So I've been running a couple of Marshmallow ROMs for a few days, so far it's been mostly great. However, notifications for Hangouts are severely delayed or nonexistent to the point where hangouts is just useless. Never had this problem before Marshmallow., it's happened on the two 6.0 ROMs I tried. Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to fix it? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Experienced the same, what helped was clearing app data and cache and logging back in.
At least i can say that i worked for me though. You may give it a try cause you wont lose anything cause it's saved serverside
This is due to doze, go to settings > apps > settings icon > battery optimization > all apps, select dont optimize for apps that have this issue.
Also JFYI questions go in the Q&A section, not general section. I reported this thread so a mod should move it but just a heads up for next time.
No this is not due to doze.
Works as intended WITH doze enabled.
@erickdj did you restore Hangouts with Titanium Backup?
If so, this is the reason.
It's a known problem if Hangouts was installed as System App. Don't install Hangouts with your GApps Package. If using Open GApps, simply choose pico or nano packages and install the needed Google Applications via Play Store, or exclude Hangouts from Installation via gapps-config.txt.

[Android 5.1] Hangout constantly crashes on launch. + "Google Apps has stopped"
I upgraded to 5.1 on Monday by flashing the factory image. After the first boot and flashing root/recovery etc, I checked everything is running smooth and rebooted the device once more. Ever since then, Google Hangout crashes every time I try to open it; with this error -
Unfortunately, Hangouts has stopped.

I cleaned its cache, cleared data, uninstalled updates, updated from play store.
I cleaned all system cache from Settings > Device > Storage.
I cleaned Dalvik-cache and cache partition by going to recovry.
Nothing seems to fix it. It still crashes with the same error. From time to time, I'm also getting this error -
Unfortunately, Google Apps has stopped.

But all other Google apps are working fine. Anyone else having this issue?
Hangout - 3.0.87531466
Play Services - 7.0.93 (1778921-438)
===============================================
UPDATE -
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION​
After spending 2 entire days on it and flashing the 5.1 factory images 3 times, I found out that it was being caused by LBE Security Master's Active Defense mode. This is like a live AppOps. It grants/denies permissions to apps at run time. Even though I had given full permission to Hangout, it was still crashing for unknown reasons. But after I disabled the active defense mode and rebooted the device, everything is running fine now.
So, if you are using any permission control app like LBE or AppOps, try disabling that and reboot your device. Yes, reboot is necessary. Just disabling doesn't fix it.

I had that version after flashing the 5.1 factory image. I guess Google pushed that to my device. It's not sideloaded.

That is strange. I have the same version of Hangouts, but my updated version of Play Services is 6.7.76 (1745988-438).

I am having the same issue with hangouts. I've taken the same steps to try to fix it.
As part of troubleshooting, I momentarily disabled hangoouts via app settings, then I started to see the "Google App" error. After re-enabling I didn't see this error anymore.
I have not tried removing hangouts completely, as it seems this would break other things.
Any possible solutions?
EDIT: The Google App error is actually persisting.
My issue is hangouts keeps getting killed by the Low memory killer even though I have 1gb free ram.
I did some monitoring, hangouts Noe has to run its own process that I've never seen before and after a minute it caches itself, and I guess the cache is dumped later since I haven't opened hangouts in 5 minutes, I have to restart the app every time I need to use it. I also don't receive any messages during that time because the app has been killed. Any ideas?

Actually I'm using LBE as well and I suspected that it could have been the cause, and as you experienced, I removed all restrictions from the hangouts app and the problem still persisted.
My theory now is that a restriction that we've set on another app (or apps) is indirectly causing this issue with hangouts.
Does anyone know specifically which system apps could be connected to the functionality of Hangouts?
UPDATE: I've disabled restrictions on Youtube, Calendar, and Drive. This appears to have solved the problem.
Hangouts is working normally thus far and I haven't seen any error messages. Will update if things change.
I have a feeling that it's Drive.
What s
Is LBE? I'm stock phone sideloafed 5.1 and I have actually disabled hangout prior to upgrade now getting this error
Lee
Google play services "keep awake" disabled could cause it
I let all my apps keep awake in app ops and so on, but still have an issue with hangouts. It gets killed by system 5-10 minutes of not using it even if I leave it in background
2nd Update:
The problem is persisting again... my hypothesis has been disproved.
Any other suggestions or discoveries would be appreciated. I'm trying to find a way to fix Hangouts while keeping privacy settings in place as much as possible...
If XPrivacy was working for Android 5.0+ this issue would disappear.
I re enabled hangouts and updated it and not had the issue since
Play Service 7.0.96 from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/
Hangouts (+LBE) works fine by 5.1
Nexus 5 32GB, Android 5.01
Hangouts crashes occasionally for me also, and I don't have LBE or anything. I sideloaded 5.1 via nrt but my play services still says 6.7.76. Is that going to be a problem? Won't it just update itself eventually? Does the image not contain play services?
(I have the N6 but I thought the issue would still be relevant)
I had a similar issue, so I rolled back hangouts to 2.5x and it's working fine now, YMMV. of course this may not be a viable solution to you but a working older version is better than a non-usable latest version.
Cheers!
Well, the only thing I can think of, in my circumstances, is that I had hangouts disabled when I updated to 5.1 (I don't use it). So yesterday I enabled it, cleared data, and disabled it again, and so far no crash. Maybe something got changed in the update and it didn't like the fact hangouts was disabled. Again, your issue may vary.

The new play services pretty much renders your phone useless due to nonstop update wake lock, (read more on the cataclysm ROM thread, like last 30 pages). The only way to fix the wake lock so far is to flash the cataclysm ROM patch (idk if it will work with stock ROM but it should) and it blocks the wake lock.
See attached picture below, that's how bad the new google play services is.
As for hangouts I got UKM and lowered the low memory killer to a minimum and disabled laptop mode (I'm using elementalX) and hangouts works just fine for me now.

Sounds like I should stick with what I've got then! Though having said that I think gp will update automatically when it's released, being a core system component?

Yes, it would.
So, I searched a lot but couldn't find a solution that works. I was on 11S 05Q and I downloaded 12S OTA file from the official CM link. I'm rooted and had Xposed. But after installing the OTA via TWRP(2.8.6.0), I get the message "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped" continuously. I have uninstalled xposed, cleared data for contacts and contacts storage multiple times but the error still keeps popping up. Also, if it helps, the preview crash report mentions "[CRASH]com.android.providers.contacts threw android.os.TransactionTooLarge Exception". So I believe it has something to do with the contacts data getting corrupted somehow. Is there anyway to resolve this issue? If I factory reset my phone through TWRP, will i lose all my media and will I have to reinstall all my apps again? I have the nandroid backup of 11S 05Q made through TWRP. If I decide to go back to 05Q by going through the restore option in TWRP, can it brick my phone because I read somewhere that 12S had new radio files. A detailed guide or link would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
I'm in the same boat, unfortunately. In my case, the trigger seems to be Facebook app. Did a lot of research, tried to fence FB off Contacts (and even Calendar) by changing Privacy Guard settings, to no avail. I was only able to get to the state when FB was still installed and not triggering the error permanently (in my case every 2-3 seconds really, making phone unusable), however the moment I tried to access Contacts or Phone apps, the error was back (means couldn't call anyone, which sort of defeats the purpose of having a cell phone). The ultimate solution (and the only, to my best knowledge) is to get an Android 5.1 - based ROM...

I have the same problem! I had it after updating yesterday. I did a factory reset and thought that fixed it but after opening trivia crack it came back. It's like everytime an account is added whether it's Facebook, a game, etc. It pops up with this error. I can fix it by booting into safe mode and wiping calendar and contacts storage in settings-apps. But once new account is installed it comes back. Could I wipe my entire device back to stock using 44s file via adb and then update to lollipop with zip? Maybe that will fix it.

Boot into safe mode (power down phone and then hold both volume keys while starting until lockscreen appears). Then goto settings and apps. Find calendar storage and contacts storage. Wipe those and restore your contacts with a vcf file. Then reboot, this will fix it temporarily. As long as you don't add an account! I tried factory reset and thought that worked but it didn't. Might have to restore to stock 44s via adb. When will cyanogen have the full lollipop file available to install? All I see online is Ota zip, not full os.
I figured it out. Uninstall Facebook. Don't use Facebook app, use it though a web browser.
This is an Android 5 bug, as per Google it is fixed in 5.1 The bug is because of memory exception in contact storage. Potentially, it can come back from ANY application synchronizing contacts. In my case it was Nine Exchange Mail application. Cleaning contact storage, full phone reset - nothing helped, at the moment I tried to add my corporate email added through Nine - the problem came back. I removed Nine app, and added corp email through CM email app (Boxer). The app is Ok, but not giving as much features as Nine (Out of Office settings etc). For now it works, I just wonder when we will get the CM12.1 with this fix. This is really sad, but can't blame CM for this.
Here is the link for this problem description on AOSP issue tracker forum: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=95749
thanks...uninstalling updates to G+ app seems to help ...the popups have stopped <fingers crossed>
hopefully 5.1 has fixed this
To help gain more developer attention, please vote for the bug in Cyanogen's issue tracker: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-2820
Please also consider voting in Google's issue tracker (via Star at upper-left): https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=95749
The Cyanogen defect report presently has just a single vote, reducing the likelihood it will be fixed anytime soon in 12.0. I'm hoping Cyanogen can back-port the necessary changes from 12.1 (Android 5.1.x) where this issue is already corrected.
I installed the official Android 6.0 factory image on my nexus 5 yesterday, letting it erase my phone (because I was having the issue where my phone only showed 12.55gb of space instead of ~26gb), and I can't get now on tap to work. I live in the US, and so my phone is using the English language. Whenever I tap and hold the home button, the little popup that introduces now on tap pops up at the bottom of the screen, but when I click on the get started button, it just closes the popup, and pretends I clicked the not now button. I've even tried going to the google now settings, and manually enabling now on tap, however, the toggle switch just instantly turns back off after I tap on it. This was one of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade to 6.0. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it? I would like to avoid wiping the phone and re flashing the image if at all possible. (I can do it if all else fails, I'm just too lazy to have to reinstall all my apps, and get the phone all setup how I like it again)
Perhaps try wiping cache and dalvik cache, as well as fully uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of Google now.
just tried wiping the cache and reinstalling Google now. Didn't do anything. You think it would do anything if I redownloaded the factory image from google (maybe mine has borked bits), and manually flash everything but the user data part?
If you're willing, it's definitely worth a shot.
I checked the md5 on the archive I downloaded from google, and it matched, so I just manually reflashed the cache and system images... and it did nothing. I guess I may have to see if google releases an update or something that fixes it. I'm also in the process of saving up for the nexus 6p, but that'll take a while, which is why I wanted to get it working on my nexus 5 first.
Yeah so it definitely seems like an issue on their end, we just went through all the basic troubleshooting steps.
May have just found out the issue. Google hates Google apps users. Is there a way to use my regular gmail account for google now, and then use my google apps account for everything else? (email, contacts, play store, etc.)
I'm honestly not sure. You can try adding both accounts and playing around with their settings, for example i know that you can choose the account you want to use in the play store but I'm not sure about other apps like Google now, since I've never had to do this personally.
I figured it out. You can select which account you want to use for each app on your phone. So I just told my phone not to sync anything on my gmail account, and then selected it in the google now app. I hate how Google does this. First it was google+, then inbox (which I tried out, and didn't really like), now its google now on tap. So glad I am using the no longer available free version of google apps. I would never purchase google apps business, since Google has no respect for their apps account users. I hope they will eventually fix this issue, and allow now on tap to be used by gapps users.
Glad you figured it out man.
Hi. So lately Gmail and google search have been crashing whenever something tries to activater sync the apps. I have uninstalled the xposed framework and they stopped behaving like that. I have Greenwich, amplify, YouTube add away, Snapchat full.caption modules. I am running on Android 4.4.2. I have already tried erasing the cache things and uninstalling the apps updates.
Other thing that's happening to my cellphone is that it only charges when is turned off. But I don't if that's related to it since it started happening after the Google apps thin. So what can I do to fix it?

As title says , Gmail doesn't send any notifications when i receive Emails unless i open the app and manually refresh , which causes may issues as it's Business Mail
i tried many solutions (Dose thing using ADB , Turning all notificaions settings on , Clearing Data , Factory reset phone , Deleted Gmail using ADB and reinstalled it again via Play store) but none worked , the Gmail app isn't there in Battery optimization settings and not in auto launch settings in Color Os 12.1 (idk why , guess it's considered as system app)
Please if anyone got any idea about how to solve this issue , if i couldn't solve it then i will have to sell the Phone and i don't want to do so cuz i really like it ..
This was happening to me too, when it did I figured a workaround: go google play > Gmail, click uninstall and it will uninstall to original version of gmail comes with the patch. Now disable auto update for Gmail. clear data and cache. It works properly as long as you don't let it update again. I used it like that for a year. It just annoys you to click ignore every time you update other apps from store.
side-note: Later when I completely wiped my phone, it got working properly with the updated versions again. I think an old update brakes it while applying.
