Seems Google couldn't fix it either. Sending a replacement

Damn, there are a lot of things I read on this forum that causing me to think of canceling my phone.

Just submitted an RMA for my device. The proximity sensor over the last 3 days hasn't been working properly and wont activate the screen when I try to hang up a call after pulling the phone away from my head.

What root method did you use gvsukids? I'm getting my phone today and will be rooting it. Just concerned now..

Seems that chrome wasn't installed and that was causing the issue. After installing boot.img from magisk, I was able to sign-in to play store and now don't need the RMA.
It's an issue with the modified boot.img from rooting phone which removed chrome

You are hero!!!!! Thanks for this

Had this same problem when I flashed Android 8(Oreo) on my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (SM-G935V) that came with android 6.0.1(Marshmallow). I solved this by simply clearing the cache of google play services and updating my google apps...and it was working fine.

I resolved the same issue on a different device by installing Android Web View. If issues persist, try (re-)installing it. Mine was a custom ROM which apparently had issues with Web View.

Google search not working after update, help

As the title states my Google search is no longer working after the new update. The only way I can get it to work it to clear cache, data, and uninstall updates which will then revert the app to factory form. After doing all that the app works no issues but then the app updates itself and then i keep getting same error message every time I try to load it.. Anyone else have this issue? Running P6800 with JB 4.1.2. Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. I read there are issues on some nexus devices. I think just wait for Google to release a fix.

Same here. Reverted to the previous version and waiting for the update with correction (hopefully),
I just did a phone reset hoping it would solve the issuebut nothing. Google just released a new update and still same problem.

Indeed, the release of 11/21 is no good either.
I have been looking all over the net and can't seem to find any info on this, Google hasn't even acknowledged there is something wrong. Maybe this is only affecting a very small number number of people.

Both Google Now / Search and Newsstand have been crashing on launch with the stock ROM. But on my other JB devices no such problem. I tried rooting this tablet. No change. Then I flashed the unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1. That solved the problem.
My assumption: the Samsung stock ROM is the source of the problem.
What did I learn?
- My tablet is running smoother without all the Samsung crap. I should have done it even sooner!
- I will probably gravitate in the future to Nexus devices where the OS is not compromised by vendor-motivated overhead. And it's easier to get updates and custom ROMs.
- Because Samsung has not been fully cooperative with the developer community, ROMs often lack certain device drivers. (Another advantage for Nexus.)
If this motivates you to root and flash just be aware of two known deficiencies with the ROM I am using:
-no tethering
-once you turn off wifi you'll have to reboot to turn it on again.
(Thanks, Samsung for withholding wifi device drivers from the public.)
We shouldn't have to install custom roms in order for an app to work. I have tried to report the issue to Google but I have yet to receive feedback. I have flashed many roms and many of my Android devices but I longer wish to do so since no one rom is fully functional as it should, there will always be issues. I too may consider a Nexus device, but at the same time I have always liked Samsung and their products but this one issue with this app is a little annoying.

What I don't understand is that my wife's Note I I was able to update with no issues, her phone is running JB 4.1.2. I'm no tech or anything but I believe it may have something to with our tab itself.

After flashing the JB 4.1.2 Indonesian firmware, my Google search has stopped working. No matter what I do it always crashes.
I don't have option to uninstall updates from app manager. Does any of u guys have an older version of Google search? Would be really glad if u can post it for me.

Hi Manipur,
Try to download this:
http://sdrv.ms/18hoDxb
Let me know if any problems.
Whether Samsung or Google, the android environment can come across as chaotic. So much going on with all various versions.
Samsung keep selling us pretty much the same devices with new software, I'm not particularly impressed their pace of improvements.
Google products seems to work well on Apple ios, android is still missing functions available Apple for a good while now, funny how that works.

Oops. Too bad, that is the oldest one I have, and it works fine in my case.
I know I'm not the only one with this issue, anybody have an any ideas as to why Google search no longer works, even after new updates. On My wife's Note II she gets all the updates with no issue, she is also running 4.1.2. This is really pissing me off.

[Q] Viper4Android doesn't stay on

I've installed Viper4Android on my N5 (Carbon ROM, ElementalX kernel), and when it works, it works great. However, it doesn't always kick in automatically. Sometimes I have to open the app in order to get it to run.
I've uninstalled the driver/app and reinstalled V4A multiple times. Same issue.
Any ideas on what's going on?
Could be the 4.4.2 0bytes running services issue.

I'm on Carbon. Interesting...can you shed some light on this issue? I'm assuming there's no workaround.
Also had this issue on slimkat.
Converting to a system app in titanium backup solved it for me.

Lollipop update issues

I updated to lollipop recently and some of the google apps stopped working - they couldn't connect to Google.
So after a while I don't know where I read this, I tried clearing the data on my play services app and the framework. After that I removed my account and added it again. Only this time, ALL of my google apps stopped connecting (play store, hangouts, google now, contacts etc.)
I'm signed into my account but nothing seems to be working. The rest of my apps are completely normal.
If anyone can help me about this I'd highly appreciate it. Thank you
Edit: I used the OTA update. I tried using a different version of the play services app but that also didn't help.

May try reflashing factory image and start from beginning.
Else try flashing system.IMG to see if it fixes the problem.
Make necessary backup before u try any options

Yes, don`t erase and flash userdata.img. Flashing system.img will not wipe the device.
Okay this is weird... Everything started syncing again when I started using the WiFi. But as soon as I get back to mobile data, I get the sync error again

Did you pay your data plan this month? While just connected to mobile data, can you open google dot com on a browser?
a maguro wrote this.
Yes its paid for. Its a prepaid connection. Plus all sites and apps other than the google ones are connecting using mobile data
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Easiest way would probably be to factory reset.
I can't be sure , but I do remember seeing a "only sync on wifi " setting somewhere . If any of the more knowledgeable guys could tell you where it is you might fix it without a reflash. Also , if your settings are backed up with google you might not solve anything ...
I've no camera and galleries. Done factory reset and used full google factory firmware
I never used to have this problem on KitKat don't know how that setting emerged in lollipop. I'm still hoping I can find a solution without a reflash.

Inversion without root?

Just left my years of Nexus phones for this edge and I told myself I wouldn't root since everything runs great and most of the tweaking I would usually do is cosmetic and now native. However, the one thing I miss is inversion of gapps. Is it possible to achieve this without root? I've downloaded various packages from TBO, extracted and attempted to install signed apks with no luck. Any advice would be appreciated.

It appears to be a 'minor' patch that includes security fixes and no real software changes.
There should be no reason to do a factory reset.

I'm not so sure about that.
I've been having sensor issues immediately after this latest update. Both my orientation and light sensor stop working occasionally (every other day) and I have to reboot to fix.
I had ZERO issues with this before the update a few weeks ago.

I haven't, but I'm about to. As a software engineer I'm fundamentally against a factory reset to fix an issue. It's like wiping your Windows hard drive to fix a driver.
