[Q] Google Maps error after rom flash - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I'm using a Spice Mi-350 phone(It is the same as Lenovo A60). On the stock Google Maps worked perfectly. But recently i flashed Yonip 5.3.7 Rebirth ROM. Since then Google Maps does not work anymore. When ever i open it, it says 'This application requires a working data connection'. I have a fully working data connection and every other app on my phone can access the internet except for Google Maps and it's related apps(like Navigation,Places,Local,etc).
Here is the download link for the Yonip 5.3.7 Rebirth ROM.

I would be really very grateful if someone can please check out the problem and detect what is causing the error.
Thanks in advance!

Not really sure this will solve your issue, but sometimes wiping cache and dalvik cache from recovery can solve these issues.

Along with wiping cache and dalvik, I'd suggest going in and fixing permissions as well. Also, go in to setting and clear data.

Tried everything still not working
I restored offline map data from my SD Card(from the Android folder)
Offline map loaded. GPS detected position.
But the app couldn't access internet.

Hmm, kinda dodgey... Couldn't find an actual forum for this ROM, but I did find this with a good search. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317804&page=149. Some folks in there are talking about 3g issues around page 144/145 or so. Nandroid back to your most recent back up. Does maps work correctly there?

Did the map application come as part of the ROM, or u installed it seperatly from market? Try installing a signed gapps from goo.im for your android version and see if that helps.

The Yonip 5.3.7 is actually just an ICS themed ROM of the original 2.3.5. Google Maps worked perfectly on the original ROM(by original i don't mean stock ROM, it was a slightly modified custom ROM by javum).

Figured it out! Maps 6.14.* is the culprit. Version 6.12 nd below work perfectly! Hopefully 6.15 will work too!

actually i did full wipe before flashing because i came from a gingerbread based ROM. Well, the market is working really.. It's just slow you know, very very slow if i might add. I dont have any problem with browsing, uploading, downloading songs, streaming or anything else that use data package.. It's just the market that has a problem..

[Q] HELP! GAPPS (market) not working after flash

Hi,
I am new to the forum and new to rooting/flashing mods as well. I have the AT&T version of the Galaxy S2. I just recently rooted and flashed the most recent CM9 nightly on my phone and everything worked great except a, what i hope to be, minor issue. When I first rebooted my phone after the flash, everything looked great but It was apparent my GAPPS zip had not installed correctly as I couldn't see my e-mail or the Play Store (obviously I'm needing to recover things). I re-flashed GAPPS, rebooted, and I saw the Play Store and my e-mail. My problem is when I opened the Play Store, it got stuck on the sign-in. It eventually signed in, I guess (my account has a check by it if I select "manage accounts"). SO, i'm signed in but nothing is loading. I cannot do any searches or retrieve apps. Baiscally, I can't use the Play Store. My phone works fine, otherwise, and it seems the rom flashed cleanly. I followed every instruction very carefully. Please help! I need to retrieve my backup from Titanium and use the market. Don't even have my wi-fi at this point! Thank you in advance if someone can respond quickly.
UPDATE: I think i have 4.0.3 gapps instead of 4.0.4 which is obviously my CM version..this is the entire problem? I just re-flashed *without* wiping data and I'm still getting the same problem. I have the check mark but it's not loading. Cannot turn on wifi. Now Market is not updating to Play Store. What is my problem? Sorry for so much detail.
-Kevin / elevation
IF YOU only want the google play (market) you can use this
full wipe and reflash with latest gapps.
latest gapps are always at goo-inside.me/gapps
Could also try clearing the app data in manage apps.
THANK YOU!

[Q] eXperience™ v2.1 GPS problems

Hi. Today I installed the ROM eXperience v.2.1 following the procedure. I started with .54 Stock Rom, flashed .10 and rooted, flashed .54, installed Atis52 CMW 6.0.1.2, flashed zip file of the ROM, in Aroma I selected Europeans Settings for GPS (I live in Italy), finished installing, cleared cache etc, powered off after first boot when asked, and reinstalled all app. Location based in data\mobile cells doesn't work either, Google Maps asks always to check settings for location. GPS doesn't work at all. What do I do?
when Aroma installer asked for what apps to remove, u checked or unchecked Maps n Location Services??
u needed to UNCHECK that entry for gps to work. now u have to run the process again from beginning starting from stock ROM

Thank you, I solved the problem the way you say also (also by changing GPS settings from Europeans to Default). Anyway, location based on mobile network\WIFI still doesn't work, anyone knows why?
Have u checked it in settings? What does it say?

I checked. Right know it's on (I mean location based on mobile network), but it does not work. If I open Maps and ask for the location, a popup tell me to check settings to set a source of data for establish the location).
U reflashed stock Rom? GPS works ok?
Sent from my Xperia Sola (XDA for Android)
I started from scratch. GPS is working correctly now (I changed in Aroma GPS settings, previously I used Europeans, now Defaults ones), but as I said mobile network based location doesn't work. In this case Maps asks me to check Settings, but there everything is ok (Mobile network and WIFI based location is ON).
This is strange. If location worked ok in stock than it should work here also. This Rom only modifies stock,

If GPS is not available Maps usually uses mobile network based location to give the user an approximative location on the map. In my case, despite having network based location setting turned on in Settings-Location, Maps ask me to setup a source for location. That's the problem.
Have u tried reinstalling maps from play store.

You were right.
Easiest solution:
Download "Google apps package" (Gapp's) for ICS JB 4.0.4
Transfer zip file to internal memory
Boot to CWM recovery and install zip
I checked GPS and it's finally working. Good luck!

hi guys. I've been having the same problem because i totally didn't see the mentioned settings to get the gps to work. So to fix this, i have to re-flash the rom isn't it? So do I have to re-flash the stock rom and repeat the process all over again, or do i just need to re-install the experience v2.1 from recovery?

[Q] Play Store Problem ( No Connecction )

HI,
I have been facing this problem from last 3 days, i updated MIUI and after that its not working.
Here is what i have done so far.
Edit the host file and put "127.0.0.1 localhost" No Luck.
there was nothing else in the host file which i can comment out, so i even try to paste the IP and then comment it out with # Still Nothing.
Cleared " Play Store Cache" > Nothing
Reset the " Time and Date" > Nothing
Factory Rest the device > No Luck
Install another rom " CM Based" Still the same
Any thing i can find on internet i tried but still stuck with it.
There is one strange thing though, if i try to add an account or open play store with "Mobile Data Connection" its working but not with WIFI.
My wifi is Ok and i even try at a friend's house with his Wifi Connection.
Same Issue.
its driving me crazy so anything else i miss or i can do please suggest.
Thank You
Erase play store data, run it, enter your account details.
If it still doesn't work, reflash gapps.

Try to do the various wipe (excluding the wipe data) and reflash the ROM. For curiosity, which version of ROM you are using?
I had sepratly formated (System, Data,Cache) from mounts and storage.
I am using "MIUI ASNET 3.11.29" i flashed the new verson and then revert back to old one still same.
I don't know why its working with data connection and not Wifi.

Same problem and i tried Stock Rom but still nothing
Same issue here.
Tried everything, and someone told that its related to wifi router ARP - so sorted it out too but result was negative.
And then found at google that its related to some wifi API bug and needs a patch fix. Still searching in dark

Don't think thats the case, cuz i tried with different routers, They can all have the same problem.
But still maybe something we may found which can help
Try these things :
Clear data, cach and uninstall update of play store.. force close to:
1- google play store
2- google play sevices
3- google services framework
Then restart ur phone
Delete gmail from sittings account then sign in
Stop freedom and closed if it's still work
If u r missid up with host file by any program.. u should try fixed by install any app change in host like adfree or adaway .. open app .. hide Ad then restore to default
Remove u battery about 2 minutes
If all these not fixed the problame ..so call samsung ^^

were you on ROW version of ROM
if yes then you have to first flash CN based firmware via flashtool
then follow the above process.
what worked for me is i flashed phone using S135 with CWM chinese recovery -->SP flash tools.
Very important that backup everything before you do anything..
Thanks for the heads up....i have flashed the rom fine and it is amazing .
but again i need ur help as once installed the contacts from my google account is no more available in the sync only people details and app data are only available.
Did i do something wrong.

I had the same problem but didn't manage to solve it, so I moved to a different ROM. If that's solved, then I'll give the ROM another try because it felt really good.
Hey...
This is what i have done ....to get the rom on to the phone....First i flashed this Chinese rom (P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps) and booted the phone fully once and then i flashed the miui rom in this thread on to the above rom from Chinese recovery that came with the S135 rom and it flashed perfectly.Below i am giving u the link to the Chinese rom.

So I went ahead and searched for MIUI gapps for android 4.4.2 and found it on miui forums. Flashed it and now i am able to sync my contacts with google. In fact even able to save new contacts to google as well. I have shared these gapps on my google drive here
So anyone who wants to make this ROM a 100% perfect can download it flash it.
Steps are very simple:
Download gapps from the link above and save it on your phone. Internal / External does not matter
Reboot to recovery mode
Install / Flash gapps zip file
Wipe cache and Dalvik
Reboot
Go to settings -> accounts -> all -> google and you will find now you can even sync contacts and calendar with google
Hope this helps anyone who wants to use this ROM along with google sync.
And, most importantly, thank you to the original devs for making this rom.
Is this rom repartitioned or can it be?

thats cool. is google search is working ? and email etc
My corporate email did not work with stock email app. So I used mailwise. Haven't tried google search yet. As, first thing i wanna try to do is try to bring back the 8gb internal partition. Coz after after installing this rom, my 8gb phone is now 4gb. Don't want to burden the phone much before i figure this out.
