After recent automatic Android updates, many users have experienced crashes in applications, for example, when recording video, the notification “com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:search is recording audio” constantly pops up, indicating that the camera cannot be used. When launching other programs (WhatsApp, Kate Mobile, Viber), a similar error appears, only with an indication of interactor. We will explain why this error occurs and how to fix it.

Reasons for the error

Mistake com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:interactor is a system notification that appears due to the automatically launched Google search options in Android. Actually, after the update, a new mode appeared in “OK Google”, which enables the search option on the active screen of running programs.

Suppose you turn on a camera that has access to the microphone, at the same time “Ok Google” also requests access to the microphone so that the user can voice control the camera - hence the conflict and failure. The same happens when launching messengers, Yandex.Navigator, Shazam and other applications.

Also, simple notifications “An error has occurred in the application” are possible, which appear when there are no active applications. This is due to an attempt to connect to search services on the phone.

We remove the error

Fortunately, to remove such problems, you do not need to perform factory resets and apply new firmware. Everything is removed in the Google settings on Android. So, review and disable the following options:

• Open Google Settings on your phone. Open "Voice Search", and there "Ok Google Recognition". Open it and remove the slider from this command.

• For different Android devices, the options are slightly different, so the voice search mode may be available. “On any screen” or “Always included”, also deactivate the slider on them. Here Video instruction on this occasion.

1. • If you are unhappy with such an update or the above solutions do not help, then you can do the following - run Play market, and then open Google Search. Click on the button "Delete", after which we confirm the demolition of updates. We reboot the phone and use it.

So, the conflicting error “Application com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:interactor cannot be used” can be removed in the settings, or by demolishing updates. Such conflicts are related to the dampness and beta tests of new versions, which, fortunately, are quickly fixed by the developers.

The application from the Yandex company is used by many residents of Russia. The motorist caste was no exception. This program, by the way, has always shown itself from the excellent side and has gained respect, as well as the unshakable trust of many smartphone users. Despite this, a number of developer errors that provoked extremely unpleasant phenomena “damaged” the solidity of Yandex Navigator.

In particular, such an imperfection was an error in the program code, which provoked the constant recording of ambient sounds in one of the local folders of the application. Noticing something was wrong, many Yandex navigation users sounded the alarm, wanting to find out the cause of the problem as soon as possible. What they did, we will talk about this in more detail and not only in the article below.

A few words about Yandex Navigator

Before considering the errors of the application, let's get acquainted with what it is in principle. In general, Yandex Navigator is a completely author's navigation program from the manufacturer of the same name. This application was built on the basis of Yandex Maps, but has also been significantly modified. The main difference between the Navigator and Maps is that the first program has a more navigational bias than the second.

Thus, it turns out that Yandex Navigator is a full-fledged application, the use of which is aimed at obtaining a high-quality navigation service. The main functions of the program are:

• showing the user a map of the place of his stay and other territories where he wants to lay a route;
• formation of the best and fastest route in a given direction;
• providing voice assistance to the driver of the car in the process of moving along a given route;
• providing the user with all the information about the presence of traffic jams in the places of his stay and, in general, about the traffic situation there.

Today Yandex Navigator is free application with the possibility of purchasing additional functions for money. The program manufacturer quite often releases various updates that help fix existing errors in the application and add something better to it that it did not have before.

Important! Yandex Navigator has exclusively original program codes that form an unchanging and completely individual concept of navigation. Largely because of this, this application is one of the most used in Russia and the CIS countries.

Why is the program recording audio

"Yandex Navigator is recording audio!!!" - with such a sensational statement in September 2015, the user social network Facebook - Evgeny Strokin, excited the public. By the way, this news was not a “yellow duck”, but the real truth. Why did this happen, what are the events behind it? Let's figure it out.

We note right away that there is no espionage in the fact that the Yandex Navigator application records audio. A similar phenomenon was provoked in one of the versions of the programs, which was updated for September 2015, an ordinary software error. More precisely, the error debugger that was not removed by the programmers, which records the user's audio commands in a separate system folder, was to blame. A similar debugger was created so that program producers could test and correct the sound assignment of commands from the user to the application in a more convenient mode. In the final version of the update dated September 5, 2015, this debugger was supposed to be removed, but Yandex programmers simply forgot to do it. The culmination of it all was the release of "spyware" into the world and downloading it by hundreds of thousands of users ... A serious and rather stupid mistake by such a solid company, isn't it?

Many will ask the question - "How did the user of the program notice the error?". Everything is simple here. The fact is that the audio recording error in Yandex Navigator had one pronounced feature, or rather, the resulting audio file was recorded in a separate system folder and was not deleted, but simply filled up the memory. As a result, users, a couple of hours after turning it on, found that the memory of their device had disappeared somewhere, or rather, it was busy with something. The first to reveal that it was in Yandex Navigator was the previously mentioned Evgeny Strokin, who sounded the alarm about dishonesty and possible espionage on the part of the application. Fortunately, the error in the program did not carry any malicious intent. Many checks of the erroneous version of the program and the statements of Yandex itself confirmed that The navigator did not send the recorded audio data anywhere, but simply stored it on the device. Whether to trust applications from Yandex after that - everyone will decide for himself.

Other Yandex Navigator errors

As noted earlier, Yandex Navigator is often corrected by the manufacturer if there are some errors in the application. If with the recording of audio the phenomenon had a one-time character and was quickly corrected, then some program errors do not appear so rarely. Which of these brings inconvenience to users of the program? Read below.

So, after analyzing all kinds of complaints about bugs in the work of Yandex Navigator, our resource identified three main errors and presented them in the following list:

1. Mistake No. 1 - Formation and display of not quite correct route. A similar bug in the operation of the application occurs with enviable regularity (far from one-time, as with audio). The essence of such an error lies in the fact that Yandex Navigator, analyzing the optimal path to the point specified by the user and forming the actual route, chooses some incomprehensible paths. The “incomprehensibility” of these lies in the fact that they are, firstly, not the shortest and, secondly, extremely inconvenient for a motorist to travel. Fortunately, if such an error occurs, it is corrected the very next day after the appearance and can only seriously spoil the mood of the Yandex navigation user a couple of times.
2. Mistake number 2 - The presence of inaccurate information in the People's Map. This bug is systematic and can introduce the user into real confusion, but it will not work to get rid of it. The fact is that the People's Map in Yandex Navigator is formed by the users of the application themselves and requires careful moderation, but the moderators are also ordinary people who do not always have time to notice the incorrect design of maps with due speed and correct the error in time. With such a bug in the program, it remains only to measure.
3. Mistake No. 3 - Incorrect display of the traffic situation. Here the situation is similar to the situation with the People's Map. Application moderators do not always have time to quickly track down this or that traffic jam and enter it into the Navigator itself, and sometimes the rush in this matter leads to the fact that a traffic problem is indicated on the street where it actually does not exist and is not expected . Fortunately, this problem is infrequent and is fixed fairly quickly.

Otherwise, the Yandex Navigator application is a solid and high-quality navigation program. No wonder the "army" of its users is huge on the territory of the post-Soviet space. We hope that the material presented today was useful to you. Good luck on the roads!

Overview of Yandex Navigator:

When you first encounter the com.google.process.location error, it might surprise you. The fact is that such an error appears spontaneously, regardless of which application you are currently in and what background processes are running on your device. A message will appear on top of all windows on your device stating that “the com.google.process.location process has stopped” and after that this message will continue to appear regularly, creating a lot of discomfort when using a smartphone or tablet. In this manual, we will tell you how to eliminate such an error and what to do if its appearance suddenly recurs in the future.

What exactly provoked this error, we did not manage to find out, since it occurs for almost all users under various circumstances. Google itself does not provide any specific explanations for this error. That is why I had to look for a way to fix this problem on my own. Below we describe in detail how you can resolve the "com.google.process.location has stopped" error.

How to get rid of com.google.process.location error message?

• Open the Settings of your device and go to the Applications category.
• Click the Disabled tab to see all applications and processes that are currently disabled.
• Try to enable disabled applications and utilities, and then restart the device.

If this method was not effective in your particular case, follow these steps:

• Go to Apps in your device's Settings.
• open full list applications and find the google.process.location process among them.
• Open its properties page and click the Clear Cache button.
• After that, we recommend that you restart your smartphone or tablet.

There are situations in which the second method does not help. In this case, you should move on to the last and most radical method. It will be useful in any case and will give a positive result, but since it involves a complete erasure of data, we strongly recommend that you make a full backup before proceeding with it.

Back up all important data, files and folders, and data that may be stored inside applications. Be sure to copy them to external media, as the memory card of your device will also be cleared.

Contacts, calendars and notes can be synced with your Google account. Make sure that all the necessary checkboxes are checked in the synchronization settings.

After that, do the following:

• Go to Device Settings.
• At the very end of the list of settings categories, look for the item Backup and reset.
• Click the Reset settings button and wait for the device to completely reboot and turn it on again.
• Then restore all data from backups and install applications from Google Play.
