Google Now/Search Issue Lollipop 5.1 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else experienced issues with Google Now/Search after updating? When I attempt to search using Google Now, or the Google Search bar on the home screen the results will show up, but then the phone freezes. I have to reboot the phone as none of the buttons are responsive.
I am currently running the 5.1 factory image. I have cleared cache from recovery (TWRP), cleared the cache & data for Google Search from the apps section, as well as uninstalled & reinstalled the update in the Play Store. The last method of troubleshooting I used was to boot the phone into safe mode, but the issue remained.

Nope. Working flawlessly here. Try flashing the factory image again or better yet, flash a custom ROM & try.

[Q] Issues after upgrading to LMY47I

Hi All,
I did an upgrade to 5.1 (LMY47I) on my Nexus 5 and started facing some strange issues and have no clue on how to resolve them. Before the upgrade I had the following config:
Recovery: TWRP
Root status: Rooted
ROM: Stock 5.0 LRX22C
I used following method for the upgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...e-update-rooted-device-to-5-1-lmy47d-t3050789
It was successful but post that I came across few issues as below:
1. Power button functionality was erratic. Sometimes it would lock my mobile but at other times it was locking and waking up my phone immediately. At times "Power Off" popup was also showing up. While I tried to figure out reason for that, trying power button multiple times, my phone rebooted and started the "Optimising Apps" sequence once again. It happened again a couple of times and so I decided to try out factory reset (since I hadn't done that after upgrading).
2. I did a factory rest from Settings. After factory reset, apps and other settings were gone but I noticed that user data in the storage was intact. I guess that also gets removed on a factory reset. Am I wrong on this one?
3. I wanted to install Cerberus as a system app and so I downloaded its zip from the website and flashed using recovery. I was surprised to see that the app wasn't showing after booting up. I tried couple of times more but got no success. So, I decided to install it from Play store and convert to system app using Link2SD. When I tried doing that, Link2SD gave me an error saying "/system: not enough storage space". I tried converting few other apps but got same error. Any thoughts on what could be going on here?
Thanks,
Anurag

1- Possibly hardware (power key) issue
2- Factory reset from Android OS *should* erase all user data.
3- Its just that, /system does not have enough free space to put more apps in there. Common issue after Lollipop. Remove some other app from /system, such as Maps, for example, to free up some more space. Be reminded that once you start messing with /system, this will (or might) cause issues with OTA updates.
So I managed to tackle (or at least figured the reason) for all the issues I was having:
1- Yes, there is some issue with the power key. ? But the other issue of optimising apps loop was because I did not do a clean install which disappeared when I did the factory reset after that.
2- After doing some reading on the Internet, I came to know that stock recovery cleans the user data but twrp doesn't by default. Since I had twrp, it just removed apps and settings but retained other data. In order to do a clean install I flashed stock LMY47I again including recovery, userdata etc. (used flash-all.bat). This removed everything from storage and made my phone as good as a new one (software wise).
3- Yes, it was the issue with storage space and was a surprise for me. Thanks for clarifying on that. Before I did a clean install, I tried removing couple of system apps and was able to install cerberus after that via recovery too. However, clean install solved everything.. ☺

[Q] Bricked LS980. What Next?

Hey all,
I've been running Pac-ROM 4.4.4 for quite a while with hardly any issues, but I recently noticed some touch errors such as the home button and task button activate simultaneously when I only press one button. It sometimes takes a few taps before only the home button is registered. Also on the right side of the screen I can't pull down the notifications bar; that only works in the middle-left of the screen. Because of this, I decided to upgrade my ROM to the newest beta version of Pac-ROM lollipop.
Now my issue: the new ROM had issues with google store and services. Instantly upon booting up, youtube kept spamming my screen saying it couldn't run. I also had notifications for google play store, so I uninstalled both youtube and the play store (after clearing cache for a simpler fix). That got rid of the pop-ups, but I still couldn't access my google account. I browsed some threads and they suggested to remove my google account and clear cache for google services. This didn't fix the problem so I decided to flash back to the stable 4.4.4 and reinstall the apps I removed.
Here is where I foolishly realized I never updated my gapps to 5.x.x. Being too late, I thought I'd just flash the gapps and lollipop rom after getting things back to normal in 4.4.4. Unfortunately, I was never able to boot after flashing 4.4.4.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop, do not have debugging enabled thanks to the update (so I can't use adb), my recovery won't boot using power + vol down, and my computer doesn't even recognize my phone when using LG mobile support tool.
Other things that may help:
LG G2 ls980zve
TWRP 2.8.x.x
cannot access adb or fastboot
cannot access recovery
cannot turn on phone
updated lg drivers as of today, but computer doesn't recognize my device in device manager
followed these threads but couldn't resolve the issue:

Ask if I forgot to mention anything crucial.
Good luck figuring this out

Here's a guide that can help you.
i am sure that there's guides here on xda too.
That guide was essentially the same as the two links I referred to except one thing... It reminded me to reboot the computer after installing drivers! HAHA. Now it worked smoothly.
Such a simple fix, thanks!

Can't refresh the new Google app [Sultan's ROM]

My OPO is rooted with a clean install of Sultan's ROM.
With the latest update to the Google app, I can't seem to force refresh the Google Now page by swiping down. Nothing happens. Tried clearing app cache and rebooting phone but it didn't fix it.
Anyone encountered this?

April 2016 CM13 update - soft brick - Google Play lockscreen error

Hi - My OnePlus One is the one I purchased from OnePlus One - with all the over the air upgrades.
The most recent was the April 2016 CM13 marshmallow upgrade - but this causes a permanent Google Play Services error - which freezes the screen (soft brick) - right after any reboot.
I'm considering doing a factory reset - (I understand that the process is to hold the volume button down while rebooting?) - but I wanted to check if there were other, better options for fixing this?
Thanks!
I am having the same issue..
after every boot up it gets stucked at lockscreen and doesnt allow me to do anything.... after 2-3 minutes gets automatically restarted..
Please Help
So, i own an OPO, stock, running COS 13 ( received update a few days ago). No ROOT, no Bootloader unlocked.
Today, early in the morning (My local time) I restarted my OPO because my Google Fit was not able to record my activity. After the reboot, i tried to unlock my phone, but it got STUCK. Freeze if you will.
I tried from Cyanogen Recovery to Wipe Cache, it did not worked.
I tried from Cyanogen Recovery to Wipe Data, it did not worked.
i do not the reason for wipping not working but i was scared. Because whenever a tried to boot into system, I was stuck at lockscreen
I tried to perform a wipe from adb, but adb shell was printing a "error closed". So i got scared .
I thought that i could fix my issue by performing a Wipe...
I Download the OPO toolkit. Put my device into fastboot, and unlocked my bootloader ( yes i void my warranty). After that, the toolkit installed the TWRP ( Custom Recovery ) with just one click.
Then i boot into recovery and perform a wipe. Phone was no longer stuck at lockscreen (actually i lost all data)
After that, my phone has been working great. (more than 12 hours from the issue)
Good luck mate.!
Hi all,
Having the same problem, I'm inquiring me about a way to fetch data from the devices. Is there any way to pull data from an encrypted device?
Also had the lockscreen error after the update.
I did:
Wipe Cache,Dalvik, System but not Data
Install Full Rom (COS 13)
Install SuperSU Beta
Reboot
wipe cache/dalvik/system, not data
Afterwards i could login but play services crashed every second. Then I allowed play services all rights again in privacy settings.
Rebooted and i could not get past lockscreen any more.
I restored my last backup, updated all apps, allowed all google apps without restrictions in privacy, cleared their caches.
Disabled lockscreen.
Restarted and updated as above but did not Install SuperSu beta directly.
System booted fine. Then I installed SuperSu beta again. Still no problems
Hope this helps or gives some hints on the cause.

Play Store stuck on downloading or download pending...

Hi,
I need help, cuz I'm already getting furious when I think about it. Yesterday I decided to try the new update 9.0.8 and after I clicked restart something f*cked up and it was stuck in fastboot mode. I got it back to working state with HighOnAndroid tutorial on YouTube. But, there's this problem which makes make angry.
After installing some of the apps during the finalizing configuration process, it gets stuck and nothing helps. I literally say, NOTHING. Tried all the tutorials and troubleshooting steps such as:
- clear data/cache of Play Store/Download Manager/Play Services and reboot phone
- get back to stock play store app, same happens, it just updates itself
- tried installing the newest Play Store APK from APKMirror
- factory reset
The only way to download an app is to reboot the phone. Then it downloads and the same s*it happens again. I'm tired, can you guys help me?
Anything?
