Perma-stuck at "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped."
I have dealt with this error many times on other phones before, but it is different this time around
Usually i go to setting->apps and wipe some media apps then everything is fine
However, on the G4, i cant click anything in setting, the error message overrides every button in the setting page and i cant get to the page that wipe apps
i have some really valuable pics in my phone but i cant extract them since the media storage is dead
is there any way to fix it without wiping the phone, or is there any way to extract the pics? thanks!

[Q] Is it possible to get access to internal storage if unable to boot into android?

My gnex was super stable since I got 4.0.2 (stock ICS, no changes whatsoever) except that it randomly crashed two days ago. I got "Android UI Stopped" message couple of times followed by lots of similar "stopped" messages refering to different system processes.
looks like two last posters in this thread had the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383109&highlight=ui+stopped
It was exactly like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeoo1Nx2T-o
I tried going into odin mode and starting fastboot. From there I deleted cache. I didn't want to go further and wipe all data and lose all camera files..
I wanted to gain access to internal storage and take backup of DCIM and other folders before wiping memory and going back to factory defaults from fastboot>recovery and was unable to do so.
Every time I went to fastboot or odin and connected GNex to the pc with usb I got could not install Android 1.0 and OMAP4440 drivers error message in windows 7.
What should I do?? Any suggestions? is it possible to get into internal storage if one only can access fastboot/odin?
(btw I tried to turn on gnex again after having it turned off the whole evening and it booted normally!! the only thing was that background wallpaper got reset. nothing else has changed.. dafuq?)

Can anyone please help me out here.
I am stuck with this error for the past 3 days i can't use any apps nor call/text.
Everything has been force closed, which is very annoying.
I am about the reset the phone to factory settings BUT I need to backup my photos.(But my laptop wont detect any internal storage)
The computer can detect the Xperia Ion but when I click on view files for the internal storage, it says the file folder is empty.
Can anyone tell me how to back up my photos/data with this error??
Thanks
Anyway...not to leave the OP in an angry mood, last time i checked, a factory reset does not wipe your photos :/

[Q] Can't edit contact pictures.

Installed the GPE RUU and love it.
The only bug is that if I try to assign pictures to a contact I get the 'unfortunately the process android.process.media has stopped.'
If I say ok and click on a photo it then says, 'contacts has stopped'
Anybody else get this and does anyone have a fix?
SOLVED: Brainfart - just needed to clear cache in apps/media storage. DUH!

Widget loading error

I keep getting this error message that quickly flashes on my screen. It say something like "error loading widget, uninstall and reinstall widget. I have no idea which widget the message is referring to. I have not installed any new apps or widgets in a month or so. Is there a log somewhere that may have details of the error? Or maybe an app that can help? I don't understand why the error message doesn't just point out which app is causing it. Thanks
I am having the same issue and can not figure this out. I have deleted all the widgets check to see if they were on the ext sd card, tried different launcher etc... And still the same issue.

Did you ever find a solution? I removed all of the widgets I remember installing. I still get the error message. The error doesn't seem to effect the performance of the tablet but if there is an app that's constantly trying to load and failing maybe it is somehow effecting performance. Anyway it's just very annoying. I may just reset everything and start over.
I did a factory reset and all is good now no more error.

android.process.media has stopped

After switching from 7.1.2 beta to 7.1.1 stable I keep getting 'android.process.media has stopped' error whenever i try to use any media related apps or when i try to share images in Whatsapp and it crashes that app too. I've had tried everything from clearing data of Media storage, download manager, google play services, google framework, google play store to Factory reset, flashing factory images, applying rescue OTA. None of them worked and I still keep getting those errors.
Does this means that there's something wrong with the Flash memory. I am just tired of getting this phone repaired again and again. I already had two repairs in last 5 months. One time they replaced the Display because of dead pixels and last month (January 2017) they replaced the motherboard. Now, I've switched to another phone as this phone has became so unreliable to use anymore.
Update 1: I just used my another device(Oneplus One) which is on LineageOS and it is showing the same behaviour. android.process.media force closes with apps like Xender (when connecting to PC), WhatsApp (when scrolling through images u want to send).
Update 2: It seems there was some corrupted Image file which was causing that error. Now, everything is fine.
PS: Mods can now close this thread. Thanks!
