After the ML2 4.3 update my GPs decided to not work. I tried so many fixes but none worked.
It searches for GPS forever.
I need to root to fix this but if anyone have the same issue or a fix without root i would appreciate it!

I am having the same issue!
So far I've:
1. Toggled GPS Off -> rebooted --> toggled back on
2. Cleared all data on Google Maps App -> uninstalled updates --> Downloaded the latest version in play store.
3. "Turned Off" apps and widgets that obviously use GPS, including some that don't, e.g. bloatware like blurb etc. and cleared their data.
4. Unchecked in the default Internet browser app the 'use location' option
5. Pulled sim and battery
6. Booted into safemode
7. Went to Samsung Desk at best buy to maybe reflash firmware but the device is not detected, probably because they don't have the ML2 (rep claimed it was because phone was discontinued).
Yea...

1. DISCOUNTED?! NOOOOOO.
2. I factory reseted. Cleared cache. Flashed ML2. No hope...
3. Chatted with Samsung, they said to bring my phone in so they can check if the hardware has any problems.
Just thought I'd post a follow up. This evening I did a full factory reset via Odin- replacing everything- and GPS still didn't work. The phone just won't grab a satellite even though everything else is fine/no physical damage. Pretty much blows. Hopefully AT&T will replace this because the Samsung guy at best buy was like mail it Samsung...but what do i do in the freakin mean time? I wish Samsung would send me a new phone and wait for me to return this one, even if it meant a temp billing on my credit card.
Also, a sidenote- I used Ad-Away on 4.2 and when I updated to 4.3 ML2, my Hosts file with all the ad blocking entries remained. But now that I Odin-ed 4.3ML2 full reset, I obviously lost that, and am now realizing how many goddamn ads there are. In everything! #EndRant.
I'm having the same issue. Worked fine on 4.2 and 4.3 mi2. It has to be software... I took it to Best Buy this weekend 3/22/14 and they re-flashed 4.3 without any problems. Still no gps lock... My wifi works but drops repeatedly every few minutes~seconds on my home router (Cisco e1200). Works fine on my work router (Linksys WRT150N).
I am seeing the same issue with GPS. It was working fine when I first got the phone, and now, after the 4.3 ml2 update, it drops out every few minutes. I went back to using my nexus 7 tablet for nav.duty. I am also pretty frustrated about no having root.
So some folks are saying their GPS was fixed by flashing the MF1 modem with Odin. I tried it and it did flash MF1 but my GPS is still not getting a fix. THe thread is over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691264

For some reason my Nexus One running FRF85B is unable to install or uninstall any apk's. It just hangs at the installing... or uninstalling... respectively. Has anyone else ever seen that?
Installing has always been really darn quick. Now it just appears to be hanging.
EDIT: Adding new symptom: "Manage Applications" shows the apps installed , but their space is forever listed as "Computing...". It's like the manage applications service is just hosed.
Randy
I have seen that as well. I would have to exit (back or home) then when I got back to the applications screen again it wouldn't have to load at all.
Same here, AT&T Nexus One using FRF85B.
The weird thing is, the app(s) actually DO uninstall or install correctly, just that the Market page shows it's not, and hangs at it.
When I force stop the market, then relaunch and check my downloads, they're now reset to the correct info.
Well I'm glad it is not just me. Thinking it was a bad ROM I reinstalled (with complete wipe) Modaco's ROM, then stock Froyo, etc.
Problem went away when I just said screw it and installed CM 5.0.8.
The only problem that persists now is the server error going to the downloads tab of the market. I can't seem to lick that one even though apps download and install fine from the market.
On a side note CM5.0.8 still is snappier than Froyo. I'm salivating at the thought of CM6.
If anyone is also getting persistent errors with the market downloads tab, please chime in. I find it suspicious that I'm having this problem regardless of which ROM is installed.

No matter what I do I still get the server error in the Android Market application when I go to the downloads tab.
I've re-flashed the Froyo Radio and tried both CM 5.0.8 and Froyo.
I don't see others complaining about this so I have to imagine there's something wrong on my end. I just don't know how to diagnose it. Does anyone have any ideas? At All?

I did see that in the CM 5.0.8 ROM, but Froyo is a complete no-go. I've reflashed the radio, and have been using Modaco's ROM because it is the only one I know of that is just a rooted update I can flash with Amon-RA's recovery, but still no luck.
This is scary.
UPDATE
I went all the way back to Stock, Unrooted 2.1 from January, and still get the server error in the downloads page of the Market app. So for giggles, I wiped, created a new gmail account, and lo and behold, everything works. I could download apps, and they showed up in the download tab as installed.
That pretty much puts an end to thinking it's an app/ROM/radio problem, I think.
I then wiped again, went through initial setup with my primary Google account and I'm back to server errors on the downloads tab.
I guess maybe it really IS a server error. Don't know what I can do about it, except gripe...but at least I can stop scratching my head over what ROM/Radio is installed.
After several days of experimenting, the fact is that on any Froyo rom, whether it's stock or rooted, google's or cyanogen's, wiped or not wiped, new gmail account or existing gmail account, what I'm seeing is that, even if I wipe, go into Android and DO NOT enter a google account, going straight to settings | Manage Applications | running applications, shows "Computing..." forever.
Now, if I do a full wipe, it doesn't know anything about my account, right? And the cache, and all that are all wiped. So, what could possibly cause the infinite "Computing..." in the apps?
Does anyone know?
It happened to me as well last night. I was installing an apk (updating over an older version), and it showed "Installing...." forever. No hardware button gave me any response and I eventually had to reboot the machine by pressing the 3 buttons (luckily this worked. I really hate the thought of pulling the battery out...). After the reboot I tried again and it installed without a problem.
I m on a stock Nexus One FRF91, never hv an issue b4 that latest system update. Looks like it is bringing more issues to me...
what 3 buttons reboot the phone?
The same thing is happening to me. When trying to install any market app, it just hangs at "installing. I have to reboot the phone to get it to stop doing it.
Every once in a while, about 1 out of 15 times, I can get an app to install correctly and quickly, but all the other times it hangs.
It started happening when going to froyo. I have tried several different froyo mods and the same thing happens on all of them. When I nandroid back to 2.1 it is fine.
It happens to me with the Rodriguezstyle mod, the Kang-O_rama mod and the evil n-one shot Noir mod.
In order to fix this issue. You MUST do the following steps:
1. Wipe the SD card.
2. Wipe ext partition (if there)
3. Delete spareparts if you have it ANYWHERE on the system
4. Reboot the system into recovery
5. Wipe all cache's
Tada! Fixed!
This fixed it for me on Kang-O-Rama.
I belive the problem is when moving ROMs and the new app2SD feature stores files on the SD. When moving ROM's, it try's to scan them but fails. Something is stuck in a loop and wont stop .
When taking out the SD card, it ALL works flawlessly (give it a go if you need to install some apps to help)

Press the trackball, volume down and the power button all at the same time.
If you have root then the app quick boot is a one click solution.
When I was or do have a stalling at the install. I clear the market data and this works for me. I also try to keep the cache clear.
So, I did the one-click root, which worked fantastically, and I downloaded Titanium Backup, froze the V-cast stuff and a few bits of bloatware.
I'm not sure what happened, but my phone is no longer downloading successfully from the marketplace, and sync has failed every time i've tried it.
I've tried defrosting every program I froze, rebooting the phone, and doing a battery pull, but it still keeps telling me that the network is unavailable and that I should call tech support whenever I try to sync, and the marketplace is still not downloading apps.
Opera works fine, the market itself has no problems showing me every app that's available, but when I try to download, it just hangs without downloading anything at all.
Any suggestions?
Did you try flashing the leaked ota? Try to get yourself as close to stock prior should you decide to try it.
Hadn't heard about an OTA, and don't know how to flash it if there were one. Would doing this correct the problem?
Further investigation shows that data connection is working fine, and I can update using google account. The only problem left is the failure of Android Marketplace to download any apps, regardless of connection type.
Try going in to Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, find Market and then clear cache and clear data. Force Stop it then exit back to the homescreen and launch the Market app again.
That was what the guy at Motorola support tried, except he had me do a battery pull instead of a force stop. No luck.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. Any other ideas?
Yeah...and this one will sound stupid.
Sign in or out of Google Talk. I had an issue on my Droid where everything I downloaded was "unsuccessful". Don't remember where I saw it but it was a google support posting that said to try that.
I was signed in...signed out and everything worked fine after that.
The leaked OTA is in the development section if you want to try it.
Also, I know it sucks to lose everything but have you tried a factory reset?
Tried the google talk solution, no luck.
Will try the OTA flash; all it will take to get me virtually back to stock is to unfreeze everything, since that's pretty much the only thing i've done since I rooted the phone. Is that all I need to do prior to trying, or do I need to unroot or something?
Haven't tried a factory reset, but wouldn't be that huge a loss as long as I back up my contacts and texts.
I have a I9000M running JVR with KG3 modem and CSC and speedmod-kernel-k15i-t8
When I try to download something off the market, all apps get stalled at 'Starting download'. This only happens when I'm connected to my WI-FI. I have never had any problems with my connection before a couple of days ago, then nothing would install.
I tried everything, starting Google Talk, disabled data roaming, cleaned cache in recovery, rebooted phone, installed the new market apk, etc.
My internet connection is fine, nothing else is affected.
Any ideas on what to look for?
Thanks,
Ian
Hey i got the same problem. Heres how i got it fixed. I first flashed with odin stock gingerbread 2.3.2, then i flashed with odin darkys 9.2 rezurection edition. After it i put to the sd card the f1 sgs 2 rom and it got fixed. Hope this works.

Try installing the old market.
You can either go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Market and select Uninstall Updates, or uninstall the market using TB then run the old market's apk (you can find it in Apps and Themes).
Some people have had an issue where the new market will tell them they have no room to install an app. When I was having that problem, sometimes it would give me the error, other times it would just hang forever at Starting Download. Therefore the fix for that issue is worth a try.
As for the previous poster's solution...I think flashing three ROMs is a bit excessive to solve this problem.
actually this problem happens in the old market too.
i think it happens more on wifi than on 3G... tho im not 100% sure about that.
anyway, it happens to me alot and what i do is:
1. stop the download and try again.
2. switch between 3G to WIFI and vice versa.
3. completely close the market thru applictions->manage apps, and try again.
and if all of the above isnt working:
4. i give up and try again tomorrow...
good luck!
Thanks all for the responses.
In the last couple of days I have installed JVR and KG3 with the same problem so it's not the firmware.
I have the market that comes with JVR and installed the new one with the same results. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the market, cleared the cache in application management and cleared the cache in recovery.
I download something and I only get the green striped bar saying starting download, but if I turn off Wi-Fi, and cancel the download and restart it right away, it works on 3G.
I can surf the net, send texts, download stuff from Dropbox on Wi-Fi no problem, just the market does not download apps.

This was happening before I updated to the new market, but did this also.
Thanks,

Can it be a problem with the file system? Where are the files put when downloaded from the market?
Ian
So I went back to stock KG3 today. No custom kernel, no root, no nothing. The Market still doesn't work.
Can it be something to do with the file system? Whether or not I clicked repartition in Odin?
Thanks,

Hi All,
Running stock but rooted (with Xposed modules) 4.4.4 on Verizon Moto X with an unlocked bootloader. (Flashed this stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2829123 )
Any time I try to do any activity with voice I get the error, "Can't reach google at the moment."
I get this error if I click the mic in google now and by clicking the voice text mic on the keyboard. Also, Touchless Controls doesn't respond.
After searching around forums I've tried some suggestions that worked with similar problems on other phones, but to no avail. I've tried:
- clearing data and cache of google search app and force stopping (lost my google now launcher set up in the process)
- removing my google account from the phone, rebooting to recovery, clearing cache and dalvik, rebooting and adding my account back
Thanks for any suggestions.
hi, had the same issue with one of the modules in xposed, ended up wipping the device and started fresh, installed xposed and gravity box, no other modules, all is good now.

Hmm, interesting...
I'm thinking it's not a specific Xposed module... I just tried uninstalling xposed framework altogether and then wiping cache and dalvik for good measure. No luck.
But out of curiousity, these are the modules I have installed: GravityBox, Exchange Bypass For Xposed, SingalIconsAOSP, Unicon. Besides GravityBox, did you have any of these installed when you had the issue?
I hope this doesn't come down to just wiping, which it most likely will.
My droid maxx has had the same problem since the update to 4,4,4 I have tried everything including a fdr ( through twrp ). Nothing has worked ! Moto has offered me a new phone but I don't want a new one as mine is unlocked and rooted ( otherwise stock ). I think I'm going to unroot it, put back in the stock recovery and try a fdr through that...POS !!!
This may not help at all....but maybe worth a shot. If you try and it doesn't help, post back here and let everyone know so nobody else tries it.
You might have some luck by erasing baseband cache with fastboot:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
You might have to re-activate afterwards. It is the only suggestion that might be relevant that you haven't tried already...
Good Luck....that would be a frustrating issue... :good:
Unfortunately I gave up and just wiped and did another clean flash and its working again. It was very frustrating not having touch less controls or voice to text...
Thanks for the help though anyway.

I agree touch less control wasn't something I cared about when I got the phone. But after getting used to it its hard to go without.
When you say you wiped and flashed. Can you elaborate. I tried fxzing ( saving data ), 2 FDR's everything .. Did you unroot then use HOM ? I will try anything at this point . Thanks in advance

I will try both methods and post back. Thanks for you help !
So I took both suggestions tried them 1st. I tried erasing the the baseband cache's via fastboot. No luck. 2nd I reflashed the current 4.4.4 stock rom via HOM, Full FXZ ( no data saved). !st off what a pain in the ass it is to reset up these phones from scratch. I setup my Google account but I didn't let Google reinstall all my previous apps and there data. I then went into settings and arranged things how I like them. Cleared off my home screens, put a few of the apps where I wanted them. I then went into the play store and allowed all apps ( preloaded ) to update. I then went back into settings and went to touchless control. To my surprise it worked ! I then went about loading all my apps.The usual 1's everyone has ie: Elixir2, FX filemanager,Poweramp, MX Player,Chromecast Panasonic tv remote 2, Google Wallet, UE Miniboom and Few other nondescript. Then I checked touchless control again and It was still working. Then I decided to install twrp and its recovery via fastboot ( 2.6.31 ) let it root the phone for me. Here's where it gets dicey.. It was late and I had had it with this friggin phone. I went and loaded all my apps that required root,Superuser pro, Dsploit, Busybox pro,Android terminal emulator, Wakelock(full) all the usual's. Then I went through and disabled all of the bloat. Rebooted and switched the phone to ART The following morning I went to show a friend how I had fixed my phone and It no longer worked ?
So I FXZ'd again not saving any data. Reinstalled twrp , rooted . Then 1 by 1 I reloaded every single app back into the phone and checked google now between every single install. Also this time I didn't let any of the bloatware update. I planned on disabling it anyways so why bother. I didn't install any apps that require root except twrp, busybox, Dsploit and #mirrorenabler . Also it's currently back on Dalvic. So as my phone sits now touchless control and all of its functions are working again. It's obviously a rouge app or ART Runtime that did this and I will narrow it down in the next few days and report back.
Is anyone having the same issue as me with one note? It crashes when I try and login every time. I am rooted and have adaway installed as well. Does this affect that app?
I am having this same issue. Just tried it on CleanRom 1.0.
I disabled Adaway and it didn't seem to do anything.
EDIT: This looks to be a bug in the new version. When I opened the new version on my old phone (android 4.4.3) it worked fine since it was already sync'd up. I uninstalled then reinstalled the app and it crashes whenever I try to login.
Hi, I was having this problem with OneNote and other apps with my Samsung s5 unrooted. I had disabled and unistalled the AT&T bloatware I was allowed to and had also encrypted the phone. I had so many issues on this unrooted phone, I finally had to do a factory reset. However, I suggest, trying to reinstall and enable this bloatware again and decrypt your phone first if these are options before a factory reset. These issues were present before and after the latest 298 MB update issued for that phone which is on 5.0. I am now able to use the latest version of OneNote. I did not disable/uninstall any AT&T bloatware this time. I just hid them. I will encrypt the contents of my phone again. I will see if this issues resurfaces AFTER I make a backup. Many of my other issues seem to be resolved to. For example, some of my settings were not changing. The only thing I use my SD card for is to store pictures and videos. However, a few bugs persists. Malware bytes keeps crashing even on a clean install. Hope that helps.

I don't think the bloatware is an issue at this point. The application opens, it just crashes when it tries to access information from the cloud.
EDIT: Just tried opening it a few times after doing an uninstall/reinstall and it finally works.. When all else fails, just keep retrying lol.

I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app too, but unfortunately it did not work for me . I am glad it worked for you as that is much easier ! I notice there is an update today. I am hesitant to install it because mine seems to be working now. Maybe their servers were down or something???
I have had this happen to me after a restore of the app. I've solved in by going in and clearing the cache/data for the app and relaunching.
I've done all of that and still no luck. Back to using Google keep for now
Finally got it working ! I tried logging in with another account and it froze up but I opened it back up and it loaded. Then I switched accounts back to the one I wanted to use and it worked! Weird
