After upgrading to CM10 on my NT, I cannot get Google Now to work. I've tried three different ROMs, fake GPS applications, every setting change I can, complete wipes and reloads... It keeps telling me that Location Services are off - even though I have them on. Has anybody been able to get Google Now to work on their NT? Any ideas on how to help me?

I've been having a weird problem with my Vibrant for the past ten hours or so, and can't seem to find a solution. I was running stock rooted JI6 and attempted to apply some app updates through the Market, but began getting network connection errors. I gave it several minutes, and when it refused to let me in, I restarted the phone, which had no effect. I did an ODIN restore and reverted to factory settings, and the phone refused to sign me into my Google account, saying it couldn't establish a reliable connection. I hunted around and eventually got signed in using the YouTube app workaround, but now when I try to access the Market it says the server is unavailable.
I haven't heard any buzz about a major outage, so I assume this is not something on Google's end. For the record, my connection is fine (tried to sign in to Market on both 3G and WiFi, no go, but browser and other internet-connected apps work fine, as do Google's sync services once I've managed to sign in through YouTube), and my Google account appears entirely normal PC-side. I saw an old thread about people having problems in China etc. after Google was partially blocked there, but as I'm in the United States, I don't think that applies. I am completely at a loss, and now I'm stuck with a factory-settings phone with no apps because I can't get into the Market.
I've followed the XDA forum for a couple months now, but this is my first post. I'll be heading to a T-Mobile store to ask them about it later today, but I'm hoping you folks will be able to shine some light on the subject in the meantime and perhaps even save me the trouble. I'm still pretty new to smartphones and Android, so go much beyond rooting and ODIN 101 and I'm quite ignorant. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks for your attention!
Market works fine on my end. Try clearing the data on market that has helped me in the past. From home screen menu/ settings/ applications/ manage apps/ market/ clear data and cache reboot.
There's no entry for the Market in my apps list, since it's pre-installed.

No change.
Does anyone know how to solve this? I have been searching things for hours and I can't find a solution. There are lot's of threads around here posted, none with a solution.
The problem in a nutshell is that something becomes corrupt after the application is updated. After that, Google Maps no longer opens.
When you try to open the application, it opens for 7 seconds and then closes. The interface loads, but the maps do not show up. I have cleared the cache, uninstalled it, rebooted, even gone as far as deleting the data manually as my phone is rooted. Even after that, and re-installation, the application's state does not change. It still crashes after opening.
This is very frustrating, does anyone have a solution that works? I've even read that formatting the SD card "should" help, but it doesn't.
EDIT:
Figured it out. Looks like the application "Chainfire3D" is to blame here. Just having it installed without any configuration causes the Google Maps / Sky Map application to crash.

Bump? I still haven't figured this out.
Could you please posrt which ROM do you have first?
Also, have you tried doing a complete wipe and reinstall to see if the problem is fixed?
I'm using stock ROM. I'm pretty sure a complete wipe would work. But I'd rather not do that, that shouldn't be the answer to everything here. There must be hundreds of threads out there with no solution posted.
Bump? *sigh*
As you have found no answer besides the obvious one .
As it is the answer to many problems due to the fact that removing an app may not result in a broken file getting removed or some other part of the OS that is corrupted being fixed .
Choice is yours continue sighing and searching > take phone to a service centre who will in the first instance factory reset it or do it yourself .
Alternative might be the Google maps team .

If it's just a corrupt file that needs to be removed then in theory; it's just a matter of deleting the files. I need to make sure it's completely uninstalled, somehow..
Does anyone know where android stores cache files and application data?
I just noticed, "Google Sky Map" doesn't open either. It has the exact same issue where the map data does not show and then the application closes.

Hello Everyone, let me start by saying I have been doing so much reading on this webpage in the past 24 hours (and casually browsed before) and I just want to say thanks. The site is awesome and the users are even better.
I recently installed ia3 of Android on Intel on my Acer Iconia W700 tablet. The guide to install was fantastic. I've had some issues getting GApps installed but I finally got them working where I went thru the google setup and everything and logged into GMail able to see everything so I tried my luck with the play Store.
The App loads and says "No Connection, Retry" I have tried installing a new .apk a few times, I even tried some of the suggestions regarding the ETC file (editing is, deleting it and all sorts of reboots etc) I've tried deleting the apk entirely and reinstalling and I just can't quite seem to figure it out. I am even able to install play when I am in system/app and long press and click install and I notice the version of play updated. Still having the same no connection error when the store opens up.
I know it must at least have an internet connection because anything I start typing into the search box it offers suggestions based on what I am typing. Ex: when i type in "Chrome" it populates suggestions such as "Chrome, chromecast, chromecast app, chrome browser, etc."
There has got to be something I am either doing wrong, or can try a different way. Thank you in advance for any help, and I'll make sure to click some thanks buttons along the way.

I keep getting this error and it seems to only happen when accessing location. I have a Tasker rule to have location turned off and it only turns on for certain apps that require it (Maps, Google Now, Espn apps, etc), every time I open those apps and the rule gets executed this error pops up. I've searched this problem and tried every suggestion, wipe cache/data, uninstall updates, factory reset, reset app defaults, install previous version, nothing seems to work. Version 5.2 seems to not give me the error, but certain Google apps won't function without the updated version, and even if I live without them, Play Services just updates itself (despite turning Auto-Updates off and detaching it from the Market in TB). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, it's an irritating error to frequently receive.
Same problem
I have this exact problem and like the OP have tried everything. Nothing seems to work. Any help would be much appreciated!

I finally figured out what was causing it, I had a Location Consent Disabler mod that was causing it. The new version of Play Services lets you select not to show the pop up again making the mod obsolete. If you have that mod, uninstall and it should go away
Hey I too had the same mod. thanks for point it out.
I have an Atrix 4g running CM11. Google accounts used to work perfectly, but suddenly, I can't sync any more, and removing the accounts with intent of setting them up again rendered me unable to login any more, saying that the phone "can't get a reliable connection."
The only thing that changed that I can think of is that I installed Clean Master and a lot of other CM applications, such as the launcher, browser and the lockscreen. I don't see how this would affect it, however, because of the steps I've already taken to try and fix this.
And I've tried everything. From changing my android ID, to reinstalling CM11, to installing an update to CM11, to trying other ROMs (oddly, no other ROM besides CM11 could boot, which was also new behaviour). I know that the problem is in my device, because I can't sign in with any google account on it, but I can sign in with those accounts on other devices. I've tried everything, and I'm completely stumped as to what could cause this.
Bump. I really need a solution to this.

You must turn off the two step verification on your gmail account before logging into your sync your Google (motoblur) account to the phone.
Apparently the phone detects that the Google server is asking for additional information and incorrectly reports that your username and password do not match. At the minimum, the software should inform you that you need to turn off the 2-step verification and then try again.

I know this is a little late, but you say you couldn't boot into any other ROM? Did we forget that there's a difference between normal and bigpart?
