Seeing how latitude is part of the maps app, you could try to uninstall updates on the maps app and then update it through the market. You can also just try clearing data on your maps app. That may or may not fix it. I wouldn't try to uninstall maps or related services directly, as they are pretty tied into the phone. You are better off just restoring the whole phone if the other two options I gave don't work (but they should)

I think when I tried to uninstall Latitude, the Maps app went away. So I reinstalled Maps (and Latitude came back as well). I just ignore Latitude.

Personally, my pet peeve with Latitude is that if you accidentally set it as a default launcher, you can't undo that. I've tried going through App Management (clear defaults), tried "ClearDefault" app on the market, nothing works ...
I'm about to try uninstalling it with Titanium and hoping that reinstalling Maps will set everything back to the way it was so I can select the right laucher when I try to view someone's address directly from the People App.
Has anyone else had problems clearing the default data for Latitude/Locations?

Is it ok to delete google talk?

when i flash a rom I'm looking to delete bloatware.
I remember reading somewhere that Google Talk is tied to the apps that you download and built in Gmail, so probably not, though I can't confirm this...
I just uninstalled it via titanium backup... No problems with gmail so far.
Edit: for some reason, I wasn't able to restore talk using titanium backup. The restore option wasn't there
It is always running and am wondering if it's draining the battery.
Get autostarts from android store and disable it. But Ive read up about uninstalling it a week ago and it got mixed reactions.
Just turn it off....go in and choose settings...then uncheck auto start...the choose settings and sign out.

I don't think that keeps it from restarting. Everytime you reboot your phone, I believe it starts up google services and gtalk is one of them. That's why if you check running services, it will show it running when your phone is done booting.
I've never removed it because I do use it but when I set gtalk to not auto start it broke autosync in my google apps (gmail, market updates, etc.)
dont get rid of it, it has adverse affects on your market. just go into google talk and turn off auto sign in and then just sign out and never go back in... you need google talk service for the market to function properly.

[Q] Market not working correctly!?!?!?!

All of the sudden the other day I went to check the status of my apps in the market and to see if any needed to be updated and a strange screen appeared. It has my email address, which is the linked account, and underneath it says "Applications and games owned by this account will appear here." Underneath it has two buttons that say "Browse Apps" and "Browse Games". I've reinstalled the market apk and also reinstalled my current ROM. No luck with anything. Anyone have any ideas?
Hmmm maybe a bump will let people see this?
I know the market got another update to where you could have multiple accounts on the market maybe that had something to do with it.
Try to clear data and uninstall any updates through app manager.

Tried all of that and nothing. Hell, I even tried restoring a recent known good backup and the market still tanks on me. I've googled this and it seems a few others are having the same problem with no luck. We shall see.
*edit*
I just wiped and installed a DIFFERENT ROM and i'm still having the same issue. It starts out fine and then, poof, its back. I'm gonna reinstall again now and try reloading my TB backups one at a time instead of a batch restore. Maybe its a corrupt backup that making my Market wonky? I'm at a loss.

GPS Issue

Does anyone have a solution to fixing a broken GPS? It just keeps searching for a location but doesn't pick up anything
Very frustrating because that's what I mainly use my phone for. It just started doing this after I upgraded to 4.2 yesterday. I dropped my phone yesterday also so I don't know which one is the cause for my GPS issue. Thnx
Try one of the gps toolbox apps to calibrate and fix the agps data. Or try FasterGPS, which I think needs busybox, to set your location.

I had this same problem with connecting to google play. Here are the steps, goto apps, scroll tap 'ALL' apps, then:
Delete data on Google Services Framework
Delete data on Google Play Store
Sync your contacts
Delete your google account completely
then add your google account back in and sync your contacts
this will get you to back connected into google play store.
For GPS, go back into ACCOUNTS and click on google.
this is what I did, not sure the effects, but navigation now works:
Location -->turn ON (let google apps access your location)
Off course all my location settings was already turned on, but here's somewhere/something else that needs done.
I hope this helps...

Google search/now force closing?

So I have a google search widget on my home screen and when i try to look up something in the google search app and press enter on my keyboard it just force closes.
I also noticed that in the stock browser that the logo next to the address bad no longer shows the google icon.
Not sure what I did? I remember uninstalling "Clean Master" and "System Tuner" before it happened, but before I uninstalled it I restored the defaults on the system tuner app.
ALSO, I had google searched greenify'd so I converted it back into a system app.
please help!

Clear cache and data of Google search using the app manager in settings.
If that doesn't work, uninstall Google search entirely and reflash gapps.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

The first option didn't work, but uninstalling it and reininstalling it did! Thank, I was about to panic!

[Q] When in the playstore online it shows I have apps installed that I don't have

When I'm signed into my google account online and go to the playstore, it shows that certain apps are installed on my device. This is not accurate though.
Is there a way to delete all apps that I've ever installed from my account? I don't mind if I have to start over, thought I rather now create a new gmail account.
Any thoughts on this as I'm pretty puzzled.
And any old phone that I owned I factory reset before I sold.
Thank you

Check which apps are shown as installed but not on your app drawer. This is most likely you have disabled (frozen) the app. Go to your application manager and see if they are there or not.
You can remove all apps, but I don't think there's a 1-click way to do it. You can either uninstall them 1 by 1 or start from scratch (factory reset) and uncheck backup/restore in settings.
Thanks for the tip. This still doesn't help. What I did was go into my Play Store, delete every app that was just sitting there, apps that I had previously downloaded before on previous phones. I then restarted my phone, go back into the app store on a computer that I never downloaded anything on and it still shows that these apps are installed on my device, without the option to uninstall on the web on the computer.
I'd like to think I'm tech savvy but this one has me scratching my head.
well playstore does not have a feature to remove it from your account directly.
cnet had an article on it and it should have updated after you deleted the history of those apps . unless google changed something again.

Yeah that method no longer works.
