Do you understand why?
Clearing cache/data for an app force closes it. It will return on reboot

As has been pointed out, that does not fix it. All that was done is merely force closing maps and it will resume the exact same behavior upon a reboot.
Open maps and let it find your location. That should actually resolve the issue for you with the added benefit of actually persisting after a reboot.

This one!

Google play

Is anyone else having this issue in google play.
You scroll down as you look at apps.
You select one to look at it then go back to the app list.
Once back to the list you are started back at the top.
Pretty annoying if you are pretty far down.
Anyone know of a fix

It works like that for everyone. I have not seen a fix for it.

It will probably be fixed in a newer version, it is annoying but its no biggie

I have actually contacted Google about this. It happens when viewing the "My Apps" and is especially annoying in the "All" tab. It also happens in the "Top New Free" apps section. Google emailed me back and said they can't promise anything, but my concern had been forwarded to their developers. I really hope they fix this.

Good deal. Yeah it's not a huge deal but gets annoying when you are searching for apps and have to scroll through a couple hundred apps to get back to where you left off. Seems like it would be an easy fix for Google I wonder why they don't fix it.

It would be great if they fix it soon... and also give us the possibility to clean the chronology of the google play, i've an endless list of apps it's pretty useless...

Yes, now that you mention it the app history of every app you downloaded in the last 5 years is worse. I download and try a ton of free apps as well as paid. Most free apps are deleted within the day, so I have a gazillion apps in the my apps list

I agree these issues are annoying. I'll sign any petition!

Furthermore, they need to bring back a way of filtering purchased apps. All of our purchased apps should be in one convenient place.

I heard there was an apk called "play legend"that allows you to see all purchased apps, still haven't found + installed it yet though

Theres legacy play store by Paul O'brien on MoDaCo.

An update to the Playstore is being rolled out to address some of these issues. You can now remove apps from the all apps list and it appears to keep your place when you scroll.

This new Play Store is sweet! You can delete historical apps and it remembers your position when navigating backward!
I downloaded from the article link, cleared market data, pushed to system (rooted), and rebooted. Works great.

How to delete a page on a Stock Rooted Rom.

I'm running a Stock Rooted ROM on my S3. For some reason, I have TWO blank pages. When I go to view all my pages, I drag the blank page to the bottom to delete it and my device locks up. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!

might want to clear the data on touchwiz... buut, you'll lose your home screen settings.

Go to Settings > Application Manager > select "All" tab > select "TouchWiz Home" > and click "Clear Data".

Tried to to that and it still did not work. Strange, I'm just looking to delete TWO empty pages. Every time I go to remove a page, my device locks up. Thanks!

Why is Google Maps trying to piss me off? (Screenshot)

My girlfriend and I have the same phone (Samsung Galaxy Note II), same ROM (teshx's stock updates) same settings and similar software and yet look what Google Maps has been doing to my phone OUT OF THE BLUE for the past four days.
Is it trying to piss me off or something? Because it's working. I barely even use my phone for anything and now it's as if I'm constantly using Navigation or something.
The second screenshot is of my girlfriend's battery usage.
I went through side-by-side at all the settings and they're identical, so what the hell is going on and is there an easy way to quickly diagnose it?

I'm having the same issue but with Google + it keeps turning on automatically And running on the background... this is new to me. Wtf is going on?

Try going into map, menu, settings, location settings, and uncheck everything (if you haven't already)

For some reason I cannot see attached files on XDA, but I am guessing your complaint is about battery?
I had something similar after I started playing Ingress. It seemed that Maps was constantly using battery and kept showing me "Google Maps has stopped" messages, freezing up my phone for 5 seconds or so. Way I fixed was to roll back updates. Now it's perfect. I will try updating it again, and see what happens.

If you guys don't have the same apps, that could be it. There are a lot of apps that use the maps for location to. I had a app that was using my maps like that and had to delete it.

^ This. You have some app that is hooking into location services that is running all the time that she doesn't have on her phone. The facebook app is famous for this, but there are others that use "Check In" or Messenger type functions that will constantly ping your location.

Try GREENIFY APP (only root).maybe helps. It works really good for me. And im using beautiful widgets, weather bug, fb.running all the time.

Just go to Maps in app settings and clear cache and data. I bet your issue gets solved

You might also want to turn off google's location services when you're using the browser. Google Now also runs up the map usage because it's using the location services as well (that's how it gets those amazing cards to show up). So it's not just using the actual Maps or Navigation that may be running up your battery.

Nice post lol I get like that too I hate when apps dont corporate. This is a post I would post lol I know how you feel

[Q] backing up cached Google music

I've been flashing ROMs for a while but have not been able to figure out how to back up my Google music so o don't lose it on a clean flash.
I'm thinking if I go to /data/data/com.Google.music/files and move it to my SD card that I could flash and move it back afterwards. Can someone confirm this for me?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

As far as I can tell; anything you manually chose to save offline should get restored* when restoring app with data through Titanium. As for the regularly cached after playing, haven't seen a way.
-edit
*Automatically re downloads for offline use. Not quite "restored."

Yeah, I went 10gb over my 5gb plan because of re-download and not monitoring it close enough.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Yeah, wish there was a way to set it to download only on WiFi but also force it over mobile if one chose to. At least one option exists, even if it is a pain to manually switch when needed. Here's hoping for such a setting in a future update..

Whats the difference between clicking a Force mobile sync and Changing the Setting to sync on both anyway ?

Oh come on!
There's a thread about this on Q&A; didn't anybody notice that this thread is in the wrong section?

I meant that you have the ability to have it only download over WiFi so mobile data doesn't get used unexpectedly. Some apps have similar settings but include the ability to "force" the download on mobile. Presently, you can switch the settings on the fly to accomplish this, but it's not ideal. That's all I meant.
