Ever since I received pixel 6A, I have been experiencing this issue which I believe is well known to prior releases in this series.
The moment I open Google cam downloaded from play store and not installed from gcam port repos, it force closes and immediately reboots my device.
Are there any workarounds other than using another app for this?
Google camera is a system app built in, why would you need to download it from the store?
Try to factory flash or just replace from Google

I didn't separately download it from the Google Play store, but it did update itself.
Also the reason I specifically mentioned it being sourced from play store is to let experts know that I am not using any gcam ports or custom modified version of Google camera app.

Interesting....cant say Ive ever seen that happen.
@nikha I too faced the same issue when I got my P6a. It was on Android 12 and I updated all the apps including camera from Playstore. Suddenly it would freeze for a second and the phone would reboot whenever I opened the camera app.
Fix - I cleared the data of the camera app and updated to Android 13 and did factory reset. The issue has not occurred again. So far, no issues.

If that's the case, I would return it. That sounds hardware related if it's happening with vanilla no apps installed that might interfere android.

most specifically my Facebook app. whenever I force quit it or reboot the phone, my Facebook app reverts back to an old version. it says its the most up to date version when I check the version # and there's no updates available. I am rooted and have turned auto update off on the app within play store. this is really obnoxious having to uninstall and then reinstall the app multiple times a day bc the old version is AWFUL. any help would be appreciated GREATLY!

stock ROM and 4.5.10. its actually not just or force quits and reboots but that generates the problem 100% of the time. I noticed sometimes when I go to my Facebook app it'll just be an old version. although it has the same and most up to date version when I check the version #. when I uninstall and then install again its back to the newest version. reverts randomly a few hours later.

Is it only the Facebook app doing this? I'd try wiping data/cache for app, going to recovery, backup, wipe data/cache, reboot and try to see if problem persists. If it does, something between the Facebook app and google play is not working correct.
heres screenshot of app before and after a soft reboot.

it is the only app doing it that ive noticed but since im fairly new to android, its hard for me to tell older versions from new ones, this one is just SO obvious and frankly that old version is just awful.
i wiped data/cache from the app, went into recovery and wiped cache partition but didnt wipe the data, i assume that completely wipes the phone? sorry like i said i have only had this phone for 2 weeks from long time iphone user minus a short stint with a moto droid in 2009.

It's perfectly fine. Yes, don't wipe the data since that will wipe everything. But, since this did not clear up the issue, it sounds like a Facebook problem. I've heard many people complain about layaway build. Best thing I could say to do is try uninstall, reboot phone, and try reinstall. If that doesn't work, I'd try to find last version Facebook apk file (or current Facebook version apk file) NOT from play store, install,and wait for Facebook to fix the app from this problem. Still seeing possible other way to fix. By installing apk not from play store would allow phone to hopefully not reset to old version since play store doesn't realize you have Facebook anymore (since not from play store). A quick work around until fixed.
If this is facebook only, it might very well be a Facebook problem. Especially when you say that it changes even though the version of the apk stays the same.
Facebook has been testing the new layout by having both the new and the old one in the same apk, then they enable or disable it server side by accounts in order to try different versions of the new layout for different people and see the different responses in usage and so on. This sounds like a bug with that mechanism inside the Facebook app, and is not fixable as such. I for one have yet to see the new layout on my device.
You could try clearing the data for the facebook app to see if that helps.

Are you sure you aren't registered to facebook beta testing?
99.9% sure as I've never opted into a beta test for android.

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)

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.

This is on 5.0 and 5.1_r3
Any ideas how to figure this one out?
Most FCs/hangs on Google+ can be resolved by reseting the app's data. Look in Settings>Apps>Google+
Press on force close, then delete data und restart your device.

I have the same problem just updated to 5.1.1 (LMY48B) and its still crashing. did a factory reset flash factory image nothing helped
Tried a clean flash to a Carbon rim nightly, and now on the new factory image for 5.1.1... Seeing it in both of those too.

Had similar with gmail. There was an update in play store for it. Updated and end of problem. If you've not got update in your play store maybe check out apk mirror and see if your on the latest release. Update if needed. See if it fixes your problem.
Good luck.

Been through several of the latest versions of G+ and Photos and still seeing this. My best guess is this is related to something specific in the album setup for people who are experiencing it. Either an odd character, or something else. Since google has gone through so many different versions of albums it wouldn't surprise me.
In fact, if I had to guess, I would suggest every one who is seeing this crash has at some point in the past used picasaweb albums, would I be correct?

What were you running before this happened. B106? B109? This usually happens when you try and flash the Play Services yourself as Huawei already includes them. If you didn't do anything different to cause this, go into Apps and uninstall the google play services update and see if it works after that.

I have tried that a couple of times. the only thing I can do is restore my twrp backup and that is stable and then google starts downloading those updates again and boom it brings that error up. I don't know which one because they come down in a diffent order everytime. If I just have gmail loaded it is fine but that is not going to work. I might have to try to load up a modded playstore that doesn't allow any updates at all and just be satified. What Google apps are you running (Full list, so I'll know whick one ones are okay to put on my phone). That would be a good thread. And do you have any problems like that?

You'll be fine on any ROM with the Play Store and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter I sent you. Those are the only things you need to install when you flash a new ROM or update. All of the other Google Apps are already included in Huawei's stock ROMS. Google just released a new version of the play store and mine auto updated to the new one. Everything is still working though like it should. When Huawei releases the new version in their App Store I'll grab it and add it to my roms.
What happens is
I install a popular app from play store, let's say Facebook
Installs fine, but as soon as I try to run it it force closes instantly.
I'm on stock 7.1.2, rooted, only modification is AdAway.
Happens with a lot of apps, but a lot of apps also just start normally.
Any ideas where to start? What could the issue be?
I have a lot of random FC also. A ton of app updates too. Figured it was just a new OS thing...

Did you recently flash 7.1.2? and if you did, did you dirty flash it over another rom or completely wipe your device and clean flash it?

Did you find this information somewhere? What did you do to fix things? Turn off Android System Web View?
Figured out myself, for some reason it doesn't show in Google Play, and as such doesn't update, but if I search for it manually in Google Play then I can see it and update it, altrough it still doesn't show under installed apps in G Play.
