today i have had the same issue with it wanting to restart my rezound with clean rom stnd, so easy fix was to just disable it being able to update for now, and uninstalling the update. same as you would uninstall an app. it just reverts back, still works fine, and no issues with restarts now.

I just checked and yes you’re right, that appears in the new and old versions. However, not to beat a dead horse here but I think the issue remains. Maybe its a grey area. Not updating my location is not the same as signing out and stopping the service completely. I can choose to not update my location, while Lattitude continues to run, simply not updating. If choosing not to update my location effectively stops the app from running at all (in essence signing out) I wish Google would just make it clear.

Location Settings->Location reporting->Do not update your location

It’s the same option I remember from older versions.

It has to be a kernel issue or radio issue. I’m running CM9 and it does it to me too, and kernel bits and radios are the only commonalities between the stock rom and AOSP.

”
Now, whenever you search for a city or postal code, the borders of that region are highlighted”
It doesn’t do it for my location, Redwood Valley, CA 95470, it just shows a red pin. We are not an incorporated area (there are only four incorporated towns in Mendocino County, Ukiah, Willits, Fort Bragg, Point Arena), but are known as a CDP (Census Designated Place). I thought it would at least show the Zip Code boundaries for 95470, but I guess they still have some bugs to work out.

http://maps.huge.info/zip.htm That site does show the Zip Code boundaries.

I’m always afraid to update Maps. I use it everyday for navigation in the car and can’t have it break on me.

Right, I saw that but… but that only enables/disables sharing with my contacts. That still doesn’t stop Latitude from constantly running in the background and keeping a log of my whereabouts, right?

What the hell is it with the Rezound…. First ICS causes Skype to transmit with a green tint and now Google maps causes a reboot…. Haven’t seen this issues on any other phone of yet…. What is it about the OS on this phone that is so different from all the old and new phones?

Weird, it’s the exact opposite for me. It seems much MUCH snappier. On JB here.

That’s the first thing I said too once my update installed.
