Just got the Note 8 a few weeks ago when I saw it on sale and loving it but having some issues with the most recent round of updates to some Google apps. Looked through the threads but did not see anything regarding this so apologies if it has been covered.
This started with the update to Google Search (Google Now) a week or so ago. Once it updated I couldn't use google search or open google now, it would always force close. I unistalled the update and it worked again. Later it reinstalled and now the updated version is working.
Then came the update to Google Chrome. Same thing, Chrome begins to open but before it fully loads it force closes. Unfortunately reverting and then getting the updates again hasn't helped on this one.
Finally, I got the Google Keyboard update last night and this one was even worse. I had Google Keyboard set as my default and not only would it not open up and kept giving me force close errors it also seemed to really hurt system performance. It took two or three touches to get anything to respond. I went in and disabled the Google keyboard and system performance returned to normal.
Has anyone else seen these types of issues? Is there something I need to do to resolve them? I can live without the keyboard but really missing Chrome.
(Note 8 is completely stock, no root)
OK,
As for Google updates...
Keyboard should not update, as it is not part of the OEM package.
You may have to do a factory reset and let the tablet auto update before reinstalling. Some updates may not start right away, may take a few hours to show.
Once they start you should be good with the google stuff.
Yes I have also got problem described at OP. Have to Uninstall updates applied on Chrome, Google translate etc.

I know that the Google Keyboard isn't part of the OEM package, I've installed it and of course it was going to update since they just pushed a new update to Google Play. it was working just fine until the most recent update just like Search and Chrome were. It just seems that there seems to be some incompatibility with something in the Note 8 and several of the recent updates. Similar comments from Note 8 users can be seen on the Play store comments about these updates.
After continuing to play with it I think I have Chrome working again, at least for now, after unistalling updates, reinstalling updates, clearing data on the app, etc. Considering other comments of similar problems on play store just thought I would check here with people and see if anyone here had any previous experience with Note 8 having issues like this since I am new to the particular device.

Well, I have always had issues with Chrome and the most of all Music Player, and never bothered with googles keyboard.
All other updates worked fine for me. I am using the latest search with enhanced voice, maps, earth.
I have used Dolphin browser and found it worth while, but replaced it with the latest Firefox. It may be a bit cumbersome, but it does make good shortcuts to book marks and is the best at emulating a Desktop browser, plus there are plugins galore if you go that route.
Just curious if anyone has run into this. Recently rooted and removed bloat and switched to android L boot animation,but on restart it keeps telling me gapps have stopped but all gapps still on y phone work perfectly fine.Anyone know what the problem could be?Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
i have the same issue. doesn't seem to mess anything up, but kind of confusing and annoying
Same here. It comes up after every reboot.
Same here. blah.blah.gapps has stopped error when rebooting my stock AT&T G3.
Same here on D855.
I'm rooted via ioroot and removed a bunch of bloatware.
same here and it happened on my G Flex after upgrade to 4.4.2 also. I got it to stop on accident. I don't know "which" did it, but the first pop up of that error I started uninstalling pre-installed (or disabled the system apps). I think it really has something to do with the hangouts update to google play services. It didn't happen at all in the store, it wasn't until I got home and started updating/installing apps. If you have this problem and aren't on sprint we can then narrow it down to the added google services above Gmail, youtube, maps or play store app since I use those everyday and none of the other apps "google" apps.
I also do not think its any of the LG Default software as I installed some of it again (or re-enabled) to check out if I liked it and the error hasn't come back. So if you could please, uninstall/disable hangouts and the google play services update that is required for the 4.4.2 release of it and let me know. I also installed nova launcher but I am almost 100% positive I installed it after I fixed the app stop responding error... sorry I am all over the place, I wasn't really paying attention to it I was just doing what I always do with a new phone. Playing with it.
You said you removed bloat? I had that same issue when I converted play store to a user app via tibu. I think I had also tried to convert play services to a use app. That's what will cause it to crash like that. If you deleted or converted play store this would be the cause of the force close of gapps

Just cleared the google play store services data and the error went away.
My friend with a g2 has been having the same issue lately. I've tried clearing downloads data and cache as well as play store to no avail...its annoying but a small quirk in the long run

I just upgraded to the TMO G3. I started getting this error upon reboots after I installed the Google Keyboard. Possible culprit?

See if he has Google Keyboard installed. If he does, uninstall it then reboot. That should fix it. For some reason, Google Keyboard is causing this popup.
Actually I think it's LG Keyboard. When I froze that app in Titanium Backup and restarted I always get the gapps crashed error. After Defrosting this app, I never get that error. I don't think it has anything to do with the Google Keyboard.
Been searching a solution with no luck. When I try to update, or download new apps, I get an error for the google play store saying "APP NAME" could not be downloaded due to an error. (963). I have tried removing my google account and clearing cache in TWRP then readding my google account, but it still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm in the same boat with no real solution yet,... I'm working on it though. Tried clearing cache and reinstalling rom to no avail.
If you say you reflashed and it still didn't work try a full format. The problem could also lie in your account. Try your account in another phone (if available) or try creating a new account. Also it's strange that no mention of this error (963) can be found anywhere
I just started getting this error very annoying. Running stock, not rooted, htc one m8

I'm having same issue I can't download or update from the play store. I'm on an htc one m8 rooted s off running latest bad boyz rom. I never had the problem before til after I updated the Rom.
I'm getting this error too.
Is there any fix for that ?
I've also been getting this silly error lately. Seems that the connection keeps dropping the whole time and it constantly re-downloads the app/update. Just to have it throw out the error after a while.
I've got the updates to download eventually, after uninstalling the Google Play updates form apps in settings. After that it removed the generic Google Play icon from desktop/app drawer and replaced it with vendor.android.etcetc. At which point I could download the update fine but as soon as it started to install the entire Google Play crashed. It did this 3 times though, afterwards it installed the update fine and for some reason even the "Google Play" icon is back at homescreen/app drawer.
Don't know if it's a feasible solution but it worked for me to do updates. Seems like only HTC One m8 specific problem for now? I ran the updates at the same time from 4 devices(Galaxy S6 Edge, Note 10.1 tablet and a local carrier made android phone(cheapy in other words)). It worked on all of them except the HTC One M8.

You had the problem on 4 devices with the same Google account connected?? Have you tried switching to another Google account? Or have two added and changing the account?
I had this last night. I fixed it by uninstalling the updates to Play Store and clearing it's data/cache.
As an aside I had updated Play Store from APKMIRROR prior to this problem.

No, I said it seems like it might only be a HTC One M8 specific problem. I ran the same update on 4 devices(For a game) and the only one that had the error was my HTC One M8, all of the other devices updated all their various updates without any problems at all.
4 Devices, 4 different Google accounts. Only the M8 had error when updating.
Though by the looks of the post by Chris it seems that uninstalling the Google Playstore updates worked for him as well. Don't know if it might be a problem that crept in with the latest updates to M8 devices for Play store, but even if that is the case then I don't know why there aren't more people complaining about the same issue.
Just started having this particular problem as well. Had a similar issue earlier on but with a different error code and if I restarted my phone, I could download apps again no problem. Now, the only way for me to fix the problem is by uninstalling the updates to the Play Store. Wonder what the issue is.
Just trouble shooting here but, what kind of apps has everyone been having this problem with? I've only tried to download games recently and continue to have this problem. Every now and then one works. Gonna try some other kind of apps now and report back.
I'm also having trouble with the same error code. :/ I uninstalled an app and tried to reinstall it and this error code came up. I'm pretty sure last night several apps updated just fine though, so it's very strange. I'm just trying to download a free game that I haven't really had any trouble with before. I'm also on a m8. Clearing the search history and turning off WiFi didn't work.
Sorry to sound like a noob, but a couple people mentioned uninstalling the latest Google play store update but I have no idea how to go about doing this. Any help with that would be appreciated.
Update: Got it working again. I uninstalled the latest play store updates, opened it back up, got a different error code (906). Cleared the cache, uninstalled, opened back up and then it worked. Don't really know why.
Hi,
I had the same problem, too with my HTC One M8 (on Android Revolution HD 41.0). Uninstalling the Play Store Updates eventually worked for me. Though, for some reason I had to uninstall them twice. The reason could have been that at the first time, I had stopped the Play Store App previous to uninstalling the updates (only at the second time, when I didn't stop the app beforehand, a seperate uninstalling screen popped up).
Cheers
Update: It seems that it only worked for a short time. I could only install one app(which definetly didn't work beforehand) after about 15 minutes I tried to install another app which didn't work; however, when I repeatedly uninstalled the Play Store updates I could install the second app as well. Maybe the Play Store silently installed some updates in the meantime!? :/
Does anyone know how to prevent the Play Store from installing updates of itself automatically until the whole issue is fixed?
I have the same problem from today ,witch I think come from that I updated Google Play Service.
My fix
The way I fixed it was by deleting the files already downloaded (they accumulate after failed download to big amounts of memory) in ''HTC One_M8\Internal storage\Android\obb'' (you might want to delete updates from your Play Store app as well just in case).
name of the folder you want to delete might be hard to find but easy way to find it is by searching for the name of the publisher of the app you are trying to delete which you can find in play store on the app's page
hope it helps, good luck
I've uninstallled Google play store updates and cleared the cache, it is now fixed
error 936
I thing I found the problem. Some app put information on SD card. I remove the app information on SD card (move dack to internal Memory). Then I download the update. The update OK,no problem.

You are absolutely right!
I have experienced this weird issue after moving to SD a lot of apps. So to sort it out it is necessary to uninstall and then install the each app from the playstore or just move them back to the internal storage before updating.
Updated to Marshmallow, Tuesday with no problems. On Wednesday updated a bunch of apps including the Google app. decided to try the Google now launcher, so I uninstalled Nova launcher. downloaded Google now launcher. Now my Google app is gone from my phone. when I go to the play store I get the message that this version is not compatible with my phone!!! Any ideas or help???
+1 My Verizon G4 Marshmallow update was extremely problematic. A bunch of apps, mostly Google, but others disappeared from my phone leaving the orphan icons in the App drawer and Google Now (and On Tap) doesn't work. Try installing the Google Now Launcher to to see what happens, GNL says I need a newer version of the Google Search App and the Play Store says it's incompatible with my device. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
Similar issue here also, my apps disappeared from the play store, Google was one in particular. However, since then, about 30 minutes ago I was flooded with app updates, Google being one of them.
I have this problem with my Android Wear sometimes. On a fresh G4 firmware, Android wear barks it needs Play Services or something updated, but the app says Up to Date, eventually it starts updating and starts working. Perhaps it is doing stuff in the background, similar to how Play Store gets updated behind the scenes. Once a few Google Apps get updated, the rest filter through like normal.
I am hesitant to take the MM upgrade because of lack of root. I am not currently rooted, but the thought of never having the option again makes me think twice.
Its started working after a battery pull..
Any ideas what this could mean¿?
I've been getting that all day today as well, wonder if it means theres a bug with the date or something?
I m guessing it has something to do with an update of Google App. I get the same error when opening it.
OMG, this has been happening to me all day as well and it's been driving me nuts. I've tried everything to fix it; reverted to the non-beta Google app, cleared the Google app cache/data, cleared Google Play Services data, and eventually reset my watch (twice). The Google app starts working again (though no feed cards) but then the watch installs "Your feed" and the problems begin again.
I'm on a Pixel with Oreo, for what it's worth.
Facing the exact same problem, reset twice as well, once the "your feed" is installed on the watch, i keep getting the error, i think the your feed is the app that pushes the google card to the watch? coz i don't see any of the google card appearing on the watch after getting those error, and i don't know how to disable the app as well
I have the same problem! for 3 days in a row this notification is appearing every minute! any solution?
I'm having this too...
Someone has to get a logat to see what app is doing this...

It's the Google app. Try opening it, you'll get the same error...
I'm hearing this is from the beta version of the Google application. Is everyone here opted into the beta version?
I am, yes. Uninstalling the beta version updates didn't help though, presumably because the watch hadn't synchronised any changes.
Same Story...
I've also had this same error for about three days, ever since the latest Google app update. Did a factory reset, and the error started again once the Google app installed fresh. My wife has a Moto 360 Sport, and the Google app on her watch now has 'Your Feed' by the G logo. I'm wondering if they made some Wear 2.0 specific change that's not compatible with Wear 1.0? I am using a Pixel XL with my SW3, for what it's worth.
Can confirm that the Google app is broken on AW. Everytime I manually start the app out crashes. Looks like Google has some more work to do. But hey, that's what betas are for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Opting out of the Beta program for the Google app, uninstalling the beta version, and then waiting a little while for the changes to sync to my SW3 appears to have fixed this for me and I can now open the Google app on my watch without getting the error. Unfortunately, this has also reset my home screen layouts and removed all my widgets

I'm using the beta as well. Haven't tried downgrading yet.
Finally found people with the same problem!
My Samsung Gear Live has been just permanently on a white screen saying my feed has stopped and the whole thing is literally unusable. It's been like this for about a week, and i've unpaired, resetup, cleared cache, rebooted and even uninstalled as many apps as I could via debugging. I did not uninstall "google search", but if it's not a root app I will try that now!
My ASUS Zenwatch is doing the same thing!

The beta Google app on my Pixel XL updated last night, and since the update the white screen "your feed has stopped" hasn't come back, but if I try and run the Google app on my SW3, it immediately kicks to the error screen. So the Google app still won't run on my watch, but the constant error screen has gone away. Looks like the Wear 1.0 version of the app still needs some polish.
LG G

Same problem. I switched watch faces to something from a company called HuskeyDEV. Prior I had a face that came from Android Wear. Since then it's only happened 1 time. Before it was every few minutes. No idea the switch might work, but it seems to. Just sayin
OK, so the very latest (23rd) Google app update seems to have resolved it for me. I uninstalled the Google app from the watch via adb and it didn't crash, then I let the google update go through and my watch then said that "feed" was installed and it hasn't crashed in 24 hours. Previously it would ONLY display the crash screen and was completely unusable.

Well it crashed again today, in an endless crash loop. I have uninstalled Google Search via adb again and it's fine for now.
Opting out of the Beta for the Google app might be the only permanent solution. I don't mind the bugs that come with beta's, but this one is making the watch useless. =-[
