Post OTA update to JB from ICS I encounter the following:
When I use the voice->text when composing an SMS or doing a search in chrome I get the following message:
Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped.
Then the input is stuck as voice.
When I open the blue Google app I get the same error, but at least this time I can switch back to keyboard input.
I've tried the following:
Reboot phone-same issue
Kill the Google Search task, reboot-same issue
Using APP search for Google Search, clear cache, clear defaults, reboot-same issue
Any other suggestions? Maybe it's just me with this issue?
Running Hboot 1.39, stock rom,
Just got a google search update OTA. It provided more functionality than before; when I tap the mic and talk it says it can't hear me and to try again. This is better than before, but still not working. It's the same after rebooting the phone.
Solved,
CWM nandroid restore to stock ROM fixed whatever it was.

On the latest fresh and latest cm6 nightly, whenever i try to use voice command (from the google search bar; "send text to so-and-so.......poop and pee") i always get a force close on com.google.android.voicesearch. i use google voice as my texting client. i've uninstalled google search and voice search, booted into recovery to clear dalvik cache, rebooted back into android, and reinstalled both yet it still force closes. again, i've tried this on fresh and cm6.
does anyone else have this problem when using google's voice commands to send text messages via google voice?

It worked for me
so that link didn't work for me.
/system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk and
/system/app/VoiceSearch.apk don't exist even though the google search widget and google voice search are installed.
i uninstalled google search and google voice search, deleted com.google.android.voicesearch, rebooted, reinstalled google search followed by google voice search, and still no-go. i still get the force closes. perhaps that method only works on steelh's rom?
I couple of days ago I installed the official RRU for Gingerbread but found it had too many issues with Wifi so I temp rooted it and downgraded it back to stock 2.2.
However I have been having serious issues with downloading apps off the Market since then. Whenever I try to do this I just get a 'Download was unsuccessful. Please try again' error message. I have tried to wipe the market, market updater and download manager cache but this does not fix the issue. I've also tried factory resets and that hasn't solved the issue either. The issue occurs on both Wifi and 3G. Strangely I can still install apps using the Market website (http://market.android.com).
I thought it may be an issue with the phone but after a factory reset I signed up to a new Google Account and I can download apps fine with that. However, I need to use my main Google Account as it has all of my contacts and app purchases on there.
Any help with sorting this out would be greatfully appreciated as it's becoming really frustrating for me.
I am having this exact same issue. I cannot download any apps from the market.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I have at problem with the navigation i google maps on my galaxy Nexus.
it simply crashes when every time i try to use it any one got a similar problem?
How can i fix it?
Not sure how you can fix it, but I don't have that problem.
I was using Google Maps couple of times and got no crash problem.
Do you have that issue with other GPS apps? Like other navigation apps? Try that.
Clear Cache and data of Google Maps and try again.
Are you on a custom ROM?
I am not on any costum ROM yet, and I am on version 4.0.1.
i have tried to clear both data an cache but it did not fix the problem
I have the same problem - stock ROM. It crashes on 4.0.1 and 4.0.2. Also tried to clear cache and uninstall updates. Nothing works
You could try downloading a GApps zip, search on here, then extract the navigation.apk and install manually? Turn off unknown sources, dump the apk onto the phone and launch it manually. Might work. Can't think of anything else. Good luck.
If i go into Navigation, then it crashes...the only way i was able to get navigation to work, is to search the address in google maps, then select navigate within the google maps app.
im not sure if you did this or not, but when you have hotplug enabled Navigation will force your phone to reboot when the screen is off. so if you have done anything with the cpu, that might cause the FC. (Undervolt, overclock, and hotplug(when screen is on) have no affect on navigation. Android 4.0.3)
OK so here's my story,
I'm rooted on stock ICS and I flashed google now which worked but then I flashed an S-Voice zip through recovery that was reported to work but it didn't work. No my problem is that no matter what I do on the phone, even regular use, my phone freezes for no less than 10 seconds and then say that the tts engine stopped working (both the google and samsung ones). Even checking the settings results in a freeze and half the time I can't enter the tts settings because of this. One of the times I did get in the samsung tts settings had no languages installed (maybe this is the problem?) but couldn't find a way to install any, for google I couldn't even enter those settings. I'm assuming the problem happened because of the s-voice flash because google now worked flawlessly until I flashed s-voice.
I was incredibly stupid and flash-happy and new-phone-happy that I have no backup through recovery (yes, I know, I'm an idiot) so I can't restore anything. I tried a factory reset and nothing, still get the problem. Google search still works regularly so I'm assuming its nothing to do with that. I am at a brick wall now and have no idea what to do sans flashing a stock ICS rom through Odin. I don't want to have to go there if I don't have to.
So anyone have any suggestions or am I screwed?
Hi
I need help.
On Friday I did a factory reset via settings menu on my m8 (TMO-111(DE)-stockrom, locked, s-on, 6.12.111.4-ota) 'cause I want to pass it on to my son.
After the process I completed the initial setup and mentioned messages "Google Play Services needed, please install" (coming from i.e. Hangouts and other Google apps).
I checked in the apps and found the Google play services completely missing. (Yes, they have been there and working before the factory reset.)
After performing another factory resets first via settings and then again (same result...) via bootmenu (again same result) as well as deleting caches and data via fastboot, I started to search for apks for manual installation.
I found them via apkmirror and tryed several 438 versions. After manual installation I get again and again popups saying Google Play services has been stopped.
I assume there is something else missing.
Have tried everything I could think of since friday. Well not everything, until now I try to avoid to unlock the bootloader and root considering the target person...
Maybe someone having a signed RUU 6.12.111.4 or newer which I could flash to get it working again?
Anyone out there having another idea how to fix this?
Regards,
Steffen
Hi. Did you find a solution? I have the exact same issue.
I also have this issue. any update?
I would suggest flashing a gapps package , but that might require unlocking and rooting
