Having a very strange problem on the g6. For all the weather apps I use they include weather maps superimposed on Google maps. But the Google maps part of it doesn't display. So all that shows is the cloud cover or precipitation (or whatever layer I have it showing). But since the Google maps part doesn't display I don't know where that precipitation actually is. And this is for all the weather apps I have tried.
I'm a long time Android user and have used these weather apps for years. Any idea why it's not working correctly on this g6? I've tried checking all the app permissions and uninstalling and reinstalling. And Google Maps works fine by itself.
Mine got a problem using uber app its just blank no maps all i can see is the cars available.

Definitely sounds like the same problem. Hope someone has been able to solve this.
I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work but no luck.

When i got my replacement phone i had the same problem. The maps didn't work for Weather Underground, Gas Buddy, Sensorly, etc. I ended up doing a full reset again. ugh!!! So much for spending the evening setting up my phone for the millionth time it seems. I've never had this problem before. I don't know if it's an issue with LG's android software or what.

Did that end up fixing the problem? Like you, I really don't want to do a reset after finally getting the phone setup.
Btw, I did a lot of searching online about this issue and the only other reference to it I could find was from someone with a Verizon lg g6 also.

That's 1weather on my tmobile g6. I didn't do anything, just working out of the box.
I wonder if verizon had done sth to mess with the maps. Can we check if other verizon users having the same issue or not?
Any progress on this issue?

Hi all,
I'm having similar issues except not just with weather apps.
I've also been using the verizon version of Lg G6 and noticed that google maps embedded in ALL apps (i.e. yelp, zillow, tripadvisor, priceline, etc) come out completely blank. This has been going on since day 1 of using this phone. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like on yelp.
Google maps itself works just fine without any issues.
My phone is up to date with all the system/app updates. I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling all those apps. The only thing I havent tried is doing a factory reset... which I dont want to do =\
Anyone else having this problem?? Any fixes??
I did a factory reset and the issue didn't come back. Btw the reset wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. The LG backup & restore function worked reasonably well. Backed up to SD card bf reset and restored right after. Things still needed to be setup a little. I've always had a rooted phone before this and relied on Titanium backup, so didn't know what to expect.

You go to settings-->backup & reset --> and right below factory data reset you will see "Reset Settings"
Hope this fixes your issues too!

Since I purchased the phone layar has not worked. Each time I go to run it at the bottom it says updating featured.....it just sits there. Anyone else seeing this issue?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Haven't had the problem myself. Assuming you've already power cycled, try clearing the application data (settings> manage applications> layer> clear data.) Then force stop.
If it doesn't show up in the list goto menu> filter> all.
If it still isn't working and you care enough to trouble shoot further, you can try a master reset or take out back to the store, though the above should fix it...

I've had this happen once or twice. I just blame the GPS and try again later.
Install GPS Status or GPS Test (I prefer the former) and check how many sats you have locked in.
Anyone else having issues with the market right now? When I try to download or update an app the download will appear to start and immediately stop. No errors reported.

I am having similar issues as the OP.
I wiped the cache and data for the market and did a reboot, was about to nandroid my backup from yesterday, even tried it through appbrain...nothing is working.

The market app was running fine this afternoon but tonight it stopped working. Apps will show as Downloading and the download icon will momentarily show up in the notification bar (for less than a second). After the icon disappears, the status changes to Download Unsuccessful.
This is happening on every app (new installs and updates). I cleared the data and cache of the Market app and rebooted a few times but I get the same result. I assume this has to be a Market issue...
Same issue here.

sorry for the double... question...what version of the market do you guys have? mine is 2.12, which is the latest and seems to be the cause of the issues...
I have version 2.12.
so i cleared data on Talk, and then turned off the automatic sign on and signed off. and market works. weird. very.
i never use Talk, so i would have never thought of it.

So I let my little brother sign into the Facebook app on my phone and thus the problems. I signed him out and logged in with my stuff, but I'm still getting updates in my notification bar from his account and when I click them, it just takes me to the app with my account logged in and doesn't show me anything new. I've tried clearing out the app data and even uninstalling/reinstalling the Facebook app to my phone with the same results. Anyone else had the same or similar problem, or have any suggestions about how to fix it?
Bump as I've not managed to get this fixed. Hopefully will get some more eyes on.

I dunno Don. That's an odd one. If you've cleared the data it should have done the trick. Maybe something gets stored to the sdcard. I know that during the installation a notification gets stored there. I wonder...
That's kind of on the lines of what I was thinking too but I haven't been able to find anything on there that seems linked besides the sound. I'm going to keep working at it and I'll post any progress I make here for future reference.

I have issues with Google maps navigation. It's stuck at the "looking for location".
I tried it on my 16GB and my wifes 8GB and got the same.
When I tried to navigate on Copilot it worked well so I don't think it's the GPS issue.
Anyone else has similar problem?
This may or may not help, I am just tossing it out as something for you to try. My google navigation app was doing the same thing. It turns out because I switched off location access (to see if that conserved power) it stopped google navigation from working properly. So check your location access settings and make sure you have them turned on.

GPS test locks onto a satellite with no problem.
Check Settings->Accounts->Google->Location Settings and make sure the "Let Google apps access your location" is ON.
Mine did the same thing, when I tried to re-plot the course whilst in a call.
It appears to only do it when in a call, too.
A reboot resolves the problem. Slightly annoying.

Lol. Thought so! It clears that setting.
It took some Ninja Googling to find out what was going on. Don't know why all the Location settings aren't located in the one place, it would make life a bit easier.

Hi,
I have been experiencing slow notifications on my S8 ever since I bought it, specifically with apps like Twitter and Skype. After research, I tested turning off the app power monitor, but that did not help. Then, I tried disabling the google app and the problem was fixed. However, I do use the google app on a regular basis so I would like to find a different way to fix the problem. I have also tried a phone reset with no results.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Go really if that works by stopping the google application.
I have it like that, but there are many other things that I lose when I deactivate that function, for example the dictation to google voice, a function that is widely used by me.
I read that Nougat did not pass.
Amazing that there is no solution to this. There is no other solution?
