Google Play Store App Search Broken - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

Post-Oreo update, I can no longer use the Google Play Store's search bar. The app immediately crashes.
Anyone else have this issue? I've tried clearing the cache and data, but it doesn't help.

Uninstal playstore update

Same issue
After oreo update, play store crashes when clicking or searching on an app in the store.
I tried clearing cache of play store and play services and re-installing the latest play store apk. no luck.
Any Ideas?

Similar situation here on nougat. One of my m9's has playstore problems and the other one doesn't. One is a daily and one is fresh. Fresh one works great. Must be an app or something causing it as nothing short of factory restore has fixed it..

You could check if it is an App, by rebooting into safe mode.
Press power button, then long press power down. As soon, as the save mode pop-up shows up press OK. The device will reboot to safe mode and thus deactivated all installed Apps but system apps to make sure nothing can interfere with core functionalities. If all works there, you have to determine which are the recently installed Apps and uninstall them one by one to check which one it is.

Had same issue post Oreo update. Uninstalled updates on the play store, after updates re-installed worked just fine

I have just had the same problem with the EMEA Oreo update. I tried rebooting, clearing cache and data of both Play Store and Google Play Services and nothing worked. I uninstalled updates of both Play Store and Google Play Services and it became even worse: I couldn't even start the play store (nothing would apparently happen when clicking the icon) and sometimes force close messages from the play store would appear even while it wasn't running in the foreground. What eventually seems to have fixed it was downloading and installing the latest Play Store APK from APKMirror. Maybe an automatic Play Store update would have also done the trick, but I am not sure that the auto-update itself would have worked in that state.

guys uncheck & disable PlayStore and PlayService app in boost+ battery optimizion....your problem fixed
boost+ change resulation lower of app in battery optimizion mode and new version of play store have problem with this mode
if problem in downloads disable : Download and downloadmanager app in boost+

OMG!
This seems to be the fix! Thank you so much, it's been driving me crazy for weeks!
i uninstalled almost all my apps trying to figure out which one was the culprit!
I cant see PlayService in boost+ but turning it off for Playstore now lets me browse the store!
THANK YOU!

I've been having this problem since Oreo landed on my moto g6 phone. I'm not finding boost+ on my phone. The closest thing I can find is a special apps access->battery optimization that has a list of apps to set battery optimization. Google Services is precluded from optimization and I can set play store yes/no for optimization. Setting this off and rebooting has had no effect on Google Play Store's crashing.

I am also getting this error on ICS icysnap V2.0. I think this error is occurring due to some bug or incompatibility of latest google play service apk with our device. I have submitted the error report to google. I hope they will fix this soon. For the time being i have uninstalled the google play service. By going to Security > Device Administrator then uncheck the google admin. After this you can uninstall the application in usual way.
Previous version of google play services working fine.

I have also experienced this. Mostly happened while Gmail is syncing. Happened on cm-9, cm-10.1.6, and affected apps on cm-7.But Play Services works perfect on official stock gingerbread. So I think it's a combination of causes. Authentication of apps and services running on unofficial roms,and APIs that are built for armv7 devices. But I'm only guessing. Haven't had time to study my logcats yet. May 14 update seems to be a little better. But it's still not fixed.
Edit: May 16 update, still not fixed. Have read and verified that it works better on WiFi. On WiFi, Gmail, after syncing (and caching that sync) will not cause Play Services to close. But on mobile network, it does.
May 19 update to Google Play Services (version 4.4.52):
I think it's fixed
Updated several apps and synced Gmail. Did not get annoying message. Running cm-9.2.0 (hephappy).

Yea, you are right. Now Google play services working flawlessly on cm 11 also.

Use a file manager and go to / system/app, and look to see if gmscore is still there. Long press on it to select and view properties. Properties should include permissions, which should be set to:
User: rw-
Groups: r--
Others: r--
The binary representation of this is 644
If gmscore is not there, then you may have it in your backups from TiBU.

Managed to fix it but I had to reinstall all the apps I had removed one by one as TB would not do a batch.
Kept throwing an error.
I really need to know what I can and cant remove as I rooted this phone to get rid of some of the apps I dont use they just clutter the whole system
Same bug after reinstallation of the firmware. I think there are some issues on Google's side.
FIXED!!! Finally Found This Fix!
I was unable to listen to my music for 48 hours, which is hell to me as I'm ALWAYS listening to music. This also looks horrible on Google/Android as I just left iOS (which honestly is a better OS than Android, but Android has come a long way so I'm optimistic about its future...and I also love my Moto X and prefer Android to iOS overall (minus these little annoying issues)). Anyway, finally fixed it by Uninstalling the update made on the Google Play Music app.
Go to Settings - Apps - Google Play Music - and select Uninstall Updates. Hope this helps.

This seems to have fixed the issue for me. Uninstalled Play Music, then reinstalled, and has been working fine since. Good thing too, as it was popping up twice in quick succession every 30 seconds almost. Very frustrating!
Anyway, thanks
EDIT: Seems I spoke too soon
im still umable to do it
I also have this problem, using most recent gapps.
Same problem
I've been having the same problem up until a couple of days ago Play Services worked fine but when ever i open the Google Keyboard the message pops up "Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped working" and idea what the problem might be. My version is 7.0.97 (1791429-034)
Thanks for the help.

That one is really old, may cause other, but thankfully quieter problems. Would like to downgrade to a 6.6 version if I can find the link, however...

Back to version 7.* and the problem recurs. Need to defeat its auto upgrade, but this is not a normally-listed app on Play. Maybe after the audo-upgrade happens, one can get to its setting from "my-apps" pane, recently upgraded.

Google Play not auto-updating apps

Google Play doesn't seem to want to auto-update apps on my device, it's been like this for a few weeks since I clean installed of YNG1TAS17L, so I have to do it manually. It worked once when I set the option to "Auto-update apps at any time" but I can't risk using this as it would use up mobile data.
Any ideas on what the issue could be?

Did you try rebooting the device?
Have you forced stop or disabled any Google service?

Google Play Services is 7.3.29 (That's dated April 21st, but matches my Nexus 7 version and apps auto-update fine)
Play Store is 5.5.12
Also had lots of reboots
Only Google Play Movies & TV, Play Music, and Hangouts have been frozen
Also, my device installs new apps from the Play store when initiated from Google Play on a desktop PC no problem, but all the updates are still ignored, despite needing no permission changes.

Did you try changing the settings to default for Google Play Store?
Clear data and clear cache of this app
Reboot and try
If still it doesn't work, I guess you need to reinstall the OS

music stopped working after update

new to this forum and desperate need some help. TIA.
I did an update when got prompt this week. Since then, i no long able to play music through the music app or any app. I still can see the songs. When I click, there is a blink and then nothing happened. rebooted multiply times, downloaded few new music apps and all the same.
running MHA-L29 8.0.0.367(C567)
At this point if nothing else fixed it (clearing OS cache, clearing app cache) I would suggest a factory reset.

I had a bug, not music, but here's one that fixed mine, and a few other people's glitches.
Settings>Apps & notifications>Apps>Google Play Services
STOP the app.
Storage, clear cache.
Then go back to the app, scroll to the bottom where it says store, click that, and uninstall the play app, or
just go to the play store under your account for this phone and uninstall the play app. This puts it back to
the stock app (mine went from version 12.xx to 11.xx), reboot the phone and see if that fixes it.
If not, just update the play app on the play store.
That fixed the issue I was having with SEVERE lag on opening, using and closing apps.

DO NOT update the play app. Keep it at the 11.xx version. So far, I have only one app that nags me that I need to update
the play app. I just ignore it.

But the problem is, EMUI 8.0 comes with AppGallery instead of HiApp which doesn't contain the Google Play Store. So, when I had upgraded to Oreo, I wanted to flash OpenGapps and I encountered two errors:
1. I couldn't get the twrp working (the one that came from Huawei Multi Tool bricked my device)
2. Even If I could get twrp and flashed OpenGapps, it would show me insufficient storage error.

Ikr. The AppGallery on my phone contained absolutely no Google apps except Youtube. And, even if it had Play Store, installing it from AppGallery would install it as a normal app, not a system app. Wouldn't that cause problems?
I noticed that Play Store,Gmail,Youtube doesn't do works in background For example, when I choose to update all the apps of Play Store and my phone goes to sleep the updates stop running in the background. Gmail only shows me notifications of new e-mail when I actually open the app itself. Could these be because the apps are not system apps?

Installing as non-system app won't cause any problems with Play Store. There's a reason Huawei served it through its App Store to ensure it is installed correctly. The rest of Google Services are already included in EMUI 8.
About your apps getting killed in background, that's obviously because they are non-system apps. That's how Huawei power management works. But you have the option to set apps to not close even if your screen is locked. The option is in Settings so find it

What if I were to make them system app (App Systemizer module from Magisk) instead of changing that settings?
