This one is really haunting me :)

It was solved, then now, again, I cannot geocode anymore. It does not matter if on (good) wi-fi or 3G, I can't find even super simple queries as "Madrid".



Perhaps a more detailed string than "error geocoding!" could help to debug what is the cause of this?



Thanks so much!

Hi;



google geocoding has a bug that requires a phone restart to recover.



OM can not give mor info about the error, because android does not gives more info.

Good to know, thanks.



Suggestion: maybe you should put a notice like "because of a google bug a restart  could be required for geocoding to work".



I can geocoding from within google maps anyways... It must be a different api.

Thanks

Sure they use a different api, they are the owners and have all the control :)



This problem only happens in some android versions, most of the errors should be a different cause, I do not want users to restart their phone to try again,...

Will it ever be possible to geocode using an offline source of names?

Bump. What about an osm offline search for localities? Would be technically hard to implement, or the size of the database too big? Thanks!
