doesn't even recognize the roads in my city..
