Does anyone know if this is possible yet?
Tap&Pay are ready in Android 4.4, but if I got to play.google.com and try to get the APK it says it isn't compatible for any of my phones (big surprise) and if I try to sideload it, it first asks if I would like to install of the existing application (even though I don't see one) then if I click install it says "App not installed". (I am rooted just as an FYI)
lastly, www.google.ca/wallet directs me to a website that implies that Wallet IS available in Canada, and tells me to download the app from the play store, but then again, I try and it says My device is not compatible (Rogers Wireless LGE Nexus 5)
Is there something in my build.prop file that is preventing the install? When I look it is just listed as hammerhead and Nexus 5, I don't see anything that would prevent it from working, other then carrier being "unknown"
Thanks for any help, we have NFC everywhere now, I would love to be able to use it...
Did you ever figure this out? A friend of mine said he had no problem installing wallet and adding a card, however I have been unable to get around the location restriction when opening the wallet app...
Wallet comes pre-installed but it's disabled (frozen) if you're outside the US when Android starts up. You can see it in Titanium Backup and defrost it but when you start it the app will say it's not available in your region and close. The message makes reference to updating your Google home address so it might not be checking location with the phone anymore. I tried revoking Wallet's location access with APP Ops and it worked but still gives me an error.

Hi everyone...
I've done the most stupid thing in my entire life with Android - I've trusted OP of this thread (the Force OTA how-to).
I've struggled with getting all push notifications and tokens for almost all Google service.
There's only one left, that doesn't work: android device manager doesn't see my device.
I know that other people had problems with it also, I didn't get it back to work with any instruction available.
I don't want to factory reset...
Is there any way I can re-add my device to Google Play (it's listed and I can push apps to device) and Android Device Manager?
ATM it just says I don't have any...
BTW: The other thread should be removed as this stupid method only causes problems!
Unfortunately it's just closed.
the fix should be very easy: remove and re-add your google account from settings->account->google
you won't loose anything
I wouldn't ask if it would be so easy.
I've tried that, i've tried giving permissions to manager once again, i've trying re-caching the google play store.
The only thing that changed was that my phone now shows up in google-play list (as my device).

What I said before IS the fix, what does not work yet? did you tried a restart of the phone?
I've tried that already two days ago.
I have push notifications, I have working PlayStore, I can see device on the device-list and 'last usage' data is updating everyday.
What I don't see is my device in "android device manager" (website to track phone & ring/clear it).

then try to check on "google settings" app on your phone if device management is enabled (location + wipe)..or maybe it needs some time to appear on the website again
It is set, i've searched for all possible options.
It's strange as it need so much time to appear... After first run it showed up seconds later on my account.
N5 KK4.4.3 / Stock ROM & Stock kernel / Rooted (SupeSU 1.94) / PhilzTouch6 6.15.4 custom recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7)
Play Store build v 4.8.20. / Play Services 4.4.52 (1174655-038)
Play Store appears to work fine in all tested facets except for manually updating Play Store apps.
When choosing to update apps which Play Store indicates need updating, the download process appears to initiate, but nothing more. After I accept permission changes (if any) "Download..." appears in the Play Store app and on notification bar, (the blue horizontal scrolling download bar just continuously scrolls) but none of the apps appear to download even one byte. This happens if I choose "update all" or update an app individually. (connected via StraightTalk data connection, as wifi not available at my current location). Same issue in Safe mode.
I can buy/listen music via Play Store, browse the web with Chrome, download Google Mail. I cleared Play Store app cache. Never observed this behavior in 4.4.2 (but unsure if I previously attempted to manually update Play Store apps after install of 4.4.3).
What might be the best practice troubleshooting tips to apply in this scenario?
Updated with 444 OTA and issue continues.
thats not an android specific problem..its more a playstore problem..ive have encountered this a least once with every single android phone i've own dated back to the OLD Motorola DROID days its basicallly hanging cuz its not "receiving" data connection. whether wifi or cellular. a remedy that i've learned is to look for the current app that is "downloading" and cancel the download.and it should move on to the next one and start downloading again. works everytime for me.

Yes, tried that. And as stated attempted to update apps individually.
Found that I could update via wifi. But not via StraightTalk data connection. Previously did not have issues updating via StraightTalk. So have to research this issue.

I can still download updates via wi-fi connection but no longer able to download Play Store manual updates when connected to StraightTalk data connection. Up to about three weeks ago I was able to download updates via StraightTalk, but no longer. When connected to StraightTalk I still receive notifications app updates are available but they will not download, either individually or selected as a group ('update all'). When update is selected, the Play Store shows a download notification for a few seconds and continuously displays "downloading..." on the apps page but nothing else.
Still unable to figure this out. Everything else is working fine. Just not able to download app updates from PlayStore when connected to StraightTalk (AT&T) data connection. Downloading updates via wifi works fine. But I'm almost always in an area without wifi access.
UPDATE: I allowed the update download attempt continue for ten minutes or so, and an error notification finally shows up:
"Error
Update for "whatever app" could not be downloaded due to an error. (495)"
Googled "could not be downloaded due to an error (495)" and found some possibilities I need to research.

Discovered that was a generic error message.
But found a solution. In Settings > Data Usage > Mobile > Media > 'Restrict background data' was checked.
Guess I won't do that again
So my next question is how to set Google Play to NOT check for updates.
I know how to disable auto updates, but I'd like the phone to also not check for updates. I rather do that on my own.
Yeah. Title.
So I just recently rooted my (Verizon Snapdragon variant if it matters) S7 and noticed a few things were off. The immense slowdown, overheating, and just general bugginess reminiscent of old android 3.0 - 4.0. Not only this, but Apps wouldn't install on my phone unless I used the Play Store on my PC, or maybe the install button on an apk would work. Now, I'm no fan of nostalgia if it prevents me from using my phone, so I did the only logical solution and just factory reset my device. Now, speed is fixed, temps... seem to be normal, however the install button on apks don't work all the time, and the Play Store still doesn't work. To specify, If I try to install a free app/update, it says downloading for what seems like eons, then finally crashes. If I try to purchase an app, it spits out "The Google Play Store has stopped working" and freezes up until I force close it. I've cleared the cache and everything and it still doesn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: FORGOT TO MENTION! I installed BuildProp editor to fix the problem with my wifi forgetting the password after I disconnect (ro.securestorage.support = false). deleted /efs/ss_data and returned secure.storage to true. thing is, it still didn't work before or after this wifi fix.
REV. 3: I think it started after flashing xposed framework with chainfire's own Flashfire app.
REV. 4: No dice, it won't work if I use my cellphone data either. So it's definitely not 3rd party (Router, ISP, ect.)
EDIT LUCKY NUMERO 5: Got it to pop an error at me while trying to reinstall ES File Explorer. Error code: 920
[C/P straight from redit because I'm lazy and I'm getting zero help there.]
I'm having the wifi issue as well, retrying the buildprop method again to see if I did something wrong but I dont' think so.
Hi everybody.
I'm new here, and haven't helped anyone yet. Still I hope somebody wants and actually can help me. Thanks in advance.
First & foremost: I searched for the problem before posting this and everywhere it says that Cyanogen fixed the 'Google Play Service' error. However, something is definately wrong with my phone as it won't boot anymore.
I'll try to keep it as short as possible:
Phone: One Plus One w Cyanogen mod. 64gb model.
I was on holiday last month and got a notification of an update. I installed it. After that I was experiencing the problem everybody seemed to have. Popups every 30 seconds (or less) saying the Google Play Services have stopped. As I was on holiday and didn't have Wifi at the time I was just irritated by the errors. I needed my phone for navigation (I was doing a roadtrip) and although Google Maps wasn't working anymore, Nokia Here maps was still operating and so I thought to solve the problem when I return home. However, a few weeks ago another update appeared on my phone and I was thinking this might be the fix for the problem so I installed it. Unfortunately the errors still appeared.
Then I found a workaround to stop the errors, I uninstalled the updates for Google Play Services. This stopped the errors, and still some apps were not working (GPS based apps) but at least the errors were gone.
Yesterday I tried to solve the problem. I read a lot online and decided to install the newest Google Play Services file. Unfortunately it didn't work. Errors returned but now I could also not enter the Google play store anymore. This should have been the moment to back up important files... but I didn't. Stupid me forgetting about lesson 1, logic 101... so stupid.
Ok, so this morning I stumbled upon a page from problogbooster.com and decided to follow Solution 1, which says:
Go to Settings >> Select Security >> Device administrators >> Deactivate Android Device Manager
Uninstall Google Play services update
Go to Settings >> Application Manager >> All >> Google Play services >> Select Uninstall Updates
If you use an app that requires the latest Google Play services, you’ll get an update prompt and the update may immediately be reinstalled.
Now again go to Settings >> Select Security >> Device administrators >> ACTIVATE Android Device Manager
Reboot your device.
After this reboot my phone doesn't start anymore. I'm sick of it. All my pics from my holiday are on there... and I would love to be able to back them up.
Does anybody have an idea on what to try next? Hooking it up through USB hasn't given me access to my files unfortunately.
Thanks in advance for anything that can help. Cheers.
Peter.
Update: every now and then it will try to boot, updating my apps (as if I just did an update) but when it's finished it just reboots again... and again.
The Cyanogen MOD ready screen is showing but nothing.
As there are no responses yet, let me narrow down the question:
Is there a possibility to access my photo's on the phone from the recovery menu? Or through ADB connection? Or through Fastboot? I don't care about the phone. The data matters to me. If it was the other way around I would just go back to factory settings and continue using and take the loss... but I don't want to accept that (yet...)
Pretty please, can someone help me with this?
Cheers
Peter.
To try to summarize, it is a bank application in my country. The application does not work on routed devices, but it has some ways to get around this. The problem is that the latest version of this app force closes every five seconds on routed devices, preventing anyone from logging into the app. If I install an old version it stops the closures, but when you input the right loggin, the application shows a message asking to update and it is not possible to skip or proceed, unless updating it.
If you update, the crashes come back and is impossible to continue the loggin process.
Apparently, people who already have an old version and is already logged in can still use it normally and the message asking to update does not appear, but people trying to loggin, cant proceed.
I would like to know if there is any way to disable this update check. I tried using APK Editor to change the old version number to the latest version number, but when I do that and install the edited apk, it doesn't even start; I get a message telling that the application has stopped working the moment I click on it.
I believe these thread has the answer, though I can confirm since the images are not there anymore; also, it's not the market, it's the application that gives me the screen asking to update, so maybe this thread would'nt help me even if it still had the images. -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...om-checking-for-update-in-the-market.1460224/
