Google maps suddenly force closing? - T-Mobile LG G2x

for some reason today whenever I try to open google maps it force closes instantly. Also, I haven't been able to get weather updates from weatherbug elite, it just keeps saying no signal, but i have full signal.
BTW I have the pre-dexopt patch installed if that has anything to do with this

I was having the same issue with weatherbug elite yesterday, but today the maps have been updating.
The MLS Matchday app has been force closing on me today, I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

Same here. Google maps, gmail and calculator. The only things i have done to the phone are root, and cwr from rom manager. I had to redownload gmail and maps from the market, but oddly enough, with a simple reboot calculator started working again.

I tried fixing permissions which didn't work
I then restored my nandroid backup pre-patch and now everything works fine. Looks like the pre-dexopt patch still has its' bugs.

Market Problem

I have been having this issue since oh I say about CM6 Nightlies 8/26-8/27 when the "Market Issue" crept up. And let me say I know that had nothing to do with this ROM per-say. I am using CM6 now on 9-1 nightly...Perhaps someone has\had the same problem.
No matter what I do using AppBrain or just the Market app I keep getting these dam force close on trying to download these 3 updates. 1. Handcent SMS and 2.Droid Battery and 3.Clockwork ROM manager. All of these apps I have removed and re-installed and then tried the market again...Still shows they all 3 need to be updated. Obviously when I am re-installing I am installing the last version I have prior to the updates that both sites say I need. Should I go into manage apps and wack all the updates for all 3 of these apps? Or is there a fix for the market itself? I have removed AppBrain and re-installed but that did not fix the issue either.
Now I have not been wiping anything on these nightlies I might add..And I have never had ANY issues other than the ones mentioned here. I have noticed the GPS issues as a lot of others have. But on 9/1 has ZERO GPS issues and locked in a matter of seconds. Also, I only can get ANY data via WiFi...<---A whole OTHER issue. But I know the fix for that. I just need to have my phone added with my Provider...Which is MetroPCS blah blah. I can get SMS and the Net of course now that there is a nice Proxy Setting which I hope that remains in the final build.
Anywho...Market issues anyone? Is there a way to wack the market.apk and re-install it? I have cleaned cache on just about everything I could think of..Re-set defaults etc on the 3 apps in question. Suggestions?
What I need is
Handcent SMS Version 3.2.9...Again I am NOT able to get to the market and I can't get on WiFi at the moment...
After further investigation ALL I need is Handcent SMS 3.2.9 I have the other versions I have NO idea why it keeps saying that I need to update the other two I have the latest of Gauge Battery Widget and ClockworkROM Manager. Hmmm interesting...

This is a recent and known google problem, not a rom problem. Google's servers have been overloaded, sot his is why the market is not preforming well.
i'm having a similar issue for quite a while now. probably over a month but i've just been dealing with it.
i think it started when i put cy mod 6 on my hero after a complete wipe.
i can not install any apps. from appbrain/market it will go through the dowload process and begin installation. but the installation is always unsuccessful. for almost every app. i've tried restoring from myback up, titanium back up, app saver. nothing works.
i was just about to completely wipe my phone & sd card but thought i'd take a look here first.
any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

[Q] GAPPS and Google Services Framework not working

Running CM7.1 nightly #165 along with Glitch v12 for some time and it worked really well. Just recently I started having issues with gapps force closing: "The Application Google Services Framework... "
I found a thread on the CM forums that helped: uncheck all google account syncs, reboot, sync each one back individually waiting until one finishes before doing the next one.
This worked really well, but the problem kept cropping up... updating to glitch v13 (from glitch app) seemed to make things work, but it wasn't on a clean install.
I just did a clean install of nightly #165, glitch v12 and updated to glitch v13 before restoring any apps, etc. Everything appeared to work great on home wifi, work on 3G, but when I went to bed and woke up the white bars were back and I was getting the force close issues.
Logically, it seems that this is on google's end. But it doesn't seem like it would last this long. Turning off wifi didn't help. I'm running out of ideas - especially without a root cause.
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339745 which mentions the google calendar causing the problem?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. The biggest frustration is that when this happens, no other apps seem to work. All force close soon after opening.. even the non-google ones (Angry birds, words with friends, titanium backup, etc).
Thanks!

[Q] Google Play Store My Apps Error

Hi all,
I've been having problems with the Google Play Store (formerly Android Market) where the My Apps page does not load (constant No connection message with the Retry button) when trying to access it over a 3G connection.
My 3G connectivity is very good, strong signal, web browsing and speed test are all ok.
The Play Store will load ok on the main landing page and I can search Play store ok. I can also go to my apps and slide across to the All tab on My Apps but the Installed tab just sits there and eventually times out. Note: Everything works perfectly on a WIFI connection.
I've tried Market Enabler and also the multitude of other fixes for general Market errors without success.
Please someone help. I'm rooted, S-OFF, Stock 3.32.401 firmware, Android Revolution 6.6.2 XE rom. I've superwiped and started again from scratch with the ROM and still the same issue.
Any suggestions welcome.

With "multitude of other fixes" we don't know what you have tested or tried so far
Have you cleared Play Store cache or removed your play store account and added it back in?
Hi talitainment. I've cleared Play Store cache, then cleared data on Google Services Framework, rebooted (cold boot). No joy.
Tried Superwipe and fresh clean ROM install, configured basics for setting up phone on first boot, reboot, then entered market and still the same issue.
I can get into the Play Store and browse, search, download etc, but if I try to go to My Apps I get the error (but only ion a 3G connection). On WIFI all is fine, no issues at all.
It's more frustrating than anything else and previously on ExtremeSensation Prime5 ROM all was fine.
Try to fix permitions in recovery. =) This should solve the problem.
Fix permissions completed without any issues. Reboot. Enter Play Store, go to My Apps and Loading.............. then..... yep, nothing.
No connection message and a retry button after about 2 minutes waiting. Very odd.
I'm tempted to restore my Prime ROM backup and maybe go back to Revolution at a later date.
If I do, I'll post back here to report if Play Store works without issues on Prime.
Might not be today as I've a busy day ahead.
I'm having the same issue on my X10. It just started the other day. Does anyone have any more ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Hope this thread will help you.

Same error with me. No play store on 3g only WiFi.
Tried flashing gapps etc that comes with my ROM but no luck.
Hi,
For most Play Store errors,delete the account,reboot,then,re-install the account.

GMail Keeps Force Closing

So yesterday my phone automatically rebooted for some reason and now GMail app keeps force closing. Every time I click on the app, it says, "Unfortunately, GMail has stopped."
I've un-installed the app, rebooted, and re-installed from market. Yet, still same message. I've done a factory wipe and installed a different rom, yet still same force close. I can check my gmail from browser but the app keeps force closing.
I can't figure out how to get this fixed. So, any advice or suggestions?

I have the same problem on HTC One X running Viper rom. It started yesterday and I've restored rom from backup, deleted all account data, deleted and reinstalled gmail and the latest play services apk, I've tried allsorts but still no joy. I got gmail to work briefly earlier after reinstalling everything, it synced all my mails and worked perfectly, then as soon as I closed it and went back to it it crashed again. I've read that it's a problem on googles side, so now I'm just waiting and hoping it'll start working again at some point over the weekend...

[Android 5.1] Hangout constantly crashes on launch. + "Google Apps has stopped"

[Android 5.1] Hangout constantly crashes on launch. + "Google Apps has stopped"
I upgraded to 5.1 on Monday by flashing the factory image. After the first boot and flashing root/recovery etc, I checked everything is running smooth and rebooted the device once more. Ever since then, Google Hangout crashes every time I try to open it; with this error -
Unfortunately, Hangouts has stopped.

I cleaned its cache, cleared data, uninstalled updates, updated from play store.
I cleaned all system cache from Settings > Device > Storage.
I cleaned Dalvik-cache and cache partition by going to recovry.
Nothing seems to fix it. It still crashes with the same error. From time to time, I'm also getting this error -
Unfortunately, Google Apps has stopped.

But all other Google apps are working fine. Anyone else having this issue?
Hangout - 3.0.87531466
Play Services - 7.0.93 (1778921-438)
===============================================
UPDATE -
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION​
After spending 2 entire days on it and flashing the 5.1 factory images 3 times, I found out that it was being caused by LBE Security Master's Active Defense mode. This is like a live AppOps. It grants/denies permissions to apps at run time. Even though I had given full permission to Hangout, it was still crashing for unknown reasons. But after I disabled the active defense mode and rebooted the device, everything is running fine now.
So, if you are using any permission control app like LBE or AppOps, try disabling that and reboot your device. Yes, reboot is necessary. Just disabling doesn't fix it.

I had that version after flashing the 5.1 factory image. I guess Google pushed that to my device. It's not sideloaded.

That is strange. I have the same version of Hangouts, but my updated version of Play Services is 6.7.76 (1745988-438).

I am having the same issue with hangouts. I've taken the same steps to try to fix it.
As part of troubleshooting, I momentarily disabled hangoouts via app settings, then I started to see the "Google App" error. After re-enabling I didn't see this error anymore.
I have not tried removing hangouts completely, as it seems this would break other things.
Any possible solutions?
EDIT: The Google App error is actually persisting.
My issue is hangouts keeps getting killed by the Low memory killer even though I have 1gb free ram.
I did some monitoring, hangouts Noe has to run its own process that I've never seen before and after a minute it caches itself, and I guess the cache is dumped later since I haven't opened hangouts in 5 minutes, I have to restart the app every time I need to use it. I also don't receive any messages during that time because the app has been killed. Any ideas?

Actually I'm using LBE as well and I suspected that it could have been the cause, and as you experienced, I removed all restrictions from the hangouts app and the problem still persisted.
My theory now is that a restriction that we've set on another app (or apps) is indirectly causing this issue with hangouts.
Does anyone know specifically which system apps could be connected to the functionality of Hangouts?
UPDATE: I've disabled restrictions on Youtube, Calendar, and Drive. This appears to have solved the problem.
Hangouts is working normally thus far and I haven't seen any error messages. Will update if things change.
I have a feeling that it's Drive.
What s
Is LBE? I'm stock phone sideloafed 5.1 and I have actually disabled hangout prior to upgrade now getting this error

Google play services "keep awake" disabled could cause it
I let all my apps keep awake in app ops and so on, but still have an issue with hangouts. It gets killed by system 5-10 minutes of not using it even if I leave it in background
2nd Update:
The problem is persisting again... my hypothesis has been disproved.
Any other suggestions or discoveries would be appreciated. I'm trying to find a way to fix Hangouts while keeping privacy settings in place as much as possible...
If XPrivacy was working for Android 5.0+ this issue would disappear.
I re enabled hangouts and updated it and not had the issue since
Play Service 7.0.96 from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/
Hangouts (+LBE) works fine by 5.1
Nexus 5 32GB, Android 5.01
Hangouts crashes occasionally for me also, and I don't have LBE or anything. I sideloaded 5.1 via nrt but my play services still says 6.7.76. Is that going to be a problem? Won't it just update itself eventually? Does the image not contain play services?
(I have the N6 but I thought the issue would still be relevant)
I had a similar issue, so I rolled back hangouts to 2.5x and it's working fine now, YMMV. of course this may not be a viable solution to you but a working older version is better than a non-usable latest version.
Cheers!
Well, the only thing I can think of, in my circumstances, is that I had hangouts disabled when I updated to 5.1 (I don't use it). So yesterday I enabled it, cleared data, and disabled it again, and so far no crash. Maybe something got changed in the update and it didn't like the fact hangouts was disabled. Again, your issue may vary.

The new play services pretty much renders your phone useless due to nonstop update wake lock, (read more on the cataclysm ROM thread, like last 30 pages). The only way to fix the wake lock so far is to flash the cataclysm ROM patch (idk if it will work with stock ROM but it should) and it blocks the wake lock.
See attached picture below, that's how bad the new google play services is.
As for hangouts I got UKM and lowered the low memory killer to a minimum and disabled laptop mode (I'm using elementalX) and hangouts works just fine for me now.

Sounds like I should stick with what I've got then! Though having said that I think gp will update automatically when it's released, being a core system component?
