[Q] Google Location Service not Working - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone having problems with Google Location Service?
This affects several apps that uses Location Service such as Google Now and Maps.
When i go into google now it says "Location service is off". When i go into maps it says "Please enable a My Location source in system settings" even though all of my location settings are on.
Only if GPS turned on then Google Now and Maps work properly

Under Settings > Location, there are several options:
1. Google's Location Service
2. GPS Sattelites
3. Location & Google Search
4. Compass warning
I turn on 1, 3, and 4. Option 2 (GPS) is only required if you want more precise location if I'm not mistaken. The problem is that previously I don't need to turn Option 2 on for my Maps to be working.

Weird, those are the options you would need on for maps to work. That's what I use and I just have tasker turn on GPS when I open maps, however it works regardless if GPS is on or off. Maybe trying clearing app data from maps?

Yes, it works fine until couple of days ago. Here are some other people who encounter this problem as well. I thought it affects all HTC One, but it seems yours are not affected.

Exactly, glad to know that the problem is not on my device. Yes GPS works, but it drains battery faster.
I'm thinking of factory reset, but afraid that my battery calibration will lost and words that my swiftkey has learned will be gone.
What's the best way to do the backup? I just did my backup from the built in HTC Backup function to Dropbox. But I'm not sure that everything will be restored if I use it. Will it restore all apps, apps settings, photos, and contacts?

FWIW I'm on ARHD 9.1 Rom and stock kernel. Maps works fine.

At the same time as this issue, I notice the battery history is showing the phone constantly awake, also betterbatterystats is showing nlpwakelock running almost constantly. Anyone else with these additional symptoms?

com.motorola.motocare battery drain?

Hey guys,
as many others here, I upgraded to JB, and everything seems fine. However, one thing bothers me: there's an app that seems accountable for 15% of device usage (according to battery stats), it's com.motorola.motocare. Does anybody know what this is for and if there is a way to keep it from using that much battery (or uninstalling it, for that matter)?

Some of the system apps let you 'disable' them in the app details. Check if you can do that with this one.

How did you figure out it was a battery drain,
Did it appear as a standalone app in the battery usage?
Or was it using betterbatterystats wakelocks analyzer or something more specific??

for me it appears in better battery stats as "MotoCare - com.motorola.motocare" and is usually the second biggest consumer at 13%.
I think you'r getting it wrong, it uses 13% not of the total battery but 13% of the percentagem used by the apps alone.
I got rid of the app and had no problems...

well, the important fact for me is that it is shown as the second biggest consumer...and if I don't need it, I don't see any use in having it eat battery, no matter what the exact percentage.

Going to give it a try too, I have been freezing some of Moto bloatware with TitaniumBackup, but missed this. Might be a good find, thanks.
Option "Disable" for this app is not active (in stock firmware). You may only "Clear data".
There are two MotoCare Apps (MotoCare 1.1 & MotoCareInt 1.0)
Does someone exactly know for what Motorola Services do we need these files ?

I think I've found that this app is now called "Moto Help", although, com.motorola.motocare, still appears in system as a priv-app, and still sucks battery even after deleting Moto Help. So I decided to freeze it over after deleting data (apparently it colects information about how you use the phone)... I'm in the observation process right now, but it seems not to be affecting anything so far

... There's one thing affected. If you take a screenshot, image won't appear in notification panel and shutter sound is muted. Apparently it affects camera since it restarted when I opened it (after unfreezing com.motorola.motocare), as if it was used for the first time...

[APP] Galaxy Gear SMS - v1.5 - UPDATED 29.05.2014

I've wanted to start creating some galaxy gear apps that will ease some tasks and somehow make it worth the $200 price.
I'm new to android development so I can say that this is my first android app of this complexity.
This app comes in two pieces. The server, which must be installed on the phone, and the client which should be installed on gear. What the client does, is retrieving a list of text messages from the device and displays on the gear. You can also send text messages from gear.
Basically it's like tablet sms, but without all the background services and auto sync that will drain the battery faster on gear.
I've tested it only on a galaxy note 3 with 4.4.2 stock rom + galaxy gear with null rom v.23
Let me know if there are any bugs
Here are some pics:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Changelog:
v1.5:
Autostart service on boot.
Some bug fixes
v1.4:
Swipe between all unread messages in the notification popup.
Added option to resend a previously sent message.
Some bug fixes.
v1.3.1
Added option to preview message body in notification (check settings, by default will be disabled).
Now the client will display only the last 50 messages from the conversation to improve speed.
Changed icon.
Bug fix.
v1.3
Now you can send message to any contact from your phone
Receive notifications on gear - with option to disable this if you have gear manager
New icon that matches the gear theme more than the last one
Small UI changes on client
Small optimization for battery drain on phone
v1.2.4
Bug fixes
v1.2.2
Trying to fix some bugs
Added button for easily sending log files
*Updated only the server apk
v1.2:
Select server device when opening client for the first time.
Added button to start/stop the server.
International characters in contact names are displayed correctly.
Some other fixes in code.
v1.1:
Changed theme to dark one
Fixed problem with special characters
Fixed some crashes
v1.0:
Initial release
Beautiful. Hopefully something like this will be available on my gear 2

hows the battery life on this app compared to tablet talk?

it also force closes on my phone(popup error on my phone saying sms client has stopped...) when i try to run the client app on the gear , maybe its my phone nexus 5 with ART mode incompatible and franco kernel?

You won't see any battery drain on the watch, as all the work is done phone side. This app works flawlessly for me on my s4, so I guess it's down to your phone/set up mate.

Great app! I can reply to texts on my Nexus 5 I agree, the black background would be very slick.
I'm having a bit of an issue. I think it's sending my texts from the gear, however when I check in my texting history on phone side, the ones I sent from the gear aren't showing up there. And when I go back and open the gear (client) to check there again, they are not there also. But when I send one from the gear, it says it sent.

Hm, I'm aware of some force closes of the app, but only on some circumstances. I think at the possibility of crashing when the gear tries to find the phone with the server running. For this, you must have the bluetooth enabled and the server running on the phone, and on the gear you must have your phone saved in the bluetooth device list. Other than this, I'm not sure, a logcat would be helpfull. Meanwhile I will try to fix some bugs.

Does the full screen icon exist on the Note 8 for Youtube??

As in the s8 plus, while watching youtube an icon will appear to let u fit the video to the entire screen. Now on my note 8 this icon is no longer present.
When you play a youtube video a round "crop to fit" button pops up which allows it to play fullscreen.

Check for update for the youtube app. Or uninstall/reinstall the app.

Yup tried that already. I did a factory reset yesterday cuz of other issues
That is a bummer. I looked all through settings on mine and couldn't see anything that would affect. Good luck!
Had the same issue. Updated the Software in settings and now its working. You'll see that the Software update includes enhancements. Perhaps Samsung forgot to include that feature the first time around.

It doesn't seem to matter. I can tap anywhere and the icon will pop up on the right side.
For me some videos start out cropped, like some videos from Vevo. It says "Automatically adjusted to fit screen." Then you have to tap the screen to switch it back to normal. And others start out normal and you have to tap to crop.

Notification pain/floating apps issue

I've just starting having an issue with my stock Sprint Note 8. The notification panel/ edge panel and floating apps (specifically FB messenger chat heads) will close on their own. it's getting to the point of these apps not being usable. I've done all the basic diagnostics/app maintenance and reboots as well as reset all my settings to stock. this is a last ditch effort to figure something out before I factory reset. I think it's got to be an app not playing nice. The phone doesn't have this issue in safe mode. Just wondering if anyone else has seen or heard of this and if there is an easier fix than uninstalling apps or wiping my device

Notification panel will close on its own for me. Any 3rd party apps or themes or anything installed? Maybe noticed after installing something?

I was having the same issue but it was only doing it while not connected to Wi-Fi. So I started deleting apps that had to do with Wi-Fi and it worked lol.
Yeah... Thought it was gear 360, but it just started up again. I'll get rid of secure WiFi and see if that works. I didn't really see a connection with WiFi or no WiFi though. It's happening either way. Starting to wonder if it's a software issue

I redownload 360 and all is still working as it should. Is secure WiFi a Sprint app? Or Samsung.

Thank you so much for posting this! I was getting so frustrated with this issue. This is why I love these forums.

[APP][root] Android Auto 3rd party App Enabler

Since Android Auto 3.0, third party apps have been removed from Android Auto despite having Developer Options and "Unknown Sources" checked.
Some developers have came up with a root workaround to allow these apps to show in the menu.
This workaround is dependent on current AA version to work and has always been implemented by specific apps. Some even had the unlock button in the AAuto interface
This app comes to fix that all.
It will list the currently installed AA third party apps, and will apply the workaround for them.
Instructions:
1. Get AA in developer mode and "Unknown Sources" checked. (details in steps 1-7 in this thread). Start head unit server is not needed in my tests.
2. Open the app, click "Read apps". Check the apps you want to enable in AA.
3. Click "Unlock"
4. Click "Apply".
5. Reboot.
6. Enjoy your apps
The indicator of wheter the Chimera service is enabled or not doesn't still work properly, don't take it as reference. Just click unlock every time you want to apply changes in the list.
The app will be improved whenever I have time.

Wow!!! Great job. Thank you, I will test it right away. Is this still dependent on GPS version?
This looks good, and I think it's exactly what I am looking for.
But I have a slight problem!
I hope this is a relevant place to ask, but please tell me if not.
Suzuki Vitara 2017 (UK) with SLDA 1860
SG8+
Rooted
Google Play Services 12.6.89
(I have disabled automatic/background updates in the hope that I can restrict this from updating as I believe newer versions cause AAMirror to stop working(?))
Android Auto 3.6.583534
AA with AAMirror was working fine, than as is the case with many people, the "AAMirror" Icon/Option disappeared from my car's display.
I looked in various places and tried various things to no avail. First I ended up not being able to connect to my car, then even on my Android, AA stopped working.
It opens, sort of swipes left-right, then just freezes and gives me a notification every 1/4 of a second or so saying "android auto collecting feedback". I can't even get to "About" and change it to developer mode, I just get the big blue arrow.
So today, I reset my phone, reinstalled AAMirror, AA, AAUnlock and now AAuto App Enabler, but AA *still* keeps freezing and giving me this notification.
Hoping someone can help.
Am I right to restrict GPS to 12.6.89?
Is version 3.6.583534 of AA appropriate?
Are these two compatible with each other?
Thanks in advance and let me know if I have missed some detail you need.

Works with latest GPS, but if Google changes the way of blocking apps in a new update, it will stop working.
The difference is that other implementations of this method only worked with a specific version of AAuto, while this app will work with any version of AAuto using this method for blocking. This approach was first implemented by AAMirror and AAUnlock's developer.
Credits for him, even though he obfuscated his code and I had to figure out how it was done by my own methods.

I got problems similar to yours trying to use lastest AAuto with an old GPS, update your GPS.
I have tested my app successfully using last version of AAuto and GPS.

Actually, scrub that. I used "Play Services Info" to go back to the old version and update to the latest.
I feel bad for hogging your thread with my inane waffle, but will leave it up just in case it helps anyone.
Thanks for this app but i have one problem:
The app does not recognize Magisk Root. How can i fix that?

I have magisk v17.1 and the app asked for root permission without any problems. Maybe you need to update magisk.
Ok thanks. I was on an custom Magisk 17.2.8 version - reverted back to official 17.1 and it works!

It does the same, but applies to any app you have installed, not just AAMirror. And allows you to check which applications are currently enabled. You can keep AAunlock installed if you wish
Hi,
great job, Thank you!
Unfortunately, your app will not install on my HTC ONE M8, Android 6.0, root with SuperSu, TWRP.

Everything is unlocked and works with all other apps.
I can not install only your AAuto App Enabler.
Do you have any idea?

Maybe is Google Play Protect detecting the app is used to cheat their restrictions?
