Google Plus on a custom rom - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Google Plus App Location issue: Before I get flamed, let me explain that this might be a custom Rom related issue, hence my post here to check if others have experienced this issue and if there is a fix available.
Installed the latest update of the G+ app. It now has a location feature where you can view your friends location on a map. Unfortunately, I'm getting a blank map with gridlines for a friend who is sharing his location with me. I've posted this question on the G+ forums and there is a suggestion this may be to do with a custom Rom. Anyone else having this issue?

Yes. It's a custom rom. Seems a missing class but I have not send a fix.

Any updates?
Now that Google latitude is gone from the new Maps version, we really need this to work.
Thanks.

I'm not having any issues with my maps showing up.
And I'm on the latest G+ app. With a custom Rom installed, and it'sTW based Rom!

Try looking at this post online. I had the same issue on my d2att running CM10.1.2 and it fixed it perfectly after a reboot.
"Root user fix found for Google+ Locations blank tiles and missing maps" on pocketables dot com. (Sorry new here and can't post links yet)

The fix is simply to convert Google+ to a system app. The easiest way being through Titanium Backup

[Q] Carrier Name failure

The Carrier Name on my friends Galaxy Nexus is showing additionally to the real name this string '@@@' (see image below). It is running ICS 4.0.2
Does anybody know where this could possibly come from?

Sigh... this was mentioned at least once before. It's most likely a malware app.

I know and i tried to search for this in the forums but to no avail. guess the string '@@@' is hard to search(find). Google totally ignores it too

I'll see if I can find the thread. If not, check the apps. See what third party apps have been downloaded and then we can give more insight to what it might be.

Finally found it. Phew. I don't see an answer though. I'm assuming it was a third party application.

I had this as well but it seemed to go away on its own after an hour or so? Only happened once though....
Something similar happened once where ROGERS became @OGERS on the phone. It cleared after I rebooted.
No malware
Stock unlocked/unrooted 4.0.1 yakjuux
I sent the screenshot I took to Google, but as expected, they didnt care
A simple reboot was not enough.
He had to remove the battery as well. This fixed it and the characters did not reappear since than.

Tethering issue. Can't use web browser

I used to tether my sg3 on regular basis with no problem until recently I wanted to tether, went on chrome and instead of loading my website it loads a T-Mobile message about if I want to add a tether plan bla bla bla. However I can still use everything else like update windows, a game, and play online games. Anyone knows how to solve this annoying problem? I use pdanet and did try using other tethering apps and still having the issue.
Btw it happens each time I tether ever since that night

Bro there are at least three threads on this. I think at least two are on the first page of the forum here. Not trying to be a ****, but people are going to tear you a new one for not searching. There are a lot of things you can do to fix tethering. Apn changes, user client changes. Etc. Good luck on your quest for a working solution.

Gotcha...
That's a software issue.... At least it's not hardware like my old vibrant.
So you can replicate the issue too?
I hope Google fixes it soon because I need the tab for a trip.

Yup, reboot cleared it up. I would have not noticed, since I rarely toggle GPS anymore.

The real culprit is new maps version, if you can find and downgrade to version 6.14.4 you will be fine. I know it coz I faced similar issues with upgrade but I had a backup of my map app which saved me

Stop Google updates

I know this question has been posed before but...its a shame to be on these great custom roms such as Project x and Jv4 and have themed versions of Google apks like playstore and you tube, only to be borked by Google play services that updates to current versions! Can this be averted at all, I heard that the process can be froze via Titanium backup? Any help would be great thanks. ...

Uncheck Automatic Updates in Play Store settings... That should be all you need to do.

Could it possibly be from having google sign on syncing app data?

Yeah that might do it too, I never do that... I just back the important ones up with Ti Backup. Also try going into the App Manager, hit menu button, then "Clear App Preferences". And if it asks you when installing an app don't hit Verify and Install. It checks the Play Store when you do that.
Ok tried all the above even after a full restore unticked all do not update and sync, and uninstall updates and it just bounces right back to new versions of play store, YouTube and google voice, currently looking for correct process to freeze possibly with TB

They push them through Google Play Services now, you can't stop it, you just have to find a themed version of the latest.
