Hi there,
I have the unlocked European S10 with the latest firmware and app updates. No root and no google account installed.
I have the following issue.
I normally keep location off.
So when I fire google maps it asks to enable location which fine but it never finds a location. If I use anothe app e.g. mapsme the location is found instantly. When I go back and kill and start google maps again the location is found. Some other apps never find any location.
I have removed cache of all apps from bootloader and cleared app data from Google maps and Google play services but issue is still there. I tried also safe mode but no luck.
Any ideas what is going wrong? Factory reset is not really an option..

Hey all,
Tried the board search for a possible solution to my prob, to no avail so far:
I am using a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, GP5110, android 4.0.3.
Fully rooted, avast! security installed as firewall, running in whitelist mode - I rather allow those few application I like internet access and have everything else blocked by default, with the ongoing permission-hunger of most app developers I figured to be better safe than sorry.
My problem: Googles` Maps App is running perfectly fine, however when I try to download any offline maps (settings -> make available offline) it just opens a tab called "My Places", showing my map indicating 0.0MB/0.0MB, download never starts.
I tried whitelisting a number of different system processes - such as was necessary to get the youtube app running - but was not successful identifying the correct ones.
Anybody out there who could help?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Chris
Can you not turn the firewall off , download the maps you want then turn it back on ? I have managed to download offline maps but avast firewall was not on ..... just a thought.
Would probably work, but I'm rather looking for a permanent solution than a workaround... Thanks for your suggestion though!
Go to settings -> Clear all offline maps
Then open Google Play, uninstall Google Maps, then update Google Maps, Restart Device,
Now it works on mine. There should be a notification section called "Downloaded Maps" which tells you the progress, as well as inside Google maps.
I've been trying to remove country restrictions and I have found a way. I started a vpn and created a google account. When I use that account on google play I can see some apps that were not available in my country. But the problem is instead of "Store Home" section google play starts at shop apps section and I can not see home section, it just redirects me to shop apps section. Not all apps are visible and if I switch back to my original account everything is back to normal except that I can not get any restricted apps. I did not moded play I use maclaws cyanogen mod. I've tried deleting cache, uninstalling and even installing google play apk that I found on the internet. I also rebooted my phone. Can you think of a solution becouse I'm out of ideas!

I use an OLD version of Maps. It's simple, I'm used to it, so I stick with it.
Recently the Maps app started updating itself without prompt, without me going to the Market and selecting it. It updates despite the fact I have "don't auto update" set for all my apps on the Market app. I disconnected it from the Market in Titanium Backup but that only lasts for a short time as you probably all know. I found a setting in TB where some items were set for auto update and I turned ALL of them off (including Maps). Then today I found it had updated itself back to the current version again.
I've tried everything I know of. I have currently frozen the Market app to see if that will prevent an update. But you know what? I'm sick of this, and I'm trying out Nokia's Here Maps.
Just for update purposes, freezing the Play Market app did not stop a self-update of Maps.
I then googled again, and found a mention of stopping changes to another app by editing the properties of the APK to "read only". I have gone in with Root Explorer and turned off Write Access for the google maps apk. That was one day ago, so I will see how that works. It's apparent that the update must be through the Maps app itself if not some push update from Google.
My smart unlock doesn't appear to be working, it worked when I initially set it but now it doesn't even appear to search for location when unlocking.
Anyone else had this or know of a way to fix it. I have cleared data for play services and Google framework
I am on android MRA58K and my google play store stopped working for most of the applications including google apps when I am on wifi (works on cellular ). I have removed and re-added my google account. Did not work. Then factory reset the device and no use. And now I can not update most of the application. Cleared cache for google services and play store app as well with no success. Some people suggested changing the DNS to google DNS on the router might work. In my case that did not work. Help is appreciated.
Note: I am on unmodified stock.
Go into settings apps, clear data for Google play store, Google play services and Google services framework. Reboot phone. See if that works.

Miraculously everything started working normally this morning without me doing anything. GPS can download and update all the apps as it was doing before. None of the suggested remedies did in the forums did not work yesterday and today everything came back to normal. I guess it is something outside my phone caused this problem. Any thoughts on this are welcome.
