When Google Play Services (GPS) version 4.0.33 was posted here, I downloaded and applied it without issue. Even though I wasn't having any trouble with it, I decided to incorporate all of my system app updates with Titanium Backup to open up a little space on my phone. I had a handful of apps ready for incorporation, so I just hit run and set my phone down for a few minutes to let it finish. I've never had any trouble with this operation before, but this time it hung when it reached GPS until I force quit TB. When I went to restart the operation, GPS was no longer listed as an app ready for incorporation, so I figured it had worked and everything was fine. TB hung up two more times after that on different apps, so I continued the operation 1 app at a time until I was finished. Geting to the point, I noticed I no longer had GPS on my phone later when I went to open an app that required and it told me I didn't have it. So I went to the Play Store and downloaded version 4.0.31 and installed it as a normal app. Then I used TB to convert it to a System App because that was the way it was before. But then it started force closing and none of my apps that require it would work. So I removed it and restored the original that I had backed up with TB, and everything was fine again. I decided not to mess with the 4.0.33 update anymore. Then a few days ago 4.0.33 was officially available on the Play Store as an update, so I updated that way. Ever since, every time I restart my phone it force closes 3 or 4 times, but then seems to work fine until the next reboot/start up. Also, I've noticed that every time GPS starts having issues, the Google Settings app icon turns grey*, but it seems like it still works fine regardless of the color of the icon.
Anyway, I was just wondering if I was the only one having these issues, or if someone has managed to fix it if you've experienced this? Thanks in advance!
* It was always green before this fiasco, now it's only green if I "Uninstall Updates" to GPS via App Manager since GPS no longer shows up on the Play Store for me until I have uninstalled the 4.0.33 update, and then it shows it's ready for an update...
I ran into the same problem after I tried to integrate GPS 4.0.33 into the stock rooted ROM of my Nexus 7 (4.4 KitKat). I had to reinstall 4.0.31 in order to get it back to work. After the first reboot GPS was automatically updated to 4.0.33, but I won't try integrating it with Titanium again for fear of running into the same issue. I used to integrate all of the Google apps that came with the stock ROMs as soon as I received an update. But with 4.3 JB I started running into problems when I tried to integrate Chrome, Earth and Google +. I recently got updates for all of these, but I did not tried to integrate them into 4.4. My Google settings icon is grey, but I don't know if that is causing any side effects. I was never able to manually update GPS via the Play Store. It has always been pushed to my Nexus 7 and SGS3. It would be nice to know what specifically makes these apps incompatible for integration with Titanium or with other program for that matter. For what I can see, there is enough storage space left to integrate them. In previous ROMs I have also used Apps2ROM to integrate apps that were not included in the stock ROMs. Btw, what version of Android are you running?

All of a sudden outta nowhere, Google maps has been force closing on me. I searched it on Google and there is a thread over in the Samsung vibrant forums where a lot of people are having the same issue. It was working fine yesterday. Can anyone else check and post your results?
google maps force close
I'm getting force close on google maps using dell streak today after about 10 seconds - cant get past the whats new in google maps screen
+1 on places app

same here ... try uninstalling and reinstalling google maps. It has been working so far for me.
This is weird, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling and changing kernels, and it still is force closing. For some reason if I use WIFI it works fine, if I switch back to 3g, it force closes again...
Same here tried everything even flashing a new rom......
Yes. Really amazing to me that Google can put out updates that force close on their own platform.

I just got mine today. Non-rooted, 2.2 and it FC'd on me before and after the maps update. Sprint reinstalled software - no dice. Since others have it that gives me hope for a software patch and not an exchange.
Me too.
I really needed Maps for traffic today. First I started getting "failed to login." Then I started getting FCs. I was on Fresh 3.0. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Maps. I was still getting FCs. I flashed to Fresh 3.1.0.2. I'm getting "failed to login," again. I hope Google puts a patch out.
Looks like they fixed it. Atleast its working for me now.....
I am in Southern California and not only had the F/C with Google all day but also had my phone reboot about 10 times while trying to use either Google or Sprint Navigation. I thought it was my phone as I have had this happen before. It would happen when I would turn the GPS on. Not sure what the cause is, and I am thinking it maybe time to fully root my phone and move to a different Rom. I am just running stock with the fist version of Unrevoked that ever came out.
I got the latitude list open before one of the force closes. after that it worked again

i thought mine was F/C because i was not connected to the data network. to save battery i turn off 3g manually and thats when Gmaps would close on me, then i turned back data and it worked flawlessly.
Same

Yup, I did exactly that, uninstall then reinstall Google Maps after encountering FCs out of the blue yesterday, and now no more FCs.
Everything was working fine until today. My market refuses to download apps or updates, even after a factory reset. Not sure if anyone else has noticed. Can't seem to fix it. Not sure if its server side or some update to the market, but I can't get my apps back until its fixed. Please post here if you know what's going on or have the issue. I'll try WiFi later and see if that helps.
Update: It started working randomly shortly after I wrote this post. Unfortunately, another problem has come up. Now I get unknown error -18 when downloading and installings Google Sky Map, MiniSquadron!, Bubble Breaker, and Bubble Breaker Editor. So essentially all is well, but I'm getting weird errors on one of my favorite apps and one that I just bought and haven't been able to use. I'm going to try a different rom and see if that helps. This is really starting to annoy me...
Update: I did an RUU last night and as of right now, I still cannot access those four apps. Same error -18. Someone else here on the forums is having market issues similar to those I was having at first, so it might just be a server side or recent market update issue.
i have the same problem market gets stuck at downloading
It sucks, but repartition your sd card. Worked for me after getting the same errors. Something about it trying to overwrite an existing file and then failing.
Yeah, I was just googling for information on the error and found out you have to move any existing apps from the SD card to the phone and then delete the .android_secure folder from your card. Guess all of these apps were meant to install to the SD card by default and that's what was causing the error. Fixed my phone now.

Yeah, I've had that problem for a while. Usually if I rebooted or used wifi tether it would start working. They've pushed out a couple of updates to the market in the last couple of days, and I haven't been having problems today at least. We'll see how long that lasts.
Settings, Applications, All Apps, Market, Uninstall updates, clear data, clear cache, force stop. Open market. Fixed.
Anyone having problems with the Market? Able to download apps but they will not install, been doing it since yesterday evening. Don't think its the ROM i am using, but I just want to check with everyone else. Thanks

Yeah, had the same problem yesterday evening. After a factory reset it was still having the issue. Suddenly it started working though. My biggest problem is that four apps still won't install, even after an RUU. The apps are Google Sky Map, MiniSquadron!, Frozen Bubble Breaker, and Frozen Bubble Breaker Editor. They all give me an error -18. All my other apps are working now, but I have noticed a few other small glitches in the last couple of days as well. Since I'm not the only one, its probably server side or a market update. Either way, it will hopefully be fixed shortly.
So I updated through kies to uvlh1, and the phone seemed smooth and responsive at first. But after updating all the apps through google play and now whenever I add/click the accu weather, or other widgets, TwLauncher crashes and the screen goes black for at least 1 minute before becoming useable again. I tried reflashing through odin but it made no difference. Only a factory reset (data clear) remedies the problem. Can anyonr confirm/ help? (besides installing a different launcher)
Edit: the problem seems to be the my account app. After updating it, the phone became unresponsive for a few seconds, and the problem resurfaced.
next time check how much free memory it has left
if it works fine, until you download apps from Android Market
then that means one of the Apps from Market, is most likely the cause of the problem
so, instead of letting it automatically install all the Apps you had in the Market
do it manually, and choose specific apps that you use to install
do it one at a time, and see how the phone responds, rinse and repeat until you find the faulty App
This is the very same reason why i came back to CM9 from CM10, found several Apps that were not behaving properly on JB, but works without any problem on ICS
many Apps has since been updated to be JB compatible, so keep an eye on your favourite apps, or those must have installed apps to make sure they are compatible with JB

The memory is fine, but after reinstalling every app except the my account one, the error seems to have vanished. However, id like to know if anyone has the same problem. Because otherwise, my phone is crazy and i need to call tmobile for an exchange.
So don't update my account

I have noticed that the new Facebook app have some bugs that makes the phone to crash. I get a white screen and then later it says fb stop responding. but then again I have noticed some lag on the this update and on the one before.
I think they have a new app that is kinda like my account but it uses the browser use that instead. the only thing you cant do right now is pay your bill but they will be adding that feature soon.

Thats wierd i had the same problem but vice versa, see im in US Tmobile towers and my device came stock UVLH1 and when i did the kies thing ,,, it gave me UVLE1 so my data and wifi were not functioning correctly one or the other had to be turned off so that i could make or recieve call on data or download and browse on wifi... i found the UVLH1 site and flashed the radio and know both work . maybe u need to flash UVLE1 so that ur problem disapers:laugh::good:
Cyanogenmod worked perfectly on my SGH-I747 for several months, but then lost capabilities one by one. First my data stopped working for any function despite showing a good connection, but wifi still worked. Then, my gps stopped working intermittently, but was often fixed after updates.
Recently, there has been a notification to "Sign info network: AT&T". While it is always there, attempting to use the GPS definitely causes it if I've removed it. When I select it, my browser is directed to plain google.com, and the bottom prompts me to login, sometimes mentioning GPS. In the past, clicking sign in would instantly restart the device. In the last few weeks, attempting to sign in simply refreshes the page (edit: since I've started writing, when google loads my phone instantly crashes as before). I can't access the play store ("No Connection"), or install apps from my computer. However, already installed apps like chrome still work fine with wifi.
Also, my MMS doesn't work either direction. I've tried clean reinstalls. I've been using CM 10.2.0-RC1. Thanks for any assistance!
Since the problem, have you tried reflashing the ROM with a full wipe to see if that fixes the problem or trying a different ROM?
