Automatic Market Updates Fail? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Way too often, the automatic updates fail to update (often with not enough storage, or some similar message).
Then I have to go and search at the bottom of my apps and reinstall the failed installs.
Really annoying.
It happens on both of my Nexus Ss.
Anyone experiencing the same?

I get this too and sometimes I request to manually install an app... it starts downloading then just stops on it's own... but still showing thats it's downloading in the vending app. when I select the app... it gives me the option to install... I keep doing this in a loop until it finally downloads/installs

yes i get this very often, like every day
it's very very annoying
i have 2 apps and a game that i want to update, and it does exactly the same problem sinatosk is having

The one that has issues for me is twitter. I never use twitter so i don't care if it updates but it always tries and fails.

I've only had it happen once- the insufficient space one- when I was installing two things at the same time. Retried and went off with no problem. I've noticed update issues on other phone models, too; either insufficient space or just hanging forever at downloading.

I had this too. I cleared all the data for the download app and autox seems to have gotten better. I think this started happening after I moved some apps to SD card.

correct, it's not a phone specific problem, but a weird bug with Android Market
i have 3 different phones, and all of them have this insufficient space bug, whenever i try to update more than 1 app at a time
or some specific app or game just hangs forever at downloading
my theory for those, is that the Developer is still uploading the app, and stupid market makes it available even when the upload is incomplete
because those apps/games that i have trouble across all 3 phones have problem downloading, if i retry again after several hours, or days, then they download just fine and fast, instead of only 1% every few hours
if my theory is right, then Google should make the new versions NOT Available until the upload is completed by the Developer

I am wondering if it's actually an OS problem, because I noticed that I also get quite a few "download failed" when downloading icons with the stock browser.

[Q] Cant install Any Apps from MarketPlace

Having an issue trying to install new apps from Market place. When I finish downloading an app, and its trying to install I get an error saying that "installation unsuccessful" I try 5 different apps and all getting the same error...... I reboot my TF and also clear data and cache, and I am still getting this error. I have about 500MB left on my drive. No root and on the latest firmware. I was able to install couple of days ago.........Android is pissing me off.
This was something else i experienced with low space. I think its becausw the partition is full. try deleting a big app like google earth

Even tho I have 500MB left? Actually I was trying to download google earth and it was giving me that error. Is there a place where it tells me that Im close to over the limit in installing apps?
me too
I have the same problem in my Transformer and from I have seen only resetting the tablet to default solves it. But the worse thing is that it will reproduce after a few days. Perhaps a specific application that we are installing do this? But I don't know what application or if it is any other problem. Sometimes Android feels like windows 95, when more applications you install more likely it will break (in the last windows versions it will slowdown).
In my phone Galaxy S 2 suddenly I cannot record audio anymore, no matter what program.
There are other threads talking about this problem of not being able to install programs pointing that it reproduces (as me) but without clear solution.

Is there any way to at least install all applications after a reset from default from some type of list? (without root privileges)

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Y Google Play Issue

I've had a good hunt around both the xda forums, and the internet, hoping I could solve this problem without troubling anyone else, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Y running 2.3.6 and rooted. I was recently having some issues where I'd get an alert saying "Insufficient Internal Memory", I cleared just about every app out, and was still getting the error, so, in a last ditch effort, did a factory reset. The reset went fine, but for one problem.
The Google Marketplace app wouldn't update to Google Play, and I was unable to download or update apps. After trying all the usual solutions, such as clearing the cache and simply waiting, I got a friend to upload the .apk for their Play Store, which was the latest version and running without an issue. I then installed this .apk, rebooted, and found that the app had technically installed, but the icon was completely blank, the only evidence of it was in Settings>Apps. After three reboots it eventually showed an icon for the Play Store in my app drawer. However when tap it, it starts to open, freezes, quickly flashes an error message, and then closes. The error message isn't on screen long enough to read, but I think I can get the words "Sorry!" and "Procedure".
I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Anyone out there who knows the ins and outs of Android better than me, have any idea?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
What do u really need update to Google play from market?
I always uninstall the update of market to play,. Market is better...
So let mobile on its own upload the martket,dont do manually if u need play...
Then it may be solved,i think...

Major problems with Google Play

Hey guys. So, I got my BPXL about a week ago, and I instantly loved it. The first thing I did was reinstall all apps from my previous phone. All 180 apps. No issues (except for the -504 problems). Two days ago, I was prompted by the Play Store about some updates. I told my phone to update all apps automatically, but there was a list of about ten items that needed to be updated. "okay, whatever." So I initiated the downloads. About two hours later, I realized that in the notification drawer, the download for the very first app in that list was appearing as paused. Return to the Google Play Store, see what's up, and the download bar is just running running running, but never actually showing any download progress. Paused them all, tried to run them one at a time, same problem. Tried to install a new app, same problem. Tried all of Google's troubleshooting steps, same problem. Here's where it gets real fun: Performed factory reset of phone, same problem. Acquired replacement phone from Amazon, SAME PROBLEM.
Apps can be downloaded and installed from the Amazon Appstore, but Amazon's app market couldn't hold a candle to the Google Play Store. I'm totally at the end of my rope. Google doesn't know what to do, Blu doesn't know what to do, and I have no idea what to do. I have no idea what is causing these issues. Anybody had anything similar happen and know what to do?
New here but I've had my Pure XL since December. I've been having the same issue for about a week or so. The only thing I've found that works is to cancel the updates, turn off Wi-Fi and start downloading them again. Of course that uses a lot of data, so it's not really an ideal solution..
and the download bar is just running running running said:
Dear friend i got the same problem. But i was very confused when I when to other WIFI location and suddenly the downloads start working....I change my originally router and seens to fix that..don't know why... but it never happen again...

I actually just got off the phone with Blu CS, and it seems that this issue is common enough that they're rushing out a patch to try and fix it. There's a lot of other broken stuff I hope they patch over too, but in the meantime, being able to download off of Google Play would be a big step forward.
So there it is. Anybody experiencing the issue, wait. That's what they told me, that's all we can do.
Received an OTA update today that appears to have resolved the play store issue.
Blu Pure XL pause download problem *Easy Bypass*
I recently bought a Blu Pure XL, shortly after I rooted it no problem, then I had the store error that everyone else is talking about and people say there was an update released to fix it. Unfortunately when I try to start the OTA says my system is damaged so I downloaded the app: DataEye to see what processes use the internet while downloading and long story short when the download says paused open Dataeye and Toggle data saving mode on then off! Fixes every download that pauses hope this helps!
I try to to update today through wireless update but i only get the message "network connection failed". So i unroot the phone using the the tutorial forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/twrp-recovery-root-blu-pure-xl-allview-t3269447 by bemolx
it keep saying "network connection failed" on WIFI or 4G, internet is ok and working.
But i notice something weird: I can't set the camera Storage Location to Internal Memory, only to SD card. (Also whatsapp can't receive any media) . I don't know if i did something wrong at the first time when i root the phone or if this is related to the update that i am not able to install. By the way if somebody manage to download this update as a zip and share with the community. ? maybe others are having the same problem?

Some apps taking forever to open and get stuck

Hi everyone.
I remember some time ago I updated my phone with one of those monthly updates (cannot remember which one was was it or when, but I do perfectly remember this started happening after an update). Since then I've been experiencing issues with some apps. Just some apps fortunately and not the ones I use often.
Basically, whenever I open one of these apps it takes at least 3 minutes to load (sometimes even more), then the apps gets stuck so I get a message saying if I wanna close the app or wait so I just tap wait. Even though I've been facing these issues with apps that I don't use often it is still veeeeery annoying and now I'm bringing this issue here because I recently started using an app for college and when I need it in class I should not have to be waiting 3 or 4 minutes just to have a single app open. I tried formatting the phone and did not have any luck. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any tips on how to fix this?
Some other apps I have issues with:
-Temple Run 2
-Runtastic
-I'm Ping Pong King
-Uber
There are of course other apps I have the same issues with, I'm just mentioning a few. The games do not only take forever to load, but are laggy as hell and literally unplayable.
You could go into Apps and wipe their cache, and see if that helps. If that does not, perhaps going into TWRP and wiping cache there. If neither of those methods work . . . maybe an OS file or two have become corrupt?
You do have a TWRP backup, yes?
Are any of the apps related by a process they use, e.g. wifi, bluetooth . . . ?

Google Play Store Issues - "Download Pending"

Researching online, I have read that this has been a common problem reported for years. After my May Security update, Google Play Store has been acting up. I haven't seen if it does it when downloading new apps, but it constantly gets stuck at "download pending" when updating existing apps. The only workaround I have found is to "clear storage" and wait like 20 minutes for it reset and find updates again. Then it works for a little while (~1 day) and then stuck again. I've also tried removing my Google account from the phone, and then reinstalling it...didn't work. Does anyone know how I can permanently fix Play Store so I don't have to clear storage every day?

I have had that issue as well as missing .01 MB and just sitting there for hours. I try to update 1 app then reboot the update another. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. This was on my oneplus5t stock rom 9.0 as soon as I installed LineageOS 16 all issues with updating cleared up. just restored back to 100% stock and issues again.
