Help! Google Play Newsstand and Google Now crash after launching

I'm running stock Android 4.1.2 on an international version GT-P6800 (purchased in Thailand).
I've been subscribed to a magazine for months now. But with today's replacement (Play Magazines => Play Newsstand), the Google Play Newsstand app crashes immediately on launch. Same story for the updated version of Google Now (released over the past week).
Due to increased sluggishness of my tablet, I decided to backup data and do a factory reset. So all these problems are occurring on a "fresh" OS install. (So no significant app caches, etc.)
Newsstand and Google Now/Search are both working fine on my ASUS tablet, so these problems are definitely specific to this hardware/OS version.
Is anyone else having either or both problems? Ideas?
P.S. This is really making me more inclined to finally root my tablet and install the most stable custom ROM available.

Just tried Newsstand an I too am having issues, also been having issues with Google Now . I started a thread regarding that issue as well. Really getting frustrated

The problem is almost certainly caused by Samsung modifications to Jelly Bean. My other Android devices don't have any such problems.
I posted a message about my solution in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529929

Finally found easy fix!
Uninstall the update & revert back to factory app. Stupid updates just screw everything up! It was ridiculous!

What I don't understand is that my wife's Note I I was able to update both apps with no issues, her phone is running JB 4.1.2

Were is the widget? This seems to be a flipboard take over so google needs widget.

I know I'm not the only one with this issue, anybody have an any ideas as to why Google search no longer works, even after new updates. On My wife's Note II she gets all the updates with no issue, she is also running 4.1.2. This is really pissing me off.

It's been about 4 updates since problem started, I don't think Google is aware of it otherwise it would have been solved

The problem is almost certainly Samsung 's work in modifying Android for our tablet model. There are no widespread complaints for other Android devices. And as I said when you started this thread: once I rooted the tablet and flashed Cyanogenmod, the problem became a far-off memory. That's the beauty of the Android community. My tablet can do more things now. And I don't have to think about whether Samsung cares about me.
What did I learn?That if I wanted a 7"tablet today, I would get the Nexus 7. I got a Nexus 4 phone when Google dropped the price. I rooted it in 15 minutes. And Kit Kat is available for it already.

How can you recommend using Cyonogen when all of these issues are present?
1. Inherent from CM10.1
　　- Wifi-tethering, hdmi, Incall screen landscape, etc.
2. Bluetooh not working
　　- Need to see if the mojo in cm10.1 works here. (Lots of works...)
3. Camera not working yet
　　- Both camera can preview, Autio focus is OK for back camera. Can't save the photo...
　　 (Seems bugs in framework_av cause it)
4. The default orientation of lockscreen is lanscape.
　　- not respond to rotation lock. Workaround: set only one angle in settings and enable rotation.
5. Screen rotation or rapid refresh cause transient noices. (Seems the new opengl issue, will try the new r3p2 mali driver later)
Unless you have a different version where everything works as it should.
Don't get mad, just pointing out the flaws of your suggestion.
Also my wife's Note II does not have this issue so I don't think it is a Samsung issue, then again I might be wrong.

First off, I want you to know I am not angry; I am just realistic. Samsung released the GT-P6800 as part of their typical tactic: they offered tablets in every possible size:
7", 7.7 with AMOLED, 8.9, 10.1.
Then they waited to see what the market wanted. Our model's AMOLED display was an expensive (but excellent) component. When the smoke cleared, Samsung followed the market's signal. They never released a follow-up and decided on the Note series as a better product family. We are never going to get Samsung's attention. Between your experience, your wife's and mine, we know that the crashing apps only happen on the 7.7. So there is a combination of Samsung OS and hardware that causes the problem. For the reasons I just cited, Samsung IS NOT GOING TO OFFER FIXES OR PATCHES.
You've done a great job listing possible reasons why someone would not do what I did. (To root and flash a new ROM.)
So let me respond directly to your points.

It's because of my priorities: I care deeply about reading on my tablet. That includes my subscription to The New Yorker magazine (via Newsstand) and PressReader for a variety of global newspapers. If I can't read what I want, I have to find a solution. You complained about Newsstand, so I told you how to get Newsstand working.
Another fringe benefit: I can get rid of the crap Samsung put in the firmware: Social Hub, Readers Hub, widgets, old PressReader, old Pulse, etc.

I can confirm this does not work. If Samsung would release their WiFi drivers to the development community this problem could be fixed. (If Samsung is too busy with more profitable products, they should let the customers fix the problem, no?)

HDMI
A direct physical HDMI connection is a pretty clumsy way of communicating with a TV. I'd rather use XBMC, DLNA, or one of the streaming boxes and "cast" the content to the TV across my network. Who needs to run a cable across the living room or bedroom between TV and tablet?

Unfortunately if Samsung won't release all the drivers to the development community, it's unlikely that there will ever be a fully functional alternative ROM for the GT-P6800.

I think you listed the issues of CM 11 , and he's using CM 10.X
By the way I got same problem after updating those two apps. So I just uninstalled updates.
I'm still giving the stock ROM some time , as I own this tablet from only 2 months..but I think I'm gonna move to Cyanogenmod in time, its not only Samsung thing, all stock Roms from all brands I've tested get laggy after few months..:| , even with pure android on nexues 7 , this thing I've never seen with Apple tho they still power their flagship devices with Dual Core, and 1 GB Ram.!

Don't fill up the whole of your internal sdcard and fstrim (JB only) your partitions once a week or on boot. Also, improve android LMK & min frees with V6SuperCharger, or CrossBreeder etc. This may help, but involves some reading on your part.
Apple don't fill their device with as many useful features (or bloatware), which would require greater hardware capacity. There's no comparison.

Swiftkey on z3???

Is anyone else having issues with swiftkey on the z3? I imagine the z3 isnt at fault and its a problem with the app but in saying that, I have had swiftkey for over two years and it worked flawlessly. Ever since i started using it on the z3 iam getting bad lag and nothing but problems with it to the point its not useable! To be fair the stock keyboard isnt bad but iam used to swiftkey and love it so just curious if anyone else has this problem? Wether or not its an issue with the z3 or swiftkey ?

Swiftkey works ok on mine, but lagged badly on my HTC One M8. This is definitely an app problem. Interestingly, it was lagging on iphone as well.

But if its a problem with the app then why are you experiencing no issues? lol Seems strange, especially as it worked so flawlessly for me for two years almost on 2 samsung devices and a htc one

I just realised i enabled emoji predictions recently! Wonder if this is causing it! I shall turn it off and find out i guess Fingers crossed ha

I'm having 'issues' with SwiftKey as well, for me I seem to get random intervals where I get double or tripled up sounds from key presses, in addition to extra vibrations which absolutely pisses me off no end. I had this issue with my M8 as well, one of the reasons why I bailed on it early. I'm assuming that it only seems to happen to phones with stereo speakers? As is the case with the Z3 and the M8.
But yes, SwiftKey doesn't seem quite as fluid as it was on my Nexus 5.

For me,It was fine all along, Flawless in fact! Lately however when i type it will randomly just start lagging really bad and sometimes freeze. Within 4/5 seconds its fine again and works fine for another minute or two before it happens again! I never had emoji predictions enabled before though and i did on the z3 so i have disabled them now.Hopefully it helps! I cant say yet cause i have been away from the phone since disabling them!!

For anyone that may be wondering btw! Swiftkey seems fine again since disabling emoji predictions Havent had any lag or freeze issues since so happy days

Yep! I have this too. I rely on SwiftKey as I speak more than one language and the native keyboard Fovant allow for two dictionaries. I hope it gets sorted.

I have had random lag issues lately on my previous phone (xperia Z) , I don't remember whether it happened as a result of some firmware update. But it was severe, it became unusable.
However, since I started using the app on the new Z3 (a week ago) it works flawlessly, even with the emoji activated.

I'm using SwiftKey beta and is working completely fine!
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app

Iam still getting a little lag from time to time but not as bad as it was when i had emoji predictions on! Its at least useable now but frustrating still given that is was flawless on all my previous phones

I'm using SwiftKey as my main keyboard... It's working very well... No issue here.

Wonder why its only affecting some people so . . . . . . .

Using SwiftKey as well and no lag at all. Emoji is enabled.

no issues here either

Downloaded Beta 5.2 and all my problems have gone away

Alot of people saying the beta version works fine .I have the paid version and like i said, flawless for the past 2 years but lately its been laggy every few seconds when typing! A real annoyance but hopefully its an easy fix and theres an update soon :

Its happening on my G2 as well occasionally while typing nothing shows and then when I zoom out suddenly all the missed words show up. I'm sure the issue must be from SwiftKey.

I stand corrected on my previous comment. The beta version is faster no doubt, but the odd double sound/weird vibration issue is present still... just not as much.

My wife's z3 compact with SwiftKey is very laggy.
It is ok when I clear all the user data cache etc... but the whole point of SwiftKey is for it to predict according to your uses of the keyboard, so clearing the Cache is not a solution.
It seems SwiftKey are not doing anything (quickly) about this memory bug.

Having a major issue since 5.1.1 update

i have a t-mobile galaxy s6 completely stock and since the 5.1.1 update i cant listen to music or podcasts for more than roughly 10 minutes without the app closing on its own. i've tried searching for other people having this problem but i havn't found anything. maybe i was wording my search wrong. but can someone steer me in the right direction to fix the problem before i trade in this phone.
Update: it was an auto stop setting in the battery management section. I guess after the update it selected all apps to auto stop. All is good again.

try to factory reset your phone....but remember it will delete everything...so backup....

It is the crappy memory management that samsung has implemented. Go thank them

Not sure this is a memory management problem. My music has NEVER shut off by itself. Doesn't playing music use the mediaserver anyway, which is a part of the OS? Which apps are you using for music/podcasts?

It only happening on 5.1.1? It might be some apps not working property with 5.1.1 only I guess.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
Buy this app and freeze all unused and unwanted apps(including system apps) and this will let you free up lots of memory. It doesn't require root and only works for Samsung phones but I'm not sure if it still works on 5.1.1(5.0.2 it works fine).

That has nothing to do with ram management ... Because the same problem was on 5.0.2 andaybe t-mobile messed something up ...

ALL IS FIXED! In the battery management section there is a function to auto stop apps after 10 minutes of the screen being off. I guess after the update it selected all apps to be auto stopped. I will go back to loving my phone lol

Keyboard lag input?

Am I the only one that is experiencing very noticeable lag while typing on the keyboard? Tried even with Swiftkey and google keyboard, the lag persist.
The phone is brand new and I have an empty sd card inside, but even without it lag.. Even the vibration feedback lag.

UP

Mine has been fine and I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue.
Maybe a faulty unit?

I read an article that it's because the phones nowdays have cpu scaling so they aren't eating up all the battery. When you're not using your phone, the cpu kinda hibernates, but if you start typing, it speeds up, then slows down when you pause, then speeds up again. And it takes a tiny bit for it to fully speed up, so the lag comes from the cpu scaling.

Edit: Also lags on Google keyboard and stock.

The swipe trail on Google Keyboard is laggy too. This sucks.

I was having a lag issue with my keyboard too not long after I got my S7. Not sure what caused it, but doing a factory reset fixed it. Have you tried that?

I haven't tried that, would rather avoid a factory reset. Google keyboard seems much better after I turned off swipe trail.

Is anyone else is experiencing camera lag when opening the camera app. It's so annoying and I'm curious to find out if anyone else has this issue and if there's a fix for it? I'm with Verizon if that makes any difference.. Thanks everyone!

Okay. So I probably should keep this phone... I'm actually waiting on HTC to send me a return email so I can get a new phone. I wasn't sure if it's a common occurrence in other U 11's. Even with a new U 11 the camera would probably still lag..

Sorry, I misunderstood. Are you talking about squeezing to take pictures, or pressing the on-screen button to take pictures? The squeeze has a delay, someone said it's because they want to avoid the motion caused by the squeeze before taking the picture. For the on-screen button, I don't see much of a lag.

Me two but it's less with the newer update

The update supposedly fixing the problem is 1.16, as reported here and in the following posts, not 1.13. It's not available in many regions yet.

Is HDR on? That will cause lag. Google it for an explanation.

I'm on 1.16 with my HK U11 and after that patch the camera is now much faster but I've no idea why they push the OTA lately to the America regional.

#121 and #122 said US got 1.16 update now including Verizon carrier.

1.16 on my stock U11 has totally killed the lag.
I'll likely update my rooted one once the firmware is available from the US update. The camera app is the same build FWIW

I'm also experiencing lag in the viewfinder. It's not all of the time, but occasionally when I fire up the camera the viewfinder stutters so much I can't see what I'm taking a picture of. The photos take, but it is incredibly frustrating. I'm on Verizon and this didn't seem to get fixed with the last update (.16).
