Does anyone know how to solve this? I have been searching things for hours and I can't find a solution. There are lot's of threads around here posted, none with a solution.
The problem in a nutshell is that something becomes corrupt after the application is updated. After that, Google Maps no longer opens.
When you try to open the application, it opens for 7 seconds and then closes. The interface loads, but the maps do not show up. I have cleared the cache, uninstalled it, rebooted, even gone as far as deleting the data manually as my phone is rooted. Even after that, and re-installation, the application's state does not change. It still crashes after opening.
This is very frustrating, does anyone have a solution that works? I've even read that formatting the SD card "should" help, but it doesn't.
EDIT:
Figured it out. Looks like the application "Chainfire3D" is to blame here. Just having it installed without any configuration causes the Google Maps / Sky Map application to crash.

Bump? I still haven't figured this out.
Could you please posrt which ROM do you have first?
Also, have you tried doing a complete wipe and reinstall to see if the problem is fixed?
I'm using stock ROM. I'm pretty sure a complete wipe would work. But I'd rather not do that, that shouldn't be the answer to everything here. There must be hundreds of threads out there with no solution posted.
Bump? *sigh*
As you have found no answer besides the obvious one .
As it is the answer to many problems due to the fact that removing an app may not result in a broken file getting removed or some other part of the OS that is corrupted being fixed .
Choice is yours continue sighing and searching > take phone to a service centre who will in the first instance factory reset it or do it yourself .
Alternative might be the Google maps team .

If it's just a corrupt file that needs to be removed then in theory; it's just a matter of deleting the files. I need to make sure it's completely uninstalled, somehow..
Does anyone know where android stores cache files and application data?
I just noticed, "Google Sky Map" doesn't open either. It has the exact same issue where the map data does not show and then the application closes.
Figured it out. Looks like the application "Chainfire3D" is to blame here. Just having it installed without any configuration causes the Google Maps / Sky Map application to crash.

So I know there might be a few threads out there about this but saw that the suggestions from them did not help me. I've started to have issues with downloading anything from the Market. I'd try to dl an app and then it would say download unsuccessful pretty much right away.
I tried clearing cache from the market, factory resetting, permissions, and a few other alternatives. But I tried sending an app from the android market from a computer browser and though it took forever, it downloaded on my phone after about 5-10 minutes. I can't seem to dl directly from my phone.
I also tried signing in with another google account after factory resetting and I seem to be able to dl perfectly from the market. So I assume that it is something to do with my main google account but don't know how to fix the issue since there are no options or settings to reset or fix the problem. Anyone have any ideas?
Hi all,
I somehow managed to break my Market App. Whenever I try to download an app (even free ones). I receive the following error: "error processing purchase".
I backed up my ROM with CWM and reset my Tab to factory default. I am able to download again. However I'm hoping that someone can send me the stock Android Market App, so I don't have to start customizing all over again.
Thanks in advance!
I spent hours trying to fix this and finally came to the solution. Clearing the market cache and removing your Google account must be done concurrently. If all else fails, remove your Google account, clear the cache for the market, and clear all cache and data from all applications and services that use the market icon. This is kind of like hunting a rabbit with a bazooka, but it'll git'er done.
To re-hash concisely:
Be aware: if steps 1, 2, and 3 don't work, step 4 can solve your problem ( it did for me ), but it may cause adverse effects or problems ( I'm not sure ).
1) Go to settings --> Account & Sync --> Click your Google account --> and click remove in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
2) Go to settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> Click the "All Applications" tab --> and then scroll until you find "Market". Choose "Clear Data".
3) Make another attempt to download or purchase an app.
If you still receive the error message:
4) Repeat steps 1 & 2 , but in addition to clearing the market cache ( which happens in step 2 ), look for any applications that seem related to the market ( there were multiple services and programs I found ) and clear the data/cache for all of them. When this step is completed, your tablet will reinitialize upon exit. You may receive a notification or error.
5) Restart your tablet, click the market, and you will be prompted to add a Google account. Sign in and accept the terms!!!
Hope this works!

error on market app
Im getting crazy as I can´t download any market app at all.
The first time I installed (3.3 bl1.1), I got 6 apps downloaded form the market app, and then suddenly stop saying and error purchasing even free apps. After hours trying to change settings now the market app even doesnt open saying that cannot get info from the server!!!
Tried to clear cache, wipe data and even reinstall the rom, but the same thing happens now after just 1 download from the android market, it says "error purchasing" a free app..
I really loved this ROM, but this is a crucial feature, can someone post an workaround for this ?
This happened to me after restoring a nandroid. In the end I ended up reflashing and restoring my user app data from TitaniumBackup. Problem solved. Good Luck

You could try to restore with TTB or uninstall and install a fresh apk. Or make a new nandroid backup, flash an older working Android backup, copy the apk onto your SD card, restore the broken nandrod backpup, uninstall market, use root explorer to move the working market apk to system/app and reinstall it from there.

I had the same issue happened to me. A workaround that worked for me is using the web market. Try that, it should work. The only thing is that it wont install automatically. After downloading from the web market I had to go to the market native app and search again for the app i just dl. Now the market native app would display Install instead of download.
That was the only way to dl the app.
Then I had issue with battery drainage, So decided to flash it back to stock and no more problems with the market.

" error processing purchase" solution that worked for me
Hi.
I'm new to the forum. I just bought my first tablet. A Viewsonic GTablet that was rooted to Honeycomb 3.0. First thing I found out about it was that I couldn't download free apps from the Market. I could get the paid ones however. I could also download free ones from Amazon. So I googled and googled and read the posts here and elsewhere and tried most of the fixes but I was as frustrated as all of us. So I thought that maybe there would be a newer version of Market that had bug fixes and so on and I found
It's version 3.0.26. I was trying to post the link but they tell me as a new member of the forum I'm not allowed to post outside links yet. Cool. The link was actually to a RapidShare site if your trust them. It was free. It was easy to just gmail it to myself and on my Viewsonic I found it in the Download folder and did the install. Sure enough I'm now a happy camper. First thing I got was Flash Player of course. I want the SiriusXM app but I installed it and log in and get the "checking for updates" that never ends. But that's a different topic.
By the way. I did email Android Market support and they got right back to me and said that they were working on it. I sent them my update that I am posting here.
The Market sometimes just has issues. As others have said clearing cache can help. Other times the only thing to do is wait and try to repurchase again later.

cheers mate. I did steps 1,2 and 3 and market is working fine again
it worked for me for a day and the issue came back again.
darn frustrating
I get no love with the Jamesyboy fix.
Seems a common enough problem, but no solid fix after all this time.
---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------
Found a real fix.
Install new market.apk from
http://www.arctablet.com/assets/apps/Android_Market_v3.1.5.apk
and install.
Then hunt down and uninstall the old faulty market app.
To do that, if you click the "Market" label at the top right of the "Apps" screen the system will prompt you to complete action with...
That will tell you the name of the old market app to go find and uninstall.
The Market backend (not your Tab or other device) is the problem. They've been getting a huge response to those $0.10 apps, and it's revealing some issues with the servers.
settings- privacy- factory data reset. then when it reboots wipe data for market. it's been working for me so far for a few hours. it hasn't updated to google play store yet tho, i don't know why and don't care as long as i can download apps.
Market Legacy Will cause this
if you use the google play legacy app to see what apps you have installed previously it will break in-app purchases. Uninstall and wipe normal market cache
Also try clearing media cache
I periodically have the Google Play Store get stuck on "Installing..." when I try to install an app (JellyBean, different tablet tho). I've done Clear Data for it & the Google Play Services as suggested above. But what I also needed to do was Clear Data on Media Storage. I have a large (~40GB) side-loaded MP3 collection, and the media crawler sometimes gets bogged down causing problems for everything (including Camera, which is apparently connected to Gallery, which apparently uses the media crawler). Of course, after you do this you will need to be patient (and perhaps reboot?) while it re-indexes your media.
i see..
Hi everyone, Just wanted to post this as I have found it to be useful for me.
I am sure some of you have seen this issue before or are experiencing it now. I have included a link to the youtube video.
what is the issue?
Recently after downloading the newest play store I started seeing an error message about unfortunately the process gapps has stopped working .
this was happening whenever i tried to add an account and when opening some of my apps including the browser and play store
.
it was annoying me but it would go away and the app would immediately open for me after so it was not that big of a problem.
I tried to solve the problem first by uninstalling updates to the play store in application manager
,
then by flashing roms and factory resetting
, however this did not help at all.
l
. finally last night at work my phone had three random reboots . my phone has never done that before
. I searched on google and found a very easy fix and once again my phone is like new
.
the fix.
settings/ application manager/scroll to left until you reach the all applications screen/ touch menu screen left of the home button/ reset app preferences.
here is the youtube link
. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt_alKha_-s
it sometimes work, even uninstalling the updates and reinstalling works but is random
Thanks
What does kill us, it hurts
I am having this problem right now. Except not only am I getting that error I am getting mutlple services that have stopped as well as background apps.
I have tried everything except a factory re-boot. I haven been on the phone with Verizon and Motorola Level 2 tech support and no one could help me.
I'm at my wits end. I don't want to reset the phone because i have a lot of pics that are not backed up.
Additionally it seems that a phone reset is not a guarantee...
This worked for me. Thank you!
Thanks

Sadly not working on my note 2 syncing google account.
Whilst trying to sync the two calendars from the note (4.1.2) to my Nexus 10 (4.4). Nexus is sending out and note is receiving (also to pc) but nothing is being released from the note
As well as above I have seen a "fix" being disable - re enable download manager in apps. Also a no go.
I've been seeing this pop up on odd occasions during the last month or so but not caused an issue with the activity at that time.
Cheers in advance

google play download issue
Hi everyone,
I had the same issue like you. I have Samsung galaxy note 2. But I tried your advice about reseting app preferences and it worked. But I have another problem. The Google Play app works but I can't download any apps. It looks like the app is downloading but it's not. Have you any ideas about this problem? Thank you! Diana.

None of these worked for me. I tried cleaning the cache etc as mentioned and removing the google account but nothing. I've restarted, powered down and pulled the battery but nothing has changed, I still get the gapps message along with play store, gmail, hangouts etc.
I'm running stock 4.3 on a rooted I9305 S3. Everything was fine until I tried a bit of a cleanup with Android Tuner Pro's quick optimization and clean p. After the restart the pop ups came and then it had a progress bar saying - linking to sd - which sat at 0% and never moved. I'd selected optimize apps loading, database access, fix permissions, clean memory and updated system apps, trim all partitions and clear caches.
Any suggestions? I had massive problems trying to install 4.3 when my titanium backup messed up some settings and I had to do another full factory wipe and manually install ALL my apps and settings, taking around 4-6 hours!
I wish I'd stuck to System Tuner Pro and hadn't touched the new version

try this step:
On your Note, goto Settings. Choose Applications. Tap on the All Tab at the top. Locate and tap on the Play Store app. Tap on the Clear Data button. Tap on the OK button to confirm. Tap Clear Cache too
Then if you can see com.google.process.gapps in there, tap it and Clear Data and Cache too. Ignore it if you can't find this process there
Then find and tap the Google Services Framework and Clear Data and Clear Cache. Then restart your Note. Do the same for Browser, Download Manager etc again
Thanks, it worked for me
Thanks a lot dear, after too many trials finally your advice worked. you saved my day.
error message "process com.google.process.gapps, has stopped"
I have tried several methods from different forums/blogs, but all failed to remove this message, which appears repeatedly on my device Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500) whenever I start browsing on the native browser or the Chrome & not otherwise. There are so many people crying on almost all android related forums for help but nobody from Google/Android owners or even the device manufacturers are speaking up to console these crying people who bought these devices due android fame. If these attitudes continue, I think the Android will vanish as the Symbian in the past. For myself, having found no solution, I have decided to live with it until the device gets a System Update next!
However, if anybody has found a solution, he may plz tell me, too!
I keep getting this error and it seems to only happen when accessing location. I have a Tasker rule to have location turned off and it only turns on for certain apps that require it (Maps, Google Now, Espn apps, etc), every time I open those apps and the rule gets executed this error pops up. I've searched this problem and tried every suggestion, wipe cache/data, uninstall updates, factory reset, reset app defaults, install previous version, nothing seems to work. Version 5.2 seems to not give me the error, but certain Google apps won't function without the updated version, and even if I live without them, Play Services just updates itself (despite turning Auto-Updates off and detaching it from the Market in TB). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, it's an irritating error to frequently receive.
Same problem
I have this exact problem and like the OP have tried everything. Nothing seems to work. Any help would be much appreciated!

I finally figured out what was causing it, I had a Location Consent Disabler mod that was causing it. The new version of Play Services lets you select not to show the pop up again making the mod obsolete. If you have that mod, uninstall and it should go away
Hey I too had the same mod. thanks for point it out.
Title says everything. I hope I'm posting this in the right spot. I tried searching for this topic before posting but didn't see anything. I'm having trouble downloading games and apps off Google play store.
The game I'm trying to download is the gi joe war on cobra. I've had it downloaded and working before, but when I tried to update for the game it simply wouldn't download. So I tried removing it entirely from my device and re download it in its entirety again. Now it just gives me errors everytime I try to reinstall, this isn't the only time I had this issue, but its becoming annoying, cause I see it from time to time again on some apps and games, I'm trying to figure out a solution as to why, I was hoping someone out there knew the cause of this issue.
The device I have is a note 10 plus, android version 10 and its all up to date on its security and patch as well as software version. I have already googled this topic in which I'm asking for help with and have followed tutorials as to how to resolve it, but they proving not to be the solution to the root of the issue, such as.
*Restart device.
*Clearing both data and cache of the app store
*Removing the Google account.
*Force stopping the download manager and then resetting device.
*Checking storage for space (i have about 200gb left on board and like 500 sd)
*Cleared Google play services.
*Uninstal and reinstall Google play updates
Any advice or solutions to fixing this would be nice, it seems to be an issue with my device, but I'm not certain on this.
