Nexus 4 big problems - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have some problems with my device, almost all applications are crashing: 'unfortunately the app stopped working' and sometimes it hot reboots by itself. The problem dissapers if i go in safe mode, i can download apps from play store, but when I reboot in normal mode and want to launch the app that I download it crashes again. I tried using the stock 4.3, 4 custom roms, different kernels, but the issue is still present, the phone is practically useless, I can only make phone calls on him..., everything else crashes. The problem is that I can't RMA ,because I bought the phone second hand.and doesn';t have warranty

and have you tried wiping data and running without any installed apps? then install one app at a time.. it sounds like it can be an issue with something that you installed.

Try downloading a stock rom, kernel, and IMG and flashing that. Sometimes stock fixes everything

Yes, I wiped everything in recovery ,even system too. After I log in in my google account everything starts to crash, gapps, UI, android keyboard etc. I tried making a new google account ,but nothing works, sometimes the play store works ,but I can;t download files larger than 4-5 mb, because at the end it says package file is invalid. In safe mode workes fine.

Sounds like you have the wrong gapps file. Or a corrupted one. Try a newer version.

I would try wiping and reinstalling whatever rom you are using.

well i did a full odin restore, installed a stock.zip, turned on my phone, signed into google, and my market worked for 30 seconds and now everything is "download unsuccessful" as it was doing before. am i screwed? lol
I use appbrain to manage all of my apps. Install the app first then sync all of your apps. After wiping/clearing cache, you can just reinstall appbrain, sign in and sync.

[Q] G2 force closes new apps after reboot

A few days ago I updated cyanogenmod on my phone to a nightly build and found a weird problem. Whenever I installed any app and rebooted the phone, the app would always force close when it was opened. This problem kept occuring even if the cache or the data was cleared, and the only way to fix the problem would be to uninstall and reinstall the app, which would last untill the next reboot. Also, some apps would not appear in the app drawer. I tried to install a stable firmware, but the problem still exists. Is there a solution?
It even got rid of google play! The only way to get it back is to uninstall the updates and then reupdate it.

process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working error

I've searched for a fix for this error but all it brings up are like 100 page threads and I can't get to the exact page. Does anybody know how I can stop getting this to pop up? I've tried switching roms but the next one does it as well. Any tips?
Nobody knows a fix for this one?
For me, turning off Sync Browser in sync settings for my Google account fixed this problem. I am using a HP Touch pad though, but should be the same on any android device.

Same thing is happening on my touchpad when I click sync browser that comes up. Turning it off is fine with me thanks for the tip.
This happened to me occasionally when I was running a custom rom but since I updated to the next version of the rom and flashed gapps, it hasn't come back. There did not appear to be a reason or rhyme. I tried to reinstall chrome and gmail but not sure of the results. May want to try that.

process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working
I have the same problem. The only difference that I know exactly when happened and what is the reason.
I upgraded to JellyBean, but just before that I force stopped some running apps thinking of a "clear" upgrade (WRONG).
Then after the upgrade (I was rooted before it) I opened Titanium Backup and noticed that some applications were showing as uninstalled ???
I did not uninstall them - but somehow they ended up uninstalled after the upgrade.
I suppose this happened because I stopped those few processes just before upgrading.
Now the applications showed as uninstalled are: "DRM Storage Protected..." Media Storage" , "Gallery" and some more
All those missing now ... I cannot start Google Store at all !? It opens for a second and closes itself. Tried to restore those with Titanium Backup but it does not restore them ... just runs endlessly.
PLEASE HELP !
I would try to flash the factory rom, unless you are using custom, flash the custom with gapps.

Here's the most simple fix. Remove your Google account and add it again.

It's been driving me nuts.
As soon as my Nexus 7 boots I get the message.
I removed my Google account and re-entered my details.
The message popped up again as soon as the account was added.
I'm on the stock 4.2.1 rooted ROM.
Factory reset next without restoring a backup.
Speaking of backup. When I used the ADB restore command.
I had the message that my device will restart. It did. I then had the Restore screen on my Nexus 7.
I hit Restore my data button or whatever it's called, and my tablet reset immediately. And no data was restored to my Nexus.
It's seems that is broken too.
I cleared Data and Cache of Browser (my stock Browser) and error disappeared, problem fixed...
I'm having this issue as well. Started happening after I flashed Paranoid Android 2.99 Beta 6 and the current gApps zip.

Did you tried this? (Comment before yours)
Finally cured it on my stock rooted Nexus 7.
Factory wipe and didn't restore any system apps.
So far so good.
I tried every other trick in the book.
So in the end, a wipe was the only option.

I just solved this on my Nexus. It was one of the google apps having a sync issue. I solved it by turning each one off till the error stopped then uninstalling it and reloading it.
TWRP 2.3.3 installed via Goomanager.
With rooted stock ROM 4.2.1 I used GooManager to download latest Paranoid Android 2.99 Beta 9 and GAPPS-JB-20121011.zip.
Factory reset and wipe of Cache & Dalvik then flashed PA from Goomanager
Nexus booted into PA
Opened Goo manager and flashed the GAPPS I'd already downloaded.
Nexus boots into unlock screen but then says "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and when that is cleared I get "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped" over and over again.
I don't get an opportunity to do anything other that re-boot into recovery.
I've re-flashed GAPPS by itself over the top, as well as PA and have tried, from within TWRP, to flash both one after the other. I always get the same errors.
Any advice please?
[Edit #1]
Used Wug's NRT 1.6.1 to flash back to stock, unlock and rooted again.
Installed Goo Manager again and downloaded GAPPS and PA 2.99 and going to see what happens.
and.....
Exactly the same problem!
[Edit #2]
Solved.
There was a later version of GAPPS that Goo didn't have listed.

[Q] Sudden reboot and lost app data?

I was running cm-10.1-20130222-NIGHTLY and Faux's new 7b6 beta kernel. I had just overclocked to 1.8ghz and had run some benchmarks when I decided to get Geekbench and try that too. It installed fine and I clicked to open the app when the entire system froze and it rebooted. I then got stuck on the boot screen so I though i must have over clocked it to hard so I wiped cache, reflashed cm-10.1-20130222-NIGHTLY and the stable faux v6 kernel.
Once I got in, the wallpaper had reset, when I tried to open any paid app it insisted that "App not installed"( when I could see the package in the /apps-asec folder), i couldn't re install the missing paid apps (error -24) and some free apps had its data wiped. I though it might be permissions so I rebooted to recovery(which was unusually laggy) and fixed permissions, which didn't help.
This is the strangest occurrence I have ever had on my Nexus 4. The system seems to work fine, besides the above problems and a simple wipe and flash should fix those problem. I understand the freeze was probably caused an unstable overclock but why did I loose my data and Android cant find my paid apps? I just fear i might have damaged the flash storage somehow and am mad I lost some semi-important data. Does anyone else know what just happened?
AW: [Q] Sudden reboot and lost app data?
This has also happened to me a minute ago. Using Rootbox 3.7.1 as ROM and Fauxkernel 7b6. A lot of data is suddenly gone, when flashing gapps I can't use my phone at all anymore because the setup keeps crashing and yeah. I tried wiping cache etc but without success. Gonna do a factory reset now..

Wont download or update apps from the play store

I've had my G2 for a few months now, no problems. Earlier today i noticed that it wont update my apps or i cant download new ones. its just constantly stuck in the starting download stage, never actually starts downloading.
I've tried:
force closing the play store app
clearing the cache and data from the app
signing out of hangouts then back in (read that might help)
restarting phone, and powering off then back on
I am out of ideas. anyone have any suggestions?
I am having tg the same problem. Started earlier today. My guess is it's a problem with the market. Hopefully fixed soon.

ROM upgrade.
I have had this issue in the past and found updating the kernel from the custom rom's stock kernel to another kernel(furnace, paek, etc.) has worked for me.
I'm just on the stock LG rom, I've rooted, but that's all I've done. So not sure how to update the kernel.
Get a custom recovery like can or twrp, then look for a kernel compatible with your device
