Google Apps Crashing

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.

Google Assistant

I had Google Assistant working it just came out of nowhere. I reset the phone now it's gone. How do I get it back.

I had faced similar issues. Go to settings>> apps>> google app tap on three dots and select uninstall updates. Reboot your device. Open playstore update google app and assistant will appear

I've only just noticed that I now have assistant. I thought it was still on US.
I've just set up all my smart home devices and it's working really well

I'll try and let you know

Resetting the phone didn't work, clearing app data and reinstalling fight work.

Unfortunately, Your feed has stopped.

Any ideas what this could mean¿?

I've been getting that all day today as well, wonder if it means theres a bug with the date or something?

I m guessing it has something to do with an update of Google App. I get the same error when opening it.

OMG, this has been happening to me all day as well and it's been driving me nuts. I've tried everything to fix it; reverted to the non-beta Google app, cleared the Google app cache/data, cleared Google Play Services data, and eventually reset my watch (twice). The Google app starts working again (though no feed cards) but then the watch installs "Your feed" and the problems begin again.
I'm on a Pixel with Oreo, for what it's worth.

Facing the exact same problem, reset twice as well, once the "your feed" is installed on the watch, i keep getting the error, i think the your feed is the app that pushes the google card to the watch? coz i don't see any of the google card appearing on the watch after getting those error, and i don't know how to disable the app as well

I have the same problem! for 3 days in a row this notification is appearing every minute! any solution?

I'm having this too...
Someone has to get a logat to see what app is doing this...

It's the Google app. Try opening it, you'll get the same error...

I'm hearing this is from the beta version of the Google application. Is everyone here opted into the beta version?

I am, yes. Uninstalling the beta version updates didn't help though, presumably because the watch hadn't synchronised any changes.

Same Story...
I've also had this same error for about three days, ever since the latest Google app update. Did a factory reset, and the error started again once the Google app installed fresh. My wife has a Moto 360 Sport, and the Google app on her watch now has 'Your Feed' by the G logo. I'm wondering if they made some Wear 2.0 specific change that's not compatible with Wear 1.0? I am using a Pixel XL with my SW3, for what it's worth.

Can confirm that the Google app is broken on AW. Everytime I manually start the app out crashes. Looks like Google has some more work to do. But hey, that's what betas are for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Opting out of the Beta program for the Google app, uninstalling the beta version, and then waiting a little while for the changes to sync to my SW3 appears to have fixed this for me and I can now open the Google app on my watch without getting the error. Unfortunately, this has also reset my home screen layouts and removed all my widgets

I'm using the beta as well. Haven't tried downgrading yet.

Finally found people with the same problem!
My Samsung Gear Live has been just permanently on a white screen saying my feed has stopped and the whole thing is literally unusable. It's been like this for about a week, and i've unpaired, resetup, cleared cache, rebooted and even uninstalled as many apps as I could via debugging. I did not uninstall "google search", but if it's not a root app I will try that now!

My ASUS Zenwatch is doing the same thing!

The beta Google app on my Pixel XL updated last night, and since the update the white screen "your feed has stopped" hasn't come back, but if I try and run the Google app on my SW3, it immediately kicks to the error screen. So the Google app still won't run on my watch, but the constant error screen has gone away. Looks like the Wear 1.0 version of the app still needs some polish.

LG G

Same problem. I switched watch faces to something from a company called HuskeyDEV. Prior I had a face that came from Android Wear. Since then it's only happened 1 time. Before it was every few minutes. No idea the switch might work, but it seems to. Just sayin

OK, so the very latest (23rd) Google app update seems to have resolved it for me. I uninstalled the Google app from the watch via adb and it didn't crash, then I let the google update go through and my watch then said that "feed" was installed and it hasn't crashed in 24 hours. Previously it would ONLY display the crash screen and was completely unusable.

Well it crashed again today, in an endless crash loop. I have uninstalled Google Search via adb again and it's fine for now.
Opting out of the Beta for the Google app might be the only permanent solution. I don't mind the bugs that come with beta's, but this one is making the watch useless. =-[

Google Feed/At A Glance widget not working

I noticed today that my Google Feed isn't updating. If I swipe left on my home screen I see my feed with cards but they are the same ones that been there for a long time. If I pull down to update I get a "Can't reach your feed at the moment" message and no cards show. If I lock the phone and unlock it I get the old out of date cards back but still nothing new.
I have also noticed that the weather isn't showing in the "At A Glance" widget on the home screen.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas on how to fix? I have restarted and cleared the cache of the Google app and neither have worked. The only other thing I can think of is going to Apps > Google > Storage > Manage Space > Clear All Data but clears search data, search history and feed settings which are used to populate the feed with relevant data. It would have to be set up again(sports teams, stocks, etc) and have rebuild search data which takes time. If that will fix the issue I'll do it but I'd hate to have it not fix the issue and have to start over for no reason.

Same issue here all day on my P2XL and on my wife's Pixel XL.
I found that If I disable the weather updates, my feed starts working again. So it looks like it has to do with the news and weather app. I tried to uninstall/reinstall it, didn't help.

I'm having the same issue. Interestingly though, if you uninstall the updates for the Google app, it works just fine.

Same issue with me too. Tried everything yet ain't working. Running 8.1 in pixel 2 xl

Seems like it's something related to weather updates from within google app, turns out if you disable it from "customize feed" your cards will be back to normal at the loss of weather info on the app and launcher. Glad I'm not alone tho

Yeah glad that I'm not alone too. Let's see what happens.

I was also having this issue but it started working fine 5-10 min ago.

I ran into this exact issue with my regular pixel 2 about 1 hour ago. When i connected to my wifi i got a system notification saying my streaming service stopped for google (was confused what that meant) but after that my feed did not work. Weather was not showing up in the "at a glance" app as well. I tried to uninstall google app updates, deleted all data google app data, removed my google account and then re added it, and did multiple reboots while on mobile data and wifi. All efforts was not successful. I also was getting the error message "we cannot reach your feed right now" on the google app while the updates were uninstalled.

Having the same issue. Can't reach the feed since yesterday!

Same here, on Pixel 2XL for me and Pixel 2 for two of my friends. Weather doesn't show up in At A Glance widget, disabling it in the feed does nothing to the feed, and the phone doesn't react to "Hey Google", but only "Ok Google" despite retraining the voice model. There's a Reddit thread going on this https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe...able_right_now_cant_reach_your_feed/?sort=new and I also spoke to Google Support at length, they've escalated this to their engineering team, since they have lots of reports of this today. They are asking everyone to send feedback from the Google Now app/feed with the screenshot -- that way they can determine the scope of who's affected

Uninstalled the updates and restarted... Now it works fine.

Yes, I noticed the same thing. Uninstalled the latest version and went back to the factory version and it works. Although, I did notice all the cards were very old items ( 7+ hours old) but I'm not sure if that's just because there really is nothing recent.

Of everyone who is having this issue how many are in the western United States (New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona)?

Hi all,
I have started experiencing the similar issue from today. Def has something to do with Google App update as in "What's New" section it does refer to changes to feed notification etc.
Things I have tried since I first started noticing the issue:
1. Phone restart.
2. Shut down phone, wait and restart
3. Clear data of Google App along side disabled/enabled app. (Ended up losing Google assistant setup and had to redo it)
4. Uninstalled Google App updates and restarted.
Only thing that has worked is that I have selected weather from feed settings and feed is back.
I have also sent feedback to Google with screenshots.
Cheers.

Let's see how'll Google solve this.

Same here. Moto x play

Oops...they did it again...Google has mastered the art of breaking what's working very well! They keep updating apps that only break many other dependent apps...I'm on the Pixel XL and it's feed seem to work when I remove the weather feed from it...looks like google messed up the weather service...

Back in business...

Is it fixed yet or still onn with the bug

9:45 PST and it's still not fixed. I believe there is a wide spread problem with Google and also PlayStation Network.
PSN has been wonky since Friday and Google in my area has been wonky since Saturday.

Play Store issue

Is anyone else having trouble downloading apps from the Play Store? Apps will get to 98%, then just stop. I've tried rebooting, clearing the cache and data for the Play Store, and Play Services. I also removed my Google account, and re-signed in. It works for a day or two, then goes right back to getting stuck at 98%.

Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu.
Were any Google apks updated recently or need to be?

I have apps set to be manually updated, and I don't see any updates available. I've even tried a factory reset.
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Forget a factory reset as even if it fixes it you're likely to trigger it again.
Try resetting the associated Google system apks back to the factory load. If you already done that check for updates. Make sure you are not using a misconfigured firewall or package blocker.
Google the error code. Playstore is a little bitc$.
Probably a setting... or a data issue.
Keep playing with it; Androids wuv being played with.

Not sure all of the ones. Goggle play service for starters. This one won't wipe your google sign in.
To nuke all of just clear all the data in all the google apks. Something may have got corrupted by backup when you reloaded.
Maybe what's needed as well is clearing Google online data. Then clear the apks data... again.
Something's misconfigured or corrupted -if- the your current software is compatible with Playstore.
Go through all your Google online and Google phone settings.
Play with it and remember to reboot after making changes; it may not take until you do.
Lol even when Playstore is running right it's a little sketchy.

When I Google the issue, there's a lot of people with the same problem. None of their suggestions have worked either. I've done the Play Services, and it works for a day, then goes back to not downloading apps.

Use ApkExport to backup your apps to the SD card/computer. You can easily reinstall them then after a reload. You always have a known good copy.
Works perfectly with no adware.
Sometimes the PS issues resolve themself after a few days/weeks:silly:

I'm trying the Beta version of Play Services. It's working for now, so time will tell.
