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
[10char]
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.
I posted this in NilsP's Business GingerSense thread, but don't think it's a ROM issue, more of a Google Talk issue. Running the 2.0 version of that ROM.
The issue is where Google Talk shows all your contacts as Offline after a period of say five to ten minutes, maybe shorter than that. I'll be messaging someone, and after a few minutes when they haven't responded, I'll wake my phone and open GT. All the contacts are Offline. A simple sign out/sign in fixes that, and the usual contacts show Online or Away.I've noticed this all week, so I'm thinking it's a GT issue, but I've never had it happen before.
Don't want to have to sign out/in every time I want to use it. Cleared GT cache, fix permissions, multiple wipes of data/system/cache/boot/dalvik/user data before each ROM install, and haven't had this before now.
Thoughts?
EDIT: After playing, it happens when switching from 3G to WiFi and vice versa, so maybe it is a ROM thing...?
i'm having the same issue. noticed after my gingerbread OTA update from verizon.
Droid 2.
It seems to happen a few minutes after logging on.
I also have that issue with Gtalk. After some time all contacts appear to be offline, but only when I'm on data connection and not on wifi.
There is still no solution for this?
Cheers!

Me too. Anyone was able to do something?
Well I've since moved on, and haven't noticed it on other ROMs. Right now I just tested toggling Wifi on and off, and the contacts would appear offline, then come online once 3g or wifi connected.
I'm thinking in my case, it was that version of the ROM I was running at the time.

Just a thought, check any task killers / managers and make sure talk is unchecked. I had the same problem a long time ago and ATK was the culprit. Haven't had the issue since and I have used almost every Rom possible at one point or another

True. Right after I rooted over a year ago, I had an issue with the alarm clock not going off intermittantly, and coincidentally I was using ATK at the time. After reading that ATK could be the issue, uninstalling it fixed the issue. Since then, I don't actively kill tasks, but I do have System Panel installed just in case.
I'm running Stock+ v2.6, and since moving on from v2.0 of NilsP's ROM where I had the initial issue, I haven't noticed/had the problem.

Hi,
Me and the other user are I9000 users. No task killers. We're trying to figure out if its a stock / custom ROM issue (since we're both using the same ROM), or some app forcing GTalk to sign out, or even a network problem (we both use the same mobile operator).
Thank you both for your input.
If you're on a stock ROM (you're both rooted right?), back up your ROM and flash another just to see if it happens in something different.

Yes, we are.
The thing is that it seems to me that it happened only after XXVJR (meaning it happened to me in XXJVS and XXJVT, and now we're already at XWJVU, all these being Samsungs "leaks"), and I have a friend with XXJVS that works just fine.
I even tried flashing a stock ROM, to see if it happens again. Testing that one now.
Thanks for your advice.
Same problem here.
Although I have not tried it with stock non rooted phone...
I'm having the same problem on a stock rooted Motorola Photon. Very annoying to have to sign out and back in to see who's online. Hopefully someone comes to the rescue with a solution.
Hi,
The only thing I could find is that the problem is, indeed, NOT in the custom ROM's. It's google's problem.
The only way I could get by was with an alternative IM. And, for me, the better is Trillian (taking battery, performance, etc. in consideration.)
I updated my software which included an updated gtalk with video..so far so good.

Mine got better with one of those. But it ended up all the same.

I am having this issue too. I have had it since the beginning, when I had the preinstalled stock rom, I had it with all the other stock roms I flashed, I had it with all the versions of Talk I tried (those which supported video calls), I had it with all the other customs roms I tried (Simplicity, CyanogenMod, MIUI). I never used any task killer. For these reasons I am strongly convinced this is a Google Talk related bug.
Some more details about the problem:
after a few minutes after having logged in, contacts are shown offline on Android while they appear online on the desktop client;
despite their offline status I still receive messages from them and as soon as I answer only that contact appears online while the others keep being shown offline;
signing out and back in fixes the problem temporarily, but it happens again after a few minutes.
What surprises me is how come very few people seem noticing it or being annoyed by it? How come a huge bug like this has been out for so long and Google hasn't fixed it yet? All the posts I have seen reporting this problem on Google Talk Help Forum have been ignored.
Exact same problem with my I9100, Gtalk with video. Very annoying.
I have the SGS i777 (Samsung Galaxy S2 on AT&T), and just recently (since late February) started experiencing the same issue. When on WiFi, it doesn't appear to be an issue, only when not on WiFi, particularly if I have just recently turned off WiFi.
Other "friends" show me as "Away", so I am connected.
This is bone stock 2.3.6 Samsung official ROM (never rooted UCKK6).
I tried crawling a bit through the logs (aLogCat output), filtering for "[Tt]alk", but I can't make enough heads or tails about where the failure might be (not being an actual developer), other than lots of messages get created. I'll see if I can't figure something more useful out about it.
A hard reset with no apps installed has the same problem. Though I've noticed that the problem appears to get "worse" as the phone "ages" - namely, hard reset fixes the problem, but it slowly (over days) gets worse and worse.
Update: I have not noticed this issue at all since getting the official Samsung/AT&T ICS build (IML74K.CLE5).
Google Talk failing for toooo loooong
Hi there,
I'm a cyanogen 7.1 (stable) android user, and I just want to join myself to every other person who's affected by this issue.
I'll leave here some links to other places discussion exactly the same issue:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=gtalk%20offline&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=24242
You may check this thread: groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!topic/chat/6m0YqHoiIDg
Until now, I wasn't also able to find any clue to what the cause may be.
Starting to suspect that's something on Google's side, not android/rom itself.
Maybe something to do with our google accounts' settings?
Are there any news about this issue? I'm having the same problem.
Anyone else using Skype and seeing this?
I have a unlocked, none carrier branded Samsung Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1. Recently when returning to the Skype app home screen from either a message chat, voice or video call my screen started looking like the attachment. There is a ghosting affect going on but it doesn't happen all the time. I also have a few issues where the program just stops working and needs to be restarted and I’m forced to reenter my password. After the restart the app does run normally for a while until I try to chat or make a call. This issue did not happen when I first got the phone running 4.0.4 but has started only a few days ago. It did not start right away when I updated my phone to the 4.1.1 about a week ago. I haven’t installed any programs since this started either, only a few updates for maps, locations services, etc.
I know that this must be an issue with this phone and android build as I do not have this problem on any of my other Android devices running various versions of Android.
No I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app yet but will if the problem persists.
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:
I've had my Moto 360 for almost a year now and I've had no problems until now. My watch refuses to connect to my phone and everytime I try to reboot either of my devices (phone or watch), my watch says android.process.acore has stopped working. This happened about 2 weeks ago, I factory reset my watch and reinstalled all of my apps, but it happened again today! I'm lost as to what I should do. Any ideas?
Process.acore is always contacts sync issue on android in my experience. Try clearing data on Google contacts on your phone. Also New android wear app updates have been terrible with so many connection issues at least for me. I always revert back to wear version 1.3.0.2139573 and this one works fine. Good luck.
