Last chance saloon before I either opt for a full reset, or fling my phone at a wall.
I'm running a Galaxy Note N7000 on stock firmware. Yesterday, I believe my battery ran out whilst some Google apps were updating, and the system is now corrupt/unstable.
APNs are not saving after shutdown, UID errors occurred (although I have rectified these), DSMLawmo and other processes force close, and the Play Store shows the 'no connection error'.
So far, I have...
Cleared app caches and data.
Uninstalled all updates.
Cleared device cache.
Uninstalled Play Store. Reinstalled Play Store.
Uninstalled DSMLawmo.
Checked all settings on my clock apk. Accidentally deleted my clock apk.
Edited 'hosts' file. Deleted 'hosts' file. Recreated 'hosts' file.
Deleted Google account. Recreated Google account.
I'm sure I've tried other things too, but I'm now at a loss. Anybody any ideas?

Ok I have read that Gmail is not a very stable app, and people often complain it crashes, but there's a limit!
I had it installed by default, then removed it after root, then decided to install it again as I needed to check my mail more often.
Every time, every damn time I do ANYTHING, Gmail crashes. You probably know the usual message "com.google.android.gm stopped unexpectedly", I get it when I boot the phone, when I enable data, when I disable data, when I open the browser, when I close the browser, when I enable google account sync, when I disable it, and of course when I try and open Gmail. The fact is, the process crashes even when I don't use Gmail (I checked and it's not in the 'being used' processes list, but when I open the browser or enable data it crashes from nowhere).
I have already tried wiping cache and data, uninstalling updates (but for some reason it uninstalls the whole app), and uninstalling/reinstalling it several times, but I only managed to make it work ONCE (then after that unique mail sent, crashes again). Is there a way to stop this madness?
I have an Xperia Mini st15i with rooted 2.3.4 and stock stuff, if it can help.
Did you take a backup of the stock Gmail app before you removed it? Did you install that one and then updated or did you install directly from the market?
In addition, have you tried clearing the data of Google Services Framework? I read somewhere that clearing its data can help resolve issues in Google apps.
I don't have a backup of the stock one, I reinstalled directly from market =(. I'll try clearing that data then =)
Don't worry if you don't have the stock Gmail.apk. If clearing the services framework doesn't work, search Google for the stock Gmail.apk of your android version, install it, then convert it to system app and link it to the market using titanium backup and then update it. If you can't find it, contact me. Post how it goes.

I factory reset my old unused S3 and I'm now trying to re-purpose it (as a wifi only device). The problem is when I re-add my Google account to it, Google Play automatically starts re-downloading ALL my apps to it and I don't want that (probably over 100) - I just need 4 to 5 apps from that account re-downloaded (I don't mind doing it manually). How do I get Google Play to NOT automatically re-download all those apps?

Gotta slide the settings screen over from the left and go into the Settings there and uncheck the automatic update over wifi feature and reboot (if you don't have data, because otherwise it'll keep going). I dislike this as well and always sign in on cellular data first and change the settings and then log into my wifi.
Not sure if that would of actually worked for me as I'd simply didn't want Google play to automatically restore ALL my apps to the device - I wanted to re-download only what I wanted, but still be able to use auto update for those said apps. Turning off autoupdate meant I'd have to manually update apps which is undesirable.
Anywho, I simply created a new Google account and used that. It turned out to be a better solution for me.
Thanks for the help though
Hello,
I am unable to downloading anything from Play Store on my Galaxy Tab 4 7". I found the following methods online but to no avail:
- Factory reset
- Clear Google Services cache/data and force stop.
- Remove Google Account and re-add.
Also, when I try to download any app, the download progress bar which is displayed on Play Store says: Downloading. However, it doesn't show the percentage and the download progress bar which is located in the notification bar also disappears after a few seconds and then re-appear.
Screenshot of Play Store as well for your reference:

Just a quick update: I installed the latest APK of Play Store and now I'm getting error 194. Tried almost everything and now I'm helpless. Could someone please help? I have tried resetting my tablet, clearing cache and data of Google Play Services, changed Wi-Fi settings from DHCP to Static (tried both OpenDNS and Google DNS). Nothing is working for me.
Also, whenever I uninstall Play Store and revert back to the original version, and then clear data, Play Store gives an error: No connection.
Yesterday I rebooted my phone to recovery mode to perform a new nandroid backup. Everything was fine but after having booted my phone again, I get a lot of "Unfortunately xxx-app has stopped" errors. Most of the time the apps are Gmail and Google Play Services but sometimes also Google Play Store and the app just named Google. For now it has never been Calendar, Hangouts, Drive or other Google apps.
Apart from the never-ending errors I have to click away, everything seems to be fine. I get e-mail notifications, I can update my apps etc. The errors seems to appear when the phone is syncing. For example when a new e-mail is received or when I'm writing and sending an e-mail. Also when I'm updating my apps, the errors are appearing. If I put the phone into flight mode there are no errors.
Of course I've tried to reboot my phone. I've also deleted cache and data from different Google apps like Gmail, Google Play Store, Google Play Services and the Google app. I've tried to uninstall the updates from the same Google apps and update again. I've booted to recovery mode and deleted cache and dalvik cache.
On Monday evening just before I went to bed, I rebooted my phone and there were no problems, and from the reboot on Monday evening to the reboot and nandroid backup yesterday I didn't install or update any apps so I haven't changed anything on my phone. Even though I've removed all my newest apps just to be sure it isn't related to a new app or an updated app.
Now I din't have more ideas... Please help me!

Either u accidentally deleted a system app or something is stopping Google play service apps wakelock Icing.
Is only google play app r crashing?
Hello,
My Play store stopped auto-updating my apps for some reason and I thought cleaning the cache (and eventually the data) will fix it. It didn't, it only made things worse.
Now under Installed there aren't any apps and in Library are only the apps that are not installed on this device.
I tried to logout and log back in my Google account, but nothing changed.. Any ideas how to sync the installed apps with Play Store?
Anyone?
