When i use whatsap or other apps, google search opens up by itself. I turned it off and then in whatsap search opens up?
Any suggestion? I thought the screen protector is causing troubles. After removal same issue. But i had this before update n after update.

Google maps

I downloaded the newest update for Google maps. When I search for a location and click on the tab for it, I noticed that the call option tab isn't available. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Noticed that this morning myself. Kind of a pain.
Figure there will be an update to fix it.
Edit: BTW If you use the Labs Bubble Buttons, you can use that to dial with

How to fix Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped

Hi everyone, Just wanted to post this as I have found it to be useful for me.
I am sure some of you have seen this issue before or are experiencing it now. I have included a link to the youtube video.
what is the issue?
Recently after downloading the newest play store I started seeing an error message about unfortunately the process gapps has stopped working .
this was happening whenever i tried to add an account and when opening some of my apps including the browser and play store
.
it was annoying me but it would go away and the app would immediately open for me after so it was not that big of a problem.
I tried to solve the problem first by uninstalling updates to the play store in application manager
,
then by flashing roms and factory resetting
, however this did not help at all.
l
. finally last night at work my phone had three random reboots . my phone has never done that before
. I searched on google and found a very easy fix and once again my phone is like new
.
the fix.
settings/ application manager/scroll to left until you reach the all applications screen/ touch menu screen left of the home button/ reset app preferences.
here is the youtube link

anyone here experiencing the same or find a solution?
My buddy is also experiencing this. None of the potential fixes he found worked. Reverting to old versions, clearing data, or enabling "Enhanced" voice support didn't fix it.
I've seen some people mention Google disabled the feature due to the phone picking up excess background noise and interpreting it as "Ok Google."
Gone for me too.
Weirder still (and completely infuriating), that option is gone, but I now have "trusted voice" under smart lock, but of course no ability to use it.
Yeah.. why wouldn't google or samsung communicate what they did and what they will do about it... hmmmm
Ok Google missing
I wonder if it has anything to do with Samsung's S-voice being able to open the phone from a "screen off" position?
Maybe Samsung and Google fighting it out?
Just resurrecting this to see if anybody knows of any updated info on this?? I really miss this.
It is now fixed!!!!! simply go to the play store, or your application manager, uninstall updates and reinstall.
I can confirm it is back up and running look likes it was a conflict with Samsung voice...
My google now from any screen no longer works as well

Mine just showed back up in the settings, but if it's not showing up simply go uninstall the updates then update them manually from the store... [emoji106]

Note 12 keeps crashing with most apps.

My note 12 keeps crashing and instantly exiting apps (going back to home screen). I often lose my work because of this. I don't know what's the cause. I tried uninstalling a lot of apps. My system keeps crashing to the home screen.
I noticed this on my tablet and found out it was an update to the Google Now app that caused crashing. I removed the Google Now widget from my home screen and that resolved the problem. Google released an update yesterday that seems to have fixed the crashing.

I'll check if you're right.
I don't have the google now widget on the homescreen.
If that doesn't help, try troubleshooting step 1: Factory reset.
Not only does mine crash constantly, but web pages constantly reload/refresh while you are reading them and it is driving me crazy!
And, yes, I've tried factory resetting.....

lock screen and security

I'm having an issue getting into my lock screen and security settings. Every time I try to open it, it crashes. I can get into every other setting besides lock screen and security. Also can't use the search feature without it crashing. Galaxy S8+here. Anyone know a work around without having to factory reset my device?

strange,
please give more details
I'm having the exact same problem on my s8+. Cannot use search function in settings menu or settings just crashes. Only discovered today actually, that I can't access lock screen and security now. Clicking on lock screen and security causes settings to crash. Have you been able to fix this? I really don't want to have to do a reset.
try safe mode so you can find out if it is caused by an app
If you forgot the login password , you can not access your phone
I'm having the exact same problem. Only noticed after installing bixby and it recommending setting up smart lock from the lock screen and then not being able to get in to the settings. Was working fine when I used it just a couple days ago, not sure if bixby has anything to do with it but have tried wiping cache and safe mode with no luck?
Edit: so just after getting a new firmware update the problem seems to be fixed. Not sure if this was an actual issue with the old firmware or any update would have fixed it.

So this has actually happened to me 2x. It's effecting my phone currently. The first time it just kinda fixed itself after an update thru T-Mobile. Sucks. Can't use Google Maps or Inbox at all either. So frustrating.
My settings crashes when I go to set "Emergency Alerts" and the Advanced settings in Mobile Hotspot. Wiping cache doesn't help. Anyone else have this happen?
