[Q] Google Maps Installing Problem - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

About 2-3 weeks ago I went into the Android Market to do an update on the google maps. I clicked install and left the phone to do its thing.
I only noticed yesterday that the Google Maps update is still showing as installing (3 weeks later)
It won't let me stop the install or do anything with it. I think this is affecting other issues I had downloading other apps as they are also saying installing but nothing is happening. I can stop them but I can't stop the Google Maps update.
Can anyone tell me how I can stop this install!

Google Sync stopped working

I noticed today that I haven't gotten any of my emails pushed to my phone. I checked Settings > Accounts & sync > Google and the last time my stuff was synced was yesterday, Thu, Jul 22 at 3:24 pm. Nothing happens when I click on Sync now. Similarly, nothing happens if I go to the Calendar or Gmail app and click on Sync. I don't know if this is relevant, but sometime yesterday my phone started telling me my phone storage space is running low. It's at about 14.3 MB. Could this somehow be preventing the sync? I restarted my phone to no avail.
And now my Market refuses to download or update any apps. They just get stuck at "Starting download..." Also, my Market looks very different from normal!
1) The rightmost button used to be "Downloads," not Sprint!
2) I can only get to my downloads by pressing Menu.
3) Clicking on Sprint brings a section I've never seen before! It's just a list of apps, but until now I have never seen it.
This isn't a local data outage because other data apps are working.
Exactly the same thing has happened to me but I'm not rooted. Just Sprint/HTC Android 2.1.
Was updating apps and market started acting flaky, then the Sprint tab appeared. Rebooted updated more apps, no problem. Tried to install Nook which is a large app, got message that install failed due to corrupted file. From that point on low memory notification stays on even after removing an app. Tried installing Nook again to uninstall thinking the failed install left something in the memory. No luck even downloading now.
Can't download and sync won't work even after rebooting and renewing Profile. And low memory notification stays on. In hindsight I noticed the low memory notification popping on somewhat frequently the last few weeks when in fact there was no real memory problem.
Came here thinking it's time to root my Hero and upgrade to 2.2 since Sprint has announced no more upgrades for the Hero.

[XT860] Google Maps crashes Phone

I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing a similar issue. It is a common occurance for me, and here is how one could try and reproduce the issue:
1) Open google maps, search for a place, call it.
2) Go to another application on the phone for a little while, do something different
3) Try loading google maps again, it acts quite sluggish and then starts to load then restart!
I have noticed this problem since I got my phone, even past all of the Google Maps updates, and all of the OS updates, and remembered it happened when I was on the Brazilian verison as well.

GPS Issues - unable to locate

I'm very recently (1 week or 2 max) facing issues with GPS/Geolocation on my Nexus 6. Any app requiring location, GMaps, Uber, what-have-you, does not detect my current location. GMaps shows a toast, Waiting for location. Other apps error out or keep waiting.
I can't be sure but the issue definitely started sometime around the time after I installed the Feb updates.
Now some weird observations :
1. All of a sudden, one in maybe 20 times, it stays working.
2. Again, all of a sudden, it promotes to recalibrate the compass and it starts working.
3. It stops working again after subsequently relaunching GMaps.
4. Works in Safe Mode! But I Uninstalled most of recently installed apps (I don't have a lot) yet doesn't work, so not sure if it's a 3rd party app causing this.
5. Installed some so-called GPS Fixing apps, they themselves are stuck at locating.
Anybody else ?
Anything to try?
Yes I'll do a factory reset or service replacement if nothing works so please avoid such suggestions.
I was having the same issues after Feb. Update phone locking up and freezing randomly unable to get geolocation on battery saving. I redownloaded the newest from Google and reflashed system image and radiio and bam performance back along with location.
Long story shkrt, probably a bad download

Thanks.
Bad download over OTA?
"reflashed system image and radiio"
I don't have a working system image backed up.
And reflashed radio? I didn't get that part...

[Q] google play services keeps force closing after 17.1 update

Hi everyone,
I am on essential phone oreo 8.1. Ever since updating magisk from 16 to 17,1 my google play services keep crashing. Has anybody experienced the same thing? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you.
For me it started happening with youtube and now google services, deleted cache, rolled back and upgraded google play service many times but nothing fixed it, it removes your accounts too wo now im frozen on checking info, it starts working after a while but takes a long time sigh. I'm on xperia z2 tablet, gonna look how to downgrade magisk if possible because I don't know what else it could be, google led me to this post, it's last thing I updated before this all started happening
Edit: seems to have stopped with new magisk manager update

Strange Netflix Playstore Update

Just got my 9T Pro, everything seems to be fine, all working well and have received a couple of system updates since I received it. There is one strange thing with Netflix. If I go into PlayStore and check for updates it indicates that there is an update for Netflix but it's only 2.9 MB large. If I click on the update it seems to download something but nothing installs and it goes back to indicating there is a Netflix update. If I close out completely from PlayStore and go back in, the first time I check for updates it says there are none. If I refresh, then the 2.9MB update appears again. I've also done a delete and re-install but no effect, problem comes back.
The version of Netflix that is installed is Version 7.40.0 build 20 34657. In addition, it seems to work fine.
It's not a big deal, cause Netflix works but I've never seen this behaviour before.
Any ideas or thoughts?
The problem with NetFlix went away, all was fine for a few weeks and now I get a 77kb download for Instagram that never installs. Just keeps failing. Any ideas as to how to fix this? I've restarted but nothing.
It is a Play Store bug that causes to loop some apps' updates. Try cleaning app cache but it will go away after few weeks.
