For some reason while I'm using the N7, just browsing various websites or looking at videos, the error notification "unfortunately maps has stopped" pops up.
I searched around for a fix or even other threads about this on the N7 but have not seen any.
I've tried re-installing the Maps application on my N7 but it seems like it can't be uninstalled. I disabled the app and the error message stopped, but when I wanted to use the Map app, I had to enable it, and after use did not disable and noticed the error notification pop up at around the same frequency.. (every other day or so.)
I have not rooted the device, and have only downloaded/installed a handful of apps; am using Apex launcher as an alternative for the lack of landscape view on the home screen. Thanks in advance for any help.
Same problem I'm having. Not rooted, completely stock.

I'm also having this problem with the Nexus 7 and CM10, but good to know it also happens in stock, saves me some trouble.

Have you tried this: Goto Settings > Apps > Maps > Force stop, clear cache, clear data. Then try rebooting your N7.

Have you tried fixing permissions in recovery or through ROM Manager?
I've tried both, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling maps, it still happens. Yesterday it interrupted me twice while I was playing a game. It's starting to get annoying.
Yes this is also an annoying issue for me.

If you don't *use* maps, and all the attendant programs (like local, navigation, etc) you can always go into your appdrawer, longhold the app and drag it up to App Info. (or go settings>apps>maps) and choose to "disable" the program.
(This *should* be possible stock, not rooted. I may be wrong, I didn't leave my N7 stock very long ;P)
I might have figured it out. Go to maps, settings, location settings, location reporting, select "do not update your location". So far no message this past day or so (crossing fingers).
[edit] Spoke too soon, just got one.
Call Google Apps support.
I had this issue happen to me for the Gmail app, and unfortunately, this was happening on two devices, occured after Factory Resetting two devices, and removing and re-adding the account.
Google might have changed/switched a setting, and it may have affected your ability to access any saved data you have on your account.
Same problem here, maps has stopped. Happend when my N7 was stock, andre now when it is rooted.
FWIW, this has never happened to me again since I installed AOKP some days ago.

what's aokp? i still have this problem on my n7 and it bothered me again today to the point of googling for a solution, and what do you know, my own thread pops up.
AOKP is a custom ROM. Build 2 just came out a couple of days ago and build 3 is on the way. Cyanogenmod 10 may also have fixed this problem but I haven't tried any recent builds. Also, maps was updated very recently, are you on the last version?
Same Here
i have same problem with google maps on my xperia neo after i flashed my last rom.
after a fresh installation. it s runnning but when i restart i have that message "unfortunatly.. app stoped"
this stuff happened to me all the time on my N7, part of the reason i returned it.
note 2 l900 Unfortunately maps has stopped using favorites
No solutions recommended thus far have worked (fix permissions, clear cache, disable download reenable).
Every time I select a favorite or home or work in maps, it crashes andi get that error message. If I select from the history or manually enter, there's no issue.
Rooted stock Android 4.1.1. Version 6.10 maps.
But not the updated version. I hate the maps updated version. It worked fine until about a month ago (give or take).
Why are so many having this issue?
It may be the same prob fr evry1....or diff prob with similiar manifestation...post your logcats if you can....

i've read somewhere that could be a font size problem, go to settings and configure the smallest font size and try again, to me i didnt worked, but somehow the crash is delayed 1 or 2 seconds more
edit: i fixed it, my solution was to change the language
on android 4.4.2 (paranoid) you go to settings>>language & input>> english (United states)
don't know why i've set it to [ Developer] Accented English (zz_ZZ), that was the problem
another solutions i've read:
clean cache app
turn off phone, remove battery, wait 5 secs, turn on
flash gapps downloaded from your custom rom web
reset gps and agps, you can do this with "gps status" (search on play store)
try with another wifi, or mobile data plan (some people had problems with wep encrypted wifi's)

Hey guys,
After I rooted my S4, I went in Titanium and uninstalled a lot of the bloatware, including ChatOn. Now I'm having issues with the Samsung text-to-speech engine, which I've heard is attributed to the lack of ChatOn. However, I did make a backup of all the apps, but restoring ChatOn didn't fix the problem, and when I start ChatOn, I just get a black screen. And any time I open the text-to-speech options, it just starts giving me "Unfortunately, Samsung text-to-speech engine has stopped." I can't look at the settings, change the language, or anything.
Does anyone know how to properly restore ChatOn, or some other way to circumvent this problem?
You can only download it on play store or samsung apps and just go to titanium backup and "convert to system app" is that I would try. Anyway I don't think deleting chaton may get you this problem, once I always have deleted it.

I'm no developer but I don't think ChatOn is the cause of this because I've deleted it before on my Note 2 and it never gave me any problem like that. Although I was running OS 4.1.2 and S4 is 4.2.2. But I think it is something else you have froze or deleted. I would recommend go through TB and search the apps you have frozen or deleted that has to do with txt to speech like Talkback or something like that & restore them one by one to see if that corrects it. Just a suggestion.
Change your text to speech provider to google and that error goes away.

Thanks for the responses, everyone.
But yeah I guess I got the idea from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41287449 and another thread somewhere.
So, I guess my problem is a bit complicated, and pretty difficult to explain.
1) I already have Google TTS checked, and I don't get the Samsung TTS error unless I (a) open a Samsung app (like S-voice), or (b) open up my TTS settings.
2) I don't really care about S-voice, although when people ask me to show me S-voice, I'd like to have it functional.
3) The only reason I bring this issue up is because I'm trying to enter my TTS settings in order to enable Light Flow or LEDBlinker Accessibility.
4) The reason it's making me enter TTS settings is because for some reason my system language and TTS language don't match up. >_<
It's all very bizarre and roundabout, but I've just gotten a feeling from some threads that uninstalling certain Samsung Apps (like ChatOn) can cause these TTS problems. I don't have any other apps uninstalled with TiBU, although I do have a few ATT apps frozen.
I'm beginning to think Odin'ing back might be my only option, though I'd like to avoid it. :/

I'm with you on this. I wish I could find more help on this problem. I did the exact same thing and had the same results: I backed up and then uninstalled ChatOn and ChatOnV using Titanium Backup. That made S-voice and S-Translator stop working. So I tried re-installing ChatOn and ChatOnV but they would just freeze when opening, so I uninstalled those again and searched for ChatOn in the play store, installed the two apps (ChatOn and ChatOn Video & Voice) and now ChatOn works, again. The problem is, S-Voice and S-Translator do not. I also switched to using Google TTS in the settings, but I really would like to get S-Voice to work again (S-Translator I can live without, but I'd love it if S-Voice worked). I can't figure out how to get that to work correctly short of Odin-ing, which seems like a lot of effort.

After I froze some bloatware, I actually started having problems with the Samsung text-to-speech (FC's repeatedly, very annoying). To fix the issue, I switched away to Google's TTS, and then froze the Samsung TTS to get it to go away. This, in-turn, broke S-Voice. To fix S-Voice, iirc, I ended up converting it to a User App and it began working again. Quite strange.
Try fiddling with these in different orders. Take backups with TiBu first, of course. As a last resort, Odin'ing to stock should fix anything.
EDIT: also, for broken apps (like Chat-On), try clearing the cache and data for each using TiBu (cache option is on page2).
Change text to speech to google it goes away.

I tried clearing the cache like you mentioned, but I didn't try freezing the Samsung TTS. I didn't have Titanium Backup Pro, so I couldn't do that, but I went ahead and made the purchase and froze Samsung TTS and that fixed it (I also changed S Voice to a User App, although I'm not sure if that is what fixed it or freezing the TTS).
At any rate, thanks for the help! S Translator works now, as well. I went ahead and froze several other apps that I don't need (rather than removing) and everything is smoother and less bloated
FIXED!

I did the exact same thing. Deleted some bloat ware (including chat on) and S Voice stopped working correctly. Even though I had a back up on TB I it didn't fix the error message. Finally I just unrooted it (just youtube how to unlock & unbrick galaxy s4). Very simple and straight forward. It took it back to factory firmware, then I just rooted it again. And no I'm obviously not going to delete chat on.
How to convert it to user app?

I used Titanium Backup to do this. I'm not sure if this option is available in the basic version - I purchased Pro a very long time ago. Reply if you need some specific instructions.
Upgraded to 4.4 with a clean wipe. I uninstalled some of the Google apps I never use such as currents ect. After awhile some apps start to force close such as settings. After I reboot or wipe cache or both the apps then reinstall themselves. Strange. I have never had a problem like this in any other version of android. Anyone else?

yea, i found out two weeks ago that you cant uninstall system apps in kitkat without getting a fc in settings. my way around it, i disabled 19 of the apps found in /system/app/ instead of deleting them. it seems to work just as well. pick any of the apps, select to view its info, tben press disable in the app info screen. itll remove that app from the app drawer as well.
Thanks Simms. Your one helpful dude! I always felt better totally getting ride of them to open up more space but it is what it is.

its what i do too, and always done. i have found that you can delete a few apps in /system/app/, like plus one, but they cant be considered system apps. its one of the first things i noticed about kitkat, that settings fc after removing system apps.

This is wrong on so many levels. After years rooting and running custom roms, I'm suddenly stuck with a load of bloatware if I upgrade to 4.4. I only use the account manager and Play Store and don't want any other Google apks, and would like to do without even those two, in fact I have no Google account 99% of the time and both are disabled unless I have to update something.
Hope there's a way out of this...

Hi guys... stupid me... I was playing around with Titaniuum Backup and read about the recommended job to integrate update into the ROM in order to free up space. Good idea, i thought.
So, I pressed it and was toasted successfully. Tried to start chrome again and was told that an error occurred and I have to delete chrome first. Well. I wondered as it is a system app. Never mind. Titanium backup pro solves the problem I thought. Deleted Chrome, restarted and installed it.
If now I want to start Chrome, it closes itself and gives a toast that "Chrome stopped working". I can press report or ok. The most interesting part is, that this toast appears 2 times. So, I guess that the process starts 2 times and produces a conflict.
Any idea?

Hello, "undo sys integration" lets me know that there is nothing to undo. So, I can not execute this process.

1. Make sure chrome is closed.
2. Go to the app settings and remove all data from chrome.
3. Go into /data/data/ (with a root explorer) and remove any directory with chrome (probably: com.android.chrome),
4. Then remove chrome from your device.
5. Restart the device after that reinstall chrome from the play store.

Thank you Jeffrey. That solved my problem. If ever you come to Thailand, I invite you to a beer (or 2)
This has been causing me problems for weeks now.
In the Google settings I have all voice settings turned off but the Google search bar still pops up with 'say ok google' and it still works even on other pages.
It's as though it's completely ignoring the settings and stuck on the from any page setting.
Anyone have any possible ideas for fixes?

Try to clear data of Google Now if possible.
Otherwise try to uninstall Google Now and re-install the latest version
I've tried both of those as a first step and it still happens.
Really quite annoying as I'm pretty sure it's causing considerable battery drain.
Only thing I can do for now is deny the microphone permission for google now but this also prevents android auto from using voice commands. And it still says it's activated on the search bar
