[Q] Play services problem - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering if anyone can give me some advice here. I have been running the last version of PSX rom that was released late last year. Yesterday my phone kept trying to repeatedly download google play tv and movies app with no success and I kept getting pop ups about google newstand not working. Then everytime I opened gmail with would say unfortunatley gmail has stopped working.
So I tried reflashing gapps. No luck
I restored a backup I had from january. same problem
I wiped and flashed jelly bean carbon rom and gapps. Same problem
I also wiped and tried a fresh install of psx and gapps. Lost root and gmail wont work but play store does work.
Not sure what I can do here. Any suggestions?

Well in case anyone else runs into this problem. I made it usable for me by freezing Google new stand with titanium backup and deleting gmail and replacing with the stock email app.

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] 4.2 - Installing & Updating Apps no longer works

I had a very demanding week at work and during a session of mental autopilot, I allowed a friend who had updated his Nexus 7 to 4.2 - talk me through updating MY Nexus 7 to 4.2 (kernel ver. 3.1.10-g22b4fcd). This is something I would never have done without a little checking to see what kinds of problems people were having, but I wasn't thinking clearly and gambled that it wouldn't cause any major problems.
The first thing I noticed was that none of my apps would update. Every time it reports an "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S - 5:AEC - 0]". I then tried installing an app from the Google Play Store, and got the exact same error. This happened with several apps.
I've had mixed results installing from the Amazon App Store, with a couple successes. However, it doesn't seem to log me in automatically like it used to. At least the installs were successful.
Next, I used Android Task Manager to Stop the Google Play Store app and Clear Cache and Clear Data and then cycled the power of the Nexus 7.
No Luck. I'm still getting the "Error retrieving information from server" message whenever I try to execute an update or downloading a new install.
I sure hope I don't have to revert back to 4.1.2 because I'm going to have a hard time getting everything setup and working the way I had it.
What should I try next? I greatly appreciate any help suggested. Thanks!
Solved
I created a new account and logged into it. Then I deleted my old account and re-booted the tablet. When restarted, I added my old account and logged into it. Now the updates are working without error.
I hope this helps someone.
I'm having the same issue on 4.1.2

Reverting back to GOOGLE PLAY 3.9.17 works, too.
Yep, that worked - just download from here and install ---> http://www.mediafire.com/?zqzgh798ybzo8b7

Tried this but unable to install it, likely because I uninstalled the Google Play Store updates and it rolled itself back to 3.9.17
Removing/re-adding account didn't work either, even w/ a reboot + clearing cache/data of the Google Play Store App.
4.2

I had the same issue. The only way I could fix it was going all the way back to stock and then rerooting.
Hopefully someone will find a solution that's a lot easier and less time consuming. Good luck to you. :good:
i have/had the same issue, not near a wireless signal now, so will try when i get home.
I've tried everything thus far :
flashing the official 4.3 from Google
flashing the deoxed 4.3 from xda
restore from TWRP back to 4.2.2
and still no luck with Instagram, so this morning before flashing backing to 4.3 i noticed that in the \sdcard\Android\data folder there's some app that sit behind instagram being one of, i also encountered the same issue with Strava Cycling, so I've now re-flashed back to 4.3 will test later when i download instagram from the play store.
Will update.....

Play Store keeps crashing.

I tried installing Blackout Play Store which is a themed app. I backed up Play Store uninstalled it and flashed the Blackout one. It worked for a while then started crashing every time I tried to download anything. (mind you I also installed Blackout hangouts, calendar, gmail, dropbox and all work fine only the Play Store crapped out) I then uninstalled and restored from backup but now it keeps crashing all the time. I cannot even open it without getting "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped working." and I get that sometimes even if I'm not using/opening it. I tried disabling, reinstalling, reflashing, disabling/enabling, clearing data/cache of both store and services and also updating.
I would like not to reflash my ROM so is there a way of fixing it without having to do that?

"Not Working" can mean a lot of things. What is it doing? You might have the wrong Google Services Framework installed. I assume since the phone is on 5.0.1, it is rooted? You might try just wiping the Data and Cache for the App for starters.
If that does not fix, try uninstalling the Play Store, and then just sideload and flash the .apk for the most recent version to reinstall. Sometimes a fresh install will iron out problems. If those do not work, some specifics on the Play Store version and what it is doing exactly would be helpful.

Phone is not rooted ( no superuser app or SU app installed ). Not working meant all i see is Downloading but nothing happens and after few mins i get error code 495. I cleared cache, reset phone but facing same issue.
I have 2 internet connections strange thing is that its working on one wifi but not working on other.
If it's a second hand bought.. Do a clean flash.. It is the best way to resolve the issue.. You never know what the previous owner has done to his phone..
