I have a NEXUS 6 non rooted stock phone
I updated the Shazam app this morning and then after the phone was acting weird. I went ahead and rebooted it.
Usually, it connects to all my bluetooth and network automatically, but I had to do it manually. Weird I thought.
When I go to the play store and check my apps for updates
It gives me an error that google app has stopped, but I look into detail of the crash report, it has a crash with com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:search
When I try to access YT, it doesn't open.
I have gone ahead and wipe the cache partition,
disable and renabled google related apps.
To no avail...
Anyone experiencing the same issues?
I am trying to reinstall the Google (Search) app to see if that helps or not.
Not sure which version to install?
Google App 4.1.29.1706998.arm64
Google App 4.1.29.1706998.x86
Google App 4.1.29.1706998.arm
I'm not getting app update notifications in Play Store/my apps, anyone else? I know I have app updates available because Yandex store is listing them.
My Play Store apps have been auto-updating just fine as long as I'm on wi-fi (which is the setting I have enabled). Maybe try clearing the cache on the play store to reset the settings?

Tried that move. I don't have auto update turned on so let me try that next.
Updating now, no problem.
I need some help here, I bought an LG Urbane today and I can't get the google Wear app to work on my stock Nexus 6 6.0.1. When I install the wear app from the play store it saying google play services has stopped over and over again. I've tried installing older versions of the wear app along with clearing cache rebooting and nothing has worked.
Last night I got an update to the Google app.
Right after it installed, Google would not open. Assistant will not open and the Google feed but pressing the home button will not open.
I've cleared cache in the Google app and rebooted, no joy.
I cleared data on the Google app, Google Play Services app and Google Play Store app and rebooted, no joy.
I uninstalled updates from the Google app and rebooted, No joy.
I updated Google app, rebooted, No joy.
I've sent into phone recovery and cleared cache partition a couple times along the way.
No joy.
I realize that I'm on my way to the dreaded factory reset, but what caused this?
I'm hoping for another update to the Google app for a fix, before I resort to the dreaded FR.
I was able to download and use the Google Go "light" app.
Any ideas?

You can try using ADB and a PC to uninst5 the Google apk.
Download package Info , by police developers, to get the name of the package name for Google. Prob something like com.google.search or something
Then run this command
ADB shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.app.name.here
After it's uninstalled, try reinstalling from the app store and see where that takes you
pm uninstall is not reversible unless you do a factory reset. pm disable is.

I don't understand why I see so many people who say this. It's NOT true. Do you see that part of the code that says --user 0? That means that the app is only removed from the current user.
To go a step further, this would only even apply to apps not available from the play store. You could delete the Google app off your phone completely and still get it back from the play store, whitch is exactly what should happen if they run the line I provided.
So, tl;Dr using "pm uninstall --user 0" doesn't remove an app from the phone entirely, only from the current user of the device.
I always forget to try the SAFE Mode. Google app worked on SAFE MODE, but kept working when I came out of SAFE MODE.
Anyways, the Google app works but voice is grayed out.
ETA, it turns out that Google Assistant could not be turned on, because through all of my uninstalling SMS reinstalling of the Google app, Bixby became the default assistant app.
So exactly how did going into and coming out of SAFE MODE fix this?
I think I have it figured out.
It's a Swift Installer conflict.
If the Google app updates, before there is a Swift Installer overlay update for the Google app, the Google app asks Assistant will crash.
Once they're is a overlay update for the Google app in Swift Installer, entering works without doing any 'gymnastics'.
The Swift Installer developer has been pretty good about keeping up with Google app updates. I imagine that's a tough job!
Today, I had a Google app update that I had been putting off for several days, waiting for Swift Installer update for the Google app overlay. There was no update available inside the Swift Installer app.
I updated the Google app in the Play Store.
The Google app crashed.
I opened the Swift Installer app and the overlay update for the Google app was then available.
Without the required reboot, after a Swift Installer change, the Google app and the Google Assistant worked.
Totally awesome!
I installed Google Maps Beta app before. Then today, I wanted the original app back so I opened the play store. I searched forGoogle Maps, tapped on "uninstall" and then it uninstalled after some time. When I tried to install it from play store, it then showed an error message saying: "You cannot install this app because another user has already installed an incompatible version on this device." But I've already uninstalled the first app, cleared app preferences and deleted all folders relating to Google Maps. Maybe the app didn't uninstall completely? Please help me, I don't wanna have to reset my phone to have to use Google Maps again.
