Hi, my Asus Infinity don't update aplications. It shows me there are updates, but don't download. Any Ideas? Thanks.
You probably haven't got auto-update enabled.
You can just go to the play store, open 'my apps' (the arrow pointing at a line in the top right corner) and either manually update each one or hit update all.
Or open settings (in the play store) and check 'auto update'.
Keep in mind that some apps can't update automatically, like the Twitter app.

Thank, But I can see the updates. Select them, but, the download doesn't start. Neither of my apps are updating.
Do you specifically click 'update' after selecting the app? (It's next to the 'uninstall' button)
On which ROM are you? I had this on a clean CROMI-X install a few days ago. Rebooted, worked fine afterwards.
I'm on stock. The Play Store download one app, install, then continues showing the message "installing ... app". What can it be?

I'm trying to download apps from Google Play without success. So, as an example, I try to download Skype. When I get the web page and Google Play, it has a pull down for what device to install it on. If I click on that arrow, it says "Samsung GT-N8013", but it is greyed out so I can't select it. This means that the INSTALL button continues to stay greyed out and I can't install it. The same thing happens with all the apps I've tried so far. Anyone know why this could be happening? Thanks!
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 had not used this phone for months 9backup phone), and when I dusted it off and flashed a different ROM, I could not update the over 20 out of date apps on play store (server error). I found a possible fix (market Enabler APP-) but no luck.
I saw a post pop up when i started entering the thread title, but it did not completely cover a fix that I found on a website (SeberTech) that cleared it up. I had treid clearing out Play Store data, but that was not enough. Here is what works if anyone runs into this Note - forced stop and then cleared data):
" Solution:
Follow these steps to fix this problem:
1. On your Galaxy S3 menu, go to Settings, then select Apps, then All, and finally Google Play Store.
2. Under Google Play Store, press the Clear Data option and then Force Stop.
3. Go back to Settings again, and then Apps, then select All, and then locate Google services framework from the sorted list. In case you cannot find Google Services Framework from the sorted list, try to scroll right to the bottom of the list. Sometimes, this item is disabled. If it is disabled, you need to enable it first, so you can proceed to the next step.
4. Under Google Services Framework, clear data and then Force stop.
5. Go back to Settings, then Apps, and then All.
6. From the All menu, locate and select Download Manager and the select Clear Data.
After doing all the aforementioned procedures, turn off your phone for about 60 seconds and then turn it back on. Try to access Google Play Store this time and it should be working fine. "
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.,

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?
