Hi all,
I have grown kind of addicted to having an easy access swipe to launch Google Discover from my Nova Launcher desktop. Lately, the panel crashes, which is kind of annoying. Does anyone know why this may happen? How can I diagnose this issue?
Any fix?
I just started with same crashes. Whenever I hit Google app to open it just "blinks" - it doesn't open. I cleared cache and data on assistant, Google and Google play services. It works for a while, hour or so, but then the same crash. I've been googling trying to find answers and found this thread. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Same here! I thought it was a server side update that introduced a bug, since downgrading the app doesn't help.
I've tried everything: clearing cache/data, downgrading, rebooting, unsubscribing from beta,... but it keeps crashing.
I saw no mention of it on AndroidPolice nor 9to5Google, so I thought it was me

Update: I deactivated "swipe to launch the discover" and it seem to solve the issue. Of course, you can't use it anymore but you can always asign a gesture to Google's app.
I bet it's a server side update from Google that ****s up Nova Companion. I've contacted the devs, but since the app hasn't been updated in 3 years, I wouldn't put so much hope there...

Update 2: got an answer from Nova: "Google Discover is a Google app, not ours. We simply give you access to it and nothing more. The issue you are experiencing is a Google issue. The known fix that can be found on the internet is: Phone Settings -> Apps -> Google App -> Uninstall Updates. If that doesn't work for you then contact Google directly."
I had already tried their fix before contacting them, so it's not working.
If it's on Google's side, then all hope is lost: good luck to contact a dev from Google who will take this issue in consideration.
True fix is uninstalling Nova Companion and setting a gesture to launch Google app. It's almost the same

The new Photos app does not auto-enhance photos, and I really liked that feature. I tried looking for an old Photos apk but this new one seems to be the first one. So I figured it was part of the Google+ package. I uninstalled Photos and cleared all updates from Google+, but still no old Photos app. Am I missing something?
I have a T-Mo Galaxy S6.
Ran into your problem yesterday, there are 2 ways:
restore your phone to factory lol or,
uninstall google+ (as photos.apk is part of it) and install an older version <5.6 so 5.5 will do the trick, and do not allow updates of your google+ or photos.apk
It looks like the option to uninstall updates from google + is no longer available, which is what I relied on in the past. Now with no root on a note 4 att model, I'm screwed and stuck with the new crappy photos app unless I restore. Ugh!

Ok I solved my own issue. Even without the option to uninstall or uninstall updates on Google plus, I was able to install an older google plus apk, which includes the old photos app. Turn off auto updates of google plus and don't look back. I found the working apk here http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-91034052-android-4-0-3-android-apk-download/

I tried but the link is for Google+ and it doesnt bring back or restores the good old Photos app which had effects like retro, drama etc.
And I want that Google photos app back which was basically on Kitkat.
Any help??
By chance I ran the Huawei App Manager and it showed me a lot of updates for Apps I installed with Google Play but Google Play does not show these updates?
How can that be?

I noticed that too. I don't know why. There apps were the only google apps that I did not have a problem with dealing with syncing and my google account disappearing before I was rooted.

Has someone a solution for this problem? When trying to download large games from the play store the app force closes instantly.
Thanks
no issues here after switching to the international rom. maybe thats worth a try, since it has all google apps and services preinstalled

I've mentioned this before.
There is a fix for it but its something to do with permissions and making it a system app otherwise you will get crashes when downloading anything around a gb or more.

Also, you need to give Play Store internal storage permission to download those large games, until I did that I had same issue as you with large game installs appearing to cause the Play Store to crash.

As you can see a simple search and you can find the answers...
Need some setting change...
Hello XDA, I hope you thought that my title was punny enough to earn your attention.
My Galaxy S6 has recently and suddenly refused to cooperate with Chrome, Google Music, etc.
I am experiencing hanging on Chrome; I.E. (pun intended) the loading bar will get 1/10th of the way to finish,
wait about 30-60 seconds, then continue loading. (This occurs on both Wi-Fi and mobile data)
Google Music simply will not load online music while on Wi-Fi.
Even the stock "Internet" app hangs similar to chrome.
The Google Play Store also refuses my Wi-Fi connection; merely leaving the screen blank and not loading features
I cannot even update or download apps.
What I have tried:
Resetting the Google Apps and Play Store Cache
Uninstalling Google Apps' updates
I will be updating this list as help comes in the streamline the efforts to restore my phone to glory.
Please save me from this Sprint "LTE" and Spark torture.
Thank you all !
I am on Verizon and recently experienced the same issue with Chrome. I switched to the Samsung browser and it works fine. Hoping a,Chrome update fixes the isdue.

Hi all.
I have been using the P40pro for a while now and have used App gallery and Petal search. I am just wondering if anyone has found any better ways to get apps on the device maybe something that auto updates apps as manually isn't that bad. But it is not just overly convenient.

If they where downloaded from App gallery they will auto update or you can set to manual if you prefer. With petal it is a manual job but realistically this allows you to check what the update is actually for an if you want to do it or wait for the next one, so there is a plus side to this.

i've used this in the past.
if its direct download through App gallery it will! im sure in time it will
PhoneClone as a starting point - but I make sure to replace with version from AppGallery if possible (Snapchat + Tinder for example)
AppGallery
PetalSearch
Aptoide
APK Sites which don't appear on Petal
Direct from sites (Facebook and Vanced (Vanced.App) for example)
That's pretty much it unless you're going to get Play Store installed and working.
