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.

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
I'm on stock / rooted 4.5.91 for ATT Atrix. Prior to the GB update I was having daily issues with my exchange email, where I would get a "Connection Error" and only removing the account, rebooting, and re-adding the account would get it temporarily resolved. It would work for 1-2 days, then it would have the same issue happen again. Unchecking the "verify certificates" box seemed to help, but again only temporarily.
Now that I'm on GB I've only seen it once, but I'm still frustrated by it. My work email is important (if it was absolutely critical, I'd suck it up an get a BB), and I'm seriously annoyed by connection issues.
I'd like to try the AOSP email.apk and stock Android exchange sync setup, but not sure how to do that from where I am now. I assume it is harder than removing the existing email.apk and installing a new one.
I know the Aura ROM has the AOSP email built in, but not quite ready to go down the unlocked bootloader path. I'd like to keep my warranty in case the AOSP email doesn't work and I need to return the Atrix.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks.

I don't know the answer to your question, but are you sure it's not your corpo's fault? We run 4 exchange servers here and we have had no complaints about failed connections or anything of the sort, whether it's android, iPhone or otherwise. I have an Atrix and had it set up with my email since day one and I have had no issues at all.

Nope, not sure. But I do know numerous iOS and other Android users (mostly HTC phones, a few OG Droids) that don't have this issue.
I work at a small company so we have a hosted exchange service, and I had our IT guy remove and re-add the Activesync service for my account. That seemed to help for a day, but then back to the same problem.
I'd be willing to bet it is something that is incompatible between the Atrix and the exchange environment, but I've got limited access / visibility to that, and a variety of data points that do not have issues, so I'm trying this route.
Thanks for the input. If you have suggestions on things I can ask my provider to check / uncheck, I'm open.
Thus doesn't actually answer your question but I got tired of dealing with that from rom to rom so I just bought "enhanced email" from the market. Its $10 and gets around the pin requirement if you want to.
Sent from my Att Atrix 4g unlocked.
I had this start on my Captivate running Serendipity VII a few days ago and it is now completely shut down, no emails getting through. I use Enhanced Email as my email program. Very interested in discovering a solution.
on my BB, it took 30+ mins or even an hour to get emails. My exchange works perfectly on my Atrix, as it did on my Inspire. Its probably your phone
Agreed EE is awesome. We use it on 14 different phones in my office.
Last time I tried to get rid of Corporate Sync I kept getting FC's afterwards.
I recommend using the exchange app included in CM roms. It's based on AOSP but has some mods like email signature, and on your atrix the account will show up next to the google accounts in settings menu.
go download a CM zip from http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/nexus-one and then extract system/app/email.apk to your phone and install it. then just add the account in settings.
I had issues with company exchange servers and went to Moxier Mail, they have a free 7 day trial then for $19.00 you get it all, contacts, calendar, email, tasks.....stays connected except when I changed my password (every 60 days). Then I had to remove and reload, but that was only issue....very reliable.....

Thanks, I'll try that.
Would I replace the email.apk with the CM one, or just install it in addition?
In addition

Appreciate the help. Got the file extracted then realized I had one more question - do I need to change the name, or is it ok to have 2 "email.apk" applications?
I realize it is a total noob question, but figure better to ask than to screw something up.
you can just install it. the blur version is titled BlurEmail.apk. if a conflict were to arise - it would ask you to overwrite. the system identifies apps differently so just renaming it wont change how it installs.
ex. Google+ shows up as "Google+" but the system seems and calls on com.google.android.apps.plus
So, just want to say; I have pulled the battery out and left it out and such, can enter recovery and download mode.
The problem occured today when my friend had ahold of my phone and was checking out my apps and saw "Root Browser" and I said it browses all my files. I guess he wanted to see if he could find any form of porn on my phone. Any who, he fiddle farted around, foumd a document that was 157MB or 175MB and was like hey do you want to delete this? (my phone kept saying I only had 200mb freespace left and a bunch of files were taking up like 11GB idk how.) and I told him sure to get free space and he didn't say what the name was. He later told me it was firmware that he had deleted. But before I had any idea it was deleted I powered my phone off for about an hour or two and went to class. I turned it on, and it would vibrate ~3 seconds, say Galaxy S3 and then boot loop again, and won't go any farther. Is there any way to put firmware back on my phone with odin or anything? Because my parents have no idea my phone is rooted, so I really want to avoid contacting Verizon and trying to get a new phone. Also I want to try and keep all files. I could factory reset, but with common sense it's telling me that will delete every photo, text, contaxf etc.

It's as the title says, I ****ed around with my phone and deleted some ****, now the dam thing is in a loop of telling me Google Services wants to send information about crashes, then the thing that wants to send the information crashes not once, but three times then it starts the cycle again in less than a minute, it doesn't matter if I allow or deny it it'll just ask me again.
I've factory reset my phone a few times, it doesn't restore the deleted system files I got rid of since some of the things I tried to intentionally get rid of like the google search bar on the home screen is still gone.
The full build number is ZTE_T816_M02 if that helps at all, just need a stock rom so I can hopefully repair this, unless that's not the solution and it's fubar.
So a week ago my galaxy s7 edge from ATT thats now on straight talk was hacked somehow very badly and not even 2 hours later so was my whole home network which was my desktop my laptop and my sons tablet. I have all the things i need to rid whatever vile thing/person/persons that infected me home network wise but my phone is a different story i was told by a local phone shop i could factory reset it using recovery and it would prolly fix the problem but as soon as i went into recovery and seen the little android guy i instantly got booted out of recovery and went right to my lock screen and quicker then id ever gotten to it so i restarted my phone again in recovery mode and instead of seeing the normal android recovery stuff i was greeted with about 4-5 swirling circles for about 2 mins then it took me straight to a blue screen that said odin and it immediately started to download something i had to hold the power and home button down for like a good 45 secs before it finally powered off. When i turned it back on it thankfully went back to my phone but i no longer had control of anything my radio band had been switched i couldnt access any of my folders like gallery, music, videos etc. for like a good 30 mins and i was denied access to google play store and i couldn't make or receive a phone call or a text for like 30 mins then my phone restarted itself 2 times on its own and when it came back on after the 2nd restart i could access my files and google play but the only browser i could use was Chrome. Dolphin which i have set as my default and have used for almost 2 years now without a single issue and the stock Samsung browser would force close on me soon as i opened them and alot it was in chinese like home icon and tab icon etc. and i had like triple the apps running in running services then normal and alot of the normal android system apps you would see running had a 2 at the end of the app name now and i couldn't do anything with them as far as force stopping them or disabling them and not just system apps either but normal ones too like my camera or memo app and the ones i could disable which was very few came right back undisabled and running as soon as i did it. I downloaded 3 different apps just to be thorough to see if i was rooted and all 3 said i wasn't but yet i could go into my files app and go all the way in my recovery file system and see my /sys/ priv-apps folders and others too im pretty sure a non rooted phone would never have access too and i also seen a directory named fake libs and a directory that had a bunch of apps for listening through the mic and turning the front and back cameras on and live broadcasting apps and an app for logging of every keystroke i made and lots of crazy txt files one of the txt files said downloaded mobicore hidden apps and the list of apps looks like they downloaded a whole repositories worth of stuff i was told by another local phone place that the first ones i talked to were idiots and even a full factory reset wouldnt fix anything and id need to flash it or have it flashed if i didn't know how which costed 90 bucks that i didn't and still do not have so i transferred everything i had access to and wasn't denied from to my sd card and did a full factory reset which actually fixed my radio band problem i can now make and get phone calls but still cant text and or receive them even thought straight talk has fixed it on their end like 4 times now so today i decided id try and learn to flash and flash it but was told if it was rooted and i did it a certain way id screw the phone up completely and if it wasn't rooted and i did it a certain way the same results would happen. I actually downloaded win rar and went back into the recovery system directory and the sys/priv-apps/ section and /fake-libs/ section and took like 16-17 screenshots of like only a 10th of all the crazy stuff apk wise and txt document wise that was in there id seen and rar'd it up so i could email it and post them along with this post but every email address i tried to send it to immediately sent me an error email response back saying it didn't exist or the person was not allowed to recieve emails even my own email account that i was sending it from because i thought id send it to myself and download it off my computer but soon as i sent it to myself i got the email doesn't exist error email i also tried sending it to a friend in FB messenger but messenger would force close on me every time id click on it to send it and at the moment i can still access my FB messenger but now can no longer send a message it sends out but never changes from the greyed out check mark so the person on the other end isn't receiving it i also tried calling people this evening but every call i made went straight to busy signal oh also the screenshots are still sitting there in my screenshots folder and i can access them and click on them etc. but im now denied access to win rar i go to click on it and it says access denied and google play says the same thing once again so i cant download another archiving apk and the RAR archive i made to begin with that was in my screenshots folder is gone now just disappeared like that and if i plug my phone into anything to try transfer them that way it says that my s7 edge is not equipped for data transfer but i can unplug it plug it back in and try to transfer a normal picture or an mp3 song or something like that and it will transfer just fine after about a 10-15 second hang/wait time. All i know is i want my phone back from these A-holes and i am willing to flash it just downloaded the newest odin and got the stock ATT android 7.0 rom but im at a loss after that as i do not understand the whole if its rooted do/don't do this or if its not rooted do/don't do that stuff plus seeing as how 3 different apps off google play have said it isn't rooted but yet i have been as far as the folders right before my boot sector and can see hidden system apps and a crap ton of /0/ folders and stuff and somehow have odin for a recovery even though the first time ive ever even been into recovery mode in the almost 2 years i have owned it was when i tried to factory recover it the first time a few days ago and if they have control of my phone like this and i do need to root it how would i even accomplish it without them stopping me?????? Please help me i'm tired of not having control over my phone and being listened too watched and logged by whoever if they might just actually be doing it since i seen the apks and such with my own eyes so anyone that may have any info advice tips or can help me in any way please please please do!!!!
Okay so from first :
1. You say that when you tried to go in Recovery mode it comes blue screen with Downloading text written on screen .
So instead of Recovery mode you went in Downloading mode , so that problem is wrong key combination .
Right way to enter in Recovery mode is

and if that didnt resolve the problem , download Smart switch and do this :
