Quick Question - General Questions and Answers

Does downloading an app from google play ON THE COMPUTER use data when it transfers to your phone?

yeah it should because if you end the google play app and then send an app through the copmuter to your phone, it won't install until google play is running.

Whenever I install an app on google play it just automatically transfers to my phone and if I don't have wifi then it uses data correct?

really??I thought we can download an app without data...

Not able to download/update apps from Google Play.

Hey guys, I am from India and I am not able to update or download apps from google play on my r and neither on my brother's note.
Is anyone else facing this problem?

Clear the cache & data of 'Play store' & 'Google Services Framework.'
Do update here if it solves the problem.
BTW are you still gonna make some banners for galaxy r users?

Does it show any error or is it just force closing? Try removing ur google account from ur phone. Go to Settings->applications->all->Play store-> Clear Cache. Do a reboot then add the account again. Also check the version of Play store. :fingers-crossed:

Just like cooleagle said above. And if you have a problem with downloading from play webstore (After wiping cache and data,) re-login to Gtalk! It should do the trick. Sometimes you may have to wait a while for effects (half an hour, hour) though.

I am facing the same issue. Download/update simply fails to 'start' for majority of apps such as adobe reader and youtube. However, I can download/updste some apps such as facebook. I had tried clearing dalvik cache and relogin to my google account. But nothing seems to solve it.

Try the method as suggested by cooleagle and m.kochan10
How do I wipe data for play store and google service framework?
settings ->program->all -> navigate to those apps, tap and there you'll fing those options.
Sometimes, if you share SD cards between devices can trigger this problem. Try without a SD to see if this is the cause.
I did the data wipe, and downloads/updates are fine now.
I am again unable to download app updates from market. I again did dalvik cache wipe, and data wipe for google play and google framework service. I am getting error 497. Google search didn't yield anything helpful. Can someone suggest another solution?

Use any task killer/switcher & switch to Google play store which is already running in the background or start it once & then switch to it.
Even if the above doesn't help them click on 'Uninstall Updates' in the by going to Settings => Applications => Mange atop => Google Play app => Uninstall Updates.
Do update here if it helps.
Cheers !
Try making another gmail account for play store . IMO if nothing has worked so far , a hard reset might help but keep a back up of your data before you attempt that.

@cooeagle: thanks for the suggestion. However even this didn't work.
@pulley06: thanks for the suggestion. I am keeping full reset as my last option.

1) Did you add your google account?
2) Kick start by clear data and cache for playservice and google service framework, reboot phone, once it's up, open your browser to verify internet is working, then reopen play store.

OK,
1) have to try with 4g instead of wifi?
2) so right now your phone is running pure stock ROM with no third party apps on it right? if it's, please try another google account. Remove the old one first, or if you don't have one try to sign into google to see if your account is still good. Do it a few times (login and out).
3)Check the following apps:
google play store 4.5.10
google play service 4.0.34
google sevice framework 4.3.757479
clear cache and data for all of them, then uninstall google play store, reboot phone, wait for it to update, once updated reboot then try again.

Seems like the play store apps are outdated and your phone should update automatically once it's online. You need to side load the apps from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/20hi0n6b2876080/4510 and 4034.rar unzip then try the 4.0.34 first, reboot, see if update the rest, if still not working install the second one 4.5.10. They are apk, so just install like an app.

Do you have the option to uninstall google play store? if you do, clear data, uninstall, stop the service, then open play see if that work. Usually this issue happened to custom rom only, not stock rom, and also with hyper drive rom, where it left residual to the host file.

OK..let take a step back, it's possible that you need to reflash. Do a factory reset, power off, put into download mode then Odin reflash the full stock factory file. Once it boot up let it sit for 5 min before going through the setup.

Lol, you can't do this in this way (Installing un 3rd party manner) . Because google play did not running with only .apk file .
Now for your solution : go download gapps(google apps)according to the firmware of your device and flash it with custom recovery .

I want Facebook gone but the phone won't allow it to be removed.

Guess now I have found a reason to want a custom rom on this phone because I want the social media apps gone. I don't use Facebook nor do I plan to so I hope HTC pushes out an update to allow this app to be removed.

Facebook has been a system app as long as I can remember. Really...even my EVO 4G had Facebook installed to the system. Doesn't have to be a custom rom...just root, and an app capable of uninstalling system apps, like Titanium Backup.

If not a system app, I don't see any other reason why the OP can't uninstall...
If you are using a custom rom, there is a strong chance that it is not installed onto the system partition.
Fb is def a system app but just disable it
Anyway to Disable/Uninstall the Mail and Message App without rooting?
You don't need root to disable apps anymore (you need it to uninstall system apps though)
Could always use package disabler to disable both the app and it's associated system components. It doesn't require root but it does require you to remove all your accounts and set them up again (settings > Google)

GMS Installer 100% works for Huawei Mate30/Mate30 Pro

Hi all
Download the GMS Installer and install the APK, open the app, and press One Touch Installation, your device will automatically reboot and automatically install Google Play Services in Huawei eRecovery.
After your device booting back into system, check in Apps if the Google Play Services installed correctly.
After that, you can download the rest from APKMirror : Google Account Manager, Google Calendar Sync, Google Contacts Sync, Google Play Store, and Google Services Framework. Keep in mind you should download version that fit to your android version.
You can even update the Google Play Services to the latest version using the apk's from APKMirror, don't worry it will works.
That's it!

Will this method help with any known issues? Like installing Netflix, copying Google account from phone to watch, etc
Or does it do the same thing thing as restoring Google apps from backup(with HiSuite and lzplay)?

No one has replied yet, who knows if it does! I don’t think it changes for Netflix!
I have included GMS through old method USB, i have no issue at all except the security (Netflix, Google pay...)
Any difference?
From other threads, this app just installs a messaging app, take a look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81568945&postcount=5
The 2 links are different, be careful, see pic below.
Even the GM's installer looks like it is just a cover for an app called com.tyq.pro. Please be careful, could do with someone who can analyse the files better than me to check. It just seems to be everywhere.

Can you send me the tutorial or link you have?
Guys, installing GMS one way or the other if using the proper files and not some dodgy messaging app will have the same end result. Our Mate 30 pro's are still flagged @ google as not being certified. At the end its the same old same GMS you install. I would be extremely carefully with what you download/install on your phones...We still don't know which "backdoors" if any are being installed with the so called restore hack.
Didn't fix any of the problems.
