Hey all,
I've recorded and uploaded the video for a reproducible bug that I encountered after updating to the latest Google Maps and Google Search.
Essentially, every time Google Search is manually refreshed, Google Maps seems to crash.
I've got a rooted stock Nexus 5 on Android 4.4.2.
Google Maps version 7.6.0
Google Search version 3.2.17.1009776.arm
I've already tried the following things:
1) Cleared data on both apps and restarted the device.
2) Cleared cache via stock recovery.
None of these fixes the issue.
The only fix I found was to downgrade to the older Google Maps app.
Could anyone let me know if they are having the same issue and if anyone found a fix for it other than downgrading the app.
Thanks!

I was having this same issue on the 2013 n7 as well. So I cleared both apps' data, then uninstalled the updates on search then maps. One that's done, I force stopped maps just to be safe. I then reinstalled the search update first, followed by maps. Once both installed, I turned on Google now first before even opening maps. So far, I haven't had a crash, even after a restart. Maybe the order matters, maybe not, maybe it was dumb luck. Give it a shot, can't hurt.

Nice, that seemed to fix my problem! Appreciate the tip
@arts711 I tried your suggested solution but it didn't work for me. I guess I'll have to stick with maps 7.4.0 for now. Appreciate the tip though.

Hi all, hope all is well. I encountered a problem on my OPO and I didn't manage to solve it, even after searching and reading relevant threads on this forum.
Currently my OPO (not rooted) is running Android 4.4.4 (stock Cyanogen OS 11.0). I am still running Android 4.4.4 as when Lollipop was issued many complained of battery drain issues so I didn't update. Yesterday, Google Play Services updated automatically to version 9.0.82. After the update Chrome, Play Store, Gmail and Google Now are exiting as soon as I try to use them. Thus, I decided to uninstall the Google Play Services updates and I manually installed a version (8.7.03) that doesn't cause the problems mentioned. However, this morning when I connected to WiFi, Google Play Services updated and the problems restarted.
Does anybody know how I can prevent Google Play Services from automatically updating please? If this is not possible, I am considering updating to Marshmallow with Cyanogen OS 13. Is it possible to update to the latter without updating to Lollipop please? Moreover, does the OPO suffer from major bugs/ issues when running Marshmallow please?
p.s: previously I denied both "keep awake" and "wake up" in the Privacy Guard menu of Google Play Services as it fixed the message "Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped". Yet, this message is appearing again every time I connect to WiFi.
Many thanks, much appreciated!
Hi,
I've got a high battery drain problem with the latest Google Play Services (cmasystemupdateservices causing the wavelock).
There are a couple of reddits about this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus/comments/4jmw74/cmasystemupdateservice_wakelock/
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue..._is_cmasystemupdateservice_its_preventing_my/
but no solution.
I'm running 4.4.4 as well, but my wife's Lollipop phone doesn't have this issue. Given that its an update service causing the issue I wonder if this is Google's way of getting us to upgrade!
If this was affecting all Android phones I'd expect to see more of an outcry about it.
Regards.
I too have this problem. Now have to rolled back to stock play services. Any solution?
Unchecked all in Google play settings
@pda1ey thanks for the Reddit links! Unfortunately, as you mentioned they don't offer solutions to our problems.
@vl319 did Google Play Services autoupdate even though you rolled back to stock version please?
@drmuruga I think Google Play Services still autoupdates with those settings unticked.
Thanks to all for your feedback hope we find a solution.
After i rolled back to stock version, it doesn't auto update until now. But u will keep getting message saying apps wont run until play services is updated.... But it is fine for me.. I tried to reset app preference, disable greenify, amplify, privacy guard but none of these work. Probably we have to wait for new update or reinstall the device

I will follow your suggestion and roll back to stock Play Services. When I manually install Google Play Services 8.7.03 it automatically updates to 9.0.82 after a couple of hours. When you had version 9.0.82 were Gmail and Chrome force closing? Thanks!
I experience same problem on my wife's 4.4. cm and on my 5.1.1 android. Google play services automaticily updated to 9.0 and since then all google related apps is force closing. I noticed, that if I uncheck everything under google play services in privacy guard, apps will work, but then my phone's battery will go down the drain . Is it possible, that Google play services update only, when I open Play store and not completely automaticly?

I am using official COS13 and its stock version is 8.3.01, older than 8.7.03 and it doesn't auto update to new version. and i have no problem of syncing contact, calendar, keep and etc.
@vl319 my stock version is version 5. That's why I tried solving the issue by updating manually to 8.7.03. Unfortunately, my stock version is not compatible with the Apps I use. Thanks for the clarification!
@ircman maybe you can update to a newer version of Google Play Services on your phone to solve the issue. For instance, update to 9.0.83 or 9.0.82. Another user (drmuruga) in a previous post suggested to turn off automatic updates in the Play Store. However, I don't know if it works because I haven't tried it myself.

Sorry, I wasn't exact, now I am using 9.0.83. The problem apeared when the Google Play Services updated automaticaly to 9.0.83. Until that moment the phone and all the apps were working flawlesly. I belive that is something wrong with the newest version of Google Play Services, or that they don't want us to block things like Keep Awake, Location, Wake up, Auto Start (this things drains battery really fast).
Probably the only solution for now is to downgrade Google Play Services, and to somehow block automatic updates for Google Play Services.
@ircman as regards blocking the things you mentioned, I think you still can block them if you want.
Moreover, you can manually uninstall the updates of Google Play Services to temporarily solve the problem. Then either stick with the stock Play Services (vl319 clarified in a previous post that it won't auto update but some Apps might not work) or install a version of Play Services that doesn't cause problems as I did. However, after a few hours it auto updates and the problems start again. Thus, you need to repeat this process (I am repeating this process on average twice daily).
If anybody comes up with a permanent solution or has some advice, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone
I have the same problem you exactly with "google play service" in 9.0.82 release.
it drains my battery and my GPS connection has become very very slow (over 5 min) while with the 8.7.03 release I had no worries.
I am also in version 4.4.4 and I have my wifi, my connection and my GPS data which are off all the time except when I need them.
If anyone has a solution I'm interested

My problem with Google Play Services 9.0.82 is not related to battery drain and GPS. On my OPO 9.0.82 is causing some Google Apps to FC (as I explained in the first post).
If your OPO is rooted there are some solutions on this forum on how to block Google Play Services from updating. tc

OK thank you for your answer.
I actually did a search on the forum and I find an application that seems to do the job is "disable service" findable on the play store.
Please update to latest play services 9.2.xx. It solves the issue

Thanks for letting us know! Just upgraded manually to 9.2.56, till now everything seems fine. I wish there is a method which can block Play Services from auto updating.

I know there is a feature in titanium backup that allows apps to detach it from the market. Wonder if it works for play services.
What happens is
I install a popular app from play store, let's say Facebook
Installs fine, but as soon as I try to run it it force closes instantly.
I'm on stock 7.1.2, rooted, only modification is AdAway.
Happens with a lot of apps, but a lot of apps also just start normally.
Any ideas where to start? What could the issue be?
I have a lot of random FC also. A ton of app updates too. Figured it was just a new OS thing...

Did you recently flash 7.1.2? and if you did, did you dirty flash it over another rom or completely wipe your device and clean flash it?
Solved, there was a bug with Android System Web View

Did you find this information somewhere? What did you do to fix things? Turn off Android System Web View?
Figured out myself, for some reason it doesn't show in Google Play, and as such doesn't update, but if I search for it manually in Google Play then I can see it and update it, altrough it still doesn't show under installed apps in G Play.
Cat logs do magic, I love cats.
After 5.1.9 update and rooting I notice force closing of some apps like:
1. Facebook when I click external link
2. LinkedIn on boot
3. Wish when opening my purchase
4. Chrome Dev randomly
5. Amazon
6. Gmail
...
Anyone? Any solution?
Tried uninstalling with no luck...
Many apps are almost unusable...
Ok...it was an issue related to an update on play store: Android system webview
And how did you solve it? I have the problem too
Go to the play store, check for updates, update Android System Webview. Done.
Hello everybody !
When after I updated some of my applications who was working perfectly, like Twitter, Spotify, LinkedIn or PayPal for example, via Aurora Store like I usually do, thoose apps now refuse to work. I can see the splash screen, and then they close immediately...
I tried to update via another .apk provider like APKpure or APPtoid, and still have this issues.
The only way I have for now to use these apps is to uninstall theme and install an older version of theme.
Am I the only one who ran into these annoying bugs ?
Does somebody have any clues or fix for thoose ?
Hi,
I know it's a while back, but if you don't have fixed it yet and for anybody with the same issue.
I have a Huawei Matepad 11 and had the same issue.
I used this video to solve the problem.
So basically if you use aurora store, like I do, you go to settings->apps and services->apps->AppGalary and force stop it. Then go to storage and clear cache and data.
Don't open AppGalary again.
After that then you can install apps again via aurora store. Works for YouTube vanced and other apps that you sideload from other sources.
Hope this helps.
