All,
I have read and experienced force closes when updating to this latest version 42.0.2311.129.
I have experienced force closes without error messages for a few apps after the update. Uninstalling and re-installing does not resolve the issue!
After reading some others who experience this as well I advise you all not to update this TURD !
After I uninstalled this update all my apps started working correctly again.
Its nothing more that Chrome without the shell.
Does anyone know if this can be permanently removed ?
Thanks in Advance
Update 4/25/2015 - as per suggested below you can use TB to freeze this nugget as so it wont update.
Update 4/30/2015 - You can get the latest release of this app here:

Thanks for the tip and the guys over on Fluent. Just froze it it TiBU. Went to Play and is was locked and loaded to update.
I wasn't having issues until the latest update a couple days ago. Now I've noticed my reddit client crops out all the time and several other apps close without error
Ahhh.. so is this fricking thing the reason most of my apps are closing lately??
I was just about to post seeing if anyone else has recently had problems with a lot of apps (Kik not letting keyboard open, tweetcaster, ES file explorer, my MZW app, and a couple others all just force closing right after I select them).
So is it this thing causing this? I have never seen this app until recently, maybe after the 5.0 update. Anyone getting solutions to work, this is very, very frustrating!! Just started about a week or so ago. What does this app even do?

Yes, I had issues with KIK, but clearing the cache seemed to do the trick with launching the keyboard. Cant say other than my experience.
My FitnessPal opened then closed. I tried uninstalling it, and re-installing it, to no avail. Only after I uninstalled that abomination did the app start to work correct. I cant say how many apps this thing is crashing, but after seeing the similar negative reviews on the playstore, I am convinced this is not limited to M8.
There are some fanboys of Google of this app raving about how it changed their life and they are not single b/c of it anymore, others saying its your phone, and to wipe you phone but you DO NOT have to wipe or reset your phone, just roll back the app should be good enough, if you are rooted use TB to freeze it.
I have not tried to remove it completely yet which is what i want to do eventually.
yeah.. I think it's a running joke type of thing to leave over the top, ridiculous silly comments about it on the play store. Do not know where or why that started but it detracts from the reality that this thing sucks! I unistalled the update, froze it with TI backup, restarted the phone and all my apps that were affected by (Tweetcaster, ES file explorer, my VZW, and probably others but those are the main ones I know of for sure) now work 100 %. It was definitely this app that was affecting them for some reason.
As far as Kik goes, not sure, I deleted the app, re-installed it, cleared everything, tried different keyboards, and nothing seems to fix the keyboard not popping up. If I click the + sign like to add an attachment, then back, it brings the keyboard up no problem. Hopefully an update to that app will fix it soon.
Here is a flashable.zip of the latest working version before this latest atrocity, in-case anyone needs it.
I couldn't even type in the stock HTC messaging.apk along with many other apps not working, with the new update. Once re-storing to this older version all my apps and everything is back to normal.
Google is much better than this.
I really don't understand how people can leave a comment in PlayStore saying this update is anything but horrible.

These crashes have been driving me nuts. What I'm confused about is that all of the apkmirror webview updates say they are for Lollipop API 21... I'm having identical issues on 4.4.4 CleanROM. When I first found people saying it was a webview issue I looked through system apps and there is no webview to be found so now I'm at a loss on how to fix it

Hi guys, I was installing titanium backup the other day, and somehow after the download it got stuck @ installing. I tried restarting my phone, force closing the market app and reopening it but whatever i do it still comes out as 'installing' after it opens. Does anyone know how to fix this? btw im on nordic 2.1 rooted.
Thanks in adv.
(Ive tried going into the market app and clearing the cache, but it didnt help, also i had no 'uninstall updates button both in the market app and market updater app)
Yeah, I've noticed a number of my Market downloads (mostly app updates) tend to get stuck at "Installing". Usually at some point thereafter, the Market app will crash and reload, and things tend to startup sometime after that.
I haven't had any apps get completely stuck like you describe though.
Hm thanks, guess i'll keep waiting till it clears itself :x
hey I'm actually happening the same problem. did you ever figure it out?
Yeah the 2.1 Market seems a lot more flaky than the 1.6. I get a lot of stuck downloads and force closing. (Mostly when I use the Update All function)
ive had a similar problem before. i went into settings > applications > manage applications > market, then chose the options to clear cache and uninstall updates. restarted phone. ran market app, accepted terms n conditions again n all was well.. hope it helps
P.s - jus read your other bit on first post, dont have nordic 2.1 so cant really say, plus in my application settings i have only market, theres no market updater that i can see at mo

Well i was on nordic, then on global and now on rogers and I had all kind of Problem with the Market, not downloading, force closing/restarting, not installing ect...
I don't think it's related to the firmware since my experience.
Now it doesn't want to finish installing updates or stuff I downloaded from the market and when I try to install, Market force close and restart.
I post about it yesterday

Have you by chance been deleting google talk? Without google talk the market encounters all sorts of wonky errors.

Yeah, I actually ran into a problem after my previous flash (and then again when I re-flashed today) that when installing or updating an app from the market once it was downloaded and the install actually started, the Market would FC. As such, I couldn't install apps from the market.
I fixed it with the same process, and both times it has corrected the problem and made the market work reliably.

I did in the nordic version and it actually causes the downloads to be "active" but actually not downloading.
I was encountering a different problem but got it resolved by uninstalling the market updates.
I guess one of market's update Is not very stable
I just recently got the android market update to 3.3.11 and when i try to update apps or view my apps i get a fc. Just wondering if any one is having similar problems, and if there is a work around?

I'm assuming you've tried to clear data and force close market from settings -> applications?
I got the Market update this morning too and I have not had any problems.
I'm having the same problem... I posted about it twice in the Prime thread to no avail. I have cleared the Market data and also the apps data that I have had problems updating.
It's only select apps (google apps?) that seems to force close the market when trying to update them.
what phone is it? im kinda lost here...im new to this form and would like some help.
.
Yeah, i cleared the data and cache, i even did a full system wipe to try a solve but no dice. Hopefully an update is forth coming that will solve this, kinda a pain not being able to update apps.
Cold boot fixed it for me when I updated to the latest firmware
i assume you did not read the info before installed right?
it's said that 3.3.11 is not working perfectly on Honeycomb tablet's
but now you now

I assume you know that this was pushed silently and we had no choice, right?
Now you know.
I also have some problems with the new Market app. However, it seems to only force close when I select specific paid apps under My Apps. One of those apps received an update, which it luckily installed automatically, and now I can select that app again without a problem. Maybe the Market crashed on certain permission settings that they changed or something. Just an idea.
Btw, it has been tried by gnufabio to put back the previous version of the Market, but that didn't work because of how the apk's are signed or something (correct me if I'm wrong!).
Hey Guys!
After I got the recent firmware update my market crashes everytime i try to access my apps in market.

Thanks!

Please let us know if this fixes the issue.
I have tried that, it doesn't to anything.

Try this, Settings>Language & input>Choose English (United States)
Just did, tried to change from Canada to US. No luck. Very odd. I get FC after it tried to load up my apps.

Not sure what else you can try. Another thing I can suggest is clear data for Google services framework. Good luck
Also are you rooted? What version market are you on now?
Try this version if you're not already on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329262&highlight=market
Last thing to do is wipe data and start clean.
Tried, no cigar. That is the version that is giving me grief. Very odd. it FC and gives me the process com.android.vending stopped working.
Maybe the only thing left is to do a full factory reset. Very stupid.
No mine is not rooted. Thanks for the help
FIXED! It was a bad version of Documents to go... Deleted and it allowed me to get back into my apps in market. Interesting
That seems odd but at least you're fixed

I'm having the same problem now. Clearing data on market and android framework followed by restarting the tablet fixed the issue temporarily only for it to happen again after a short while.
Also noticed other performance related issues, force closes, lock ups, etc. Also resulting in the same error message as the market app issue - process com.android.vending has stopped working.
Only had these issues since the most recent update from Asus.
I'm having the same issue, I go into the market, everything is good till I try and go to my installed apps. Then f/c everytime. Very annoying. I do not have documents to go. Will have to try and hard reset it when I get home tonight. Son of a *****.
Just reading this thread.... the issue isn't isolated to the transformer.... my xoom same prob, and solution....
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Thanks for the heads up, hard resetting didn't do a damn thing. Same errors. Google Music launch equals market crash? Maybe?
All right guys I need some input here....
I cleared market cash and data, reverted to older market, removed sd card, remounted sd card, rooted and installed prime then revolver, tried installing the newest market apk to no avail. Called google to see what was going on with my account, they said it was fine and it was the hardware. I put my fiance's account info on my tablet and it downloads famously. Factory restored and put my account back on and I get "download unsuccessful, please try again" every time on updates and app downloads.
Using my account I can go to market.android.com on a pc and push the application/update to my device and it works fine. This is a pain in the ass to do all of the time though. Can anyone help before I start using this thing for a coaster?
P.S. The market on my thunderbolt and HD 2 work fine.
**UPDATE**I just left it alone for a couple hours out of frustration and it works fine now. Must have been on google's side with the big market makeover.
I have a HTC One m8, unrooted, running Android 5.01, Sense 6.0 on Verizon. A couple days ago, apps just started closing the second I open them. Some apps/games work fine while others just won't start. ChompSMS, TriviaCrack and Facebook are the main ones I'm having issues with. I cannot use Chomp or TriviaCrack at all, while Facebook will open, but sometimes it will close a few secons later, and sometimes I can scroll down for a minute or two and then it closes.
I have plenty of free space and ram on my device so I wouldn't think that is the issue. I also have not installed any new apps in the last few days so it's not a new app causing problems. I have been looking for solutions and while I have found a few other posts on other forums about people having the same problem, I have not found any solutions. The interesting thing I have found that everyone with the issue has in common, is that we are all on Verizon. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the problem apps to no avail. Anyone know what is going on? Thanks in advance!
It's probably the Android System Webview issue that's been going around. It's an app you already had and an update something like a week ago is causing all kinds of FC problems. Go find it, uninstall updates and turn off automatic updates in the play store. You'll probably be in business.
Yep
I figured it out shortly after posting. Now my question what exactly does webview do? I uninstalled the updates....should I just disable it as well?
Whatever it does it doesn't seem to hurt anything short of the last update. I saw the warnings in time and have simply been putting off the update in play store until I see that a newer update doesn't cause problems.
I came across this Google plus page discussing the latest Webview issues. The Webview engineer is reaching out for feedback on the M8
The problem appears to be fixed now, I just updated and all my apps are working as they should.
I posted this originally on here and there are a million separate posts that sprung up after lol
I posted an update that should resolve the issue:

Hello,
Please help! I have a HTC U11+ with Android 9. For some reason I cannot open the settings app or by tapping the gear icon. I have performed a factory reset by using the power + up during boot but it's not made a difference.
I have noticed if I uninstall Google or updates it starts working again. I don't know if this is an issue with a recent update but it's causing some big issues. Can anyone offer any advice how to resolve the issue or some alternative?
Kindest regards,
Nick
Hi Nick, I have the exact same issue on HTC U12+
I tried booting in safe mode, but also that didn't make a difference.
Uninstalling google also fixes the issue for me, I think I'll report it to google. It's highly doubtful we can get any support from HTC. I just want to hang in there till the pixel 8 is released, didn't think HTC would throw us this curveball
edit: looks like the google app is getting a lot of 1 star reviews recently. For some people the app itself stopped working completely. Interesting. Perhaps we can also just install a "good" version by downloading a verified APK. Then you can disable individual update for the google app. Not ideal though, but a worst case scenario fix maybe. At least we won't be stuck with the 2019-ish version of google that way
I, too, had the same issues where the Settings app (and alll related functions) would crash. After about an hour of freaking out (I was at Disneyland when I discovered this and had no access to tools or a computer), I figured out it was the stupid Google app that caused the issue... just like what was already reported above.
After trial and error, the last "good" version of the Google app that still worked is 14.15.25.28.arm64. You can grab this from APK Mirror.
Thank you for your replies.
Sounds like it's an issue with the latest Google app update which I think is 14.17. Installed 14.15 as per your suggestion and that seems to work fine. Thanks again.
This mproblem now seems to have resolved itself, not sure if Google or htc fixed it but works fine now without needing to uninstall Google Updates
Thanks for the reply. Yes, mines also been resolved since the Google app version is now 14.17.34.28. Don't think HTC are doing any kind of support/updates nowadays
