Why do my gapps keep force closing? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Why? Happens randomly... and frequently... one is usually followed by several in short succession, and then it will stop and go away until the next out burst of gapps force closing comes along...?

May be u need to flash gapps again?

Its the gapps that came with the phone though...? Why would I have to re flash gapps on a stock ROM..?

Same issue here with mine, not rooted, all stock, gapps keeps crashing constantly when trying to use web browser or certain other features included with the phone. Annoying.
Not interested in rooting or flashing anything until development gets a bit more stable.

I had this problem on my og galaxy nexus, clearing data from the phone/contacts apk fixed it. Not sure if it applies here but it's worked for me in the past.

In my experience it is a problem with sync internet. Clear all the data from whatever browser you use and it should stop

Didn't work... still gapps force closing grr this is annoying

It does it to me too all the time and seems random. Didn't think much of it because it happened on the touch pad running cm9. I assumed it was just an android thing. So this isn't normal?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

settings -> apps -> all apps.
go to each gapp in the list and force stop, clear data & clear cache. reboot.
if that doesn't help, flash a custom recovery, clear cache and dalvik. fix permissions. reboot.
just suggestions.

Back up everything to Google and try a hard reset maybe?

Yea, I have a custom Recovery so I guess I will try to wipe cache and davlick and fix permissions see if that works other wise, I guess a hard reset is what imma have to do, even thought I don't want to ...that **** piss me off

Clearing the Chrome data worked for my phone...thanks.

A little late to the party on this but the only fix I found that worked was to deselect syncing of Google interne data (unmodded ATT GS3).

gapps forceclose issue
Same situation. SGH999 Galaxy S3. Why is this an issue?
I also do not want to deal with factory reset, wiping apps, etc.
Basically, taking phone off sync... NO F/C at all. Slide tab to SYNC,
F/C EVERY SECOND. I took screen shots, thinking this is so unreal.
There must be an inherent issue with Samsung & Google not playing nicely together this time.
This is my 2nd phone BEHAVING the SAME. TMobile not helpful. In Another thread, they contacted the
President of Samsung for overheating & excessive battery drain. He was sent a new phone, but will end
up with the same problems. I really thought this phone was going to be the shizne...

This seems to be Talk crashing. I get the same FC message. I have to login manually to get Talk online again. Anyone else notice that?

Can't delete message thread !!!

So I'm not sure if the recent Jelly Bean update had anything to do with this but I can't seem to delete this particular message thread in my inbox !!! Anyone else experience this ???
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
How many texts are in it?
There are none in it. It's just my contacts name, then when you click on it to open, it opens a blank text message asking you to enter the recipient. Then when I try deleting it, my phone lags a bit and then I get an error message stating "unfortunately messaging has stopped". It is so frustrating!!!
Then the message thread appears in my inbox again

dmarco,
I have not seen this issue myself as described, but it's near impossible to really help beyond that without any idea as to what ROM is running (if not stock).
Are you able to backtrace any steps to a point where it didn't do this?
I'm on stock actually and unrooted still, I have no freaking clue what gives here. The worse part is that it's a female classmate of mine whose thread I can't delete and I'm a little uneasy that my wife might see that, think there is something going on between us (which there isn't) and shoot me while I'm sleeping!!! LoL

dmarco,
It sounds like some obscure corruption, or an update if one did occur on your phone didn't go as smoothly as it should have.
I wish I could offer more of an answer, but if a resolution is needed quickly before your significant other becomes a significant suspect in a murder case, you could try a factory reset after backing up what you can of pictures etc.

Thanks for your help, I truly do appreciate it. Perhaps I could clear data or force stop the messaging app and see if that helps. Will that cause any serious issues to arise later though. Because it warns not to do so, so I'm just wondering... would you suggest that?
P.S. I honestly don't think she would kill me, I'm more than convinced that she would shoot to wound only. lol...seriously

Try going through app settings and clearing data and cache for messaging. Other than that factory reset might be your only other option

The only way I've remedied something similar is to clear data and wipe cache/dalvik but without a custom recovery Iono how. Last ditch effort is if you have root you can delete the database file with ALL your texts in it. I had to do this. Because I had 20k texts and it froze whenever I tried to delete.

Go to settings, application manager and click on Google Play store. I would clear data and clear cache. You can also try unistalling updates. Hipe that works for you. Good luck

I was having a similar problem with the play store on my new gs3, except it kept telling me to "enable background data" when it and sync was already on...all I did to fix it was delete the google acct from the phone and sign back in, and it works fine now. Hope this solves ur issue, cuz I just cringe when I hear or read someone saying "hard reset"

Had same exact error
I had this happen when I did second clean install of the MIUI/CM10 rom. I had accidentally uninstalled some needed system apps when setting up my first MIUI clean install and instead of repairing the issue, I just reflashed the rom again. On this second flashing, I had your exact error. Same error code and everything. I didn't try long to fix the issue and just reflashed clean again. Third time everything worked as it should. I would like to think there was a simpler fix, but just letting you know my experience.
Oh, and btw, I did stumble across a few threads that mentioned enabling downloads app if you disabled it. Sometimes it gets disabled for whatever reason in the middle of an update or download and will not allow your phone to download anything new until the queue is complete and the notification occurs.
Good luck

Gif animation hit and miss......

I'm rotating from AOKP, PAC and CM10.1 on the Dinc2 and I love all of them but gif files sometimes work and sometimes don't. It seems like on a fresh flash they work but if I restore a saved nandroid they don't.
I'm not positive it's that way every time but it's driving me nuts. I have searched the internet and seen many with this issue but no resolutions of definite cause. I usually use Boat browser or sometimes Next browser but it's the Tumblr app I really care about.
Do the browser settings affect the Tumblr app? Just wanted to see if someone here had a suggestion?
Thanks
Clear cash n data of tumblr app then recovery clear cash n dalvic. Our phones are old. Things break down.

Yes, google + definitely doesn't get along with the Note 8 on 4.2.2. You could always try wiping dalvik cache and cache in recovery and see if that helps. If its a specific app, go into app manager and clear its data and cache and that may help as well.
so far everything is working I had to reinstall a few apps but besides that its fine lets see what happens

Nexus 7 Flo 4.4.2 gapps failure

Gapps failure is the best way I can describe my problem. About a week ago my nexus 7 decided to reboot itself while I was in the middle of some gaming (asphalt 8 I think). I took it as just you know the system needed it and said whatever.
The next day some apps start having problems. Specifically Google play apps. Then all of a sudden my nexus reboots and starts boot looping on the 4 colored balls part of the boot animation and then keeps going Google then balls. Back and forth.
I used nexus toolkit (v1.8.0 I think) to reboot the device in adb then ended up reflashing stock because the problems persisted.
Now the device is not bootlooping but every few mins some app force closes or pops up saying jot responding. Or even 7-10 different popups...
Idk what to do now. Please help?
NOTE:
This nexus 7 was purchased around Christmas time at my local best buy. It has been unlocked and rooted. Only things I ever did was use titanium backup to restore some game data from my phone. Never did anything more than that! And I guessed maybe a virus (if there is any such thing on android) did this but kaspersky reports no malware of any kind.
Apps and processes that fail:
Google play
Play music
Play books
Play games
Play magazine
Google+
Gmail
Google currents
Play movies
Google search
Google keyboard
Google text to speech
I don't remember the processes that crash so when they do I will update you on what they are. Please help!

Here is one of the processes that pops up

What I would recommend that you do is use the nexus root toolkit to install twrp recovery manager then boot into recovery manager and try clearing cache and everything but dont clear data and see if that helps.
If after you try that the problem still persists then boot into recovery manager and wipe everything....cache, Dalvik, and data.
By wiping data you will have removed your apps but they can easily be reinstalled with google play. You can use titanium backup to restore game data.
Oh and give this a try first...create a new gmail account and add that account under settings and see if that fixes anything. If under the new account you dont see any problems try switching back to your original account and see if the problems go away.
Hope it helps...

Thanks droidshadow for your response. Seeing how no one else commented this really must be an issue with my device. Not widely known. I attempted your solutions to no avail so I will be sending it to Asus. Hopefully they will give me a nice unit back that has no problems.

You did get TWRP on it? You could go all out with a custom ROM. In any case this looks like a simple enough issue to fix. Go to settings > apps > scroll right to all > now scroll down to Google Play Services, click on it and then clear cache. Now go down to Google Play and clear data, clear cache and then force stop. Ignore any misbehaving warning you may see. Now go open Google Play and re-register if asked. Let me know of if this helps.
What's going on should not require you to send it in. Worst case you do a complete factory reset with fastboot and not some tool.

Thank you for your tips. I actually did clear cashe and data on the services and even on other apps that randomly shut off. It temporarily fixed the issue for about an hour then all issues came back.
I have reset with nexus toolkit, I have factory reset while on the tablet. And I have also erased everything in the stock recovery.
It sounds like a simple issue but its not being resolved! I thought about just putting on cm11 or something but not sure if that would fix it considering these problems persist. Even with a different gmail account on it.
