Google Maps on S5 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Anyone else having problems with Gmaps? It will work for me on one route but on the next, it will try to start me from my last starting point or some random street 50 miles away. Rebooted and still had the same problem. Had to install Waze and that worked instantly so I'm guessing it's not the GPS hardware.

Has the same problem. Cleared the data, uninstalled the update then reinstalled from play store. All is working.

Weird
Used it a few times on mine and had worked okay.
I will try some more.

Google maps has been buggy lately, BUT on top of that ever since the 4.4 kikat update for my note 3, s4, and s5 my google maps/gps has been slightly off and acting funky...Delayed somehow..

I haven not noticed any issues with my gmaps so far though I don't use it often.
I would going to just suggest using waze, it uses more battery but I think it is worth it.

When maps goes bad it goes really bad. Even after clearing the cache and uninstall, I don't think I can trust it.

Google Play Store bad manifest

Since about Monday, when I try to update several applications in the Google Play Store, I receive the error message "Package file has a bad manifest" when it tries to install the update. I have never seen this message before. Can someone advise on how to fix this error?
Very much a +1 here
This appeared randomly a few days ago and applies to some installed apps and also to new apps such as San Andreas.
Very frustrating.. If anyone could help us it would be greatly appreciated.
I would suggest you to go to applications and uninstall Google play updates... Later Google play will auto install to the latest version

Already tried that a few times and the same issue

Quite annoying... Hope it doesn't happen again

I'm having this problem too. Been researching it and other people experiencing it have bad internet connections, and I just tested my connection too and it's terrible so must be caused by corruption. Gonna try again on a better connection.

No Connection to Play Store

I got a replacement phone and had this issue after rooting/s-off. On Sense ROM's no problems. On AOSP/AOKP ROM's I get no connection to Play Store. So I ran REV3NT3CH's downgrade/upgrade guide and all went well. Flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and wiped all but micro sd manually 3x. Flashed Tachyon 1.2....same problem. Google sync works but no connection to Play Store. Restored Sundream ROM and it works. I'm at a total loss. Makes no sense. Any help would be appreciated.

Ummm... This ones tricky...how many devices do you have (or Google THINKS you have active) associated with your Google login? There is a limit of 10... Different ROMs in the same device can be seen as different devices in some cases.
Also, have you tried making a new Google account and trying that?

Thanks man. Just getting ready to try that. Fingers crossed

Didn't work. I even added a new account and my phone won't register with google. But I do have a new gmail account that works. And the calendar and contacts sync. Play store refuses to see my phone. I'm so confused.

So just to double check, you did a factory reset, or at the very least cleared data on the Play Store app, and removed your existing Google account from the phone, then started the Play Store and nothing?
Are you restoring data via TiBu or something similar when you install these ROMs, or does it do this on a clean install?
Did you go to the Play Store on a PC and click on the Settings Cog icon in the upper right hand corner, select Settings from the drop-down, and see how many devices you have associated with your account?

Clean install, nothing restored or downloaded, cleared old devices,full manual wipe 3x, removed old Google acct and added new. Same issue. But it doesn't matter now cause I did a simple restart this morning, started to boot up, shut down.....dead. Won't power on normally or to bootloader, no charge light. Nothing. Nada. Somehow I convinced Verizon to send a replacement. Hope this one goes better! Thanks for all your help
Think this was all a phone issue. Mods please delete thread.

Wait... What did you mean "phone issue"? What did you determine the issue and fix was?
Even if this something extremely stupid, the solution might help someone else, please share.

I assume so since the day after all this the phone went dead. Can't say for sure but I got my new replacement from Verizon yesterday and did the exact same rooting and s-off and I have no issues. But....the only thing I did differently was flashed Tachyon1.2 instead of EclipticRez v9 for rumrunner s-off. Could have been the issue I suppose but I know rumrunner was confirmed working with EclipticRez and I haven't seen anyone else with the same issue. Truly strange tho

Free up some memory till we get root

If anybody else is having issues running out of memory before we get root, here's what you can do.
Go to Settings>Apps, scroll to all, and see which ones you can Disable.
I haven't had any issues since I did that.
Also, ART has given me a lot of issues. If you don't know what it is then your fine.
Here's a link to see which apps can be disabled. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2829339

Uninstall Sprint Recommended Apps. Or it reinstalls Nascar/NBA and all the other crap. I uninstalled them, rebooted, only for Sprint Recommended Apps to reinstall them. I disabled or uninstalled almost all bloatware. Can't get rid of Sprint ID or Sprint Zone. I actually use the Zone tho.

Yeah, the Sprint stuff we're stuck with til we get root/unlock. If Sprint/LG stays true to form, we won't even be able to remove bloat until we get unlock.
I'm a minimalist as far as my phone, so I have very few apps and widgets. Im always modifying things to make stock better.
It amazes me though that we have 3gigs of memory and it easily goes down to 500mb. That's when I start having issues and why I posted this.
I don't even use FB or G+.
Can't wait for root/unlock to see what this phone is really capable of.

Actually I've gotta give it up to Sprint/lg for actually giving us the ability to remove about 95% of the bloat. The very few that I actually couldn't uninstall I just hid. May not be perfect, but an effort was made to allow us some control, and that's a great start. Hope to see more of this in the future. [emoji106]
Sin, thanks for the tip.
Sorry wrong thread. Please delete

I hadn't thought to run ART, but I decided to try it out. It's actually super smooth for me, no issues aside from Pandora, but I fixed that. No weird freezes or reboots like I had on my Note. The only thing that hangs slightly is Media Browser, but it's usable.
If only we had Xposed for ART. And root... good things come in time though.
I have been using an app for a few years now with some pretty good customization. Fast Reboot Pro. There is also a lite version. It works great for me. You can decide which apps it handles and if it will free memory when you unlock or lock your phone. Also a widget to free up memory when you need a quick boost, which is the way I use it.

Why would you disable them? Try clearing cache and data on them. If that doesnt work you can try to get copies of the apks.

I had no issues with ART for about 2 weeks. Then one night I went to sleep woke up and some apps as well as some games started to act very funny. They would load then crash out the Facebook app itself would hang forever and never work yet the night before everything was working fine. I went back to dalvik and I've had zero issues since that time. ART was nice minus the issues I had I would love to keep using it.

Android Run Time. It's supposed to be better, more efficient than dalvik. It's under Developer options in settings.

Problem connecting to Google

My problem started yesterday, Play Store won't load anything just times out, maps won't load, can't even do a Google search, any other search engine such as Yahoo works. YouTube and Gmail work as well. It shows I am also connected with lte. I was on Omni ROM so I decided to Odin to stock. While on stock I checked to see if I could preform a google search and I could. Proceeded to load up an older version of Omni and it worked until I signed into my Google account. No matter if it is PAC ROM or Omni after I sign in, everything mentioned above stops working again.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Forgot to mention when I'm on WiFi everything works, even while signed into my Google account. Its only when connected to to Verizon network that the problem happens. I have already called Verizon and they said no problems in my area.

Hvae you tried rebooting.. Close the play store than reboot and let it load again..
Sometimes it takes a few mins for the "Agree to terms" pop up comes up

Store loads, but only on WiFi. I'm wondering if this could be a problem with the Sim card. Like I said when I go to the Play Store on my computer it shows my device as not having a carrier.

Hmm not sure.. I have never come across that issue before? And this only happens on Omni? Touchwiz or another AOSP Rom works fine?

So far all AOSP Roms. I have tried omni, PAC, and cm11. Ran out of time last night so I will try Touchwiz tonight.
Edit: Another update. Still haven't been able to test out Touchwiz roms, but I have found that when I try to do speed test using either speedtest.net app or a no plugin based test in a browser upload test just sits there and does nothing. Download speeds are fine though. And yet I'm on mobile data right now and can obviously I can send out request to servers to get data. And send out data to update my post here.

Finally was able to try Touch wiz roms. They seem to continue to work. Looks like I will be stuck on Touchwiz. I even tried to flash another aosp after running Touchwiz for a bit and problem came back.
Just a bit of an update. After a month of running Alliance rom 26 I decided to give aosp rom another go, hate touchwiz. Now I didn't do anything different than I used to, but I'm happily on Omni rom again and everything is working. Still don't really know what the deal was. At one point during this past month my desktop computer stopped working with Google services just like my phone did, but I was able to restore it by flushing the dns cache.

Jasmine rom port for note 3 verizon galaxy.

I am having rediculous issues with Netflix and Pandora and i have no idea what to do. I have tried reinstalling and tried clearing and reinstalling. I saw that this can be fixed but how exactly can this be fixed?.
