Latest Google Search/Now crashes v3.1.8

Hello
I'm having a problem, I just updates Google Search via the Play Store to the new version 3.1.8. But to my disappointment, it crashes, it crashes immediately I try to open it or when I try to open Voice Search. I tried Clearing all data and reinstalling the app, but it still crashes. Please help.
Thank you

Same here! Running XXCMC3 BY BaDaB!ng v6. I uninstalled the update and then GNow world's fine. But as soon as I reinstall the update and try to launch GNow, it force closes.

It's annoying. I thought I was the only one. I sent the crash report to Google. I hope they will respond with an update that fixes the problem, because I really wanna try the new features of Google Now.

Same here stock rooted.

Let me uninstall updates and try updating again.
*Edit: Still no luck, I guess I'll have to wait for a fix from Google.

You lucky then, I updated, and it doesn't work

Having same problem on stock device with no root.
Also noticed that Google+ doesn't work and crashes with the Google Search update. Removing the Google Search update fixes everything. Have submitted crash reports to Google for both defects.
Is there a way to only select the last update prior to Search v3.18 in the Play Store? Going back to the stock Google Search on the GN10.1 is a big step backwards.
Thanks.

apk is the only way

I think there's no option to rollback to prior updates. The only option is to go back to the stock version or Sideload the prior apk....

Understood.
As I've never done this for a Google app, could you tell me where I should search for the apk to sideload?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, having this same problem here... Google Now force closes / crashes on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Android 4.1.2).
For this, I hope Samsung gives my good old tablet a KIT KAT.

New update today, keep crashing at startup

Magazines - > Newsstand

I'm also getting force closes from the new Google Newsstand app too. I went back and side loaded an old version of the Magazines apk, but all this is making me wonder if something changed in the Play Services API and we didn't get updated. Someone above mentioned that G+ wasn't working. Mine is.
NOT WORKING & VERSION
Search 3.18
Newsstand 3.0

G+ and translate are working. The error on search is related to number conversion (its what the error report says).

Still broken with the Dec 3 update. Sigh.

I had the same problem - not rooted, stock Note 10.1. Run KIES and there is a new Note 10.1 firmware update that fixes this problem. After the update from Samsung, Google Search and Google Plus run normally - no more blank black screens.
Also - before I updated the firmware, I tried uninstalling all updates to Search without reinstalling updates and it worked. The Samsung firmware update fixes the problem and allows all Google updates to work.

Thanks for the workaround. I've never used KIES as I didn't want more software on my laptop. Is there another way to update this firmware without using KIES?
As of this week I've noticed that the recent update to Google+ & Google News also crashes.

Oreo Play Store Error 501

After I've installed the official oreo update, play store gives me error 501 if I try to install antutu and pcmark. I didn't try any other apps so far. Is there anyone, who has the same problem? Tried uninstalling play store and play services updates, clear data, nearly anything I can think of.

Same thing for me... Will try later. Phone's working great !

Hi S,
Maybe you need to activate "developer" and then allow installing 3rd party app ?
Hope it works,
Kurt

It can't be activated for play store, but when i try to install the apk it says error parsing the package. And no, no corrupt download, tried more than 3 times. I start to think, that somehow Huawei blocked these apps.

Used to happen with me on an earlier Oreo build but not anymore. It used to give an error on all benchmark apps on the store. Everything else works perfectly fine but Benchmark apps were somehow blocked apparently.
But now I'm running a newer build of Oreo (8.0.0.360) and they work perfectly fine. Try updating your phone if it's not on it already.

As I said, it's the latest official version for eu (8.0.0.361), updated through HiCare.

P20 pro - device is not certified in Play Store

After I updated to .161 (C432) via Hi Suite, Google Play store shows that my device is not certified??!! Everything works fine in store, I can download apps, update apps but I'm confused with this info.
On .159 everthing was fine.
Phone is with no root, no bootloader unlock, nothing. Everything is stock as I have from the first day i bought it.
Does anybody have the same issue?
EDIT: and suddenly problem is solved by itself after Play store is updated to new version... ghosts in my phone ?

Flash services firmware

it just that the Play Services need to updated to align with latest FW and SW update from OEMs

Problem is solved after Play Store upgraded to new version

Google Pay Issues

​
I'm having Google Pay issues since I have updated to the lastest update on my UK device. Google Pay app claims the software is modded.
This is unacceptable.

I was also having issues with Snapchat so I logged out but unable to log back in.
I downloaded safety net check and my phone is failing.
My phone is fully stock with locked bootloader and I've only used adb to debloat!

Sounds like your Google Play Store isn't certified
Try clearing the data & cache for Google Play Store & for Google Play, should work, I also had the same issue when I first got my device
:good:

Hi,
same Problem here! After the Rollback from Beta Android 11 (Play Store/ Pay ok) don't work anymore! Play Store not Certified!?!?
Any Solution Guys?

Thanks, but it don't work! ?

This is a beta problem (that's why it's beta). You have to wait for the Android 11 update (even after installing Android 10 again). The only thing you could do is to refresh it now to its original state, how it was before you installed the beta. I think there are beta files, that doesn't erase themselves.

Also same after downloading safety net check.

I've had this a couple of times, more specifically after an OTA, but then it just disappeared randomly and Google Pay worked again.

Google pay update today play store , updated cleared cache data etc still not working phone rma now with shop.
Was really loving this phone but does not bode well that Google pay isent working and no word from oppo.

Sorted mine , as last resort performed factory wipe installed apps again just been in shop tested and happy to report it's working ??

New phone same problems
Has anyone found a solution to this?
I've got a stock Oppo Find X2 Pro yesterday, brand new. Installed and cloned my google accounts across from my old phone. Hadnt set up google pay yet. The update to colour os 7.1 arrived today and then went to set up google pay. Informed the phone is rooted or modified and i can't use google pay... Clearing cache and data, reinstall app doesn't work.
Is this something we just need to wait for oppo to fix?

Have you tried clearing the cache & data for the Play Store & not Google Pay, normally this'll re-certify the Play Store which affects many if not all apps, then you should be able to use Google Pay

I solved removing and adding again the credit cards.
Safety net Test report me "PASSED” now.

What worked for me.
Go to settings security Google play update and check there, I had an update available for Android 10 that I installed, I could then finish setting up my card and it's happily working now.

I had issues with my brand new phone after migrating all the settings from a Google Pixel 3. What fixed it for me was removing all my credit cards and then scanning them in again using the Oppo Find X2.

Fixed seemingly
I've cleared the cache on Play Store and Google Pay and it seems to have fixed the issue for me :laugh:

google services and huawei ota updates

I got a push ota update today and updated, and I do have google services, do I stop updates from now on? do you think that an update would break those services?

Im in the same situation , though i have the P40 Lite. Would be nice if someone who has been through this could share their experience.
kamesenin888 did you update, if so what was the result?
Thank you.

Nothing bad happened with the update but I fear of future updates

I've updated my p40 pro to the latest version without any issues, google services still work fine.

Hey! I got the Google play services installed on my p40 pro, have not had any problems with OTA updates, everything still works like a charm.
But my question is, when I open Aurora store it says play services is available to update, but in playstore there is no update.
If I update the services through Aurora will it make the play services stop workin?
I guess it's a modified version of play services that are installed when I used the guide to install play services with the lzplay installer.

I installed the 147 firmware on p40 pro ... and made a factory reset.
Be aware that if you update the firmware and do a factory reset... there is no way to install the lzplay and google play services.
If you decide to update in the future try to not do the factory reset or delet the cache...Until someone give us a working solution for the lzplay.

what do you mean you cannot put lzplay? I will take that into account, mine is still at 135 and i think lzplay still works without errors, maybe is that update

When i was on .131 lz play works fine .. after the update with the new security the creators of lz play I think blocked the phone. Because installing the google play services on any huawei phone is not supported from google and huawei ... maybe some of them complain to creators of the lzplay and they blocked.
So until someone find a new hole to install google play services .. everyone who update to july securiti and do a factory reset i think will not be able to install google play service animore.

No issues after update

I'm stuck at. 131

You can always downgrade using Hisuite proxy method below, I've made that mistake of updating to 147 (had auto updates setting on) but successfully downgraded to 131 and gms install went smoothly then updated itself to 147 and gms still working fine
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83238395&postcount=328

I will give it a try.
Thx for the tips

Do you guys have a link to the guide you followed to get GMS installed? My P40 pro is on the way and there are so many guides out there. I would rather use one that is known working.

Help me please. I tried to use the proxy and I got that I cannot find Internet connection and cannot downgrade. How do I solve this???

I managed to downgrade my software from 147 to 133 and then to install google services which work fine. Problem now is that there's no way to update the frimware from 133. I've tried OTA through phone and I'm being offered the same version I already got installed. Tried with HiSuite proxy method and only get error messages no matter what firmware (incremental) version i try to install. Guess there are hundreds of methods how to install google services and there might be some file I installed that locks the firmware to the one I've got installed. Has anyone experienced this problem and is there a fix for it?

I'd be interested in this also as I can't get mine to update, I bought it used last week so not sure if the previous owner downgraded from 147 before I had it.
