So I'm doing anything from using the GPS to playing with appbrain and it brings up this message:

"The app com.sec.android.providers.downloads (process com.sec.android.providers.download) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close"


It doesn't seem to affect what i'm doing but it's a real pain in the butt cause it can happen 5 times in a span of 2 minutes or not ever for hours.

Has anyone seen this?
I've just flashed from a fresh 2.1 to 2.2 through the official means. Once I got 2.2 going, it started doing this even before i rooted and did special things.

so i did a hard reset, it didnt take me back to 2.1 and didnt even seem to reinstall the bloatware i deleted, but the problem is gone.

and now i also just found a utility in ROM Manager that says, "Fix Permissions - Fix file system permissions. This often fixes Force Close problems." Maybe someone can be the guinea pig and if this fixes the problem other than a factory reset!!

I registerd to see if anyone else had this issue.

This happend to me today, but I cant do anything, anything I try it says low memory and keeps force closing with your same error. I really dont want to do a factory reset, cant even get into the phone to coppy the titanium backup folder.

I looked at the avalible memory it says i have 13g with 12 gigs free. Internnally its 1.27 gigs.

I dont get it, I havent changed anything for the last few days and its saying my memory is low..
