Location Request Keeps Running - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
When i look at application permission tab location request of maps google play services and android system keeps running everytime.
I guess these apps didnt behave like this before and it eats battery more.
When i look at Amplify Context Manager Wakelock wakes up device 2500 times.
Gps is closed and google location history is closed.
How can i get rid of this problem any ideas ?
Thanks.

Tried 3 different stock rims but android system using location again. Deleted all my files , checked for virus

Do you use Google now? Have you set the scanning to always scan? These things will keep them running. Mainly the Google Apps.

Just because you dont use it doesnt mean it is not running in the background. The main problem is that tied to google search so you cant remove it without removing the google search bar.
You also didnt mention your device model.
I would advise to set a logcat to run while you sleep to see what is activating the gps while you sleep.

I recorded 5min. You can find attached. Could you take a look ? My phone is n9005. Lollipop 5.0 stock based Aryamod is installed (Qs stock 5.0 installed before)

Update..
I installed cyanogenmod 12.1 without gapps and android system running location in app ops.
I tried to open my phone withour sim card and sd card it continues.
Tried whatsapp and google maps to find my location but gps couldnt find my location via wi fi and gps its strange.
Also the new thing is i couldnt open my phone manually. I need charge cable plugged to open my phone.
Strange.

I was right.
Code:
E/WindowState( 955): getStack: Window{10d143e4 u0 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.searchnow.SearchNowActivity} couldn't find taskId=61 Callers=com.android.server.wm.WindowState.computeFrameLw:1050 com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindowManager.layoutWindowLw:4914
Something is def wrong with the device at that point. I would Flash a completely stock image. And start from scratch.

[Q] Samsung Dive dependancies for ICS roms?

I am trying to get Samsung Dive working on my phone but I think the rom developer removed some files since settings just crashes when attempting to turn it on, so I want to replace them.
According to a old list the four apks needed are
IMEITracker.apk
signin.apk
MobileTrackerEngineTwo.apk
syncmldm.apk
Of these the last two are still around on my rom but I can't find the first two anywhere even in the stock samsung LPQ firmware files which I extracted on my computer, so I assume they are depreceated.
Does anyone know what else I need to get Dive to work? I am unable to use any SMS controlled tracking software due to other software choices I have made so this is important to me.
I finally figured it out by doing a diff on the list of apks from the stock firmware and my chosen rom and getting a short list of removed apks led me to the only one that sounded like a option and it worked.
For anyone else looking I only had to replace Samsungservice.apk and Dive started working great.
mine.still does't work after i put the mobiletrackengine.apk and samsungservice.apk can you list what do you have in system/app
I've added those Samsung prerequisites but when I try to enable Remote Control the small popup comes and says: Register Google account first.
But I have already google account (and samsung account) in Accounts and sync.
Do you know what that means?
I used to have Samsung dive on gingerbread and it worked.
Hi guys,
As far as I know you need "SevenEngine.apk" & "SyncmlDM.apk". It took me ages to figure out.
I hope this helps
Ok, I've installed all apks you mentioned, then remove and add google and samsung account and it seems to work but I can't connect through samsung dive. I've tried with different internet connection..
Hi, I've the same error, I only have tu push samsungservices.apk and I can log in into my samsung account, but in samsungdive, no service can connect, nor location either call logs.
Can anyone upload these files?
Thanks!

Any further advancements on the requirements of what is needed to get tracking set up. I am making sure this works after my SGS1 got stolen. On SGS2 now with custom ROM, but went to the trouble of downloading stock firmware and deodexing entire ROM to make SURE this works.
Anyone know what the gingerbread mobiltrackerUI.apk did? I have included that in my ROM as well to see if that will make any difference?
That should be enough: https://www.wuala.com/wanam/v11.5/WanamLite.DXLP9.SamsungApps.zip/?key=G5G7NSyOYU5P

Thanks, actually I have the original optus ROM and have deodexed it and have all packages from standard LP8 ROM and it still says I have to register my Google Account? I have gone on to dive......still no go? I want to enable remote control so I can eventually get the wiperreceiver.apk working from the Gingerbread ROM, if I have remote control working it won't take me long to get the app functioning on my phone I'll happily wipe my phone to test it lol, so long as I back up to ext SD card and pull the card from the phone and then test it

Problem installing Google play services

First of all, yes, I know there are other threads with this issue, but they didn't solve my case.
I have the famous problem with the shared user id. Whenever I try to install it, it says "Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID". I have tried putting it directly to /system/app, and I also have followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219029&highlight=services), but with no result. It seems to rebuild this file in the reboot, so it's useless. I have a chinese phone without CWM recovery, so I can't flash anything, but I do have root.
Please, help me install Google play services in any way! Thank you so much!

Your issue is that China devices dont have the rights to run Google apps. That is why they are not included.

Its because play services are not autherized on China based devices. You are gonna have to make it think it is another device. I did some searching and found that this is due to Google not allowing the play store on China based devices due to their lack of respecting copyrights.

Then, how you explain that my phone has installed google play store, gmail, hangouts, google maps, and more? It is JUST play services what I can't install! I doubt the error related to "shared user ID" is caused by a country restriction
Ok, now it is happening also on my HTC Desire HD... Obviously it's not caused by the region, since this one was bought in my country (Spain). Still, I wasn't able to fix it on either device... please, this is so annoying! I need help!
up, please!
I have this problem too!!!
I hope someone would help us, I don't know what else to do!
I have the same problem and have tried different solutions but none of them works. There was one solution, which works in this way that you delete some text passages from the packages.xml file. But i didn´t it in the file. I guess there must be written com.google.android.gms or something.
Maybe another one found it?

Google services are not working with wifi

since i updated to 4.4 my phone is encountering some crazy problems. One of these is: my nexus 4 does not work with my wifi (any other device works fine). Play store, google+, gmail, maps, google now, nothing is working the only thing that i can do is navigate in the internet. I already tried to make a factory reset, adjust time and date, clean the cache but nothing solved my problem

Before editing this file you need root access (rooted device).
You can use a specific editor like Hosts Editor (you can find a lot of similar apps in Play) or you can pull it, edit and push it over old one via adb at /system/ets/hosts or symlink /ets/hosts. In this case you should understand basics of networking (*nix/windows). Basically you can delete everything expect the line with: "127.0.0.1 ... localhost". Some people use this method (with intentionally wrong resolving IP) to block Google or advertisement.
If your hosts file is almost empty or there are not present Google's domains, this is nota a cause of your problems.

[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.

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 ^^

Open gapps play store error 963

Hi. I'm using CM12.1 with my quark (xt1254). Using a clean install method if I flash cm with a current gapps build (tried 1/29/16 & 1/30/16) the play store will not download apps over approx 25 MB. Play store downloads the app to 99%, restarts the download, then fails with error 963. Small apps are unaffected. Using the exact same method, but with an open gapps from 12/08/15
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e7a48os7ucj014p/open_gapps-arm-5.1-stock-20151208.zip?dl=0
, works perfectly fine. Just thought I'd see if anyone had any thoughts as to what's up. Ideas, contents, suggestions appreciated.
sd card
I had the same problem . I disconnected the SD card and now it all seems to be working again . It is not a permanent solution but a temporary solution , I hope
Hopefully it works .

I think the issue is related to the way CM12 chooses the default install location for you. The newer gapps builds may have triggered something, but I believe the root of it to be the default installation location. Please see this post for a possible permanent solution.

No joy after changing the default location? Which way did you use to change the location? Did it give you any messages? it shouldn't have, if it worked, it should just have returned a prompt.
Just to be on the safe side, I would load the gapps file that you mentioned was working in the past, and change the default location before trying any of the apps. If you already have it all loaded up, then yes, I'd also recommend you clear the cache and data from the playstore and playservices apps.
Don't know if you're using opengapps, but I took a look at their most recent builds and noticed that the file size changed slightly after 01/20/2016, so your reasoning has merit.
If you happen to be using TWRP, you could also try changing the location from recovery. Advanced -> Terminal Command -> Select and then enter the command. I really hope this helps.
I used the su terminal method. The location was definitely changed from 0 (auto) to 1 (internal). Behavior did not change at all. I am using open gapps and the working/not working is across builds (aroma thru nano/pico). Date of build appears to be the only determining factor. I originally thought size of the app mattered, but in talking with other users that seems to be less of an issue than previously thought. Also, apps that do not download from the play store cannot be side loaded either.

Ugh. I was able to recreate the behavior you're experiencing on a 2012 Nexus 7 - the only device I have access to with no SD card slot. I used the last two nightlies of CM12 and opengapps from two days ago, and also the one I mentioned from 1/20. Always had the behavior when downloading large apps, and as you say, apps not from the playstore. And yes, same behavior whether I used nano, pico, et. al.
The behavior disappears once I flash the latest nightly with the gapps from 1/20 AND change the default location. I wish I had more to give you, but since we're using different devices, there is a chance something else is different in the builds.

No worries! Since I found a working older gapps I'm inclined to let this go for now.
Which older version did you install? I'm running into this issue.

Try this. Turns out the problem is a Google play issue. One of the devs (baybutcher) posted this and I can confirm it fixed my issue. It downgrades Google play to a working version. If you are a doing a clean install just flash after gapps. If trying to fix an existing install make sure to uninstall all Google play updates then try flashing.

Did s/he mention when it will be fixed?
If you're looking for a version of Open GApps that doesn't have the double download fail with error 963. Then you should install Open GApps 2016.01.05. Don't install the 2015.12.08 version if you're using CyanogenMod! You'll end up breaking WebView on your rom if you do. You can find an Older Version option on the Open GApps Web Site and get the version I mention from there.
As others may have mentioned you can temporarily dismount your SD Card as a work around to this issue, but I preferred to downgrade rather than having to do that every time I used the Google Play Store.
As I understand the issue it's not a bug with Open GApps itself but a bug with the Google Play Store, apparently but I haven't confirmed any version of Google Play above 6.0.5 can have this issue.

If you are a doing a clean install just flash after gapps. If trying to fix an existing install make sure to uninstall all Google play updates then try flashing.

This fixed the issue for me, and I was able to install the 2 problematic apps. Strangely, I had no trouble installing some other apps, namely made by my operator (MEO music and MEO drive), which leads me to think it might be related to locale.
However, now I can't search the play store, as it force closes when tapping the search box :/
Best thread ever.
Finally it works.
Thanks everyone
