I've notice over the last couple of days that my news and weather cannot display my weather which is automatically based on location. Also, in google maps, i cannot get a location, even with gps its hit or miss. Something up with location services.
running modaco's 5.05.3 based on cyanogen. EPE54B radio on at&t 3g nexus.
any help would be awesome. hard to think it would be rom related since it worked flawlessly before.
Can't hurt reflashing, backup first. Also why not upgrade your rom while you're at it.
Had this problem, too. Running the fix_permissions script in a root shell or using nandroid's fix permissions feature should fix it.

I rooted my phone for the first time this weekend and loaded Cyanogen MOD. Everything is working GREAT, except for one issue with Locale. When I go in to setup a a new situation it won't let me add a location condition. I hit the "Add Condition" button, hit Location, and all it does is go to a black screen for a second or two and then takes me back to the "edit situation" screen. After I hit location it looks like it's trying to load the normal location select screen but can't for some reason. Anyone ever see this or have any ideas why it might be doing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The app has worked flawlessly for me and I have always had root but I think the latest update made this feature not work which is unfortunate.
I installed the 4.0.2 Cyanogen ROM yesterday and setup a new location in Locale as recently as an hour ago. Do try an uninstall and reinstall of locale and make sure you're running the latest version of Google Maps.
I already tried un/reinstall of Locale to no avail. I just tried un/reinstalling Google Maps as well, but that didn't work either.
Any other ideas?
Try opening google maps and finding your location in there first. I did that and it magically started working again.
So, nothing I tried worked (even opening google maps first). I started to get more suspicious when I noticed a few other map-enabled apps would work as well (mymaps editor, weatherbug, etc). So I decided there must either be something wrong with the version of the ROM I loaded or something else I had done messed up something with the maps. Loaded the latest version of cyanogen and now it works great. Go figure.
Thanks for all the suggestions anyway.
According to the developers website they know about the issue and its being blamed on people with rooted phones. Their solution is to go back to an OEM build of Android which is total bull**** so I sent them an email letting them know.
"Why can't I open Locations after the latest update?
This happens frequently on rooted phones, phones running unofficial installations of Android, or phones modified in some non-standard way (e.g. running apps off of the SD card). Try restoring your phone to an officially supported version of Android."

Locations doesn't work on hacked phones, because the Android on these phones has a problem loading the Google Maps libraries. This is NOT a bug in Locale, and there is no code change in Locale that would fix the issue.
In order to investigate this issue, I've taken these steps:
1. Contact Google: Initially, this appeared to be a bug in Android. Google investigated and found that only hacked phones had problems, at which point they considered the issue closed.
2. Contact Steve Kondik (e.g. Cyanogen): He is looking into issue, but I haven't heard anything further from him.
At this point, there's just nothing else I can do. I can only suggest reverting to an official version of Android.

Since updating to cm 4.1.11.1 with the new 1.6 donut I'm having some issues with apps that use google maps such as the weather channel, weatherbug, and my tracks. On all three apps, when the map loads there is a blank grid section in the lower left area of the screen. In the case of the weather apps, the issue is in the radar map section. The blank area is in the exact same spot on the screen for all three apps. However, the actual Google Maps app works fine. If I downgrade to cm 4.0.4, the apps work fine, so I'm assuming the issue has to deal with the new 1.6 firmware, but I haven't been able to find anyone else having these problems with cyanogen's rom or the stock one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Known issue which will be fixed in the next build:

After the My Tracks upgrade it worked fine until I clicked <Send Now> when I tried to send to Google.
I am running the latest Cyanogen Mod., 4.2.13
Hello,
I am using a Nexus One with Cyanogen 6 RC3 on it. I have also flashed the google apps addon pack in order to have those apps.
My problem is the following; Two days ago I was able to use google maps navigation without problem. However now, anytime I use two addresses in Canada (where I live) for "Get Directions", the "Navigate" link never pops up. However the Navigate link is available when I use two US addresses. This is especially weird because if I access the Navigation app directly from my app drawer, I am able to use navigation between canadian addresses.
Just 2 days ago I was able to use navigation from within google maps and suddenly I am no longer able to. People have said to re-install google maps but I cannot seem to uninstall the maps application. Should I reflash the google apps pack?
Further, I apparently had auto updating enabled for maps but am unaware of any update that was applied.
Any help to be able to use the Navigation from within google maps within Canada would be greatly appreciated. I hope it is clear what my problem is, if you need more clarification please ask
Im not sure what the rule is about first replying to your own thread however I do have an update.
I re-flashed the latest google apps pack found here xttp://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/
The pack was the same one that I originally flashed however it seems after flashing now I have navigation functionality from within Google maps again. I am happy to have my problem resolved currently but I am curious as to why my Navigation functionality disappeared in the first place.
Hopefully someone knows or can explain what happened so I can prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thank again for all your time
you can try flashing RC2 back, couse many people are facing this issue!
I'm still experiencing this issue. I switched to Enom's rom to see if it fixed it but nope. My Google maps navigate link is sometimes available and then just doesn't show up other times. I am able to use the navigate app. I tried uninstalling maps with titanium backup and redoenloading it from the market, but I still have the problem with navigate.
Had an unbranded Inredible S running Android 2.3.3 for about a month. A week ago location services stopped working. Factory reset and run apps like GPS fix, still not working. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I too have this problem. (using an HTC Incredible S, rooted, using Virtuous Unity Rom, Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0), Everytime I run Locations it keeps saying my files are missing, when it downloads it, it shows my location in Chinese, but when i go to Google maps and hit the little icon to show my location, its says "Waiting for Location", then after some time it says, "Your Location is temporarily unavailable." Guys any help here would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

GOOGLE: the first word my kid shall utter!
This thread solved my problems and i now have super fast gps lock everywhere.
Not sure if there is a solid way to troubleshoot this as I am unfamiliar with Android app logs...
I have this app called MangaSearcher and I noticed after updating to TrickDroid 9.1.0, the app fails to make any kind of network connection. When you do a sync in the app, all I get are network errors.
To try and fix the issue, I tried to clear cache, clear data, uninstall and reinstall from TB backup, uninstall and install fresh from the Play Store, and I even did all these steps after a clean install of TD 9.1.0 after I reverted from TD 10.0.0 due to one too many app incompatibilities with 4.3, including this app.
Is there anyone that is willing to try installing this MangaSeacher app on a 4.2.2 or 4.3 ROM (preferably TD) and see if they can sync anything? From just searching for anything to actually syncing chapters available. The developer wasn't as responsive so I'm hoping for some crowd-sourced answer...
Otherwise, any recommendations on how I can troubleshoot this at a more granular level would also be appreciated so I can attempt to figure any future issues.
Thanks!
Just in case anyone cares, it seems like some user posted on the Google Play page that T-Mobile explicitly blocks traffic to the "10" servers that serve content for this app. Wi-Fi works fine.
