Since yesterday I've been experiencing issues with location features on non-Google apps. Specifically:
Waze boots then FCs.
Facebook can't find my location when I try to check in, but CAN find my location if I tap the location icon when writing a status update.
Google apps are unaffected. Navigation works fine and check ins via the G+ app also work properly.
The only things I've done since the last time I used Waze or Facebook was to install Rootkeeper and attempt to install the latest OTA. The OTA installation failed at the bootloader so I don't think any system changes were made.
Regardless, I've since uninstalled Rootkeeper and flashed the odexed, updated stock ROM that viperboy posted but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am also experiencing issues with my location update. This started after the update was installed on my device. My phone reads "current location" but never updates. I have rebooted many times but no fix.

I am encountering the same issue. I justed restored my One to a unrooted stock state last night. This morning ran into the same issue of Waze closing when trying to launch it. Also noticed that the location displayed on the phone now says ""My Location", Yelp and Foursquare will not display useful info unless I get a GPS signal. Foursquare shows me results all over the globe (Tel Aviv, Sai Paulo) and when the map appears in Yelp it is off the coast of West Africa....

Lol. Wow. I wonder if anyone else has this issue. If so, HTC needs to push a fix soon.

Well looks like a factory restore has resolved my issues. Thank goodness for Helium.
Factory reset worked for me as well. Thanks, Helium!!
I hate to do a factory reset when I just setup my phone. I'm not rooted yet so I can't make a backup.

My Google now also isn't showing location or weather. The Facebook check in feature also does not detect my location.

I cannot post links yet but it looks like Google is aware of it. Seems to be limited to HTC devices so far. Looks to be related to the recent Google play services update. Makes me wonder what HTC did that could cause this....

Same issue here... I can't even get a basic (tower-triangulated) location in Google Maps with my GPS off.

I haven't seen that but I have seen my market go from english to spanish for no apparent reason. I rebooted and that fixed it. Maybe try rebooting.
I've had it twice, a quick update resolved it both times.
If it's not coming, go to My Apps in the market to manually make it happen.

On mine this happened too but it would never install the update. Then I realized it restored a market update that was loaded onto my phone running cm7. It must've backed it up and then restored to my xoom. I just uninstalled the update and then it worked. This happened on the YouTube app too. It reverted to the phone version and it had me scratching my head.
I downloaded WeatherBug Elite when it was free and it will work for 1 or 2 times and then give me the error:
"unknown error. Please download the app again"

Have you done what it says? I had that popup after uninstalling weatherbug free. I reinstalled and have no issues.

Unfortunately I have done it multiple times and continue to have the issue.
Read the reviews. Everyone said it sucks. Granted most of those people dont know how to operate a phone. I installed ran fine, just drained my battery in like 2 hours, with the status bar temp thing, so its gone now.

That's why I don't allow programs to run in the background and give me "updates". If I want to see the weather I'll pull up the program.
I pulled a noob and just created my own thread about the same problem... oops!
I've been having the same problem, it also happens with Shazaam. I have to delete and reinstall both every time I reboot the phone.
Talk about pulling a noob, I responded to your post not realizing you asked for it to be deleted! Here was my response to your post:
I also have this issue with both WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore. I actually uninstalled Shazam (at the time I noticed it) because I installed SoundHound Infinity.
However, I just manually rebooted my phone and, yes, my WeatherBug Elite came back with the error (after re-installing and setting it up).
I tested my other Amazon apps (Airport Mania: First Flight, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Seasons, Diner Dash 2, Doodle Jump, Flight Control, Fruit Ninja, SoundHound Infinity, and Talking Tom Cat) and it's only the WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore.
Something is going on with the rebooting for just those two apps. I can't believe it's an Amazon specific thing.
I'm running a Droid X with Liberty 1.5 ROM.
Hmm rebooted and got the same issue... interesting. Ill try deleting app data and using TiBackup the next time after that.
In Amazon app store you can send issues to the developers.. i sent them this issue. Hopefully more users do the same and we get an update.

What was weird is that it alerted in the taskbar just fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Doing a little research with a few people here (with Droid X's) is that it only happens on my phone.
The difference between mine and the others is that I'm running a custom ROM (Liberty 1.5).
It works fine for my Droid X friends that 1) is stock and 2) rooted, but stock ROM.
So, for me, it looks like there is something with the app and the fact that I'm running a custom ROM.
I too experienced fc on weather bug and shazam on Phoenix Ultimate and current rom Unleashed. May be it's an issue with the app itself. Other than those 2 apps, all works without any issues.

I think it's an app problem... All my other free paid apps work fine.
I just deleted it and got the weather channel....

I was having an issue where Weatherbug Elite would say I had to enable one of the location services (GPS or Network location) even though I leave network locating on. I tried clearing the app cache by going to menu>settings>applications>manage applications, hit the ALL tab at the top, go down to Weatherbug Elite and hit Clear Data. This cleared up my problem. Maybe it'll help yours.
I have the same problem. Everything else works fine but this thing is the Devil. I cannot get it to work on my EVO. I have tried everything. I mean everything and now I'm more confused then an Amish Electrician.
ive read of people not being able to update or download google maps. my problem with it is almost every time i download an app from the market google maps downloads instead. or it tires to update. and the app i intended to download does nothing as if i never clicked on it to download in the first place and clicked google maps instead. its like maps just takes over and decides that its going to do what it wants. wtf is the deal?
are you on stock JF6 or what?
oh sorry. i guess some info wouldve helped. im running serendipity 6.4

hmmm.. i used to run that ROM and i had that problem on the first boot. after that however it went away after i just went to into the market and cancelled the download. As far as the apps not downloading after you press them, i feel like thats a market app issue.. have you tried reflashing to an earlier version of serendipity?
Im on 6.4 and have had no issues with the market or google maps. I have always flashed a freash nand if things start getting funky.

Ive been using serendipity since out was released. I noticed this happening a few versions back. Maybe since around 6.0. this my second flash of 6.4 cuz I had a brief stint with another rom and had the same issue there.

The map problem is related to GB ROMs.
The last update on the market for google map will make it take control and restart on its own.
Even if you close it in your running services, it will actually prompt restart before closing = never closes and drains your battery.

Buh-bye maps, you will not be missed.
Hello free ram and much better battery life.
Autostars app should take care of the problem of Maps restarting at will.
Google Maps
FYI: Turning off "Use Wireless Networks" in the Location and Security setting appears to keep MAPS from loading in the background, thereby saving some battery. Keeps you from completely deleting the app.
My two cents.
Noticed with the newest update of foursquare my GPS is broken. At first I thought it was a rom problem but later realized it was the app. So here is a website with all the previous versions. 12/21/11 works best for GPS lock. Just make sure to clear data and uninstall your current foursquare app, install and login then reboot. Your GPS won't lock right away sometimes unless u reboot after install.

Not to be an ass, but the latest update FIXED this bug.
I also had the GPs bug, after an app update, but like two days ago they re-updated the app, fixing this
Before downgrading, check your market, it could be already fixed!
Thanks anyway, Greenlava7!
I was getting no GPS even with the new update . This fixed it.

Hi,
I tried posting this on the official build thread although I haven't enough posts to do so, anyway I was just wondering if anyone else has had any trouble with the latest CM10.1 builds?
I'm having issues with not receiving push notifications for things such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & email accounts etc. Also there is issues when using SwiftKey (suggestions dissappear after reboot) battery saver application keeps crashing although the notification problems is the main query.
Also wondered if the wifi/mobile signal indicators are no longer blue? Mine have been grey since I updated to CM10.1.
Cheers
Chris
I am running latest nightly and have done so since about 15th Nov last year. No problems getting push notifications here. Maybe just double check that push settings are on?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've checked push settings in all the apps I mentioned and all notifications are on, still no joy. Also tried clearing app data and resigning in to each and that's not worked either.
Cheers,
Chris
I'm also having trouble with fb but I havnt investigated since I don't use it very much.
The wifi being gray is normal. Thats the way its ment to be. The SwiftKey problem I solved it by instslling SwiftKey flow beta. I don't know why these one works.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
The reason the wifi indicator icon is grey is because youre not connected to googles server. Try logging in with google talk.
Oh and stop using battery saver.
Youre not getting push notifications because batsav is killing your background apps (bookface, and such...)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
All sorted out now cheers.
How did you solve this?
the wifi signal and the network signal are supposed to be blue, when they are grey there is no network, meaning problem with DNS or something.
thats in my case in every CM, AOKP, AOSP ROM i have tried.
