I have looked and looked but I cannot find a way to clear Google map history. Under manage applications there is no clear data option. I do have root explorer can I find a manual way to do it there? Or a way it will work on stock 2.1?
Droid Incredible
Dunno if it helps or not but I have the option.
Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage applications - All - Maps - Clear Data
Although I am rooted and running 2.2 rom.

Hi guys, it may or may not work for you but for those who are having the annoying market problems there is a couple of things you can do.
:Go to settings- applications- running apps- download manager- force stop and clear defaults
:Use a file manager (astro etc), delete android secure folder
:Also try 4-5 reboots, some say it helps.
Let me know if any work
Remember this will only be temporary not a complete fix, that's Google's job Adios

Hey guys I'm using Android revolution on my DHD I realise that even when I have gps and my mobile network on, my location cannot be found. On the navigation app, it will 'check for navigation accessibility' thing and never work. I tried installing locations but didn't work. Any help/ideas?

For me this was the solution:
1. I stopped the Maps application, cleared the cache and deleted the data from the maps application via Home > Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications; Tab "All"; Application "Maps"; Force stop; Clear cache; Clear data
2. I opened the Maps application (not Navigation) and accepted the change message
3. I went back to the home screen and started the Navigation application
4. Accepted the message
5. Navigation works like a charm (again)!
The latest version of Facebook always force closes on me (after the first time it is loaded after a reload). I've read that the later versions of Facebook have a location function looking for a GPS or something to identify the whereabouts of the user. Is there a way to sideload an older version of FB that doesn't require location (or is there some other way around this)? I've tried setting the location in settings to every possible combination with no success.
I am running nightly 243 on my emmc. Thanks for any suggestions.
Install Gps teather lite. Start client then start facebook

Or, go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All, pick the Facebook app and click on Uninstall. Since the Facebook app is part of the default GAPPS package, it will uninstall the update, and revert you back to the original (working) version.
I personally use an app called "Fake GPS" which does essentially the same thing that @ndinfla was talking about. It fakes a GPS location, and the newest Facebook app no longer crashes.
Either option should work for you.
Thanks to you both.
Is there a way or version that will not require the 'faking'?
Have you tried using LBE Privacy Guard to block the Facebook GPS request?

Thanks I'll give that a try as well.
LBE works like a charm! I had no idea that that was what's crashing FB. Thanks for the tip!

Hi,
I was wondering how the heck can you delete on-device search history on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1?
I tried to delete the search history within the browser but I still see search history when I go on the Internet.
Can you help?
Best regards to all!
Please be more specific. Do you mean in the browser, search history comes up, or are prior searches suggested in the panel above the keyboard as you are typing?
For browser, I suggest settings > application manager > Internet> clear cache, clear data This may not be sufficient if you log into Chrome, for example, from more than one device with the same login
For suggestions, settings> application manager> samsung keyboard> clear cache, clear data **Warning** this will probably clear your personal dictionary too. Once you use the keyboard again, you'll get a notice that "samsung keyboard can record keystrokes (or something like that) follow these steps to disable" follow those steps.
If you mean something else entirely, please post specifically.

I'm on 4.4 - on the search box at the top of every home screen, when i click in it - there's a list of recent search items, that i can't get rid of.
I've tried:
- Deleting all web search history (from https://history.google.com/history/)
- Turning Web History off (from the same link)
- Turning off Chrome sync for history
- Factory resetting phone
It's not a big issue, just a control thing - I'd like to know how to do it if I want to! (i'm sure there used to be a way in older versions of android?)
Thanks in advance :good:
Open chrome browser , go to settings > privacy > clear browser data > select all items on the list > press clear.
Never mind I see you tried the Chrome sync clearing.

Thanks - but that doesn't help - this is the search widget on the homescreens, not Google Chrome. I tried clearing the chrome history anyways to see if they're related and it does nothing.
Did you try deleting the data cache for the search app?
Sent from my Nexus 4
Yep - I even factory-reset the phone.. the search widget must be pulling the history from somewhere. Very strange!
bump! Can anyone at least replicate this issue at all?
Thanks!

Do you use google service "outside" of your mobile phone? In my case I used google search on my macbook (using safari) and all of my recent search is "copied" to my google search widget on my nexus. So I decide to remove all of recent search from google web history on my safari, and it works. The recent search now is gone.
*also try to remove your web history on your mobile chrome
Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestion - however I already removed my google web history?
