CM7.1 RC1: Google Maps has disappeard! Can't reinstall...

I am running CM 7.1.0 RC1 plus gapps-20110613, and it has been running fine. But now, out of the blue, Google Maps, Navigation and Car Home has disappeared. I swear I didn't uninstall them myself.
Also, when I try to install Google Maps from Market, the download icon appears briefly in the notification bar, and then disappears and the download stops without explanation.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I guess clearing and resetting everything and reinstalling the ROM and gapps will fix it, but then I have to do all the tedious setup work again.

Dont open threads everywhere..u already ask this in the desire general section
Try the usual things..reboot..try install again..try clear market data..reboot..retry..sometimes the market seems have this kinds of problem (even if rarely)..also ensure to have enough space on data

Something similar happened to me, I couldn't not install with wifi becasue my sim had been blocked

[Q] Market problem

Yesterday i flashed the latest version of the runny Rom and everything seemed fine until i tried to download apps from the market. i cant download anything, market keeps showing that its going to start downloading but the progress bar never moves, i force close Market app and the progress bar doesn't dissapear from the notificacion bar.
i thought i t was the rom so i restore to my previous rom, and the market wasn't working either.
i've tried every solution i've seen on this and other boards (clear data/cache from market app, start gtalk when downloading, clear date/cache from every gApp, uninstall market updates )
i've wipped everything on recovery and installed 4 diferent roms (1.0 2.1 3.0 and 3.5) i've done everything i can think of, and my market still doesn't download anything.
i really hope some could help me.

have you tried to log into the market from a pc and force an app to download to the phone. Maybe it will help fix it?

thnax but i've just tried that with no luck.. i've tried with 2 more roms (CM7 and miui) with no luck.. i can't download anything from the market.

im gonna try that, and report how it went.

no luck with the fix.apk, im trying to de-root and re-root to see if it helps..

still no luck, please i need help, i've just went back to stock, s-On, and market still not working, then unrevoked, s-Off, custom rom, market still broken. i've tested the the next roms with no luck:
-Community Rc5
-Runny Revolution v1
-Incredible HD V1.0.4 (and with the updates to 1.0.5)
-Miui 1.9.3
-CyanogenMod 7.0.3
-Stock 1.0
-Stock 2.1
Kernels:
- Stock
- Latest Gingertiny
Hope this info could lead to a fix to my problem.

Ok, i think i've found the culprit, i've just tested to download only on 3g/1x and downloads start and finish, on every rom, but when i try to download through wi-fi, downloads never start.
i've checked other sources on the web and apparently its a common issue with all kinds of android phones not just my inc, and some people are able to fix it unblocking some ports on their routers, but i've done that with no luck..
but i have a hunch that my problems started when i installed the latest beta of gingertiny, the one that enables 802.11n... hope with this extra info someone could help me, im really desperate.

Thanx to the couple of people who actually tried to help, if anyone runs into this problem with the market i've found the solution, its not your phone (rom, mods, radios) its actually some kind of issue with your router.. i've just factory reset my router, and the downloads from market started to work again.. hope this helps someone in the future.

updating..
i've found a temporary fix for this!
Yesterday after i reseted my router i though my problems with the market where gone, but they started a couple of hours later.. so i asumed that i wasn't my routers fault.
so i started again testing roms, kernels, unroot, reroot, and bam! found a fix.. not the best one but so far i can download anything from the market..
what i did was:
1.- unroot with PB31IMG.zip (stock rom from last year)
2.- connect to wifi during initial setup
3.- login to my google account during setup
4.- open market app (version 1.82 i think)
5.- download any app (wait what? yes im downloading)
6.- market updates itself and i stop being able to download anything.
so it seems obvious that the culprit was the market, so i freezed "market_updater.apk" to stop the market from autoupdating, uninstall updates and create a backup of that markets verison (1.82)
now im running community rom with that market and everything its perfect, hope this helps someone in the future.

CM7 Market problems since last week

Hey people,
I'm currently located in China and I've got serious problems with the Market lately.
I'm using and been using CM7 on my Moto Defy for months (almost since CM7-Jordan beginning) and I've never had such Market problems before.
So I'm wondering if
1) other users from China can tell me if things are the same (or fine) for them?;
2) anyone have hint/suggestion on how to fix this after reading what I did/observed here?:
First, I'll say again that I've never had problems with Market before; none getting it installed (through gapps zip) on CM7 when updating/reflashing ROM or Nand backups/ none with downloading or upgrading apps with the Market app.
But all in a sudden last week, I noticed that the Market was not reacting quickly. I was testing 111004-1128 nightly (which has a newer Superuser file included) then after SU updated itself automatically [coincidence???], all things broke loose, Market would not connect and give me errors. SU would also alway stay in the "Not Installed" List of my Market apps (even after reboots and logins).
I've then tried to install the Superuser Market update fixer app (big mistake I think now) but that just made things worst. In an effort to get the Market going again, I did clean it's cache and eventually it's data which basically resetted all my listed apps in the Market.
Following all that, I did numerous fresh installs [maybe 10 at this point]: RSDL Froyo flashing and CM7 and gapps installs [with and without restoring old working CWM backups] and with countless install combinations of older CM7 builds and gapps versions.
On August's gapps, Market always gives me the "No connection Retry" even if I can get connected to Google services since my wifi indicator turns blue or green (depending on theme/CM7 build used) and Talk and Gmail logs in fine.
On June's gapps,login seems fine: I can browse apps but as soon as I try downloading something, I get stuck at Downloading 0%... and it seems to put the servicee in some sort of bootloop since and other apps icons do not display until I get "Download failed to install - Try again" and click OK. Market will also FC as soon as I select anything from the "Just in" sections.
I've tried clearing Market's cache many times, started Talk, signed out and back in, let my wifi on all night to leave Market to update. I've even created a new gmail account and tried it on yet another fresh install with June gapps; nothing works and this drive me nutts!!
I can go on my desktop, use a VPN service to log in to my Market account and install something from there; it will be pushed on my phone alsmost right away. But again I can't install anything from the phone no matter what.
That would be fine with me, but that means that for any special apps that otherwise would require me to use Market Enabler, I will not be able to do it from the desktop either.
It's not a question of having DroidWall or anything else I've installed blocking something out; like I wrote; I've tried many clean installs without restoring or installing anything...: same.
So, has The Great Firewall" finally caught up to Android Market and stopping use of any Vending.apk from withtin China? Are they recent changes from Google? Or am I having other Market setup/install problems here? What's your take on this?
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers.
And PLEASE do not "full quote" this long post (sorry for that btw) .

Market has been blocked by GFW. I can't access it either unless using VPN.

This sounds not so far fetched..
I live in the US, and I see the same type of behavior at my college.
I can get to the app, but when downloading it sits there for a century.
the idea of censorship isn't something I would blame, nor shrug.
Her are a few things I should try...
Use a spare gmail account to test with, and see if you can reproduce the same results...
Try and use that same vpn, configured through your phone this time, and disable any apn/data settings other than wifi... Now try.
Edit:
P.s. What ROM are you using? The cm team has a stable out now.. Guide that a shot...

My OP was a long one, but I think that i did mention somewhere that I've tried a new gmail account with same result.
My vpn use encryption and will not work on defy ;(
Strangely, from all my recent tries at getting gapps to work properly, it seems that I can only use 2G data to do the first account setup. And that seems to 'work' only with June gapps package.
Recent update (on RC1.5):
I've also managed to get my installed apps listed again by playing around with 2G data and installing and uninstalling a standalone 3.1.3 Vending apk as update and undo it.
I was able to download 2 or 3 apps (out of 50 trials) also by fiddling w data enable/disable.
But again, never before, in 4-5 months using CM7, I had to turn on data past the initial Google setup and I've never had any download issues either....
So i don't think that it's related to TGFW and will keep digging...
On 7.1 now but no change..as
I did flash june gapps w 7.1 but never got any setup to do since no factory reset. Will try a clean install tomorrow or the day after...
Thanks for your reply.

OK I finally got it to work after all.
I just tried to fix the fix the problems caused by the new Superuser update after trying a recent nightly in just the worst possible way over and over.
So what you have to remember is:
1- to NOT signin to your Google account using data and do it over wifi. So select "Skip" on the screen showing "Create an account", "Sign in" or "Skip" and go ahead with other settings: your baseband, wifi and especially turning off "Data enabled".
2- always use the latest gapps version, not the June one like I tried many times
3- Install gapps along with a fresh CM7 zip install; not a nand restoration.
4- after reboot (if needed by Defy Baseband Switcher) just press the Market icon and set up your account then
So wipe data, cache and Dalvik and install CM7 zip (RC1.5 is a good one to start with) and and latest gapps zip and follow the above.
Sorry for this useless thread and for me trying to get this working like a chicken without a head
So @ TimelesslyPrecise: if your downloads do not start, it might as well be because you did setup your account over data the first time.
So just start from scratch again:
- backup your apps [with TB, the newest (and free) Astro file manager or other];
- do a fresh CM7 install (no need to reflash Froyo) but do as above;
- restore your apps;
- then just click on the Market icon and sign in.
Don't worry if at first your apps are not listed under "My apps"; they will eventually come back with usage.
@xcjiang: yeah I knew that, but that doesn't mean that the Market app on the phone doesn't work.
Sorry again about that.
Cheers.

Didn't worked for me...
Instead I found cause and solution elsewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295222
To cut the story short, problem is in way that Market don't get DNS right.
Solution is to install app that will change DNS for every wifi connection DNS to OpenDNS (my choice) or GoogleDNS. I'm using DNS Changer.
Now enjoy superfast Market

[Q] Navigation crash

I have at problem with the navigation i google maps on my galaxy Nexus.
it simply crashes when every time i try to use it any one got a similar problem?
How can i fix it?

Not sure how you can fix it, but I don't have that problem.
I was using Google Maps couple of times and got no crash problem.
Do you have that issue with other GPS apps? Like other navigation apps? Try that.

Clear Cache and data of Google Maps and try again.
Are you on a custom ROM?

I am not on any costum ROM yet, and I am on version 4.0.1.
i have tried to clear both data an cache but it did not fix the problem

I have the same problem - stock ROM. It crashes on 4.0.1 and 4.0.2. Also tried to clear cache and uninstall updates. Nothing works

You could try downloading a GApps zip, search on here, then extract the navigation.apk and install manually? Turn off unknown sources, dump the apk onto the phone and launch it manually. Might work. Can't think of anything else. Good luck.

If i go into Navigation, then it crashes...the only way i was able to get navigation to work, is to search the address in google maps, then select navigate within the google maps app.

im not sure if you did this or not, but when you have hotplug enabled Navigation will force your phone to reboot when the screen is off. so if you have done anything with the cpu, that might cause the FC. (Undervolt, overclock, and hotplug(when screen is on) have no affect on navigation. Android 4.0.3)

WIFI - Begging for help!

Hello. Im here after wasting above month on official MIUI and Google forums. Xiaomi never answered, and Google is telling me "this is not proper thread" everywhere, and it looks like they have no support for my phone.
So problem is, after upgrading to Android Pie, my wifi stopped working for Youtube, Gmail and System Updates. Those 3 Necessary apps for me need to, MUST work on wi-fi.
What i have done so far:
- Changed router
- Wiped phone (at least 9 times)
- Flashed Official rom from MIUI page..... (few times)
None of them worked plus i got another problem. After flashing Android 8.1 from miui, my sim slots have swapped in system - now sim 1 is sim 2, and sim 2 is sim 1. I knoew it may happen, but even on 8.1 wifi have not fixed itself, so i doubt its something with device, but with some drivers.
I also downloaded ROM from MIUI in Pie version (released week ago or so) and it also not working, same issue. I even had downloaded some update on first pie version. Now its very strange - when i had first Pie (before flashing 8.1) i have downloaded update - to seek for updates i need to use mobile data - thanks for my location only 2G is working, so its slow as hell, when update was found - i downloaded it with wi-fi.
With Youtube its also strange - i can make it working by turning ON wi-fi, launching app, turning wi-fi OFF, and ON and voila. Sometimes it works. I started also using "Secure VPN" app to make Youtube loading - it works, but not in way i wanted to - i need YT working for chromecast - with VPN i cannot connect to chromecast.
Finally Gmail - it sometimes - very rare working on wi-fi, but very soon after i think it fixed itself it again stop to working.
For flashing i tried used mi flash tool, and script commands included in image folder

You can probably try that : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78496783&postcount=40
Edit : this kind of stuff is a bit sensitive, keep in mind you can brick your phone, I don't know if it works I haven't tried myself, this is just a suggestion that looks similar to your problem (Sim swap, and it makes sense to me that the modem.img is also managing the wifi board (but really not sure about that).
BTW, I would do that with the Oreo ROM since I think the message is about Oreo. Then you can upgrade to pie again and see if you still have problems.

In my case, enforcing ipv4 in the router / access point settings has repaired WiFi.
I had issue with twitter, twitch, sometimes YouTube. I Could not access some websites.

I have no ipv6, i have tested this on 2 routers, now i'm checking 9.6.4.0 rom as i heard it have proper modem.img.
#kidoucorp - i'll try this also. I have tried updating to pie 3 times - i havent writed about this
So currently i'm out of options. Tried solution from your link, but it doesnt work
Wifi have worked like a charm after flashing 9.6.4.0 but my sim card wasnt working, system was saying its sim 2, so i wiped it for sure, now wifi is not working again, even after second flash with solution from the link. I wasnt able to login into google accounts, so i tried these steps from google help :
"

Still problem persist,
Try after few hours.
"
And now i have signed into google, but google play store is plain white page. It wont download any updates as wifi is not working, and on LTE/3G/2G i cannot seek for any updates (default play store setting to download only on wifi). Android one is trap, never gonna buy device with this. Looks like i'm gonna try to sell this phone, but i dont know whos gonna buy it.
Any more ideas?

So i make it workable, but i cant login into damm google serwers. I hate everything that startd with G and have 2 oo inside.
What i have done :
- Downloaded 9.6.4.0 Fastbot image from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/ota-v9-6-4-0-odlmiff-t3823913
- unlocked bootloader again
- Flashed image without any changes via miflash
- On first config i choosed to not connect with mobile data or wifi, just skipped it.
- I configured phone once i saw desktop;
- turned off localisation, BT, switched to 2G, configured APN's,
- Configured gBoard, disabled Find my device, disabled FMD from administrators of device, disabled smartlock, and configured google settings so it cannot collect so much my data
- configured sounds, AND WIFI.
- Once i had wifi connected i went straight into SYSTEM UPDATES.
- I saw IT IS DOWNLOADING UPDATE FROM NOVEMBER without any notification. Pissed off about it, i went to developer settings and turned off auto updates.
- Went back to System updates and it was freezed on searching bar and nothing more, so i enabled autoupdates back, i get error it could not update, and in second try it updated.
- YT is working but i cant sign in to google serwers, "try again later".
So now i think i get what is hapening here. Android Pie, Google new owner, everyone have problems "with wifi" - that all BS.
Nobody have problems with Wi-Fi - wi fi is working well, in chrome, or any web browser its working, so DEVICES ARE FINE. Its Google serwers, google apps (using THEIR SERWERS) not working. So i guess new owner have no control ower everything and serwers have half of its speed, so lot of users sometimes have working gapps, sometimes not. If it could be only apps i at least could login into damm google account. What is not fitting into my idea is why PC versions are working OK - mobile devices are using different serwers?
PS : If anyone have Pie and having issues with wifi - try to logut from google account. All should start to works.
PS 2 : i logged into google store via secure VPN - again wifi is not working without VPN.

Phone is useless. LTE and 3G are working 1/5 its speed, its better to use 2G, Wi-Fi is not working on Google Apps. System updates are not working (infinite searching). Only thing that works are browser, messenger, SMS, calls, Deezer.
I dont get how people can not have this issue at all, what its dependent? I tried creating new google account - phone will not login into it. "Problems connecting to google serwers, try again later". Its most sh***y ROM ever created. Never had so much troubles on any custom rom on any phone. Thank you Google, f u G.

Did you update the apps not working to the newest version? Otherwise if you have an unlocked bootloader (which i guess if u used the fastboot flash scripts) you could try to flash opengapps with twrp. Or you could get a logcat on a fresh installation and see if there is really everything ok with the rom.

have you tried joneplustool, you need root, but i did was toggle wifi bonding and my wifi started working fine, only had to do it once, but i suggest to flash magisk and use qualcom wifi bonding module.

All apps are updated, Google Plays Store is normally working, device is certified and udpates are normally working (for apps). Only problem was loggin into google account but after 7th or 8th try it worked. I dont have custom TWRP and have locked bootloader (scripts are doing it manually after finishing the flash). I dont try with TWRP and custom ROM's as i'm not familiar with it on this device (I have installed multiple mods - roms, recovery's. modems, etc on Redmi Note 4, but it was much easier). I'm also not familiar with logcat and its script language.

Well, at my work WIFI is working fine (for while), i have straight connection in work. In home, "friend" is sending me a signal (but its very hard to ask him for help) and i'm receiving it via wi-fi in my home. What he told me, i dont have ipv6 (he's not also). I tried 2 routers in my home - 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz - both same issue. In work i have 5Ghz, but 5 is not fitting to my home - i got low signal in the bottom of the house while router is on upper floor, lot of metal tubing, etc. its old building style home and it have some cons and props.

Well, friend have changed something about DNS, system updater, youtube started working, he said there was some problems with 8.8.8.8 on my phone. after 15 minutes system updater again searching for updates infinite time, in 2G it works flash fast. Youtube still works, but who know how long... Any ideas?
BTW xda page also wont load on wifi....
