Google Maps: Location with Wlan / LBS doesn't work - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello *.*
i have a problem with Android 4.2 (i use MIUI 3.10.11 with a Xiaocai X9, by the way).
Google Maps and any other App using Location services only seems to work with GPS. Location isn't recognized via wlan / 3g.
I alredy upgraded to the newest Play Store 4.4.2.2.
I reinstalled Google Play Services (4.0.34).
I extracted NetworkLocation.apk from Minimalistic GApps 4.3 (http://d-h.st/mBO) and copied it to /system/apps
And yes, i rebooted after every change.
But still no luck.
However, apps like "Antennas" work pretty well and are recognizing my location via LBS.
Any ideas?

How to restore Google Maps, Navigation, Places, Latitude ?

Ok. My problem is that while trying to upgrade to a newer version of Google Maps (5.6), I had to uninstall my older version (5.2) using Titanium Backup app. But I did not know that removing Google Maps would also remove Navigation, Places & Latitude. Now all of them are gone from my phone and the new package of Google Maps (version 5.6, size 6.39MB) is also NOT INSTALLING on the phone! So what is the remedy left now? Can I download Google Maps from the Market to install it on my phone?
Samsung Apps updater on the phone try .Or reinstall apk from saved apk .

[Q] Almost there, GApps on Huawei S7-601w

So, I have the Huawei S7-601w, mind the w in the product name. It's a Huawei Mediapad 7 Vogue BUT the wifi only version (no cell or 3G). This version is only sold in China where I currently live, so only a Chinese ROM is available. And as you might know, a Chinese ROM means no GAPPS.
I tried to flash a WW rom of a 3G version (T for the chinese 3G and U for the WW 3G) but that didn't work out well.
Next, I tried to root it. Nowadays that's easy with any one click root software. SRS Root and OneClickRoot didn't work, I found this site with recommends the "Da-Shi" root progam. Please DO use google translate if you want to follow the link . I hit some lucky clicks in the program and got my tablet ROOTED. Hurray for me.
Next I installed ES File Explorer and downloaded the GApps for my android version, which is 4.2.1. I was a bit suprised to find all the google apps already in the /system/apps/ folder. If they are in this folder, why are they not installed automatically when booting?
Anyway, I installed all the necessary android apks
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
OneTimeInitializer.apk
Phonesky.apk
GSMCore.apk
GMail2.apk
GSM_Maps.apk
PlusOne.apk
YouTube.apk
This made Maps, Local, Navigation, Gmail, Google+, Messenger, Youtube and Google Settings WORKING.
Furthermore Contacts, Calender, photos etc.. are syncing without problems. :good:
The only thing which is not working is the Play Store itself. It is starting up correctly and does not crash. I only get the "No Connection - Retry" screen.
The easy solution here would be to clear the cache, remove Play store updates, etc... but I tried all of that. A nice overview can be found in this post.
also, sometimes, mainly when I open Play Store, I get the message "Unfortunately, the process com.gapps has stopped.
Quite a story,now my question.
So, I got this far. Any ideas to get this running completely?
Thanks in advance

Updating google play services problems

Hello I'm running viper 3.1.4 Jelly bean rom
everything was fine until the latest google play services update
after the update :
google apps are crashing
google now shows sign in error
play store shows connection error
Sync problems with "people details" not able to sync

Also if i install Google play services v4 everything works fine No more crash alerts & sync works normally (except for apps requiring to update )
Nothing works, Help!
Thanks in advance
p.s nothing is wrong with my google account i tried using it on another device with no problems

Update Google Services

Can I update the google services? Lots of apps I want to use require the google services to be updated.
A lot of Google apps scream that they want the latest Google Play Services (GpS), but in reality will function with any version of GpS, and sometimes even without any GpS at all (just a dummy one), see this thread : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=550506
In reality, just install these versions of google stuff as per instructions into /system/priv-app :
Google Account Manager 4.4.4
Google Play Services (GMS) 7.0.99
Google Play Store 5.5.12
Google Services Framework 4.4.4
And create /system/app/com.google.android.gms-1.apk folder to block GpS from updating.
Whatever app cannot work without the latest GpS for real, just find an older version of it, install it into /system/priv-app, and create an appropriate folder in /system/app (as above) in order to block the updates for this specific app.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Could be worse, could be CHINESE
Anyway, there is not much to it, other than people disabling GpS via that dummy app and then trying different gapps to see if they work.
