[Q] Google Now Widget gone missing disappeared - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Running CM10.1.3 stable on Samsung Galaxy S3 I747 and when I woke up this morning my google now widget was gone, just the widget. not on my home screen anymore, nor is it in my widget drawer. Google Now works perfectly, there is just no widget anymore. I've tried clearing data for google search app, using titanium backup i've uninstalled it and reinstalled google search from play store. Nothing else on the phone seems to have disappeared or stopped functioning.
Anybody else had this issue or have any advice?
Thanks,
Stu

Do you have auto update apps on? There was an update for Google search today. Maybe that is what happened. Try finding the previous version and see if you can get it back.

I rolled the app back to "factory version" and cleared data and cache, erased system and dalvik cache, and still nothing.

GN missing from Play Store Website after 4.0.4......

Hey Guys,
I updated to 4.0.4 last night by clearing the data for Google Services Framework and rebooted. Update went smooth. Noticed this morning that when I go to the Play Store website, it does not show the Galaxy Nexus under My Devices. Same thing for Google Dashboard. I am on AT&T in the US. Anyone else have this issue? Able to resolve it?
Thanks
Perhaps someone on custom 4.0.4 rom or updated via normal method I.e. Google push update can check if their devices are missing as well ?
If so it would most likely be an issue with 4.0.4 or Google play store

I fastboot flashed 4.0.4 update to my phone and it shows up in the Play Store. Just installed an app from the web page no problem.
Has to be something with the way you "forced" the update, OP. Try clearing your Play Store cache/data and rebooting, and logging in/out on the browser.

I tried this. Same thing. Galaxy Nexus does not show up in Play Store on the Web. I am able to download apps fine on the device itself. Any other ideas? Anybody else's not showing up in the Play Store?
This might be a dumb question but are you able to get into the playstore via your nexus? If you can perhaps you should try to download something from your phone and that might activate the play store to accepting your phone there.
Same for me, not showing up via the website but am able to download apps with no issue.

Thanks. That did the trick!
So I got my phone showing up in the Play store by signing in the store again. However, the store force closes every time I try to download an app from the web-ui. Anyone else experiencing this?
Downloading from the web seems to be working as normal for me. There was an error (927) bit disappeared after 20 sec.
Yeah, the problem resolved itself on my phone too.
i just cleared the play data sorted it instantly
it seems the problem is not the 4.0.4 update but clearing the Google Services Framework data. I still cannot see the phone on play store but as suggested above I will wait for another 30 min or so to see if it comes up.
PS: still on 4.0.2

This worked for fixing something missing in my device Play Store App, on my Razr M - it has yet to restore my device via the web browser.
Have tried everything else except Factory Reset (trying to avoid this).
Update: A day later my device is back via the web ~ though I suspect it's related to me removing a Secondary Google Account last night.

[Q] Location Apps Not Getting Current Location After Backup Restore

Hi all! I tried doing my due diligence to search for this problem on Google and this forum but didn't come up with anything.
I've got a VZW Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1. I had to get a replacement from Verzion because my old GNex stopped vibrating.
Knowing that Android doesn't backup all of your app data in the cloud I did a adb backup from my computer. Then started up the replacement and did a restore. Most things came back just like before. However, third party apps can't get the current location anymore. System apps like Maps and Google Now get the location just fine. But other apps like Foursquare and Weatherbug can only get the last known location.
I've tried reinstalling apps, clearing the cache and app data but it didn't fix it.
Does anybody know how to fix the location not being able to be accessed by apps after a backup restore?
Thanks!

I just did a reboot and it fixed it. (Hanging my head in shame for not doing this sooner).

Google play services and gaps problem

This morning Google play services and Google play store both stopped unexpectedly while I was on the Amazon app store. And now both are constantly giving me this message. I cannot open up the play store due to obvious reasons. I am running ecliptic kit Kat. I have not installed anything new in over a month. I have tried fix permissions with room manager but it didn't help. I've rebooted my phone, no help. I don't want to have to reflash this room but if I have to I will. While typing in this the messages appeared over a dozen times.

Do you have Titanium Backup installed? If so use it to wipe data on both apps, then reboot.

After doing that, it still didn't work. So I went into settings then accounts and unchecked everything that was set up to sync, then rechecked everything then it worked. Thanks for the help.

Gapps force close in restart

Just curious if anyone has run into this. Recently rooted and removed bloat and switched to android L boot animation,but on restart it keeps telling me gapps have stopped but all gapps still on y phone work perfectly fine.Anyone know what the problem could be?Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
i have the same issue. doesn't seem to mess anything up, but kind of confusing and annoying
Same here. It comes up after every reboot.
Same here. blah.blah.gapps has stopped error when rebooting my stock AT&T G3.
Same here on D855.
I'm rooted via ioroot and removed a bunch of bloatware.
same here and it happened on my G Flex after upgrade to 4.4.2 also. I got it to stop on accident. I don't know "which" did it, but the first pop up of that error I started uninstalling pre-installed (or disabled the system apps). I think it really has something to do with the hangouts update to google play services. It didn't happen at all in the store, it wasn't until I got home and started updating/installing apps. If you have this problem and aren't on sprint we can then narrow it down to the added google services above Gmail, youtube, maps or play store app since I use those everyday and none of the other apps "google" apps.
I also do not think its any of the LG Default software as I installed some of it again (or re-enabled) to check out if I liked it and the error hasn't come back. So if you could please, uninstall/disable hangouts and the google play services update that is required for the 4.4.2 release of it and let me know. I also installed nova launcher but I am almost 100% positive I installed it after I fixed the app stop responding error... sorry I am all over the place, I wasn't really paying attention to it I was just doing what I always do with a new phone. Playing with it.
You said you removed bloat? I had that same issue when I converted play store to a user app via tibu. I think I had also tried to convert play services to a use app. That's what will cause it to crash like that. If you deleted or converted play store this would be the cause of the force close of gapps

Just cleared the google play store services data and the error went away.
My friend with a g2 has been having the same issue lately. I've tried clearing downloads data and cache as well as play store to no avail...its annoying but a small quirk in the long run

I just upgraded to the TMO G3. I started getting this error upon reboots after I installed the Google Keyboard. Possible culprit?

See if he has Google Keyboard installed. If he does, uninstall it then reboot. That should fix it. For some reason, Google Keyboard is causing this popup.
Actually I think it's LG Keyboard. When I froze that app in Titanium Backup and restarted I always get the gapps crashed error. After Defrosting this app, I never get that error. I don't think it has anything to do with the Google Keyboard.

Can't update preinstalled apps.

I've just bought a note 8.0 from Tesco, and so far it's great. It came with the 4.4.2 update loaded.
I set up my wifes gmail account on it, and then went to play store to update all the apps on it.
There were none listed as installed.
I then went to app managed and cleared data and cache (didn't reboot) but still there waas nothing there, despite the device having
All google apps,
S-note etc,
Flipboard
Internet
Chrome
dropbox etc.
If I go into the store and find the relevant app, it then gives option to update, and then appears in installed section, but obviously this is time consuming, and a little concerning.
Any ideas, anyone else experienced this?
Pete
