bump. I too would like to know as this app is the cause of all the market problems (downloads hanging).
it is annoying having to sign in / out of gtalk first.
You can use "Root Explorer" to uninstall system apps you don't need, but I don't know if it'll cause FC's.
Just remove the .apk in the folder /system/app or /data/app and the application will be uninstalled. But as I said, I don't know if removing GTalk will cause you problems.
I didn't think Gtalk could be removed without causing other problems. it is a system app so won't be causing you problems memory wise so just leave it there.
ONLY remove talk.apk, remove anything else that has "talk" in it's name will stop market form working.
if you remove talk.apk, is there any way to trigger the market downloads? i find myself starting talk from time to time, when my market won't download anything...

that was my thinking.
Market will never work properly without Gtalk.
removing talk.apk worked fine for me. Market still works perfectly.
market works for me too
Just to let you know some 2.1 roms have an issue where market will just close (not FC) and it is only solvable by signing into gtalk.
If you don't have gtalk and are on one of these roms then you won't have market.
Unless another workaround can be found.
The reason for me wanting to uninstall gTalk is so I don't suffer from the market issues.
But will removing gTalk solve the market issue? (downloads wont start) or is the problem not related to gTalk but the only solution is to sign in / out of gTalk?

Does anyone know what com.google.process.gapps is? I think, im not quite sure, but it might have started coming up randomly after I moved the caches to my sd card. It doesnt do anything when I hit force close, everything im still doing stay the same, its just annoying having it pop up periodically. Does anyone know how I can fix this without having to wipe my phone or anything? Thanks
wipes suck..
I used astro to copy all my apps to my sd so all I have to do is install each one , one at a time which is tedious but better than the market and, I have now noticed if I hadn't done that Id have to buy all the apps since I bought a second G1 in white gave my black one to my wife after a wipe, then used the same sd to re install stuff to the albino one.
But it seems to me that this point other than pinpointing the problem to 1 or 2 apps then kill them and hope it fixes the problem, not alot is known about these lil' suckers so most of the time wipe is the only option, but all your contacts mail & stuff is sync'd from the goog servers so its not as bad as rebuilding most pda/smartphones.
soon im sure things will get easier and better
bhang
Yea I think im jus going to backup my stuff with mybackup, then wipe it, cuz its really annoying
Be careful with that. I encounter problem a while back, cant remember what I did to cause it, but when I rebooted I had to sign back in to my gmail account and couldn't get a data connection with the setup wizard. I had to reflash all the way back to rc29.
I jus wiped it and and used mybackup 2 restore everything, but I encountered a problem with Download Crutch, whenever I tried to install another app after I installed Download Crutch it would ask me to choose what app to use to install the other apps, Download Crutch or Package Installer, and it would freeze at [email protected] screen and say "Android has enountered an error" or smthin, and ask to wait or force close, but it wouldnt allow me to choose, it would just freeze. So I uninstalled it and successfully reinstalled my other apps, everything is fine now, im leaving Download Crutch uninstalled
Linda File Manager has a "download crutch" built in (lets you pick what to associate files with). Download crutch seems to be just that small part of linda file manager. best file manager, imo. Astro is juuust behind it

You should have just clear data of gmail application and error would have gone.
How do you "just clear the Google data"?
hcleared gmail data but the error still comes up...
hi, I've cleared the gmail apps data just as the post above suggested, but the error still comes up... now everytime I open gmail it'll force close immediately.... appreciate any help.. thanks

com.google.process.gapps
I narrowed the problem down to "google talk" on my EVO. I went into settings about 30 mins ago and i haven't had a pop up yet.
If you frequently use Gtalk, there are other messaging apps such as Palringo that syncs with gtalk. Hope this helps!
try disabling Gtalk...worked for me.
How did you disable Gtalk? I removed Gtalk and it started having this issue in gmail... the only way I fixed it was by putting Gtalk back.
wiped entire phone and reinstalled everything again... dunno why this happens but when it starts I cannot revert it.

I think I had similar problems with my Googles Apps, and a few other apps. What I did was installed Titanium backup. Backup up the apps that I was having problem. uninstalled the apps, and reinstall them from the Market. And that solved my problem.
Hi!
I was experiencing the same problem, and I couldn't install anything from Market. The problem is caused by the gtalk service. If you have it uninstalled, you can get it from a dropbox link. Here it goes: dlDOTdropboxDOTcom PERuPER15246936PERgtalkservice.apk
Of remove the spaces and the other stuff. Unfortunately the forum does not let meg paste external links since i'm a newbie here.
A guy named SAPS uploaded it. Say hallelujah It solves both problems.
Cheers
Could you please give me some more details about what i have to do with this :
dlDOTdropboxDOTcom PERuPER15246936PERgtalkservice.apk
I also have the same problem. I can't download anyting from the market. And my knowledge about computers is not too much.

You press menu from your home screen
click on setting
click on applications
click on manage applications
click on all
click on "app name"
click on clear data
Don't ask me which app, cause I am still looking for it.
On my galaxy tab from tmobile, I cleared the following: contacts, gmail.
It fixed it
But on my G2 from tmobile, i ****ed up the sync, and had to restore it.
The app that I think that cause the problem for me was the bump app.
I recently installed an app called Moon Phase, and promptly decided it was useless to me. So as usual I uninstalled it. Unfortunately it still appears in the Market as an installed app (even after rebooting). I would have tried to install and uninstall it again, but the buttons in the app's page in the Market are greyed out. How do I go about removing the app from my download list in the Market?

Easiest way is to find the apk online somewhere, install using astro or apps installer/whatever and then going to market downloads section then uninstalling the program again from there.
The hard way is forcing the market database to rebuild itself.

Only do this if it is a free app, do NOT pirate (or support piraters)

Or, a wipe.
Tried various market database fixes myself but eventually had to just find the .apk somewhere else, install with Astro then remove with Market.
The app in question is definitely a free app (this one). I will e-mail the developer to see if he can send me the APK. Thanks for the info guys!
I will be updating this as we get more info in. Just post a reply and I'll edit the top here.

Titanium backup or use es file manager with root access checked off in settings and delete them or any file manager that has root access really but you shouldn't delete them..just move them to a folder on your sd card or rename them to .bak or freeze them with titanium backup..this way if anything goes wrong you will be able to fix it
Hope I helped

I remove the video editing app without any problems.
EDIT: I froze all the "authenticator" apps without a problem.
Code:

Remove most Vcast
IMPresence that is all over the logcat (hoping to see some battery saving w/ this)

Im not so sure about removing anything blur or moto related. It was said that com.motorola.android.buacontactadapter was removed, but does anyone know what it does? The main thing I dislike the most is the way the camera handles flash and the way it is linked to gallery. (I hate the moto gallery, QuickPic FTW). If camera360 supported FFCs I would be much more likely to use it.

Also - word of warning - do not remove VSuiteApp.apk - I thought it was the VCast Media Manager, but removing it puts the phone into a "Force close" loop, which even ADB can't get you out of (can't SU while in the "force close" loop). I had to reboot the phone to get it working again and restore the APK file to its correct location, which was a pretty tense experience.

I removed the VSuiteApp.apk just fine. No issues here. the force close loop is caused because the application was running at the time of deletion. VCast Media Manager is known as NewBayVault_4.2.99.36.Market.apk . this can happen to any of the apps if they are system apps that are running during time of deletion
@Darksurf -thanks for that, VCast media manager now removed.
Edited my earlier post to add that APK to the list.
On removing VSuiteApp.apk - what does that app do? It seems to be related to the voice recognition system as far as I can see. Be safe to remove if you don't want voice IO, perhaps?
I removed the DLNA app, it started giving immediate problems with repetitive force close notices. Pulled the battery, restarted, never happened again.
So I used Root Explorer to rename most of the same apps everyone is listing as .bak. I then gave my phone a few hours run to see how everything behaved and that I didn't freeze anything important. Once I was satisfied with that I started actually deleting certain apps (ie. blockbuster, zumo, any vzw app) because all we kept saying was "remove the bloatware." Now I'm seeing everyone say we shouldn't have actually removed anything. All that being said, how can I replace the apps I actually deleted and simply go back and .bak them?
Can I delete GlobalNWSwitch.apk? Is this what makes the phone keep on asking whether you want to switch back to Global mode once the signal is lost for a while?
After rooting, froze some of the bloat, but now when I click on a contact's name in the Contacts app, it Force Closes.
I'd read in the forums that the Yahoo Mail Authenticator was the cause of this, so I did not freeze it, but I'm still getting FC's.
Anybody got any ideas, other than one by one going through them all?
Well, step one would be a list of everything you've frozen, so people don't have to guess which one of the 220 system apps you shouldn't have killed...
I was messing around with freezing too and had the same problem; I could view the list of contacts but tapping a contact for their specific information would cause a force close. I fixed it by un-freezing some of the social apps...I think they hook into the contacts app somehow.
Did you by any chance freeze "Yahoo Contacts"?
That causes contact FCs for me.
Just tried to repro the issue with the social apps and couldn't get it to break. I also froze yahoo contacts and no breaky either. Hmm... When it happened to me I just un-froze anything remotely related to contacts, restarted, and checked. Can't say for sure exactly what it was, but try that.
I ran into this problem as well. Went back into Titanium, defrosted both of the "Yahoo" .apks and it fixed the problem. Of course there are other things that could break it if you froze them so it's not necessarily an all-in-one fix.
i know for sure that the yahoo ones were part of the problem, but i also think it could be the email and other things that contacts use even if you aren't using those specific things
hey guys I'm having the same problem but I removed the apk files instead. yea I know. I figured I could restore with Titanium backup but it just locks up. is there a way to manually reinstall? I already tried copying the apks to the /system/app/ folder but TB still reports the apps uninstalled and if I manually install the apk it says install failed. TIA!

So, I've been getting google framework services force closing, and I've narrowed it down to Gtalk, whenever I try to sign into Talk, i get the FC. I've tried to find gtalkservice.apk, but it's not in system/app, where should it be? I've been reading that it's the root cause of this problem. Where are the three files in the OP supposed to be located?
system/app/talk.apk

Is that the only apk relating to Talk? There's gtalkservice.apk that I've heard can be replaced, but I see no trace of it.
