Sometime after upgrading to 4.1.1 my Galaxy Nexus began to have trouble viewing Youtube. At first I blamed the network, but trying to view a video in the gallery has begun to produce the same result, causing the app to hang and crash, as well as causing Face Unlock to stop working, requiring a restart. Clearing the app's Data and Cache have no effect. This was only a minor inconvenience until I installed 4.1.2; Since the update having a Youtube or Gallery video fail causes the Clock app to stop working when my alarm is supposed to be triggered in the morning. Google Play Music still works fine.
The problem occurs at totally random intervals after startup, usually after a full day of being turned on, and I'm not entirely sure if it was initially caused by the JB update. I have enabled "Show all ANRs" in the developers options to no avail. When upgrading to 4.1.2 the OTA failed, as did trying to install the OTA files through CWM. I was forced to re-flash the device without wiping. I have a GSM Nexus running Stock 4.1.2 takju JB, rooted and unlocked with Clockwork Mod Touch custom recovery. I've tried searching the internet for people in the same situation as me, and although I've found several similar, I haven't been able to find the same problem, or a way to fix it. I have already tried using Fix Permissions in CWM, closing and uninstalling other unrelated apps, and Clearing the Data and Cache for all the affected apps.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

wipe data/factory reset
I realize that will almost definitely fix the problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of what could be done short of wiping or re-flashing the device. I'd like to keep a factory reset as a last resort, but thanks for the quick reply.

Not entirely sure if this is the same but my camera, gallery, music and a few others wouldn't work, giving a no storage error. I flashed a different kernel and now all is good, maybe worth a try before a full reset!

I've heard of a few problems like that, but my phone gives me no error dialogs at all, it just stops working. All the apps are fine until I try to view a video. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't, but if the video does fail and I have to mash home to to get out of the app then anything media related stops working with the exception of Play Music. Sometimes I don't even get an ANR.
I might try to flash a new kernel. Could you tell me which on you used?

Have you tried reflashing the gapps?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I haven't tried Reflashing Gapps yet. I've attached a logcat file from when Youtube, Gallery and Camera stopped working. Only Face Unlock displayed an ANR. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly when the services stop working, but it doesn't seem to be when I do something specific to the phone.
Backing up, reflashing the phone and the restoring all my apps and data fixed the problem. Thank you all for the sugestions.

On my G2, I've noticed that previously perfectly working apps will suddenly stop working, giving me a force close error whenever I try to launch them after being installed for a period of time. The only way I've been able to fix it is by uninstalling and then reinstalling the application.
Has this occurred to anyone else? And what should I do to fix this problem?
yes, i had this problem a few days ago...i did a factory reset and everything works fine as of now.
are there any solutions that don't require a wipe?
i had to wipe, and i lost all my mileage records i had entered into the mileage app, and my text messages before i backed them up...
its not too bad when its 2 weeks worth of information... but if this is going to occur often, its not going to be pretty
The two times that happened to me a simple power off/power on worked and they stopped Force Closing. I'm taking it that it didn't work in your situation and the uninstall/reinstall was the only fix?
yea i tried rebooting it several times, but after my latest wipe, nothing bad has happened...
still an issue that should be raised if its been replicated more than once
Ive had this problem with the stock browser and twitter, rebooting seemed to fix it.
Ah, one of those times where fix_permissions would be nice.
I've had to uninstall and re-install several of my apps because they've been force closing.

I've had this happen and it was acting really weird before it did it. It did like a vicious reboot and just about any app other than stock got a force close upon opening. It's gotta be software issues, god I hate stock roms. Damn TMobile and trying to restricting our joy of root.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
This is starting to happen to me on my G2 as well now. I have uninstalled the Apps I could (except the preinstalled ones) and still they are force closing on me. I also have Factory Reset the phone several times and it still is happening. I have already exchanged my G2 once at Walmart for a flickering screen but im pretty sure the 14 days are up now with them. At this point I'm sure I have to call Tmobile.
Anyone have any ideas before I call T-Mobile?
I'm not rooted at all just plain stock.
Thanks
Hey guys,
So just a little background: Running PA 2.53 on Trinity 63
The problem: Sometimes I'll try and play a video, on youtube, locally, basically anywhere and the phone just won't. It'll sit there loading then when I hit back the app FCs. A restart will fix the issue until I run into it again, at which point I have to reboot again.
Extra: This isn't exclusive to my configuration. I've had the same issue since I got the phone (before root and rom). The issue persisted on PA with the included kernel as it does with the Trinity kernel. I like PA though and would like to stick with that. I don't know if this is related, but when this happens my face unlock also stops working (loads for a second then flips to the pattern grid)
So, folks, has anyone heard of anything like this? I don't think it's a hardware issue since a restart usually clears it up, but it's really frustrating (and embarassing when I want to show someone a video I literally just took) Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I had the same issue. Uninstalling VLC beta solved it. I don't know if you have a third app video player installed, but you might want to try that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Only QuickPic. I just uninstalled it now and am seeing if it makes any difference, doubt it will since it's not a video player with its own codecs like VLC.
Bump, other opinions?
I have found a similar issue on another site that outlines the exact problem I'm having, seems many are having them since Jelly Bean. Factory Resets don't help.

After one month it had been away, a bunch of days ago I got my Galaxy Nexus back from the tech support (motherboard failure).
I proceeded to unroot it again and I installed ParanoidAndroid (6th March beta) since I was using that rom before it broke and flashed trinity on top of it. I noticed a peculiar behavior when trying to playback youtube videos (both in the app and in the browser): sometimes the request would just hang there and if I did anything like pressing the back button, the app would be found unresponsive by the operating system and the "youtube isn't responding. Ok|wait" message would appear. I just got back my Galaxy Nexus from mI just got back my Galaxy Nexus from mI just got back my Galaxy Nexus from m If in a boot session that happens, I get the same thing happening on several apps like twitch.tv and clock. I discovered that the clock app wasn't working properly last morning, when the alarm didn't go off and I kind of overslept to uni, it wasn't nice .
I tried flashing other roms and kernels combinations as well as factory resetting, fixing permissions, installing busybox, re-installing youtube, clearing caches of various apps.
Has anyone ever experienced something similar? Thank you.

Hi guys, I never posted here but am trying to find some help. I've had my S4 for quite a while now, and I just factory reset everything because I kept getting a "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." message that wouldn't go away or let me use my phone without an interruption literally every 2 seconds. But before I even had that problem, there were worse problems as well. There are two things that occur frequently:
1. Sometimes, when I tap on an icon, the indicator light shows up (a glow around the icon), but the app itself does not open. Then, if i tap on it repeatedly, nothing happens. I can temporarily fix this problem by opening up the recent/opened apps list (holding home button) and clearing everything (or clicking on that app if it had been opened). Once cleared, I can tap it again and it would open. As you might see, this can get very annoying and troublesome after doing it so many times. Is there anyway I can permanently fix this so that I don't need to keep clearing the open apps list?
2. Sometimes, when I unlock my screen, exit an app, press the home button, or clear the opened app list (as mentioned above), my wallpaper changes to an app. The app is usually random and sometimes is not one that I had opened. For example, the background of my messaging app or Astro File Manager would show up even if I had not recently opened it at all. I can also temporarily fix this by clearing the recent/opened apps list (as mentioned in #1). After clearing this, the wallpaper resets. Is there any way I can fix this permanently as well?
3. Snapchat and VSCO Cam constantly "stop unexpectedly". I don't know if this is a firmware or incompatibility issue, but it usually works fine. This message pops up once in a while and isn't too burdensome, but is still quite annoying.
Thank you for all the help in advance. I am trying to get the most out of my phone and appreciate any help.
Are you running stock or custom and has anything changed since you factory reset?

It's stock right now. Not rooted or anything at all. I didn't really change much of the device internally, only downloaded a couple of apps, but those have been working fine since the beginning. It is running Kit Kat, 4.4.2. I am currently using Nova Launcher as my home screen replacement.
So last night I came home from work and was going to take a picture of my daughter but the app kept immediately crashing. I used it just fine earlier in the day.
The weird thing is that it also does this in safe mode. But Open Camera works just fine; but I need that burst functionality. I just want the app to work and I'm clueless what to do.
Are you running rooted or no rooted? Tried resetting the camera app through Application settings? Wipe all data etc
Not rooted. I uninstalled updates and still does it. I haven't find a factory reset yet as if I do that I'll just root.
I was hoping it was an easy fix.
..
I randomly get this when I open my camera app
Same here, does anyone have a way to fix it?
