Wait, what?
"Google Search has stopped", but the you can't use your browser?
Anyhoo, can you answer these questions:
1. What ROM are you using? If you're using Paranoid Android, some DPIs aren't compatible with specific apps, and will crash them surretitiously.
2. Did you recently dirty-update a ROM? Sometimes, flashing an upgrade or a new ROM without a cache-wipe will result in cache-related crashes, e.g. incompatibility issues, which will often lead to apps crashing.
3. Have you tried clearing your Browser and/or Search cache? This is the go-to response if you have a misbehaving app.

I am on paranoid android, and I tried changing the google search app to default dpi. In any case I did not dirty-update my rom, but I will wipe my cache again.
And in the case of number 3, I downloaded a different browser and experienced the same problem.

Yes, there's been quite a bit of discussion about this in the main thread. I haven't tried it myself, but the new G+ app is causing FC for a lot of (all?) users. It may well be a problem with the underlying HTC base software. Only "solution" I've seen is to uninstall it, sorry.
I'd suggest we all wait for Google to release v2.0 officially, that way we would avoid a lot of issues
I get Force Close on superuser, anywhere from 2-10 times a day...whether the phone is judt on main screen with no apps open, but use any rooted apps like system app remover, rom manager etc etc....force close all the time.
pull out battery, go into recovery, fix permissions...sorts it for an hour or so, then starts all over again....aRGHHH!!!

Do you have the Market version of Superuser installed? If you do, check to see if it has updated to 3.0.5, and if so uninstall the upgrade. There's more about this in the main ARHD thread.

[Q] Paid apps not showing up in app drawer in ICS

So I attempted to purchase and install a paid app from the Google Play store but got the "An error has occurred" message. In order to circumvent this problem, I went to play.google.com and tried to install it that way to my device.
The push seemed to be successful and said "installed successfully" but it's nowhere to be found in the app drawer. It shows up in my apps list in manage apps but not in the app drawer.
I tried the usual fixes including clearing data/cache from the play store app, services framework, and launcher...all with no luck. Any ideas on how to fix this issue. I've uninstalled and installed the app over and over with no change.
For reference I'm on
ROM: Decks ICS PB22
Kernel: Mason's 0.14
Launcher: Nova
Since that ROM is still in development, you are likely to run into problems like that. The only thing I can say is to re-wipe and re-flash the rom.
Could it be a permission issue?
Try fixing the permission in CWM or something?
Fixing permissions and reflashing didn't work. It could just be the rom, I'll post if a future update takes care of it but I have heard of these kinds of issues happening with the updated Play store.

[Q] Lots of Broken stuff on 4.2

I recently updated my Galaxy Nexus ROM to Paranoid android based on 4.2. I noticed a few issues...
After upgrading I stopped getting Facebook notifications.
DashClock widget is showing up as incapable in the Play Store.
I can no longer get play store apps pushed to the device through a browser.
I can't sign in to Google Plus. My google account shows sync errors (everything but Google Plus is syncing).
I tried a factory reset because I suspected Titanium Backup might have caused problems. I tried using the Google stock ROM (4.2.1). Nothing fixed it. Note that I didn't have issues with previous versions of Paranoid Android. I have done some googling and forum searching to no avail. Help is appreciated, thanks.
I do presume you've wiped all caches through twrp or cwm?
If not, then do so and reinstall the ROM again.
Helpful advice: when upgrading, unless you absolutely MUST, don't restore apps or data with TB. Many users reported instability issues after doing so. Always download fresh apps from the play store

Yes, I wiped all Caches before upgrading. I will try again without restoring.

[Q] Google Play Services keeps crashing?

Hi. I just installed unofficial CM9 on my Wildfire Buzz and to update hangouts, I required Google Play Services. I installed it from the market but it seems to be Crashing every few seconds with the prompt "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped"... This has been getting real annoying. I nearly tried everything, Wiping its and play store's cache, data, rebooting to recovery, wiping cache and dalvik cache, factory resetting and even just re-installing Google Play services.Nothing seems to work. Do I need to convert Play services to a system app or something? I'm confused. Someone help?

On the cm9 thread there should be a package called GApps (short for Google apps) did you flash the correct version for ICS?

Seems odd.
Yes, I did. I also noticed that the play services framework IS there in system/app but it installed the update as an absolutely different app. Why do I say so? Here -
1.When I installed it from the play store, It said installing not updating
2.It can be moved to the sdcard with ds app2sd without ds system app remover.

This error mainly occurs when I load the play store or hangouts. Should I try to backup the install app to an apk and replace the one in the system folder?
EDIT! : Google Play Services has gone missing from /system/app after reboot! Even play store has automatically downgraded itself and Gives "server error" when I try to open it. Re-installing ROM with different slim-gapps package rather than full gapps (Saves me 40MB space!---- Lulz.xD)
Whaa?

Okay, I reinstalled gapps and the rom and I still have the same issue. It pops up ever 7-10 seconds in Play music. Any help? Had this issue on another port of cm9 too! Is this an ics bug?

Does the ROM thread state it as a bug? Can you grab a logcat?

I really don't think he Rom thread had anything useful. It is not listed in the bugs section. I followed all the instructions again and didn't get anywhere except 2 more errors - com.google.process.gapps has stopped and Play store has stopped. Trying to get the logcat now. The error only appears when I connect to the internet. Shall I turn off sync? Can it be related? If it doesn't work, I would probably have to change my rom. >.<
I'm using this rom with the Full Gapps included on the thread. Still Google Play services has stopped. :/

Edit: Google Play services has started to receive the 2nd update today. Let's see what happens! Will start logcat once play services is up and running to capture the first force close.

Hmmm. A few more questions
Have you moved any Google play related apps to your sdcard?
Does your sdcard have an ext partition?
Is the date and time on your phone correct?
Can other apps connect to the internet without issue?
Is your home internet connection stable? ie any chance the gapps package you downloaded has became corrupted?
Had you tried any other ROMs?

Didn't force close yet!!

Have you moved any Google play related apps to your sdcard? - No. I had earlier. Right now, all on internal storage.
Does your sdcard have an ext partition? - No
Is the date and time on your phone correct? - Yes. It is usually on automatic.
Can other apps connect to the internet without issue? - Yes. Browser and Talk can connect. Hangouts after update does connect but keeps crashing
Is your home internet connection stable? ie any chance the gapps package you downloaded has became corrupted? - Internet is on all the time and is supported by a backup power source so it never shuts. I re-downloaded it anyways and same issue. I have used other cm9 ics roms, same issue.
Btw, it just finished updating, No issues yet. (Been 30 mins! Woah!Still connected to wifi)

Breaking News! It has been fixed I guess! No force closes at all after update!

That's great news have you tried it on data and not on WiFi? It might have been your internet connection
Also as a rule of thumb you should be careful what apps you move to your sdcard as lots can have issues and some cannot run all the time (which is required for apps like SD maid)
If your getting really low on space try looking at using an ext3 partition on your sdcard and app2sd type set-ups

Thanks! But, won't moving to the sdcard and moving to an ext3 partition give the same results? I found why I was having the error. I think it was because my device was always downloading a real old version of play services. Anyways, I am trying a different rom now. Let's see if this one has the issue too or is it fixed by google. Any suggestions to some fast 4.0.4 roms? I tried Cm9 unofficial. Searching for more. Currently trying elementary ux.

Can't open play store...

Hi all,
I have a 10.1 tab and for the past week or so I've not been able to access the play store. I've tried clearing the cache, rebooting etc but nothing I've tried works.
Does anyone have anything else I might be able to try?
Thanks.
Is your tablet an original one ?
Solution
This problem has occurred to me on many devices before.
Some of the most common reasons are:
Date and time are incorrect
Device is not original (playstore manually installed)
Google play services corrupted
Try seeing if you have any of those reasons above.
Date and time is the most common for me. Also if these don't work please root your device and install a custom rom with playstore pre-installed.
Go into "Manage App" and uninstall updates from the Play store.
