Unfortunately, maps has stopped

[TW]Fox · 11 Feb 2014 at 17:24

I updated Google Maps on my HTC One earlier this week.

Ever since then, I get 'Unfortunately, Maps has stopped' error messages at random when I'm doing non-maps stuff. ie reading a text, browsing the web, etc.

Maps itself seems to work - presumably it also works in the background and continually crashes whilst it does this.

How can I roll back to the previous version or fix this? Anyone else had this?

Tried clearing all data for the app, uninstalling the updates, then updating again?

In app manager force stop, clear data and cache. If that doesn't work go back and uninstall updates.

Cheers, tried the clear data/cache thing to no avail. Removed all updates and back to the stock client now. Interesting to see because they used to show you location history from within the app, now you must use a website. Progress eh

Bizarrely it's still doing it with the updates removed and the original version of maps installed with data/cache cleared :confused:

Edit: Thats because it's updated itself back to the latest version in the background without prompting me :rolleyes:

This problem continues to drive me up the wall. I don't know what to do about it

roll it back again and disable auto updates?

Last ditch restore phone to factory settings?

I've never had this on mine.

Have you got any other apps which might be interfering with GMaps causing it to fail? Since yours is the only phone doing it - i would suggest it is something exclusive to your phone which is causing it to fail.

Maybe Google it to see if anyone else has had this issue and if there was a conflicting app?

For info, gmaps has an update for "bug fixes"

Have you tried doing a battery pull? Just turn it off take battery out for a min then try.

If not then it would be a factory reset job I reckon.

You can't battery pull a HTC One it's all built in.

Reporting things on the Play Store can work surprisingly well

, include model of phone and problem(s)

Sorted foxy? My Google maps updated this morning. v7.6.1

Em3bbs · 15 Feb 2014 at 14:54

Can you grab a logcat when it's crashing and send to me?

I got the same thing yesterday, GS2. It runs, but then get the same message.
