Well this is interesting: went into More Settings under Location Services, then selected Google Play Services, (you could get to the same place through Settings-> Apps), then selected "Uninstall updates"... boom, FCs have stopped.

Thanks, I've downloaded it, but I'll leave it be for now, as it's working after reverting GPS updates. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
[MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION], are you using the universal DPI version of Google Play Services?

Although guys at TK GApps thread say and repeat all this Google Play Services universal DPI version thing is absolutely unnecessary, I still can't accept this as a accurate true thing. For example, why would exist an universal DPI version if it would serve for nothing?!

By the way, I remember in the past (before it's latest package), when I was able to use the universal DPI Play Services version by upgrading to a newest APK, I didn't get any Play Services force closes, but now even before 12.6 and past builds I get some sporadically.

And, just informing, I also got lots and lots of this after flashing 12.7, so I moved back to 12.6 before going sleep. Now after waking up I noticed there is the 12.8 build already and that Temasek told through Twitter he will revert things related to DPI on next one.

So, finally, there must be a true relevant info concerning all this issues and that Google Play Services universal DPI version. Some people say it's irrelevant, some people say it's crucial. So, what's the truth here?

Unfortunately I won't have time to full wipe this weekend (lots of stuff to study), but I really would like to wipe everything and flash 12.7 + any Google Apps package that doesn't have latest Google Play Services, since I would be able to install a newest APK, but choosing the universal DPI version, of course.

Finally, and sorry for the long text, but although Temasek uses 400 DPI and didn't get issues, it would be great if those who got Play Services force closes tell us which DPI setting is using. Maybe those on default one (480) are not affected in general.

In my case here, it's 430.

Nope.. Just use any file Explorer and copy the file extracted from the zip I uploaded to your System/lib directory... That's all... It worked well for me... And quite a few others here too...

That file replacement for system/lib works with 12.8 as well
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
No need to set permissions?! Just copy and that's all?

Also, which DPI are you using, [MENTION=5214154]nani666[/MENTION]?

You were facing Play Services force closes even on 12.8? Or you copied file even before getting any?

By the way, which DPI you are using?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] minhgi:
Been have the issue since 2.6 and dpi is 360

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BazBaz:
DPI 480 (i never changed this)

Dirty 12.8 over 12.5. Cleaned cash and rebooted, fc's gone. This didn't work on 12.7.

Some people did other things. Seems like different sollutions work. I can understand the stress that that's giving Temasek to pinpoint the problem.

By the way, when Temasek mentioned this file? And is this designed just to fix these DPI and Play Services force closes issue?

Not that I'm doubting about it's usability, but only because I follow this thread since ever (including KitKat days old thread) and I truly don't remember this workaround!

[MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION] - this may be a silly question: you've included this commit in the 12.7 and 12.8 builds, right?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2953375

Clearing the cache of GPS and then waiting a while for it to rebuild before using location services on 12.7 works for a number of hours, but eventually the FCs come back.

I've done a clean install of 12.8 this morning. I had some initial GPS FCs but things are ok after clearing GPS cache.

I'll see if the problem recurs after some hours. If so, I'll try using the CM Gapps and see if that makes any difference.

By the way, I must say that, apart from the FCs, I really like the battery friendliness of 12.7.

Definitely - the site is called XDA DEVELOPERS forum so we should not be treating it like an educational institution for beginners.

Plus it is made quite clear, if you're going to report issues, include a logcat - and if you don't know how to do one, do what I did and go learn. It's not even hard to do because there are apps to get them for you.

And if you can't be bothered giving the info that's required to resolve your issue, FFS at least type in the things you've tried in your efforts to fix your problems.

And if you can't be bothered doing that, go back and read 78Cortina's post. :D

You can find various versions for different DPI's

at APKMirror.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

I run on 320 and currently 280 DPI - no problems... :D

Try getting the right version of GP Services for your setting (see above for link) and maybe choose one of what appears to be the standard settings. Think of it like a Windows screen - you CAN set it to 1920 x 570 if you want but you're going to get weird results - setting it to 1920 x 1080 gives you the correct sizing and shape for things.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

@Temasek - something strange - my OTA will not DL. Finds the update, apparently works for the Download button but just sits with no progress. If I long press Back to kill the app I get told it is killed but I have to do it several times - just how many seems to depend on how long it has been sitting.

I DL'd 12.8 from your DL site in about 2 minutes so it's not my WIFI... ???

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_ape:
Not being funny, but why does everyone flash odd versions of the GApps, just flash the supported ones from CM? Can't see why you would flash owt else.

But that's just me I suppose.

Using the CM sourced ones and not had any FC's since the GPS issues of 12.3/4

Edit : also had the ota update issue, click download, you see the flash of the download arrow and it does, then ota FC's, if you need another local shout.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
'Owt'? Are you from Lancashire? :D

I guess we tried a variety of solutions when these began and some of them stuck (the solutions) so we keep using them. And it was the normal version causing the issues in the first place. (IF GP Services WAS the cause - given the apparently random results of fixes, that seems less than likely :D)

Your OTA issue seems different to mine - mine doesn't FC - so yes, could be a good idea to post the logcat. (:D Your 'local' is a bit far from me even if you are going to shout :D)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] EarlZ:
Yes, freezing it or using another messaging and keyboard app solves the issue but still id prefer it to be fixed by the ROM dev though I've gotten nothing since posting the logs.

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

Does this include the Messaging & Keyboard FC ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Soundy106:
Well that was interesting - just tried that and the phone rebooted instantly.

Oh yeah, should mention: re-updated GPS from the Play Store because it was complaining Photos wouldn't work... and FCs came back right away.

Now I'm just sitting at boot animation....
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Is Messaging actually FC'ing? I get the AOSP keybd one every so often but Messenger stays open and I just click in the type box again and the keybd comes up.

I had an issue a while back where first Messaging (green icon) would just not send msgs - had 'Sending' under the msg but never did. So I swapped to Messenger (blue&White icon) and that would work for a time then IT would fail and I'd have to go back to Messaging. Have been on the Messenger (Google one) for some time now and (touch wood) seems OK. :D

But I never got FC's, only for the keybd. I'm about to try the suggestion from earlier for swype keybd (think that's it) to see if I like it. I like having the symbols on the letter keys - I'd like it more if I could get that AND a separate row for numbers... :D

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Yes, the pop up box says either messaging or keyboard depending. Ive attached the logs but its been ignored.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Even if we are not having issues with GP Services? Or is it something I just noticed with the Location - the button in Notifications doesn't change to 'High Accuracy' and I have to turn on GPS in Settings/Location?

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Ah... mine only ever says AOSP Keybd, even if I am in Messenger at the time.

So... what DPI are you using and what is the full version of your GP Services? I ask because on 12.8 I so far have not had a keybd FC even though I have rebooted several times and sent a few messages. I can't see WHY GP services would have anything to do with the keybd, but you never know.

Another possibility is, and I will see if I can find the link or post the file here, there's a SlimGApps DPI fix - apparently it's meant to fix issues apps have with non-standard DPI. It was the start of my not having issues and the reason I found the different GP Services for different DPI's.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] EarlZ:
Im using the TK-GApps PICO 90Mb+

Mine says either AOSP keyboard or Messaging. I just updated to the 12.8 with the fix.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
I always get the full 'Stock' version - that way if I change my mind about something I can simply alter the .gapps-config file and reflash GApps and all is good again. And after editing manually I now have AROMA-UPGC-R2.zip on extSD to build the file for me.

The Multi-dpi thing from Slim GApps is

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] EarlZ:
I think it shouldnt matter if I get the full or the pico because it still happens with no Gapps installed, I always install my Gapps after the first boot (wipe dalvik again)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] temasek:
What actually happened?

Well long story short....

1. I wanted to go back to GCC 4.8 toolchain due to newer toolchain breaks apps & games compatibility (quite a fair bit).

2. Reverted the libcore commit that fixes the Google play services FC issue which initially was thought to be required only for 4.9 toolchain & above.

3. Boom.... Google play services FC revived.

4. Scratched my head for quite a fair bit of time to figure out why so as I couldn't replicate the FCs on google play services myself.

5. So I got [MENTION=3515982]apascual89[/MENTION] to reinstate the libcore commit and test. He tested & replied to me it fixes the issue.

6. Apparently the Google play services 7.5x series doesn't like 4.9 toolchain & above... + any optimisations flags with - O3

7. Even though I changed to 4.8 toolchain but the build optimisations flags remained and thus requires the libcore commit that fixes the Google play services FC issues.

8. Reinstate libcore commit and boom.... Fixed

Now we have 100% apps and games compatibility back and no more Google play services FC issues.

End of nightmare.

Then after all my problems on 12.7, I restored my nandroid of 12.6, downloaded 12.8 and the patch, flashed those... and WHAM, I think it's faster now than it's ever been! I can scroll through the app drawer full speed and there's not a moment's hesitation anywhere.
