Google Search abends and restarts LG G3

Lately, anytime I try to start Google Search (main home screen widget) in either voice mode or typng mode, the app starts, then freezes momentarily, then the phone does a shut down and restarts.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Running 4.4.2 on Sprint. Keeping my fingers crossed that lollipop may correct, but not holding my breath.

Thanks to everyone that comments or reads!

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Apps>All​, select Google Search, and Clear Cache/Clear Data. Now try again.

Done twice now no chage.
Google Maps has joined in with the restart when selected
Google Play Music also started playing back at random volume levels today, too.
Thanks for the reply, still keeping hope that there is an easy fix for all this.

Re: Google Search abends and restarts LG G3

Have you tried Safe Mode to see if the problems persist or go away? If they go away, then some app you installed is causing the instability--the challenge then is finding out which one. You may have to uninstall apps one by one until the problem disappears. https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11934

Phone restarts in Safe Mode as well. Is it possible this is due to the Sprint LG G3 update that came trhough in early December?

Re: Google Search abends and restarts LG G3

Perhaps i am the only person experiencing this. Cleared cache, cleared settings (caused reboot/restart). Google App (Search) sometimes works, sometimes reboots/restarts. Google Maps same way. Not 100% one way or another. Safe mode has no impact. Have tried clearing other caches/apps as well. Anyone out there who can help ?? Trying not to restore to factory settings as I have work apps that will be a ROYAL pain to reload and reset with work.

I know you don't want to do a factory reset but it sounds to me like at this point in it that might be your only other option. Just make sure you back all your stuff up. It will fix your issues.

But, additionally you'd prefer to enter Account settings (android 4.0.4) and select account, properties -> delete account, and re-add it (again old account)
Thanks again.
