Hey has anyone ran into any issues with Third Party apps causing the phone to lock up once the camera is accessed? It seems to be happening with both Hangouts and the Skype app. I have Reset my phone as well as cleared the data and cache. I am running a rooted Sprint G4. Thanks for any help.

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).
I don't know when it it started, but my contacts just won't open, and even my dialer is difficult to open unless it is on the actual dial pad when closed last (if it's on logs, favorites, or contacts it also force closes whenever I try opening it). I was using Ready Contacts for a while, but I don't like it so I went back to my TouchWiz contacts and dialer to find they are all jacked up. I've tried clearing cache, manually force closing it, and clearing data, but nothing works.
Anyone know what would cause contacts to refuse to open? I'm on 4.4.2 NF9 rooted but otherwise stock.
Thanks.
I have exactly the same issue, any help would be appreciated

I just upgraded on the weekend. I did not have problems with contacts but had problems with Google services using to much battery.
I had to factory reset. You don't lose root, you will have to download it again.
Using Titanium back and restore data was problematic with apps like 3C Tool box that alter performance or permissions on your phone. I cleared my data for 3C and some force closes went away.
I was getting reboots when scrolling through some apps. Reinstalling 3C and resetting the data got rid of problems.
It is new firmware and sometimes it is better to reinstall apps than restoring them from backup.
I don't know if any of this will help. Just some thoughts from my experience.

Using xposed? First thought was the mod for showing a call icon in contacts list... if you are in a VoLTE area (and have it on) it FCs due to pointing to a non-existant image. Not sure it's the issue but figured I'd share.

That's probably exactly it, since it's intermittent, and seems to have started around the time I installed Wacom. I've disabled it and will see if the problem goes away. Thanks!
I just got the 1/5/17 beta version of the Google app today (via the play store beta channel). Will work one time for a voice command, then a second voice command will be heard by the app, immediately followed by a hang, then short delay, then force close message. Clearing app data will allow another single successful voice command, followed by the and hear then hang behavior.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?
I have uninstalled updates to run the stock included version (which is behaving fine) to work around the problem for now.
Here's the offending build:
My Google app did similar when I had the recent security update. Try clearing the cache from the app and see if it helps after a reboot. Mine only fixed itself when the app update to a regular (non-beta version).
Someone else said to remove and re-add your google account, although I didn't end up needing to do that.

Clearing cache didn't help me. Clearing all app data (including cache) reset it so it worked once.
I have a fully functional solution just uninstalling app updates - was just curious if I was the only one having the issue (would point to something in my configuration causing the issue) or if everyone was (indicating a problem with the app)

Hard to tell. Mine was definitely related to the recent security update - it stopped working right after that.

Gotcha. Google beta app updated to 1/9 version yesterday, haven't had a chance to test it yet.
Edit: newest beta (1/9) appears to have resolved the crash issue I was having, and it can also now speak inbound text content in hangouts (that hadn't worked for me for a while).
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.
I've beenn having issues with Snapchat accounts ever since getting a Realme X2. For some reason SC thinks I have 3rd party apps linked to it even tho I haven't even rooted my device.
Has anybody else had the same issue and know how to resolve it? Is there a way to change some stock settings that will stop this from happening? As snapchat support doesn't help with locked accounts.
