After updating to 1.1.7.24 google chrome no longer works. The app does start and shows the initial google search page, but entering an url or search term doesn't do anything.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

I am. Sometimes when starting the app I get a notification that "com.google.process.gapps has stopped".

I can absolutely confirm this. Chrome stopped working since 1.1.7.24, while other browsers (tested Jolla's native browser and Opera) still work.

Chrome was working fine for me as well before the 1.1.7.24 update. I've tried downgrading to the older google play services that can be installed from aptoide (6.1.71) as a test as well as 7.5.74 (which seems to be the latest) with no joy. I don't think this is important enough to me to downgrade though.

Google Chrome stopped working for me after upgrading to 1.1.7.28 (Björnträsket). Before that I have been using it daily for several months. The problem is the same as in the description above. The app starts, but when entering an url or search term, nothing happens. I have rebooted the device, but the problem remains.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Has Chrome and Google Play Services acces to your contacts and has it the permission to run background services? That's what has been changed with this update.

O.o How did you make it work?!?!?!?!

Kollin ( 2015-07-17 09:58:23 +0200 )edit

Installed google play services (long time ago) using instructions similar to https://together.jolla.com/question/30926/howto-install-google-play/. After that I was able to install google apps like chrome, gmail etc.

I did the same, but chrome never worked! :(
