[Q] Whatsapp location sharing since google maps update. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Since the new google maps update to its new layout whenever I get a shared location in whatsapp and try to open it I get an error message saying that it can not find the coordinates, I remember some guy on reddit saying this same thing the day the maps update came out.
I am in Mexico and all of my friends I have asked have the same issue, seems like a long time for either google or whatsapp to fix this isn’t it? Anybody else having this issue? any way to fix this?

Same problem here

working in germany. maps 7.0.2 and whatsapp 2.11.23

Hey guys,
Same problem here! I have the problem with other apps too, so I think it's a Google maps thing.
[edit] I reinstalled Maps, it didn't work.

app MapsLauncher (RSB sistema) fix this problem!!!!

Well it worked, kind of cheap way to fix it because now I have to chose to apps before getting the location but at least it works.
Any idea what the issue is here?

Yeah, that works but is not really a solution.

I had the same problem. But i have just updated maps app with the version uploaded yesterday at google play and now it works ok.

same problem on Huawei Ascend G600 and SGS2
The uninstalling of the google maps update works on both terminals. the reason it is not working in the updated version is because Maps searches the coordinates separated by "space" (eg. "12.1234, 12.1234" instead of "12.1234,12.1234"). i am not sure why it does this but i hope they make this work in the next update.

[Q] Google Latitude not showing friends

Is anyone else having problems with Latitude? Sometime in the past week, all my friends have disappeared. If I look at friends with stale locations, that also shows nothing. I uninstalled then reinstalled Maps and that didn't work.
Is anyone else having this problem?

By chance do you have more than one Android device you currently use? For some reason, I think my Xoom my be causing this. I disabled Latitude on my Xoom and that was when I started noticing the problem.
If you install maps 6.9.2 latitude will work. Google it and download / install

Google now not showing up weather card

This has been happening to my phone for the last 3 days. When I press on microphone on Google search and say weather, a card pops up with the current temperature and forcast for next few days with a voice announcing the location and temperature . Now when I do the same Google presents me with a browser link showing max and min temp. I have enabled Google now, location access, disabled and enabled Google now, but it doesn't show up.
Anyone experiencing this problem? Any fix to it.
Clearing cache and data from application settings and uninstalling updates helps. Installing the latest version of Google search bring back the problem.

Google search is Google now, I'm not sure why you are making a distinction, unless you are using google search from the browser which you shouldn't. When I type weather into Google Now it shows me my current location weather. When I say Weather it shows me the same thing and announces it with voice.
PS> Seems you are using the old voice search app. Remove it and just use the Google app.
I'm using adw launcher and adw launcher comes with a Google bar by default in every screen which is quite useful. That is the one I'm using. That brings up the latest Google voice. Kinda sucks it's not working anymore. I will not be updating the latest Google search. And there's no talk back either.
PS. I know Google search is Google now now. And I'm not using the search bar.

Google Services Issue

Hi there,
I left my phone on (i927, CM11, 4.4.4) when I was away and when I returned, I noticed that there are multiple error messages. They appear all the time, even after a reboot.
These are the errors I am getting:
Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped.
Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Unfortunately, Google Services Framework has stopped.
Also, when I try to log into Google Play , it says Authentication Required and won't let me retry to login.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!

Go into settings apps and find and open Google play settings.
Try to uninstall updates of it then reboot and open Google play again.

Many thanks for the quick response! It seems that less errors are popping up, but they still do. Google Play still doesn't work.

Which gapps do you have inatalled?

I also had this problem since the beginning of February IIRC. I figured out what happened with logcat: libgmscore.so crashes the gapps process due to an illegal instruction. Asus TF101 users also report this issue. That tablet uses a Tegra 2 SOC, like our phone, and it doesn't support neon instructions, which the latest versions of the Play Services apparently use without bothering to check for proper support in the CPU. So, at least for now, the solution is to downgrade and prevent updates to play services. See this thread for details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ee...to-fix-crashing-google-play-services-t3557521
It's been working fine for me since I did that, but I'm kinda appalled that Google is so reckless.
Edit: the right variant for our phones, if you're still on a 4.0 ROM, is 034. You don't need a system app remover, just uninstall updates for Google Play Services.

This sounds very promising, many thanks for sharing your experience and the fix! I will try it and post the results here.
I will also try to find out what gapps I have installed just in case.
Have this problem too

I had this problem too. I was running a custom ROM - Omni ROM 4.4. I also observed that everything was fine if I didn't update Play Services. However, some apps (eg current Gmail app) require it.
I have since gone back to stock ROM (ICS 4.0.4). The problem now is syncing issues. Not every Google service can sync. EG- Contacts, Keep, Calendar. _ they can't sync. WhatsApp and SwiftKey also cannot connect to my google account. That's where I'm at now. But at least, the phone is usable. It's the syncing problem that I was searching for a solution for and I saw this thread.

Late reply, but if you use Google Play services 10.0.84, as in the post I linked, sync will work again.
Update: According to this post, the issue will be fixed properly by Google soon. So get ready to delete those directories to allow Play services to update themselves.
use beta gps from here:

Hi all, many thanks for all of your responses. I didn't get to try Wr4i7h's suggested fix, but updating Google Play to the latest version today has solved the problem!

Google Assistant Can't Create Reminders

All of the sudden Google Assistant is telling me "Sorry, I can't create reminders yet." I've used this feature in the past without an issue, and use it frequently too, but here lately it will not work. If I go into the Google app I can set a reminder no problem, so it's just the Assistant app ... and it's working fine for my wife on her Pixel 2. I have tried:
Clearing Google app cache and foreclosing
Uninstalling updates from Google App
Clearing Google app search data
Clearing all Google app data
Joining Google app beta and leaving the beta
Removing Google account and re-adding it
Joined the Android P beta and the problem persisted (left and am back on Oreo)
Factory reset - several times, both restoring a backup and starting new
Ensuring language is set to English (US)
I even installed Assistant on an old Note 3 I have laying around and I get the same thing! So, now I am wondering if there is an issue with my Google account seeing this is happening across multiple platforms and devices.
I am currently running Google app version 8.2.10.21.arm64 ... any suggestions/recommendations appreciated!

Odd. Mine works fine - stock, P Beta.
Yeah, I am most perplexed! I have tried everything I can think of with no luck [emoji852]️
Everything else work fine - set a timer, send a message, etc. it just refues to set a reminder!

It was most bizarre! Kicked my butt all last night and suddenly it starts working. Really thinking it was something related to my Google account seeing it was across 2 devices and 3 Android versions.

AL00 EMUI 10 stable Google services broken

I recently received an update on my Chinese mate 20x. After the update, Google sync does not work and anyting reliant on Google servers is also malfunctioning. For example, WhatsApp cannot backup to Google drive, Google drive does not sync or backup and Google photos is also not working. I'm unable to sign in or switch accounts in the Google app. Tried the usual things like clearing cache etc but didn't help. I'm open to trying anyting and would like to avoid a hard reset. Anyone else having these issues? Any suggestions I could try? Thanks in advance
AL00 EMUI 10 no single Google relate problem here as before. Factory reset and try again

Thanks got the response. you upgraded and did a factory reset yourself? If so, is there a guide you followed after the reset on installing Google services?
Thanks again
It is possible because the China ROMs do not come with Google services. Just re-download and re-install the .apk file and it will be fine.
Google Play Store v. 17.5.18 Apk:

Thanks for the response has everyone. I just wanted to update and say that after doing a reset through the settings I reinstalled Google services and everything is working. As an added bonus, even my location history now works. It never did in the past.

you need Google Play Service

Google Playstore

you can find all Google Apps and many others on the APK Mirror Page.
These are the most important ones

I reset my phone and installed google play store from apk but location history still doesn't work, how can you enable it ?
Howdy.
Have you managed to solve this? My EVR-AL00 came with Pie and it also had Google Play Store pre-installed with GMS Installer.
Once I had it updated to Android 10, Google Play Store stopped working. I reset the device, got the Google Play Store APK from APKMirror, and installed it.
Now that I have sync issues. Entering Google account profile returns Offline status. Also Google Contacts don't sync and Goodie Books shows connection error when you open the Books app. I can't get any book, the app displays white screen when you open it.
Other apps like GMail and GPay indicate no sync issues, however opening Google account profile from any of the app doesn't display anything on any tab excluding the first one. Also the first tab in profile shows that I'm offline. While I'm not, as I can browse web, chat with WhatsApp, send and receive mail.
Any clues on fixing that?
