Question Google Maps crashing - ASUS ZenFone 8

I just got a US version of the Zenfone 8. It looks like it's running the same software as global versions as one of the updates indicated VoLTE support being added for some EU carriers. Currently on WW_30.11.51.67.
All apps are working fine, except Google Maps which crashes as soon as you try to open it. Is anyone experiencing this issue?

Nope, no crashes whatsoever

No crashing either. You could try to use OrganicMaps as a replacement that does not track you and is open source.

[Q] Google Maps and Navigation

Hello,
I am using a Nexus One with Cyanogen 6 RC3 on it. I have also flashed the google apps addon pack in order to have those apps.
My problem is the following; Two days ago I was able to use google maps navigation without problem. However now, anytime I use two addresses in Canada (where I live) for "Get Directions", the "Navigate" link never pops up. However the Navigate link is available when I use two US addresses. This is especially weird because if I access the Navigation app directly from my app drawer, I am able to use navigation between canadian addresses.
Just 2 days ago I was able to use navigation from within google maps and suddenly I am no longer able to. People have said to re-install google maps but I cannot seem to uninstall the maps application. Should I reflash the google apps pack?
Further, I apparently had auto updating enabled for maps but am unaware of any update that was applied.
Any help to be able to use the Navigation from within google maps within Canada would be greatly appreciated. I hope it is clear what my problem is, if you need more clarification please ask
Im not sure what the rule is about first replying to your own thread however I do have an update.
I re-flashed the latest google apps pack found here xttp://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/
The pack was the same one that I originally flashed however it seems after flashing now I have navigation functionality from within Google maps again. I am happy to have my problem resolved currently but I am curious as to why my Navigation functionality disappeared in the first place.
Hopefully someone knows or can explain what happened so I can prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thank again for all your time
you can try flashing RC2 back, couse many people are facing this issue!
I'm still experiencing this issue. I switched to Enom's rom to see if it fixed it but nope. My Google maps navigate link is sometimes available and then just doesn't show up other times. I am able to use the navigate app. I tried uninstalling maps with titanium backup and redoenloading it from the market, but I still have the problem with navigate.

In Device-Only GPS mode Google maps persists suggesting High accuracy mode

{This is almost certainly not specifically an Atrix HD/MB886 problem but I was not quite sure where else this might go. }
Since Google Maps was updated to anything after 9.0.0:
When using Device only GPS mode; Google Maps persistently suggests using high accuracy mode even
though GPS device only mode is working fine and has lock.
View attachment 3050442
The map pivots and centers to the correct location behind the prompt but the prompt must be obliged each time you refresh the GPS location. Does not stop after the first time you hit ignore as was the case in previous version. Only stops away if High accuracy mode is used.
Motorola Atrix HD/MB889, presently running CM11 MSM8960 jbbl 12/5/14 nightly with PA Gapps Nano 11/21/14 but also replicated in:
Stock JB AT&T, Dalvik,
CM11 recent nightlies with ART or Dalvik
PA Gapps Nano and Pico 11/21/14
Fresh minimally configured installations
Built out with my apps and settings
Does not occur in Google My Tracks or Google Earth
Workaround is to restore TBU of Google Maps 9.0.0
The only thing I can think of at this point is that this is related to the Google account with which the phone is associated although, in the short time since Google Maps 9.1.0 came out there have been 2 same version updates within 9.1.0 as well as an update to 9.1.1 and another to 9.1.2 so I'm thinking it's a Google problem. I've not captured logs (will do so at next fresh flash) nor have I configured the phone with a different primary gmail account but I'm hesitant to do that.
Fishing to see if anyone else is experiencing this. Do tell
Thank you.

The 9.x series seems to be causing issues all over the place. I've had to see users drop down to 8.4 on some devices to get it to work properly. It all comes down to the libs within it and whatever other changes they made outside of material look/feel.

Well then misery loves company, as it were, and thanks for that info. Even in the more rapid stream of updates to all things Google in accommodation of Lollipop, this Maps thing stands out, and it seems like they are chasing something. Funny thing is it might not even be a fix to this issue I've mentioned here.
Finally fixed with update to Maps v9.2.0.

Google Play Services

Morning all!
I appreciate your help on previous posts of mine and I'm looking to seek your help once more.
I use several apps that use the Google API for maps, unfortunately (aside from actual Google apps) this doesn't work. It simply says 'Google Play services are updating'. Except when I go to the settings, they are not.
Is anyone else having this issue/has been able to find a workaround?

I had the same problem, so I did this - went to Settings / Apps, turned on "Show system processes", then under Google Play Services / Storage /Manage Space cleared all data. Now everything works

Yeah, unfortunately this seems to be the case for me too. I haven't been able to find a more permanent workaround.
Fortunately i figured out!
This is happening due to beta version of google play services. I unistalled the latest updates and it came to a version 11.9.75. Then, it didn't upate anymore, unless i download an app called Play Services Info.
If you stay at version 11.9.75 then there is no problem at in-app maps (reboot it or not).

Thanks. This also fixed an issue for me I was just about to ask about, where all links from my Google feed refused to open in anything but Chrome and the option to "open web pages in the Google app" was greyed out (and Opera as my default browser was also ignored).
I was also unable to sign into Chrome, it said my account was already in use. Seems to be working now.
I wonder what's going on here? Never seen anything like it on my previous Samsung phones.
Just had the update to 110 UK, but the issue has just occurred again.
It's getting ridiculous!
Same issue here, and I can't log into Chrome .. Says "Syncing to .." and never updates. Some apps are forcing me to update Google Play Services, so this is a mess .. If you update play services then Uber and Maps, along with some other apps won't work!

only workaround is to clear all google play services data
I am also struggling under this.
My Fitness apps doesnt shop a map until i delete the play service data. Works until the next reboot. Hope someone is fixing this soon.
The temporary fix results in all credit/debit cards vanishing from the Google Pay app.
So basically I just uninstalled the current updated version of google play services and forced google play to no auto-update. This seems to have fixed the issue temporarily. If you stay at version 11.9.75 then there is no problem.
Hi all,
Android app developer here. This is an issue with the latest Google Play Services (12.6.73 released on 10th May) and has been affecting Huawei devices and maybe some other vendors.
You can check the progress on it on Google issue tracker here.
Also from what I've read the "clear app data" fix is just temporary, issue returns after device restart or after some time. Google seems to be already working on the issue so I think it would be best to wait it out unfortunately
I have a couple of issues it seems besides the map issue:
2 factor prompt doesn't work anymore, and the google assistant options are broken.
Couldn't log into chrome with my google account either but that seems to be fixed after a factory reset.
Edit: most of the issues seem to be fixed now. Still no working 2 factor prompt. Other than that everything is fine again

This has been resolved for me after updating from 103 to 110. No problems, even after a reboot.

Yes I was having the problem too until I disabled Play Services and left the beta program in the play store, then updated again. Leaving the beta definitely solved the issue.
Hi,
So I have 12.6.73 and still this problem.
Can someone help?

Could HMD be deprecating the Nokia Camera on Oreo devices?

I upgraded from O to P, then rolled back to O after a few days of trying out P (have my own reasons, one of which is that of Magisk and the number of issues that I and others experienced/are experiencing on P).
Before the upgrade, I received a Play Store update for the Nokia Camera that was at v90.9.xx at the time. It was working well with O despite issues here and there. Then I made the jump to P, which came with the v91.9.xx Nokia Camera.
Now that I rolled back to O with Sept 2018 patch level, I was surprised to find out that the Nokia Camera from the Play Store disappeared. I could no longer update the app that came with a v8.xxx. It is now marked as incompatible with my device. As a workaround, I sideloaded the latest v91.9.1130.40 available apk from apkmirror. It installed and ran normally but then would immediately FC after a few minutes. No amount of clearing appdata/cache would make it run on O without FCing. So I settled with the last version that ran without issues, v90.9.1125.10.
My question is, would anyone have any idea if HMD is removing support on O for future versions of the Nokia Camera starting with v91.xx?
In the app description it still says there for requirements a Nokia smartphone running at least Android O 8.0 and the apk, even though its target SDK is api28 (Pie), its minimum SDK is api26 (Oreo).
EDIT: Even though I'm using a gcam port for my shots, I would still like to have an updated stock cam on Oreo for its other features like bothies, PRO mode, and 16MP selfies ?. I plan on staying a little while longer on O. ?
I have updated to Pie among other reasons, for new camera software since I get use to on Nokia 6.1

That's a valid point, but not quite helpful in my inquiry. The Nokia Camera SHOULD be made available to at least Oreo and later. There hasn't been a complete rollout of Pie in Nokia's entire device lineup, but the Play Stores marks the current version v91.9.1133.80 incompatible with Oreo, locking out devices that still have no Pie update available and denying updates and bug fixes to the stock camera.

I am in the same shoes like you. I also want to stay on Oreo for some more time until they fix graphic glitches and some small bugs on Pie.
Last time I rolled back from Pie beta to Oreo, Nokia camera was also not showing on the Play store, and after a week or so, the update came...
We shall see about this time.
Btw. camera version you marked as one to be working, is also crashing for me, especially when I try to use the silly faces and masks from the top shortcuts...

I'm surprised that it appears on a Nokia 6.1 2018 running Oreo. Does the v91.9.1133.80 work flawlessly with it without crashing? Are the AR stickers working as well? (Though I have my doubts about that, I don't know if AR is supported in that device, lemme know ?)

Hey thanks for dropping by. Regarding that crash with stickers on v90.9.1125.40 yes I experienced that as well and wrote it off as a bug ?, needing a fix. But that's not possible atm because Nokia Camera in the play store on on this phone is marked incompatible, at least on Oreo.
I too am thinking the same way as you, when issues with Pie iron out. The UI glitches I find inconvenient and distracts from the experience. More than that, Magisk is incompatible with Pie on this device, causing certain system functions to go missing, further making the experience unbearable ?. But I do like the improvements Pie brings to the table.

Thanks for the sitrep on that end. But here it's a different story. ?
Hmm this is weird. I never had the application available on the store for my Nokia 7 plus (O and P)
@braveheartleo : I have the same issue. TA-1046 September patch 8.1.0. The update was showing 1-2 weeks back. I had updated earlier (successfully) but downgraded because of the missing HDR option (autoHDR was not working effectively for me). So I disabled and re-enabled it, going back to factory version. The update was visible but for the last couple of weeks it's not appearing in play store at all.
I had tried to re-update a while back, but it would always get stuck after downloading about 84mb, exactly after downloading the app itself and before downloading "extra data" part that goes upto 150mb. I think its an obb file.
So a couple of days back I found an obb file, around 150mb inside Internal Storage/Android/obb/com.hmdglobal.camera2/.
I wasn't able to delete it, so I forcefully removed it root and went to retry the app update where I found it had disappeared. I obtained the play store url in google, opened it as a webpage, clicked the button to "show in play store".
The app appeared but showed as being incompatible with this device.
I have tried to sideload it (a while back when I could't update), it installs fine but FCs at certain modes (unfortunately I don't remember correctly). Seems I have to use factory one for now.

We have the same experience regarding the stock cam. Although I haven't been using stock for taking photos, I too noticed the FCs you have seen. Regarding manual HDR toggle missing from v90.x onwards, I found an earlier version on apkmirror that has HDR toggle in the UI, v85.9.1124.31. Perhaps you can try that out as a stop-gap to the issues we are getting starting with v90.x
One other here commented that the latest Play Store version is compatible with Nokia 6.1 on Oreo, but I wonder how compatible it is in practical terms (no FCs, etc.).

Apparantly a new camera version has been uploaded to Google play (here) with some new features. Unfortunately, it's still showing as incompatible. Not just for us, but folks on Nokia 8 and Nokia 6.1 also confirmed the same in a telegram group.

Speaking of, have you noticed how the Nokia Mobile Support app quickly jumped from one version to another (it's now at 2.0.9 as of this writing, starting from 2.0.3)? Sure, quick fix releases are commendable, but then you start to wonder how QC for software development is on their end.

At this point, it should be safe to say that they've "gone" now :laugh:, with all the bugs people are experiencing on Pie (3.22C), their unstoppable streak on releasing new phones (and now the change to confusing global naming scheme as well), and missed targets on timely releases of monthly updates, resulting in a release that is rushed (and buggy compared to the betas). :laugh:
