I purchased a gTablet a while back and got very ambitious with it. I rooted it (I think with the ClockWorkMod, not really sure). It worked for a while and then started acting weird. It would connect wirelessly to the network but wouldn't access many apps. Frustrated, and not having enough time to research everything, I put it down and it became a paperweight.
I pulled it out this morning, determined to figure out what is going on. I booted it and see the honeycomb screen as it boots. Then it connects to my network and then the problems start again. I get a lot of pop-ups - things like "Sorry! The application Calendar Storage (process com.android.providers.calendar) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
If I try and open GMail I get a similar message. The unit is connected to my network and I see the refresh circle in the top right task bar, but nothing seems to happen. If I recall, in the past if I left the unit alone for a while suddenly it would start working again. Obviously, that is not the norm for this piece of hardware. ;-)
I'm thinking maybe I should just start over from scratch, but like I said, I'm not even sure which ROM or loader I installed.
Any suggestions on where to start?
Thanks in advance,
GB

Hi everyone. It's been two days since the process com.google.process.gapps has started crashing, "stopping unexpectedly" whenever i use the browser on my tab.
Reading the error report, it seems (not 100% sure about that) this is somehow related to the bookmarks sync with Chrome, but i can't find a way to disable this.
Has anyone exprerienced the same issue? Any known solution? Thanks
Go to settings > accounts and sync, click on your account then uncheck everything, then manually sync everything one by one to see what is causing the error.
Then go to manage apps and clear the cache of all the problem apps and re-sync them once you're done. It might take a few tries but it should take care of that error.
I'll try that as soon as possible, thanks!
browser sync was causing this for me
I believe that bookmarks sync no long works with galaxy tab. Google changed something on their end that should have worked fine(it still works on the xoom, transformer, etc.) but since samsung changed a bunch of stuff for no apparent reason, it is now broken. samsung is so stupid sometimes..
So you're basically suggesting that bookmarks sync should stay off to avoid problems like that?
well I don't really know. I never used bookmark sync in the first place. I'm just going by what is said in this article.
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/br...gle-or-the-oems/17840?tag=mantle_skin;content
It turns out that at some point Google started making some changes to the backend systems that handle Google’s user account data. There’s nothing wrong with them doing this; it happens all the time. In fact, no other Android 3.1 tablets had any issues at all with the changes, and their bookmark sync continued to work without a blip on the radar.
Not Samsung, however... I did some digging around the internet, and it’s become somewhat well-known amongst Android developers that Samsung actually modifies core source code in the Android operating system that handles communicating with Google’s backend data services.

Well, that's a pity. I had just started to think it was a useful tool to keep track of unread web pages between work, home and outside...
Let's hope Samsung somehow fixes that.
PS: disabling bookmarks sync actually stops the process from crashing, I think I've solved (if we could really say so...) the issue. Thanks to all!
Thanks, disabling auto sync for browser has stopped the error. Samsung developers need to fix this - I can't auto sync my gmail
What am I missing here?
Ok be prepared, this post may be rather long winded however I will try my best to prevent that. I have a Tmobile G2x I purchased on launch date. Ive not attempted to Root, change roms, or anything of the sort. (as much as I always wanted to, I always felt that my skills were not good enough to attempt these ideas no matter how easy they may seem. I just did not want to be the cause of screwing up my phone that I paid dearly for)
So I have a friend who claims to be the master (of disaster so it turns out) of rooting androids and such. He stops by my house just to hang out and eventualy convinces me to let him root my phone and install CM7. Within a few minutes the phone was rooted (super1click) and was running CM7 release candidate. (I really dont know what all these things truly are but I drilled him for answers once he jacked up my phone and left me with a half-bricked phone) So he installed Rom manager and convinced me to upgrade to the premium version via marketplace so I did. He was then showing me how easy it was to flash new roms at the touch of a few buttons. He put on some other rom which looked like CM7 but claimed to have extra tweaks. It worked fine. A few minutes later he put on some Faux Rom which gave a boot up screen like my old Nexus One did. (Multicolored X) It seemed to work fine as well. Then he said lets check out the nightly CM7 Rom so he put it on. (however I dont think it ever actually put CM7 back on.-still on Faux?) Thats when things got crazy.
Now I get the com.google.process.gapps force close message all the time. He tried to fix it for 4 hours and finally gave up. Here is what I know he/we tried: After searching the internet for hours we tried everyone elses ideas. Clearing calenders cashes, un syncing, etc. We did about 40 factory resets. We have tried to install my backup (which was from BEFORE he even touched my phone) and upon holding both volume rockers and plugging in USB (no battery installed) and it still does nothing. Windows recognizes device but phone screen stays black. Tried Debug mode while doing this as well. If we hold the volume down button and power the little install bar comes on the screen and it does its thing (whatever that is) and goes right back to the way it was. I keep getting the gapps message all the time. After factory reset I cant even type in my gmail address to start the initial setup of the phone. The force close keeps cutting me off. If I type fast, I can sync the account but I cant use market whatsoever. Tried installing Rom manager to re-flash but just sticks at starting download and gapps pops up again.
My son is starting school tomorrow and he has a medical condition. I NEED this phone to communicate with the school nurse via emails and such. As of now I can only text, call, or surf web all while dodging force closes. If ANYONE out there can please help me get my phone back to normal Id greatly appreciate it. Im sure its something easy but as I said before, Im not good at this thing and thats why I never attempted it myself. Your welcome to submit answers here or PM me your phone # if you want to walk me through it on the phone. (I have a landline phone to talk to you on) Thanks in advance for everyones time and Im sorry this ended up being so long.
Hello,
Based on your post, I would suggest that you search your phone's development forum on XDA for a compatable clockwork recovery mod which will install a custom recovery on your phone. The thread will give you instructions on how to do so and how to enter recovery mode.
You can then enter the 'Backup and Restore' part of the recovery and restore your backup manually without using ROM manager. If this doesn't work, I would suggest that you then download the ROM of your choice and install it from the clockwork recovery. Make sure you clear user data and wipe the cache before you install.
Any fix yet? This is really annoying me as I rely on my bookmarks tremendously.
try this:
Open stock browser and under settings choose clear cache and deletehistory
Anybody else developed this strange problem?
When I enlarge an application screen shots to fill my phones screen on the android market the first image is viewable as expected. But when I scroll to the second image and all of the others how ever many their is, I just get a blank black screen? I can scroll back to the first image and it shows back up but all the other ones remain blank?
Seems odd, is their a known technical problem at the moment? I can't find anything via Google searches.
Working fine for me.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
This happened to my Nexus S 4g while running NSCollab 1.0.51 2.3.7 rom. Switched to Ice Cream Sandwich sdk rom - I'll see if the problem continues .
Edit: this went away when I flashed ICS.
What rom are you running?
Seems to be OK now finally, most enlarged pictures are all showing up fine. I just get the odd one here and there that is blank out of a set sometimes. Just an odd little quirk I guess. I can't see how it would be a problem with the phone.
Sorry I posted this in the wrong section, I could have swore blind I put it in the Q&A section. Thanks for moving the thread for me.
I have the same issue, so you're not alone. it's kind of weird. I initially thought this was the network issue, but it does it on wifi and 3g. I think this problem needs to be explored further.
Glad to see I am not the only one with the problem. I have the problem only on the second picture, no matter which app I am viewing. I thought with the new market version it will go away but it is still there.
FYI: I am running on a stock 2.2.1 on a SGS.
Wonder if it's an issue with the market itself. It comes and goes on my phone, over a few different roms. Currently running Brainmaster's Miui 1.10.28 and every now and then I'll see a blank picture.
The larger problem I'm now having is that various apps are completely missing from the market. There are some that I've downloaded and used tons of times that I can't even find, using various search terms.
And then there is the app I paid for that is completely gone from the market. None of this particular dev's apps are available, which pisses me off pretty good - no response from the dev nor google about this issue.
Hello,
Earlier today, my phone just started acting up. All day, every single app was force-closing to where I cannot even use the phone anymore. Email, google docs, dialer one, calendar, everything. It was annoying.
I decided to run a hard-reset by pressing the up/down arrows and power button. I chose factory reset and saw the lock screen.
I got to the HTC vision and I was able to enter my google account so I can start synching up my phone.
After clicked the "finish set-up I get a force Close again. Here is the exact error.
Sorry!
The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Since I can't click on anything else, I click on force close and I basically cannot see anything after that. No home screen, but I do see the taskbar on top. When I turn off and turn the phone on, I will get stuck at the Dell Logo.
Please help!!! I don't know what to do.
I have the Dell Froyo Stock Rom, can't remember exactly what build.
Thank you guys
I also don't see anything if I press on the physical menu button. I put it on my dock, I clicked the clock icon and it automatically force close, did not even see the clock.
This is so wierd. I appreciate all the help.
Thank you
Nim
Wrong place to ask question. This is for developing thread.
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
The mods will move the thread to the right place, but to try and help the OP out, it sounds like the inner MicroSD may be going bad. Run a diagnostic on it by getting the Streak into Fastboot mode (instructions on the wiki), then tapping *#301# into the keypad that pops up in Fastboot. You should see a list of options of which one should be to test the MicroSD.
If the MicroSD passes the diagnostic, then the ROM somehow became corrupt and you need to flash a new copy. If the MicroSD doesn't pass the diagnostic, it will need to be replaced.
I am really sorry.. I thought I was in the proper thread.
Mods, please delete, I will make a new thread to the other sub-forum. I apologize once again.
Strephon Alkhalikoi: Thank you for your help. I ran the diagnostic and fortunately SD card and SIM card is working fine.
So looks like I have to reflash the ROM, I kind of have an idea. I flashed the official Dell Froyo long time ago but I cannot remember exactly how. I guess I'll have to wait until Monday coz my computer at work is set-up already for ADB and all that.
Hit the thanks button next to my post if I was helpful. And...deleting a thread isn't necessary. The mods may move it if they feel it belongs in another section, and for them that's not a great deal of work.
I've got a question, hoping somebody here can give me a hand. I'm currently making a CM9 ROM for my Inc S, it's been compiled with dsixda's kitchen on Windows 7 64bit. I've gotten it to boot successfully and everything seems to be in working order. One problem though, whenever I go into the settings menu and try to access the storage settings, it crashes saying "settings has unexpectedly stopped" At first boot up, the MicroSD card also fails to mount. Not quite sure what's causing this problem, I'll look into it further myself tonight. Figured XDA might have some solutions for me though, so I asked.
Thanks. :good:
Edit:Useless
Feel like an idiot for posting 3 times in a row and bumping my own thread yet again... but I changed the question in the OP since I figured out the old problem on my own. Felt it was better to bump this thread and change the title/content instead of making yet another thread.
Once again apologies for the multiple posts.
I have a T Mobile GS5 which I Towel-rooted soon after purchase. It is currently running the stock NE6 build.
I wanted to upgrade w/ the Mobile Odin app and maintain root. However, after paying for and installing Mobile Odin (4.20), when I open the app, it immediately crashes and says it has stopped working. Given the option to report the failure or close, I chose to report. This returns a message that the google play store has stopped working.
Am I just being stupd? I have searched high and low for some similar posting or support and can find nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.....

Everyone says that they have searched, whether they have or not. It's too bad that you didn't tell us how you tried to search. Or what keywords you used, we could have helped you improve your searches. There are a ton of xxxx (app) has stopped working threads, so it's difficult to understand how you didn't find any.
You should have a second look as there is a wealth of information in existing threads. But to summarize briefly, you can try these steps -
You may not have installed the support files properly. Read the directions carefully and reinstall the app.
Try wiping your cache from recovery mode.
Clear the app's cache and data in the application manger in the settings menu.
As a last resort, close any background apps that may be causing a conflict.

in the three + weeks since I loaded the program have searched thru quite a few key words, including the exact error message, combinations of odin not working, tmobile mobile odin not working, ad nauseum. None of the threads I saw, and there were many, addressed odin not opening at all. Never since loading. Most folks have issues w/ flashing the wrong types of files, or not checking some box. I have never seen the odin screen. And in any search I have never seen that problem described.
When you say supporting files, what are you referring to? I know that the MO lite offered here requires supporting files, but I paid for mine, didnt know it wasnt complete. I tried loading up the lite version and got the same thing, instant shutdown. Makes me think that it is not an issue with MO but maybe something on my phone. Are you aware of any background apps which may cause conflict? I cleared the MO cache and data. Also forced a stop and rebooted. And removed/reinstalled.
So by posting here, I am not really looking to refine my searches so much as looking for someone who maybe had the same issue, overcame it, and is willing to share that insight to relieve my stupidity. I guess that wouldn't be you, although I appreciate your thoughts on the subject.

I appreciate your forthright candor. It's not possible to help everyone, so I choose to put my time towards helping those who tried to search the forum before posting. Just as you prefer to have someone who has been through the same experience provide you the answer. I'm not sure that is an efficient strategy except for the most common problems.
The likely solution is as I summarized earlier for any app that presents a ".. stopped working" message. Perhaps as you hope, someone who has had the same issue can further advise you. Good luck.

After going back and reading some more, something hit me, it was always kinda right there......
Looking at the screenshot of the MO display, i noticed the 'clear dalvik cache' command. Reminded me that I had been screwing around and had turned ART on to see how it ran. Wonder where the 'clear art cache' box is..............oh.
Turned dalvik back on, runs like a champ. just downloaded the addons, opened the tar I had on the external sd and I think I'm ready.
As I never did see a thread referring to this specific issue I figured I would document for the forum's info.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
had the same problem
