Geolocation Problem. Does not exist?

So today I applied a couple of updates and I "think" that Beautiful Widgets was the last prior to seeing "Geolocation Problem: Location does not exist"

Google Maps. Open it and then you should be okay.

What the deuce!!!! Never have had to do that before.
Thanks for letting me know najaboy, would have never figured out the reason. Would have fixed it without knowing as I use maps all the time, just wouldn't have known what fixed it.

OK, spoke to soon. It didn't pop up but this time I got an explanation somewhat... Still don't know how to fix it:

I just got this message for the 1st time (traveling on business). I just closed this message, and it picked up the right location immediately. I have it on airplane mode during the day since I can't get signal where I am during the day, so the phone + GPS might have been in a confused state.

I got the message once yesterday, and now since 3am EST It keeps giving me this error message. Even with GPS on AND opening Google Maps.
PS - Also, I read on Androidforums something about checking the alternate geocoder, but that option is greyed out for me.
PPS - I changed from Accuweather to Google Weather and it seems to be working now.

I have the same issue .. switching to GOOGLE for weather seems to fix the issue but I dont think it is providing the correct location as accuweather did
any fix?

Interesting, never seen that...I kinda want it to happen just to be like, ha, I don't exist right now.

I have the same problem with something fix for me
First of all I'm sorry for my English as I'm from Thailand
I got the exactly same problem and I tried many way to fix it out and what is work for me is
I go to application, Manage Application, and clear the Data for Beautiful Widget
Then I remove the home widget and Add the beautiful home widgets again and set the weather service for Accuweather then thing just come up and the problem just fixed
This is work for me.
Cheers

This is a year old thread bud, safe to say this isn't a common problem.

Mangled text on home screens?

Hello, I've got a weird error that I don't even know how to begin tracking down. Not sure if this is an ICS issue, an app issue, or a device (hardware) issue.
Several times now, I get a problem were, after a reboot, all the text on my home screen - names for apps and text within widgets is mangled somehow. Like pixels inverted, or boxed over, etc. (see screenshot)

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The first couple of times this happened, a single reboot made it go away. However with my latest occurrence, I've rebooted several times without a fix.
EDIT: It seems like my data connection may also require examination? Since on the 3rd or 4th reboot I was in my office with a solid WiFi connection (versus previous reboots I was in my car en-route), the problem has now gone away again.
My initial reboot this morning was as a quick-fix attempt at an absent data connection. Guess I'm off to research these "radios" everyone keeps on about...
EDIT 2: Ok, perhaps ignore the above. After a reboot made this go away, it has now come back spontaneously (i.e. just noticed it sitting in the cradle with the error again - no reboot this time.) CRUUUUD.

Are you using a custom Kernel? Some 'Overclock' the GPU to 512MHz, while Stock is 384MHz. Some devices can't handle the increase and cause screen artifacts. Post your Kernel details and I'm sure someone will point you in the direction of another Kernel if this is the case.

Not that I know of - should be all stock, since I haven't rooted or unlocked anything yet (just got the phone a couple of weeks ago).
Thanks for the help.

Stock launcher? Or using nova/apex etc?

Hi,
Another thread...:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646985
Nothing related to GPU overclock...just about this possibility...
Looking in different threads in Q&A/General.
If you are using the stock launcher...I think I saw a topic with this weird issue with the stock launcher...but I can not find it anymore
In any case clear data/cache of your current launcher,reboot and see...If you're on another launcher than stock,reinstall...
I speak only for the launcher issue.

Yep, stock launcher. Thanks for the other thread.
Seems to be at bay now. Will keep an eye on it.

[Q] Photosphere and Gyro

Am I the only one that has problem with Photosphere and the gyroscope?

Yeah I got that too. Annoying as f**k.
Screwed up my ppl picture when I was in sphere mode. All upside down.
Anyways it's not final yet so yeah. But still I hate it.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

Same problem, using the final Takju OTA - I never get a single lock-on; the point keeps drifting and at best I get one of the three lock light flashing. Given that even the help pages focus on the new Nexus 4, 7 and 10, I'm guessing we'd have to wait for the next point release to get this working.
People have been reporting success with Galaxy S 3, but not the Samsung I9000, so it's probably hardware-related, or at the very least driver-related

I have the gyroscope drifting off a bit on the first shot, subsequent shots are fine though.
Interestingly, I did a factory reset before 4.2 and it fixed the gyro issue! I can't seem to recreate the fix though. :/

Factory reset didn't help me... Seems my gyro is not only drifting, but its slow too. Hopefully Google fixes this =\

Factory reset didn't help me either -- I actually did a full reinstall from the Takju 4.1.2 factory image, because I didn't want to wait until the Yakju update, and then immediately updated to 4.2 via OTA before doing anything else beyond the initial setup.
A similar problem reported against CyanogenMod suggests that it might be due to the specific gyroscope make (the bug was not for the SGN, though). Installing Phone Tools now so I can check my gyroscope there.

No problem out here

Saturday I went to Venice (Italy) and the photosphere was working fine there, now I'm back in Avellino (Italy) and is it not working again.. :/
That's weird..

It was working for me well the other day as well... Perhaps magnetic interference?
sent from my mini tractor

I ended up flashing directly to 4.2 with a full wipe, and I have had non of the problems you describe. (Or any of the other problems people have had with 4.2).
I have however experienced while doing a photo sphere that the gyroscope isn't completely accurate. Meaning that if I go back and fourth a double of times on the first pictures, the next dot will be way of and the final sphere will be missing a part at this point and have an overlap at the end.

Google Maps Zooming Out Problem!

This is the first phone I've had problems with Google Maps. For some reason it's zoomed out following my route there is no say to get it closer. Ive cleared cache and data of the app. No joy. Can't think what else. Making navigation hard as can't seem to follow the route properly. Thanks

Hey, not an HTC 10 owner (galaxy s7 edge) but my google maps navigation just started doing the same thing today, it's a complete pain in the ass. Guess it's an app problem rather than your phone!
Maybe google play services has updated something and broken it!

Likewise on my LG Ultimate II, since yesterday.
I've found that the zoom-out issue only occurs when the phone is tilted (wide rather than tall), and only when "Tilt Map" is checked in the Navigation Settings. Unfortunately, that's precisely how I prefer to use it.

Hmm glad I'm not the only 1 then. Thought it was my new HTC10 being the problem.

I'm guessing it was some update which has screwed with it. Which is REALLY annoying!

I've already tried turning tilt off and on messing around with options doesn't make any difference. I always have my phone in landscape while driving. Haven't had chance to try in portrait.
I have noticed though if I'm on a long stretch of road it zooms right out then when I'm approaching hing a turning it does zoom in Abit more. But it's a stupid function.

Same here Sony Z3c, Send feedback to Google via the app, they obviously farked it up on the last update. I thought it was stuck in 2D mode, but its just zoomed out very far.
I note that as you get to junctions etc it does zoom in briefly, but then zooms out again afterwards.

Chrome Tabs Show As List

Anyone know why chrome (latest version) is showing my tabs as a list, rather than the "album cover" way they usually do? I just switched to the s9; it's this something with the phone, or maybe a new setting in Chrome?

My S9 has just changed to showing tabs as a list been through the settings but can't find anything to change it back

Mine is not showing as a list. What version are you guys running, my Chrome is 68.0.3440.91

Oh, man. I hope it's not permanent.
Thanks!

Find a fix?
Did you ever figure this out? My Galaxt Note 9, that I've had since launch, just suddenly started doing it and I hate it! I downloaded chrome beta and same thing!

Yes! Tapping the tab count now brings up a list, and swiping down from the URL/search box brings the "album art" fan of the tabs. It took some getting used to to start swiping instead.

OMG I was pulling my hair out. You've made me so happy as I could not find anyone talking about this. Did this only happen to Samsung's?
I like the new feature! Just wish I knew about it!

I have no idea. What's weird is I reset my phone and now it doesn't do it anymore.
Glad to help!
