Having a problem when I try to go to Settings/Apps and try to open an app to adjust. Pixel C gives me an error message "Settings has stopped". Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

Here are a few suggestions > http://techbeasts.com/how-to-fix-unfortunately-settings-has-stopped-error-on-android/

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried all the options listed, but no luck. Don't know if this helps, but my Pixel C came loaded with Android 7. Most of the options seemed to be aimed at phones. The Pixel C doesn't have a home button until it has booted. Any other thoughts?

I would try a factory reset. Save anything that's on SDcard, because it'll wipe your device.

Same Problem here after OTA 7.1.1 update.

Same here. Worked some time but then Settings, Navbar and quicksettings diapperaed.
I am now on that 6.01 which seems to work good

Location settings force closing after OTA 4.1.2 update

Just recieved OTA update on my stock gnex using the google-framework cache clear/close process method.
I cleared cache of google-framework process and then stopped it, rebooted the device and after reboot was done i got the OTA, installed it and phone booted again. update was installed without any problems.
BUT: when going into settings => location access => and then tapping "access to my location" settings force closes.
i rebooted the phone a few times and tried everything that came into my mind, no solution
anybody got the same problem or maybe even a solution?

Same problem here and that fixes it for me too! Happens on my wife's Nexus 7 too, but she has NoLED there so this may be a bug that has to do with anything enabled under accessibility settings (or at least not ONLY Light Flow).
Edit: I wonder if this is related:
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.p...Swype-Issue-Thread&p=35850&posted=1#post35850
"Note: We have found that this issue is related to running apps that have settings in the accessibility menu in Android settings. In the meantime, you should be able to use Swype by disabling any apps that are in Android Settings > Accessibility."
Sounds like 4.1.2 has some kind of Accessibility bug,

Google play services error message

Can anyone please help me with this problem? I recently started to get this error message and it pops up every time I unlock and access my phone. I never had this problem before. I think it happened after I updated the 'Google' app but not sure if that is the cause. Also accessed hangouts for first time on mobile but didn't actually use it. Please see attached document for error message. Any help much appreciated, thanks.
anyone can help please?
If you think the error started appearing after updating the Google app, then try force stopping the app, then uninstalling updates. Or you could try clearing the Google app cache.... both options of which are located under Settings--> General--> Apps--> All.

I've tried that but the message still keeps popping up. Maybe it's a different app? I haven't updated to lollipop but I don't think that is relevant. Is there like a list of all Google associated apps so I can try clearing cache or force stop? Not sure what else to do
anyone else got other ideas? Help much appreciated thanks.

Pixel C freezing (not usable anymore)

My Pixel c is freezing a lot.
From time to tome it is not waking up from sleep.
I tried multiple factory reset without any success.
Even without any 3rd party application, I have the problem.
I tried to clean the cache partition but when I reboot in recovery mode, I have a the little android robot opened and the message "no command found"
Everything was working fine till march 2018.
Can you help me?
Shall I install another ROM?
Thanks in advance

I would suggest installing office LineageOS 15.1 (https://download.lineageos.org/dragon)
Along with the the opengapps package (https://github-production-release-a...esponse-content-type=application/octet-stream)
I noticed quite a big improvement in responsiveness my self and it felt smoother and better than stock 8.1.0 from google.
When in recovery mode where you see "no comand found" just press volume down and power in the same time and from there on you will see standard recovery, delete cache from there and reboot. Good luck

I've had the same problems with mine, how did you go about contacting Google?
Using the chat support.
The pixel c that I received in June is not working anymore as well.
The system is fine but the backlight stopped to work.
The warranty is finished since 2 weeks.
I bought a mediapad m5

OK Google not working.

Don't shoot me, I've done some searching but found no answer...
Ok / Hey Google is not activating the Google assistant on my stock android 10, Nov 19 updated phone.
Squeeze works and manually starting the assistant works but not via speech. It always used to.
When I try switch it on in settings, it switches off saying '
Something went wrong. Try again.'
Anyone else had this? And if so how did you fix it?
Cheers

I meant wipe Google app's data. Settings>apps & notifications>see all apps>click show system from overflow menu. Then clear all data from Google and OK google enrollment and reboot then set up Google app settings again

Hmm. A few more ideas if you're interested in trying
1. type "trust agent" into search settings and make sure it's toggled on under security settings. Maybe try toggling it off, reboot, then turn it back on.
2. uninstall google app updates and see if it starts working (settings>apps>google>overflow menu)
If none of those work I would think about flashing the factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/images

Thanks for the help. 1 & 2 did not work.
Contemplating whether to do 3 or see if December update fixes my issue!
So I reinstalled Android 10 from factory image with ADB. Not the OTA. Did not reinstate any back up and still hey Google does not work... "There was a problem".
Pants!
try these steps that will completely bring back Assistant to as close to stock as possible without totally resetting the device...
go into Settings/Apps & Notifications/See all apps
*you may need to display “all apps”
Google Play Services
Clear data from within “storage & cache”
Assistant
Clear data from within “storage & cache”
Uninstall
open Google Play Store
Go to menu/sandwich bars in the top left location
Go to “My apps & games”
Re-search, download, & install Google Assistant
launch Google app
Go under the “More” tab section
Go & Select the “Voice” section
Select “Voice Match” section
Select “delete voice model”
Choose “retrain voice model” (if possible – I don’t wish to delete mine)
Follow prompts and re-set up voice match model…
Make sure “Access with Voice Match”
I had/have to frequently reset Google Assistant and “hotword” set up, so this is the steps I take to reset Assistant so it will respond to me saying the “hotword”….it works 95% of the time where the other 5% is rebooting my device and then running through all of these steps……
Hope this ends up being helpful and good luck!

I would try deleting and retraining your voice model.
I had noticed a while back that Ok Google wasnt activating assistant on my phone. I deleted the voice model and retrained it and Ok Google as been working fine now to activate assistant. So letting the OP know that this worked for me.
FFS. Have tried all methods suggested here and I can't get ok Google or get Google to work. It works in my old Yotaphone but not my Google Pixel! Go figure!
I guess I will learn to live without it.
Thanks for all your help.
March update has fixed my issue! Hey Google working well again no.
Mods please close this thread.

how to stop System out of date update pop-up

Hey guys, I've disabled update notifications through play store and I've disabled auto update system under developer settings as well but this keeps popping up every now and then and I can't figure out to block it. I'm rooted on August 2019 pie build. I've searched the services for play services and play store and can't find anything related to what this update might be from.
I've searched around Google and XDA and haven't found anything regarding this specific pop-up. Anyone have any info?
Following..
I have same issue, but mine is more out-of-date than yours! [emoji16]
Hopefully we'll get some answer here, I have not been able to prioritize this issue in normal life, and this holiday season is not giving me any more time for sure...

The annoying part is it doesn't pop up as a notification or an app that would show up in overview mode otherwise I could just long press on it and figure out what process it's coming from. I gotta figure it's from one of the play services but there's so many different ones and nothing I've seen really stands out like updater or anything like that.
Just letting you know, if it pops up & you accidentally hit the update button, turn off wifi & data, then clear the cache/storage on Google Play Services to stop the update.

I think the process is android system, notification section, it should be listed as download or update or very similar, just turn it off.

This is funny. People are here denying updates, and I'm here wondering where my Dec update is. I still haven't gotten it along with a ton of others.

I'm on a 3a xl and I got my update Dec 2nd. You can always manually Flash the update it's all ready to download
Also interested in blocking this popup.
Bump
Just found this command to try in another system update blocking thread. Trying it out now. Not sure how often the pop-up appears but I usually see it about twice a week
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
I haven't seen any negative side effects to using this yet but if someone thinks so please let me know.
@CruelSun @ShatteredHalo
Just to let you guys know the command I previously posted has worked. It's been over 2 weeks now and it has not popped back up at all and nothing is broken that I've noticed so far.

There is nothing with update or updater listed that I can delete when I use titanium. I think Google combined it with play services.
Any idea where it would be located for manual deletion? I've searched through both system and priv apps folders and found nothing that would indicate it is the system updater?

Does the "pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog" need to be run on a rooted device?
I tried on my unrooted pixel 5, but get the following error. Unfortunately I can't root because of my banking apps.
Code:
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
Exception occurred while executing 'disable':
java.lang.SecurityException: Shell cannot change component state for com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.update.phone.PopupDialog to 2
at com.android.server.pm.PackageManagerService.setEnabledSetting(PackageManagerService.java:21042)
***
I found the answer myself. YES it needs root
I have tried to run this 'pm disable' command and run into the Java error. I am rooted, though with ADB, trying to gain root or anything, everything seems to get a 'permission denied' error.

Your device need to be rooted for it to work
