I am using locationListener with Gps.When my Gps symbol gets stable(i.e stop blinking) means it has got the new location ,at that time it hangs my app for a while.I am using locationListener in Service.But when I run “Maps” application(google maps.apk application) it runs smoothly on Gps.so Whats is the problem whit my app that runs very smoothly if Gps is off.
My Code is here

Finaly I got the solution of my problem.I was doing Geo coding frequently but not in a different thread.So I did this(Did Geo coding in a new Thread)
