Hello everyone.
The Google plus is great. I installed the native app on my NC running n118+300611 OC kernel.
It partially works. Whenever i click the icons at the upper right (make a post/upload photos), the app force close.
Already tried fixing permission but it didn't help/
I wonder if you guys experience the same problem?
is there a workaround to fix this?
I am experiencing the same issue. Nightly 116, OCd 1.3ghz.
Same issue here on 7.1RC1 w/ stock kernel. Report to Google.
Same here, CM7.1 RC1 with latest Dalingrin OC kernel
logcat to the rescue... It's trying to grab location, which crashes a lot of apps the same way.
Workaround.. Tether GPS Lite or some other things. Sucks though.
Google Maps never crashes, but some other random apps do.
This is the same issue that WeatherBug has when it tries to find your location. We probably need some sort of a connection between the WiFi location and the GPS to spoof the GPS with the WiFi location and then stop crashing apps

Soo, like, Tether GPS Lite, or some other apps like Fake GPS, even Bluetooth GPS Provider without a BT GPS nearby works I believe. Anything that pretends to be a GPS.
IMO these apps are buggy. You can't crash Google Maps the same way, nor a few other apps, but lots of (buggy) apps will. I suspect there's some sort of API call to see if there's hardware GPS data before trying to initialize it in the case of Google Maps or other apps which don't crash.
FIX-io! Fake GPS Lite, done. Working. Nice - thanks all!
Yeah I'm thinking Google needs to put out an update for g+. I don't want to have to open another program all the time just to do a quick post. If Maps doesn't crash then g+ shouldn't either.
I'm running CM7 7.0.3 and to get Google + to not FC all I did was enable my GPS and enabled TetherGPS.
late,
Coz
Just tried your method. Worked for me too.
What about doing something like setting up Tasker, Locale, etc to start GPS Tether any time Wi-Fi is on? I figure this would work pretty well, no? Yes, it's a workaround, but a necessary one due to platform limitations.
I also was having FC issues with the app and CM7. I have since gone back to stock 1.2 MN for the moment and the google+ app is working appropriately without any work arounds. It is interesting that a work around is required in CM7 but not with rooted stock 1.2. Why would an AOSP build bork the app?

I install TNT Lite 3.1.2 for Viewsonic G Tablet and I have some problems with location. When i used google maps or any other application can detect location, base on u'r Wi-Fi, didn't work. Please help me about this problem.

I have to set the location to manually entered information. Unfortuantly, there is no GPS in the GTablet...
Some apps, like Maps or Loopt probably will not work unless you manually enter location information like a ZIP code.
I haven't heard anything about using WiFi for location data, though. Sounds interesting!
Other than manually entered location data, nothing can really be done unless that WiFi-location thing pans out somehow.
Can't really help you with how to manually enter information; I'd imagine you might already know how to do that, and I don't.
RE: Anyone tel me how to fix Wi-Fi Location Problem.
When I use my pc's google maps, it shows my location based on wi-fi. Also in my Iphone 2G its worked. I installed weatherBug, IhartRadio apps in to ViewSonic g Tablet and those are didn't start. It's searching location. So then how it's worked on PC's and Iphone 2G's. I think we need wi-fi patch for that.

Isn't that actually based on your public IP (the IP your router, wired or wireless) that your provider gives you?
We need to keep this thread going! I can't play Parallel Kingdom because the WiFi Location isnt enabled and I don't see any option to turn it on. Ive done some searches on the web and some Android phones have this feature...how come the GTablet doesnt? It would really help since there is no built-in gps or 3G service.

All the apps screwed-up that need location
We need solution very fast. I need to know how regular pc finds the wi-fi location without GPS or 3G. (Eg- Google maps, Weather Bug ect..)
Well, Google does it in this way:
http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?answer=179386&hl=en
Maybe it could be done in that way as well somehow?

Google uses service that looks up the mac address of your router (just like skyhook on ipod touch). The stock tablet doesn't even have location services settings - does TnT-lite have this? If not then there is nothing collecting and reporting the data.
To get this to work, the Google location services part of android has to be running - and not use GPS. I have no idea how to make this work, I just know the basic mechanics behind it.
Google Location Services
This is part of the reason I returned the tablet.
If you open up the gservices.db under /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/ using SQLite3.
and do the following query:
select * from main where name='url:google_location_server';
It should give you the setting for the Google Location Services. In my case it didn't exist.
I tried to add a record for it by doing:
insert into main values('url:google_location_server','http://www.google.com/loc/m/api rewrite https://www.google.com/loc/m/api')
and that didn't work.
The NetworkLocation.apk is present in the Vegan b5.1 build but I couldn't get it to work at all because it always wanted to default to GPS.
E/libGPS ( 976): gps_stop
E/libGPS ( 976): gps_state_stop
E/libGPS ( 976): epoll_wait returned, nevnets=1
E/libGPS ( 976): read(control_fd) get CMD=2
E/libGPS ( 976): GPS thread get CMD_STOP
and never flip over to network based location.
The best I can tell you is use Location Spoofer for Android. I can't even troubleshoot it anymore because I gave up my GTab before the return period was over.
We need to keep going this thread
Location is very impotent to lot of apps.

I Can't see MLB AT BAT TV LIve (have a suscription), because I dont have location, have someone found a fix for it??
Wi Fi location works on stock 1.24349
I was on stock 1.2-4349 till a couple of days back. Google maps was able to pin point my location in a jiffy. I flashed Brilliant Corners recently, and since then, Google maps stopped displaying my location. It's no big deal for me right now, but I thought it might be of interest to somebody else in this forum.

Try logging in to the Google Latitude app on the gTablet if it is installed. Google Maps, and other apps like News & Weather picked up the location correctly if I was logged in to that.
My first post here...
Anyway, I appreciate all the hardwork the devs are doing to make the G-Tab... awesome...
Well, I recently loaded the VeganTab GingerEdition RC1 - from VeganTab v.5.1.1, and I have a couple of issues. I looked around to see if anyone had similar problems... or even better yet, solutions but I did not find any yet.
So my problems are related to GPS apps. Specifically, my first issue is on the Google Nav app that keep dissapearing repeatedly when I reboot. I first noticed that the NAV app icon was switched to null (blank android) - icon right after my initial reboot after the ROM install. I did a search and found that I needed to uninstall Google Maps to get the NAV app back. So I did as instructed and I got the NAV app back and it was fully functioning... until I rebooted. It dissapeared again and I am left with an empty android icon where the NAV app used to sit on my desktop. App manager does not even list it on the installed app list, until I uninstall Google Maps app and reinstall... I am not sure what is causing this but it's very annoying.
My second problem is also releated to a GPS app. I used to run CoPliot app without any issues on the VeganTab v5.1.1. But now I get a GPS error stating "Unable to register for GPS updates" and the app quits. It stays in memory though and I have to use task manager to kill it.
Any ideas? I logged these two issues on the VeganTab bug tracker. I am hoping some of you guys might have few ideas about the issues I am experiencing.
These are more annoyances than anything... but I am thinking about maybe going back to v5.1.1. until the waters settle. What is the best way to downgrade? Do I need to take the tablet back to stock ROM before I reflash the v.5.1.1? Can I just load that ROM on top of the GingerEdition with cache wipe and etc.?
Thanks.
As soon as I've started Google Maps once it keeps running even after I close Google Maps. As a result the LocationManagerService is often chewing up my battery in the background. Only solution is to reboot the phone or force quit with Titanium Backup. Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
I'm running:
Google Maps 6.0.1
Phenomenal 1.1 kernel
UltraToxic 8.0.1 Rom
I noticed the same after using Navigation soon after updating to KK5. Freezing the NetworkLocation apk (com.google.android.location) resolved it for me, while leaving GPS working correctly.

I froze Network Location 1.1.08 with Titanium Backup Pro. However Google Maps still keeps running in the background after closing it. Did I freeze it incorrectly?

Are you logged into Latitude? That manifests itself as Google Maps activity and is a real battery killer.
Might be worth checking - log out and stay out if it is active.

I assume you probably have checked, but if not, just double check that you definitely aren't logged in. Can't remember now the sequence of events, but in answering a relatively innocent question shortly after getting the phone I inadvertently found myself to be a Latitude user! I had never knowingly opened it or logged in.
Soon as I killed it my battery life improved immeasurably.

Thanks for the tip! I downgraded to 5.8 but it's still not fixed.
OK, if it isn't Latitude, the next most likely culprit would be an app or a widget that is somehow using mapping. A weather widget? Shopping? Anything else that thinks it needs to know where you are right now?
If you have the stomach for it, I have read various threads that talk about removing one widget at a time (and then one app at a time) until the culprit is identified.
Equally you could install a clean ROM and then start installing apps and widgets until you get the issue back.
No precise science, just lots of trial and error...
Clear cache from maps.

Thanks! I don't have any widgets running. I've also tried the Simple & Clean v2.4.3 ROM (and various kernels) and it produced the same result. It's just that as soon as I start anything related to google maps it will just keep google maps running until I kill it or reboot.
I wonder if it is a common bug and only few people notice it or if it's a rare bug. Sure eats up that battery though!
I read they'll be releasing ICS beta next week so I'm going to hope that fixes this issue.
So can you boot the clean ROM, start Google Maps and Google Maps alone, close it down and have it close cleanly? That is to say, no battery drain?
I must admit I fight a little shy of Maps since my Latitude experience but I have used it and I'm not aware of the behaviour you are seeing.
If you run the clean ROM for a while without anything else running I assume all is well?

As soon as I start Google Maps it will run indefinitely in the background. But as long as I don't run anything Google Maps related then there's no problem (it doesn't autostart or anything).

It's the 'Google Maps related' bit that I'm interested in. What are you counting as Google Maps related?
If you only open Google Maps what happens? Same thing?
What (if any) other apps are causing this to happen? Can you list everything that triggers this behaviour.

Exactly. If I never start any of these there's zero issues.
Hmmmn, that is odd then.
I'm not aware of issues with Maps but I'll have a play with it on my own phone and see if I can replicate.
I had this on KK5.
On KJ3 and previous ones, there are no problems.
Does anyone know why Google maps is always open. Does something force it open all the time? I have running the latest build that was rleleased yesterday.
Uninstall the damned thing it's annoying and consumes a lot of battery even when not launched with or without WiFi and 3G just makes it worse, It was fine in the Froyo series but the GB and HC series made it worse just uninstall it via system/app , Use Root Explorer or something that has root access enabled.
Download the latest Maps app from somewhere like apktop so you can save and keep the apk file so you can install it back on the go. Or titanium backup to back up the Maps application in general, if you don't use it, then remove it, but if you do (Worth it only on 3G models) then you can install it back anytime you want Win-win if you ask me, I have the 3G model and decided to remove it as it serves no purpose when on a motorbike, because by logical sense where am I supposed to keep a 10" tablet on my bike Unless by some magical tape glory, but if you hike alot, then keep it.
Force closing the app when WiFi is off keeps it permanently off, but when WiFi is on, it relaunches itself. FML Google.
I also notice there are quite a bit if wifi issues with it. I see some related topics but not sure if its related. Any suggestions. Basically I see that wifi hiccups after the tablet is a sleep for awhile.

Thanks I will give it a try.
I'm using the xNoathor ROM on my XU and it's running amazingly. The GPS works fine but network location services seem to be broken.
I've enabled them in the settings but apps can't use them. You can test this by opening Google maps inside a building (so GPS won't work), it won't find your location. You can also try Google Now, it will complain about location services and commands such as "will it rain today" won't work as intended.
Anyone else have this issue?
Yep, I think that is a known bug of the ROM.
