I have rooted my 1.1 now and everything seems to be working great. I have almost all my apps back to normal, but I am having some trouble with TB.
Every time I select an App that I wish to uninstall, and then select "Uninstall" it proceeds to do so, but it hangs at the "Uninstalling (app name here)".
Any ideas?
It DOES indeed uninstall it, but I have to kill TB every time afterward.
jep - me too... Just used google looking up for this trouble and it brings me here unfortunatelly no answer.
I am going to try that "use secure api stuff"-features in setup...
edit.
nope - did not help changing the settings.
It (TB pro version) hangs on my rooted LG E720 (Android 2.2) as well as on my rooted Samsung Nexus-S (Android 2.3).
(ah - and NO, I did not mess with the licensing. I have paid on both devices)
Mine Too...
and it also occasionally hangs on freezing an app too.
maybe your "app freezing" problem can be fixed by changing the settings!
if you enter preferences and scroll down to "troubleshootings settings" the first option might be interesting for you!
"Adjust this setting if you have problems when restoring or freezing/defrosting apps.
But it did not help for my "uninstall"-Problem.
well... after tempering some more with those settings (i.e select the middle option) I was able to uninstall several APPs now without hanging up TBP... And before, it 100% allways hung.
So maybe thats the trick.

It still hangs on uninstall on my Droid Charge running Humble 5.0 (and any other Gingerbread ROM I have tried. I have tried various settings and no luck. I have reported problems to titanium backup and received absolutely zero response and have searched the web and haven't found anything that works yet.)
I wish I knew when I bought AND recommended Titanium Backup that the company was so haphazard about what they support and what they don't. I expect to get, at least, a reply acknowledging my concern. Juice Defender had problems for a long time, but at least those guys would respond even if it took them a long time to admit to finally admit their was a problem.
I think I might've found the fix for this.
Seems like if I uninstall an app with the phone plugged in... all good.
If I'm running on battery, it hangs.
Every time I start the app, I get the warning:
Your system settings may cause problems. To correct this, go to "Applications" and tick "USB debugging" in "Development".
The USB debugging only takes place if your phone is plugged in. So I plugged the phone in, and it seems... no more hanging.
I didn't test this extensively, so I hope this is the fix for you.
So I picked up my phone today and it looks like some how Sprint took it over. All my set icons I had on my screens are missing. Sprint Zone, Next Radio, Sprint Music Plus and Sprint TV are all showing up now. Also they also all showing up on my list of apps, the odd thing is they are all at the bottom in Custom Mode (which happens obviously when you add a new app to your phone.

This happened to me too! Same exact thing! Also all the hidden apps I had in my drawer were showing, and it had reinstalled lookout security and kids mode and the rest of the Sprint bloat. Glad I want the only one that had this happen... Easily fixed but very strange!
seems there is alot of info missing... why was it with sprint? what were they supposed to do? were the rest of your apps still on your phone?

Yeh nothing else changed. All apps stayed on phone all preferences remained the same. Only thing affected was the home screen and all drawer. Even changed the number of home screens. All I saw before it happened was a overlay with Sprint badging saying update done then boom it was all changed.. don't notice any different sw versions or anything, and no tale tale signs of updated Sprint apps from the play store.. Had to be a push from Sprint.

It's just sprint installer I think. It keeps doing that. If I reset/power off my phone, it'll start to do that, because I manually uninstalled all of their apps. After the kk it seems to stopped or slowed down somehow. I rooted my phone recently and used titium backup to removed the sprint apps, although they are still in the ROM, seems to me they are no longer running. before rooting, I had been stopping and disabling as I could. If I failed, it'll wipe out my launcher screen.

Try disabling the SprintID app. I removed it completely and never had that happen.

carp! The same thing happened to my phone and I decided to restore from backup. Don't know why they messed with it. It messed with my custom layout...
if they updated you to kit kat it's the auto sprint ID pack that instals
Now this has also happened to me, although it seems to have happened in two parts. First I opened my phone to see some sort of Sprint updater message, and Lookout as well as a few Sprint apps were installed. I uninstalled them, and went to sleep. When I woke up they were reinstalled and my home screen was rearranged and there was also a new Sprint Discovery widget.
I saw this thread last night, before it happened, or I probably would have freaked the F out.
Just to be clear - What process is doing this as I would like to disable it? Is it the Sprint Installer, or the Sprint ID? Do we even know for sure? It's wicked annoying. Auto installing apps is one thing, but they should not have the ability to change my home screen setup.

There are four major Sprint related programs, and that visual voice mail, (at least that's all what I know of)
1. Sprint ID
2. Sprint Installer
3. Sprint Worldwide
4. Sprint Zone
While sprint installer and sprint worldwide can be disabled by going Settings/apps/All, and click and select disable, the other two can't be disabled, can only be force stop, also true is the visual voice mail. These three will start again in the running. I had been periodically clearing the cache and data on those apps and force stop. After root, I used the titanium backup to take them out of flash, I guess, they are still there in All, but not running anymore. But once I reset the phone, they will be back immediately.

sprint has some kind of updater app that comes with all they;re phones now I think,,,,remove it, or just install a custom rom with all that crap removed....
telling you, just disable/uninstall/remove SprintID.apk and it won't do that again. (Root needed to remove it.) Mine however did allow me to disable ID.
They pushed their crap out again this weekend. Wish they would stop that. I went and disable all that crap and it does it again

My phone is rooted.
I have uninstalled SprintID.apk and it just comes back after reboot.
Same thing with disabling it, it enables itself after reboot and still does hands-free activation.
What is causing this?
This is the reason I rooted my phone to get rid of this HFA since I don't use Sprint service.
You've probably seen a ton of complaints on the bad battery life after KitKat upgrade. Google Services is seen at 90+% in battery stats, and the battery is discharging very quickly.
Factory reset is reported to cure the problem. Many are disabling Google Location services. There's also a workaround suggested by Sony, to disable backup and interest-based ads, or uninstall the latest Google Services.
[edit Jul-1-2014]
New Google Play Services 5.0 is now out, and its APK can be downloaded and installed just by searching for it in Google. It's reported to cure the problem for some, temporarily or permanently. It's recommended to try it first, before going with the suggestion below.
[previous post contents starting here]
However, there's no need to resort to the above, a much "lighter" solution may work. I've attempted it on my father's ZR and it worked.
Thanks to grim_ripper for mentioning steps that I forgot.
What needs to be done:
1. Go to Settings / Security / Device Administrators, disable Android Device Manager, if enabled.
2. Go to Settings / Apps, disable Google Play Services. It'll ask you to uninstall all updates, agree to it. After disabling it, some of other phone services might crash. Don't mind it.
3. This step might not be required according to the feedback from grim_ripper, however I'll list it "just in case": press "Clear data", or "Control data usage" and then "Clear all data". Make sure that in the Google Play Services app page, it's listed as disabled and has 0kB data usage.
4. Re-enable Google Play Services. Hangouts will immediately ask for its upgrade, get into Google Play Store and upgrade it.
5. Reboot the phone. You should see no crashes at this point.
6. In case you want Android Device Manager to function - go to Settings / Security / Device Administrators and enable it.
That's it, Google Play Services battery usage will be back to normal, and battery life seems even improved over JellyBean.
[edit Jul-13-2014]
The fix might stick for some, and some will find the battery drain coming back after several days. I'm over a month with it, and everything is still fine. However, the results are mixed.

I confirm that this works, I didn't even clear data.Just disabled android device manager, uninstall google play services, enabled android device manager, re-install play services and finally reboot
Thank you, I completely forgot about Android Device Manager blocking the app disable. With your permission, I'll update the instructions.
I have just tried that thing you posted, will see how the results are in a few days.
One thing I noticed after upgrading to KK is night time for about 8 hours the battery drains 10% while in JB 4.3 it drains about 20% or more.
But the usage draining is similar to JB in KK. Will see if this thing works. Don't like to go to barebones CM11 cause I will be missing on the many features of the phone.
Let's see
It s working here too!
At first, I didn't even thought I had a problem but I looked in the processes and saw this f... Google service running.
Now my batterie last even better than when I was on 4.3.
Thanks

No Problem. I found out that this method only works as long as you don't reboot the phone after the fix, otherwise you'll need to do the whole process again. Mine went well until I waited till my battery was fully discharged before charging, hence forcing a reboot which play services started misbehaving again
I just realized a new battery drain problem, the Xperia social services keeps draining my problem

Oh yes, I have all these disabled. Perhaps this is why I had to restart the phone a couple of times already (changing SIM cards back and forth), and the original Google Services problem didn't come back.

I confirm that it works. At least for a week or so - after that the GogglePlayServices problem appeared again....
Dont helps in my case too.
At first it seems that it works, but after a day the google services are again over 75 prozent or so.
Thinking of going back to 4.3 or hoping that a fix will come soon.
Is it necessary to factory reset after update to kit kat to encounter the battery drain problem?
I had these problems and the only save cure is to disable the location services. Some times you would think a solution helps but stucked with an empty Phone suddely is a bad thing.

Is something known of a fix from Google for the google services?
I ask cause since yesterday evening the akku works normal in my case. Dont see the google services as first in line of accu consumption like before. Seems that everything works fine again.

After I disabled the location service I see the android system in the second line. And the google services almost at the bottom line. The battery usage still not very good.
Been through several reboots by now, everything enabled, location is used, the problem didn't return, on both mine and my father's phones.
The only thing worth noting is my phone configuration - not rooted, STAMINA mode disabled, Low battery mode disabled, Queue background data disabled, Location-based WiFi enabled.
Waiting patiently for the next Sony update.
OK, the method seems to be obvious.
Does it need to be repeated after every reboot?
I also do not understand why installing the latest Google Play (after removing it the way it is written here) is not bringing the problem back .
Thanks anyway.
By the looks of it, the issue might be caused by user data being present already in Google Services since before the KitKat upgrade, but this is some type of data that's not necessarily present once it's deleted. Maybe some sort of duplication / overloading of data from multiple places, and this changes the order of loading.
one word: AMAZING
after this all the lagging of UI and keyboard is removed.
I was intending to install CM11, but after this fix I think I will stay with stock ROM
Ok this worked well for a couple of days including the UI lag fix but now Play services is destroying my battery again. I'm fed up with my ZR (Bluetooth issues and all) Just ordered a Nexus 5 yay!

New Google Play Services 5.0 is out, if it didn't reach you yet - you can install it. It stops the battery drain.
Came home from dinner tonight and set my phone down on the nightstand, went downstairs. Came back up, phone is dead...plugged in, but now I can't do anything. Every time it boots (even in safe mode) I get process system not responding and the phone is stuck. I can't do anything from this point.
No issues at all up to this point...it's like the phone just randomly self destructed. What do I do? I'm still on 5.1, no recent backup because like I said I had been having no issues at all....I am rooted with xposed, amplify and greenify, if that makes a difference. Stock 5.1 otherwise...
I did try booting to recovery and wiping cache...no dice. Did the android is starting with upgrading apps thing, but then back to this nonsense again...
HELP PLEASE!
Install a ROM or flash factory image with fastboot.
Assuming you left USB Debugging and OEM Unlock enabled in Developer Options, your best bet is to flash a new ROM.
EDIT: @scryan beat me to it.
interestingly, i was able to get it to boot long enough this morning to (slowly, between all the 'not responding' messages) get it to disable everything in xposed and reboot again...now it seems to be working. seems something in one of the xposed modules completely borked the system. any idea how that could happen after running smoothly forever really?
also strange, it seems most of my settings have gone back to factory...for example, i use chomp for sms, but on the reboot it's bringing up both chomp and messenger notifications (even though i had chomp set as the default SMS client).
edit: it was amplify causing the issues, it seems. there must be something in the new version that fubar'd my phone. i turned every module back on except amplify, and the phone is good again...

Perfect chance to update to 6.0
Related to the problem posted here.
tl;dr - After upgrading to MM, any updates to Google apps are lost after reboot.
I dealt with this issue by deleting apps and installing fresh from the Play Store. This presented a new problem: those same apps had to be reconfigured after every reboot. Gmail, Photos... even Pokemon Go had to be setup all over every time.
Recently, I've noticed that apps are just randomly deleting themselves. I lost T-mobile Tuesdays, Yelp and some other apps. I don't notice they're gone until I need them.
It seems like MM just can't retain some data, like installed apps, between reboots. I've tried clearing caches, factory reboots and re-Odining... I'm at a loss as to what to try next. I'm about to revert to my LL nandroid backup because this phone has become a pain to use.
