[Q] Gmail crashes after booting Nexus One - General Questions and Answers

I've got CM7.1 on my Nexus One, and it seems to work well. Just one problem, though. Whenever I reboot the phone, gmail crashes as soon as I enter my unlock pattern, and it can't be restarted (just crashes again). I have to uninstall and re-install it from the market, after which it's fine until the next reboot.
Any ideas?

From memory, you have to download a 'special' GMail for CM. It's part of the 'Gapps' package you usually see on the same threads. I'm unsure if this is still the case, but it may be worth a try. I had CM7 on an Optimus 2x a few months back, and remember something similar although I don't use pattern unlock. Have you tried disabling your pattern to see if there's a conflict at all?

I loaded gapps originally, but I probably accepted upgrades from the market. But I thought the purpose of gapps was to get access to the market - not because CM requires special versions of Google apps. Am I wrong?

Quite possibly true. Been a while since I've used CM. Out of curiosity are you using a nightly or a stable build?
A quick search revealed it has something to do with messing with your application permissions?

Stable. I may have restored gmail from Titanium backup, which I guess could've messed things up. But I've uninstalled and reinstalled from the market several times. And after each reinstall, gmail works fine - until the next power down. I guess I could reflash gapps. But I'd like to wait for someone here to definitively tell me I need to.

Market Problem

I have been having this issue since oh I say about CM6 Nightlies 8/26-8/27 when the "Market Issue" crept up. And let me say I know that had nothing to do with this ROM per-say. I am using CM6 now on 9-1 nightly...Perhaps someone has\had the same problem.
No matter what I do using AppBrain or just the Market app I keep getting these dam force close on trying to download these 3 updates. 1. Handcent SMS and 2.Droid Battery and 3.Clockwork ROM manager. All of these apps I have removed and re-installed and then tried the market again...Still shows they all 3 need to be updated. Obviously when I am re-installing I am installing the last version I have prior to the updates that both sites say I need. Should I go into manage apps and wack all the updates for all 3 of these apps? Or is there a fix for the market itself? I have removed AppBrain and re-installed but that did not fix the issue either.
Now I have not been wiping anything on these nightlies I might add..And I have never had ANY issues other than the ones mentioned here. I have noticed the GPS issues as a lot of others have. But on 9/1 has ZERO GPS issues and locked in a matter of seconds. Also, I only can get ANY data via WiFi...<---A whole OTHER issue. But I know the fix for that. I just need to have my phone added with my Provider...Which is MetroPCS blah blah. I can get SMS and the Net of course now that there is a nice Proxy Setting which I hope that remains in the final build.
Anywho...Market issues anyone? Is there a way to wack the market.apk and re-install it? I have cleaned cache on just about everything I could think of..Re-set defaults etc on the 3 apps in question. Suggestions?
What I need is
Handcent SMS Version 3.2.9...Again I am NOT able to get to the market and I can't get on WiFi at the moment...
After further investigation ALL I need is Handcent SMS 3.2.9 I have the other versions I have NO idea why it keeps saying that I need to update the other two I have the latest of Gauge Battery Widget and ClockworkROM Manager. Hmmm interesting...

This is a recent and known google problem, not a rom problem. Google's servers have been overloaded, sot his is why the market is not preforming well.
i'm having a similar issue for quite a while now. probably over a month but i've just been dealing with it.
i think it started when i put cy mod 6 on my hero after a complete wipe.
i can not install any apps. from appbrain/market it will go through the dowload process and begin installation. but the installation is always unsuccessful. for almost every app. i've tried restoring from myback up, titanium back up, app saver. nothing works.
i was just about to completely wipe my phone & sd card but thought i'd take a look here first.
any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

[Q] Can't download/install any market apps

Today I received my new shiny Asus Transformer, everything works great except the Market itself...
I can't even download any apps, paid or free. When I try to download any apps, it start like trying to download, but there is no progress on notification bar and it just keep like that.
I reset the tablet several times, also, cleaned the cache of the Market and Framework services, shutdown (restart) several times... nothing
Is this happening to anyone? I searched this forum and performed the steps above, but still nothing...
Please, help
Have you look into My App area, you will see, not installed list of apps. I get that as well...I am not sure if it's a bug or intended. Sometimes, it would stay at download forever. I got to go out and go back into the Market and redo it all over.

Yes, sometimes the apps I am trying to download don't even appear there and sometimes it does. When it says "Installing" sometimes, 1 hour can pass and still nothing... no progress on the notification bar.
In fact, I can't install anything from there, not even using the website version, https://market.android.com/
I had/have this same issue I think its a bug in the market app. I've just flashed the new firmware and it seems to work OK now.
My solution was to press back over and over until I exited the market fully, then start a new instance of it. Works on and off.
Ill let you know if the update solves this issue.

Thanks for the info.
I tried that, still no luck I need to know if this is a widespread issue or not.
I have the EVO and tried to download apps and install them now without any problems.
Also, I have discovered that I can't log in into GTalk either, but I can browse without any issues.

Sounds like an odd issue with your account. Try to check settings, accounts an sync .. and see if anything is amiss. If not, then try to create a new gmail account, and use that to login to market/gtalk. See if there is some confusion as to your phone account and your tablet. Do you have settings>Privacy ticked off for google to back up your apps and sync them? Try disabling if so.
Had same issue and went into settings and had to delete my gmail account and then add it again, worked fine after that!
Thanks for the replies.
1. The Backup and Restore settings are turned off.
2. I have created another Google account and removed the original, still the same problem.
3. The EVO is currently off just in case.
After doing some research, I've discovered that Gtalk have something to do with the Market, if Gtalk can sign in, then the market should works for downloads. If not, then there is a problem.
ok... wtf
After adding a new Google account while replacing the original one, the issue still happened.
Then, I decided for a million times, to make another Factory Reset with my original account again... now GTalk logon and the Market download/install apps
I will keep this thread in mind and report if anything weird happens again.
Android Market hates me. I didn't really want to have to create another gmail account but I have tried every other trick posted and still can't get apps to download.
I had this same problem with my Samsung Fascinate. 3G would download fine but I couldn't get WiFi to work until just recently when I updated the radio that came with the OTA Froyo update plus a new custom rom/kernel. I'm not sure which piece all of the sudden made things work but I was certainly happy. What's so frustrating is that I set up a Droid on the same home network with absolutely no problems from day one.
Amazon App store works fine but many of the apps I want aren't available there. Grrr.

This occurred to me after rooting the TF. I was able to correct it by going into applications and force stop and clearing data on both Market and both google framework services. Then try to restart market, if you don't get a error go back to applications and do it again. Once you get the error reboot, when you try market after the reboot it will ask you to accept terms again and then all is was right again with the world.
I have the same problem. How I can do a Factory Reset?
It was working ok but now it gives an error with the server. Eventually it will download the aplication after trying several times but will fail in the instalation. I have deleted and created again my account with no results.
Welcome to my problem. Another member told me the issue lies with our google accounts and how it syncs up with the market.
I have tried the other methods deleting cache / signing in and out etc. to no avail.
Only solution is to factory reset. Sad thing is it has happened to me 3x in the past 5 days.
I only hope for a solution to this soon.
3 times, that is scary.
Something has surprised me when I upgraded my phone to the new Galaxy S 2 from HTC HD 2 running an Android rom. When I introduced the google account it automaticaly pointed me all the aplications that I had installed in the old phone (free or paid) and give me an easy option to install all quickly. They were identified as my aplications, even they were not installed.
Is this funtion present here? It will remember what aplications I had installed in the transformer before or I will need to look for all of them again?
solution to download apps
press on apps on the home screen. then press on market. this will get you started click on sign in at top right of screen. it should automatically do a sign in with your google account. then go from there

[Q] android.process.acore has stopped, on ALL lollipop roms, after complete wipe!

Okay, guys, here's the problem. I have been pulling my hair out for days over this. On any Lollipop ROM I install, no matter what combination of gapps and AOSP ROM I install on my OPO, after completely and totally formatting caches, system, data, and /data/media, the problem persists:
Always after logging into an account, but not always the same one, I start to get an error "android.process.acore has stopped." It happens every few seconds and renders the device unusable. I have tried every fix I could find online, including wiping contacts storage data, contacts data, etc. I have formatted my phone several times, and each time the problem comes back. It only stops when I disable Contacts Storage in settings, which then in turn disables all contacts functionality.
This is getting totally ridiculous, and the only thing I can think of is that the AOSP version of contactsprovider.apk is totally corrupt. Any ideas?
I have the same problem... Did you succeed in resolving it?

Somewhat. The issue manifests itself when Facebook is synced with your contacts, and you use Facebook OAuth to sign into another app. For whatever reason, this causes the contacts app to go nuts, and the only way to fix it once it happens is to get rid of the Facebook app. It's a bug that is quite beyond me to fix. There is a modded Facebook apk floating around somewhere, that has had permissions modded so it's not allowed to use your contacts or register as an account in your phone. That works. It also works if when you install a new ROM, you sign into any apps that use your Facebook login before you install the Facebook app, that way you log into them with the browser and they never talk to the contacts app. Once you have installed the Facebook app, DO NOT EVER click "Sign in with Facebook" in any app on your phone, or you're screwed again.
That's pretty much what I've come up with thus far. Hope that helps.
EDIT: Here's the link to the thread with the modded Facebook apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333637
I have the same issue on all CM12 based roms. It seems to happen for users with many contacts (hundreds). Uninstalling facebook seems to fix the problem for me. I have no such problems on my Nexus 5 with the same setup and facebook installed, so I wonder if it's not something specific to the bacon CM12 code.

Thanks for your partial solution @jkotzker... For me it's a no go because I am a big facebook user and I can install app with Facebook account linked at anytime... It's really really annoying to not log with Facebook account if the Facebook app is installed I don't know what to do... I tried everything like you.
I've recently been getting the same issue but mine says "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" everything was fine had this phone for about a month was on a lollipop ROM and that just randomly popped up. At first I thought it was the ROM so I switch to another lollipop ROM and got the same issue. So I went back to the latest ota kk ROM and til now I'm still getting the pop up. What's going on here?

Oh yeah I've been trying to figure this out since cm12 unofficially came out for the note 4. Like all of you said it's fine for a while or sometimes it's messed up right away. I've had it work for two or three days then out of nowhere just have the error pop-up and never go away. Disabling google contacts storage also got rid of the error for me but of course I can't have the phone without google contacts and sync. This last time it happened just by downloading and signing into Dropbox, which isn't related to Facebook at all. This is belong frustrating because nobody seems to have a fix and it's the only thing stopping me from using cm 12. Is there any Dev that can help or work on this with a logcat?

I didn't find one...
I talked about this problem in xda temasek rom thread and ak kernel thread without success. I even sent a message on official cyanogenmod website, with last crash and logcat attached. No success. The problem happened in 2012 too... And since then, Google didn't have a solution for it.
It seems that Google is finally aware about this problem and the correction could arrive in "a future version"... Well. I want it now... Indeed, there seems to be only to increase the buffer transaction between applications and contact storage from 1MB to 2MB for example, to have it corrected. But no dev wants to do it because the problem cannot be reproduced! And it's rare! But we have it! It's incredible to have it back after a full wipe... And happening randomly, just after a random sync between application and Android system...
Any more updates on this issue/ anything else we can do to get this resolved? Even my partial, temporary solutions have stopped working, and I am getting really frustrated.
Glad to see I'm not the only one here with this issue. Took different search terms to eventually land me here since this such an old and somewhat common issue. Nonetheless... Same problem. OnePlus One running Temasek CM12. Disabling contacts storage.... Blah blah blah. Its rather disappointing there's no actual solution instead of a workaround. But, I'm finally happy to know its Facebook. An app I rarely use but do need unfortunately.
Edit: wondering if anyone has had any luck fastboot flashing the factory image? I know it's a pain in the ass to have to back up all your files, etc off the device so I'd like to know if anyone has had success or even tried this. Cuz, I really won't feel satisfied until I've resorted to this last measure if there's the possibility of eradicating the problem.

I initially had this problem when I switched to lollipop, not sure how it fixed itself but I'm guessing it's the contacts sync like you posted here; only the first time I accidentally synced Fb contacts, and due to the massive number of friends on it, it crashed. But you can disable any sort of sync services on Fb and continue using the app for everything else, I've had no issues since.
Do you mean luck with fixing this issue after flashing the factory image or only returning to stock? Because I've had no issues returning to stock from lollipop by flashing the factory images through fastboot.

I meant with flashing the factory image via fastboot to stop the frustratingly obnoxious pop ups of the process stopping (w/o uninstalling FB). You answered my question.
So, get this... Resolved the error by uninstalling Facebook. Today I picked up a Moto 360 and you HAVE to install Motorola Connect to really personalize the device... Once I allowed it to see my Google+ account info the android.process.acore started again. I'm SO annoyed. Gonna try a factory reset again and see if that helps. The only way to stop it is to uninstall Motorola Connect and that really sucks cuz I want to (of course) mess with my watch. I know nothing of Android Wear yet or how to root, etc the 360 so.... Here I go. Boldly. Lol
I'm just curious why I haven't seen more people having this issue. It's been plaguing me now for almost 2 weeks. I'm ready to throw my Bamboo OPO out the effing window. WTF.

It's mostly not because of lollipop, but might be the app itself, I read a few others having this problem on other forums with HTC, the solution they found was to clear data on contacts storage. Give that a try and see if it works, if not I'd suggest going back to Stock or probably the new OxygenOS which is supposed to be out by now. Check out @timmaaa index thread in the general section, it has all the necessary stock images you need. Report back and let us know if it fixed the issue for you

Yea, I tried clearing contacts storage numerous times to no avail. I can live without the app... At first I thought it was a requirement to change watch faces... But, I do have a backup of stock, rooted but I can't go back to KK after being so used to LP. I'm def going to jump on Oxygen just to try it out but I'm guessing I'll end up running stock CM12s. I can't wait. I'd much rather have a stock (w/root of course) or mostly stock device that actually works completely.

The bug has been corrected by Google themselves with Android 5.1. Finally!.. So, like me, just try omni 5.1 or last cm12.1 unofficial and the error has gone! So good to use my phone.... Hmmm... How to say... Normally... Lol.

Very nice. Glad to hear this... Xposed isn't compatible with 5.1 yet, right?
Two things to try…
Go into settings/apps , press the menu button and select "reset app preferences". Reboot
You Can also try entering the following in your commands:
Su (enter)
Killall rild (enter)
reboot
Should have read the entire post, glad that has been fixed by google, I experienced the same thing and it's a huge pain in the butt.

No. Not yet. But. Well. CM12 is already good functionality wise. And with this bug disappeared it's really a happiness.

Neither worked but thanks for the suggestion. I did find a Facebook work around. Found the Lite Version via a Google search (since its technically not available in the US) , installed it and it works fine. No android.process.acore FC's or repeated pop ups.
Update: This problem reared its ugly head again on CM12 and I ended up having to uninstall Twitter this time. So, now I'm on CM12s and as soon as I logged into my other Google account user Boxers email app I got the android.process.acore crash again. Uninstalling that app immediately stopped it. God I can't wait for 12.1 for our OPOs. This problem is absolutely ridiculous. I can't take this anymore. I really can't use ANY social media apps unless its like Tinfoil for FB or Twitter. I don't have any connected accounts except Google & Cyanogen.. Which I truly can live without but... Just for the hell of it.... Knowing I have a backup and I'm about to clean flash the latest stock build I tried to add Waze and it caused the crash all over again. Uninstalling Waze didn't help. I shouldn't have to deal with this. Only way to stop it is to disable contacts storage. Once it begins it doesn't stop. Effing Google with their half baked crap.

[Q] Ongoing issue with "Chrome is not responding"

Firstly I want to apologize if there's a thread on this. I tried searching and didn't find anything. Google fails me as well.
For a few months now, Chrome has been driving me insane on my stock nordic Z3 (5.0.2 with the .690 firmware). I also have the most recent version of Chrome installed.
Every single time I open the app, it works for about 2 seconds, then completely freezes for around 15 seconds after which a message pops up stating "Chrome is not responding. Would you like to close it?" If I press "OK", it obviously closes the app and the problem appears again when I restart it. If I choose "wait", Chrome works just fine until the next time I open it. EDIT: The freezing problem started happening three times in a row a few days ago.
This happens every single time I open the app, whether launching it or opening it from the recent apps menu.
I'm pretty certain the problem has been around since the v39 build of Chrome, as 38 worked just fine. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Uninstalled updates and re-updated it, updating to lollipo didn't help, I also did a completely fresh install today (repairing via Sony Bridge for Mac) and it didn't help either. And apparently I can't go back to v38 anymore since lollipop doesn't seem to support it.
I would really want to use Chrome, as I've gotten used to it and enjoyed it quite a lot. I'd really appreciate the help.
Try clearing the data in settings - apps - chrome

I have done this too. Also, the problem persists even with completely fresh installs of Chrome.
Remove your google account, restart the phone and restore your google account

Tried it, sad to say it didn't work either. Interestingly it now does the same 15 second freeze, but without the error message in the end. Curious indeed.
EDIT: Got the error message again.
Does this happen on Wifi or on data?
If on wifi is always the same router?

I Use data 90% of the time, and various routers when on wifi. The problem occurs in all circumstances.
Are you rooted? Unlocked bootloader?
You say you are on the Nordic version of .690, is that the original region for the device you bought and the area you reside in?
Can you revert back to KK by flashing a FTF for your device and region and try V38 again to see if that works still.

I have a completely untouched device. So no root, locked bootloader and it's always been that way. Thus Nordic is the original region of my device.
I'd rather not flash back to kitkat, but I can tell you that I tried reverting back to v38 before updating to lollipop and it worked normally without the freezing issue.
This is my version of chrome on Lollipop. Can you update to this? I am also not rooted so you should be able to update to this

I have the same version of chrome as you. The problem has persisted during every single update after v38.
ok without logs I can go no further with this. Is there any chance you can pull some logs off your device?

How do I do that?
install a logCat app from the playstore

Does this require root? One of the apps I tried is requiring it and the other one isn't doing much either. Should I be doing something to make it work?

Maybe try the beta version of chrome in case it's a bug which has been fixed but not yet rolled out to chrome. Perhaps try this first as it'll be quicker!
Perhaps it's some data associated with chrome that's getting pulled down after each restore. Perhaps you can try, on a desktop pc, backing up your bookmarks and then deleting them, and clearing chrome's data on your phone, then trying again? And if that doesn't work try getting rid of extensions (not that I think they should be pulling them down as chrome for android doesn't yet support them, although I'm sure I read years ago that one day they would). And anything else associated with your chrome account.
Another one, perhaps quicker (not sure) would be to see if you can associate your phone with a new google account with no previous chrome use and see if it goes wrong with that one. It would help to rule out account-related problems.
Another possibility is that it's not chrome causing the problem but something it relies on; google play services, for example. Perhaps clear data on any apps chrome could conceivably use.
I'm happy to report that my problem is now solved, though still a giant mystery.
My upper speaker broke and I had to get it replace under warranty. I got insanely lucky as they replaced both front and backside glass pieces, the frame, the screen module itself and of course the speakers. So I've now got a brand-new looking phone So happy.
Anyway, I complained about the software being a mess so they also did a complete reinstall and after that Chrome works absolutely perfectly. As magically does everything else too. Not yet a sign of lollipop's previous lagging and rebooting.
It still bugs me, however, that why would Chrome suddenly start having this unreasonable issue. I had tried everything suggested in this thread and nothing worked. My own clean install didn't work. I'm really quite bothered by this.

Apps won't install

I've got an issue that I also saw on my note 8 before I switched to the op 7, when I go to install or update apps from the Google play store it gets to 99 percent or 100 percent it hangs and doesn't finish the install. I've tried all the wipes and clearing data and cache. Any ideas? Thanks.
Updating in case some one else has this issue, seemed to work for me. I wiped the following:
Play services
Playstore
And this one I hadn't done before
Download manager.
I've never really looked into something like the dm but after all the wipes and force stops I rebooted the phone and it seems to be working now.
Hope this can help someone in the future.

Scratch that, worked installing 2 apps, back to the same.
I have the same problem. There are brief moments when everything just works, but they are rare and it's ultra annoying
So I had a VPN installed, and I deleted the app, and now it seems to be working fine. I didn't have it enabled when downloading the app, and I found it sometimes gives me issues on my pc with connecting at first to an internet connection, so I thought there might be some correlation. The VPN I use is express. I'll keep trying to install apps and see if it resolved the issues.

So did I, and it started not installing again. I'm thinking its possible the sim might have something to do with it.

And you tried with New one? It works with New sim?
I haven't, need to take it in to have it copied, or do it myself. Never done it.
Another thing, never really took time to learn about sims, but if I pull the card in my phone, and just threw the new one that came with the phone will it work the same? With my number and everything?
I am also having this issue and even after a factory reset apps will not install. I tried removing my SIM card etc. Nothing seems to be working. The next thing I am going to try is installing the latest OTA update again manually via the downloaded zip from OnePlus's site.
Update: I tried installing the OTA manually, wiping all data, cache, etc and still the play store is not working correctly. I have never installed customer ROMs on this device or modified it in any way. Oxygen OS has been great so I never saw a reason to mess with it. In addition to that I have not even unlocked the bootloader.
Update 2: Some things are installing but it is exceptionally slow. I do not have any VPN apps or anything and this is a fresh wiped device. I cleared all system data, cache etc. Could it be a Google server side issue or something like that? Tying to side-load open source apps they install without issue instantly.
