Google Maps Force Closing - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all lately when I have been using a custom rom on my S4 is force closing Google Maps. I even did a full wipe and fresh install I am beginning to think it may be the actual App and not my phone.
I was just curious if anyone else had the same experiences as me?
Cheers

Please post this in the S4 forum.

Shouldn't it be cleared after a fresh install?

It won't let me until I have made the correct amount of posts! Been a long time lurker on here!
I did another complete fresh install and still no joy!
However I do get an error in recovery saying cannot open cache/recovery . log or something along those lines!

Having the same problem here.... nothing seems to fix this! Everything else works!
Same here. Also tried from different roms (orange glacier, cm7, royal ginger, and orange sense, and stock). Hopefully just updating the system or something.

Thanks , just to be clear you installed new rom cleared market then set up gmail or set up gmail then cleared ? Then the next day after using/not using phone it was ok? Appreciate all info in case it happens again so I dont PD15 it and have to reroot.

If he's having trouble downloading apps I'm pretty sure he's already flashed the gapps.. but to the OP what message is it giving? Not in the toolbar but when you click on the toolbar notification it should take you to the market and give you more info as to why

Hmm is it just saying download unsuccessful? No error message or anything? If so could you get a logcat for whenever you try to download?
Sent from my HTC Glaciee using XDA Premium App
well, dunno how to get a log cat, and if its something that i need to download from the market that isnt happening. ive gotten it to download "most" of my apps a few times, other times it wont download anything at all. and by most i mean right when im done flashing it will try and auto download, and even though it gets most of them for every single one it pops up on the status bar saying it didnt.
A lot of people suggest clearing market and although this didnt work for me (I didnt wait a day like rockstar did) changing gmail did so the problem must be pretty simple . something to do with market not recognising gmail account or something. Unfortunately tou cant remove gmail without reset but still good to know there is a last resort.
edit: reflashed rom to see cos even though working with new gmail "my apps" obviously gone. Anyway same prob but I then cleared cache and data reset and all now ok with original gmail.
i'm hitting the same problem
it started last night after doing a Factory Data Reset.
at first everything was going pretty smooth but then the market downloads started to hang, eventually leading to a series of "download was unsuccessful, please try again." to pop up across the top of the screen.
each attempt I get the same problem, after selecting what to download from the market, the series of notifications goes as -
POP UP "your item will be downloaded"
BUT no download icon appears
EVENTUALLY "download was unsuccessful, please try again."
I've tried clearing the Markets cache and GMails (per another thread I saw) but still didn't work
the fails seem directly linked to the locally installed market on my phone since I have success installing from the market to my phone when on a computer, also the Amazon App store doesn't seem to have this issue either.
The phone wasn't rooted prior to the factory reset (and it's still not)
phone info:
Droid X
4.5.596
on verizon
vers 2.3.3
kernel 2.6.32.9
build 4.5..1
thanks ahead of time!

[Q] How to Upgrade

Hi I have one doubt in upgrade.
If I installed any one ICS build after that how can I upgrade to next build without flash?
Is it possible...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Put the new build.zip in your sd, reboot the phone, blue light and stock recovery...
It's pretty intuitive then.
This is also similar to flash...I know this one other method? Becoz every time have to install software

So No NEED TO WIPE data and cache? Am i right?
So no need to install applications again?
Wipe cache and dalvik cache but not data, and u keep your apps.

Are you using updated GAPPS? Try re-flashing the current version of apps for your rom and seeing if that resolves your problem.

also are you using a different DPi with playstore? ie. Paranoid Android or Per App DPi with Xposed?

Did you try just reflashing the gapps? I had an issue during a flash once were my Google store installed & opened but wouldn't let me download anything new or verify any license for my paid apps; making then force close. Reflashing fixed my problem.

A clean installation should resolve the issue, (clearing system, dalvik, data and cache) than reflash your ROM first followed by gapps before rebooting. If you're flashing a different kernel as well than first flash the ROM > Kernel > gapps and make site you clear your dalvik and cache before flashing gapps.

You returned to stock with odin and it still won't work? If you have then it's an issue with your Google account.
Try clearing all the cache for anything that has to do with google in your application manager. (ex - framwork services, play store, etc.)

[Q] Phone Repeatedly 'Forgets' Google Account Info

I am running the SACS 4.3 Custom ROM, and have begun to experience weird behaviour in the past few days -- namely, my phone will just FORGET my google account info, I'll lose all phone contacts and google services functionality...
Has Anyone else experienced this?
Causes/Suggestions/Solutions?!
Thanks!

Which version of Sacs ROM?
Also this would be best answered in that thread. And if it's what I think it is it already has and Sac released a preliminary patch to address this precise thing.
Thanks. I was running the 4.3 release, but upgraded to v5.0 a few hours ago. Thus far, no issues!

I've been running v5 as well with no Google account issues for a full day now. I did see a couple users report having their account disappear while on v5 but I bet it has to do with not a clean wipe before flashing.
The issue has now resurfaced on 5.0 and became apparent when my device notified me of the need to add Backup account.
Is there a proposed cause or remedy?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I am having the same problem problem and it's rather frustrating! I have flashed multiple times, clean wipe, using both TWRP and CWM still no success..
Do one thing guys ,... Download gapps package compatible to your ROM ... and then Flash it via recovery ... and before that make sure you have backed up your phone via Recovery and also ... wipe cache and dalvik cache ....
Regards

The Gapps is bundled in the ROM...some other issue here. Please dont offer generic advice as if it's a known solution.

Bud, this is XDA, not an instant chat service, expect days for an answer

Have you done anything to try and fix it? More info would be good
Cleared caches etc?
clear cache from application manager and restart your devie
it might work
or wipe your CACHE from your recovery
Ah haven't tried wipe from recovery, I'll try that, tried deleting and reinstalling apps that seem to cause it to open, wiped cache, wiped the default open options but haven't found anything else as of yet but I will try the recovery, running stock by the way
