Google Voice Force Close Upon Startup

Anyone else experiencing this? Any workarounds? This is annoying me.

I did at first boot. I then uninstalled Google Voice and reinstalled and all was well.

I get it at first boot everytime I reboot I'm going to uninstall it and reinstall and see how that goes

I also get the GV FC. I'm on Fresh 1.1. Haven't tried uninstalling.

I just re-installed. Made no difference.

This has been noted before.
The onyl thing you can do is find a lower version and install it. The latest version doesn't play nicely with Sense.

Can someone post a working version? I'd appreciate it.

I reboot my phone like once a week. So what's the big deal? Its not like there's anything wrong when you use the app.

Actually I have the Hero and Samsung Moment, and it happens to both phones oddly enough

Why? The *current* one works just fine. Just don't get click-happy.
If you think you need to reboot the phone, LEAVE IT ALONE, give SenseUI a chance to init, and it won't FC.
If you're the type that immediately unlocks the phone, only to be greeted by the spinning "Loading" message, it's going to crash. Deal with it.

If I recall correctly, I have rebooted my phone and allowed it plenty of time to load and still was greeted by a force close message.
I attempted to search the forums for this issue being brought up before, but I was greeted only with people begging for invites.
I was just curious if there was a workaround. Perhaps I am the only one experiencing this issue.

No, ur not alone...I experience the exact same thing. My workaround (as someone wrote earlier) is to just use a slightly older version (I use build 0.2.8).

Older version. Enjoy

This issue has been reported to Google and appears to effect 1.5 phones (with or without sense).
I'm not convinced that Google is listening, but it *has* been reported.

Add your voice (no pun intended) there and maybe someone in Mountain View will notice.

Yeah, the support site can be hit or miss & I say that strongly.

Much appreciated, guys. I'll give that apk a shot once I'm outta work.

I can verify that GoogleVoice is NOT force closing on AOSP 2.0.1 (the one with live wallpapers running).

Add widget, crash Google Search?

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...

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?

Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.
Sent from my PURE XL using Tapatalk

Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.

It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

That right there is worth it. I'm installing it now.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.

Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.

Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.

turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?

Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

I do, but it was never a problem before the update. It seems rebooting helps with this issue, and then it lasts for like 1 month and then happens again. And now battery lasts nothing! do you have this issue after the update?

S7 causing multiple issues (Slowdown, stuttering, auto closing)

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?

When this happened last month it was server side on google....iirc

Many thanks, I made a factory reset, it appeared, then vanished again...

It's a bug in the Google App and is missing for nearly everyone. I imagine Google are aware, but your guess is as good as mine at when a fix might turn up.

Mine works fine when I'm at home AND the Wi-FI is turned on at home and on the Pixel...

Do you folks have fine network location allowed? That is required for it to work.

I tried all the fixes, nothing can bring it back... I will hard reset again...

are you enrolled on the google apps beta program?

I had the same issue.
I tried to uninstall updates on google app but did not change anything.
I have found this thread and found answer to my problem:
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUs2dHrNxLnIYM/?hl=by
It might be caused by associated accounts : I dissociated one of my 2 accounts, uninstalled app updates, updated the app and restarted the phone.
Weather showed upon restart...
UPDATE : Forget about it, the issue came back.. ?

Google App version 9.02 apparently broke it. If you rollback to pre 9.0 it will work properly again.
Beta 9.04 fixes this as of today....

Thanks, I confirm latest beta fixes it.

This still does not work. I cleared data from the Google app, restarted, and it worked for a day or so... then quit again
