I'm using the NotSoStock ROM for the T-Mobile V20 version 6.5. I haven't had any issues this entire time but of recent randomly my Google app won't work. When I open it the wheel just spins with no message or indication of connecting to Google. Google Assistant will not respond to OK Google. Voice to text won't work on GBoard. The Google search bar won't work. My play store is fine Gmail is fine just seems to be everything related to the new installment of Google Assistant stops working. I'm not using greenify. I haven't installed anything different since getting this ROM running. It hasn't been updated since I've rooted. Only thing I've downloaded was a theme from the playstore. I thought maybe that was it so I removed it and went back to stock but it did it again later on in the evening after being perfect all day. Sometimes if I close all apps it will connect when reopening. But other times I have to reboot the phone. I've wiped cache and dalvik cache. Wiped app data and cache. I've tried changing the ignore status of Google services framework so it's never put to deep sleep in the settings baked into stock LG UI. I can't figure this out and it's frustrating. Can anyone help or at least let me know I'm not alone and maybe this is a Google server issue.
I have had similar behavior with Google assistant acting up, again just very recently and it used to be flawless. Must be Google update version issue. Maybe we can roll back to previous version?
I'm having the issue with the missing voice to text on Gboard. It's also missing from lgboard and I'm not able to add it to the board under settings because the mic icon doesn't exist. I know gapps is the issue, but I have no idea why. Looking for a solution.
What solved it for me was signing up for Google play services beta and the Google app beta. Been flawless since.
I'm on a stock Verizon Google pixel. W/ unlocked bootloader. I started having this issue as well. Will try to see about the beta thing you mentioned.
The only short term solution I've found is restarting my phone. But otherwise it's really inconvenient.
Hasn't seemed I've been happening as much. But my Google assistant and or Google Voice search would freeze I would have to reboot the phone to get it to work again. I'm stock Verizon v20
Gotta be an issue on Google end. Hopefully they fix it soon

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.

Same here. Cool I was nervous for a bit there.
I'm the same boat guys after installing jellybam for my sgs2 4.1.2 was working in another ROM same base going to try flashing gapps again or push a new Google search apk

What I did was download a rooted stock ROM that I was already running (cnk2). I dirty flashed it onto my tmobile s5. Surprise! OK Google Everywhere! This confirms for me that Google has deliberately killed this function on their updates, I don't know of course which updates, but I would guess very possibly the search and Google App itself.
At this point I will continue to use the un-updated Google Apps, and report back on whether this adversely affects my use of the Play Store and so on.
Anyone not using Kitkat may be able to locate a ROM that contains Google Apps old enough not to have been damaged by Google. You of course flash that at your own risk. I was already using a stock ROM and flashed the same exact ROM, original version, over my running system.
If anyone would like, I can list whatever version of system app I am using that you think might be of interest in this situation.
Update
Yesterday my phone was getting really hot and the battery use showed that Google Apps was accounting for 16% of battery usage. I did some googling and found others were having this problem. I decided to see if updating Google play services would make a change. I updated:
Google app
Google play services
Google play store
Google text to speech
Google+
Afterward with testing, I still had Google Now Everywhere. My theory now is that an update of some kind that I have "leapfrogged" in this manner may have caused the loss of Google Now Everywhere. I can go into the Google app, select settings, and under voice/"ok google" detection/ I can still retrain the voice model and select "from any screen".
A few days after a fresh install of Nougat on a new device, Voice Typing started acting funny. It's inserting ALL of the likely variations of what I'm saying in one run-on sentence. (See sceeenshot) Tried wiping cache through recovery. Have not yet uninstalled Google app. Reproduced bug on stock and 3rd party messaging and keyboard apps. Ideas?

It's not nugget, it's Google assistant
That's what I suspected. Any work around?
I have to say things 3 and 4 times with Google Search. First time it doesn't hear me the second time it doesn't hear me and the third time it's just here's the first word....
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Tried uninstalling Google App and Play Services updates, and turning off assistant. The only thing that works for now is disabling Google Voice Typing. Which then defaults to your keyboard apps built in voice to text, which is far inferior. Maybe wiping Dalvik cache?
Apparently I'm not the only one. The reviews for Google App on Play Store have plummeted since the update. Multiple users have the same complaint. Thinking about starting a petition...
I think I have a workaround, at least until Google fixes the problem. Find the Google App under Settings > Applications and Unistall Updates. This rolled me back to ver 6.7.21.21arm64. Next you're going to have to roll back Google Play Services. Download from Play Services Info app from Play Store and check your version. DON'T update through Play Store. Use APK Mirror.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...s-10-2-98-440-146496160-android-apk-download/
Select "Google Play services 10.2.98 (440-146496160)" (this one is dated early February, before Assistant role out.) Side load and soft reset phone. Just make sure you do NOT accept any updates to the Google App for now and you should be good to go. Google. Voice Typing works as expected again.
I'll keep you all updated on how this works out.
Moderators ; can you maybe move this thread to the Guides forum? Hopefully it can help more people there.
I initially noticed this on my Galaxy s6 a few weeks ago after an update. Google Voice typing stopped pausing the music player if I used the voice option to dictate a text message. It used to stop the music and continue after I was finished. Now it'll play the music in the background and it's making it hard to dictate because it will also pick up on the lyrics from the song. At first I thought my S6 was just going crazy and a factory reset would probably fix it but I just got the S8 and I am facing the same issue. Any advice?
Thanks!
Hmm... mine pauses anytime it's listening to a voice command. Never tried to text with it though.
I bet that makes for some really interesting conversations.
It does stop the music if I use the "Ok Google " command to use the assistant but it doesn't do it if I'm using it to dictate a text message.
Just did a test.....it works fine in version 6.12.25.21 which is the one that comes pre-installed on the s8. however when you update to the latest version in the play store you get the problem. i've downgraded back to the older version for now. anyone else experiencing this issue?

I'm having the same problem. This is when you activate voice within the google keyboard right? What app did you downgrade?
Well, I use the Samsung keyboard but yes, it's when you activate the voice option on the keyboard. I did try it with the Google keyboard but was getting the same problem too. The app that I downgraded was "Google". Just go into the playstore, type Google, "uninstall" the app and it should bring you back down to the version that came pre-installed with the phone. And then uncheck auto-update in the right top corner of the app screen in the playstore. That should fix it for now. Let me know if it works!

I was able to uninstall updates for the google app and yea, I was able to fix the problem. Partially. It pauses the music now when voice is activated. But when I send the message, music will not resume. Does this happen to you?
Same problem with LG G5
I have had the same issue for the past couple of weeks. When using the Google Voice typing, all media apps are no longer paused (Spotify, RocketPlayer, Podcast Addict, etc) thus Google Voice is transcribing the words coming from these media apps. I uninstalled Google App today, but then Google Voice to Text worked very poorly. Does anyone have any thoughts on solutions or workarounds? Thanks.
try installing a previous version of the google app. The galaxy s8 comes with this build standard and it works fine.
Did you guys ever find a fix for this? its driving me nuts. Im on OnePlus 3 but yeah its a new issue for me started after nougat... It seems like lots of people have the issue but are just living with it. While driving it really sucks. Used to be so easy to voice reply and pod-kicker would resume play back. Now I gotta pause first then reply voice text then hit play again ...its MADDENING. Looking for a fix. The downgrade worked for me for a short while then it just started up again. I didn't auto update google app. Tried clearing every data cache...uninstall reinstall...even different keyboards!!! same issue. Thanks guys!!!! hope we can figure it out.
The downgrade still works for me.
I have the same problem in my Oneplus 3T, I can not send voice messages while driving.
Same issue on my LG G6, BUT, for me it only does it when I'm connected to Bluetooth in my car - which is of course when you need voice recognition most. I have to manually pause the music to use it. Driving me nuts. I'm surprised they haven't released an update to fix it. I guess not a lot of people on these latest devices using voice recognition.
The downgrade still works for me but it appears it also has been fixed for me with the newest Google app update 7.3.26.21. I tried it with spotify and google music with and without bluetooth connection and it works. Stops the music then automatically resumes. Let me know if it works for you guys too.
Some of the apps dont function, they are stuck on splash screen or sometimes reach to main activity, and ANR dialog is displayed. Some of the apps that fail are google maps, chrome, uber (and every taxi app), fildo, truecaller (after navigation drawer is opened). It's feels like problem with gps, but google maps works through browser and maps.me functions too. The problem started after I droped the phone, don't know how strong was the drop I was sleepwalking. Any idea what might be problem or how can I fix it? Did factory reset and cleared dalvik cache.
Which rom do you have?
I have the same problem for about two months now. I have googled the symptoms but I can't find any answer. please help
> I have the Chinese Axon 7.
> I am using stock ROM.
> The problem existed with Android 7.1 and 8.0.
> I have Reset cache, factory reset, reinstalled google apps. but for no avail.
I've got the same issue. My Ctrip app is crashing anytime I launch it. It happens since I dropped my phone. The weird thing is that it is the only app I've got an issue with. All the Maps, taxi apps etc seem to work well
I think it's an issue with Google Play Services. As I had these issues too. The only solution is simply disable google services, clear all cache and other things , than phone prompts that the APP will be replaced by the system version, accept it. Then go to the Google Play Store and let the Google Play Services be installed and updated again.
It's a common issue among Chinese Axon 7 (A2017) users in Android 7.1.1 and 8.0(beta).
My main problem on Chinese Axon is that I can't add credit card for Google pay, I've tried to clear cache, uninstall Google services but nothing works
