Hi all.
Last night I flashed the UK ICS update to my 7510 (US, wifi only).
All went well.
But com.google.process.gapps keeps crashing, especially when using the browser.
Also happens when I'm in settings.
Did a search, best answer I found was to disable browser sync.
Couldn't find how to do that so in setting under accounts and syncing I disabled sync all.
So far I think it helped (was crashing every 10-20 seconds, it'now been a few minutes and no crash).
Is there a better fix? What do I lose if I keep sync off?
Thanks
Jack

I started running into the same problem yesterday. My Tab is not rooted either. I was able to resolve the issue by going into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All select Browser and click Clear Data. Hope this helps anyone else running into this issue.
-E
this is common after flashing new rom just go to settings and make a format .....it will definitely get cleared

Hi
The app "social networks" (already installed as part of motoblur package) keeps "forgetting" to update from time to time. Anyone else has the same problem or knows a solution?
The app does not have a menu to manually update or change any settings.
Right!!! I have the same problem I'm not able to find setting for synchronization...I dont have understand how often the message of facebook (motoblure) are checked??
usually it must be checked every couple minutes as it always seems up to date, but now mine hasn't synced since two days ago. Restarting the phone didn't help either.
I've noticed that after the update (coincidence?) my widget fails to update. This works for me:
menu>settings>data manager>data delivery>background data (toggle the setting off then on) and escape. Seems to keep me going until the next morning. I think the smart battery saving settings that are in effect overnight (default) clog up the works so I need to repeat the process daily...
Yeah, it seems to have failed after update 2.21 > 2.51
And there is no way to manually refresh.
Running Cronos 1.80 with GB 2.3.3 on it
At random intervals the exchange sync will just stop working. No error messages just no email. This problem occurs both on wifi and normal data. I tried killing the email program in task manager, manually starting the sync, changed the settings on the account from push to polling and back. Nothing worked. Rebooted the phone and everything starts syncing again. Data works fine for other apps too when this is happening so it is an issue with mail only.
I used to get this issue with the non gingerbred cronos ROMs occasionally - maybe once every couple weeks. But now it is happening a couple times a day. Annoying when you don't get an error message you just think you haven't gotten any email. Thinking about just going back to Froyo as it didn't seem to have this issue unless someone can recommend a solution.
Hey.
I also noticed the exact same issue.
But i am on an desire with 2.3.4 (GingerVillian 2.4).
To me it happens every couple of days.
I have to reboot my phone to get it working again
Is there a solution out there?
thx

So for the last few days I've been getting the process google.process.gapps force close. I read the other thread about this problem and it seemed related to the bookmark syncing, so I took off all of the syncs and then synced them back up (other than the browser) and the problem continued.
Today I turned the tablet on, and now when I open the browser it pops open then immediately disappears every time. I am also getting force closes for anything that syncs just as gmail and music without even opening the apps...just force closes keep popping up so I could barely even do anything (even after I took off every sync again).
I'm sure there is a pretty simple solution to this, but does anybody have a suggestion?
Have you tried clearing data and cache from the GAPPS?
After shutting it down last night out of frustration, it seems to be working fine today even though I tried that same thing last night.
Strange...but if it happens again I will give that a try. Thanks.

Hi XDA! I'm the proud owner of a SGSII since Sept 2011. A problem I've had since day one is that Whatsapp, Gmail, FB, etc don't behave in a "push" manner, meaning I'll often get the notifications half an hour after they should have arrived.
Recently, I rooted and updated my phone to Samsung's ICS rom and noticed that, when I woke up in the morning, I wouldn't have any notifications until I started toying with the phone for about 5 minutes, in which moment I would be flooded by emails, FB messages, whatsapp messages, etc.
Hoping to kill this unhealthy trend I upgraded to CM9 and flashed the latest radio through recovery. My problem now is that the moment the phone switches the screen off, it seems to lose connection with google servers. (I interpret that when the WiFi and network icons are colored grey instead of blue is because they have no connection to google servers, please correct me if I'm wrong.). Of course, my original problem stands but it is now aggravated by the fact that this happens every time I turn the screen off. WiFi remains on, but without server connection, as in this screenshot: i.imgur.com/SkLrQ.png
My ICS version is 4.0.4, I'm using the 22-04 CM nightly, I usually update it once a week more or less and will do it tonight to rule this out. I guess if it were a CM problem there would be more awareness about this. More info about my phone: i.imgur.com/y6avq.png
I should note that my WiFi sleep policy is turned to never switch off WiFi. Also, I leave my phone charging every night before going to bed. WiFi is always on while discharging but I still don't get the e-mails: i.imgur.com/0W37j.png
Please XDA, is this a phone problem? a rom problem? a router problem? Your help will be very much appreciated.
Don't hesitate to ask if you need more data for diagnostics.

So, what exactly is your problem?
1. Push notifications take several minutes to appear on your phone:
That's quite normal. Push does not mean that you will have no delay.
2. Google service (Gmail) does not sync onm your phone:
Have you wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache?
Have you cleared Gmail app data?
Have you done a factory reset?
Maybe you need to remove your current Google account and re-create it afterwards.
Good luck !
Thanks for answering!!

No, the problem is that every time the screen goes out while on WiFi, the phone will lose connection with the Google Servers. This doesn't delay the e-mails and messages from coming in, it directly prevents it. Messages won't come through until I've toyed with the phone for several minutes after waking it up

Yes, I wiped all the caches and cleared Gmail data. Since this post, I updated to latest CM Nightly, Siyah Kernel and XXLPS radio (which I believe is the latest). Still no improvement.
Will keep trying variables and update with results. Thanks for your help.
I have a similar issue with my Android devices as well, pretty sure it's not related to the internet since I've tested 3 phones (stock nexus one, stock galaxy nexus and custom SanFran) on 3 different wifi networks and they all seem to lose google server connection every 16 minutes.
going into *#*#8255#*#* i can see heartbeat timeouts every 16 minutes whenever the phones are connected to wifi network.
the only thing i haven't tried is to sign into another google account, will try that sometime in the future but not sure if that's going to help.
shudnt be wifi problem. i am using whatsapp on 2G / 3G and having same problem as well. Only started when moved over to ICS. Did not seem to have this problem when in GB.
You sure you don't have wifi sleep modus on while screen is off?
It's in the settings somewhere.. (maybe by battery and maybe by connections/wifi?)
This have been bugging me for very long. It not only affects my Google Talk, it also affects my Whatsapp, preventing them from getting messages on time.
Note that this only happens on 3G. I have no problem with Wifi.
I am able to get Google Talk / Whatsapp to push messages and get it's notification when I first booted my phone. The push stops when the phone is being idled for more than 5 to 15 minutes. I do not know why this happen, but when I look at *#*#8255#*#*, all timers listed froze and when I pressed on the "Send heartbeat to server" it does nothing (The heartbeat counter suppose to increase).
I tried to start the Google Talk app, and it started off with a fresh login (Means it logout while it was in idle state).
The two devices are, Stock DXLP9 unrooted and Lastest version of SlimROM with everything unchanged. No task manager involve on both affected devices.
I'm not sure if it's a carrier issue.
Is there anyone here that can help me solve this mystery?
I got the same problem here.
It's surelly related with some power saving thing.
I'm using WanamLite 12 with Siyah kernel 3.3.2.
My workaround was open terminal emulator and let it ping Google.com forever. It keeps the connection alive then I can receive msgs on IM+ Pro in real time.

I have tried your term emulator method and it does not work for me.
I have recently realised something that is very different that I did comparing to my friends.
They have "Automatically sign in" and "Automatic away status" checked in Google Talk.
I am currently trying this out to see if it works for me.
I will update again.
I have exactly the same problem.
I don't have a GSII, but a Sensation and a Galaxy Nexus.
After a while with screen off phone disconnect from google servers.. On galaxy nexus the bars change to grey color.
I did everithing.. nothing changed...
After Months, i get what it is the problem. The Operator..
Simply, switch from H3G, to Vodafone... The miracle happens
Google talk always connected, push notification of gmal, whatsapp and FB are instantaneous..
I found my own solution and it works for me.
I'm not sure if this works for others but here's what I've did.
Bought Tasker
Load Application GTalk, Wait 10 seconds, Go Home
Repeat this every 10 minutes.
I am not worrying at all as this consume very little battery.
I do see quite a number of wakelocks, but my battery life comparing to before has only lessen by an hour to two.
After using the method mentioned above, I now practising to switch off my phone while I'm asleep to save battery and still, my phone is able to last me through 2 full days (2x 16 hours) for my normal use as before.
Until I get S3........................
