So... After trying for weeks to PAIR my BLE heart rate monitor, I figured it out today: BLE devices SHOULD NOT BE PAIRED! Read e.g. https://support.runkeeper.com/hc/en-us/articles/203496577-How-To-Pair-Your-Heart-Rate-Monitor- 2B. If you are using a BTLE HRM, do not pair the HRM to your phone...

Dummy answer, so I can track answers to my own question. Sorry, I wasn't logged in when I posted.

I did not write down from which version to which version the firmware upgrade was done. But I know that now the Settings -> About device -> Baseband version is G900FXXU1BOE5, kernel version 3.4.0-4920185, build number LRX21T.G900FXXU1BOE5. I hope that one of these numbers answers your question :)

I fixed my problem today. This is how I did it: I downloaded Samsung Kies on my computer. Connecting the phone, it suggested a firmware update. It also warned that my phone might be bricked by the firmware update, as the phone was rooted. I proceeded anyway. A tiresome download later, my phone...

I have tried to downgrade to the "factory reset" version, and then updated until problems with my apps occur. Maybe this will help someone else: Moves, runkeeper, pendelkollen, taxi 020, and basically all the Google Play services-dependent apps I tested (in their most recent versions as of...

I manually removed any updates to Google Play services (to version 6.something) and manually installed com.google.android.gms-7.0.97-(1791429-430)-7097430-Android-5.0 (a rather old version). Applications are no longer crashing, but several complain that I need to update GP services for them to...

I just downloaded the Android software development kit, latest versions of everything. I downloaded Google Play services support, and built a minimal app that uses Google maps display (such an app is available as a template in Android Studio). The app builds fine and gets installed on my Galaxy...

Hi Linda, thanks for putting this in context and informing about what your status is. Could you point to the exact thread on Yelp, so I (and other readers) can post updates and follow that thread directly? I did a factory reset yesterday and can confirm that my apps still crash. :(

Hej Magnus, thanks for the suggestion. Clearing the cache didn't visibly make a difference - the same apps still keep crashing in the same way. I am still trying to get away without a full factory reset... Isn't there some way I can understand what component is malfunctioning? Remove that...

Hi, I am running Android 5.0 on a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), rooted. I noticed a while ago that several apps started crashing. I noticed they all have in common that they use the map component from Google play services. Here's the list of apps I noticed "unfortunately stop": - Runkeeper - Runtastic...

Hi, my wife received a Moto X 2nd generation as a present from China. It looks like a very nice phone, so we want to start using it. The problem: The phone is set up for a Chinese provider, and does not have access to e.g. the Android Market, or any Google apps. Settings->About: System updates...
