Why is it that whenever i hold the home button, com.android.systemui has stopped working pops up

[AC Question]

My phone a samsung galaxy s3 neo was working fine. Suddenly, one day an error popped up saying com.android.systemui has stopped working. so i googled some solutions i removed cache partition, i factory reset it and all. then i realized, everytime i hold the home button to stop apps from running in the background, the same error pops up. Everything works fine until I hold the home button.

I started having the exact same problem yesterday afternoon. It even happens in safe mode.

Is this a common issue due to an update?

I literally 5 minutes ago started having the same issue.
Tried looking up a fix, tried a bunch of things but absolutely none seem to have helped.

The problem is the recent Google update... uninstall the update and you should be fine.. Hope this works for you too guys

My phone has been doing all kinds of weird stuff lately. Uninstalling the Google update worked like a charm...

I had the same issue with a Galaxy S3 and uninstalling updates for the Google app fixed it. Thanks!

"Uninstall Google update" to correct "com.android.systemui has stopped working" -- works!

Thanks. I didn't want to reset the phone to factory settings, and from what others were saying that might not have worked anyway. Uninstalling the Google update restored normal behavior.

Same problem over the weekend with my S4 mini. I found to uninstall update. Only option I found took me back to factory original. And that worked. Then phone automatically updated within half a day. And same problem again.
Is there a way to just go back last update? How do you stop it from updating again?

We have same problem, but what do you mean remove google update? Is it mean remove google playstore? Please someone guide me to remove google update.
