[Q] Google Maps Navigation Crash/FC - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

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.)

OmniROM 4.4 Randomly Crashes

Hey,
Sorry if this not the place for posting this.
I followed this "Guide: and installed the Rom
Flashed TWRP 2.6.3 with odin from the Toolkit (selected the TWRP instead the one in the toolkit folder) FR and FS, Installed the Rom without any problem, rebooted again into dev mod, installed Google Apps, DATA WIPE, Reboot and SuperSU. Everything works grate.
The only (biggest) problem is that it crushes randomly. Cleared cache and delvik cache, after "opt apps" complete - Nothing helps. It's not a specific app it can crash on idle too. After holding power and rebooting everything come to normal
I did search on those threads but I can't find someone with this issue. Again, The OS itself crash - not an app.
Anyone can help?
Same random freezes here on my N7100.
Mine seems lock up/freeze more often when I have WiFi on.
I tried everything possible, every tweak in Android Tuner, still a no go.
At the moment, I'm on the 11/28 nightly after using Homebrew. Both present the same issue.
Just flashed 11/28. No apps installed.
Im also experience the crashes on Omnirom first dec nightly. Specially twitter. FC on launch.
I've got to say, I don't know what I did but the FC's stopped. There some minor App's getting FC's but that better then the issue.
Although maybe changing form delvik to art did something, My guess the problem is in the gapps, and after some updates the sys stabilized...
I still don't know the exact cause or the way to solve it...:S

[Q] !!! Bunch of google play errors on every restart !!!

I have been seeing these bunch of errors (screenshots) at every re-start for the past couple of days. I am running Viper Rom version 2.5.
I tried to run the GPE rom as well but i get the same errors on that rom as well. Not sure what the issue is but nothing is broken apart from the weather app/widget not able to find the current location. It just shows 'current location' instead of the actual location. But this does not affect the Maps at all, it pin points my exact location on the Map.
Can anybody help with this?
Sounds like a dirty flash, did you do a factory reset? A factory reset should fix that.

Yes i did a reset and clean flash. Still has the same issues.
I'm having the same issue on viper 2.5. Never had problems before. I even followed steps to convert play store from user to system app and downgraded play services to the latest 5 version, in which everything works well, cleared data/cache/defaults, uninstalled and reinstalled market. But every time I reboot it updates to version 6 and the problems begin. I even used disable services app to prevent it from updating, but still happens. Any help would be appreciated. (Forgot to mention that all apps work well but with constant error pop-ups)
Glad you wrote this. Been having same problem a UK rom debranded m8. I get the same errors restart but google play is popping up saying there's been a problem followed by a goggle services popup. I narrowed it down to either news and weather app or me just getting a new car and syncing with it. Filling in a zip code made the errors less. Still annoying as hell. Either latest google play update borked things or news and weather is causing a big fluke like it has several times in the past.

process.acore has stopped (clearing contact storage won't work)

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.

Play App Update do not install (download is ok ...)

Hi,
since abut 3 or 4 weeks I've more and more problems with my Z2. I'm on stock 8.0.0, not branded, pure Moto. One of my problems is, that Play Store updates get downloaded but then do not install. When I reboot my phone the app update which got previously downloaded installs and the the process got stuck again. Some time suddenly two or tree apps get updated. The the problem starts over. I've tried every thing I've found e.g. clearing Play caches etc. nothing helped.
Edit: a closer look showed that the download hangs at the last few bytes but some times it downloads to 100% but just does not install.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Try stopping the play services and store app, clear data and cache, then try again. If that doesn't see if the issue is with wifi or data, switch one or the other off then try updating or installing an app, see if the problem is connection specific. You can also try clearing the phone cache from storage as well. I know these are trivial suggestions, but it never hurts to double check. Might clear your storage cache and check the permissions as well.

Thanks. Tried all this already. May be it's liked to my WiFi problem as it seems to be "better" now. If the problem persists I think I will try to factory reset it ...

Strange Google services behavior after latest AT&T update

I received the latest AT&T update a week or so ago containing the 2.5 One UI update. After the update, I am experiencing some really strange issues with a variety of Google services.
1) Google Play Store updates are stalling. Most apps will download to a high percentage of completion (98% for example) and then just stall. If I leave the phone sit for a long time, eventually the updates will finish. This happens with every single app update or new download. I have 100GB free on the phone and it occurs on multiple networks (WIFI and AT&T).
2) GMail attachments won't download. They also stall at 0%.
3) I don't receive any incoming text messages when Google Messages Chat is enabled. Turning off chat and switching to SMS works though several texts say they failed to send and I have to retry (and they always end up going through). WIFI Calling is enabled.
4) Notifications from multiple apps are returning after I swipe them away. (Notification reminders is turned off in accessibility settings).
I did the usual - cleared cache in Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Download Manager. I cleared the cache after booting to recovery. When none of that fixed it, I completely reset my phone to factory conditions. Everything worked fine for 2 days and then today, all of the problems came back.
Everything else about the phone is normal as usual. I can't figure this one out and don't know what else to troubleshoot.
Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu.

Is that the same thing as clearing the cache after booting to recovery? (Volume up and power button)

That's it. Can work like voodoo on lots of gremlins.
If that doesn't get it try clearing data on the Google apps. Might have to take it back to the stone age but probably not.
Reboot afterwards if you do. Playstore is a pain.
If the OS hasn't been reloaded since Q was flashed consider reloading to get a snappy clean load.
My 3rd OS load is the best.
Although I'm still running Pie, it's fast and very stable... lol, I like dinosaurs. I don't update a lot as it usually causes more problems than it solves.
I had cleared the cache from recovery before I factory reset and it didn't fix it. However, I just tried it again on the new rebuild and this time I cleared the cache 5 times in a row and then rebooted. It appears to have fixed all of the problems. I wonder if it was a bad app update to Google Play Services after the restoration to factory conditions?

Sometimes you're better off staying on the factory load versions. I never let auto updates run.
I keep Playstore disabled unless I want to use it or check for updates because of this and it also is a resource pig.
Manually doing it makes spotting the trouble maker easier.
I also keep backup copies of known good updates for system apks so that the factory load isn't my only recourse if a apk been updated more than once. APK Export is a great freeware app for doing this. Backup all your Playstore apps too for faster and easier reloads. Plus if Playstore discontinues the app, you still have it. Been boned by Playstore* once too often.
*sometimes the software goes greedy, gets sold or there's a licensing issue. Either way once it's gone having a known good copy makes life so much easier.
Hello,
The same thing is happening to me but for several months now. I am in Spain with Movistar. The only way I could get them to update the Google Play APPs was to switch my mobile to "safe mode" and from there it really works.
I'm going to try a factory reset, to see how it went.

A reload probably won't help. It will very likely reoccur.
It sounds like a 3rd* party apk is the culprit.
Find the root cause and correct it.
It may be just a setting issue in a 3rd party apk.
*they include carrier, Samsung and misc others you installed.
