constant "Use My Location" request??? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

something really really strange has happened to my epic....
just a couple of hours ago, any time i type to search for something or if i select the search button, i get prompted to "Use My Location" "Do you want to allow Google to use location for improved search results and other services?"
doesn't matter if i select Agree or Disagree....i'm stuck in a loop to keep answering the question...
if i hit Home, the Task Manager i see "Google Search" and "Google Services Framework" runing...
i've never seen this before or how to fix it...
i've rebooted, updated my prl and profile, airplane mode on/off....i've given acces to Use Wirless Networks from within Location and Security but it doesn't help....
i haven't instaled anything new after flashing to 1.02 Syndicate rom last night...
i'm unable to use my phone and it's driving me nuts.... any suggestions?
thanks

Moved to Q&A Do you have an app called root explorer?

If you go to settings, location and security, uncheck use wireless networks... see if that helps

wireless network is currently unchecked and it didn't help....also have same problem with it checked....

Ok. Go into data/app. Find the apk called googlequicksearchbox.apk. Move it to system/app, and delete anything else having to do with search from data/app, and then reboot. This should fix it.

wow...i don't have that apk....
in the data/app folder there is nothing called "googlequicksearchbox.apk" and there is no other apk in that folder with "search" in the apk folder as well....
in the system/app, i do see the "googlequicksearchbox.apk" as well as "googleservicesframework.apk"

Ok, try this then. Delete that app from system/app. Make sure you have no more google search functionality. Then, download google search from the market, and move it from data/app to system/app

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, says i have insufficient permissions to delete the google search apk from the folder....
what the heck...lol

Try clearing data in Google Framework in "manage applications".

it
finally
worked
i did it 3 times and it finally took..... i need a beer...
thank you for your help....

I had the same problem and clearing data on google framework worked for me too.
Thanks!

well, it happened again.... and this time along with constant messages of Swype, Messeging and Google Framework FC errors....
maybe i have a bad flashed rom....this is odd...
will try to reflash the Syndicate 1.02 rom now...

also got an android.acore fc error as well....never saw that one before...
anyway, i rebooted into clockwork and ran the wipe cache command....that seems to have stopped the errors...
what do you guys think? reflash the syndicate rom? wondering why this is happening now....not doing anything out of the ordinary in using the phone...
thanks!

Sounds like there is a bit of corrupted data somewhere. Have you been booting normally without a battery pull? If it reoccurs you might try a data factory reset and restore only data you absolutely need. Reflashing may work if you do all the wipes before hand.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

yes, regular reboots without batt pulls...
and so the errors all came back again!!!....so i booted into cw, wiped the cache 3x and reflashed the rom....
it's been stable for a while now, hopefully this is it.....if it happens again, then yes, i will have to wipe it out and reinstall rom and apps from scratch...
yea, something definitly got corrupt...wish i could figure out what i may have done to cause it...

[Q] running EF02 with Urban ROM, uninstall app ?

Okay so I tried to post in Urban Inception thread but since I only lurk and flash I can't LOL
so here's the deal. I have the latest purple recovery, EF02 and EF02 modem, I flashed urban, and then flashed his add on
I cannot uninstall preloaded apps. This is my first gingerbread so I don't know if there are drastic differences, but I typically use root explorer and move the apps in question to a different folder on my SD card to back up, or just delete. simple as that.
so I did this to some of the add ons/rom apps, and they stay in the app drawer, and market, installed apps. but are not in system/app or data/app....I did even look in data/data thinking maybe it doesn't clean up after itself but even after deleting left overs its still shows
any suggestions?
Is there any way to lift the block on my account so I can post in Dev forum. I'm not a Dev wiz but I've been testing Rom/kernels since my moment on SDX and had switched over here since I got my Epic, Gtab (sweet!) and daughters intercept because there is better community support.I might ooooops with a duh question here and there but I typically have some common sense about posting "How do I turn on my phone????" in the Dev forum
thanks in advance

the apps should be in /system/app/ or /data/app/ and you should be able to remove them with root explorer just remember to remount writable before you go to move/erase one of them.
and to post in the development section i believe you need atleast 10 posts
thanks I did do that actually, it's usually the first thing I do, like I wrote above. I either move them (take them out of system/app or data/app) to make a back up at the same time (before there were so many flashable restore zips lol....or just straight up delete them
I did do that and they still show in app drawer, installed apps and market, they show with that generic icon, they do not show in system app....they are executable and don't update from market with you try but show up none the less....I was assuming it was rom specific, which is why i wanted to post there.
I don't know if it was something written into the add on pack offer by the rom developer (compkid?)
but thank you for responding, oh and yes i was mounted R/W it wouldn't have deleted from system otherwise...werid there's a trace left???? grrrrrrr just driving me nuts

I have noticed that I have had to delete the apps from system/apps folder and data/data folders. Try looking that folder as well and see if the apps are showing in there.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
yes I did delete from both. I did notice also that some were located in both
so when i look at settings>applications> manage, they are still listed, as com.....etc
and grayed out, and sd symbol...when i click on them, all options (uninstall, clear data, force stop) are blacked out
I looked on my sd card and they are not in .secure, android/data etc
I ran the terminal and ls'ed /mnt/asec and they are not there either
so here's only thing i can think of: when I ls -l system/app all the system apps have rw-r--r--
i can write to it, ie copy and paste via rootexplore but is it not letting me execute install???
so should i chmod...only thing is I can't chmod system/app recursively??? keeps saying bad mode like it's not recognizing "-R"
maybe I'm off and the permission have nothing to do with it
thanks for the suggestions so far, if anyone else has an idea or knows about the permissions and whether that's what's going on let me know
or where those are hiding, it says sd in the app list but i couldn't find it anywhere and I didn't notice any sdext partition
so got it????
I went back to stock, fresh clean odin, odined purple CWM, flashed Kernelplus EF02, 3x wipe, flashed urban again, this time I DID NOT do the add on and it's been fine, doing nothing diff than usual and when i delete an app from system or data, it's gone from app list, market,
so I don't know what's going on with that compkid addon zip but the only thing i did different this time was not flash that and everything is behaving normally
If you make changes to the system, clearing the dalvic cache and fixing permissions should help clear the remnants of removed apps.
Sent from the Odyssey
I want to make sure I have this right. You deleted the apks from both folders, did a reboot and the apps were still there? Or did you just delete from the two folders and not reboot before checking if they were still there?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Sometimes if u reboot the go away also.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
oh trust me i rebooted...they were not in the folders (system, or data), but still in the app list (settings, applications, manage apps) and market and appbrain still tried to update
in manage applications it showed them as greyed out, and when i clicked on that all options (clear data, uninstall, froce stop etc) were blacked out and unclickable
this time around i did all things the same (ef02 from odin, flash CWM purple, su.zip, 3x data wipe UI ROM) except installing that add on package of extra apps and I no problem deleting anything from system after installing urban inception Rom...added a theme and still no problem modifying
weird huh, I haven't opened the zip, and to be honest I can follow it but I'm not a dev so i wouldn't necessarily recognize anything
Ok, compkid is big on his icons and themes. Check these three spots with Root Explorer or something like it: system/app, data/app, and data/data folders. The third was the last spot I found some things left to delete. I think that should take care of any leftover files that are keeping them from disappearing but in the OP Compkid does suggest using 7zip to delete unwanted apps before flashing the folder. Hope that may help

any idea why those grayed out icons would have a tiny sd (sd card im assuming) in corner...they were the ones that came with the addon, not user installed. I did peek in data/data but theres a good chance i missed something. I also for kicks checked everywhere in my sdcard like i mentioned earlier...just never seen an app left like that with an sd on the blank icon
issues resolved as far as my phone but i have this need to know issue haha
i should have gone through first, i did notice that but i was being lazy i guess

You have got me there. I haven't run across that before. Did you possibly move apps to SD or is that an indicator of such since they are saved to SD? Not sure on that one..just some possibilities. Maybe someone else has some ideas???
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
well i didn't move those over for sure, it was es file explorer, twitter (maybe), facebook (maybe), samsung app store (another maybe) i was looking at so many things in half a day, having not been on xda in awhile, catching up on all the gingerbread leak stuff and new CWM and trying to make sure i read through everything before playing that i can't remember all of the apps exactly (one smack for not writing it down), but i remember specifically one was es file explorer
i've never seen that either, with the green/white square icon, and all the menus blacked out when i click it....never seen that ...haha I'd love it if someone knew so i wouldn't have to sit here pretending I'm not still annoyed in the back of my mind, wonder if i could ever find happy gilmore's "happy place" instead of little green and white icons
So if you long press on those Android boxes that used to be apps and hold them over the trash can you can't uninstall them? I use Zeam Launcher and that's an option on there. What launcher are you using? It sounds like you are close to where you want to be now...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
i can delete them off the desktop fine, but they are still in the system someplace...the app manager still shows them there...those icons show in drawer, in app list and in market update however the update was unsuccessful...the app manager shows them in the list when i click on them, you can't do anything, every option (uninstall, clear data, move, force stop) is blacked out and not clickable
sure i can delete the icon but it's still tucked away somehow,
also like i said earlier, something else was buggy where i couldn't drop apps, in the system/app folder to install (YES I clicked R/W)....i couldn't re install via rootexplorer even the ones that came with add on....i've used many roms since i got my moment and 2.1 came out and then began my flashing addiction and i've always been able to click and install, it might prompt me that it's already install do i want to proceed, but would install over the other and complete successfully....every time it said install unsuccessful.

Market not installing

I've tried placing vending.apk into system/app and then restarting then installing the zip from the sd card, but the market just force closes anyway?... the new market (3.0.26 or something) force closes after i press yes in the prompt to log in with an account.
Would love to have a solution, thank you...

There is a zip version in the gingervillain thread (development) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880465&page=979. You could try this one and delete the dalvic cache before flashing it.

Probably an incopatible Vending.apk. If you're sure it;s compatible, deleted the dex from /data/dalvik-cache, and try again. Or use the wipe data option.
how do i tell if an app is compatible? sorry kind of noob at this
i tried flashing that zip andd it gave me an ok in the recovery but when i rebooted it was nowhere to be found..
also should i switch to the stock rom (my friend told me gingerbread for desire is out?) and how exactly do i uninstall any rom to install another? i tried to do one last time and a bootloop scared the hell out of me

Market app (v3.1.5) force close

ROM: Cyanogenmod-7-09192011-NIGHTLY-Desire
Market version: 3.1.5
Every time I start market it works perfectly 4-5 seconds, and than I get message "The application Market (proces com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly." And "force close" option.
I had no problem with market v2.
New market doesn't like my 5MB cache partition, even though its bound to data. The logcat shows this

Works fine so far on my device running oxygen 2.2.2 and oxygen r2 hboot. No problem downloading even with bigger files.
But like mentioned before it's totally not useable under slow connections, so back to version 2 for now.
I figured out that version 3.1.3 is working normally and version 3.1.5 not.
I unistalled updates to v2 but few minutes later it has been auto updated do 3.1.5 again.
Remove MarketUpdater.apk from /system/app. But make a backup before, just in case. Or are you on stock rom?
This same thing is happening to my wife's Desire. I have her on cm7 RC1 and AlphaRev's modified partition sizes. I can't remember if I had her cache size reduced or not.
Anyone find a solution for this yet?

You could try making an expandable ramdisk for cache. Im going to try this again when I get chance.

on cm7 with 5mb cache partition it works..so i dont think its a problem with the cache..
maybe some crap market data somewhere in the rom..to make a clean thing, u should remove at all the market from ur system..reboot couple of times (without market, so the market data should be deleted) then push the new market in system and i wuould say it should work for sure

Ok, that's good to hear. I hate having to do system critical stuff to her phone cause my luck tends to bricks things time to time, and if it's my phone then no big deal, I can take the time to fix it. But when it's hers.... well, you know. Took me long enough to convince her to let me flash cm7.
I'll try to do your suggestion and I'll report back.

Its definitely something to do with cache.
Code:
purchase to PURCHASE_COMPLETED, the tickle was faster.

17:36:17.625 Debug AndroidRuntime 1164 Shutting down VM
But what can market data do to cache?
of course u should have the /cache/download symlinked to /data/..somewhere..i dont have that error..do u have that symlink?
EDIT: btw i found statfs errno = 13 mean permission denied..so it fails to execute the statfs command..are the permissions correct for the /cache/download/? Maybe the new market do some additional checks

Its a bind rather than simlink, but yes, same script as CM now use. It happens both with and without. I'll have a look at that though...
EDIT - Changed from rwxrwx--x to rwxrwxrwx, reboot, no change.
So I had the market 3.1.5 force closing all over me with a desire with cm7.0.2 so I went googleing and found a weird solution. Go to 'Settings > Language & keyboard > Language' and select 'English (US)'. If already selected, select it again. Works like a charm now.

The .nomedia file is on the root of you sdcard, so you're half right. Might want to try looking at it through your computer because not all file explorers can see hidden files.

When you open it, hit menu, then settings, then "show hidden files".
Now hit menu then exit. Then open it again.
Just scroll down until you see random files. Should be near the bottom.
Delete the .nomedia file.
Now go to settings>apps>all and find "media storage.

I started seeing people talking about the continuous charging symbol yesterday. You should probably check in the ROM's thread to see if there's a fix. I don't wan to say it's the ROM without knowing. Glad your media's back though.

definitely already am thanks again
No problem.

Some things saying "Insufficient space" to install but NOT for everything

Be it an apk from my sd card or from google play. It doesn't matter what size it is. Some will install fine some will claim i need to free up space.
And i have 1.1gb free + link2sd linking bigger files to my sd card.
Why would some things not install?
*edit
sitting at 1.9gb free
just deleted backup apks and rebooted and still no go.

Disabling or un-installing? If not the same what is just disabling? Cause wouldn't that stop the other apps that are linked not to work?
It's also doing this on some (still random and not all) updates too :/
Just unlinked all apps and uninstalled Link2Sd and rebooted. Nothing has changed.
I really dont want to flash a new rom... AGAIN

And my original is a SGH-M919
So this seriously has to be the issue or maybe the kernel?

The modded play store could be messing with it. Especially if Google Play tries to update itself (which is does without telling you) might even mess with the edits. You would have to get a logcat when you try to install something that says there's not enough storage space. The package manager should throw some sort of code to let us know whats going on.

Tried to install logcat and it gave me the same error lol
This happens when you have a corrupt data Dir for the app.
Use Root Explorer or something similar, and go to data/data and look for the app folder that is giving you the error message and delete the app folder.
You should be able to reinstall the app.

Thanks but there is no folder in relation to this app. And I get the same error when trying fresh apps never before installed. Its very very random to even the size, which leans towards smaller sized.

Stuff isn't installed to the system. Your apps are installed to the /data so it doesn't matter how much free space is in /system.
