android.process.acore error - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been getting this error lately, does anyone know how to resolve it? This is on a Verizon LG G4 running stock Android.
When searching google for this error, there are lots and lots of results and some of them are quite old. So it is hard to determine which solutions to try.
So far I have tried clearing the data cache on contacts and google maps.

You may have to try ... a factory re-set (Settings - Backup & Restore), unfortunately. Use an app first to back up text messages and make sure you are backing up to your google account before doing the factory re-set to be able to restore all your apps, contacts, etc.
Good luck,

you can try factory reset if it doesnt work then use KDZ firmware for your variant verizon and flashs with LGUP.
just make sure that you flash the correct KDZ.

A factory reset is a lot of work though. I am going to try disabling Verizon bloatware (DT ignite, VZ Navigator, NFL Mobile, etc) and removing other installed software first to see if this helps. It would be nice to know more about what this error message actually means.

Yes, it can be ... for an explanation of what the error may be (it was my first thought as well) and some other possible solutions you may not have come across or tried yet, check this out: https://www.quora.com/What-is-android-process-acore
The factory-reset may in the end, be less work than disabling/ troubleshooting every app, one by one - doing more than one at a time will not help you isolate the problem ... in the event it recurs.

i think it wont work.. youll end up factory reset.

Update: the android.process.acore error is gone for now anyway.
I got another error saying unfortunately contacts storage has stopped. This error stopped happening after I disabled the Verizon messaging plus app on the G4.
I believe the carrier bloatware is a source of system instability. Next phone will be an unlocked LG G6, hopefully it will run better.

[Q] Google sign-in error?

On booting my phone I get an error that says (my email address) sign-in error. When I click on it it asks me to authenticate by typing in random letters (similar to those checks they put when you register for certain sites).
I never got this before installing the 2.15 baseband. Running the full 8/1 ROM leak.
Anyone else get this or know how to fix?
Seriously no one else is getting this error? I just did a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) and reinstalled the 8/1 ROM (full not slimmed version). Still get the same error.
It might be tied to Google voice search but I'm not entirely sure.
S-off with the 2.15 baseband if that matters.

Don't do it...I think it is a phishing spam BS hack. I got this on Saturday but didn't think anything of it. I entered the letters and then next thing I know I get like three wierd emails with a bunch of BS crap in them. Later that day one of my friends emailed me back saying they just recieved some fake spam email from me. I immediately changed my email password just to be safe...Good luck
I get this one every reboot. I think it's legit though, no spam so far and I can't open any of the google apps (market, voice search, etc.) unless I do the authenticaiton. I'm going to try wiping some of the google app cache's and see if that helps, any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Cleared data and cache from the market app, then re-did the fingerprint check in (call the *#*#<number>#*#*). So far it hasn't given me the error, we'll see if it lasts.

[Q] Help troubleshooting Google Play freeze after app install

I'd been using FF18 for quite a while without incident, but after upgrading to FI27 (not OTA, via the one-click method), Google Play is hanging the system immediately after successfully downloading and installing any given app. It puts me on the usual page allowing me to open the app, I press open, and wham, the system freezes until it reboots automatically about a minute later. The app that I installed then runs fine.
(In testing this several times, I should mention that one time I actually was able to open an app I just installed, but it hung about 10 seconds in, and the system rebooted as usual. It ran fine after that.)
I've searched around a bit for this and see that I'm hardly the first to encounter this issue. Sometimes it occurs when no recent update has been performed at all. Unfortunately, I haven't really found a solution yet. The best I've seen is to delete the data for Google Play and Download manager, and rebooting, which I've done to no effect. I've also tried uninstalling Google Play, but I think in this case that just leaves me with the same version that I had, the one that came with FI27 (in any case, that didn't help either).
How does one go about troubleshooting this type of problem? I suppose wiping out the phone and starting over would fix it, but I was hoping for more of a surgical rather than nuclear approach. After all, on a PC, you don't reformat when you have a problem with a program.
Have you tried wiping the data for google services framework?

I hadn't, but I did just now (there was just over 4MB there), along with a reboot following, and unfortunately it didn't help. Maybe Google Play services too, or something else?
Try deleting data for anything that says google play.

You stated you upgraded so I'm assuming you didn't do a fresh install. Even if you did do a fresh install, restoring data & apps from an older version could cause problems. You should try a fresh load and work your way back from there.
Edit: Saw you did the one-click. Still think you should try a full wipe and try it again with a fresh load to see how it goes.

I've now done that (though one or two had no data), along with the framework one you mentioned earlier, followed by a reboot, but it still happens. Arghh!

Yes, I chose the nodata FI27, since it said that it was good for same-version or upgrades (in this case, ICS to ICS), but I will choose the nuke-from-space one if there's no way out of this, though wouldn't just resetting to factory defaults at this point do the same thing?
It's a little bit disturbing that an issue with one app, albeit an important (though not essential) one, can require wiping the phone. If this were to come up again for some reason, maybe just one day out of the blue and not related to putting on a new ROM, it would be nice to know a way out.
Perhaps I can grab a log from somewhere with ADB?

If you have a custom kernel with recovery make a backup. Or get one and do it and then do a full wipe and fresh load. That is the only way you'll know for sure.
Yes, I will, but I thought I'd live with it a while to see what I could learn.
I've found that opening the newly-installed app is not the issue: simply installing a new app is. If I wait on the "Open" screen right after an install, and do nothing, within a minute the system will freeze and reboot.
Interestingly, updating apps does not trigger the problem, as numerous apps have updated this week, even one that Google Play wanted me to approve manually. Go figure.
Anyway, I have a logcat of an example in case anyone is interested. In this case, I initiated an install at 15:26, which is when the log begins. It ends shortly after the reboot.

Galaxy S4 will not boot past the load screen/Blue LoD

I tried to fix the google play store error by using the steps provided online (that seemed to work for most people) and now my phone will not boot past the initial galaxy screen. The screen goes blank and then I see a solid blue LED light at the top left of the phone.
I would like to know if backing up files at this point is possible, because I'm assuming the only true fix is a factory reset.
I was told that android has a built in fail-safe that would still allow me to access the files through a PC via USB. That has not worked for me. My computer shows nothing. I wonder if there is a way to reinstall just the android operating system (much like you would do with a windows pc) so that no files are erased and just the OS is reinstalled.
I've tried booting in safe mode, tapping the menu button doesn't do anything.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated. I'm ok with performing a factory reset, I'd just like to back up images and audio files before doing so.
Thanks

What play store error were you trying to fix and what exactly did you do to try and fix it?
It sure sounds like you've managed to wipe the internal memory clean. If so your only hope is to use Odin to restore it back to stock. If it works it'll work great but you will lose everything on the phone. Though again it really sounds like you have nothing on the phone.
The only other thing to try would be using Odin to flash a recovery. Then boot into recovery and see if you can back up the data partition. If that works you can use the recovery to reinstall a ROM.
Do people not do nandroid backup anymore?
☞ Sent from here☜???
The error I kept getting said "insufficient storage space available."
I had over 3 gigs of space left on my phone's internal memory.
I tried all of the obvious stuff before even seeking help online (clearing cache, making sure the system memory wasnt taken up).
Anytime my phone would attempt to update an app it would fail and remove the app entirely. Amazon Mobile was the first to go. It's only a 5Mb app and it said I didn't have enough storage space...yet I could download a 100Mb app I didn't already have and it would work fine.
I tried online suggestions like removing my google account from my phone, reverting the app store back to the stock version, re-adding the google account, then rebooting, and then my phone stopped working.
I'm pretty sure I know exactly what caused my phone not to be able to boot anymore though. Some people online had success using a google play store market fix app that is on the play store itself (not some sketchy site no one's ever heard of). I tried that, then when I rebooted it seems like my phone was bricked. A lot of people had said that app worked for their GS4's.
Any suggestions? I wish I could just reinstall android, get the files, then restore to factory conditions (if necessary).
I still have no idea what this problem is that you were trying to fix. I have never heard of this.
Still, using Odin to restore your phone to stock will work. Just flash the .tar file in Odin and it will be like you just took the phone out of the box.
Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.

The number error that came up with apps failed to update was error 923, which is a pretty common one people had trouble with. I tried every solution I could find, and this is what happened
I wanna help you. I really do. But I can't do anything without knowing the step by step details of what you did to get to this point.
Without that info there is no way to help you back out of thsi without a full wipe. So you are stuck with using Odin to do a full restore.

The step by step details of what I did are a couple posts back (I tried online suggestions like removing my google account from my phone, reverting the app store back to the stock version, re-adding the google account, then rebooting, and then my phone stopped working).
After that I tried a couple of the apps on the google play store that are supposed to be 1 click fixes for the google play store update error. That was my mistake. A lot of people had success with those 1 click fixes, but thats what I believe bricked my phone. I would tell you which app specifically but I can't access my phone (obviously) and they won't come up on the PC version of Google Play search.
Thank you for your desire to help. Is there any other method of communication we could use that might be more efficient for me to be able to answer your questions? IM or fbook chat or something?

I just gave up and wiped all data. I gotta have a working phone for work tomorrow. Trying to download the stock firmware for a full restore. It's taking FOREVER.
Revert to stock : Complete
Hate that I lost everything, but I shoulda been more responsible with backup in the first place. I am with my computers, typically am with my phone, but I was foolish enough to wait until I could get a great deal on a high capacity micro SD card...silly silly me.

random problems after unlock and root

hey guys, so i've an interesting problem that I've searched all over xda and google, but can't find a definitive answer/solution. Here goes:
I recently unlocked the bootloader of my t-mobile z2 force. rooted via temp flashing TWRP and magisk, everything went fine, no issues. restoring my phone went great, got a few "app unexpectedly closed" type messages every now and then, but it's settled down for the most part. the problem is that, periodically, my phone will lose sync with google (i think that's whats happening anyway). I will have no contacts in my phone app, text messages cannot be received, gmail fails to open, calendar has no events, etc etc. a quick reboot fixes everything, but then it will randomly happen again, with no indication, other than i think "i haven't recv'd any texts recently, lemme check" and i find it's happened again.
I hope this makes sense, because I'm not even sure i'm looking up the right thing in google or other xda forums. Has anyone experienced this? anyone know the answer?
Thanks in advance
Just a bump...anybody run into this or have any ideas?
I haven't had any problems like thoes. My Bluetooth goes a lil dumb from time to time and when I have wifi and Bluetooth on at the same time Bluetooth will just loose signal randomly. I'm just stock Rooted on T-Mobile.

My suggestion is to unroot, clear cache and Dalvik, and re root. See what happens and post results. Your app permissions are on for Google correct?
fastboot boot <TWRP file name>.img
Only now that you’re inside TWRP temporarily flash the TWRP .zip file you’ve saved into the phone
Reboot into TWRP again, flash Magisk

Keep getting this error on my phone.
There is not error when running on safe mode.
I have already perform factory reset but it doesn't help.
It is T-Mobile Stock ROM.

Hard resets are good for Trojans, worms, viruses and old loads but most times not much more.
If it's a software or settings issue you will likely toggle it again on the new load. Track it down and learn.
Be patient and keep observing the behavior/doing google searches/trying different things until you sort it out.
PD MDM is useful as you can block packages and also easily clear caches and data.

Disable automatic updates; destroyer of worlds. Set apps back to their factory load. It may be one of the Google updates... and as always clear the system cache on the boot menu.
This started happening on my wife's S10+ with factory T-mobile September update. Performed a factory reset, it started happening again later that night. I then tried reloading the factory OS through Odin and the problem again came back later in the night.
There has to be something with some software or setting trying to pull a network setting or something. No problem in safe mode, but no apps really load.
She ended up going to T-mobile store and upgrading to S20+ . Hope it doesn't come back!

•Added: this sounds like an update induced issue. Reset any associated apks back to factory load but don't reload OS, lol.
It could be a Google system apk.
Shotgun get it done... you can update them latter.
Reloads are not the solution most times; techs are either inept, lazy and maybe just enjoy screwing with customers. Of course they wuv selling new phones too.
Only persistent is omnipotent...
Clear the app cache in Samsung Device Care>memory.
When you see it go south go back to there and see which apks just loaded (most recent are at the top).
Many times you can get useful clues like this to find really nasty little misbehaving monsters.
Developer options>running apps/cache may useful too.
Use a package blocker like PD MDM to interrogate suspect apks. Lol trial by fire.
Try disabling it, if that gets it then try enabling it again but clear the cache*, if that doesn't get it try clearing data. Or you may need to leave it disable or uninstall it.
Again turn off all autoupdates so if it's one of those you see it go south when -you- update it. Most updates are overrated anyway... some are destroyers of worlds.
*clearing cache/data in settings leaves behind what I assume are nulls. PD MDM were completely clears these. This can be very useful with system apks.
Best to use this app for troubleshooting because of this. It's saved me from a reload more then once.
