Hello!
Had CM 10.2 latest stable version up and running, in the process of downloading all my apps and restoring some stuff from titan back up. A few things like message/phone contacts said it would require a reboot to show the changes, so I rebooted and got the error
"Unfortunately The Process Com.android.phone Has Stopped"
at the lock screen, wifi on but no phone signal. If I got the chance to hit "ok", it would close and reboot, in a non-stop loop. So common sense told me to do a wipe from recovery and reboot, so I'm back to square one with all my apps and backups.
Some google-fu told me that using titan back up on some "system" backups will cause this loop, and that was the only back up that suggested a reboot, so I have to assume it was that. I never saw this mentioned anywhere during the process, just wondering if there is a way around it? Right now I have no numbers saved or my old conversations, mostly I just want my contacts as anyone can understand. Open to any suggestions!
Google backs up everything if you let it, that's the best and fastest way.
Don't restore system apps or data.
It's better to not restore anything at all, unless you're really lazy and must.

So, I have no idea what has happened here, but I seem to have lost my calendar application. Is there any way, other than re-installing the ROM to get that back?
Ok, so, the plot thickens. I went ahead and just reflashed the rom through ClockWork Manager, got everything to boot up just fine, and using Titanium Backup was able to reinstall all my programs/settings. Now a really interesting thing has happened, the phone won't recognize my sim card! When I go into wireless networks and settings, and then into mobile network providers, it prompts me to put a sim card into the phone (of course, there's already one in there).
Any suggestions on this?
My plan for now is to go home, back everything up to my computer, wipe everything through my CWM recovery, and then try to re-flash again.
Also, the keyboard that I use (SlideIt) is having problems force closing every few seconds, which is becoming REALLY annoying.
I would love your input.
ok, so, after a full wipe of the phone, and THEN re-installing Axura 2.3.1.3, I think I'm back to where I want to be. Phone is recognizing my SIM again and I'm in the middle of doing my restoration with TiBU. I'm gonna go through apps first and THEN system information to see if that's what caused my problems before. Might have a corrupted TiBU file somewhere, or a rogue one that's causing these problems for me.
if calander was the only problem in the first place you could have just downloaded 1 from market ??
yeah, I could have, but I really just wanted the stock Google calendar. I'm weird like that

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
Hi all. New to the forums...watched the degrading vid before signing up even and am somewhat newby with phones. I've scoured this site, the motorola support site...which is apparently down til next week now...and a few other sites I came across via pages of google searching. I cannot find the answer other than doing a factory reset...which I really do not want to do as I have a LOT of apps and info of my phone. It should all be backed up via motoblur and the lookout app's backup. But I have months worth of scheduling info in there which will take me more hours to reenter...I reeeeeally don't want to if I don't have to.
Problem: My Atrix 4g is caught in a bootloop. While this is a somewhat common problem, mine seems to be a little different. I'll point form details below and will greatly appreciate any help I get. If you need any more info, please let me know.
-caught in a boot loop. It boots regularly, but reboots about every 2 minutes. There is a good 30-45 seconds where I can access apps etc. However, I don't think that the phone completely finishes its boot cycle before rebooting.
-Occasionally...and I believe ONLY after I reboot via the down volume/power button method...the phone will stay on long enough to receive notifications from the web. Facebook notifications etc etc. Most of the time it doesn't.
-If I had to guess, it's trying to boot some app near the end of its boot cycle that it doesn't like. And I'm assuming it just doesn't like this app's latest update as I've never had this problem before.
-Prior to rebooting via volume/power button, I was getting an error message which I wrote down...and have since accidentally erased. It was something along the lines of "system process failed" and I then had the option of force close or wait.
-Every 3 seconds or so, my notification light flashes purple. It typically shows green during startup, red for notifications...I've never seen purple before.
-I downloaded almost every app I could over the last 10 days of 10, 10c apps from the market.
-I haven't opened most of the apps, and haven't had any problems with any apps that I have opened
-Most of my apps are set to auto-update. Therefore, I don't know which app update could be the problem...assuming this is the problem
-I'm in the process of removing my apps 1 at a time every 2 minutes or so...as I get a chance during the final stages of the phone's rebooting. So far, 10 apps in and no success. Only another 200 apps or so to go. ugh...
Any ideas? help? booze?
Thanks in advance.
How about wiping the cache and Dalvik cache? This will not affect or uninstall any of your apps or personal info.

Thanks for the advice and quick response. I don't seem to be able to clear the dalvik cache without rooting the phone...is this correct? Went thru the market for dalvik cache cleaning apps and they all require root. My phone isn't rooted.
ok if your not rooted does this mean your on a stock rom? is it possible one of these 200+ apps are a virus or malicious? root your phone use titanium backup to backup all your apps and factory reset or go try and get a replacement and keep your sd wich will have the backup
I had a boot loop problem too once. Turned out to be a defective SD card. removed it and it booted. It could not be read by any PC either so it was definitely dead.
So I was playing with my Photon 4G (rooted) and Titanium Backup Pro. I was curious to see what apps I could uninstall and of course I got a little over zealous. The phrase: "I know just enough to be dangerous." comes to mind. Anyway here is what happened. I started uninstalling apps and eventually I got a bunch of Force Close messages. I got so many that I couldn't do anything on my phone anymore, they would just keep popping up too quickly. Eventually I decided to do a factory reset. Looking back, probably not the best decision. The phone did the factory reset and will boot to the screen that shows the Android Robot and says "Press to Begin". The problem is that those Force Close messages are still popping up as much if not more than before. I try to touch the Android Robot to begin but nothing happens. I think I uninstalled the wrong app (perhaps a vital system component) and doing the factory reset didn't reinstall the app. Are there any methods to flash everything back? Will a stock flash do it?
Note: Also, as I was writing this I had let my Photon sitting and all the Force Close messages disappeared. I doubt they are gone totally but wanted to note that as well.
Note 2: My photon is just my old phone that I decided to keep around in case I needed an extra phone so it is not attached to any company but was once Sprint.
Sometimes that welcome screen doesn't work properly. To skip it, tap all four corners of the screen starting at the top left. It will bypass the initial setup and you can add your Google account manually in settings.

Hey all,
I was having a ton of trouble finding a ROM that would run properly on my Note so I finally found a way to get a completely stock version of AT&T's software back on the phone.
It was running great until a couple days ago, nothing changed on the phone to my knowledge, but now I'm getting errors left and right. Errors say exactly: "Unfortunately, the process com.google process.gapps has stopped" and then you hit okay and it just goes away. Happens totally randomly, and all of the Google applications that I have on the phone work fine.
A factory reset of the phone didn't resolve it either - it just seems like something just finally snapped in the phone. :/
Here's a snapshot (Sorry for the potato picture - it was sent over MMS) of the Android version and other info: http://i.imgur.com/9pEMyXw.jpg
2 options at this point from information
1. Reflash rom......wipe, wipe, wipe, make sure your process is clean.
Or
2. Go into settings
App manager
Playstore
Force close
Clear cache
Clear data
Back out
Restart playstore
It will start right back up like normal. If anything is missing, it will tell you. If nothing comes up and no more closing, your fixed.
Hope this helps
