Anyone else seeing Google Maps FC a lot lately? It seems to be related to finding my location (either in Latitude or Maps itself). Sometimes the map tiles won't get drawn, other times it just force closes.
Seeing this on mine (GSM) and my GF's VZW version.
Nop but have you tried clearing the app cache?
Galaxy Nexus Stock + Franco m3
YES! this happens with me too lately! dunno why!
SOLVED for me!
Had the same issue, and this worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1467313
I was experiencing the same thing and chalked it up to a bug so I uninstalled Maps updates and have been refusing to update until a new version comes out.
The fix permissions thing, I feel like that could be risky... I guess I could take a nandroid backup first and then try it.
I am having this problem and I just bought my GSM Nexus from Play Store... Whats wrong with Maps app? Keeps force closing...
STOCK. Not rooted.
Cleared cache and settings in Settings > Apps > Clear.
Still force closing.. What the ??

And the problem continues to this day. I almost wanted to start a new thread, until I stumbled upon this one.
Stock Jellybean JRO03C, rooted, slightly themed (to get rid of gradient background). Maps is at 6.9.2 as shipped with the image, and have not had an update since.
Maps keeps force closing every few hours even when I'm in other apps and have not started Maps myself. FC reports says it's an out of memory exception. This only started after I upgraded to JB; it was fine on all versions of ICS, even when rooted.
I had this issue upgrading from 4.2 to .4 uninstalling the map updates did the trick

Unfortunately I don't have an update I can uninstall.
I have for now restricted it from doing background data and see what happens. Next - block it off using Droidwall; still next - disable it outright...

No one?
DIsabling Maps still doesn't stop it from crashing behind the scenes. :crying:
Sorry this problem is months old. Haven't had it since the update that fixed it.

First it was ilomilo, now Flixster. An update shows available, appears to download fine, then it just seems to abort and nothing happens. The app then continues to show update available. And if I retry the status goes from Pending to Installing, but the progress bar never moves and the app never updates.
Tried everything short of a factory reset, and the only solution seems to be to uninstall the app completely and reinstall.
Is there another fix? Some apps have still updated fine.

i have had the problem for a while now.... theres some games as well
When it happens to me, and it has happened about 3 times now, I delete the app and then reinstall it.

This bug happened when a developer update the app, and change the name of this app. For example, surfcube browser is update to 1.2 and the developerschange the name of the app in surfcube 3d browser.
i have the same bug!!

I have only noticed this will trial versions of apps. If you have a trial app, then you have to uninstall and re-download to update it. As for ilomilo and some other games, you have to use Wi-Fi to download the game. There is a file size limit(don't know what it is) but that was the only way I could get Harvest, Earth Worm Jim, and the Ilomilo update from my phone.
Try deleting the market cache. That's resolved that issues for me on the few occasions it has popped up.

Yeah, I have only noticed this when using trial apps as well so I think that's the problem. Maybe its Microsoft's idea of making you want to buy the app as the trial version update procedure is annoying lol

It's happened with free apps also.
Being unable to update to update trial apps is quite a well documented bug with the marketplace and is going to be fixed
this issue can be solved by uninstalling and re-installing the app.

You are speaking of android market - wrong forum
Sent from my Bionix powered Vibrant
Did a search but didn't find anything useful.
Recently my apps have been un-installed without me knowing anything about it. The only thing I can think of is I've updated to the NEW android market and Go Launcher ex. This problem started happening soon after these two updates, so I uninstalled the market update and I'll see if it's still a problem.
Anyone else experience this problem?
Btw, I'm on StarBurst v1.8 (didn't have this problem, just recently after market and launcher update)... then again it could be anything???
One of those apps happen to be wireless tether or something similar?

Yes! (WiFi Tethering by OpenGarden, Inc) ... ?
Update: I un-installed android market update and to my surprise, my old apps started showing up again...wtf? (before I couldn't find them anywhere, app drawer and application management, now they're back everywhere...lol weird).
About that wifi-tether...?
I've been having the same problem, and I'm not even rooted yet. Oh well...

I have go launcher and the new market as well, and sometimes in my folders an icon will turn generic but still work, sometimes will be generic and say application not installed, check the manage apps page and sure enough they arent listed. reboot the phone and they are usually there. Im gonna go back to the older market and then see if it fixes (one of) my problems...
Took me quite some time to figure this one out, thought I should post it here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
When I updated to Android 4.1.2, I noticed that my Google Navigation stopped working. It would simply sit there endlessly "Waiting for location..." Fortunately, there's a simple fix:
1. Go to "Settings > Accounts > Google > Location Settings".
2. Flip the switch to "On" (I found this was off in my case).
3. Try Google Navigation again, it should work fine.
I'm not sure why Google decided to break up the location settings into two different places like this, but it's a bit silly IMO as it's definitely going to catch some people out.
You probably cleared the Google Services Framework at some point. When you do that, it disables location services.
Makes sense. It's still a good thing to let people know about it.
It's good to know that I wasn't the only one with this issue factory reset did the thing for me.
I have a different issue
hi
My issue is different.
After the update I am not able to download updates from Google play.
It tells me that the connection to the server has been timed out.
|I cleared the Cache of Google play, but did not helped.
Any ideas?
The issue with GPS was present on update from ics to jb as well and also on 4.0 to 4.0.x and fix was the same as you described it switch on and off location service

In my case it was actually that the location service for Google apps was switched off by default after the update. I didn't need to cycle it or anything, just simply switch it on.

Not sure how to fix that. Are you sure you have an internet connection on your phone? You might need to use the "Clear Data" option, rather than just "Clear Cache".
Hey, man, thanks a lot, I've been banging my head for 6 hours until I found your post. I was minutes away from resetting my phone to factory defaults. You saved me a lot of trouble. Kudos to you!
Thanks for the heads up on this!
Thanks
I too had emptied the google apps framework for the update to 4.2.1 on the galaxy nexus, this helped me out. Thanks!
Awesome
It worked for me in a Galaxy S3 i9300. Thank you so much!
Does anyone have this issue? After about 60hrs of reboot Google Now just stops to display any cards and it is just blank with the google searchbar on top...
I have Google Now enabled and never had this issue before. Tried clearing cache and app data and that doesn't fix the issue. Only reboot helps. This is annoying. Any help is appreciated. I am running stock Android 4.3 (no root).
Thank you!

Ive had this happen before. I dont really know what causes it, it just fixes itself usually. I did, however, find that at one point I had both of my devices with Google Now and they had different settings enabled and it was messing up what was shown. That was a while ago and I think the settings sync now. But you never know. If you have two devices, try that. Also, you can try to clear the data for the app and see if it fixes it.
I have tried clearing the app data and that didn't do much. Still having the issue. I will check the settings on my tablet for Google Now, maybe you are right and this is what causes my problems. Thanks for the idea-will give it a try.
It's generally "normal" I think.
I really wish Google would give us more control over Now... Soon?

I'm also experiencing this "issue". I use Galaxy Note II and CarbonRom 1.8 here. Decided to search Google for this and found this thread.
I thought it was due to a lot of ROM flashing I was doing here, so maybe it eventually messed up my Google account info on servers and made my Google Now became empty some times, but I realized that probably it's some technical difficulties on Google Now server itself, since it's happening with more people.
Let's hope for an update to solve this. It's pretty annoying!

Did this issue get resolved for you? I have found the problem and I temporary fix.
The issue is related to the new Google play services 3.2..they changed location to use wifi as Android 4.3 has it on at all times.. This is to save power from using GpS.. Anyway if your not running 4.3 and have wifi on all the time your location based cards will not work...
The solution, downgrade to Google play services 3.1 Everything works great on 3.1..

This issue got solved by itself here, but thanks for the tip anyway!
By the way, I'm using 4.2 here and in fact I don't have wifi enabled all the time. Need to say also that Google Now in Brazil is not sooo much great, it does not have so many services, only the basic ones, so maybe it had something to do with Brazilian Google servers issues on that time.
Anyone else receiving "unfortunately google+ has stopped" error messages as you are using your phone. I have been getting these error messages for 3 days all day long its annoying . Any help ?

I have been getting it the past couple days. I cleared my cache and 8 hrs no message. I am on the latest update from the play store. Stock firmware
Scratch that just started happening again
Happening to me since the update during last week. This morning (about 10am GMT 16th nov) another update was available. Installed it with faith, but to no avail sadly. Still happening, with almost every app. Shockingly this shows how far it roots itself into the system doesn't it?

What update are you getting? As far as I know the SM-900T has not received an OTA yet.
Just started happening to me just now, and Google+ won't open at all anymore. Weird. I've been having trouble with Google Play Services acting funny lately, so I assume it's related to the latest update of that (4.0.33). Only other issue I am having, and it isn't really an issue, is that Google Settings app icon keeps turning grey instead of green. Seems to work fine though.
I just updated to a newer version of Google + via the play store. I am no longer having this issue now.
The version I have currently is 4.2.3.56698342, released on play store this saturday just gone (16th), and this is the latest version on there. It's still giving major grief. I can't so much as delete a gallery photo, open a map, anything, without a ten second hang, followed by the unfortunately stopped message.

Yes tried that a few times. I notice on the play store several of the comments are from s3 users as well as s4, yet a friend of mine with an s3 has had no issues at all.
Very odd.
