2.Clear cash in play store and service.
3.Clear data in play store and service

I had a similar issue after I rooted my phone, but after I uninstalled the update that was applied to the Google play store, Google play worked just fine for me.

Go into recovery Volume Up + Power button. What options do you have in there?

tried to reset app preferences from the settings menu of the application manager?

Seen this previously on a Note 2. Go into applications... and locate disabled apps, check to see if Download is disabled.... that may be the cause of Play Store crashing...

its as itsmikeramsay said.. happened to my note3 too.. i did the same.. enabled the downloads app.. and voila.. its working again
..Thanks xda...

Hangouts force closing

I've had my VZW Moto X for a week now and I'm having trouble with the Hangouts app. Every so often when I bring up Hangouts to read a new message, it'll pop up for a brief moment then kick me back out to my homescreen. Then will continue to do so every time I try to open the app back up until I restart my phone. I've tried clearing cache, app data, uninstalling updates, but nothing fixes it without a reboot... at least not consistently. And to top it all off... because Hangouts came preinstalled, I can't completely uninstall it to try a fresh install. This has happened at least once every other day since I've gotten this phone. I was running Dalvik until yesterday when i switched to ART. Happens using both. I used Hangouts on my 2013 Moto X without ever an issue. Any suggestions?

Strange. I had hangouts fc on me once. Today actually. But it was only once and worked fine afterwards. I refuse to update to the new hangouts. They ruined it

I had the same issue for the first day or two, then the force closing stopped.

Same here but rebooting clears it up

reboot
Had this issue like 3 or 4 times on VZW as well. Only way to open the app to send a text was to reboot, very annoying...latest verzion of hangouts.

Still having this issue. Really annoying.

So I found a quicker fix than restarting the phone. If Hangouts force closes, I open the stock android messaging app for just a moment. Then, once I've backed out of it, Hangouts magically works again without a reboot. Don't know why it works... but it does... at least on my device.

I really wish I could figure out what is causing this issue... It happens at least once a day and nothing seems to be a fix that works every time.
It seems to me that every time Hangouts force closes initially, I get a notification from the Play Store for an app update. Also, when it force closes, usually Messaging will start force closing as well if I try to open it. So incredibly frustrating...

Agree fully. I have not been able to associate it with anything but it happens daily. Drives me insane.

I'm tempted to do a factory reset, but I'm afraid I'll go through all the trouble to reset everything and it'll continue to happen. Are you using the stock launcher or something else?

I'm using the Google Experience Launcher. The fact that more people aren't complaining about it leads me to believe it must be some weird conflict between a couple apps/Google services.

Yeah I need to try and remember to get a log next time I see it.

It just happened again! I really think it's somehow tied to Play Store Update notifications. Any time I'm actively using Hangouts and it crashes, I will then immediately get a notification that I have one or more updates available in the Play Store. How could these two be connected and what can I do to sever this connection? I sideloaded the updated version of the Play Store... maybe uninstall updates?

Get a logcat when it happens. Really only way to be sure

Can you get a log cat if you're not rooted?

Yeah and I was finally able to do some digging. It's actually tied into contacts somehow, which I never had noticed before. When hangouts is auto-closing so will people, phone, and generating a new text message. Basically anything looking for contacts. Still not sure why though.

I think that for some reason it's tied to Play Store notifications. I've also had Hangouts crash while sending a MMS picture message. Don't know if these crash instances are related.

It's not tied to Play Store. I have no updates pending and I'm looking at the logcat.

Just go to app info and clear the data
It should work on most cases

Overlay Issue

installed all the samsung note 7 games. and for the most part most work fine. however a few complain about overlay and redirect you to disable it. upon disabling it and going back to the game it has reenabled itself and you can't play the game because of the overlay problem. has anyone run into this yet and if so did you solve it and how?

Usually its Facebook messenger

Whoa you upgraded too huh? When I disable the culprit and the apps/game finally open launches then I don't get the issue anymore even after enabling the culprit. Mine was swipepad and LMT

Troublesome apps

Over the last 3 days apps, specifically Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Samsung Internet and YouTube, won't function properly. They come up with pop-ups asking for a restart but they never do. An uninstall/reinstall from the Play store fixes the problem only to come back after some time. What's going on?

I noticed the same thing with YouTube. I thought it had to do with substratum theme. A complete reinstall fixed my issue as well.

This is for me a common Substratum Issue / Behavior, I've noticed this also under some LineageOS Devices.
As mentioned before a complete reinstall of the Substratum-Theme solves this in 99%, the other 1% is mostly solved by updating the Theme if an update is available.

I tried uninstalling my substratum theme but the problem persisted. It is mostly Facebook that's buggy now. I also forgot to mention YouTube but it's working at the moment. I'd really hate to have to hard reset coz I've gotten the phone to a point where I am really comfortable with it already.

I'm experiencing the same issue with WhatsApp. I've reinstalled the WhatsApp overlay, uninstalled the overlay and even completely reinstalled WhatsApp. It still crashes and asks me to 'restart WhatsApp'. The funny thing is that I'm still able to answer voice and video calls and I'm able to reply when a new notification pop ups. When I try to open the app it force closes itself.

Can someone check their voice commands in Google maps?

I have an odd issue with voice commands with Google maps and I can even reproduce it after a factory reset.
First off you need to be using the new Google Assistant.
1) start navigation to any destination
2) while in Google maps full screen use the voice command via hotword or mic button to change to a different destination
3) it'll confirm that it changed the route but won't actually do it.
It'll work if maps is minimized or you're in a different app while navigation is running in the background.
I can fix it if I install Google app version that appears not too have the new Google Assistant but then I lose things like continued conversation and the new GA animation.
Has anyone experienced this or can anyone test it? A factory reset did not fix the issue.

Confirming the issue here as well. Quick work around is to just tap X on the current navigation then voice command the next location.
