I got a weird issue on my brand new G3 (32Gb, Italian version, updated OTA to firmware "h" and rooted using stump root).
When I opened for the first time the Instagram client and tried a login, the G3 keyboard opened up, but it accepted no input. It was totally frozen.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing Instagram to no avail. Same result every time, keyboard opens but it is frozen. Rebooting the phone gave the same results over and over.
Last try was to install an alternative keyboard. I selected the first option I found in the play store, swiftkey, I have set if as the default keyboard and tried again with Instagram. It worked flawlessly this time. After logging in I closed the app, changed back the default keyboard to stock and opened again Instagram. This time it did not need a login, clearly. I tried creating a new picture and changing the caption. Now the stock keyboard works.
Anyone had this apparent incompatibility between the G3 keyboard and Instagram login?
Cheers,
G.
For info, the keyboard is screwed with chrome too
If u have google keyboard installed its seem to not like the lg keyboard ending sometime in typing only letters.. Erase the keyboard data and cache too
From Lg G3 "the beast"
I did not have the google keyboard installed, nor any other keyboard. Did not think about clearing the caches, I went for a factory reset. Problem solved
Thanks
Restart phone twice all issues will be gone forevrr

My Nexus 7 2013 or FHD or whatever has been working great since day one. I was just now listing to some music, and put it on pause to speak with a co-worker. I just came back to my desk with the Nexus boot up logo showing. It took a very long time (3-5 minutes) for it to finish booting up.
After unlocking the tablet I'm greeted with "Google Play Services stopped working." Instead of loading NovaLauncher right away it it asks me if I want to launch the default launcher or NovaLauncher. Selecting Nova greets me with the default NovaLauncher layout--all of my icons and folders have been lost to the default. And I no longer have a PIN set or anything.
Poking around further it seems several other things have lost data. Swiftkey wants me to re-download the English layout and complete setup. All of the stock system apps want updates. And I keep getting pop ups saying Google Play Services has crashed.
What's really odd is when I want to bring this up on another forum someone else posted a very similar experience:
The Nexus 7 is great but my experience was short lived.
I don't know if it was a bad tablet or bad encryption but something seriously broke. I wanted to add my company email to my tablet and part of that process involves enabling encryption on my device. Everything was fine and running well, until I plugged it in for the night. At some point my Nexus rebooted and it was at the pre OS screen asking for encryption credentials. I thought that was weird but entered my info. It chugs along fine until it loads my lock screen where I immediately notice it no longer was asking for a PIN and my background changed back to the default. I go to my home screen and noticed my widgets weren't loading and I started getting error messages saying Currents and Play Store stopped responding. I try and access those apps but they go straight to a crash message.
I go ahead and factory reset it and when I tried to reapply the encryption it would go through the motions but it would never encrypt. I thought it was a bad reset and reset it again. Now it just hangs where it says Google and never boots up.
I ended up calling Google Support and I'm getting my Nexus replaced. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

I don't have encryption but I do have an exchange account added. There wasn't any remote wipe or anything. I haven't tried a factory reset yet but we'll see if I have the same issues the other person was having.
It's a little concerning to see someone else have almost the exact same thing happen. Makes me worried there's some defective memory out there. Has anyone else heard of this happening?
I've had some really strange experiences the last couple of days with my N7 as well. Bear with me as i try to explain.
I picked up my N7 after work yesterday and noticed the Fandango app had an update waiting. I tapped 'Update', and then went to check something in the Play app settings, and noticed the version was 4.2.9. When the Fandango app finished updating, i opened it up to check out some showtimes. After that i went back to the Play app, into the settings again, and noticed that the app version had been bumped up to 4.3.1. When i tapped the home button, the N7 locked up, and i couldn't do anything at all. I powered it down and attempted to reboot, but no luck. I could get as far as the boot animation, but no further, no matter how long i let it run, or how many times i attempted to reboot. The only thing that worked was to completely wipe everything via fastboot, reinstall 4.3, and start from scratch. I thought my problems were solved, as everything seemed to work fine once i got everything re-installed and configured again.
Until i came home from work today, that is.
Upon arriving home, i unlocked my N7 and was greeted by several dialog boxes indicating that both the stock calendar app and Currents had crashed. Neither app could be opened, as they'd immediately crash, and the stock launcher would also crash, even though i use Nova Launcher. I thought maybe uninstalling/reinstalling updates for Calendar, would help, but the Play Store would crash immediately and could not be launched. I went into settings>apps and tried uninstalling updates and clearing data for all three apps, but only the Play Store app seemed to benefit from this. Nothing seems to help Calendar or Currents. They won't sync or open, and i've also just noticed that the Gallery immediately force closes when i try to launch that, too. My Google Voice app, which i used last night with no problems whatsoever, had lost all its data and had to be reconfigured from scratch. I'm still going through the rest of my apps one at a time to see if there are problems with any of them, but so far all other Google apps are working properly.
I'm perplexed as to what the problem is. Software issue? Hardware issue? In any case, i'm calling Google Support to ask for a replacement, just to be safe. I'm hoping that the N7 i have now is just a lemon, and not indicative of more widespread problems.
I bought two, one works flawlessly (knock on wood) and the other one **** the bed after three days of use. I am returning it for a new one.

I'm all setup to return this one, and not a moment too soon as it's acting even wonkier now. DashClock force closes, and i'm finding some apps have had their data erased, while others are working normally. Hopefully the replacement works as it's supposed to, because i'll be really annoyed if i have to go through three or four tablets before i get one that works.
I just had almost the exact same issue, opened SoundHound premium and the nexus 7(2103) crashed.
After like 5mins it boots up, with my google account deleted (with it all my paid apps), all the google apps updates and google services crashing.
and above all extremely slow.
I'm now re-registering my account, to see if ir returns to normal.

Did you have an exchange account set up on the Nexus?
After this happened to me I wiped everything (I wanted to unlock the bootloader anyways) and things are going fine. If it happens again I'm going to exchange it.
Hi!
Been having a bit of problems with the Kitkat roms for our device,.
Both the rom and Gapps install fine in recovery (tried with both an ancient CWM, and now latest 4ext) and it boots just fine, but cannot sync with my google account. The usual menu asking if I whish to connect this device to a google account doesn't show automatically like it used to in previous android versions (only the menu to add a cyanogenmod account pops up. Tried both logging in to CM and skipping it, with identical results), and adding my Google account manually tells me it's connected, but it is unable to sync anything (cal, contacts, gmail etc) to or from my account.
Opening hangouts gives me the message "Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device", but installing the latest apk of Google Play Services manually does nothing to help.
Play store is nowhere to be found, though for example Gmail shows up like normal (but only says "Waiting for sync" when opened).
Tried Flinny's alpha 2 and 3, as well as Cyankat 1.0 and Nevergone's version as well as two different zips with Gapps. All MD5 sums checks out correctly. Full wiped several times. 4.2 works like a charm.
Has anyone else encountered this problem before? Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks!
Hmm. I had something similar happen as well, though not this exact problem. I kept getting I think it was Google Play Services and something else I can't recall right now kept on FC, so nothing would sync even though it showed the little status bar sync icon. :/

Thanks for your reply. Can you remember what you did to resolve the problem? I'm all out of ideas here, I'll try anything! (yes I'm slightly addicted, okay? I can stop whenever I want.... )
Since yesterday I've tried to dirty flash 4.4 straight over my 4.2, without wiping first. Sync actually kept on working, but Play Store, Keep and Drive couldn't connect, although Gmail and Hangouts seemed to work as normal. I tried to dirty flash Gapps on top of this, but although sync reported that it worked, almost all Google apps FC'd immediately on opening, including Gmail and Hangouts.
Any and every idea is much appreciated!
I am having a similar problem with the CM11 unofficial build for the LG G Pad 8.3. I appear to be the only person trying the ROM having this problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

I eventually found out that my problems were caused by having the wrong bootloader (had the one for the G2, and not the DZ in my case, they're similar but not the same) which had a systems' partition too small to accomodate Kitkat correctly, causing the problems described above. So you might want to check the size of your partitions, but I'm not at all familiar with the G Pad, so unfortunately that's all the help I'll be able to give. Best of luck, hope you'll find the problem!
Anyone know how to get Photos to work on the LG G4? I can bring up Photos on the computer. Other Google apps work fine on the phone but when I try to access Photos it first asks me to sign in and then either continually says "this account already exists on your device". or say can't connect to server try again later. Of course the account already exists on the device. Otherwise I'd be creating a new account, not signing in with an old one. I've tried erasing cache and data in the Photos app and stopping the app. I've also tried removing my Google account on the phone and then re-enabling it. Nothing seems to work. I've noticed others with other new phones have had the same problem but no solutions have been found.
Google Photos, just works fine here on my LG G4 H818N. No issues, so far.
A reboot evidently all that was needed. Working fine now.
Ha! A reboot fixes most things.. and if not, factory reset! Seems to be a common trend with our phones. I would have suggested to clear data and cache from the app menu -> google photos, however.
I had this issue too. I tried all of the above for two day, nothing worked. Today, everything is fine.
I was able to log in without issues but I couldn't search for photos. There was simply no search button or search option like in all the screenshots. Was super confused
Hi,
I updated to Marshmallow over the air on AT&T and everything works great other than the contacts.
If I try to add a contact using the phone app or the contacts stand alone app (which opens the phone dialer app anyways), then it crashes and I get the "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped" message.
I have rebooted several times and even see if I need to update anything on PlayStore, but I have everything up to date.
Any ideas on how to fix this? this is very limiting and makes the phone unreliable.
Thanks
fixed the problem with a full reset.
Hello,
I'm the proud owner of two D855 and one D858HK.
For about a week I've noticed that I cannot configure OkGoogle to work from any screen.
I tried Oreo, Nougat and Marshmallow ROMS.
I managed to make it work upon first install of a Marshmallow ROM, but after the first reboot, and Google updating its services everything stops working.
The microphone works because I can issue commands is I press the OkGoogle widget.
And here comes the problem.
I go to configure Assistant go to voice, OkGoogle and then move the toggle From nay screen, I get the voice training part and... I say OkGoogle as I did hundreds of times before. Nothing happens, as if the microphone was dead. But it's not.
So... I tried on both my D855 phones and on one V500 tablet.
It does not work!
The devices are rooted.
My Google account is in good order.
The language of the device AND the search language is set to English US.
I tried emptying the cache of the Google App...
I installed fresh ROMS.
I restored previous backups.
I'm running out of ideas and patience.
I need OkGoogle for my voice activated Taker profiles.
Any ideas?
So, I found out the culprit.
It's the Google app.
If I update it to the latest version I lose Ok Google.
So I must keep the current one.
I can confirm that Google app is creating this issue.
This post is written on Resurrection Remix Nougat.
So I uninstalled the Google update, trained the voice and everything works.
Now I must find a way to prevent Google from updating if I press, by mistake, the update all button on Google play.
First I tried to Detach app from Google store using Titanium Backup. It works, the app does not show on Google play. For a while. Then it appears in Google play...
Then I tried converting the app in a User app using Titanium Backup... And then Detach it from Google play. It worked. For now. The App itself, the Ok Google commands still work.
Nope...
After I made the Google App to be an user app and Detached it from the Google Play, after 3 hours I checked, it's still asking to update.
