I have a Galaxy S6. I like to use a older version of Facebook. I have the APK. I install it, everything is OK for 24 hours then it updates to the newest version and its so annoying. I have the auto updates for apps turned OFF.
Why would this be doing this?
I don't know what is causing the problem but I would try getting titanium backup and disconnecting the app from the playstore. That may fix it.

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.
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.

When Google Play Services (GPS) version 4.0.33 was posted here, I downloaded and applied it without issue. Even though I wasn't having any trouble with it, I decided to incorporate all of my system app updates with Titanium Backup to open up a little space on my phone. I had a handful of apps ready for incorporation, so I just hit run and set my phone down for a few minutes to let it finish. I've never had any trouble with this operation before, but this time it hung when it reached GPS until I force quit TB. When I went to restart the operation, GPS was no longer listed as an app ready for incorporation, so I figured it had worked and everything was fine. TB hung up two more times after that on different apps, so I continued the operation 1 app at a time until I was finished. Geting to the point, I noticed I no longer had GPS on my phone later when I went to open an app that required and it told me I didn't have it. So I went to the Play Store and downloaded version 4.0.31 and installed it as a normal app. Then I used TB to convert it to a System App because that was the way it was before. But then it started force closing and none of my apps that require it would work. So I removed it and restored the original that I had backed up with TB, and everything was fine again. I decided not to mess with the 4.0.33 update anymore. Then a few days ago 4.0.33 was officially available on the Play Store as an update, so I updated that way. Ever since, every time I restart my phone it force closes 3 or 4 times, but then seems to work fine until the next reboot/start up. Also, I've noticed that every time GPS starts having issues, the Google Settings app icon turns grey*, but it seems like it still works fine regardless of the color of the icon.
Anyway, I was just wondering if I was the only one having these issues, or if someone has managed to fix it if you've experienced this? Thanks in advance!
* It was always green before this fiasco, now it's only green if I "Uninstall Updates" to GPS via App Manager since GPS no longer shows up on the Play Store for me until I have uninstalled the 4.0.33 update, and then it shows it's ready for an update...
I ran into the same problem after I tried to integrate GPS 4.0.33 into the stock rooted ROM of my Nexus 7 (4.4 KitKat). I had to reinstall 4.0.31 in order to get it back to work. After the first reboot GPS was automatically updated to 4.0.33, but I won't try integrating it with Titanium again for fear of running into the same issue. I used to integrate all of the Google apps that came with the stock ROMs as soon as I received an update. But with 4.3 JB I started running into problems when I tried to integrate Chrome, Earth and Google +. I recently got updates for all of these, but I did not tried to integrate them into 4.4. My Google settings icon is grey, but I don't know if that is causing any side effects. I was never able to manually update GPS via the Play Store. It has always been pushed to my Nexus 7 and SGS3. It would be nice to know what specifically makes these apps incompatible for integration with Titanium or with other program for that matter. For what I can see, there is enough storage space left to integrate them. In previous ROMs I have also used Apps2ROM to integrate apps that were not included in the stock ROMs. Btw, what version of Android are you running?
Ok, I'm having one of the strangest things happening right now with the Google Play store on my Vision. I'm running a stock rooted T-Mobile Rom, gingerbread 2.3.4, and it keeps redownloading and installing apps that I've deleted every time I reboot my phone. Any help/ideas why? xD
*Edit*
So turning off Auto-Sync in settings fixed the problem for some reason. Hope it helps for anyone having a similar issue in the future
anyone else having issues?
the moment i reverted from a rooted OTA5.1 to a non-rooted OTA 6.0 i've been getting play services not responding. I finally did the OTA 6.0 update 10days ago.
I factory reset and still the same problem. I experienced no issues on the rooted OTA 5.1 so i dont think it's a hardware related issue.
looking around, this seems to come up often but no solution so i guess i'm looking for a "me too" to make me feel better that it's no isolated and an update will fix it..
found the problem by using safemode - one of the widgets it seems. probably the 2x1 graph widget of battery info with the '3C toolbox Pro' app as thats the only one not been restored.
