GMail Keeps Force Closing - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So yesterday my phone automatically rebooted for some reason and now GMail app keeps force closing. Every time I click on the app, it says, "Unfortunately, GMail has stopped."
I've un-installed the app, rebooted, and re-installed from market. Yet, still same message. I've done a factory wipe and installed a different rom, yet still same force close. I can check my gmail from browser but the app keeps force closing.
I can't figure out how to get this fixed. So, any advice or suggestions?

I have the same problem on HTC One X running Viper rom. It started yesterday and I've restored rom from backup, deleted all account data, deleted and reinstalled gmail and the latest play services apk, I've tried allsorts but still no joy. I got gmail to work briefly earlier after reinstalling everything, it synced all my mails and worked perfectly, then as soon as I closed it and went back to it it crashed again. I've read that it's a problem on googles side, so now I'm just waiting and hoping it'll start working again at some point over the weekend...

I figured it out or at least, it's working now. I just flashed the Paranoid Android GApps instead of Banks GApps.

Gmail Issue: Waiting For Sync

Everything was working good until a few days ago. Now the Gmail app states that is waiting for sync. Your email will appear shortly..
And it never does. Ive tried turning off and back on the auto sync and tried to manually sync but I get an error message that says
Sorry!
The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Does anyone have an idea on how I can get it up and running again? Thanks.
I'm on JF's RC33
Ok, I figured it out. I went into settings and Gmail Storage and cleared out the data. Then I went back into gmail and entered my account information again and it seems to be syncing now. Really weird, I dont know how it just stopped working. Anyway, hope this helps someone in the future.
Gmail
Dont know if you have docs to go. but when i uninstalled docs to go gmail started working again for me. Now i reinstalled docs to go and havent had any problems yet.
Reinstall any apps you've been using to send attachments (eg. Note Everything, Doodleroid etc.), clear out your gmail and gmail storage data, and it should work.
Try to avoid sending multiple attachments at once: for example if you send one and it 'stalls' and you try to send it again, it could do this to your gmail.
I also had this issue. I resolved this issue by turning sync back on. Once I enabled sync, I was able to get right into my gmail account.
Similar problem here
(Using CM 5.0.8 final on my original black G1)
I can manually sync with the server to get email, but syncing seems to happen maybe once a day for the past week or so. It used to happen so frequently that i'd see email on my phone before i'd see it in my web browser if i was at a computer.
Haven't changed anything recently... Tried rebooting the phone of course.
Can't find the tool for clearing out gmail on my phone, so i haven't tried that.
any other theories?
thanks
Edit: Turned off sync everywhere and rebooted. Got stuck in a boot loop.
Used amon ra recovery console to wipe dalvik cache
Boot loop is fixed
Refresh problem seems fixed too.
yay?

Google maps suddenly force closing?

for some reason today whenever I try to open google maps it force closes instantly. Also, I haven't been able to get weather updates from weatherbug elite, it just keeps saying no signal, but i have full signal.
BTW I have the pre-dexopt patch installed if that has anything to do with this
I was having the same issue with weatherbug elite yesterday, but today the maps have been updating.
The MLS Matchday app has been force closing on me today, I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

Same here. Google maps, gmail and calculator. The only things i have done to the phone are root, and cwr from rom manager. I had to redownload gmail and maps from the market, but oddly enough, with a simple reboot calculator started working again.
Sent from my G2X like a Boss
I tried fixing permissions which didn't work
I then restored my nandroid backup pre-patch and now everything works fine. Looks like the pre-dexopt patch still has its' bugs.

[Q] Anyone having problem with installing apps from the market?

I have had the transformer for about 2 weeks with no problems installing any apps.
However I was unsuccessful yesterday and googled about clearing cache, but it didn't work so I had to factory reset.
Today, I'm getting the installation unsuccessful messages again. Is this happening to anyone else? I'm starting to get annoyed I have to factory reset to fix this problem.

This happened to me also, I did several factory resets, clearing cache, etc... nothing. Also, keep an eye on the GTalk app, if you can't enter the market, then it's possible that GTalk can't logon. However, the browser and other stuff should work.
What I did is created a temporary second Gmail account, then on the TF, go to settings and remove your account, then add the new temporary account. Again, clear the Market cache again and Google Framework cache.
Try to go market and login on GTalk, if you still can't, no problem, the same thing happened to me.
After that, I did another factory reset, during the initial setup, I used my original GMail account again. Everything started to work as it should, Market and GTalk.
The problem lies within the Google account, like something got stuck or another thing that I don't know. It was frustrating at first...
Occasionally google does maintenance and this seems to affect certain accounts more than others. If you suddenly just get this error then you're better off being patient and try again at a later time/date. Sometimes it's only a few minutes, other times it's hours. It's also worth trying to bypass the app entirely and try using a desktop browser to install.
i've tried using my desktop to install apps, but it fails as well.
i'll try giving it tomorrow to see if it clears up, if not i'll just have to factory wipe again.

Hangouts Can't Reach Google

Greetings... I just ODINed back to stock, took the OTAs, ODINed CWM, and then flashed Tweaked Lite 1.0. So far it's awesome. Only issue is with Hangouts. I'm getting:
Couldn't sign in because we couldn't reach Google. Try again.
I've tried restarting, just waiting (multiple days), updating Hangouts, clearing data in Settings->Manage Applications, wiping cache from CWM and nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestions?

I had this issue and did this and it fixed it for me...
Clear updates and data from Google Hangouts and Google Play Services.
Delete Google Play Services using Root Explorer.
Reboot.
Try to open Hangouts and it will prompt you that you need Google Play Services.
Download and everything should then work ok.
Yeah this happens from time to time, still not sure on the reason or rhyme (#drseuss). Doing things similar to what jdawg334 outlined has helped me as well.
I finally got it to work. I couldn't get Root Explorer to delete Google Play Services successfully but with all the deleting of caches, updates, and force stopping services it finally was able to log in. Thanks for the help! Loving tweaked lite.
the tip is gold worth for my SGT7 3G in fixing time calculation .
Found more info here LINK, and here the step by step description:
uninstall updates for Google Play services
tried to open Hangouts which prompted me to update Google Play services
updated Google Play services
ran Hangouts
Works!
So thanks to PalaNIN on reddit.com.
Can't access internet
I was able to get past the Hangouts problem, but I can't seem to access the internet after flashing Tweaked Lite. I can access the Play store, d/l apps and updated installed ones, send and receive e-mails, etc., but if I open the default browser or Dolphin browser, I can't connect to the internet. I was given this Charge from a friend, and want to use it as a wifi device only. It was already updated to FP8 when I received it, so I rooted it, installed CMW, wiped data/factory reset, then just flashed the ROM. I didn't Odin back to any previous build, just went with the OTA already loaded on the phone. The internet seems to be the only thing not working.
*Edit*
Guess I didn't get past the Hangouts problem. I uninstalled the updates to Google Play Services, then reinstalled the update, but still get the message "Couldn't sign in because we couldn't reach Google. Try again."

Yeah the hangouts thing is obnoxious - I went back to stock a few times to see if I made the issue but I couldn't get it to work there either. Not sure why the browser is acting up though - haven't seen that myself... not sure what would be causing that issue unfortunately.

I can't figure it out - not being able to browse the internet. It has worked once or twice, but I have no idea what changes to allow it. I restored a backup back to stock to check if I could browse then, and I could. I then reflashed TLite, but still had the same problem. I just restored the backup back to stock and I'll leave it there for now. I use the phone for wifi and a couple apps, so it should be fine for now. At some point I probably should try Odining back to a previous version, installing the OTAs, then flashing TLite. Would I want to repartition when going back to EP4D?

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Your usage matches my own (no sim card even), and I have yet to encounter any sort of browsing issues at all.

same deal here. it worked once. my theory is that it might have to do with Google Play Services. I'm thinking the Lite version blocks something or left a key file out.
found this: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1647495?hl=en
and this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...ogle-hangouts-cant-sign-updated-solution.html
another hint
My situation was the same, google play services uninstall,reinstall doesn't help the login issue.
But at least : cleared hangouts data and google play services data, then on my PC I've log in to my gmail account and at the bottom left corner i've enabled "the new kind chat" (means Hangouts instead Talk) and then the hangouts on my phone immediately logged in to my account...
interesting...

[Q] Unfortunately, YouTube has stopped

This problem started about two weeks ago. YouTube randomly popped up the default (useless) message stating that YouTube had crashed. It repeated the message over and over; I had to remove the app just to be able to use the phone. I fixed the problem by clearing the Dalvik cache and normal cache from TWRP, then reinstalling YouTube from the Play Store. That worked for a few days, then the problem started again. This is annoying but I was at least able to fix it.
Today, however, the problem started again and this time clearing the caches didn't work. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated to be able to use the app again.

Try to clear app data and cache for Google Play Store, Google Play Services, framework and YouTube. Reboot and try again. Uninstalling updates of YouTube or removing your Gmail account could help too.

I've now tried all of these steps--cleared data/cache for Store, Services, framework, Youtube, uninstalled/reinstalled YouTube, still didn't work. Removed Gmail account, rebooted, re-added Gmail account, still nothing.
I don't know if this is related, but as of several days ago (after this original problem started) my Google account no longer auto-syncs anything. I have to manually sync everything from the Accounts section of Settings. I use the Gmail app; very frustrating to not get updates.
If the problem persists whenever 5.1.1 gets pushed out I'm planning to do a 100% clean reset of the phone, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
