[Q] Google Music won't Update?

Has anyone had a problem where Google Music is listed in the Updates section of the Market, but won't update? A dialogue window flashes up and then disappears again.
I tried clearing the data, but it's made no difference.
I'm not located in the US if that changes things, but Google Music is still listed in the Market (and was installed by default anyhow).

You can always google "Music Beta 3.0.1 apk" and install it manually, you'll still be able to do market updates for it in the future. As to your fix, have you tried rebooting the device? It fixes install problems for me that way.

Thanks, I had to reinstall the app as adb install initially reported INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS .
The following however worked, once I'd grabbed the apk file...in case anyone else has the issue in the future.
adb install -r com.google.android.music-2.apk

Couldnt find it in the market so I found a .apk file on here and installed it, but when I open the market it does not show that I even have it on my phone...so how will I be able to update it?

Is there a way to use Google Music in Germany?

Play Store broken

Hello Everyone,
First time post. I scoured through numerous posts about the Play Store unable to find one related to mine. I will give as much detail as I can. Pretty simple if you are savy with rooting.
Phone: HTC Evo 4G
ROM Installed: MazWoz-Evo-B6 (Jellybean
GoogleApps Version: gapps-JB-20121124
Have attempted other ROMS and gapps versions. Just a few. But enough to know I must be missing a step or it is just broken and no one has it running :S. I have cleared all the cache, both the Play Store app cache and in Recovery mode Cache's. I just started into this Rooting last night. Very comfortable installing different ROMS. But why is the Play Store broken on each one? I have tried installing the ROM, Booting up, shutting down and than installing Gapps. Along with installing Gapps right after the Rom install. I clear everything for fresh install of both. It is getting me no where and the internet is full of all kinds of topics related to the Play Store. But nothing that fixes this issue.
I can not get connected to the Google Play Store. Using an existing google account to log in with, it never makes it into the store. But using this step does setup the email for the phone. Maybe that will help pinpoint an idea to you guru's. I hope someone can help.
Thanks!

first thing. ensure that your rom download and gapps download are both good downloads and not corrupt. even partially corrupt files can flash unless you used md5 checksums. But since each rom is having a problem... really looks like your gapps might be the problem...
thats something to check at least...

Play Store DB reset

Android's play store is oddly configured. Depending on your rom's tweaks, a variety of things can cause playstore issues including: LCD Density (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.model= (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.manufacturer= (via /system/build.prop), and lastly the Google Play Database file.
Sorry I can't remember the location of this file, but basically on our phones there is a database file, I believe an SQL DB. If you have lots of problems, you can try to close google play, erase cache/data to the app, then rename the db file to **OriginalNameOfFile**.BAK
open google play, and it should be fixed

[Q] Play Store keeps force closing

Last night I was trying to root and flash a custom rom to my tablet, I wasn't able to finish flashing the rom because I noticed Google Play Store wasn't opening. I couldn't download Rom Manager or any other apps for that matter. I was doing everything I could from clearing the cache, data, even wiping the data and cash in the fastboot mode and flashing another GApps to the tablet. Everything I've tried won't get me anywhere. It tells me to log in with an account, then immediately says: The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I did try flashing a rom through fastboot mode, even though it didn't do anything, so I thought this might be the problem? I haven't tried anything else yet. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: I have the SCH-i815 verizon 4G LTE tablet on stock android 3.2. It is rooted.
EDIT 2: I also noticed that Google Maps and other such apps are no longer on my device. I noticed that Google Services Framework (not sure of words) are on my other devices but not on this one. I tried going into the check for system update settings and it crashed giving me almost the same message as the Google Play Store crash force close message

I recall having FC issues with previous tabs. Repaired by Fixing Permissions in CWM.
HTH

Hi there,
If anyone still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this another option freely other than fixing permission of vending.apk on /system/app/..
This might help you guys .
1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.
2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.
3. You can achive it through shell terminal.
Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).
Hit thanks if it helps.
Thanks

Updating Play Services to 8.1.x, reverts to 7.8.99 on reboot 0_o

This is driving me crazy. I tried updating to Google Play Services 8.1.14 so I can try Android Pay. I can install the apk, and it seems to work fine. However, when I reboot I'm always back to GPS 7.8.99.
I uninstalled Android Wear, Android Pay, etc. I turned on airplane mode, reverted all GPS updates (puts it on 6.x), installed the 8.1.14 apk, and when I reboot.... still on 7.8.99!
Yes, I am using the correct built (-238). I am on stock/rooted/s-off 5.0.1 w/ root turned off in SuperSU. If anyone has any clue whats happening here, let me know!

Okay, so it looks like I solved my own problem. I reenabled root and UNINSTALLED Google Play Services via Titanium, then installed 8.1.14, and it seems to have stuck. I still have no clue why the update was reverting, but... whatever. Hopefully this helps someone in the future if they have the same issue.

Disregard my last, that was not successful. Smart Lock disappeared, and my Trust Agents page was blank with no obvious fix. I did a clean install w/ the latest stock/rooted RUU, and updated straight to services 8.1.14 apk, which worked fine (ncluding smart lock). Until...
Until an 8.1.15 auto-update. Which put me right back into the same revert on reboot loop, except now it would update to 8.1.15 a couple minutes after ever boot, and then revert to 8.1.14 every reboot.
I sorta narrowed down the problem... The 8.1.14 update I installed manually via apk resided at /data/app/com.google.android.gms-1
Every time I rebooted, it created a NEW folder and redownloaded 8.1.15 to to those folders, named com.google.android.gms-2, com.google.android.gms-3, com.google.android.gms-4, etc.
I'm assuming this is exactly what it was doing before i wiped, except 7.8.99 was installed to the com.google.android.gms-1 folder which it always reverts to.
The fix was simple: delete com.google.android.gms-1... rename com.google.android.gms-2 to com.google.android.gms-1. Delete all the extra copies.
If anyone could explain this behaviour, I would love to hear. This seems like a pretty big bug, I'm not sure if it's related to the (stock) rom or a bug with the 8.1.x google play services.

here is your fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...lipop-apps-reverts-to-version-reboot-t3076563
this was a few pages back on this section. You basically need to change the owner of '/data/app' to the system. Post 7 has the adb commands or use root explorer or some other app to change all folder and subs.

:victory: Some times my searching skills aren't up to snuff. I thought my issue was specific to play services, so this didn't come up. This is good to know, and should be added to the RUU thread!

I would agree about adding to ruu thread, however, i cannot enforce that. I know some of the newer ROMS might support that like fluent 6.1 i believe does, and santod latest debloat i have not had any of those issues with those.

No issues here. What I did was let it download gmscore, then I cut and pasted base.apk and lib (from data/app) to system/priv-app/GmsCore (deleting preeviois GmsCore.apk and lib first) and renamed to GmsCore.apk - then reboot.
Id try this.

"Files has stopped" Issue

Hi there. I've just upgraded my phone to Oreo and I have this issue with the 'Files' app (not the My Files app). Whenever the Files app is launched to pick a file (e.g. attach a file in Gmail or select a photo in Snapseed) the Files app will immediately crash with a 'Files has stopped' error.
I have tried booting the phone into safe mode and tried attaching a file in Gmail, which worked perfectly. So my guess is that a third-party app is causing the persistent crash. However, my phone has several apps and trying to identify the culprit app(s) will be too much of a hassle.
Does anyone else have the same issue after upgrading to Oreo and have a solution to it (other than factory resetting)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Probably there's a bug somewhere. So you could do any of the following:
1. Wait for an update
2. Do a factory reset
Apart from these two, I don't see other options.

Hmmm well alright, thanks for your help

I have the same problem with my NOTE8, after the March Update, this problem started to appear.
Got in touch with the guys from MyFiles and after few e-mails, they say:
''I checked your log files and found out some error.
But these are regardless of MyFiles so cannot handle it anymore by our side.
com.android.documentsui has problem and it seems to be below apk''
Went here: android.stackexchange.com/questions/187501/what-is-com-android-documentsui
And I believe its a major software glitch that has to be corrected by google/android/samsung...

As others have suggested this may be due to the app nit working with Oreo.
I use FX explorer app from play store, it works with every version of android I have ever used including S8× exynos Oreo
As well as being a great file explorer / management app it can be used to navigate to a specific file to attach etc.

Hi, sorry I forgot to update. I don't know what happened, but I think after a minor software update, the issue resolved on its own.
Nevertheless, thanks for all your insights and advice on this matter
