[Q] Share button problem kitkat - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I updated to kitkat in some apps the share button only launches the gmail new email composer, not the share chooser, even after I reinstall the app. Does anyone else has this problem?

Same problem with stock kitkat on N4

Well I made a complete reflash of the factory image and now everything works fine. Don't know why it was though

I'm also experiencing this problem all of a sudden.

If anyone else is having this problem, this fixed it for me:

Go to Settings-->Apps-->3 dot menu and hit "reset app preferences". This will clear all sharing defaults.
Apparently, either there's a bug in Kitkat or an app that auto defaults sharing to the app you last shared to. So if you shared something to G+ before the bug kicked in, all subsequent shares go to G+ without "share" menu popping up.

[Q] [HELP] Google Search has stopped (tried all the fixes...)

Running stock 4.2.1, stock kernel.
Cleared cache and dalvik, rebooted back into rom.
Now Google Now force closes. If I clear data on "Google Search" app, and select not to enable Google Now, all is well.
As soon as I try to enable it, it crashes.
Tried fix permissions, didn't work.
Also disabled location settings, and allowed me to open google now.
Next I enabled settings, but only GPS. This worked as well.
Once I had GPS AND wifi, it crashed again.
Tried removing updates, restarting, clearing google framework data, etc.
What am I missing?
can't launch google now
I just started getting the same problem today. I can't launch the Google Search app without it immediately crashing (Unfortunately Google Search has stopped. Report / OK). If I reset data on the app I can launch it again until I turn on Google Now after which it crashes immediately again.
I'm on a stock Nexus 4, boot loader never been unlocked, not rooted, etc. I can't seem to find any other mentions of this problem anywhere.

Anyone else? I've been driving myself nuts trying to fix it!
Thinking of just dirty flashing stock again...
I'm pretty sure it's a server side problem with Google Now data that is causing the app to crash.

What I figured. Now I'm missing my Nexus 7 from the My Devices tab. Somethings going on. Just can't find any news/reports of it.
Yeah, I don't understand why nobody else is encountering this problem.
This thread is the only relevant result in web search.
There are 3 other people encountering the same issue on Google+ but I cannot post links because I just created this account.
Search for "google now crashes" on Google+ and you should see a few others with the same problem but no solutions.
My gs3 started doing fc'ing after I installed a new room. Hope it is something server side because I can't fix it.
Problem seems to have fixed itself.

Strange Gmail update?

Dear forum,
I'm having a strange issue with gmail and I haven't seen any other references on the forum.
About a week ago, Gmail auto-updated in the Play store, and since that time the icon changed to a "postage stamp" with a "G" on it. The application itself is now dark-themed in the conversation list, though the message text background is still white (the dark/light issue makes some of the text difficult to read).
This application is really broken now, and I don't see anyone else complaining about it, so I'm curious why this ended up on my tablet.
I've tried wiping the data and cache and reinstalling google apps -- the old Gmail is restored, but when I reboot the bizarro Gmail comes right back.
Has anyone experienced this? I'm worried about some malicious app update, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I'm rooted on stock with the latest updates.

I'm afraid I haven't heard of any issue like this.
If you're reinstalling google apps (I'm assuming via flashing through a recovery), are you sure you're using an official / trusted package from a trusted source?
If the G-apps package is from a malicious or untrusted source this may explain why you can't uninstall it correctly and it has that weird type of persistence.
You can always get a trusted version of the G-apps package from the Goo Manager app from the play store (The app is free and without ads!).
I hope this helps in some way. Sorry I can't offer a more direct answer

Nexus 4 - You don't have any devices - Google Play website

Anyone help with this annoying problem I'm recently experiencing?
I've never had this problem before, but for no reason (i've not installed any apps recently or changed ROM) I am unable to install apps to my phone via my PC google play browser.
All I get is 'You don't have any devices' - and when I try install an app it says 'You haven't accessed the Google Play Store app (the white shopping bag icon) on your device with this email account.
Clearly I have because I just installed a free game from my phone and I can the see the game installed from the PC play store browser in my apps list.
I have tried forcing the Google Play app to stop and clearing data, logging out of my PC browser and trying again but no luck, I have reinstalled GAPPS and my ROM with a cache/davlic wipe but same results.
All I can think of is because my original email was c......... @googlemail.com and one day it asked me if I wanted c........ @gmail.com and to merge the two accounts together, which I clicked yes to. So when setting my phone up for the first time I use c........ @googlemail.com but then it shows up as c......... @gmail.com when I look at my account settings....
Really annoying problem!!
same issue with Galaxy Note II
No, it's not because of changing email addresses. It has to do with changing ROM.
I changed my ROM from samsung note II, to CM10, and this problem started occurring. I'm also thinking it has something to do with titanium backup breaking market links

I don't know if it's the ROM. I've tried many ROMs on my Nexus 7, Nexus 4, and Galaxy Ace, sometimes even switching everyday of the week and I've never one had this issue.
I'd talk to Google support if I were you. The only thing I have issues with is my device list. It shows two Nexus 7s because my first one died after 7 days and I had to exchange it for a new one, which also activated... and you can't remove devices from your account.
Titanium Backup "market doctor"
Could it be Titanium Backup's market doctor? Perhaps this problem started when I linked all system and user apps to the market.
It also shows a really old nexus 7 that I've sold long ago. Notwithstanding, I can still use Google play on my device without any issue.

I've never used TB market doctor because all of my backups linked properly to the market when I restored them. I would guess that isn't the issue though, because all it does is repair link to the market so apps show up as downloaded and can be updated.
It sounds like it could be an account issue with the email/merging thing you did.
spoke to google
I spoke to google for a long while: while I was not able to to see my phone listed under "my devices" they were able to see it on their end. All I could see was 4 devices that I have long ago stopped using.
They speculate that it could be an error with a recent update to the Play.google.com site....
here is what they recommend:
Uninstall updates to
GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK
GOOGLE PLAY STORE
They also asked me to wipe data.
They asked me to reboot - and - now I'm still waiting for the auto play-store update. Currently does not seem to have solved the problem.
Anyone else having these issues?
<<hangouts will require the updated play-store in order to work>>

Go into settings > apps > all, and select Google Play Store
Force stop and clear data.
Then open the play store again on your device and accept the terms and conditions.
Wait 15 minutes or 30 minutes or 1 hour, you will see your device.

HyperDrive Questions (2)

Hello,
I just installed v5.5 of HyperDrive thru SS. When I start it, I expect it to ask if I have a Google account so it can retrieve my old settings but it did not. I then clicked on the GMail app and it then asked if I had an account. I went ahead and entered my info. I would think that it would then start downloading all the apps I have on my stock rom but it did not! When I installed build 6 of Jelly Beans, it did download all my apps. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
My second question is what is the lock icon on the top right of the screen and do I need to do something with it?
Thanks!
You should post your questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521123 It's a support thread dedicated to Hyperdrive ROM.

Try going to Settings - Accounts to see if your Google account shows within there. Tap it and review your checkmarks for what you want to sync(contacts, browser etc)
If that all looks ok, try removing the account and adding it back via Settings - Accounts (rather than gmail method) which should give you the account wizard to restore your apps

Hi,
First I want to thank you for trying to help me. I did what you said to try and nothing at all happened. I even deleted my account and re-added it but the Play Store won't send me my apps. Can't understand why i'm having such problems with HyperDrive but Beans is working like a charm??
Thanks

I basically have the same screen as you but mine hasCalendar, Contacts, Gmail, People Details, & others. I keep clicking on the sync now button but nothing really happens as far as downloading my apps. Could there be an issue with the Play Store app itself?
To be honest, I'm getting real close to removing this ROM and just stick with Beans.
Thanks!!

It seems like it could be an issue with something within gapps like you said. Yeah I'd clean flash hyperdrive again if that's what you wanted, i have no issues on a clean flash/adding my account after first boot like you seen in the screenshot

This is actually the third time I've installed this ROM. I guess I can delete it again and re-install it. If this still does not solve my problem, I think I'll wait until the next build comes out.
I appreciate the time you taken to assist me.

Play Store stuck at download pending...

I hope someone can help. Since buying my SM-G975U at release, every several days, Play Store updates get stuck at download pending. The only way to get them downloading again is to uninstall updates to the Play Store app. Then, updates will install as expected for a few days, but then this will happen again.
I just factory reset my phone, installed all updates and installed apps one by one rather than restoring from a backup, and I'm back to the same issue.
What else can I try to fix this??
Thanks for any assistance.

Yeah, I've tried it just about every time this has happened, and it's never fixed the problem. Yet that seems to be the most common fix. Thanks for the suggestion and quick reply.

It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one. Sure wish there was a clear problem/solution.
In sifting through Google searches, I read something about disabling Android Setup. I read someone else say the problem might be having two launchers (I use Nova), but I've always had two launchers on my phone.
I'll have to try changing wifi networks next time it happens.
Actually, I have two launchers too, Nova being my main one and Dodol as the second although I can actually remove that now. It'd be weird if that conflicted.
I had that issue when i was running my vpn. Had to disconnect for my playstore to act normally again.

I was counting the stock OneUI launcher as one of my two (and I use a home switcher app to switch between them). But if this were really a problem, wouldn't a ton of people have it?

I wonder if that could be it. But, just like the other possible solutions, I've had PIA running on my phones for years without this problem. I wonder if setting the Play Store to bypass the VPN in PIA's per app settings might help.

I am on the May patch, and it doesn't seem to be an improvement, for sure. I believe, though, that my Play Store issue predates the May patch.
Im on the may patch, no issues here
I've had this issue before and the way I solved it is by making sure that whatever items I disabled in AdHell or PackageDisabler, to re-enable them and then restart the phone and see if the issue is still present. It was not for me, so I went down the list of disabling things again one by one. All is good now. Unfortunately I am unsure which package was it that was causing the issue, but definitely a samsung one if I am not mistaken.

Thanks. I'll give this a try. I only had disabled Flipboard, Game Launcher, and a dictionary. I've re-enabled those. They don't seem like critical apps, but it's worth a try.
I appreciate the input.
I'm having the issue from time-to-time without any third-party app that could interfere.
Rebooting is sometimes the only way to fix it.
September update here. Cleared cache on play store,in Google app, reboot. Nothing solves to me
