Problems with Google account - anyone else?? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
Have been experiencing an annoying issue with what seems to be my Google account (I assume).
At least every other day I am getting an issue with downloading any updates from the Play store. I get the error 491 message. It also seems to effect the syncing of my Google account and my emails being received via Kaiten.
Once I restart the phone everything is fine...until it randomly happens again.
I have tried the usual problem solving such as wiping the dalvik cache, logging out of my Google account and signing in again but no joy.
I had enough last night and reflashed the latest UK rom and carried out a factory reset so that the phone was 'as new' but once again today I have had the above issues.
Is anyone else having this annoying problem???
Not sure what is causing it other than assuming it is my Google account as the internet and browsing is working well while these other problems exist.

Wipe /cache from recovery, should work but not sure.

Had it once, and only once, least week.
Rebooted, has worked fine since...
(Fingers crossed)

Chrome and Gmail crashing

So I have a blacked out chrome and Gmail installed and they both worked fine up till today. They won't open and just keep crashing. I flashed rom again twice after doing factory reset and wiping internal memory. After I rebooted the first thing I did was install blacked out chrome before anything else and it still crashed. If I install from market they work fine. I tried to clear data in app and it would still crash. I know enough about roms and flashing and how to do everything else with a tablet, so I'm not sure what the problem can be. Has anyone else have this happen to them? I also have both apps on s4 and they work fine. I just redid my whole tablet and the blackout ones just won't work. Does anyone have any ideas why they would crash now? Thanks
I was reading something that Google was changing some stuff around so the government can't spy on your stuff. Do you think they could have changed something on there servers so because I have modded ones maybe like the server knows so that's why they keep crashing?
Also I had a blacked out play store and now it just keeps updating automatically to new one.Before yesterday I had it patched with lucky patcher to not auto update, but for some reason the patch won't work anymore.It worked fine for months up until yesterday.
So I think it has something to do with my Google service framework.Can someone post there's so I can try to update mine.I installed a app yesterday and I think it might have messed mine up.thanks

Note 2 N7105 randomly doing hard resets and more problems

Hi recently my note 2 started experiencing problems out of the blue,
A couple of days ago, touchwiz did a random reset but no internal data was lost, i had to do go through the setup process though.
Today, my phone randomly at night did a complete hard reset out of the blue and i lost all internal data.
I've recovered most stuff now lots of applications are now failing and disappearing. For example, Facebook app will keep crashing every time i open and when i uninstall it and reinstall it, i get an error from google play store (error -110) and applications will just disappear completely from my phone and i cannot install it again because of google play error.
Anyone know whats happening?

Google Apps Crashing

Hello. I have a Pixel XL 128 GB, purchased directly from Google. I'm on the 7.1 software. Recently (hard to nail down the exact date) several google apps began to crash. As of now, it is ONLY google apps, and only some of them. Apps crashing are : google photos, gmail, and "ok Google" assistant crashes when I attempt to use it. The Google app itself works, but as soon as I attempt the voice control, it crashes the app. I am rooted as well. I've rebooted and cleaned the google services, photos, and gmail caches with no relief from this problem.
Any ideas? I love my phone and really want to fix this problem!
Thanks all.
I have had this happen on other phones and I have been able to fix it by logging out of my Google account, wiping cache in settings-storage then rebooting and logging back into my account. I have never lost any data this way. Your mileage may vary, hope it fixes it for you.

Long shot, but maybe these are related?

Thanks. I thought I was alone.:laugh:
Did you try clearing cache of those apps and logout of your Google account?
Ok, thanks for all the replies. I cleared the caches, all the history, etc. I also uninstalled all updates for the offending apps. Another weird thing I noticed is that Instagram also crashes the same way. But not OG+ (another instagram client) that seems to work just fine. It's weird that I can voice search from the Google app directly, and it doesn't crash, but when i use assistant, it crashes. I also deleted all google accounts, cleared caches, rebooted, and upon restarting, same issue. Any other suggestions? I'm at a bit of a loss here, and don't know why it is doing this.
I have the same problem. I get "Unfortunately, Whatsapp has stopped working" message and my app crashing while trying to open the message. I tried everything like factory reset, clear cache etc. but I'm not able to get rid of this problem. I'm also using Google Pixel smartphone.

Play Store Updates won't process & more

My phone has been wonky this week. Apps won't update, and "calendaring" services and apps not kicking off.
Blue light filter scheduled in the OS doesn't run at night now, or disable in the morning when it should.
Apps with reminders come in way late or not at all. Appointments for work alert multiple times for same event, even though dismissed. Date and time is correct on the phone.
If I reboot, the missed reminders flood in immediately.
Txt messages just sit waiting to be sent, reboot, send out. No differenence if on wifi or Cellular.
Force close the app and reopen or reboot phone, sometimes drafted messages still present and send, other times the draft is just gone.
I have tried optimized and High Performance battery modes, no difference.
Apps won't update either (22 waiting), sometimes download to 99% and just spin until I reboot, or fully download, then just sit there.
If I let the phone sit idle, notification will come up that 5 apps have updated, go to the Play Store and those same apps still show as needing to updated or being processed. Reboot, then they show updated.
I have cleared cache and storage data for the Play Store and Google Play Services, no change.
System usually has around 4.5GB Ram available. Earlier in the week I could run the device optimizer, and that would clear things up for a little bit.
Did get the security update from AT&T on Nov 1st, things were running fine before that.

Remaining phone details on attached screen shot.
Is this an OS issue?
Could a bad SIM cause this?
Do I have a bad phone?
I really don't want to have to factory reset the phone, just got it 3 weeks ago, any suggestions?
Factory reset is definitely the way to go. If you use a password manager, it's really not a big deal. Just make sure you backup anything not in the cloud. Short of that, start deleting apps, newest to oldest installed it updated, in hopes you find the culprit.
One thought though... if you installed the Samsung Labs stuff, try removing that first. Those seem a bit not ready for prime time.

I have deleted all apps from this past week and don't have anything from Samsung past stock apps.
I do have everything backed up in the cloud including my 2FA/MFA authentication is backed up except 1 can't be, so that will be a manual reset.
Appreciate the reply, figured the reset is where I'm headed, just thought I would throw it out there.
Well this is beyond frustrating.
Reset to factory, phone was fine until I restored settings, then I was right back to what was happening before.
Reset phone again, only restored content, no apps or settings.
I checked Google Play and Samsung Store for updates, ran what was available.
Things were going well, I would install a few apps, configure with Logins, continue forward.
I got a message there was an update, Samsung Experience Service and it Updated automatically, then everything started again, first that no further apps will install.
I Uninstalled Samsung Experience, but it only Uninstalled the update. I tried to install another app after this, not successful, even after a reboot.
I tried to reinstall the Samsung Experience from Play Store, would not complete.
Ran the app update from the Galaxy store successfully. Rebooted phone, still no other apps will install from Google Play.
I can install from Galaxy Store without issue, but not all of my apps are available there.
Even if I reset again, that update will come into play
So frustrated right now how much time I have wasted for this phone to be rendered undependable so quickly.
I think I might try creating a new Samsung account and see if that helps.
I read many issues with restoring. Try to factory reset it without restoring anything, and setup the phone, apps, and downloading everything manually to notice if it's helps.
I ended up taking the phone into an authorized Samsung repair shop. They flashed the phone with new OS with cumulative updates. Phone has been fine since.

Firstly,
i only saw/ read your above post (thread) now.
I'm glad you managed to sort your annoying issue out.!
What you experience, by factory resetting etc and issue still
persisted , i also experience 2 x with my older devices.
(Think it was note 5 and/or my Note 8).
Can't exactly remember issues i had, think one issue, was my Bluetooth quick setting icon kept on disappearing in the Quick toggles, and something else.
( Not similar issues , like you experienced )
Also only resolved it , by flashing relevant official stock Rom again (clean install etc.) as factory resetting failed to fix it.
Point /lesson here, is that a factory reset, does not always
help...?
Good luck.
