Hi guys, first post here so please be gentle. I have a SG Note and recently Google Play updated and now whenever I go on to the store and try and type, it freezes up and flips out. Weirdly, more so when I press 'o'. I have cleared the data and cache etc rebooted several times but nothing seems to cure this problem. It just constantly 'Force Closes'.
Please help, as I really don't want to factory reset if possible.
Thank you in advance
Is the phone rooted or modified in any way?
No, it's all stock at the moment. I tried it last night and it seems to work in the horizontal position. Very weird as it works fine when using the keyboard on anything else, like right now it's working fine.

Anyone else had this?
Today I removed my calendar widget because it seemed to be syncing improperly, and long pressed the screen to re add it. I tapped widgets, then when I tried to scroll to the next page of widgets, Google Search force closed and kicked me back to the home screen. Repeated three times, same result. Uninstalled updates to Google Search, and the problem stopped but also the home screen went back to the default startup arrangement.

Same issue here. I have even just reflashed a stock factory image and it still happens, must be a recent Google Search (launcher) update that is breaking things. Don't seem to be many people reporting this issue though...

Found another post that cured this problem.
Clear Cached data in Settings/Storage/Cached Data
Worked for me!

Same problem here. But I don't think it was because of adding widget.
I did nothing and it just happened. Both text search and voice search stopped responding.
After rebooting, it worked for a while then it crashed again.
FYI, my problem happened before there's an update yesterday. After updating new version, the problem is still there.
I own both Nexus 4 and 5. The symptom only appeared on Nexus 5.
Okay I'll try upgrading again to see if it still crashes. I have a Titanium Backup of the current setup.
Alright, tried that. Immediately after the upgrade, it once again crashes when I open the widgets menu. However, clearing the cache does indeed fix it. Thank you!
I'm slowly leaning back towards just ditching this to return to Nova Launcher though. The new features I use so rarely anyway.

bad widget, bad!
Encountering this same issue for the last 2 days, although I haven't tried to add a new widget in over a week. Attempted clearning cache, and uninstalling any recent apps - no fix. Multiple restarts - issue persists.
I'm running ART... can anyone else verify that they get this issue whether or not they've changed their runtime?
cheers
Art seems to be the cause here, well definitely was for me.
solution
Simple, but effective.
I continued to have this problem until I turned OFF Google Now, then turned it back ON. From that point on I have had no problems adding widgets or changing wallpaper using either runtime.

This worked perfectly for me; tried clearing apps cache through system settings, didn't work. Went into recovery, cleared cache, solved it. Thanks!
Sorry to bump an old post but I'm having this problem (not running ART), and clearing dalvik + cache didn't fix it for me. Any other things I can do to fix this?
since putting my phone back to standard factory mode yesterday, i have noiced my phone's auto rotate gets stuck on landscape mode and it wont go back to normal. If i use the camera straight away its on landscape mode.
I have tried the tes snsor page an it passes, i have tried a fctory reset and cleared cache and still no avail.

ive just tried ultimate rotation app. put app settings on Auto for the camera,messages, maps etc and stil no joy.
Been told seen as the galaxy 2 came on gingerbread, is it worth putting that firmware back on to see if it could sort this problem out? As it seems there is bug with jellybeen.

just installed ICS 4.0.3
sorry to go on. i have just installed ICS 4.0.3 (cleared cache and did factory reset as per guide here) and upon start up to my surprise, auto rotate is still getting stuck! i have notice on camera or say messages when on landscape mode. if i tap the back of my phone after a few taps it will go the right way roun
d,also on camera pictures will come the right way up. This is baffling me now. There was nothing wrong with my phone when i got it few month ago.
Is it the hardware at fault (i have dropped it but in a rubber /plastic case) the odd times.
what would you suggest now?
I'm desperate, till two days ago I had a perfect phone just for my needs, nothing more. Then, all fo the sudden, some apps like Apus Launcher, Lock Protection, Mico (some kind of dating app) and other useless apps that don't even work keep installing. At first I thought I had a virus, so I factory reseted. They came back, so I tried reseting, and disabling auto recovery of data, changed google play account and etc... Now, here is the biggest problem. They are coming back, although at less speed. But the real problem is, MY PHONE WILL JUST TURN ITSELF ON ALL OF THE SUDDEN, GO TO THE GOOGLE PLAY PAGE OF THE APPS, AND START DOWNLOADING THEM. While they are being downloaded, my phone will block, showing "Loading launcher" untill they download and he will come back to normal again. Please, I am desperate, if anybody has any idea how to disable this.

Hey,
Yesterday started noticing issues for my S7, which I've had since launch. Have not rooted it or flashed anything to it, but noticed issues yesterday and still occurring now after trying a few things.
Issues include:
-Opening a folder/pressing multi task button, it will probably auto close in a few seconds.
-Kingdom hearts game is now stutters every few secs, music and video.
-Keyboard vibration isn't quite keeping up to button presses.
-General slowness, drag an icon to uninstall it, doesn't direct to the home screen. Even if it did and you dragged it to uninstall, it didn't on one occasion.
-Playing a video on the Youtube app will eventually cause the video to stop/pause every few seconds
I tried clearing system cache, turning off/on, restarting, using smart manager to clear app caches. None of these have seemingly fixed the issues.
Any suggestions would be welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I think it is related to latest oculus update. try deleting this app if you have it.
Try to factory reset your phone, but if that doesn't help then I would suggest taking it to the repair shop.

Very good point, I did notice that update yesterday, I'll have to try it later when I get the chance, surprised it can mess with the phone despite not being in VR mode though... Thanks for the suggestion!
As for factory reseting, I'd like that to be the last thing to try, as 1. It's gonna be a pain to restore everything back, and 2. I have my bus ticket on my phone using an app, and I think I may lose it if I do this...

It's because the app is stuck in an install loop, the update never completes
Oculus Rooms is the culprit, kill it until they fix it
No factory reset necessary. Install Package Disabler Pro, disable the following:
- All bloatware (via menu option)
- Facebook App Manager
- Facebook App Installer
- Oculus Home
Reboot, wait 5 minutes, and see how Kingdom Hearts is doing at that point.
Hey guys, recently my phone is acting really weird... Whenever i install a new app from play store, when i try to open it, the app crashes.
If i uninstall it and reinstall from the play store it works just fine.
Any ideas about what could be the issue?

Try clearing play store cache, if it still does it, boot to recovery and clear caches from there
Great

Just to update, I uninstalled all Oculus related stuff and it's all fine again. Thanks a lot!
Only problem will be when I want to use Gear VR again, I presume it will all be installed again, though at this point I don't use it regularly really, so I can leave it for a while.

Just a quick update
When i did that it worked that day. Now i installed a new app and the craching app issue is back :/
I'll try to clear android cache from TWRP and see what happens
So it worked for one app (the one i tried after clearing the cache). Opened the app and no crashing. Later this week i installed a new app and same problem, so i booted to recovery and cleared cache from there. Installed a new app (google weather i think) and the app crashed... Any other thoughts on that subject?
Hello all,
I just wanted to share my experience with Android 7. It was available for me to download a few days ago, so I took the plunge. The UX looks changed, apps are responsive and the blue light filter works well. But there is just one problem: the clock. The app keeps crashing when I open it so I can't use any alarms or timer.
Is anyone experiencing this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions?
Thanks, Fritz_F
Exact same problem. I use different clock now anyway... But as the app is completely frozen.... I can't turn off the alarm that I've made.... so it's every day 7:55,yeay ! Help pls
I have the same issue too. Any solutions yet?
What's the Version of the Build? And did you try Force Stopping the Clock app then Activating it again?
Try clearing app cache and force stop. Restart.

Just an FYI... i got this working.
Clearing cache and force stopping wasn't enough, I also had to clear data as well. Now it all works again.
Thanks for the ideas above which lead me to this solution.
