I have noticed the same and have been able to replicate on multiple different devices. Frustrating because I used it constantly.
Why would Google remove such a useful feature?!?!

Where app

I've been trying to find the where app for a few days and can't locate it in the market. I removed the sim and it still didn't show up (that worked for a few other apps). Anybody have any idea what's up with Where?

What's the Where app?
I'm just taking a guess, but if you're looking for WhatsApp, it's here:

I had the same problem with my Atrix. The Where guys are awesome. They sent me the apk and then automatically sent updates every time one came out. Look them up and send them a note. It was one of the best app experiences I've had,

So after the update, how do I search my phone for files?

What's the easiest way to do a search of the entire phone for file names like music, apps, etc...?
Download the old apk and replace are you stock or rooted?

You must be rooted to stick if not it will stop working after each reboot, which gs3 do you have?

[Q] Please Help! Unable to sign into gmail and playstore

Hi All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 International Edition. I installed JIMBO_MIUI_V-2.9.21_SGS3_INTL on my phone and all was good for a day or so. Then I noticed that I could not got into Play Store. it would open but just show Loading and the circle would keep spinning around. I downloaded several google store apks from 4shared.com and tried installing them but nothing worked. I would still get the same circle and loading sign...
I tried re installing the ROM. After re install I could not even sign into my gmail account. It would just show "Signing In, This can take a few minutes" and remain stuck on this screen...
I have tried to install several other custom ROMs but to no avail. I have tried full wipe, factory reset, re-rooting using cf etc..
The only time that I can sign in is if I flash a stock ROM using ODIN and then update Samsing Apps... If I try to flash any custom ROM after that I am back to the same problem...
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Try clearing data of the play store app then opening it again.. and gmail.. this has work in the past for me

Well, a few of the countries have recently blocked YouTube due to the recent controversial YouTube video backlash.
That has affected Gmail and play store on android devices also. Plus the YouTube app obviously. So nothing wrong with your device I'm guessing

I think that might be the reason. The other guy who was complaining of the same issue was from Pakistan and I believe youtube has been blocked in that country after that recent controversial video.
But still it doesn't make sense that this guy can access his account using stock rom.

All people living in pakistan have this issue and here is the only solution. Download "hotspot shield vpn" , install it and then start protection. It will solve all your google related issues, even you can access youtube
