On GB, Latitude would automatically check into the places i designated it to check in to. Now, I get notifications saying "Check in at Home?".
If I go to Location Settings in Maps, the Automatic Check-ins box is NOT checked. If i check it, i get a message saying "Your selection has been saved". Then when i go back to the map and then back to settings, the box is unchecked again.
I have uninstalled updates and cleared app data and cache, both with no luck. Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution? Thank you!
FYI (since apparently i'm the only one that uses latitude check ins on this forum...) It is a google maps issue and unrelated to ICS or the device.

Hi,
I am wondering if there is an application out there that will log my activity so I can see what services or applications ran that day.
The reason for asking is that I suddenly developed an issue a few weeks ago where the data connection will, apparently randomly, turn itself on. I haven't ever been lucky enough to catch it right when the data comes on, and when I check task manager I don't see any applications running to cause it. I am thinking I maybe either inherited a virus at some point, or I have an application that is attempting to update itself or something. But I haven't installed anything for months so it could be any old program. I checked scheduled tasks but don't see anything there.
I have done 'the usual' of making sure weather, stocks, email are not causing it.
Many thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

Turn off "My Location"
Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming you mean 'my location' in google maps? When I manually click 'my location' it doesn't turn my data on (TMobile HTC TP2). Are you suggesting it actually can turn data on in some background mode? I thought it got the information from cell locations, no?

Yes, info from cell locations(data).
Start/Settings/Personal/Phone/GSM Services(CDMA for some)/Location Setting
It's used for Google, HTC weather updates, location on home screen, etc
tyvm. First of all, DUH!, I was attached to activesync when I tested it, so that's why it didn't connect to data.
When I follow your steps I don't see anything about 'my location' (WM6.1 TMobile) after Start/Settings/Personal/Phone. I have a tab just called 'services', but it's not in there. But anyway, I went to googlemaps and there I had the option to disable my location, so I am assuming that does the same thing. I'll leave that off for a few days and see if that solves the problem.
Many thanks again for taking the time to respond.
Unfortunately the 'my location' wasn't the problem as the data came back on again today.
I think the best way to resolve it is going to be the log file, so...
Is there any application out there that can log activity on the phone, i.e. that can tell me which applications, services and processes ran during the day?
Thanks very much.
Get SPB Wireless Monitor-it logs all data usage (3g, wifi, active sync, whatever). The demo is fully loaded.
TYVM! Can't wait for my rogue program to run again
I have an Evo 3D.
This is driving me nuts, I seem to be unable to download app updates anymore. It attempts to download forever, the progress staying at zero, and eventually gives me error 495.
I tried Googling this, and attempted every solution I could find. I tried signing in and out of my google account, clearing the cache of ALL my apps, rebooting my phone, turning off my WiFi, and clearing more space. Nothing worked.
It appears there's something wrong with the Google Play service, I can't download any apps when connected to Wifi, and there are others having the same issue.
I have had this issue for a long time now. I just used to decide that I'll wait till i get home and download over WiFi (which worked).
But that's not a solution!!!
On my JellyBean One X:
1. Go to Settings
2. In Wireless and Networks, tap on More
3. Select Usage
4. Tap on Menu in top-right corner and make sure Restrict background data is not ticked
5. Also, uncheck Limit mobile data usage (a message appears saying that all background data restrictions will be disabled).
It is the background data restriction that causes this issue (atleast for me).
I had done the whole shabang:
Clear google play cache, data, etc. re-login with Google account, reboot, etc.
I have a "35 min to Home" card that pops up on Google Now and my watch around when I leave work for home. On my phone looking at Google Now everything looks fine, but when I swipe left on the notification to see the mini map of the route it shows the wrong location. I don't see any of the route home on the mini map. It seems to have picked an area about half a state away instead of my current location, or the suggested route.
I have tried to fix this problem by:
1. Uninstalling Google Maps, clearing data, re-installing
2. re-syncing apps to watch
3. resetting watch to factory settings
Anyone else have this issue or know of any methods to correct it ?
Thanks.
I have a Huawei Honor X1 (503L version B007) and live in northern Europe.
I noticed that, although I have turned on the settings to share my location, I can't see my device in Google Dashboard.
In the past weeks there is one moment An hour or so at 03:00 AM that my phone shows up in Google dashboard, but that's all.
Also my weather apps do not seem to find the location I am at or take a long time to switch to the correct location (time to check is set to a low interval).
GPS works fine. Internet through WIFI and data connection work fine and calling or receiving calls is no problem either.
I have tried reinstalling some Google play services with a GPS spoofer installed and all that but it doesn't seem to help.
I read about the 503L, because it's meant for the Asian market, has a different frequency for cell towers. Could this be the problem for the apps not being able to locate my device?
Are there Google services I should have installed for this service to work? (I have Playstore, Google now, mail and sync).
Is there a ROM (being) developed that i could use to 'Europeanize' my phone? (base language English, Google apps installed, frequency correction etc.)
I think there are various issues with this phone. I have the 7D-501U and I note that it too does not properly keep the location up to date. It also fails to run various services at startup, despite them being marked as "allow to run at startup". They can also get shut down if started manually. Basically, I think Huawei has been too aggressive with their power saving tricks.
[Q] Android 4.4.2, the security option "verify apps" keeps toggling itself on
I don't like a scan periodically scanning my apps in the background, so I wanted to turn it off, but even after toggling it off (in the main security page in the tablet's menu), it ends up toggling itself back on a few hours later without my consent. Is that a common issue?
I went on the google settings page as well and unticked the two options to verify apps and send analysis info, and the funny thing is that merely accessing that page without changing the settings (and when they are already unticked) will automatically toggle the "verify apps" setting in the main security menu on the tablet. Although even if I dont visit that page, leave them unticked there and have it unticked in the main security menu, it will still toggle itself back on a few hours later in the main security menu.
What's going on here? Is google pushing that option to be on at all time to scan your apps regardless of users choice?
Has no one heard or experienced this issue?
To the people reading this who are using Kitkat, does your "verify apps" in the general menu remains unticked for extended periods of time without ticking itself back on? If so, do you have the latest versions of google playstore and google services? (can you even use old versions of those anyway? mine seem to auto update despite me having auto update disabled in the play store)
Anyone has any idea what is causing my issue and how I could solve it?
I just noticed this happening to me. It seems that if I uncheck it, then run the play store app, "verify apps" is checked on again. I don't know how to keep it off.
