In my case cm11, It happens only when the phone shuts down unexpectedly. In that case i just have to restart my phone and its gone.

My mobile phone samsung N 3 reflects message on its HOME PAGE ' Unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped'. What does it mean? How can I fix it as the message as I already said is on Home page and as such I am unable to use any keys on key board as well as all applications even. Please help me through easy steps immediately. Thanks:

If anyone's still reading these threads...I have a tablet running 4.0. This comes up even after clearing Media storage, Google Play Store, and Framework, and finally Factory data reset. There's no external sd card, and this keeps popping up even when I boot into Safe Mode!

You make my phone original setting ,error 491 ,media has stop,google play for update

This video worked for me on the first way (clear data for media storage - which doesn't erase any files )

So, you go to Settings - Application Manager - All - scroll down to Media Storage, click on it, and then click on 'Clear data', and done!

Thanks alot, worked for me too.

I am getting this error message frequently: "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped."

It seems to have started after the ICS upgrade. What does it mean? is there an issue? Is there something I can do to fix it?

Thanks

Go to apps-->disable apps-->enable download manager.. Dats it

hi , what i did was go into settings//storage//apps//all// .. then go into download manager and clear data/catche aswell and disable it. for me it came up with one final message saying "the download manager has stopped" then clicked ok and no more messages came up. hope this was useful .. used on a nexus 10.

So do I do this every time my phone says that?

 

[Mike Lindy]

it worked,M8,thank you

This solution also worked for me. The problem appeared after an Android firmware update and I got really upset with these messages showing all time, making it almost impossible to use the phone. This simple solution cured the problem 100%. So thanks a lot for sharing the information!

I have a lg dynamic 2 that's giving the same issue. Hard reset didn't solve and can't get into recovery or use anything in the phone at all. it all force closes and gives the erro message. Please help.
