Hello all,
I have recently received my Nexus 5 and everything seems to be great. However, I have encountered a major (to me anyway) problem. It seems that Google Search from the persistent bar has a habit of freezing. To be more specific, it works fine for a while upon a boot. However, after prolonged use the search function becomes unresponsive. I am still able to select the bar but search does not work.
I have narrowed down a hint to what may be causing this. In the running apps section of the setting, I see Google Search is in cashed processes. When I select to stop this process Google Search resumes its normal function. Can anyway relate or provide advice to what may be causing this?

Hi all,
My phone:
Original Motorola Droid
Rooted
Running Cyanogen Mod 7.1
Using V6 Supercharger with multi-tasking settings
Overclocked to 1000mhz
I have this strange problem I can't find the source of.
I frequently use Google Maps Navigation.
In the past the voice is the standard robotic sounding voice with the turn-by-turn directions and speaking full road names during navigation.
Recently starting about a month ago I would use my navigation like normal, However the navigation voice would randomly (at a point after maybe 5-10 minute into the trip or more) change to a different voice that sounds much less robotic and would only speak turns, example "turn left", "turn right" and not speak road names.
On top of that the navigation app, and eventually the whole phone would freeze and then shortly after reboots.
Needless to say my nav app is useless in this state and I'm at a loss to find a fix.
I have tried removing any other apps that might have a alternate voice installed, such as Google Translate, and a virtual assistant app called Eva.
I do still have Vlingo installed and I like using it so I have neglected to remove it. I have even completely removed Google maps, and wiped every file with maps in its name from my SD card and from the root FS with root explorer.
I'm frustrated and if any of you fine people have any tips for me id love to hear them
Thanks,

Mine has been doing this as well lately. I used navigation twice a day every day on my way to and from work and it's done this a few times in the past couple weeks.
The voice is nicer, but also quieter.
I have an evo 4g.
I was doing a web search for this exact problem and found this thread. It seems only a handful of people have experienced it.
I have the Loquendo TTS engine, and lately the navigation is starting to use the "canned" non-TTS voice. If I quit navigation and restart it enough times, I eventually get my TTS voice back. Unlike what others have reported online, on my phone it seems that when google nav picks one or the other it sticks with it instead of switching randomly between the two.
I haven't seen anyone report it being fixed yet.
Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone else I'd experiencing problems with Google Search. When I search using the search bar everything seems to work well at first. However, after prolonged use the search function stops working. It does not recognise any voice commands nor typing commands.
I have noticed that in settings ~ apps ~ cached processes Google Search is there. Upon stopping the cached process Google Search returns to working order.
Can anyone shed a light in this issue please? What's the best way to contact Google about such a problem...where can I make a bug report?
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I recently tried using a few [5.1.x] ROMs, and as habit I always install xposed with them. The xposed(experimental [5.1] version) and its modules worked flawlessly,no problems at all. But every time, after a few minutes (or hours) of boot, the phone misbehaves with the following consistent symptoms:-
1) The back and the menu buttons stop working. However the Home button still continues to work. Software keys also work.
2) The keyboard stops popping up (Default Google keyboard, Anysoft Keyboard, Google voice keyboard). Task manager shows none of these processes being created after that point. This happens sometimes even during typing when the keyboard disappears and wont show up until I restart my phone.
3) Clicking on any of the icons doesnt create the process, i.e. the app wont launch after the misbehaving symptoms have started.
The only way to solve this is to restart, but the problem returns after a few minutes again.
I have taken all precautions of checking the version compatibilities of the software and modules while installing them. They work perfectly for some time before going bad.
I have this problem only on 5.1 ROMs,that too in combination with the xposed. When I revert back to 4.4 or 5.0 ROMs with their respective xposed versions, the problem goes away.
Does anyone else experience this problem as well? Does anyone know a permanent solution to this?
All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
BUMP
try disabling battery optimization for those apps.
It seems that you have several bugs and if they all start happening after you have installed the latest update, then expect a patch coming soon.

I have actually done that. Found very limited success. I'm also finding very few results on this topic. Surely it's not just me though.
And I'm dreading the idea of a hard reset as I have many things on my phones, not all of which is sync'd to the cloud so it's a task to back things up appropriate. Specifically regarding "encrypted" apps like my password keeper app etc.
It would be great if there was a software application that allowed you to backup whatever is necessary to not lose data, then wipe the phone and instead of just simply restoring the full phone (which is likely to create the same problem one had before the hard reset), you could simply dump back in app data as needed. It would also help diagnose if the problem lies in a specific app's data.
High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.
I've been experiencing an issue since the Pie update. My home page is google.com. I scroll down to the settings at the bottom (I'm signed out) and under search history, I check off "Do not save searches". This randomly changes itself back to the default settings. Nothing seems to trigger it. Sometimes it will be the next time I open the browser, sometimes it will be after a few uses. Sometimes it will even show recent searches, and I go back to the settings and "Do not save searches" is STILL checked off. Most times it's checked "Save searches" though.
I've tried logging into my google account, and doing it that way. Recent search history is paused, but I still experience the issue where when I click the search bar, it shows my recent searches. This isn't 100% of the time, but at least 50% of the time anyway. It's annoying. I've already searched that stuff, I don't need to search it again. I've cleared the cache for the app, the data, etc. Nothing seems to be permanently make these settings stick. Anyone else experiencing this? I swear I had this problem in the past, and there was a fix for it, but everything I've come up with so far tells me to either log into my google account and freeze search history, or just disable it using the method I'm using. If anyone can steer me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.
Thanks
