New Foursquare Update Breaks GPS. (OLD APK LINKS HERE THAT WORK)

Noticed with the newest update of foursquare my GPS is broken. At first I thought it was a rom problem but later realized it was the app. So here is a website with all the previous versions. 12/21/11 works best for GPS lock. Just make sure to clear data and uninstall your current foursquare app, install and login then reboot. Your GPS won't lock right away sometimes unless u reboot after install.

Not to be an ass, but the latest update FIXED this bug.
I also had the GPs bug, after an app update, but like two days ago they re-updated the app, fixing this
Before downgrading, check your market, it could be already fixed!
Thanks anyway, Greenlava7!

I was getting no GPS even with the new update . This fixed it.

Thank You
The latest update screwed the gps for most of the phones on the market. This fixed my problem. Thx again!

Google Play/ Play Store, Server Error !

Since updating from Market to Google Play Store, I have been having different issues with it.
There are alot of Force Closes, a lot of apps 'Are not avaialable on my country..." and what is mostly making me mad, is that it has stopped working since 2 days.
It shows 'Server Error |Retry|'
I have read a lot about this and it seems like Google has made it unavailable to some countries.
Some other usesrs of different phones, have already fixed the issue by creating an app called 'MarketEnabler.apk" I tried installing that app on my Mini, but it doesnt install, reboots my phone in the process.
They seem to have another option for those with unrooted phones, which by connecting to a VPN server.
I also tried that in my brothers unrooted Mini, but it didnt work too.
I would like to know if others have this issue too and if they can help fixing this ..
Thanks for your time.

Google play have new security features and it checks the app compatibility in an advanced manner in newer version there are many compatibility check which will show most of apps unavailable so please downgrade the version of market

Try removing the update (in applications -> all -> market).

Or you could try wiping the application's data. Settings> applications> manage applications> google play store (under all)> clear data.

not everyone.. had 3.5.15 installed and had not a single server error..

I meant every one in my country.
In some forums they say it is happening in different countries, and that Google has disabled it for some time.

I got a phone a couple of days ago, and Market still not working.
So, it's a country thing ?

reinstall Gapps and wipe data

re-install Google play store then wipe data

Try changing your 'Local' settings to the default, load market, close it, set Local settings back and try again. (if the stock language is the one you're using, try switching to something else)

None worked.
Fortunately Google decided to fix this issue and everyone in my country has now a working Google Play.
Oh and by the way, it seems they have decided to once again change its name, now it is Google Play Shop

Unable to contact location service to update your current location

I unlocked my Rogers HTC One the other day and now I'm seeing this error when I try to use location aware apps such as the camera and when I refresh my weather. GPS seems to work fine in apps like maps but the phone no longer seems to know where I am. Any ideas? This is annoying and also means my camera is no longer creating events based on my location.

Having the same issue, with my still stock HTC one. Anyone has a solution? :/

There is another thread on here reporting same problem and have seen this mentioned on other forums too.
It seems to be a bug in the latest app updates from Google. Don't think there is a fix for this yet but some users reported a factory reset fixes the problem, but I am hoping for a quick fix from Google rather than resorting to reset
It is very frustrating tho! Btw I'm also on stock Rom

If you now soft reset your device does Google Location Services stop working again?

[Q] Location detecting error !!

Hi people !
Since few hours ago I get a error in google maps which says please enable a location services in the setting. It used to be fine before that.
The wireless option is checked, gps is off as always. Also the option for accessing is on in accounts and services. All other apps are also having problem finding my location while connected to a wireless network/LTE/3G.
I googled every where and couldn't find a solution.
I uninstalled/erased user data/restarted google maps and also turned off and on my phone, still no help.
Any solution to this ? Thank You !!

Unfortunately no solution, but I can report the same problem.
After trying everything without success, I did a factory reset. Now Google maps location via network is working again, but other services still have problems, such as news&weather, browser location etc.
I guess there was a bug introduced with some of the new Google apps...

Thank you for your response.
So even no luck after the factory reset ? Then I guess the best solution is to contact Google directly and report the porblem.
I think I got this problem after updating google search

Anyone else having this problem or has a solution to it ?

I am also having this problem. Just started today. I updated some Google apps recently too.
I've tried everything but a factory reset but still no luck. If it's a bug I hope they release an update soon

Same problem here in Canada. I wonder it is related to the roll out of their new Google location services : http://mashable.com/2013/05/15/google-location-services/

Same problem here since a few days! Hoping for a fix soon.

So I guess it's a common problem.
When I turn on my GPS instantly, even indoors, maps finds my location right away. I guess it's probably a small bug.

İ have same issue too. Last night have had taken some pics.all have sattelite info . But this morning get some pics doesnt have any info.
By the way facebook doesnt shows location info on my posts.
Neighter instagram so on. .from turkey
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------
When I turn on GPS pics can have coordinats even there is no GPS signal.

It's an issue caused by the latest Google search update. I have the same issue on my phone. Beautiful widgets is draining my battery because it can't find a location. Really frustrating.

how strange, i did not make any update.

Same problem here with my htc one. After going back to factory settings it worked fine for a couple of days. But now the troubles are back again. Really frustrating. I can imagine it has something to do with an update of Google search. It was updated May15th. Approximately then the trouble started. Come on google!

Hi everyone,
Couldn't see an update on this anywhere so thought I would share this with you as I've come across this post which is some good news saying this location problem is fixed:

Hi folks,
Thanks for your help and patience while we investigated your reports.
We've determined that for some users running Android 4.1, the latest update to Google Play services caused Google's location service to stop working in some cases.
For those specific users where Google's location service wasn’t working correctly, we pushed an update which fixes this.
To get the update:
1. Open the Play Store app (version 4.1.10) on your device
2. Restart your device after 1-2 minutes
To verify that the fix has worked, you can open Google Earth, which should give a location fix after you restart the device.
Note:
- Your device will need an active network connection in order for these steps to work.
- You may have to wait a couple of days to receive version 4.1.10 of the Play Store app.
- To check your version of the Play Store app: Open the Play Store app. Touch Menu (three dots at the top), then select Settings. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to see your 'Build version.

My ONe still hasn't received the Play store update to 4.1.10, but at least they have found the problem and hopefully in a couple of days our devices should be working again

[Q] Location Issues with Non-Google Apps

Since yesterday I've been experiencing issues with location features on non-Google apps. Specifically:
Waze boots then FCs.
Facebook can't find my location when I try to check in, but CAN find my location if I tap the location icon when writing a status update.
Google apps are unaffected. Navigation works fine and check ins via the G+ app also work properly.
The only things I've done since the last time I used Waze or Facebook was to install Rootkeeper and attempt to install the latest OTA. The OTA installation failed at the bootloader so I don't think any system changes were made.
Regardless, I've since uninstalled Rootkeeper and flashed the odexed, updated stock ROM that viperboy posted but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am also experiencing issues with my location update. This started after the update was installed on my device. My phone reads "current location" but never updates. I have rebooted many times but no fix.

I am encountering the same issue. I justed restored my One to a unrooted stock state last night. This morning ran into the same issue of Waze closing when trying to launch it. Also noticed that the location displayed on the phone now says ""My Location", Yelp and Foursquare will not display useful info unless I get a GPS signal. Foursquare shows me results all over the globe (Tel Aviv, Sai Paulo) and when the map appears in Yelp it is off the coast of West Africa....

Lol. Wow. I wonder if anyone else has this issue. If so, HTC needs to push a fix soon.

Well looks like a factory restore has resolved my issues. Thank goodness for Helium.

Factory reset worked for me as well. Thanks, Helium!!

I hate to do a factory reset when I just setup my phone. I'm not rooted yet so I can't make a backup.

I've got it too, however its affecting Google Now.

I cannot post links yet but it looks like Google is aware of it. Seems to be limited to HTC devices so far. Looks to be related to the recent Google play services update. Makes me wonder what HTC did that could cause this....
