Damn it.
So what are we supposed to do? Wait another 6 month for a fix from Maction?
Knowing M3 Asia, it will take them a very long time to release an update / a fix.

I paid RM97 & this is what I get.

Unfortunately, the FC not only happen to Android based Papago M9, the FC also happens on Papago x8.5 (Windows CE) users.

Sigh, should've waited for the pirated version to be released, at least with that I wouldn't lose any money paying for something that doesn't work.

I thought G Note should work well.
i dont think 4.0 can fixed the issue. i had tried my stock to upgrade 4.0.3 , but still force closed.
I think need adjustment from Maction side, not the device

Nope, it only works for a few minutes, then force close.
Sometimes can last about 1 hour before it force close again.

My previous ICS idea is just a thought, I was hoping ICS could fix the issue but after 2 replies saying ICS doesn't help M9 at all, then this is going from bad to worse.

m3gps in MFM said they've tested on their Samsung devices, but how they run their test I also don't understand, if they did test thoroughly on Samsung devices, why are there so many reports on M9 force close in this forum and MFM itself?

u can try install on internal memory or external memory. see which can work well.
abit worst, we order 100pcs but force close issue..
look like their motive only to get sales during pc fair.

i was on rocket rom 17 when i experienced FC's on my note.
i swapped to rocket 23 now and all is good. didnt even FC once.
but then i tweaked so much in rocket 23 until i forgot which kernel i struck in and what i did with angry gps.
either way, m9 is working for me on my galaxy note without FC's and that's all that matters to me. So much better than when i was on rocket rom 17. FC non stop every few hundred meters. made me miss quite a lot of turnings.

I thought Papago M9 won't work if install in MicroSD?
Last time when I'm using Galaxy S2, I was not able to run Papago X5 from MicroSD. Papago X5 will only run if I install from internal memory.

Haven't tried with M9 though.You got a point there. Until now, M9 is still avaialble in M3Asia's website.
With all this problem, M3Asia should've taken out M9 from their website until the problem has been fixed.
With the problem still being around, more people is going to be frustated with the FC problem.That defeats the purpose of paying RM99 for a software that has to run on custom ROM to work properly.

wow...wanted to get for my One X but luckily didn't...so many problems plus the price (with non transferable license) is just killing the software. no wonder everyone is turning to the pirated version.

Following upcar's advise, I rooted my G Note and now downloading Rocket V22 & V23.
Will test & update here if what upcar said about G Note on Rocket v23 doesn't have any FC for Papago M9 is true or false.

Will be flashing my G Note once the battery is full. Downloading the ROM is going to take some time anyway.
I'm on UNiFi VIP 10, but still it take some time to complete the download for both ROMs.

By the way upcar, you install M9 in internal memory or in MicroSD?

tai lou ah, the gnote i buy is RM2299 la. use custom rom better than stock rom also defeated my purpose of buying the note right ? how cna say until liddis. happy can liao la. like some ppl happy with stock rom, but i happier with custom rom ma.

i use rocket 23 but abyss kernel or fm kernel. i forgot which 1. but its not the stock 1 that came with rocket 23.
m9 i put inside internel memory. now left back about 100+mb in internel memory. i dun have microsd kad coz is quite expensive. i saving up for a class 10 64gb for my d90.

Wow, looks like got a lot of problems. I'll be sticking to Sygic for now then. Thanks for the feedback guys.

I didn't say it's wrong to use custom ROM.
I said it defeats the purpose of paying RM99 for the software but then we as the customers have to use custom ROM in order to run the M9 correctly without FC.

You misunderstood what I'm trying to say.

Some of us may have the bravery & the knowledge to root and flash our devices, but what about those who doesn't know?
Do all of them have to flash their phone too?
What about those people who love their phone too much to root their phone? Believe me, there are that type of people out there.

I'm not putting the blame on you, I'm putting the blame on M3 and whoever engineered & tested the software without doing a completely thorough check.

Can you check which kernel you're using right now?
I believe you know where to check.

Right now I'm on Franco kernel. The stock kernel that came with Rocket v23.

can. i reach home about 9pm later. now battery dead and no charger. my whole office ppl here is iphone4 and iphone 4s ppl.
only me and another girl is use samsung and nokia but she gone home early today and lock her desk.

i confirm not using stock rocket 23 kernel because i face many issue with it last time. especially during when use set cpu. so i swap the kernel to either abyss or fm.

Alright, do post here or PM me what kind of kernel you're using right now on your G Note.

Thanks.

Wow M9 on Galaxy Nexus is totally unusable. Constant crashes, laggy and shrink-ed down UI. The keyboard input is still laggy as hell, thought they would've fixed it in this version.

Still having FC even after using Rocket v23, although not as much as when I'm using stock ROM.
The FC happens when there's too much rerouting.

what is the differnet between both custom rom ?

micro sd can installl, u can try. i see their support list, some hp have to install at ext just can run.

RM99 / 12 months / 30 days. worth la. like one month one movie ticket..

Sygic POI and Road Search SUXK. when i using it i remember back the 3D version of Mapking software... but Mapking better than Sygic still.

UpCar, still waiting for that kernel you promised.

It's worth it if it's transferable. But it's not.

at times like this I really miss my 4S with Papago M8.2.2
