You just saved my life. Thank you very much. I was gonna consider a data wipe but it was as simple as that, as I previously remembered manually cancelling a download when I was in a poor signal area. Immediately this "unfortunately process com google" error message appeared and I was trying to find a way to undo it.

Thank you.it helped me

Thanks for this solution. Just enabled my download manager and my phone's perked up tremendously.
It was sluggish and slow after I had stopped a download, and this message kept popping up, freezing the phone every now and then.
Am not techy so this solution really really helped.

Thanks again!

I have just rooted my S3 and 'froze' a lot of the bloat, and this dreaded message came up. I did as suggested, defrosted the download manager, and bingo, message gone. Thank you very much. You rock.

Had same problem on S3 LTE. Solution worked. Thanks very much

I had set a data limit, I think as the phone reached this it automatically disabled the Download Manager if that helps anyone.
Cheers again great site

Signed up just to say thanks, was about to reset to factory after checking for over a week and thought i'd

give it one last try for a cure...Thanks a million.

**jmdarrah** · 12-23-2012, 05:40 PM

I tried everything in this forum, and all suggestions from a half dozen other forums, and nothing worked for me. BUT, I figured out a solution that did finally, if the problem persists for anyone else like it did for me (No factory reset required!): First, remove your Google account (no big deal, you can sign back in in a few minutes). Then, go to Settings>Apps>All> Scroll down to the G's until you get the first thing that has Google in it's name. The first one on my phone (galaxy nexus, CM) is called "Google Account Manager". Click on it and hit "Clear Data". Repeat this process for everything Google in the list. Now sign back into your Google account. You should never see that message again! This worked for me, hopefully it will for you too, if any of the previous suggestions haven't already.

It is most likely a Samsung proprietary spin on the Google app, that is what happens when the big phone companies lock the systems and proprietize otherwise open source software (Android and Google are built on Linux open source but the Samsung Galaxy S3 isn't AOS (Android Open Source)), then Samsung pass it on to customers without working the bugs out first. It is a sync problem, Samsung needs to fix it as well as the other mfg's out there with same problem, asking Google to fix all the different phone company's screwing with the Google software probably won't get it fixed anytime soon.
