Have you tried clearing cache/data on the App then reinstalling it?
How do I clear the apps data and cache? I'm still a noob with this phone. I uninstalled all the updates and still has the same problem. Should I reupdate? Obviously its a system app I can't delete it.

Go into Settings -> Application Manager, then find the Google+ app, and from there you Clear App Data and Cache (just scroll down a bit, it's below where you would uninstall the updates, etc)

Not sure if the last update to the facebook app caused this but Facebook has been keeping my phone from going into sleep state. Even after force closing it, it seems to re-open and drain my battery by keeping my phone awake. I uninstalled facebook as a temporary solution.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solution?

What is the setting you currently using? (rom, kernel, radio)
I have the same problem and I go to manage applications and force stop facebook everytime I open Facebook page. Or you can reboot the phone.
The official facebook app is a steaming pile of crap. I ditched it for Friendcaster and my battery life has improved dramatically.

Twice now I've received the ad below without the browser active or open. I have nothing but your run of the mill Google apps and market apps on my phone. It should also be noted that my phone isn't rooted. Anyone else getting these popups? I've run avg, cleared my cache and cookies, so hopefully it goes away.

Weird! I don't like the sounds of that one bit. Have not had it happen yet but I would suggest force stopping the browser from the application settings in the main android menu and clearing defaults. Then opening the browser I would go to the browser settings and clear cache, uncheck accept cookies, clear cookie cache and anything else that could be cleared.

Its called air push ads. Something you down load has add connected to it. Goto the market and download airpush detector and it will tell you which app is the problem. Then u can uninstall it.
I had the exact same thing!!!! 2 days ago.

If rooted would Ad Free work?
So you saw an ad in your notification drop down? If so that would be airpush. You can always opt out here:

Addon detector from the market will tell you everything you need to know...
You then remove the program...

Sure like the wallpaper, but guess it is a compromise, push notifications or kewl wall paper.

yeh, that was what i was going to suggest
i downloaded a few live wallpapers, then got annoying notifications in my status bar, that when click opened up ads
I had the same thing happened to me a few days ago as well. I think it is tied with an app or game I installed. I don't know which one but I started to uninstall unwanted apps/games and it hasn't appeared since...
I hope it doesn't come back...
I believe it was coming from one of those sketchy watch tv for free apps. I cleared my cache, cookies, and removed what I thought to be the crap app and it went away.

Which exact app is doing this so I can avoid it? And please 1-star them in the market and demand they remove AirPush. AirPush is the devil.
I got my AT&T galaxy S3 in the 22nd and every once in a while I'm getting this pop up. Anybody know why that would be happening?
Aside from the pop up nothing else seems to happen, the app I'm in doesn't crash, the phone doesn't bog down or anything.

Just found this on another website.
"the process named "google.process.gapps" is for Google Contacts Sync. You can go to Settings-->Accounts & sync and disable sync for contacts. That should halt the sync app crashes.
To fix the underlying problem may require system updates, clearing data, factory data reset, etc. ...depending on what version of the OS you are running, and what other symptoms are."

Thank you! This has been driving me crazy. Contacts didn't work for me, but I unchecked everything and incrementally added more, hitting sync after each check, and found that "sync internet" was killing it for me.
I'm not sure what this syncs really, but it doesn't sound too important. Much prefer my non-crashing phone.
Thanks again!
I had the exact same issue. "Sync Internet" was the cause. If I disable and then re-enable it, it crashes the app immediately.. Turned that off and it seems to be behaving much better..

Also, you need to boot into CWR and wipe dalvik cache if your phone is rooted. :good:

I agree with jvoisin. After experimenting several times with Sync options, the one that always caused the com.google.process.gapps error was "Sync Internet", disabling it cleared the issue for me.
Fix for those who like 'internet sync'
I had this issue as well - But I personally like to have my internet bookmarks etc sync with my device.
I can't remember where I read this fix: but all you need to do is go to settings->applications manager-> all -> internet -> Clear Data.
Open up your browser again, and it will re-log you in on your google account and sync internet correctly.
Hope this helps.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is causing com.google.process.gapps to stop. I have narrowed it down to it being triggered when it syncs internet data through Accounts and Sync.

Ok i found out how he did it. You will have to go into the browser settings and clear cache, cookies, passwords etc. Then u have to go to settings - application manager and click on All. Then scroll down to google services framework. Click on it and then clear data. I rebooted afterwords for good measure. I was able to sync internet sucessfully without a force close. But i think this issue is being caused by some random setting that we are setting. If anyone finds out the source of this issue, please post.

The phones don't ship with google processes failing so what are you guys doing to the phone? If you have rooted the phone and tinkered with roms you have to flash the rom then flash the most updated gapps package for your phone or you will get force closes.
Also, you can fix force closing of google processes by booting into CWR and clearing dalvik cache as this forces ICS to rebuild symlinks and other databases for your apks....

My current rom and config is shown in my signature. I am thinking that it starts force closing when i start making changes to default settings in settings menus relating to browser/internet because if I uncheck sync internet from accounts and sync, it will not crash anymore. But when I recheck it, it crashes upon sync. But again, i am not sure which exact setting is causing it. That's all I am doing. I will try clearing dalvik cache and see if it persists. Also, another issue is that i am using TiBackup and freezing google movies and books. When I reboot the phone, they magically re-appear.

It did this error for me right out of the box once I synced my gmail account. Maybe it's something held over from some other phone that I've had?

ok... The plot thickens. lol did you restore ANY google apps using Titanium backup? if you did thats a big no no. Factory reset will probably set you right up. You can also reset dalvik cache as well.

Interesting... you may have some google app settings that are interfereing with ICS from other gingerbread or ICS roms... try factory resetting and then uncheck anything that says restore apps or account settings when setting up your phone and that should eliminate the issue. Report back as I am really curious
No i did not restore gapps with tb. When i do a restore, i do restore missing apps. Being that gapps are preinstalled, it would not restore using this option. I wiped dalvik cache as advised above. Then made changes to browser default settings and it hasnt fc yet.

Bump. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Update: Wiping dalvik cache appears to have permanently solved the problem. However, it still remains a mystery as to what actually caused this.
I disabled "sync internet" in my Google and Samsung accounts and the gapps problem is gone. I don't even know what sync Internet does but my guess is that was the problem.

As i stated in one of my first posts...that i figured out that sync internet triggers the crash. What sync internet does is it syncs favorites and browser settings. I use chrome on my pc, browser on tablet and browser on my phone and sync my favorites across all three.

Since a few days ago, Android OS has been using an extreme amount of background data. I have never had this issue before. I did some research and found a ton of conflicting things about this supposedly common error. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
I have tried turning location off, still uses data. I have tried turning sync off, still uses data. I've tried using third party apps to track and see what is causing the problem, no luck.
Wiping cache & Dalvik cache can help correct this. Do you have root / custom recovery?

Yes. I do. Dalvik and cache has been wiped several times already, but I will try it again and see if it works.
I tried wiping cache and dalvik. Didn't do anything. This is ridiculous... My little bitty data allowance disappearing because of a stupid bug...

Have you checked the list of apps below the usage graph in Settings / Data usage?
Be sure to place a check mark in Mobile data in the upper right.
Scroll down the list, tap on each major app & consider limiting its background data usage to wifi with the individualized Restrict background data setting.
You could use an app like Network Log to at least see what Android System is connecting to, might narrow down what's causing the issue.
Yes, I have looked there. I have limited everything I can think of. The problem is, it says Android os is the app using the data and I can't limit that app. And I will install that app and see what I can see.

You can read up on using Better Battery Stats at its excellent xda thread.
This could help especially if the detail on Android OS in Settings / Battery usage shows excessive wake time.

This is ridiculous. My tablet never used this much data before. Android OS is the worst, but Google play services are using a lot too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
It must me something else.
Data usage displayed by each application when summed up don't give even half of global amount used.
Something like:
Google play - 2Mb, Chrome - 5Mb, Android OS - 4Mb, some other apps - 300Kb each, together - 45Mb !!!
Where 20+ Mb has gone - no idea.
There is option to stop background data usage but then phone is almost useless.
BTW:
I don't have any sync to network drive, no FB, no mail or other regular checking.

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
