I've had to re-install Google Sky Maps about 5 times now. Once reinstalled, it works fine. But after a day or so renames itself to 'End User License Agreement' and won't let me get past the EULA screen, only offering the option to force close.
wth?

You are not alone! There is a workaround if you've got root access (it's deleting the cached version...)
Awesome, thank you.

Hello all:
I am having hard time trying to get google maps with youtube app installed. I am doing the SD setup which is all successful from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I have used most recent nightly and cm_encore_full-161.zip. After installing gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip, it gets all of the apps but not google maps or youtube. What I have noticed is that it errors out on at least 3 apps when installing all remaining during initial setup wizard after successful gapps install from recovery.
Can someone help me out here on what I am doing wrong? Should I use ADB and install google maps manually if possible?
Okey.. I should have read all the new posts like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218974&page=2 .
I have installed LCDdensity, set it to 160, killall, reboot, cleared data for market after force stop, works now.
Works but springpad screen screwy
Works great for market but spring pad screen is a grayed yellow when "my stuff" is accessed. Have to switch back to 161 and reboot.
Royal pain
yeah, the new market really sucks! I had to uninstall the update and freeze the market updater. now i have my old market back and now i can see and download everything
I use an OLD version of Maps. It's simple, I'm used to it, so I stick with it.
Recently the Maps app started updating itself without prompt, without me going to the Market and selecting it. It updates despite the fact I have "don't auto update" set for all my apps on the Market app. I disconnected it from the Market in Titanium Backup but that only lasts for a short time as you probably all know. I found a setting in TB where some items were set for auto update and I turned ALL of them off (including Maps). Then today I found it had updated itself back to the current version again.
I've tried everything I know of. I have currently frozen the Market app to see if that will prevent an update. But you know what? I'm sick of this, and I'm trying out Nokia's Here Maps.
Just for update purposes, freezing the Play Market app did not stop a self-update of Maps.
I then googled again, and found a mention of stopping changes to another app by editing the properties of the APK to "read only". I have gone in with Root Explorer and turned off Write Access for the google maps apk. That was one day ago, so I will see how that works. It's apparent that the update must be through the Maps app itself if not some push update from Google.
Try to use navigation from watch, sits at calculating route, then i get a "check phone to continue". Nothing is brought up on phone. I have reset watch, reinstalled google maps, checked all my location settings, nothing that i have done has fixed this issue. Any ideas?
Navigation not working
Yes, I am experiencing the same thing. Anyone have a fix?
I have also read that people are having same issue with the moto 360. Thats a good thing its not hardware related.
It Works..
I managed to get it to work.. On your Phone go to Apps Manager.. Look for Google Maps.. Uninstall Updates.. This feature doesnt seem to be working with Maps 9.xx.. It has to be Maps 8.xx... then run Google Maps on your phone once.. Make sure you navigate at least once as there are some pop up notifications on the phone the first time you navigate with maps.. The watch does not know what to do handle pop up.. Once you have navigated at least once try launching it from your watch.. Let me know if this works for you.
Talking with android wear support, i will post back with any news
amresh89, that did work. I passed that info onto wear support.
Downgraded to Maps 8, created a route / directions and then closed Maps. Tried on watch and it tries to route and the closes.
UPDATE : Restarted phone and it then worked.

Yes this is a known issue with google maps 9.4. which doesn't seem to be updated in many regions. Fix is to uninstall updates, download google maps 9.5.1 from this link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-9-5-1-android-apk-download/. Always healthy to restart your phone and smartwatch then resync the apps. This should resolve the issue.
Hope it helps.
Update Maps, works now. 9.5.x
Hi everyone.
I'm at a bit of a loss here. I've had 2 issues with Google apps on this phone. One is regarding Calendar which was force closing as soon as I tried to edit an event. Others on here had the problem and advised a factory reset which I wanted to avoid.
Yesterday however, Google Drive seemed to stop seeing Sheets, Docs etc as when you try to create a new document, those options don't appear. This also means I can't use Drive to edit any document however if I open Docs or Sheets directly I can access the same files and edit them.
I use Drive a lot so I bit the bullet and did a factory reset this morning.
Everything was okay and both apps seemed fine again, however for no apparent reason (I rebooted just now), Drive is broken again.
Calendar is still fixed but I have no idea what's going on. It's like Drive can't see that Docs and Sheets are installed.
Has anyone experienced this or got any ideas?
Aaaaand Google Calendar is broken again. I changed the colour of each if my calendars and unselected my Hotmail calendar. Force closes now every time I try to open an event to edit.
Just checked my Google Drive and it's allowing opening of Sheets files, also never had the Calendar issue, I have multiple shared calendars in action with my account as well.
no problems with either - if you have an o365 account you could install excel and onedrive to see if any issues
The problem isn't that I can't open the files though as if I open the apps Docs or Sheets, they'll open and edit fine. When in the Drive app though, if you try to create a new item, I only get options for an upload, photo or new folder and no sheet. Likewise when clicking on a text document, it opens in the built in Drive viewer but not the Docs editor.
It's like Drive isn't seeing that the other apps are installed.
Very odd. Not sure if it's related to the calendar issues other had. I've tried all sorts of combinations of changing permissions and battery saving etc but to no avail.
So I figured it out and it was my own fault - I was in the Google Play Services beta.... Latest update broke maps showing in other apps (that's what helped me work it out as it gave an error about play services updating) as well as giving my calendar and drive issues.
Posting in case others come across this issue!
That's a definite bummer. I have not yet experienced that. I certainly hope I won't.
One of the first things I did when I got my P20 Pro last Saturday, April 28 was to STOP all auto-updates, including the auto-update of apps.
What I have in mind, if was in the same situation, would be to factory reset the unit. Then deactivate the auto-update feature. I'm not sure if it'll work with others, though.
Have you tried getting in touch with Huawei yet?

So the effect I am getting is when I open the sheet from google drive it shows a previewed sheet, but not actually a valid file you can edit (i.e. it's still using drive not sheets) - you can choose 'open with Sheets' and then it does open in sheets. You can also open the web browser version and it prompts you to 'Use App' with a button. I can't get it to open into Sheets without an additional tap - it definitely did before...
If you look at the recent reviews, it's not just P20 pro which has issues with maps

I have rooted my s20 Ultra on Android 10 and 11. In both cases, Google Maps have stopped tracking my gps movements in the Timeline, it keeps thinking I am at home. It works fine providing me navigational directions, its just not recording in the Timeline. The only module I have installed is Energized Ultimate adblocker.
I gave Google Maps full permission, my phone is detected and managed in the Google accounts device management. I am not sure what else I am missing.
Android 11
Magisk 21.1
Manager 8.0.3
That sounds like the hosts file Energized is using is blocking whatever address Timeline is using. To verify you can disable the module, reboot and try again. If that's the case you can figure out what address it is and whitelist it.

I wiped my phone and didn't install any magisk modules this time. I drove around for 30 minutes and Google Maps still show me as being at home in the timeline. Another weird thing is that everytime I reset my phone, Google keeps track of the current device. Should Google being deleting the duplicates?
Update-trying to flash again
That was the best guess I had... Every time you reset your device it'll get a new ID, and you'll have to remove the duplicates yourself in Google's settings.
Some (yours truly included) would consider it a good thing that Google doesn't track your whereabouts too much... But, I hope you get things sorted the way you want them.
