So they seemingly fixed the annoying Google Play Services bug with an update earlier today. However I also just received an update to the main Google app (to version 8.3.14.21.arm64) and I pretty much can't type more than a few letters - or occasionally a few words - into the Google search field (whether accessed through the search bar or from the main Google Now feed pane) without an instant crash back to the home screen.
Only way to use Google search now for me is the old fashioned round-about way through a web browser.
Anyone else having this problem?
First time in seven years I've had a smartphone that wasn't a Samsung and I'm almost immediately hit by two of the most obnoxious Google app issues I've had in years. Good thing I'm not paranoid...
Uninstalling and reinstalling the updates for Google appears to have fixed the issue.
That was unfortunately a temporary fix. It's back to crashing whenever I type a few letters in the search field.

Hello,
I am using a Nexus One with Cyanogen 6 RC3 on it. I have also flashed the google apps addon pack in order to have those apps.
My problem is the following; Two days ago I was able to use google maps navigation without problem. However now, anytime I use two addresses in Canada (where I live) for "Get Directions", the "Navigate" link never pops up. However the Navigate link is available when I use two US addresses. This is especially weird because if I access the Navigation app directly from my app drawer, I am able to use navigation between canadian addresses.
Just 2 days ago I was able to use navigation from within google maps and suddenly I am no longer able to. People have said to re-install google maps but I cannot seem to uninstall the maps application. Should I reflash the google apps pack?
Further, I apparently had auto updating enabled for maps but am unaware of any update that was applied.
Any help to be able to use the Navigation from within google maps within Canada would be greatly appreciated. I hope it is clear what my problem is, if you need more clarification please ask
Im not sure what the rule is about first replying to your own thread however I do have an update.
I re-flashed the latest google apps pack found here xttp://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/
The pack was the same one that I originally flashed however it seems after flashing now I have navigation functionality from within Google maps again. I am happy to have my problem resolved currently but I am curious as to why my Navigation functionality disappeared in the first place.
Hopefully someone knows or can explain what happened so I can prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thank again for all your time
you can try flashing RC2 back, couse many people are facing this issue!
I'm still experiencing this issue. I switched to Enom's rom to see if it fixed it but nope. My Google maps navigate link is sometimes available and then just doesn't show up other times. I am able to use the navigate app. I tried uninstalling maps with titanium backup and redoenloading it from the market, but I still have the problem with navigate.
Maybe I'm going mad but I'm sure when I first used my Urbane there was a Google Maps app. However now Maps isn't in the app list. The only way I can get it up is to trigger a set of directions thorough "OK Google" . Does anyone have maps show in the list? (I.e next to Weather, Alarm, Settings, Google, Play Music etc)
No maps app here too.
Same here, but here's how I fixed it.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Google Maps. Then I resynced apps on my Android Wear app. I appeared as an option a min later!
I had to do the same thing with Google Music
Thanks. I tried uninstalling, and then reinstalling and resyncing, no luck.
I'm also missing other apps (I think) does Whatsapp, Ubur or Shasam have apps for wear? Hard to tell if I missing them or they just don't have a way to launch on the watch....
You need the latest version of maps and android wear. I removed the watch from android wear, reset the watch, paired them again, it worked. Also got an update that up to now it had been saying did not exist and a few other oddities fixed. I'm not sure why I didn't do this before, I suppose because I'm used to it being a bit of a chore to reset a rom on the phone and I need to recalibrate my thinking for the watch/android wear. It only takes a minute to get the reset going, check back in about 15 minutes to pair with phone, check back in after a while and its done. Knowing what I know now I'll likely do this every so often just to see what new apps will be pushed to the watch and if it will pick up an update.
Hi everyone.
I'm at a bit of a loss here. I've had 2 issues with Google apps on this phone. One is regarding Calendar which was force closing as soon as I tried to edit an event. Others on here had the problem and advised a factory reset which I wanted to avoid.
Yesterday however, Google Drive seemed to stop seeing Sheets, Docs etc as when you try to create a new document, those options don't appear. This also means I can't use Drive to edit any document however if I open Docs or Sheets directly I can access the same files and edit them.
I use Drive a lot so I bit the bullet and did a factory reset this morning.
Everything was okay and both apps seemed fine again, however for no apparent reason (I rebooted just now), Drive is broken again.
Calendar is still fixed but I have no idea what's going on. It's like Drive can't see that Docs and Sheets are installed.
Has anyone experienced this or got any ideas?
Aaaaand Google Calendar is broken again. I changed the colour of each if my calendars and unselected my Hotmail calendar. Force closes now every time I try to open an event to edit.
Just checked my Google Drive and it's allowing opening of Sheets files, also never had the Calendar issue, I have multiple shared calendars in action with my account as well.
no problems with either - if you have an o365 account you could install excel and onedrive to see if any issues
The problem isn't that I can't open the files though as if I open the apps Docs or Sheets, they'll open and edit fine. When in the Drive app though, if you try to create a new item, I only get options for an upload, photo or new folder and no sheet. Likewise when clicking on a text document, it opens in the built in Drive viewer but not the Docs editor.
It's like Drive isn't seeing that the other apps are installed.
Very odd. Not sure if it's related to the calendar issues other had. I've tried all sorts of combinations of changing permissions and battery saving etc but to no avail.
So I figured it out and it was my own fault - I was in the Google Play Services beta.... Latest update broke maps showing in other apps (that's what helped me work it out as it gave an error about play services updating) as well as giving my calendar and drive issues.
Posting in case others come across this issue!
That's a definite bummer. I have not yet experienced that. I certainly hope I won't.
One of the first things I did when I got my P20 Pro last Saturday, April 28 was to STOP all auto-updates, including the auto-update of apps.
What I have in mind, if was in the same situation, would be to factory reset the unit. Then deactivate the auto-update feature. I'm not sure if it'll work with others, though.
Have you tried getting in touch with Huawei yet?

So the effect I am getting is when I open the sheet from google drive it shows a previewed sheet, but not actually a valid file you can edit (i.e. it's still using drive not sheets) - you can choose 'open with Sheets' and then it does open in sheets. You can also open the web browser version and it prompts you to 'Use App' with a button. I can't get it to open into Sheets without an additional tap - it definitely did before...
If you look at the recent reviews, it's not just P20 pro which has issues with maps

Ever since Play store changed Interface and got rid of hamburger menu I have been experiencing weird annoying problem. Let's say I type something in search bar, I instantly get the search results suggestions , I click on the suggestion I get the results, but then if I wanna add something to my search request in the bar ,another word,number or even space,as soon as I add another single character the Play store crashes. I tried all the usual fixes, clearing data ,cache,uninstalling Play store,Play services,download manager.After Play store gets automatically reinstalled,for a while I get Interface with the hamburger menu and I have no problems but then it gets changed to new interface after few hours and the problem returns.Any tips would be appreciated. Running non rooted LG velvet 5g on Android 11.
Hi guys, I followed the guide to install Google play. Not sure if this is normal but I am getting a "Google Play services requires an action - Please complete action required by Google Play Services" notification every few seconds so I need to keep the phone on silent or else it will keep pinging a notification noise every few seconds. Any ideas what I can do to remove it? Do i need to reset the phone to factory settings and reinstall the Google Play? Also, i tried using Google Maps but as soon as I open the app, it crashes within 3 seconds - I tried using Petal Maps but it is so confusing.
Also, is there an option for me to install a full english OS on it ? I have a P20 pro UK version and it seems quite different to the OS I have on my Mate X (China version)
Finally, any ideas if I can change the keyboard layout? Having moved from a Samsung Galaxy Fold, I find myself pressing the "full stop" on the Mate X's keyboard a lot! Wouldn't mind changing the layout back to Samsung/ something similar
You knew it was Gookill when you installed it
Try clearing Google play Services data.
Clear system cache.
Pray to the pagan google gods, maybe a sacrifice or two.
Try updating it... more sacrifices.
Resist the urge to reset as the issue is likely to reoccur, find the root cause... more sacrifices.
The Samsung keyboard is one of the best. Been using basically the same one for 7 years. One of the reasons I run Sammy's.

Cool but completely so off topic... which will likely get your post removed.
