Every time I wipe my Xoom, the music app is missing the settings menu. As such, I can't get to Google Music. In the past, I've always just uninstalled updates and re-updated from the Market. However, the last time I installed the Tiamat ROM, the market will not let me do ANYTHING with the music app other than open it or view more info. The "uninstall updates" button is gone, and there's no uninstall or reinstall option.
How can I fix it? I don't care about fixing the market problem unless it's necessary to make Google Music work, as that's all I really care about.
Thanks in advance!
Huh, so, after restarting the app for the 5000000000th time, it randomly showed up. Well, I guess maybe this info will help someone else with this problem hopefully
I think I may have set it up wrong like restore or something. But everytime I exited the play store it starts downloading EVERYTHING from the playstore that I've ever downloaded.
How can I stop this from happening?
Open the playstore, slide from the left edge of the screen, my apps, click stop.

This is just a guess, check Settings -> Backup & Restore and disable "automatic restore".
Also, when you first set up the phone, there is an option that asks if you would like to keep the phone backed up with google, which, if selected, also restores the phone from any back up google may previously hold.
Un check it, and it wont start downloading any apps when you first turn it on
definitely one of the irritating things about android. that backup/restore functionality sucks. I think i read they were going to revamp it?
Seems dumb that an app that is installed on another device or long removed from current device would install on a new device.
There's an easy fix for this. Go to the play store, swipe the left of the screen, click "My Apps", click the "All" tab. Any app in that list that isn't installed on your phone already will have an "X" in it's box. Click it and it'll ask if you want to remove the app for your apps list. That will stop it from auto downloading when you restore anything, as long as you don't download it again. Otherwise, you'd have to remove it again.
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.,

Happy New Year everyone!
So I have a P40 pro with GMS installed since ver.121 but currently on EMUI 11 (.151).
After the EMUI11 the phone started acting a bit weird, so I suppose that something is not right with GMS.
Currently having gsf frozen and I am getting notifications normally ( I only unfreeze every now and then to update apps in playstore), but my BIG problem now is that google maps has stopped working as it should; whenever I input an address and press Start to commence navigation, it goes to the navigation screen and immediately goes back to route overview. This only happens in Gmaps, Waze works normally, however I am using google maps every day so i need that fixed. Tried to wipe cache but no dice.
If GSF is not frozen, whenever I try to open Gmaps it goes to its homescreen for a split second and then crashes.
My main question is, is there any way to try and "fix" GMS by doing only some of the steps in current methods, without having to start from scratch and factory reset my phone? I really cannot go this path again and considering that the above problem aside, it looks like the phone is still usable (google account in place), so are there any safe steps to follow without messing up GMS more than what it is? Could I follow let's say the last 2-3 steps of the guides out there, i.e. clearing cache and uninstalling/installing play services and gsf (without downgrading)??
Is downgrade a must only to enter your google account, or also for doing all the steps?
TIA,
Thanos

im on emui 11, i already had googlifyer installed pre the upgrade and that worked for me to fix the play protect messages - but he also mentions the google maps crash issue.
It does not let me install the play services apks of the link. Although I have play services uninstalled from the phone, i am getting "installation failed" and reason for failure "you already have a newer version of this app", but I dont have the app installed at the moment.
OK, so that's weird. I noticed that when I was getting the notifications suddenly I could see two play services apks the second one having the second SIM icon on the corner. So I uninstalled this one as well and it let me install the apk. Everything went OK, maps and playstore work BUT I keep getting the play not certified error in notifications bar for the second SIM play services, so for now I just silenced the notification.
Any way how to solve this? Never noticed before that I could get playstore error with a sim no.2 icon and the most weird thing is that now there is only one play services app in apps list, but sporadically I was seeing a second one, hence why it was not letting me install an older version, because even tho I uninstalled the normal one, a second one (same ver) was also somewhere hidden.

That could mean you have microg on or fake store services?

If you get the playstore error you have to repeat the fix process on the maps link, I had to do it a few times to fix it.
The other thing which fixes it is icebox freezing gsf but then maps doesn't work so good as it does access location well.
It seems a choice between notifications and no maps or maps and no notifications...
Uninstall and install Maps few times ... if Maps (last version) continues with errors, try version 10.49.3.

Is that for the crashing issue or the location issue?
When I had any problems with Maps (on P40 pro or Mate40 pro), crash or location, I used 10.49.3.
Later I tried the latest version a few times, until it worked (on both phones).

Initially I installed Gms with the method available back in September, no micro G involved. After that, I was just freezing gsf with multitool 8 via PC whenever I wanted to unfreeze them to update apps in playstore (I cannot stand aurora store, way too slow and too many clicks, I preferred to unfreeze gsf, reboot, update all apps and freeze with multitool).
Maps with frozen gsf were working just fine on me, even without Google location accuracy the GPS fix was immediate.

As described earlier, I was getting the play certified error by a play services app having a SIM 2 icon, similar to the bottom whatsapp app attached, however after I silenced the notification I only see one play services app in my app list and if I go to notifications settings the play services availability notifications are on, so it is like there is a duplicable play services app hidden somehow.
OK, there we go again.. A few minutes ago play services was updating in notification bar and after that I got attached notification for playstore with sim 2 blue icon (again.. ). When I clicked on the notification it got me to a playstore with sim 2 icon, but when I go to home screen and then go to app list there is no such thing as a sim 2 playstore.
Any ideas? What is going on, I have no idea..

Are you freezing gsf?

Nope, right now gsf is not frozen, I was just keeping it this way to test the errors and functionality before freezing it
What's with the sim icons in Google apps though? Never seen them before until now
I haven't found a way to remove the play protect errors without freezing gsf unfortunately, I'm sure it can be done but it caused me loads of hassle and I ran through the process a ton of times but only a few times did I manged to have it working with no play errors. I think you have to strip it back clean everything out and start fresh but uninstall icebox too... My config is now with gsf frozen and bar the app store everything is working...

I don't have icebox installed. The method I am using to freeze gsf is multitool 8 in Windows.
FOR the time being there are no play protect errors, but will see till tmrw..
