not able to update apps from play store - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I've recently started to face problems while trying to update apps from play store. when I hit the update button the downloading bar comes up on the notifications bar and then nothing happens.. it stays like that forever.. I then have to "clear data" from download manager to remove it.
I've tried clearing the cache & data from download manager and play store but it didn't work.. removed my Google account from my phone then cleared cache and data then did a reboot and registered the account again and even that didn't work.. I also tried a lot of silly stuff... so after many failed attempts I've come looking for help from u guys..
if anybody has a solution to this then please share the same.. this one's getting into my nerve.. :banghead:
btw, I'm able to install new apps, just not able to update the existing ones..
please help..

------------Read----Write----Execute
owner------X---------X-----------0

Others------X---------0----------0

My permissions were already set to this, and I am still having FC Issues with the latest Play Store. It closes as as soon as I attempt to download an app (Update or New Install). Once it force closes, I cant even open it again without clearing the data.
I rooted my Samsung Gio for the purposes of removing my carrier's bloat ware and moving apps across to the SD Card. Google Play was one of the apps I moved across. Ever since I did this, I have not been able to run the store and have been getting the same error message as everyone else. I also tried downloading different versions of the Play app but to no avail.
I'm trying to work this out but have not had much luck so far.

Free up some space and try again

I am now getting this error whatever apk I try and install regardless how many apps I uninstall.
Can anyone help?
My tab has a stock rom but is rooted and is wifi only.

Factory reset
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Surely not?!
However, If that is the only answer, an explanation would be nice as a factory reset seems a little extreme don't u think?

You probably have to go into either;
- /system/app/; or
- /data/app/directory and delete the odex file that has the same name.
Example: If you cannot install Titanium Back Up. Navigate to /data/app/ and find titanium.odex. Remove it and now you can install titanium.
Hope it help :fingers-crossed:

I already saw that solution elsewhere but doesn't work. I cant install any app apart from some.
This might sound stupidly simple but, are you sure you just aren't low on space from music or movies, etc...?

Do factory Reset and through CWM Recovery Restore your setting and Apps from NAND Backup (if only you created one).. :laugh:
ok guys - just sorted it.
i installed app2sd at some point and i think i was trying to get it to install by default to my sd card. problem is that the old tab 7.7 doesnt support installing to sd. So what was happening it was just giving me a no error message. i used Super manager 3 to default back to the device memory, rebooted and all ok now.
sorry for my stupidity. but shame on the amount of users telling me to do a factory reset - thank god i didnt listen to y'all!!
i have same issue
with this help , i resolve it

**** happens
I faced the same problem with my Xperia ZR after playing with Link2SD.
Fixed it with starting the terminal and typing:
Code:
su
pm set-install-location 1
pm get-install-location
Resut is 1[internal], and the apps are now installing.

Dude, format the memory card, and also wipe data from setting menu,
then,
reinstall ICS
If that's the only option I'd rather flash the Frankenstein rom and just read you shouldn't factory reset on ICS :/

Please read my post carefully, i told you to delete data in settings, not in CWM.
Okay problem solved. Flashed a fresh copy of ICS. The error was while restoring my apps via titanium I was also restoring the old gb play store. Working well.

Buddy. The Problem Pulley06 faced and urs might be because of the play store version u r using. U might have restored the play store u used in GB to ICS. Delete the play store apk. Grab a fresh copy of play store and push it to system/app. Delete data of existing play store from Settings->Applications before removing it.:good:

Try removing its apk and installing a new Play Store of some other ROM.
Or try reflashing Gapps

No new app updates after root

Recently I've rooted my two phones but ever since then, I haven't received any updates for my apps, I've closed and opened to google playstore from day to day just to see but there haven't been any new app updates. Before I rooted, I would get then several times just a day. I'm not sure what's going on
Check ur rooting is ok by downloading root validator app. And if its ok. Sign in ur google accout again n enter playstore.
Sent from my GT-S5302 using xda app-developers app
I ran the app and my root is ok, but as for signing out and back in, do I go about this by going into the settings > accounts > google > remove google account? or is there another way?
U can remove it n add again. Then go to playsstore app. And they will ask a permission accept it. This will be the simple first try.

Tried it, but it didn't work.
if u cant see the update used this steps
1) u can clear DATA/CACHE of
'playstore' and 'Google service
framework' in setting then reboot ur phone
and then try.
May be ur apps all uptodates now. If u have problem updating the app after rooting this may be a superuser problem that cant fix the signature.
if u see the update n get error on upadating app used this steps
1. 1)using root explorer or any root acces file manager, go to data/app folder and see if
u have any .ODEX file pertained to
those app/apps which r giving u
trouble in update vide store's and
delete the same, and then try
updating.
2. Used superuser update fxer to fix signature.
PLIS PRESS THANK IF I HELP U SOMEHOW.
