[Q] Google apps force closing? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having this problem since the last Google+ update? I even flashed back to a previous backup that I made before the latest Google+ update. Still have the same problem. Google+ works fine but gmail or gtalk force close. Just wondering if I'm the only one having the problem.

I meant google voice....not google+

Try wiping the data from the app.

Google voice updated and FCs on many devices. Since it is a system app it probably was not replaced when you restored if you did an advance restore or did not choose sytem apps. Delete and try to restore it. I restored my previous version from Titanium Backup.

Uninstall the app completely, then reinstall from the Market. Still, the GVoice app is still buggy as hell, it keeps freezing on playback and FC's 40% of the time if you select to choose every time whether to make a call using GV or not. I've always had nothing but problems with GVoice app in its every iteration, since my BB Tour days...

Correct me if I am wrong, but is GVoice really a system app? After ODINg to stock, had to load it from the Market every time.

Bad thing is...gmail is the app I want to use but can't.

Clear data in all the apps FCing and also in Google Services Framework.
And I thought Gvoice installed itself in the system directory. That is what I meant by system app.

Clearing data on framework and gmail did the trick!

Glad I can help. Almost any Google app that FCs also corrupts the data in Google Framework. Option to clear data there is no longer available in the GB leaks

Yeah..I used mybackup pro. No option using the GB leak.

Market apps nor showing up as installed.

I'm running CM7 and all my apps are only listed as free and purchased. They all work fine and are in app drawer but im not getting update notifications because the market thinks they are not installed. I have went to settings>manage apps>market and the only option is to uninstall updates, cache and data are greyed out.
I have tried downloading them again and they will download and install then show as installed but within a few hours revert back to saying free or purchased. Anybody else have this happen or know of a fix?

Sounds like an auto restore problem...... try uninstalling all of them and then reinstall..... plus go into privacy and turn of the back up my data with Google option and see if that works

Tried that and still no luck. Gonna try wiping and reflashing.

Yes, you're not alone on this issue. See the following thread:

I'd roll back to the most recent 'working' version you had. For me, that is back around v 1.4...
How do u revert back to the old version?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
If you go to market and go to your 'downloads' section there should be an option to 'uninstall updates'.
I just checked it it only say uninstall, and I checked google maps its the only app that I can uninstall updates. Weird =0

I use appmonster and you can back up just the app without data. It autoback's each app you install without over writing the previous version. That way if an update gets jacked like this one you can uninstall it, go to your appmonster folder, and reinstall gthe previous version. But the uninstall updates works if you don't want to purchase an app. Imo appmonster is the shiz because you have the apps .apk file. Saves time on installing apps after a full wipe if the sync feature doesn't work as it should(which in my opionion hardly ever works)

How to stop freezing of some system apps

Google doesn't want me to use earth, Google play movies etc if I m in India and it keeps freezing these apps even if I unfreeze it.
I would like to unfreeze Google earth app and song search widget permanently but couldnt find a way. I tried converting earth to a user app using link2sd but that failed.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
try TiBu, on the main screen pick the middle button at the top and scroll down to the app you want unfrozen, tap it once and click unfreeze. Let me know if that works for you.
Thanks for the pointer. I tried it with Tibu but after a reboot the apps are frozen again
I think the boot process on android freeze undesired system apps. So probably it will require some script/app to unfreeze again at startup.

Package Enabler
Thanks .It does what I need but I will have to request the developer to add some customization. As of now its all or none. I will need capability on unfreeze "some".

Are the apps you're using system apps? If so, use tibu and convert them to user apps. You can do this by long pressing on the app and convert to user.

I had tried that with Google earth but conversion from system to app user failed. I had tried that with link2sd , I can try with TiBu and see if that works.

Converting to user app worked fine from TiBu. Looks like link2sd is not as effective as tibu for conversion into user app. However it doesnt work for widget (sound search for Google play) as tibu doesn't give an option to convert into user widget. I would love to use it on my block screen.

Tried everything from the moon to the sun.
Error 493 or 491, package is not valid, etc.
I've tried everything and then some. Removed googlw account, reboot, add google account. Cleared data and cache on playstore. Uninstalled updates. Cleared data on services framework. Rebooted, rebooted, and rebooted some more.
NOTHING is working. What in the hell is going on?????
P.s. even tried cache and dalvik clear tgrough recovery. Even flashed a new rom, factory reset, all that. When I say I tried everything from the m9on and sun, I mean it.

You haven't modified your DPI settings or are using a ROM which requires some sort of modded Play store are you? Or changed build.prop settings?

Nope. Same problem on Virgin Rom, Golden Eye Rom (where I noticed the problem), then Darth stalker ROM.
All have the same issue. Even factory resetted on all ROMs. Same issue.
Here's the kicker. I'll try something new that I haven't tried before, then 1 app that was giving me problems will actually download. Then to definitely make sure if it's been fixed, try downloading something like Rom toolbox, same error message.
This happened ever since Virgin Rom, and really started taking effect once I flashed Goldeneye ROM.
Not saying those ROMs are the root cause, but just giving you guys a more clear picture of when this started happening.
If anything, it happened ever since I re rooted my phone.
Remove your Google account and re add it. Also recommend clearing data for Google play services, play store, and Google services framework as mentioned above. Do all this at once then reboot. Should fix it. At least it did for me.

Just realized that romtoolbox is the only app that gives me problems now.

Package invalid

Okay so first things first:stock rom stock everything
What I've tried before asking for help
1. Tried re-downloading said apps (multiple apps)
2.uninstall-reinstall
3.clear playstore information
4.opera normal is the only one of a couple that are giving this error that I care about. Tried using other versions of opera that have never been installed before on this device or downloaded from my playstore account, they work perfectly fine. Its just the one version that just happens to be (what's in my opinion) the best.
Havent tried a factory reset, this happened after I synced/updated with kies and added a whole bunch of music on my standard 16gb sd card....had to move it from my phone storage because it caused problems
My question is obviously how do I fix this?
As a part 2 to that question how do I figure out where my phone is default installing apps? It should be the phone storage not the sd card right?
EDIT/UPDATE: FIREFOX GIVES SAME ERRORS

Or you could roll back to a previous version of the PlayStore by uninstalling the current one.
That worked in a number of cases.
I had the same problem and I had to do the following:
1. Cleared the cache and data from: Google play store, Google Play services, and Google Services Framework
2. If under the Google play store there is a button to uninstall updates do that as well.
3. Reboot into recovery and clear cache and the davik cache
I then rebooted and I was fine. Have not seen the problem since
