Latest Google Search kills MoPho stock application drawer - Motorola Photon 4G

Has anybody noticed that clicking the hardware Search button force-closes the Home Screen app when application list is open? Uninstalling the google search update fixes that.

I sure does.........
I'm a MoPho-er

The question is, is it a Moto issue or a Google issue...
If it's a Google issue, an update should fix it.
If it's a Moto issue, it won't be addressed until the next OTA, whenever that is. Hell, it might not even be addressed at all.
The bigger question is, does Google or Moto even know about the issue?

[Q] After JB update, play store crashing

To start off, I have searched for a solution to this problem on here, and I have found nothing about it. I apologize if this thread exists (I have searched for it) and if it does, then please point me in the right direction. Thanks. As for the problem, every time I try to open the Google Play store it closes right way. This did not happen before receiving the Jelly bean update. I was wondering if any of you have encountered a similar problem. If so, have you found a way to fix it? Additional information: Stock jelly bean, unrooted

Unfortunately, I have tried that and it did not work. Basically it at least pulled up the play store page for a second then immediately crashed, instead of crashing right away. Still crashed though

Had Google play crashes myself after my navigation/maps was crashing too...now that its a known fact about navigation having issues I've just waited patiently for that particular fix....I seemed to have gotten lucky and don't have Google play crashing for last 2 days by:
A. Not using navigation til fix os found
B. Wiping 3x and reinstalling stock rooted chubbz jellybean rom.
Don't know if it has direct corrolation to navigation issue buts at least kept Google play from crashing for me since. Hope that helps.

Google Experience launcher won't even open?

I've heard from multiple people that they've gotten the Google experience launcher to work on a Droid DNA like I have, but I can't even open the launcher without it saying that Google search has stopped. I've seen the fix where you change the language, do a voice search and then immediately change it back, but Google search and the default voice search app both crash before I even have time to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Google Now search results display blank

Hi, I have this issue with the Google Now search results area display being blank after a search. I'm using lollipop on an Elephone P8000. If I force close the app, it works once or twice but quickly returns to this faulty behaviour. I've googled it a bit and found that some people seem to see it as a known issue which Google have so far been unable to put right. Does anybody else experience this behaviour of know any solutions?
same problem in my xperia z1 running on 5.1 , Problem solved after updating google apks and clearing cache. Give a try on this

"Search for something on @string/app_name"

I recently rooted (then un-rooted, long story) my Nexus 5x. After restoring my phone, I've noticed that if I do OK Google while in some apps, there's a message in the popup that says "search for something on (at sign)string/app_name" which seems to be a place holder for the actual app name. I never noticed this before restoring my phone. I attempted to reinstall the Google app but the issue persists.
Has anyone else seen this before? Any clues on how to fix it? Not really a huge issue, but it really bugs me.
If this is the wrong forum please let me know.
sounds like a bug in the app (typo in the code), as the "@" isn't used when referencing a string resource like that from Java.
can you post a screenshot? try updating to the latest version of the Google app and/or Google Play Services?
I just noticed this happen on my phone as well. I'm running Android 6.0 and updated the Play Store today. It seems to be an actual feature where you can search for a word on an installed app. E.g. fish on Facebook, cars or Pinterest. I tried this and it worked on a few apps but not everything. If this is actually a new feature and I'm not just confused that could explain the bugs. Since this happened to you a while back, maybe it was unlocked during root, kind of like the split screen Easter egg on 6.0?

Question [FIXED - look edited OP] Phone always polling location

Hello everyone. Since yesterday my phone has been polling my location constantly. I didn't find any issues with security (Malwarebytes scan), I'm not using any weird app not from the Play Store, I didn't change any setting and the privacy setting is not showing like any app is asking for location constantly. Are you experiencing anything like this? How would you go about fixing this issue? Thanks.
FIX: Google Play Services 22.45.17 solves the issue. If you didn't get the update you can get it on APKMirror at your own risk.
Same issue here! I guess we should wait for a Google Play services update

I've been digging a bit more and looks like it's not due to Google Play Services. I checked and it polled the location data in the background correctly without triggering the icon in the status bar. There's something else, maybe proprietary to Motorola, that's freaking out and using location all the time.
I don't see the battery being affected though. Did you?

No effect on the battery either here. When did you start seeing this issue? For me it was yesterday.
Last week, then it stopped after disabling and re-enabling all locations setting. Yesterday it happens again
The only new app i installed before it happening was the Google health connect

For me, as of today, it didn't stop disabling and re-enabling the location access. It stopped for a while, but started back showing the location icon after a while. No amount of reboots and checks solved anything.
Have you joined the beta on Google app, Google play services etc? The only thing I didn't try is to unroll from all beta versions

I'm not on the beta Google Play Services app and didn't want to roll back because I think it's gonna mess up something for sure! Also, from what I can see, if you disable and enable the location service and check after a short while the authorizations for the Google Play Services you'll see that it uses location data briefly and correctly in the background without any issues. I think that's not the culprit.

No shot, I don't know what to do about it really. It just happened suddenly one day and doesn't seem it's gonna fix itself anytime soon. Do you any other people experiencing this issue? Other recent posts about this issue?
Brothers, any good news in this issue?

No good news unfortunately. I keep reading online about people having the same issue and nobody knows how to fix it. It's getting ridicolous at this point, really. Someone should get a hold of Google. I tried sending an email through the Play Store, but I got an email back saying that they don't monitor that email address anymore and got sent back to the useless FAQ page.
@dielle27 @Sultan M I got suggested to try to boot the phone in safe mode but it happened again. Wanna try that and let me know?
I received a new update with November system patch, but location icon is still there.

Got the update too but didn't install it because another user with an Edge 20 is on the same patch and they can't make the icon disappear even for just an hour at the time. On their phone it's on ALL the time, no matter what. So I'm holding off the update.
If i disable and then enable again the location setting, the icon disappears for a while, so for me nothing changed with the update

I've seen that on other forums for other phones they suggested a rollback of the Play Services. I tried but it didn't work. Can you try aswell and let me know if it's a solution for you? Thanks!
It didn't work as well. At least battery life isn't affected, but it's pretty annoying as well to not have a resolution after an official update
