How to fix Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

error processing purchase in Android Market

Hi all,
I somehow managed to break my Market App. Whenever I try to download an app (even free ones). I receive the following error: "error processing purchase".
I backed up my ROM with CWM and reset my Tab to factory default. I am able to download again. However I'm hoping that someone can send me the stock Android Market App, so I don't have to start customizing all over again.
Thanks in advance!
I spent hours trying to fix this and finally came to the solution. Clearing the market cache and removing your Google account must be done concurrently. If all else fails, remove your Google account, clear the cache for the market, and clear all cache and data from all applications and services that use the market icon. This is kind of like hunting a rabbit with a bazooka, but it'll git'er done.
To re-hash concisely:
Be aware: if steps 1, 2, and 3 don't work, step 4 can solve your problem ( it did for me ), but it may cause adverse effects or problems ( I'm not sure ).
1) Go to settings --> Account & Sync --> Click your Google account --> and click remove in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
2) Go to settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> Click the "All Applications" tab --> and then scroll until you find "Market". Choose "Clear Data".
3) Make another attempt to download or purchase an app.
If you still receive the error message:
4) Repeat steps 1 & 2 , but in addition to clearing the market cache ( which happens in step 2 ), look for any applications that seem related to the market ( there were multiple services and programs I found ) and clear the data/cache for all of them. When this step is completed, your tablet will reinitialize upon exit. You may receive a notification or error.
5) Restart your tablet, click the market, and you will be prompted to add a Google account. Sign in and accept the terms!!!
Hope this works!

error on market app
Im getting crazy as I can´t download any market app at all.
The first time I installed (3.3 bl1.1), I got 6 apps downloaded form the market app, and then suddenly stop saying and error purchasing even free apps. After hours trying to change settings now the market app even doesnt open saying that cannot get info from the server!!!
Tried to clear cache, wipe data and even reinstall the rom, but the same thing happens now after just 1 download from the android market, it says "error purchasing" a free app..
I really loved this ROM, but this is a crucial feature, can someone post an workaround for this ?
This happened to me after restoring a nandroid. In the end I ended up reflashing and restoring my user app data from TitaniumBackup. Problem solved. Good Luck

You could try to restore with TTB or uninstall and install a fresh apk. Or make a new nandroid backup, flash an older working Android backup, copy the apk onto your SD card, restore the broken nandrod backpup, uninstall market, use root explorer to move the working market apk to system/app and reinstall it from there.

I had the same issue happened to me. A workaround that worked for me is using the web market. Try that, it should work. The only thing is that it wont install automatically. After downloading from the web market I had to go to the market native app and search again for the app i just dl. Now the market native app would display Install instead of download.
That was the only way to dl the app.
Then I had issue with battery drainage, So decided to flash it back to stock and no more problems with the market.

" error processing purchase" solution that worked for me
Hi.
I'm new to the forum. I just bought my first tablet. A Viewsonic GTablet that was rooted to Honeycomb 3.0. First thing I found out about it was that I couldn't download free apps from the Market. I could get the paid ones however. I could also download free ones from Amazon. So I googled and googled and read the posts here and elsewhere and tried most of the fixes but I was as frustrated as all of us. So I thought that maybe there would be a newer version of Market that had bug fixes and so on and I found
It's version 3.0.26. I was trying to post the link but they tell me as a new member of the forum I'm not allowed to post outside links yet. Cool. The link was actually to a RapidShare site if your trust them. It was free. It was easy to just gmail it to myself and on my Viewsonic I found it in the Download folder and did the install. Sure enough I'm now a happy camper. First thing I got was Flash Player of course. I want the SiriusXM app but I installed it and log in and get the "checking for updates" that never ends. But that's a different topic.
By the way. I did email Android Market support and they got right back to me and said that they were working on it. I sent them my update that I am posting here.
The Market sometimes just has issues. As others have said clearing cache can help. Other times the only thing to do is wait and try to repurchase again later.

cheers mate. I did steps 1,2 and 3 and market is working fine again
it worked for me for a day and the issue came back again.
darn frustrating
I get no love with the Jamesyboy fix.
Seems a common enough problem, but no solid fix after all this time.
---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------
Found a real fix.
Install new market.apk from
http://www.arctablet.com/assets/apps/Android_Market_v3.1.5.apk
and install.
Then hunt down and uninstall the old faulty market app.
To do that, if you click the "Market" label at the top right of the "Apps" screen the system will prompt you to complete action with...
That will tell you the name of the old market app to go find and uninstall.
The Market backend (not your Tab or other device) is the problem. They've been getting a huge response to those $0.10 apps, and it's revealing some issues with the servers.
settings- privacy- factory data reset. then when it reboots wipe data for market. it's been working for me so far for a few hours. it hasn't updated to google play store yet tho, i don't know why and don't care as long as i can download apps.
Market Legacy Will cause this
if you use the google play legacy app to see what apps you have installed previously it will break in-app purchases. Uninstall and wipe normal market cache
Also try clearing media cache
I periodically have the Google Play Store get stuck on "Installing..." when I try to install an app (JellyBean, different tablet tho). I've done Clear Data for it & the Google Play Services as suggested above. But what I also needed to do was Clear Data on Media Storage. I have a large (~40GB) side-loaded MP3 collection, and the media crawler sometimes gets bogged down causing problems for everything (including Camera, which is apparently connected to Gallery, which apparently uses the media crawler). Of course, after you do this you will need to be patient (and perhaps reboot?) while it re-indexes your media.

[Q] My Apps list in market - empty

Hello everyone!
I first reported it here, I've come to realize that this issue affects users of various roms, so I thought I'd ask here.
When going into the market, "my apps" list is empty, since yesterday.
The things I've tried include:
restarting
ticking and unticking "unknown sources"
cleaning market cache and data
upgrading and downgrading the market app
installing free and paid apps
removing and reinstalling the market itself
freezing and unfreezing the market using TB
running "market doctor" from TB
uninstalling non-market apps
I googled and searched this forum quite a bit, but there seems to be no recent feedback on such an issue, and the suggested methods don't work.
Demonstration image attached, courtesy of marvi0. This is from the latest market app. When using 3.1.5 or earlier, the page is just blank.
This seems to be a cross-rom issue, as I am using HyperDroid-Androidmeda-v2.8.7 and users reported it happening with Criskelo's ROM and Pulser's ROM as well. So far, 5 reports were collected.
A strange behavior I've noticed is that following a restart, while the storages are being scanned, I was able to briefly access the list. After 2 seconds, it refreshes into the blank again. Being not the only one with this issue, I'd deduct it's not device-specific.
I'd be glad to provide more details, and appreciate any input on this issue.
Check which gmail account the market is linked to, if you are using more than 1 account.

I only use one account, always. Forgot to mention
Also, the website (market.android.com) is fine and functioning, displaying all of my apps. The problem is... I can't check for updates now.

I have the same issue since last night. I even restored a nandroid backup (when I didn't have that issue) and problem perssisted. I am using Criskelo v75 ROM. I was told by Android Market "support" that there is nothing to do since I don't have the stock ROM (but problem is in the cloud: it is a Google problem!). So I will flash the stock ROM and I will send the screenshots to that support guy, he will work then or he will say "I don't wanna work so I will do like in your last message: nothing at all"...

I believe the same. It can't be rom-related, because users of different roms report this. I see that too many users face this...

Ok, maybe is a problem with the current account because I did full wipe (dalvik cache, cache and data), I installed one app from Market and... this app (and other integrated in the ROM appeared in "My apps"!!!! :O. I restored my nandroid backup but problem perssisted. I will unlink my Google account from my phone and I will link it again: maybe this is the solution.

Had no doubt that a full wipe will solve this, but the trick is pinpointing the actual problem...
Currently I am uninstalling everything (all user apps) from my device using the batch option in TB. I'll keep you posted!
EDIT:
It obviously helped. Uninstalling everything, then redownloading almost anything I had on my device. Currently I am downloading, this will be followed by restoring the data using TB. I have a long evening ahead of me
I'll try to pinpoint the exact app/place the error takes place.
I have had exactly the same problem, and over the last two days have tried absolutely every possible solution. I have tried three different market versions, wiping cache, data, uninstalling apps, restoring previously working back ups, The closest I came to a fix was to delete all back ups in Titanium back up, then factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik, in Cwm, then reboot and re sign into Google account installing all my apps through the now working market.
However on doing another back up in TB and checking the market again I have the same message in "my apps " applications and games owned by this account will appear here soon!,
They never do! I am currently running latest Cyanogen nightly with latest Siyah kernel, I have also tried with cyan kernel.
Searching around on Google this does appear to be a problem for many other android users, and I suspect the fault lies with Google, However any possible solutions would be appreciated, This has took over my life for two days!
It happens to me too. In fact i've seen that i have several accounts bounded to the market (menu >> accounts) and one has no applications ! check this and select all accounts...

I have only one account on Google, and it is already pre selected when I press menu, accounts, I have no other option and selecting my highlighted account just re confirms. And closes dialogue box.
Don't know if this will work as I have never had the issue, but have you tried any of the market enabler hacks / apps?
Might be worth a try?

I eventually solved it by deleting everything I had, redownloading everything again and restoring the data manually. Wasted evening

I haven't done anything else finally but uninstalling some apps (I had over 300 and I have 210 now haha) and after that apps appear in "My apps" :O. Amazing!!! I don't understand anything at all.

Had any apps that weren't installed from the market? E.g. manual APK installation, linked apps from Amazon Appstore, apps from alternative markets and such. Maybe it was triggered by a specific app...
Same problem, I think its related to the new market.

Yes I do have apps from other markets, but I have "fixed this" once by wiping all data,re signing into market, restoring market apps there, then restoring all remaining other apps through TB, at this point market and My apps was working okay, However on creating a new back up in TB this problem re occurred.
As a footnote updates can be found and performed via the market, using Appbrain. I am at the point I have tried all possible solutions and firmly believe the fault lies with Google.
my issue was slightly different. I have 72 apps installed but in Market only 30 of them where visible since yesterday and one app (Antutu) shown to be updated - but even the update for antutu was not possible. Therefore I uninstalled Antutu und installed it again and surprising in the Market are now all 72 apps visible again.
So it seems some apps which have to be updatet brake the Market and do not show the app list or just partially.

Had any apps that weren't installed from the market? E.g. manual APK installation, linked apps from Amazon Appstore, apps from alternative markets and such. Maybe it was triggered by a specific app...

I uninstalled 92 apps: I can't write by hand all those apps here! hahaha. But I will answer your questions: I had (and I still have some) manual APKs installations, I haven't ever had any app from a different Market. I had Market apps too.
A guy in a spanish forum (http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=3098961 (I started that thread) told that it happens with no official ROMs for the device and/or different DPI. I mean: if you have an HTC Legend with Cyanogenmod 7 your phone will be identified as a Nexus (I think), but your Legend DPI is lower than the Nexus DPI. Google ban those devices in the Market. But it doesn't make sese since I haven't installed a different ROM or changing the DPI in my Samsung Galaxy S!!!!
I hope this helps.
PS: all the affected users should write to Google in order to open a ticket and force them to work on it, instead of claiming about it in forums as I did hahaha (but I wrote to Google too )
This is now widely reported for all Android devices, and has an open issue on the Android Market Forum. Google is "aware and working on it".
For those who got their list back, don't be surprised if it goes away again, and don't fight with it - it's not you, it's them
Your market web library should still list all your apps, and I'm using AppBrain to get update notifications until they get it figured out.

[Q] Google Play server error

On ICS and no problems till yesterday, was updating some apps on google play and had to leave the wifi area, closed the prime and next time I get server error. Tried stopping the app deletining cache, still same problem. So tried uninstalling all updates to play and got back to Market, still the same error. Tried a Factory reset and still getting the same error.
Any ideas anyone ?
Just tried looking at Google Play on the PC and does not now recognise the Prime even though Gmail has synched OK on it

Hi,
It might be worth deleting your account, re-booting, re-installing your account , and see if that works.
Tried that, eventually resorted to a Factory reset. Still the same problem and now the Prime is not recognised on the PC Google store whereas it was previously, but Gmail is syncing withe the Prime no problem, really weird. But if I cant access the store its not fit for purpose and is going back

Have you tried simply turning off your Prime's Wi-Fi setting and turning it back on? I got that same Server Error and did not go away until I turned of Wi-fi and back on. Weird, I know. This happened to me like 3 times when I was trying to delete caches and data and whatever else to get rid of the 101 error. Rebooting did not cure it, either ... I had to actually off/on the wi-fi setting. Go figure.
Once you get rid of the server error, if you still have the Market/Google Play error, simply delete your Gmail account under Settings | Accounts & sync by clicking on your Gmail account, then clicking the "options" icon on the upper right of your screen (6 small square dots). Reboot and go back into your gmail accounts, etc ... logging in as necessary.
Hope it works for you, too...
Have the same "server error" on 101 for 2 days already.
Tried everything, including changing to different firmwares, different market versions e.t.c. Not working. And old versions does not auto update too.
Seems like the problem with market server address, but it;s a bit strange that it remains even after changing firmware, and other Google services work normally.

You did not mention removing your Gmail account under Accounts & sync in Settings, then rebooting ... worked like a charm for me. As soon as I logged back into Gmail and went to the Market, all was well. So, if you did not already try it, you might give it a shot. My Prime was getting that error for a full day ... got really annoying.

It works on cowon z2. Thx
So Google are still deniying its their problem see email response
Hi Michael,
It sounds like you're having general connectivity issues - please try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
- Reboot your device
- Sign in and out of Google Talk repeatedly to restore connection to our servers:
1. Go to your device’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
2. If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
3. Launch Talk again to sign in (if you are unable to sign in, please let me know)
- Clear the cache of the Google Play Store app (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Play Store > Clear cache)
- If you're using WiFi, ensure firewalls are not blocking access to ports required for Google Play (TCP and UDP 5228)
- Confirm that there is strong connectivity on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected
- Uninstall updates to the Google Play Store app by visiting:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, selecting "Play Store" under the "All" tab or filter and touching "Uninstall updates"
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please let me know, and I will continue to investigate the problem - any other detail you can provide about the issue and how/when it occurs will be extremely helpful.

@TaIz82 @stevenshea great! Glad that it worked for you.
@G1azier I tried vpn but no use, maybe I got on wrong one Great that there is this solution too.
@macowbourne
This can hardly be an general connection issue, I have around 600 people visited my blog post, with same issue. And they didn't have it ever before.
One more proof that this is not connectivity problem, all this user can search apps from the phone, but they cant install them in most of cases. So connection to server still exist, problem is with showing filtered content of home screen of Play app for some regions/providers.
Thanks to @G1azier post and his solution, I updated my post with US VPN solution that works even if device is not rooted http://viewoneworld.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/google-play-server-error-quick-fix check it out!
It's definetly at Googles end just used a proxy server to kid it I'm in the UK and hey ho works perfectley all apps downloaded and synced

[Q] Applications from Google not working on tablet

Hello everyone, my problem is the following. A few days ago a bought a new tablet and rooted it. Everything was fine until now. Now when I try to open Gmail, Play store or anything Google related after a few seconds i get back immediately to my home screen. I tried to reset my phone but after that when I go to Settings->accounts>add account and click on Google to add my address nothing appears, also when i click on sign in in Youtube nothing shows up. I also tried to clear the caches, to enable the download manager and everything i saw on the forum but nothing helped.
Also i may have deleted something, I'm not sure. Help me please. How can i fix this? Thank you!!

MATE 10 Pro issues with google play store

Got my mate 10 pro with vodafone on Friday. Love the phone. Amazing camera and got a great deal.
Problem is the play store! It stops opening and the only way to fix this is to clear the data on the google play store & google play services.
Is this a known problem? Do I need to wait for an update or should i factory restart. Once it works again after the data is cleared after a very short while it stops opening again. Pressing on the icon simply does nothing.

Hi, this seems to be an individual issue as my Mate 10 Pro works in the Play Store with no problems. Factory reset may be helpful.

try close all wifi and cell data .. then force close the google play store then clear cash and data then disable so it will ask you to reset to old version press yes .
then also do it with google play services .
after that remove your google account email for google , then open the store and re put your google email and i think it will work fine
ended up doing a full reset which was not really fun but hey it worked..

Either you allow the phone to control this automatically, or you can do it manually: the latter possibility is the one I turned on as I wanted to have the control over the apps. Apparently, this was a bad choice as it stopped the apps from getting the information from the internet?
After I switched it back to completely automatic, all apps were working normally again. This is something that Huawei should address as I don't believe this should happen .
This fixed the issue for me.
Thanks!

Yeah. I set Gmail to manual and it stopped receiving emails. Which is weird as it should do the exact same things if you enable all in manual. Switching to manual fixed it.
And another issue is Last pass, it gets killed after a while if Launch is set to auto. I set it to manual and its been kept alive for the whole day.
