Why does this keep happening? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Anyone know why this keeps happening when I try to open an article from my Google now feed?

Happens to me too. Sometimes it works by closing it and trying again but most times nothing.

I am getting the same issue as well!

Does the google app have all permissions enabled, and chrome as well?

Google didn't have the Storage enabled, and Chrome didn't have the Microphone or Contacts enabled. I switched on the storage permission, and I think it fixed it.

Well I thought it was fixed but still encountering the issue. When I click on a link in Google Now it flashes an error page then goes blank.

This is the error page I get.

Tried clearing the cache of the Google app and browser?

Yes did that but it still happens.

Did you by any chance delete Chrome from System\app then install from the Play Store? I was having a similar issue with multiple apps and it seemed to be a problem with the Play Store version of Web View. With Chrome back in System\app it isn't happening anymore.

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] DF-BPA-10 Error

I have an AT&T Galaxy SIII. I have searched for this error with no success. I see many posts regarding DF-BPA-# errors but not 10. Mostly DF-BPA-09. If I try and download a free app from the play store I get "Error processing purchase" [DF-BPA-10]. I have tried clearing the data for Google Services Framework and the Google Play Store. Those don't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

*Force Close Play
*Clear Play Data
*Clear Data for Google Services
Restart into Recovery , Fix Permission
Reboot

This sounds like overkill to me.
I just had this problem recently, because I was trying to install an app the seemed to be restricted to the US IP addresses. I was using DroidVPN and for some reason, when logging into a browser, Google was thinking I was in the Phillipines. Seeing as how I'm in Taiwan and the VPN was routing me through the States (multiple online services confirmed this), it was a little odd. Anyway, I think the problem was a weird mismatch of caching and IP address.
I was able to fix the problem and get the program installed by force quitting Google Play (I have Play Services disabled...but you might want to do this also if you have it enabled). I then cleared the cache, but not the data. I re-opened Google Play, waiting for it to load a little longer than normal, searched for the item again, and installed it without a problem.
Don't it's device specific, and I'm using a Transformer Prime (TF201).
Hope this helps!

Android messages showing blank threads?

So this happened after the app update...wtf is this?
I have this same problem. I've noticed that it happens after I've used the Amazon music app. The only fix I've found was to force stop the Amazon music app and it clears these blank messages. I'm now on Android 8.0.0 and had this issue as well with the latest Android version 7, I was on. I have the Pixel 128gb on Verizon.
Its a problem with android messages
Yeah, I don't think it has anything to do with the Amazon music app running in the background anymore. Previously, when I saw the prompt that Amazon music was running in the background, if I started the messenger app, I got those blank threads and as soon as I force stopped Amazon music, the blank threads disappeared. Now, they stay and just go away on its own. Even with the recent update to messenger 2.5.211, it still does it.
It's definitely an issue with messenger.

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same issue.
I have this problem also after restoring the sms with the sms backup and restore. Basically the messages are there but I can't see them, only those ghost threads/messages and I cannot scroll down on the message list to see more of them.
same problem. here is what i did.
I downloaded hangouts and manually set it as default app for sms.
Then i opened up hangouts and went through all the threads that messenger wouldnt show.
Then i went back and forced stopped messenger, cleared data, and set it back as default.

Unfortunately the hangouts is not supporting sms anymore and is though unable to be set as a default sms app.

i have no idea why i had typed hangouts, must have been late. i meant to say verizon messages.
I got it working. Just disable the messages app and choose yes when it asks if you want to go back to factory app. Then clear cache and data and enable the app again. Then you can view all the messages. After this updating the app through play store is also safe and the messages remain visible.

Unable to login to Instagram

I can't seem to login to Instagram. After login I get a blank screen and can only go back to login. I'm stock not rooted. I've tried clearing cache and data for Instagram and tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Still doesn't work. Anyone else had a similar issue?
I've also been having the same issue. Just got a GP2XL, it sucks. Bump!
Hopefully someone will save us....
Try using the folio app .

I managed to fix mine.. if I recall, I had to login to Instagram on chrome browser first because it detected that "someone" else is trying to login.. once I did that.. miraculously the ig app worked. Let me know if that fixes it for you.

Can't sign into Google Chrome after Oreo update

Hi, BND-L21 here, recently updated to Oreo through Firmware Finder. Ever since the update, I can't sign into Google Chrome. When I tap "Sign in" and type my email address, I get a "This account already exists on your device" error. I tried removing my Google Account and adding it again through Chrome, but I get the same error. Same goes for all my Google accounts.
I also tried resetting Chrome, installing the Chrome Beta app, removing permissions, enabling all permissions... same thing. I'm at a loss here! All other apps seem to be functioning just fine. I tried Googling for an answer but couldn't find anything useful. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The only solution that comes to mind is wiping your device, it solved the issue for me. Something got corrupted inside google apps data, it's happened for me in the past when I was installing gapps packages over others which were already present, sometimes it causes that.

Same issue here and Chrome is very unstable and slow. The scrolling feels like i have a 5 years old smartphone. Hopefully they fix the issues soon.
I have fixed the issue by doing a factory reset ..... Now it works normally again but Chrome is still slow and freezing. (2 tabs open only)

Indeed! :good: It's way smoother
Oh wow, is the only real solution to do a factory reset? That's really annoying! Chrome Beta doesn't allow me to sign in either...
Edit: Rolling Google Play Services back to the factory version and clearing the cache seems to have fixed the issue for me!
Uninstall google play service fixed for me
I got huawei mate 10 pro, i am already on android 8.0 since day 1. However just recently i got the same issue. Uninstall google play service fixed for me. but what's that mean is google pay will lost all settings and you will need to add your credit back there again.
