Google app crashes immediately after saying "OK Google" - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else experiencing this? Up until recently it's worked great on any screen, including screen off. Google app version is whatever current beta is. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling app, clearing data, reboots... So far no go. Thoughts?

Yeah same issue too, but it's working perfectly on unrooted xiaomi redmi note 4, so my guess is its not working on devices with Google assistant from before when Google released it for everyone over 6.0

Just tried clearing cache and it's still crashing.
BTW I'm on the latest Pure Nexus, stock kernal, no crazy apps

Re-loaded ROM, updated everything again and all seems to be working fine. Made sure NOT to be part of the beta testing group for Google app this time.

It's the 4/12 beta update. I had to roll back to the previous one.

Good to know. Maybe I wasn't patient enough rolling back on my phone. Probably stick with the standard app now that it does what I want it to.

Hulu Plus not working on Nexus 6

I upgraded from my nexus 5 recently and put hulu + back on this device like I've done for years now. Whenever I try to play a video with the service, it plays the opening ad(s), gets to the point where the video I requested should play and nothing happens. Looking carefully, the 10 second rewind button just flashes on and off but the video never plays. I've done Google searches all morning and all I found is a Facebook page showing that this is a known bug but no one has offered a fix. I've uninstalled, cleared data, used the older version from Dec but no dice. I already emailed Hulu like 3 days ago and no response. I'm running stock but decryption is off. Any ideas?

I'm getting the same issue on the Note 3 running a custom Lillipop ROM.
Have you gotten any responses back from Hulu?

Nope, not even an automated message saying that they got the email. I would hate to think that the reason mine isn't working is because I am no longer encrypted.

I found a fix!!! You have to be rooted, though:
topherk said:
In case any of you were having issues with Hulu Plus (like I was), I found a fix for it.
Problem:
Hulu Plus will play the intro and first ad of a video, then stops and eventually crashes the app. This was happening on the 7.4 version of the ROM and was not tested on newer versions.
Solution:
By searching XDA for the issue, I found this post, which fixed the issue with me.
If you use a root explorer, or adb you can mount /system rw
Then delete vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so
Reboot and DRM will work again.
I was able to do this using the file explorer in TWRP.
Hope this helps!

Thank you very much. This fixed it for me. Does the OS recreate the file when the first program needs it again? Why does this happen in the first place?

I honestly don't know. I assume it's a file having to do with DRM. That's why it allows you to play ads and not the DRM-protected shows. The original post I referenced does not go into too much details about what it does and why it wasn't working. Since I have recent nandroid backups of my ROM, I figured I'd give it a shot. Thankfully it worked without any issues (so far, at least).

Google play services Force Closing [HELP]

I've many others with the same issue. However there is no clear fix, other than don't update.
The latest Google play services 7.5.62-66 is a force closing nightmare.
I've completely wiped. I mean converted back to ext4 from f2fs. Installed cm12.1 fresh gapps from 5/19 and still force closes.
I've wiped all data/ cache from the apk, including Google settings apk data/cache. This stops it for a while. It always comes back with a torrent of FC's .
Its happened 8 times while typing this post.
I'm at a loss.

Make sure you have the one with the correct resolution installed, link Play Services apk`s http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/.
It's happening to a LOT of people. Oddly, it seems pretty random. Many are not affected. And since Google Play Services auto-updates in the background, those of us that are affected will eventually get hit again even if we downgrade. The clear app data/cache is the only "fix" I've seen thus far.
Interestingly, it seems to only happen for me on AOSP ROMs. I've had a stock image running for days without issues. I'll probably stay on stock till Google fixes it or someone finds a more promising workaround. It's annoying, but less annoying than constant FCs.

Sucks. I about to move to stock rom. I've tried so many things to fix it and it always comes back. Some hinted it could be a gapps problem, idk.
Gonna miss all my themes and customization.
Happening to me too on Euphoria with PA mini gapps and Temasek CM12.1 with banks gapps.

It seems to work for me. I'm using MultiROM, and I've been having FCs on every ROM I've tried, as well as various issues with the "Ok Google" voice command. If it pops up again I'll be sticking to the stock partition for awhile.

Any ETA on fix ? Is it Google fault or CM ?
Yesterday everything worked OK. A few minutes ago everything went to hell.

Probably is, but it's also kind of important issue.
It's not a "not working icon bug" it's a bug that's preventing you from using your phone. Kind of important, don't you agree ?

Workaround
I come up with a workaround for Google FC - using Tasker (with Secure Settings plugin) do the following on Shutdown and Boot:
1. Kill Google Play services
2. Clear Data for Google Play services
3. Clear Cache for Google Play services
So far haven't got Google FC, will see how it goes :crying:

Same here too friend. They kill me with these updates, they fix 10 problems and create 5...wow!
Well, for what reason i have none but i rooted and then un-rooted it back to the u2 update(the newest one) set everything back up, installed office apps and viola it worked. clueless::
Best i can figure is the OTA breaks it whereas updating through odin, its fine.

Updating "Feature for Facebook"

I am frequently getting this notification Updating "Feature for Facebook". It keeps coming back even if i dismiss it. Is anyone facing same issue? What might be the solution? I have attended the screenshot as well.

Everyone is getting that bug after 10.4 update. The only solution is to wait for the next update which is in development right now and may release Oct 2nd or 3rd week. Xiaomi released a beta ROM for devices and pulled it back. A stable one is on the way. Just wait.
damnnn...haha, i though its my own fault for messing apps, etc......turns out every one got the same issue. i have tried uninstall and install again. same problem still exists. im still curious whats causing all of this
if you don't have Facebook, you will get similar notifications but for other apps, like Netflix for example. And if you uninstall that too, it will be for Chrome...
No fix that i know of.
I also thought that i was the only one who is getting this message. I too uninstalled play store and Facebook and reinstalled them but still getting same error. Seems like OS bug after update to 10.4 as this wasn't the case for previous OS version.
Guess we will have to wait for another OS update

This is one of plenty of bugs in the 10.4 update which includes frequent restarts, overheating issues, fingerprint scanner slow etc. Hopefully the update will come this month and rectify all issues. Till then no option but to bear with the bugs.

I tried your way but still can not solve the problem.
I am using redmi k20 pro with eu xiaomi rom 9.11.7
From the beginning, i think using beta Facebook can solve the problem but 1 or 2 days later the issue is back and still happen.
Maybe you are lucky.
Unistal Facebook , clear cache / data in Facebook services (system app) , clear cache / data in Play Store . Then reboot phone and instal FB from play store .

Redmi 10x pro 5G. Miui12.0.2 push notification problem and some Google service

After upgraded to 12.0.2. I found my Google service didn't work as normal. I decided to reinstall one by one apk again ( Google play service, framework, account, contact, calendar, play store). After that Google service seem to be fine but only one day. Got error for Google play service missing and play store can't sign in. So, I turn off miui optimization and reinstall Google service again after that Google seem to be fine. But the main problem for me is after 12.0.2 push notifications doesn't work anymore ex line app ( call, message ). If leave mobile for 2-3 minutes , I won't get notifications anymore until enter to the app again. ( Already set battery optimization-off, run in back ground, notifications- important). Any suggestions are welcome.
The only suggestion i have is to downgrade to android 10 again (12.0.2.0 was an upgrade to android 11).

I just got the notification for the 12.5 update are your gapps still working? Mine worked for a while after deleting and reinstalled google play services. Downloading and installing again could fix your line issues.

Hi MadruggoticTw:
With 12.5.2 my gapps still working and system so smooth. Could you please explain more for the way to fix notifications problem of Line Application. Just only reinstall Google play service? Which version of Google play service? I just curious why Google can cause problem on line application. By the way i appreciate to try.
