Hello,
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5110, stock JB 4.1.2, TWRP+Root
Since now all worked fine. I have nandroid backup made and even after restoring location still not working.
Few days ago I tried to update to KitKat but didn't like it so I restored to JB again using TWRP as usual. Each time I restored backup all worked fine, now I have location issues. All set up properly, all wiped and nothing.
I don't really know if this is connected to upgrade or not, because I didn't use maps few weeks before update.
I also noticed that after update when i switch to Download Mode for Odin I have Knox Warranty Void not on the screen and downloading mode rus little different. Previously I had just three lines in upper left corner now there are 6 and each partitions is restored or cleared it gives additional lines saying what was cleared or restored. Previously It was just a blue bar running and nothing else appears. Now this!
I thought when I do nandroid restore it will revert everything back but I guess it is not.
Does Knox have anything to do with Location Issues or is it just information that I lost my warranty?
To be precise, any weather widget cannot locate, Google Maps (stock, not updated) have thic compass icon to go back to current location not working, and when i try to save some location settings it crashes and says "Maps app was forced to close".
Web browser finding location, but when opening Maps there should be that blue arrow in place where I am, but it isn't appear anymore. And no messages pop up until I tap compass icon.
All services seem to work bit no location available.
It works fine on my SGS2 running GB

I recently installed Touch of Blue 2.2 on my phone and have a couple of issues.
First, this was my first effort to root a phone. I followed the popular instructions over on Android Forum to unlock, s-off, downgrade to froyo, and root the phone. Also got a new radio -- 2.15.10.12.20. I tried to install cmlusco's Stock 2.3 (rooted) but got Status 7 erros and then installed Touch of Blue instead.
Now after installing Touch of Blue, the notifications under Quick Settings (pull-down) are all telling me I'm low on space, but I don't think I am. For my SD card (under settings->SD & phnoe storage) I have 23.01GB out of 29.71GB available. For internal storage, I have 6.3GB out of 6.45GB available. Sure doesn't seem I'm low on space to me. And I never had any Low on Space issues until I rooted and installed the new ROM.
Also, Location services. I have Google Location services turned on. I don't get that Location Services cross-hairs icon in the top notification area, and the HTC Clock widget can't find my location. I did turn on GPS and Verizon location services for a bit, and that didn't help. However, with just Google Location Services on, I just put The Weather Channel app and Google Maps on the phone and both of those apps could find my location. How do I get the cross-hairs icon and the nice clock widget to know my location?
One more thing - I am getting the notifications for the OTA 4.08.605.19. I don't think I can install that with Touch of Blue. If I somehow got the stock (rooted) 2.3 version to successfully install, would I be able to take the OTA update?
Thanks for any help. I apologize if I've asked dumb questions. As I said, I'm new to all of this...

The stock 4.08.605.15 rom has been fixed, and there is actually a newer version 4.08.605.19 out.
The low on space thing is just a visual glitch, and does NOT mean you are actually low on space.
The gps crosshair has been purpously removed from the rom, but all gps features still work. The clock widget should automaticly find your location. If not you can enter it manually.
No you can not accept the update while rooted, it will not work unless you are 100% stock. TOB will soon be updated to 4.08.605.19, and as i said a stock rooted 4.08.605.19 is already out.
Thanks cmlusco! You are very helpful.
I see TOB has been updated so I'll install that when I get a chance.
The darn clock still doesn't get my location. I can only manually enter the nearest city, which is no help. But I see this is a known issue for the DINC, not TOB. I have deleted and installed the widget several times, and it still doesn't work. Argh.
Google Maps/Navigation will force-close on me within a few minutes every time a navigation route is plotted. Sometimes after it FCs the navigation icon will remain in the status bar and will even re-connect on occasion, however usually it just kills the process. This has been a recurring issue for me throughout the last few ROMs I've been trying (both TW and non-TW). I should also mention that when Maps/Navigation is launched I always get a prompt for missing Voice Guidance, saying, "...you need to install text-to-speech support from Android Market" which takes me to the SpeechSynthesis Data Installer application. After installing it, the prompts disappear but Maps/Navigation still crashes within one minute of GPSing. Also, I have verified that the Pico TTS text-to-speech output is selected as the preferred engine (before installing SpeechSynthesis Data Installer, so not sure why that prompt is coming up every time on both TW and CM).
Here are the steps I have taken so far without success:
ATTEMPT 1
Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP
Formatted Data from within TWRP
Flashed Slim 7, cleared cache/Dalvik
Flashed Slim Gapps, cleared cache/Dalvik
Reboot, let phone sit, reboot
Installed Maps (crashed within 1 minute)
ATTEMPT 2 ([*gps fix] alternate gps fix])
Ran [root] Triangle Away - reset flash counter to 0
Odin back to stock TW
Samsung service mode *#197328640#
Mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD
Waited 30 seconds, rebooted
Installed Maps (crashed within 1 minute)
ATTEMPT 3
Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP
Formatted Data from within TWRP
Ran XquiziT_SuperWipe_SGH_T999 from TWRP
Rebooted back to TWRP
Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP
Rebooted back to TWRP
Flashed LiquidSmooth v2.8, cleared cache/Dalvik
Flashed official Gapps, cleared cache/Dalvik
Reboot
Install Maps
Settings>App Info>Maps>Clear data and Clear cache
Maps crashed within 1 minute
ATTEMPT 4
Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP
Formatted Data from within TWRP
Flashed Slim 7, cleared cache/Dalvik
Flashed Slim Gapps, cleared cache/Dalvik
Reboot
Install Maps
Settings>App Info>Maps>Clear data and Clear cache
Reboot to TWRP, fixed permissions
Reboot --> maps crashed within 1 minute
Additional assistance will be very much appreciated! Thanks so much, I rely on Maps quite a bit and this issue is annoying ><
Sounds like you may be running out of memory? Try clearing in ram manager before opening maps.
In development options, check show cpu usage to watch for anything that happens everytime before it crashes. Also try the limit background processes options and see if it helps.
These are tw options, not sure if there are equivalents in cm

According to cpu usage I should be fine, especially since trying Maps/Nav from a fresh TW/CM install shouldn't rock my RAM too hard >< Thanks though!
Update: I tried using a different navigation app (MapQuest Mobile) and it runs perfectly fine. This issue is tied directly to Google Maps and Navigation, perhaps involving the text-to-speech output. I attached my logcat for review. Thanks :highfive:
FINAL UPDATE: Google updated their Maps app and now everything runs perfectly fine. Problem solved

I spoke too soon myself~ After running with it for a few days I can definitely report my issue persists as well. Still no solution in sight ><
EDIT: I ran across a solution that seems to work. Within Navigation, click the compass in the upper-right of the screen. This will keep the screen directions static, meaning north stays north, etc. This solved my issue after testing for 40+ minutes!

I found that static North mode helps, but it is still very unstable. I'm now having lots of other problems with my device. I would LOVE to know of a ROM and kernel combo that works with Google Maps. CM10 got so bad that I switched to SlimBean. I just need my device to be sufferable until I buy a Nexus 5 and NEVER buy another non-nexus device again. This is my 3rd Galaxy device and I have ended up in this state with everyone of them. (That's completely unsupported and unstable.)
I am using slimkat 4.4.2 and there's a button to the right of the homebutton that usually opens a popup where i can see other apps that i have opened but after a while it stops working and gives me this error: com.android.systemui has stopped working and after that the UI disappears and restarts itself. Any ideas?
This is the most recent post relating to this issue, so here it goes.
I've been having this issue with CM11 and more recently with Pac man, I've tried many nightlies on both ROMs with the same result, "com.android.systemui stopped working" then the screen goes into a loop, the only way to get is to work again is by doing a factory reset and starting over, I've also tried flashing the same ROM and other variations in the order of installing everything again, same deal.
This really got to me so I've spent most of the day re-installing everything from scratch, one application at a time, and making a nandroid each time, until I installed Google+, once installed, it goes into a loop (as above), so I reverted back to the previous backup, and just to prove that it was Google+, I did it again , same deal, restored again, and installed all my apps except Google+, and I've had no issues. I've read across heaps of other places where they mention the problem is relate to something trying to make a change in the status bar, or related, well, I've noticed that without Google+, the top left profile icon doesn't update with my Google profile (as per my other set up in other incarnations of CM11 and Pac man nandroids),, so could there be a link where Google+ is causing this problem as it tries to update the profile?
In trying to fix a connectivity issue with my school wifi, I did a factory reset in TWRP (after making a backup). Upon completing the reset and restore, many functions have stopped working. Most apparent:
-Home key now only functions as lock (screen off/on) switch, and no longer returns to home screen (I'm using Nova Launcher), long press does not bring up recent apps (and using xposed to reassign menu button to recent apps makes that button do nothing as well.)
-Settings button in notification panel does nothing
-paid apps not downloading from play store (none work any longer)
-general difficulty accessing/implementing account data from google apps
I still have root, and those apps are all working fine, but paid features such as Nova Launcher Prime aren't working. When I checked the play store, I got a an error "-24" if I tried to reinstall that app. Based on online recommendations, I uninstalled Play Store updates and cleared the cache, rebooted, and now play store won't even load my apps list and closes due to an unexpected error. Does anybody have any ideas? Could reflashing the firmware help? I feel like there are probably other problems waiting for me to discover.
Thank you so much in advance
Okay, so I tried reflashing the NI1 firmware via odin, which at least fixed my ability to run Play Store, but didn't fix any of my initial problems.
Okay, I got it. The problems were all related to a corrupted Nova install, which was hard to find due to a similarly corrupted Super SU. I have no clue how the settings /notification panel bug came about. I will probably find new problems with other apps, but I am okay now.
My fiancee has a fire phone, and she's had it for a few years. For the most of it, she's been using CM11 as her custom ROM. A few weeks ago, she mysteriously got it, and it wouldn't go away except when she disabled contact storage, but then she couldn't make phone calls. She then removed the dialer and it caused even more problems. I had to fully wipe her phone and re-flash back to Fire OS to get her dialer back. I then put CM11 back in, and everything was fine for awhile. Four days later, when Facebook updated, it did it again. We deleted Facebook, deleted the cache from contact storage, all that crap shown on Youtube, and still nothing. She opens up Chrome, it would pop up "process.acore has stopped", same with PlayStore. I wiped her phone again, then flashed her phone over to SlimKat, wiped dalvik cache, system, data, etc. It worked fine for a few days, then she opened up Cortana, and it's doing it again.
What apps have you disabled or uninstalled and/or installed since last wipe? Did you set it as a new phone after tou reinstalled cm11 or slimkat?
Try safeboot by clicking power button, then click reboot. Hold both volume up and down button while it fully reboots. You will see safeboot logo on screen. See if you get same error in safeboot. If not, then a change you are doing after fresh install is messing up your phone. Do a fresh install, then restore/install/uninstall one app at a time to see which app is responsible.
Every time I factory reset the phone, it's fine for awhile until some random app causes it again. The cause is different every time. At first, Facebook was the cause, then adding another Gmail account, then Reddit. We'll try your advice then get back to you.
If it is fine for a while, it is probably being triggered by some system app such as Google play services updating itself. I would suggest disable auto updates in play store and disable Amazon store if you haven't already. When phone prompts you that app updates are available, update one app at a time, (if have titanium backup and rooted, can backup the app before you update it). Once you find the culprit, open it in play store and disable auto update by un-checking the option by clicking three dots on top right. I had to do that for google play services because it was causing similar issues. Your issue may be related to contacts as well as calendar (clear calendar data but do not disable default calendar app from amazon)or one of the related background processes that is automatically updated but the updated version becomes incompatible with kit Kat causing all apps that depend on it to force close.
Check if your Google play services is newer than 10.0.84 version at the time acore error starts happening. If it is newer version then go to apk mirror website and download 10.0.84 version, uninstall the newer one and install this older one. Please do update if anything you did fixed the problem. Thanks.
