The market shows that there's an update available for the Music app, but when I choose the "Update" button, I get a brief dialog pop-up with the title "Allow Access" (just like the normal permission's dialog, but with no content other than the blue progress circle), which goes away after half a second, and the app is never updated.
How can I get this app updated? It's rather annoying seeing it in the "Updates" section of My Apps....
My first thought was to un-install and re-install it, but because it's a built-in app I don't have that option.
I had the same issue. A reboot fixed it.
..same issue here too
Gave the TF a reboot and was then able to update 'Music' to v3.0.1
Ah yes, a reboot fixed it, thanks.
As a fan of the IT Crowd, I don't know why I didn't do that first...

Has anyone experience notices in marketplace tile saying number of apps having an update AND when the update actually is done the notice is still there?
It's annoying.
Only Apps that are free or you have bought will update.
Trial apps will tell you if theres any updates, but won't download them.
Next time you hit the update button, watch what happens.
Trail apps will say 'pending' then dissapper.
Bought apps will say 'Pending' then 'Downloading' then 'Installing'

This usually happens to me if I press the center Windows button after the apps have downloaded and installed instead of pressing the back button to get out of Marketplace. Try going to Marketplace and then back out of it with the back button. That should clear the indicator, or at least that works for me.

+1. Yep, same here! I'm guessing that by just hitting the Windows button Marketplace doesn't refresh its live tile.

Tried all of those but whenever newer updates arise, the stuck retains after the update. Uninstalling and reinstalling solves it, but I don't always want to do that. Just like now, doodle god keeps telling an update, if i hit update or update all, it just installs it and its gone, when you hit back button sometimes it disappears but after awhile its there again.
That's because the trial version APP cannot update. You have to uninstall it and install the new version manually.
It won't happen for the free APP and the APP you've paid.
I don't normally apply updates all at once, only as needed. Yesterday I managed to "update all" by accident. Oh well, will let it do it's thing. It's still running today and nothing appears to actually be updating. The market shows "updating" with no progress. How do I cancel all of this from trying to do its thing?
I use app brain you can control what gets updated, it's great!
I couldn't get the apps to stop downloading (or trying). The battery was draining as a result. I finally rolled back to a backup that I made in Feb.
Guess it's a mute point now, but you should have been able to go into market, My Apps, then click on the app that was updating and there's an option to cancel.

that didn't work. I could press "cancel" but it would close out the market.
I've been having this problem with the Play Store where it's not displaying the Notifications correctly.
Or rather, that the persistent Notification while an app is being downloaded/updated is not showing any Details. It keeps showing that continuous horizontal scrolling bar thingy as if the download has yet to start, all the way through the actual downloading plus the installing part. No progress, no download size, doesnt even turn to "Installing" after the download is complete. It does show a proper "xy apps Updated" or "xy app Installed" at the end with the proper thumbnail, just nothing While it's downloading.
I can see the progress in the Play store page for the respective app, but the notification keeps on scrolling with no details.
It's most annoying while updating an app, as you know the notification actually shows the size of Just the update while play store just shows the download percentage out of the Whole app.
I can see in the settings page for Play Store that it's the latest version (4.9.13). The phone is Not rooted, I haven't messed with anything that should affect the Play store as far as I know. No third party app store, no proxy etc. It has been doing this since out of the box. (First time I saw this I thought the Play store might be updating first, as often happens after first setup, and that it'll get alright after a restart or something)
Is anyone else experiencing this? Has anyone experienced this some other time? Possible solutions?
Edit 2: Also, what I didn't notice till recently, is that while updating any app via the playstore, the phone downloads the Whole apk every single time. Normal behavior is to download only the updated part of apk, as happens with every other device I use, but since the notifications are not showing any progress, I didn't notice this before.
Strangest part is no one else seems to be reporting this problem, no other threads etc. My only hope is that the new update (Android 5.1) is just round the corner, and hopefully it'll be sorted then.
my one isnt even downloading giving error 489
yes
Yes this happening with me.. We have to give feedback then they will give update
Play store working like charm.. It happened for first time only.. maybe the playstore or its services might be getting updated.
Update: Problem Persists
It's still the same, with latest Play store 5.0.31, and Latest Play services. I believe it's not these apps at fault here. When an update is being downloaded, the download is actually handled by the stock Download Manager app and not the play store itself. This can be checked by long pressing the download notification and going to App Info. So That must be malfunctioning here.
My phone has "Download Manager version 4.4.4-1379542". Can someone who is not facing this problem please confirm what version his phone is using?
Also, clearing this download manager's Defaults doesn't resolve the issue.

Hey,
try installing the new playstore 5.0
first stop existing playstore app, clear data and cache, then remove your registered gmail accounts from settings, reboot and install new apk.
This should definitely solve all playstore related problems.,

Exclude app from "clear all" on Recent Apps screen after 2016-03-15 OTA update?
On the 2016-03-15 OTA update they added the "clear all" button to the Recent Apps screen. Unfortunately it also kills the Alarm Clock Xtreme process and the alarm no longer works.
Is there a way to exclude certain apps from being killed?

Same thing here! especially with whats app, i do a close all or swipe and it closes the foreground and background task, i just want foreground to be off. This cause me to not receive me notification UNTIL i open the app, i have no issues with this on my lg or galaxy. On the Blu there's a press and hold option on the recent apps, but when you hold it it just goes back to the previous screen. Am I missing something here? Ive had nothing but hell with the phone and especially with the 504 error, which they fixed, but that took WAY too long. And dont let me get started with customer support!
Update - Started seeing issue with 3rd party keyboards, i prefer swiftkey as my go to. And when i swipe the app close, after i have set my keyboard it constantly defaults. this was not present on the previous update. I thought the 504 error was bad but this cuts the cake. Very very frustrating!!! My workaround was to disable every keyboard even system to allow it to run. I guess the recent apps is broke, need to be corrected!
you can install system manager .apk and system manager sdk.apk from gionee E8 ,
I have posted it before on another thread after install it . you can hold on clear buttom it i'll open process white list add any thing want to not close.
Me too i Started seeing issue with 3rd party keyboards, i always use swiftkey. But the dam keyboard set constantly to defaults after the update. Even worst some time the key board set to touchpal that i unable to get rid off, this was not present on the previous update.
So there's a well-known app in the Google Play Store that has been updated - I don't like this new version.
Before I updated, I saved a copy of the version I had on my phone, locally. After updating, I didn't like it. So I removed it, enabled Install from Unknown Sources, and reinstalled the version I *did* like.
Now, when I update apps from Google Play, I do "update all", then go to the app I don't want to update, and click the "x" so that it doesn't update.
The problem is, sometimes it updates anyway, even though I've verified that the app has gone to the "Updates" list and not the apps currently being updated.
It *appears* that this app is somehow forcing its own update, even though I have deselected it.
I'm using a stock android kernel, so I can't keep it from updating across the board. But I'm surprised that when I deselect it before the update process has reached it, it sometimes still updates. Again, it SOMETIMES does this, not every time.
Does anyone know how this process works? How can an app force itself to update even though I've unselected it for update?
What you want to do is open play store, open the app in the market that you don't want to auto update, then, in the top right corner there should be 3 dots, click them and disable auto update, it will disable auto update only for that app and when you hit update all, it will update it.

It's already disabled for auto-update (as are all apps on my phone).
So, unfortunately, that's not it.
If you tap on the clear data button in settings>storage>apps>google play store , the settings" do not Auto update " will be cancelled, and app will return to default settings.
Whatever the settings maybe, google play store and google play services update automatically.

Not sure what you mean; I can surely clear Google Play settings, tho' I've done that many times in the past. What do you think it would clear that would fix this issue, if auto-update is already off?
