I've been using CM 10.1 since last year, and I've had pretty much no problems with overall functionality--until a few days ago.
After upgrading to cm-10.1-20130324-NIGHTLY-i777 from the 3/23 nightly, I noticed that my Google Maps app stopped working.
Any time I open the app, it (sometimes) briefly shows my location ("within 20 meters") as a blue dot, then furiously scrolls away and crashes completely without loading anything on the map except for the default white background. Then I get a pop-up message that says, "Unfortunately, Maps has stopped."
This happens any time I try to open the Maps app while connected to the internet, regardless of whether I'm using Wi-Fi or mobile data.
I have tried everything including clearing the cache, clearing data, reinstalling Maps, reverting to an older version of Maps, reverting to an older CM nightly, upgrading to today's (3/27) CM nightly, turning location settings on and off, and even doing a battery pull. Nothing seems to work.
Furthermore, the Navigation app continues to work just fine, so I'm certain this is a problem specific to the Google Maps.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Do a full wipe and reflash the rom.
I did this, and it fixed the Maps issue.
however, in the process of rebooting my phone into recovery, the power button has stopped working.
I don't think its a hardware issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

It seems my phone is no longer syncing normally as expected. GMail doesn't seem to be pushing email and the built-in EMail app isn't notifying me either. Other random apps aren't syncing properly, either. It happens over both 3G & Wi-Fi. Sometimes restarting will fix for a moment as everything gets synced and notifications pop up for G/EMail. Twitter is about the only app that seems to be working properly.
Also GPS constantly stops working. A restart usually will re-enable it but it keeps failing. Opening Maps or other GPS-enabled apps does not get fix (GPS icon never appears). Even the GPS On/Off toggle does nothing most of the time.
I'm running Eclipse 1.3 on a 2.3.4 kernel with the beautiful ICS theme (Email app NOT themed). No settings were ever changed and checked to be set properly. I've even tried wiping Cache/Davik without success. I want to see if there is anything I can do before trying to Wiping/SBF back to 2.3.4 stock and reflashing.
It's like one day it decided to crap out. I hadn't changed any settings or installed new apps, was on nottachtrix, and suddenly when the wifi or mobile data are on the phone hangs left and right. Oh and the battery won't charge up properly (hardly at all) when it's in this state; off the charger it runs down to zero in just a few hours. Turn off all connectivity & it works just fine. Wtf?
I've fully fastboot wiped, moved back to a good fruitcake, moved to a good blur 2.3.4 rom, and within 24 hours the glitches slowly return. The fact that wifi works leads me to think software issue not hardware, but I'm at a loss otherwise.

UPDATE: nvm fixed it.
Here's what I found: My stock email app (which was synced to my work email) had somehow gone haywire. Since I only run modified stock roms, and this was a stock app, the issue persisted through every full wipe / reflash I'd gone through.
Symptoms were as described above. "Motorola Services" was eating up ~25% of a given battery charge because it was constantly pinging to sync my contacts -- in the meantime, that process was also taking priority over every other task I tried to do (like view contacts, launch other apps, etc) causing frequent FC errors that would all resolve themselves if I pressed "Wait." If I disabled wifi and 3G, the runaway sync process would stop and my phone would act normally.
So I've deleted that email account; that leaves me with my Blur and Gmail accounts on the phone. Three days and no problems whatsoever; "Motorola Services" doesn't even show up on the list of apps draining the battery anymore.
Hi,
I just flashed CM9-ZIII. I keep getting this message ("NetworkLocationProvider stopped working") pop up. Usually with an app that uses GPS eg, maps, weather. Strangely I didn't notice this the first time I flashed this ROM. Is this a known issue?
Hi folks. Havin an issue with my VZW S4. When i go into an app that uses gps (ie ingress) the gps won't initiate. if i toggle it on and off it turns on and locks immediately. Its done this 3 times now in the past few weeks, i've factory reset twice which fixes it and it just did it again. I've cleared data on ingress, maps and google search, trying to think of anything that uses location. i'm getting tired of setting up my phone again, any ideas? Thanks.
So figured out the issue. Its something with google play services. I went into the location menu and guess i just never noticed that google play services was down in the list of recent apps to use location. When the gps issue starts, if i go in and clear data on google play services, the gps kicks back in in a second or two. So not sure why, but thats the app thats causing it. At least i don't have to do a factory reset anymore when it happens. sigh.
Was this stock Rom, or custom Rom?
Hello. As I mentioned in the title, I have an orange wifi and mobile connection icon for a few days. Sometimes it turns back white, but the issues are still there. Internet works, but Google Play Store says "No connection" or connects and gets stuck at "Downloading" app (downloading new app or even updating current app). Also, some apps have trouble connecting, some of them (i.e. Google Chrome, Skype, Facebook) work perfectly with no issues.
I tried:
-Rebooting many times. Rebooting to safe mode - same issue.
-Stopping app & deleting cache and data from: Google Play, Google Play Services, Download Manager, Google Services Framework.
-Uninstalling all updates from Google Play Store. After that, it did not update itself.
-Checking hosts file - everything is ok.
-Removing and adding my Google account.
-Restarting the router.
-Booting into recovery and wiping Dalvik, Cache.
These issues have never happened before. I think it's something with google apps/services, but none of the above fixed it.
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 mini running CM 11 (Kitkat 4.4), rooted. (It worked for a long time without any issues)
Anyone has any ideas? Have you encountered this problem before? I don't want to do the factory reset, but I think it's the only option.
