Google Assistant crashing randomly all the time since Android 12 on Pixel 3a - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Since I upgraded to Android 12, Google Assistant is randomly crashing, mostly when asking a location question like "where is the next supermarket". It starts with "I have found severa-" and then just force closes.
I have found out, that opening Google Maps sometimes randomly makes it to work, but then 1-2 days later it starts to crash again. Also activating "ok google" command seems to fix it for a while, I disable it, working, but then some days later it starts to crash again.
Have tried to remove Google app, reinstall Google app, clear Google app data, install Google Beta App, nothing helped.
Here is a list of countless people having the same issue:

Anyone on here found out how to solve it? Factory reset also doesnt seem to fix it.
This is unbelievable, no official bug ticket so far it seems by Google, that they are even aware about the issue.

I have found out what is causing it and how to solve it. Read my reddit post on here how to fix it, who is affected by it:

[Q] Play Store v. 5.1.1 crashes immediately upon opening, HELP!

This issue has just started happening to me over the past 2-3 days, and I cannot figure out a permanent fix for it! Let me start by saying that my OPO is not rooted, and the only updates to the ROM have been the official ones that have been released (I'm currently on CM version 11.0-XNPH44S). Every time I attempt to open the Play Store, it crashes immediately afterward with the "unfortunately google play store has stopped" error. I looked at the error report and it states : [CRASH] com.android.vending threw java.lang.IllegalArguementException as the subject then the first line of the content reads: "java.lang.illegalarguementexception: view android.widget.listview{41ab7730 VFED.VC. .F...... 0,0-1080,1845 #7f0a02dd app:id/play_drawer_list} is not a drawer".
I know nothing about Java, so I have no idea what this means, and there are 18 lines of equally incomprehensible text after that. I've tried clearing the data, cache, etc. from the app with no change. The only thing that works is when I uninstall the updates, taking the Play Store back to v. 4.9.13. However, in almost all cases it auto-updates immediately back to 5.1.1, so I'm still not able to use it. I read somewhere about disabling the background data usage in settings, but then you're not allowed to download anything from the store.
Is anyone else having the same issue, or can you suggest an idea as to how to fix it without my rooting the device and having to back up the nearly 700 apps I have on it? TYSM in advance!

SM-G955u Apps Randomly close

I can't find a solution to the issue I am having. It happens with all Gaming apps and if I click on a link in Facebook it will close out. The app will close out with no error message. Not sure how to fix it. If traced it down to the initial Google updates after activating phone. If you factory reset the device and stop the auto updates. It will work just fine. If you install the 30 something random google / bloatware apps. The issue comes back. ive also tried flashing the factory firmware a couple times and that didnt work. The S8+ is an ATT phone if that helps.
If anyone can enlighten me, with a fix for this issue that would be grand.
I've search google up and down and cannot find even a mention of this issue.

Google Assistant is messed up

Hey All, my google assistant on my pixel 2 stock rooted June patch on verizon is having odd behavior. It seems that localized commands will work such as, "hey google, what is the weather" or "okay google, turn off mobile data".
When i ask something that requires assistant to go out to thew web for results, it will recognize the command but then it will show the three dots as if it's searching but never return results. Another strange thing is that when i ask it to call my voicemail, it will do the same thing but if i turn off mobile data, it will make the call .
i've tried clearing google app data and cache. i've also taken the SIM out and put it back in but the issue persists.
anyone else ever experience this? any suggestions?
i re-downloaded and re-flashed the system image. issue persists.
Fixed it. Needed to uninstall the Google app updates. I updated again via the n play store and it continued to work

Google Play Store Issues - "Download Pending"

Researching online, I have read that this has been a common problem reported for years. After my May Security update, Google Play Store has been acting up. I haven't seen if it does it when downloading new apps, but it constantly gets stuck at "download pending" when updating existing apps. The only workaround I have found is to "clear storage" and wait like 20 minutes for it reset and find updates again. Then it works for a little while (~1 day) and then stuck again. I've also tried removing my Google account from the phone, and then reinstalling it...didn't work. Does anyone know how I can permanently fix Play Store so I don't have to clear storage every day?

I have had that issue as well as missing .01 MB and just sitting there for hours. I try to update 1 app then reboot the update another. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. This was on my oneplus5t stock rom 9.0 as soon as I installed LineageOS 16 all issues with updating cleared up. just restored back to 100% stock and issues again.

corrupt google framework cannot be fixed

Hi there guys. i have a problem which i noticed today. i will try to be very specific on what happened etc, so that i may get the best help possible.
I have a xiaomi mi note 10 pro, with miui global rom 11.0.16 running android 9.
i have it rooted (first phone i ever rooted).
i had android auto installed and also android auto enabler (what a great app, got it from xda). alla was working fine more the few months i had my phone.
yesterday i noticed that android auto wouldnt start.
i was getting a message "android auto requires one or more google play services that are not currently available".
This must have happened in the last 3-4 days, because iremember having opened android auto few days ago, and all worked fine.
well, first i tried downgrading android auto, uninstalling, reinstalling it, getting updates from google play and aptoide for google play etc, removing them, deleting cache, deleting settings restarting and all that.
no matter what,i got the same error. one or more google play services is not currently available.
i was really desperate. today, i noticed an app named google services.
i opened it and it says on top "gms installer"
under it, it has 4 names. (google framework, google service, play store, google maps). all have ticks, apart from google framework.
google framework states it is corrupt. i press the button there is to fix it, it starts fixing and it stucks at 94%. doesnt go any further. upon trying to restart, it gets stuck at 0%.
after clearing cache data and restarting phone, it gets again at 94%. i am thinking thatthis framework is the problem. and i cannot do anything to fix this.
searching on the internet, many had this problem with android auto. and many of them had the problem these last few days. any ideas what i could do? at least to install the framework again?
ps. i never uninstalled the framework. or google services, as i have read it is a very bad thing to do.
thank you
