Google maps keeps force closing

hey guys, I don't know what happened but about 30 min ago, every time I try to open Google Maps I get the Force close notification.....anybody have any ideas of how I can fix this? I tried restarting the phone and uninstalling and reinstalling updates but nothing has helped

It's happening to me too. Started about an hour ago. It doesn't happen every time, but pretty often. Since we're not alone, it sounds like google has changed something server side that's sending data that kills the client.

oh pheww.....I thought I was alone lol
not to seem like an a-hole and be happy it's happening to you....but just sayin....haha

Thanks... I was a little worried myself, I installed the wifi tethering mod earlier today and thought I might have screwed the phone up.

Weird! Just started happening to me too. Thanks god for this forum and the search button, because I almost just began the nightmare of trying to figure out which new app or kernel I installed was causing this issue. Guess ill wait now since I'm not the only one. It's probably a Google server causing a problem.....

Same here, just started a little bit ago ... I don't think I can leave the house safely if I don't have access to google maps!$%!
edit: Just a possible fix ... I uninstalled and reinstalled and so far so good...

Are you guys using a modified rom?

I uninstalled/reinstalled didn't help, but if I use WiFi it works fine. Weird.

Me too, except worse - my entire phone freezes up and I have to pull the battery. Not an east or safe thing to do while driving. Started happening about a week ago. Anybody know why?

Forgot to say. Stock ROM on my Vibrant.

Stock Rom here too. Just started doing this to me today also, but only when I use it on the wifi on 3g its fine.

uninstall the google maps update and it will work for now. Google broke it and they will fix it.

Have you guys tried factory data wipe and reset?
*2767*3855#

I got the crash only when WiFi was turned on . I uninstalled all the updates and am not getting it anymore.

Mine not forcing close, but a black screen "force me to shut down and boot the phone manually".
Everytime I opened google map with GPS on, the phone hanged and I needed to long press the power button to boot..

That is an issue I have seen with lag fix installed...i had to odin back to stock install lag fox then install apps...fixed all my fc issues on stock and other roms...anyways food for thought.

Updated today but still black screen when GPS is on...need to restart the phone manually everytime!!

Has the ota update fixed the lockups?

I'm on the fence with the G2 and the vibrant. I don't get a good signal at home and am concerned about lock UPS and reboots with the G2. If you had these issues with your phone, did the ota update fix them?
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App

my lockup issues went away when i disabled backup apps to google servers, and i havent had any random reboots from going in and out of coverage since - im on OTA now too.

It fixed the reboot issue for me

I've had 1 random reboot since the OTA. So you'll still have to disable the google app data backup thing.

i was getting alot of reboots before the update.... not once since the update

I was optimistic that this would help as I really don't want to have to return my phone, but my phone just froze up again. I have not seen the reboot issue, but the issue where the phone locks up and refuses to turn back on without pulling the battery.

I reenabled data backup and left my office today where I have no reception and didn't lock up or reboot! so maybe ota did fix that. it always froze up or rebooted before.

[Q] DX Touch Screen Stops Responding

The touch screen on my DX stops responding several times a day. It very random, it can be during a text, answering a call, etc. If I lock and unlock the screen, its back to normal. Its running the OTA 2.3.340 and is rooted, but this started prior to rooting. The "tech" at VZW said to do a factory reset but I'd rather not have to re-setup everything. Anyone else have this problem and have you found a fix? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I have this exact same problem

Are you using a rom? It happens to me every once in a while, maybe every other day or so, sometimes twice in a day. I thought it might be the rom I'm using. I'm on liberty but everything else works fine for me so I was just waiting it out till they get version 1.5 released.
Beamed from my robot X using the XDA app

No other ROM, it is stock other than rooting and removing a few bloatware packages. It did this before removing any of that though.

My phone just started doing this recently as well. I think a program running in the background might be at fault. I'm still trying to find out which one

It happens to me while trying to use lock screen... I'm on apex and it always happened while using apex and on liberty until i switched to the rotary lock slide

Same issue here.I think this is a documented bug, and I haven't seen anyone post a fix for it anywhere

[Q] Nexus 4, Force close loop on all apps, Help?

Last night my phone was working perfectly and i didnt install any new apps yesterday so i dont know what caused this to happen...
At about 6am today i turned on my phone. it was all fine until i unlocked it. When i put in my pattern it unlocked and it showed a few of my icons for about half a second and then it came up with an error message saying that the launcher had crashed so i pressed "ok" and it came up again so i pressed "report" and then it said "market feedback agent has stopped" and went back to the launcher and came up with the first error again.
i was just thinking about a way of getting around all the errors to install a new launcher so then i could use my phone. i plugged in my earphones and used the button to start playing my music, then i unlocked my phone and quickly opened skype before the error came up again and then i went in my notifications and i could open Play Music from the notification, i had a notification for an app update so i clicked it and it opened the play store so i installed "go launcher ex" i tried going into my recent apps to change my song but it said "system ui" had crashed, i tried to get into my settings but that crashed too, i worked out that it was most of the stock apps and a few others like bbm that werent working.
device specifications:
Nexus 4
Android 4.3
Rooted
Stock rom
Stock kernal
I dont know what to do without losing everything? thank you for any help

rebooted already? This usually fixes a lot of probs.
cheers

This is happening to me to. I fix it by clearing the ram or closing all open apps. But it happens like once daily now. Any long term solutions?

same issue as here...

just different description... Just cleared google service framework data... will check back in on that thread after tomorrow morning and let you know if it works.

Same here. Bone stock and I don't even shut the phone off but overnight something happens to it and all apps crash. It sucks because it was my morning alarm but the clock app crashes without sounding the alarm.
If I reboot it will work perfect till the next morning, then all over again. Wiped and it still does it. Called it in and Google wasn't aware of anything so if you get this make sure and call Google so they know its widespread.

I cleared services framework and it solved it. So far, 2 days without infinite force closes

Same thing happened to me today. I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, clear dalvik cache and reboot. Been fine since.

That did not fix it for me.
I got the infinite loop the next morning.

i tried re-booting but nothing happened, i had to go into recovery mode and reset my phone. now i wish i made a backup.

I haven't been getting those major crashes yet but after a while I can't open any apps or they "stop. " I think it has been happening ever since I returned to stock for the kit Kat update. Closing all the apps sometimes fixes it but that ruins my favorite part of the phone which is I can have all my stuff open all the time.

I'm still having this problem. Did everyone else fix it or did it just go away?

You guys should try fastboot flash system... I was getting these crashes awhile back and flashing the system.IMG solved it for me. You will not loose any data either
