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phone for months 9backup phone), and when I dusted it off and flashed a different ROM, I could not update the over 20 out of date apps on play store (server error).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 am having frequent issues when I go to the "My apps" section, and doing an "Update All". The applications will begin downloading, reach a certain point of the download (most recently it was 95%), then it seems to pause for 20 seconds, and then it appears to start the download again, usually installing successfully on the second try.
Does anyone see this issue? I am completely stock (no root or ROM)...
Thanks
Try clearing cache and data on Google Play services and Play Store.
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?
Hello all,
This started happening on my S7 Edge and continued happening once I switched to Pixel, but every time I disconnect from WiFI I get the error notification "Can't download music No WiFi connection". As far as I know all of my downloads have been completed and this happens *every* time I disconnect from WiFi. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: The only troubleshooting I've done is clearing the play music cache.
I saw this answer from Google as I was having a similar problem. Seems to be working the last few hours.

Refresh your library. To do so, follow these easy steps:
Open the Google Play Music app .
Touch the menu icon Google Play Music Menu icon.
Make sure the downloaded only switch is off. The switch is gray when it's off.
Touch settings > refresh.
Wait two minutes, and view your library again.
Clear cache for Google Play Music app (Go to settings > apps or application manager > Google Play Music > clear cache > ok).
Check for updates for the Google Play Music app.
Check sync settings. Here's how:
Open the settings app on your device.
Touch accounts > Google.
Touch the account you use with Google Play Music.
Make sure the checkbox next to Google Play Music is checked.
Restart your device.
Seems to have worked for now! Thanks! I'll update if it returns or if I find a separate solution.

Unfortunately I've followed these steps and it seems the problem has returned.
I set up my Pixel 2 yesterday and noticed that whenever I try to access a search within "Settings" I get a "Google Play Services has stopped working." Nothing seems to fix it. I've tried 1) uninstalling updates to restore back to factor installed version but get a "Uninstall unsuccessful" message and 2) Trying to uninstall Google Play Services in hopes of reinstalling. It takes me to Play store with instructions that I need to "deactivate" before uninstalling but the deactivate button doesn't work. I also tried emptying the cache but that did nothing too. Is this a known issue with Play Services and is there something else to try?
You could try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, call google support.
I did a factory reset and now it works most of the time. It seems like it may also be affected when "developer options" is enabled...I like to disable animations to make Android feel snappier.
Hello everyone,
After the recent Google Play Store update I have issues with multiple buttons being unresponsive to taps (nothing happens when you pressing them).
Already have tried every suggestion provided in the links below:
https://support.google.com/googlepl...store-or-apps-won’t-load-these-steps-can-help
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7512202
Issue examples:
1. If I go into About section in Settings and tap on Play Store version, I get a pop-up stating that my Play Store is up to day with "Understood" button. If I try to press it, nothing happens, so I need to press "Back" button in order to pop-up to go away.
2. "See all reviews" button being unresponsive either. If you pressing it, nothing happens, all reviews are not being displayed.
3. What is the most important is that "Install" button stopped working either. When I press it, nothing happens, download does not start. Although weirdly enough I still can update already installed apps through Play Store.
As I have mentioned above, I have tried all suggested options below:
- I have removed and added my Google accounts back, then restarted and tried again - did not worked
- I have tried to delete the data and cache for Google Play Store, Google Services, Download Manager, then restarted and tried again - did not worked
- I have enough space on my phone and I am sitting within a meter from my WiFi router, so all these are not an issue.
- I have uninstalled all the updates for Google Play Store - it helps and button issue disappears so I can use Play Store normally for awhile, but only until the moment when Google Play Store forcefully updates itself and buttons issue come back again. Hence uninstall updates is only temporary solution to my problem. Would be nice to have permanent one.
I am on non-modified, non-rooted, stock Oreo 8.0, Xperia XZ1 Compact phone.
Did you report this issue to Google or the phone manufacturer Sony?

I did, they provided me the links in my original post and told me that if it does not help, then perform a factory reset... It is a little bit too big price to pay for fixing a single issue with one app and risking loosing important data on the way + struggling and loosing time with reinstalling all the apps that I have and setting them up.
As for the Sony support, no, I have not contacted them, but I hardly doubt outcome will be any better than Google support. They will probably tell me to do a Factory reset right away, or ask me to upgrade to Pie, which I do not want to, I am perfectly fine on Oreo.
