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

.Cheers Bloke that worked a treat.
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.

Clicking the Reset App Preferences in Application Manager/All helped. Thank you for this!
Had the same issue and just found this thread. I just cleared the data and cache for Google Account Manager only under the application manager and it worked. Thanks.

This seems to have worked. I went into accounts and removed the Google account...then added again.
Worked for me. Thank you
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've been having issues when I go to Google search. When I launch the app the mic is solid at the time of launching but then becomes hollow and is not possible to activate via saying Google now. I've looked around and tried everything. Changing language to a different language and back to USA English. Clearing cache. Uninstalling and reinstalling. Make sure hotword detection is on. Nothing seems to work and this has only started less than a week ago. Just curious if I'm the only one of if there are others
I've done a lot of searching for a solution for this problem. Google maps doesn't read street names. It has nothing to do with the time of day as suggested by other threads. Also, clearing the data/cache and rebooting doesn't solve the issue for me. Changing to Ivonna or another engine does nothing. Maps insists on using the faulty google tts.
I have seen this behavior on Sense 6 Roms including Viper and the ATT Debloated with integrated voicemail into messages.
The problem appears to involve Google TTS because whenever I go into setting/language & keyboard/text to speech I see that the system is stuck on "checking default"
Skydragon Sense 6 on the other hand works fine.
I've been trying to see what the difference is without coming up with a solution.
Have others seen this?
Any fixes?
What language are you trying to use? All but english french and spanish were removed from the one i put out for users...This would explain why no sound with streets if using another language...works with english here with no issues....
Hi xda! (been awhile since I last was here...)
I seem to have a problem with my Ultra (C6833), Android version 4.4.4 (official), not rooted, just plain stock Nordic rom via OTA. But using Google Now Launcher.
I can't seem to make "ok google" work with voice only. The settings -> input -> voice search -> "ok Google" detection -> From any screen -page doesn't register my voice *at all*, nothing happens on that screen. Also on any launcher screen or Google Now, saying "ok google" doesn't have any effects what so ever. When I manually click on the mic icon on any of these pages, Google now works perfectly and most of the time I don't have any trouble it understanding me (not native English speaker).
I tried installing OpenMic+ and tried that, but almost the same happens with that. It works when the actual OpenMic+ program is open, but NOT when it is in the background.
The same settings DO work on my Note 8.0 just fine, and the mic works on the Xperia when making calls (or after clicking the mic icon, voice search works fine). So what gives?
if you still need help with this first make sure your play services google (search or now whichever u decide to call it)play store an gmail are up-to-date last two may not be necessary not i an others have had issues when not once thats done clear cache an data in apps section under settings for Google an play services
Oh, thanks and yeah, haven't gotten it to work. I forgot to clear the caches, silly me. I did check that everything is up to date. I'll try clearing caches.
Ok everything is up to date and clearing the cache still doesn't do it this should be magic goto Google now go to settings go go to voice go to offline speech recognition set auto update to always over data or WiFi go and download UK English language for offline once it's done go back to the installed tab press and hold English UK the selected close Google now open it back go back in that same section and press and hold English us language to select it now try your okay Google

yes i know but the switch to uk an then switching back is what works
EDIT: SOLUTION FOUND! SEE BELOW
I'm having the exact same problem with my Xperia Z2.
Any further advice would be amazing. I'm running Android 4.4.4 and read that some apps can interfere with 'ok google', but I can't track down this problem.
Changing languages doesn't seem to help (I tried Australian in the past). Can someone confirm the above worked? I'm running on limited data plan here and would like to avoid recklessly using it up ;(
EDIT: After browsing for a few hours a few days ago looking for a solution, just after writing this post, THAT article showed up. And 'ok google' works now!
http://ausdroid.net/2014/05/08/fix-google-now-voice-commands/
It was LastPass accessibility service running in background! After turning it off, 'ok google' works now
For the record, to this day I haven't been able to make it work on my Xperia. It works perfectly on my Galaxy Note 8.0 and my HTC One M7, but for the life of me, I have not been able to get it to work on this Sony device. It keeps working the same as always - works perfectly with manual activation, but I cannot get the "Ok Google Detection" to do ANYTHING. (the page where it asks you to say "ok google" three times to "learn" your voice). It just does nothing, it does not register my voice at all on that page.
So glad found this post!
dark_skeleton, you are my HERO!
I couldn't find a solution for this problem for around 4 month!
I was already thinking that there is a hardware problem in my phone,
and just for the chance of succession checked Google again, and SO GLAD I DID!
I used 'OK Google' detection on a daily basis!
In my case, the problem was the application "Informer for SmartWatch".
It was using an accessibility service and blocked the voice recognition.
AnttiV, try going to the accessibility menu and check what services there are external (not pre-installed by Sony).
Seems like it really helps!
Thanks again dark_sekeleton!!
Another app, which is making problems with "Ok Google" is Smart Extension - Hangouts.

Yeah, it was that for me. I've been testing a week or so now without it and everything seems to be working fine. Sadly there's now no way to have hangouts on my SW2, which sucks. But the extension doesn't work with Lollipop anyway, so...
Time to upgrade to Android Wear / Apple Watch?
After the CSC8 update I noticed when using Google.com as my search with the Samsung Internet app, whenever I type something in the search and hit the search button nothing happens anymore. I have to exit the app several times to get the search to eventually go through. Anyone else having this issue? I should add Ive tried clearing cache and data with the Samsung Internet app and also wiping the phones cache.
I was having the same issue earlier, but it only happened today. One thing to note it did not happen after I applied the csc8 update.
I just tried a.google search again and it worked. Maybe a temporary Google issue?
