All of a sudden outta nowhere, Google maps has been force closing on me. I searched it on Google and there is a thread over in the Samsung vibrant forums where a lot of people are having the same issue. It was working fine yesterday. Can anyone else check and post your results?
google maps force close
I'm getting force close on google maps using dell streak today after about 10 seconds - cant get past the whats new in google maps screen
+1 on places app
[10char]
same here ... try uninstalling and reinstalling google maps. It has been working so far for me.
This is weird, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling and changing kernels, and it still is force closing. For some reason if I use WIFI it works fine, if I switch back to 3g, it force closes again...
Same here tried everything even flashing a new rom......
Yes. Really amazing to me that Google can put out updates that force close on their own platform.

I just got mine today. Non-rooted, 2.2 and it FC'd on me before and after the maps update. Sprint reinstalled software - no dice. Since others have it that gives me hope for a software patch and not an exchange.
Me too.
I really needed Maps for traffic today. First I started getting "failed to login." Then I started getting FCs. I was on Fresh 3.0. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Maps. I was still getting FCs. I flashed to Fresh 3.1.0.2. I'm getting "failed to login," again. I hope Google puts a patch out.
Looks like they fixed it. Atleast its working for me now.....
I am in Southern California and not only had the F/C with Google all day but also had my phone reboot about 10 times while trying to use either Google or Sprint Navigation. I thought it was my phone as I have had this happen before. It would happen when I would turn the GPS on. Not sure what the cause is, and I am thinking it maybe time to fully root my phone and move to a different Rom. I am just running stock with the fist version of Unrevoked that ever came out.
I got the latitude list open before one of the force closes. after that it worked again

i thought mine was F/C because i was not connected to the data network. to save battery i turn off 3g manually and thats when Gmaps would close on me, then i turned back data and it worked flawlessly.
Same

Yup, I did exactly that, uninstall then reinstall Google Maps after encountering FCs out of the blue yesterday, and now no more FCs.
I'm referring to the inability to sign in to Google Talk or download Market apps when connected via the Sprint network, as described here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815345
To summarize... When connected using Sprint 3G, I often get these problems
- Can't sign in to Google Talk (I get the message "Cannot connect to server, will retry shortly"
- Can't download or update apps (I get stuck on "Starting Download...")
- Other internet features work OK
- Switching to Wifi solves the problem
no problems at all for me
why is this here ?? should be in
Q&A
and no im not
Yeah just started today though?

Not as much problems as you're having posting in the right section.
BOOOOOO-YAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
lol......j/k.....I couldn't help it. To answer your question: No, I haven't. All my rom/kernel/software info is in the sig. I've had an update/download hang on "starting download" before, but I'll just cancel the download and restart it and that usually fixes the hiccup. If not, it's nothing a quick reboot won't fix. Try clearing the data and cache from the market app.
P.S. If switching to WiFi solves the issue, it could be poor reception that is causing the said problems to happen. I get very poor 3G reception in the building I work in, and many things have problems working when I'm not on WiFi.
I have this problem as well. If you do find a solution, let us know! I've had this problem for a while now but could not pinpoint when it began. I know I didn't have this problem on 2.1 though. Definitely not due to weak signal (Chicago).

Were you running 2.1 on the same device?
And, I'm guessing you were rooted both with 2.1 and 2.2, right?

omg.. classic response. job well done sir. i am still laughing.
+1 on the advice too
uninstalling the market update usually solves the problem for good. Ive noticed it on hybrid fr83/91 roms as well
rooted with fresh and kingkernel 10 and have had apps hanging after downloading and wont install/update...
I had those problems for a while a couple days ago. They said it was a network problem. It resolved after about 8 hours.
No problems here. Using 135 nightly.

I was having no problems at all for a while but yesterday market downloads over wifi no longer work for me. Everything downloads fine over 3G just not wifi. Weird. If anybody knows how to fix this I would be eternally grateful.

Go under applications and clear data for vending...sometimes files get crossed. Will fix market problem
I don't have anything called vending in applications
this is a known problem and has been for months....
usually if you uninstall the market updagte the problem goes away for good.
also try a non hybrid rom thats not based on fr83/91
fresh, evervolv, cm, evo nonsense work
I've had this exact problem for a while now. Its incredibly annoying. What usually works for me is stopping both talk and market then clearing the date and doing the same with the HTC_checkin service.
This usually lets me download the app but not always. I haven't tried uninstalling market updates, will that remove any features like the search prediction and such?

I was having the problem with Fresh too. I just installed the new stock deodexed 3.30.651.2 ROM, and I'm STILL experiencing the issue. Very annoying!
a friend and i are having the same problem except she never has a problem connecting to gchat. but when shes not signed in it she's not able to download apps from the market place.
me on the other hand there are times when i cant sign on gtalk at all, i'd either have to restart the phone or switch to wifi like the op said. oh and i'm also unable to download apps when i'm not signed in gchat.
this gets especially annoying when i'm in a middle of a conversation in gchat and i lose connection and cant log back on! and i hate using 3rd party messengers since there arent any good ones out! but trillian is starting to creep up on me.
oh i'm also rooted with fresh
Well don't know if anyone else has seen this, but out of nowhere Google Maps started force closing on me every time I press the current location button. I did a factory restore to EL29 and it was still happening, I can't imagine what might be causing this.
Anyways, I started installing old versions of Google Maps to try to get it working again, all v5 and v6 apks were force closing, the latest version that is working fine for me is 4.7.0
Here is the link if anyone is having the same issue:
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1289878895_Google_Maps_4.7.0.apk
Had same problem. Downloaded map helped to solve it.
SOLVED for me!
Had the same issue, and this worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467313
Iv been getting the same problem for the last 3 days!! Driving me nuts...Im on Calk's EL29 rom and have wiped/restored 1x, wiped cache/dalvik numerous times and have 'fixed permissions' from within CWM too...nothin will fix it. Even giong back to old versions of maps workes for like 3 minutes, then it will slow down or freeze.....
Any ideas what to do? u guys getting this problem too?
Snazarian- sounds like it might be a different issue for you. Did you try the download I posted in op?
Did notice that all my friends in Houston have this issue with their different Androids and its on my Transformer so it must be something wrong with the map in houston

Snake, I downloaded ur version but havent tried it yet. I dont think its location-centric, i think its something with the 2 latest updates pullin in too much data or erroneous data and crashing most phones.
Something that worked, download Sysctl from the market, change the VM size to 4096 or higher. THat somehow relieved the bottleneck in the phone and it works now with the latest version of maps....im thinking google will have to fix this in a new release soon...the problem is on their end..
I only say its location related because no one on this forum has the problem but the people I have talked to in Houston with different android phones all have it and it happens on my transformer

My s3 is rooted, and I'm currently running the people's Rom. Since I loaded the this particular Rom, I haven't been able to get telnav to work. I tried clearing data, deleting and reinstalling from Sprint zone, I even read somewhere that getting rid of Google voice might solve the problem, so l did that and still no joy. It starts up and then the screen goes black and white down, no fc notice. Anybody have a fix for this? It worked fine on jelly bomb Rom and freegs3. I'm beginning to think it's something with the Rom.

I recently flashed the Jellybean RC3 rom and noticed some issues.
Chrome causes my phone to do an automatic restart and I can't find a way around it.
It tends to lag in terms of responding to clicks or movements.
And the big issue for me is that the Play Music app (Google) continues telling me "Music temporarily unavailable Couldn't play the stream you requested." Before I flashed this rom, I had no issues using the app and now I continue to receive these errors.
Does anyone know what could be causing these issues and how to fix them?
Update: I just tried with the Tiny CM10 and it is the same issue.
It worked fine before flashing to these roms. Any idea why that would be?
This is a known bug launching chrome from the dock. Either launch it from your desktop, or another workaround apparently is to put it in a folder in the dock.
I had RC3 for a while, then switch over to CM10. Everything seemed to be a lot more stable, but Chrome also does weird stuff on CM10 as well. Never could get it to work normally on my DINC

I don't like chrome even on the galaxy nexus. Slower and buggy to me. I used to but stock is better.

Chrome wouldn't even start on my Incredible with the RC3 ROM. I would advise using the stock browser until Albinoman works out all the kinks (although the work he's done so far is awesome!). I've also had connection errors before, primarily in the Play Store, retrying a few times seems to work. I always use Wi-Fi and haven't tried cellular data so I can't help you there if you're using 3G to stream.

Maybe something to do with your Android ID changing when flashing these newer ROMs? Though that usually shows itself in problems downloading stuff from the Play Store... but you may need to clear data on the Google Music app, also maybe clearing data on the Play Store may help too.

The main reason I dislike Chrome is because of the space it takes up. It eats up over 30Mb of app data, which on our Dincs is stored in the 150Mb datadata partition. So if you have a reasonable number of apps installed, it's very likely that Chrome will fail to install properly due to there not being enough space to install its data, and it will fail complaining that "your phone lacks functionality critical for running Chrome." In reality, the problem is that Chrome is just too bloated to fit on the limited partitions in our dincs.
(flashing the etx4all nodatalimit mod solves this issue, as does moving all possible apps to the sdcard, but IMHO Chrome is not nearly worth going to all that bother.)
