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.
Hi all,
In China right now for the very first time and got my trusty Desire (running Insertcoin 1.08) with me. Worked fine the first couple days here but then noticed Gmail and GMaps started acting funny. I thought it might have something to do with the "Great Firewall" but I then discovered Gmail and GMaps worked perfectly fine in the mobile browser. For whatever reason though, every Google app seems to be stuck - maps, mail, market - and even if I'm on WiFi I either get network connection errors or the app just doesn't refresh. Again, all these services work perfectly in browser and all my other apps work fine.
One thing I have also noticed is a message that comes up periodically saying this version of Android does not support in app payments. This started showing up around the same time all the GApps started acting funny. I'm thinking they might be related.
Have tried restarting and clearing Maps' cache... Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

I attempted to download an app from Google Play yesterday and noticed the download was running very slow so i stopped it and re-tried it a few times. It then stalled and would not download at all so I closed Google Play store and went back into it, now I get 'No Connection' in the center of the screen and Google Play will not work. I have since tried my stock Android browser and I get 'Web page not available' and also Youtube and Amazon app store have similar issues. However, what doesn't make sense is that some Internet based apps work fine and Dolphin browser works fine too. If I switch off Wi-Fi and connect to 3G everything works fine so the issue lies with the Wi-Fi connection. My wife who has the same phone can connect and use the Wi-Fi fine without any issues and any other Internet device I have is still working as it should be. It appears it is only my phone with the issue.
I have tried checking date/time which is correct.
I have reset cache and cleared data for both the browser, Youtube and Google Play
I have rebooted my phone and my broadband router
I have tried changing the security settings to from WPA2-PSK (AES) to WPA/WPA2-PSK (Mixed Mode)
All to no avail.
I have rooted Android 4.3 but it has been working fine for over a year before now. I would want to avoid doing a factory reset at all costs as I have some important apps that can't be backed up with the likes of Helium and some other forums have shown that a factory reset has not resolved the issue.
Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
After a day of trying to resolve this issue I have finally managed to fix it. This may be useful for anyone else having the same issue:
I went into my Wi-Fi settings and looked for my router in the list and did a long tap on the name and chose 'Forget Network' so it removes my router. I then did a re-scan so it picked it back up. When tapping it, this time I was able to re-enter my Wi-Fi password and connect. After doing this everything started working again.
I've no idea why all of a sudden the network failed to work correctly but at least it is now sorted. I just don't understand why some Internet access worked and others did not. I guess I shall never know!
About three days ago my phone stopped letting me play clash of clans over wifi, I thought it was just the router needing a restart, so switched to mobile data and that was that.
The next day I restarted the router and still no connection to clash of clans over wifi. Tried just a normal webpage in chrome - worked fine, tried going on my gmail through chrome, worked fine, but anything to do with googleplay store, or syncing with my account from my phone and it just won't connect over wifi. Mobile data and everything works.
I tried clearing cache and dalvik, factory reset, downgrading to 4.2.2 no sense, then another 4.4.4, then a lollipop, just in case it was something to do with the google apps not talking properly with everything else, but to no avail.
Went into the router and factory reset it, tried different security settings and no change. Normal wifi just using the phones browser works fine, as does everything over mobile data. But nothing to do with google is working over wifi. My partner also has an android and uses the same internet connection and all is well, I have gone to a friends place and wifi with google has the same problem.
Anyone with any ideas welcome.
On my GT-P5210 I have downloaded NavFree and MapFactor GPS map apps. Neither will not open. I touch the app icon, the screen goes blank then the desktop reappears after about 5 seconds or so. I have NavFree on my XT1045 (Moto G phone) and it works just fine. I also have two Marine Navigation packages with NOAA Charts and they work fine. But I cannot get NavFree or MapFactor GPS to run.
Tried clearing the cache, clearing data, force stopping, uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same things happens. Not sure what is causing these apps from actually working. Using 4.2.2 as the os on my P5210 and 4.4.3 on my XT1045. Both apps work with 2.3 or higher. GPS is on, Wifi is on, Location Services is on. Tablet and phone are rooted.
Thoughts?
I dumped NavFree for Map.Me, a free OSM mapping app. Not as good as NavFree but it will do just fine.
I had an issue with MMS being blocked by AdBlock Plus. So I wonder if by chance ABP was also affecting NavFree. Guess we will never find out. Ha!
