Settings crash every time I try to access my Google account settings - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! Today I've tryed to disable these annoying picasa notifications on my phone but I cant access to my google accounts becouse whenever I go to settings>accounts and then try and tap on "Google", I get the " unfortunately, settings has stopped working" popup. Any ideas how to fix this? Many thanks!
I've tried to restart the phone even to factory reset but those doesn't work
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505

It has been asked and answered before.
It's related to a newer update to Google play that causes the issue.
Either uninstall the updates, or, if the option is grayed out, hit disable and that will allow you to uninstall the updates.
Or you can wait until Google updates again.

Nexus 4 can't receive Google hangouts message notification

Recently, I found out I can't receive hangouts message notifications any more even I open the app. If i want to see the message i have to logout and login again. It is very annoy.
Before i can receive the message randomly sometimes work and sometimes not working. But since yesterday I can't receive the message anymore.
NB: It works well on iPhone, also on my phone other IMs work well (skype, wechat and whatsapp)
Anyone has the same problem or are there anyway to fix?
Thanks

I would start by clearing cache and data in the app:
Settings > Apps > Hangouts > Clear cache & Clear data
Settings > Apps > Google Play services >Clear cache & Clear data
Then reset the preferences in "Google Settings" and sign in and set the preferences in "Hangouts". If this does not fix the issue, you may need to remove and re-add your Google account to your phone.

Thanks, i just did the first two steps + uninstall hangouts and install again. So that works. Just wondering why? Maybe I install the new version of google play service update manually yesterday?
Cheers

[Q] Unable to install any app

I began having an issue earlier today with Google Play where I got an unknown error 110. I thought maybe it was just bad connection, but I still had the issue on WiFi. I looked around for about an hour for solutions, and found two common and relevant fixes - clear Google play cache and factory reset. I tried the first and there was nothing to clear. I then tried to install a 3rd app and it failed to open the .apk. I also made sure my phone allowed unknown sources, and my settings crashes every time I hit security. After all of this failing, I decided to factory reset, and everything is still the same, except the Google Play error is now 406 with the same effect. Is there a good way to get this fixed?
Currently using Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 with 4.4.2.

Already tried that, both before and after the factory reset. Both buttons are greyed out. I also was forced to re-add my Gmail account after the reset. Both my usual and backup Gmail accounts have the issue in the Google Play store.

I still cannot open any .apk file manually, giving the error "unable to open file". I'm not sure waiting for Google Play to update will fix this. Also what about settings->security crashing?

Google apps doesn't work at all.

I get these popups after each other constantly after factory resetting my Galaxy S5.
I haven't been able to add a Google account or anything else. I have tried clearing all data and caches from all applications on the phone to no avail. I have also tried all the "fixes" i could find.
Does anyone have any idea at all how i fix this? Is the phone broken? Why haven't Google addressed this issue at all?
This is getting mighty annoying.
Thanks for any help

Have you tried deleting your Google account via settings >> accounts and deleting data under settings >> application manager....then setting up again?
And Google haven't addressed the issue as probably nobody else is having problems......If they were, we'd see a whole flood of threads on here mentioning it.......which is something I haven't seen........

Actually if you google "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped." you'll see that i'm not the only one experiencing this.
I did manage to solve the problem though. Turns out i could use KIES to repair and update the firmware of the Galaxy S5.

Urgent: Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped.

Hello,
Whenever I am switching on my Location service/GPS to high accuracy mode, I am getting this popup which says "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped." And also the GPS is not working either. I am not being able to locate myself on the map. Since I have my exams starting next week and I use Ola/Uber to travel it is really essential for me to have this issue solved at the erarliest.
Please see, recently I also got this message "Unfortunately, CM logger has stopped." Although the CM logger message is not recurring the Google Play Service is a recurring error which keeps pn popping every 5 seconds. It is so irritating. Need a solution at the earliest.

you must have either flashed a custom rom over your current build or must be flashing kernel or so and since then this problem would have come up.... There is a temporary solution to it and then there is a permanent one.
Temporary : Uninstall google play services updates. If uninstall option does not become available then go to security, disable android locator or something like that in administrator options etc.. It is somewhere around in security. You will have to look a bit. Once you deactivate that you will be able to uninstall updates of google play services. Clean data of it. Reboot. Once you reboot, your phone will say some apps require google play services to run. Click on that notification and update Google Play Services.
The termporary solution may or may not work.... It sometimes worked for me but recently has not been working.
Permanent solution, take backup of your data and get back to all stock and before you have setup everything on your phone, flash kernel and reboot. If you are not facing the problem again, then resetup....
Remember, if you take backup of data, and after clean install, try to restore the data, the problem would return with greater magnitudes....
Hope I helped
All the best for your exams....
First clear data of google play services and the apps which stops automatically ....Go to settings>apps>all apps>google play services and clear data.......If this not solves ur problem ..then factory reset

Hi! I had this same issue and it was irritating the bejesus out of me. I didn't find a fix but I found a work around to get into the account sync settings: open your stock gallery app, hit your menu key, click settings and bam you're in. I hope it works for you as well!
