This is from earlier today:
My guy doesn't want to walk. Also ran into a freezing issue last night game wise too when it was starting up. Could hear the music, see the screen and stuff, but the white Pokeball froze and the map didn't load.
Their servers are such crap.
Trying a fix/workaround to see if I can get my guy moving again.
So far so good. My guy is moving again. Did 20 laps.
Tonight:
Still running into loading issues. Took me three times to be able to get on at a gym/Poke Stop. First two times the game froze and the map wouldn't load. And my guy (during all three times) wouldn't walk. Not good.
Going to make sure to delete and redownload Google maps updates before heading out on community day to try to be sure that my guy can/will walk. (Can't afford to do this elsewhere though since it would use up my cellular data.)
I hope that I don't run into this problem during community day. It would suck.
Wondering if the loading issues and/or walking issues has to do with receiving friend's requests, gifts and general messages.
Got some items, gifts and also fought against a Blissey. Did pretty well against it with my Rhydon.
