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.

Why does this keep happening?

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.

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)

I've had this issue in the past you will have to remove your Google search history.

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!

Google Photos app enables itself everyday

Hello, I don't use most of Google apps including the photos app, but since I disabled it the first time I set up my phone, it has enabled itself everyday, every morning I check up my phone I find it enabed and asking for an update on the playstore....
Did anyone have the same problem? This also happened on three occasions with Chrome and Gmail apps.

I did this with the Apps i can´t uninstall.

AL00 EMUI 10 stable Google services broken

I recently received an update on my Chinese mate 20x. After the update, Google sync does not work and anyting reliant on Google servers is also malfunctioning. For example, WhatsApp cannot backup to Google drive, Google drive does not sync or backup and Google photos is also not working. I'm unable to sign in or switch accounts in the Google app. Tried the usual things like clearing cache etc but didn't help. I'm open to trying anyting and would like to avoid a hard reset. Anyone else having these issues? Any suggestions I could try? Thanks in advance

Thanks got the response. you upgraded and did a factory reset yourself? If so, is there a guide you followed after the reset on installing Google services?
Thanks again

It is possible because the China ROMs do not come with Google services. Just re-download and re-install the .apk file and it will be fine.
Google Play Store v. 17.5.18 Apk:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-play-store-17-5-18-release/#downloads

Thanks for the response has everyone. I just wanted to update and say that after doing a reset through the settings I reinstalled Google services and everything is working. As an added bonus, even my location history now works. It never did in the past.

you need Google Play Service
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-19-6-68-release/
Google Playstore
https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=google+play+store
Google Calendar Sync
https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=google+calendar+sync
Google Contact Sync
https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=google+contact+sync
you can find all Google Apps and many others on the APK Mirror Page.
These are the most important ones

I reset my phone and installed google play store from apk but location history still doesn't work, how can you enable it ?

Howdy.
Have you managed to solve this? My EVR-AL00 came with Pie and it also had Google Play Store pre-installed with GMS Installer.
Once I had it updated to Android 10, Google Play Store stopped working. I reset the device, got the Google Play Store APK from APKMirror, and installed it.
Now that I have sync issues. Entering Google account profile returns Offline status. Also Google Contacts don't sync and Goodie Books shows connection error when you open the Books app. I can't get any book, the app displays white screen when you open it.
Other apps like GMail and GPay indicate no sync issues, however opening Google account profile from any of the app doesn't display anything on any tab excluding the first one. Also the first tab in profile shows that I'm offline. While I'm not, as I can browse web, chat with WhatsApp, send and receive mail.
Any clues on fixing that?
