[Q] Phone Repeatedly 'Forgets' Google Account Info - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

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?

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 ....

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

There are a lot of reports of this general issue.
SACS has advised it will be addressed in the next update.

Are you running stock or custom? If it's custom, just try to flash this gapps: http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps/pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130410-signed.zip
It comes with all the google application installed.
(Don't forget to wipe cache/dalvik cache before installing.)

Is possible to flash then with slimbean?
It's an official Gapps so yes! I did used it on PAC ROM earlier this morning, had no problems.

But why cant i download these apps via playstore?
Maybe caused by a problem when flashing your gapps package.

Since root, apps are incompatible

I had to RMA my first N10 for a bad power button. It was rooted but 100% stock otherwise. I did a titanium backup of my apps when I sent it back.
When I got the new nexus, I unlocked, rooted and flashed franko right away but left the stock ROM. I restored my apps and have been loving it ever since.
Now the problem. I use an app for work that has an important update to fix some bugs but now shows as not compatible with my device. I've tried clearing the market data and framework but it didn't help.
I would like to try flashing a stock kernel but can't seem to find a stock zip for CWM.
Any other ideas?

This is not a problem refered with the root or kernel, but with the comptibility of those apps with our device.
Even though I'm running the restored version in it now? The original app is fine, just the update is not compatible.
FWIW, I'm not arguing, I just want to understand before I contact the developer.

I just checked on a 2nd stock N10 and I have the same issue. I also checked on my non stock Nexus 4 and it does work. So I'll get after the Dev to get it fixed.
Thanks for the input.

Google Maps Force Closing

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!

Are you using updated GAPPS? Try re-flashing the current version of apps for your rom and seeing if that resolves your problem.
- Br4nd3n
also are you using a different DPi with playstore? ie. Paranoid Android or Per App DPi with Xposed?

no , im using stock dpi
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.)

Missing progress

Hi everyone. Dunno if anyone else has the same problem, but i took a quick look and didn't find anything so I'll just go on. I have a nexus 4 running rasbean jelly 4.2.2. Rom with Matr1x kernel and for some time now i have a problem, mainly after rebooting my phone. Most applications that track progress like games and their saves , chrome and its tabs, etc start like it's the first time running them. Any idea what might be going wrong? Thanks in advance.

uninstall it. dirty flash your build of rasbean(and gapps) without wiping anything. i think this will take care of your issue.
Isn't dirty flash dangerous?
I thought maybe upgrade into 4.3 but not sure if worth the trouble.

dirty flashing isnt dangerous. its the only way i flash(just make a nandroid backup just in case)! i even dirty flashed rasbean 4.3 over rasbean 4.2.2 when rasbean 4.3 just hit. but yea, it might be time to upgrade to 4.3 too
when updating the same rom, dirty flash. when trying a new different rom, then wipe data.
Ok i think I'll try this and hopefully problem will be solved too. Thanks for help mate.
