Am I going effing crazy or what? I can't add hardly anything to my wish list anymore. For over a week now.. It is getting quite irritating as I love that feature. I am always adding stuff to my wish list. Its an awesome bookmarking utility whether it was intended as one or not.
I can maybe add one or two things to the list a day, and when I do they are pretty much only paid apps.
That is exactly how Apples appstore works. You can only add paid applications to your wish list.
If they are planning to change that to only paid apps I'm not gonna be happy. That would be very counterproductive.
Sure you could just install it real quick if its paid, but I don't need apps I don't need right this minute wasting space and other resources. And also I will find a good app for my tablet while browsing on my mobile. So I will add to wish list then download on my tablet.
Every time I try to add something it simply says 'could not add "some app" to wish list'. Am I the only one having this problem because I don't see anyone else complaining about it anywhere. Nor even a section to contact Google plays support team about it.

I apologize. Your reply went unnoticed till now. But I just tried it. First I tried adding to wish list an application on the Google Play Store app on my Nexus 5, it gave the usual 'could not add appName to wishlist'. I then opened the link by sharing to my browser and sure enough it said 'An error occurred, please try again later.'
So unfortunately looks like its happening on both. So am I alone here? Are others able to add free applications to their wish list still? Are you able to Lesalloum? If so must be an issue on my account. But this is the only issue I am having.

Me Too!
I am also having this issue. It is not a software issue, it is an account issue. I have two google accounts on my phone, and online. When I switch to the second account, on both the website and the Play Store in the phone, I can add to its wishlist just fine. But I am unable to add things to the wishlist with my primary account.
When I tap the bookmark icon on my phone, the little "Adding to wishlist..." message pops up, but is replaced by one that says "AppName could not be added to wishlist". When I go on the website and click the add to wishlist button, it says "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later." I hadn't added things to my wishlist for a while before today, but it's a pretty annoying issue.
It appears that I can install from the phone and remotely via the website as normal.
Problem solved (for me, anyways)
Well, after a lengthy back and forth and escalation to a higher support person and engineers, it turns out that they issue is the fact that the Google Play wishlist has an item limit!!!! There was no notification of this anywhere, and the error messages gave no indication that this was the case. I'm able to remove items and add new ones, but I'm pretty annoyed that this is even an issue, and that the error message don't say what the issue is, since Google Play knows exactly what the problem is.
I've attached screenshots of the error messages I received. After learning that there is an item limit, I tried removing an app. I was able to remove it, and re-add it. I then removed it, added another app, and was unable to re-add the first app.
Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
how many?

I am already at my limit because it keeps happening for more than a week now. It started happening a little after a playstore update so I thought that this might be the issue. Cleared data and uninstalled updates but it kept happening so it really must be a limit.
I can check how many apps I have added... Is there a count or should I go and count them on my own?

lol, yeah you need to count them!! But the quick way to count...
I can see there are 3 rows of apps on my mobile's screen. I just counted every 3rd rows while I scrolled down. It is 51.
51 x 9 apps = 459 apps plus 7 apps on last (52th) page.

Here is the latest facebook official app with location 'feature' removed.
I am not sure if you guys who use the app know this, but facebook constantly tracks your location. There is a receiver built into the app that every time you "refresh" the app (Interval settings are found in the settings menu of Facebook) it gets your location and everything you do on Facebook, post a status, send a message, upload a photo etc, your location is added and you cannot turn it off..
So i decompiled the apk and removed all locations ability. That means, no checking in, no nearby, nothing that needs to get your location. You WILL get a forced close. I am working on trying to keep that enabled while dissabling the 'tracking' featrue. Just download, copy apk to your phones storage and use a file browser to install the APK.
Hope you guys enjoy the privacy while also enjoying the Facebook app.

This mod will possibly use a tiny bit less. But it uses so much for its Cache. So things are loaded a lot faster and what not.

Are you talking about turning your location off under settings of your phone? Well thats different. There is no way to turn it off in the FB app itself. You can turn off the location thing for your messages but its still secretly getting your location.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but a good app that stops location requests for any application is LBE Security Master. It will prompt you each time an application requests to use certain permissions. You can also check a box to never allow the application to access that setting, in this case it would be location.
Just search on XDA to find it, I'm on my phone and I don't think the app is on the market.

Whenever i tried using a third party app to block GPS to the Facebook app, it would cause the FB app to force close irregardless what you did.
I'll try the app and see what happens. Not sure how it goes about granting and denying access. In all honesty i was looking for something like this.
Just don't use LBE Privacy Guard on jelly bean, it caused my phone to freeze a few minutes after turning on and then rebooted and got stuck in that loop. The only way to resolve it was to use adb and remove the apps file.
The app I mentioned in my post above doesn't seem to have any issues besides that parts of it are in Chinese.

As far as I can tell it does. When I open Facebook, LBE pops up and asks me if I want to allow Facebook to track my location. It detects whether Facebook is using location tracking through WiFi or through GPS. I have not checked to see my posts to see if location is attached to them.

Interesting.. I wonder if it's blocking "locationmanager.getlastknownlocation" as well. This method doesn't access any hardware. It just reads what the last location known was. Meaning if any other app has access to your GPS and gets a lock, that location is remembered and then used by above method.
I feel much more comfortable completely removing the actual physical code no offence to your option though.
And for a thread update, I learned a new tool to help figure out what gets called where. so I might be able to add the ability to check in as well as use "nearby" in the app. And just disable the tracking!

Sort of. I know when notifications are enabled there is a service running. Also what's your refresh interval set at? If that's not disabled then that's what the service is.
If not it may just be in "empty applications" part of androids memory manager. Meaning it's dead but still there to increase launch time. I'm running cm10 and I use the "hold back to kill" option on Facebook so mine is 100 percent gone.

You can hide it from the drawer if your launcher has that feature, but you won't be able to permanently delete it.
It doesn't do much yet, but Google+ universal sign-in was just launched this week and if developers start picking this up and allowing you to sign in to their service using your Google+ account then this is where you will have the ability to revoke app's permissions.
I think they are setting some groundwork to make other changes in managing your Google account from your phone and that we will probably see quite a bit more show up in this app over time. I'm really hoping for a full mobile equivalent to the Dashboard webpage

That makes more sense. Without that explanation, Google Settings just seems like a waste of space.
I can't install apps using the website for Play Store. It lists two devices for my phone, one with an unknown last used date and the other from months ago. I know I have multiple listings due to ROMs, had cleaned a lot out.
Google Services seems to be fine, the 'locate device' and ring works.

Any ideas on how to fix, or how to reset the relationship between the store and device?
Is the app compatible with the device?
Is the device connected to your Google account?

Yes, and occurs for any app.

Yes. However there is a relationship issue. Bringing up "my apps" on the website gives a much different listing (old apps that were uninstalled) that what is installed and what is listed through the play app.
Also rooted and boot unlocked if not obvious by the ROM.

My best suggestion is to clear data and cache for the play store app in settings
Sent from my SCH-1535 using Tapatalk 4
Got it working.
Clearing the cache and data didn't do it, and thankfully didn't seem to even affect it (accounts and settings were all the same when I opened it back up).
I went back into the website's devices section and to settings. For some reason the actual device wasn't checked to show in the app lists; what I thought was a current was from an old flash.
Checked it show be visible, and got rid of the others. All is fine now, and explains why device locate worked as well. Although I don't know why an old phone that does work does't show in the list for locate but does for apps; hasn't been on in just over a year so google might have a timeout for something like that.

This morning I was checking my Gmail on my Nexus 5 (running 4.4.2). While I am annoyed but accepting about the ad-mails in the promotions folder (that's basically what it's for, right?) I was scared ****less.
Still half asleep, my phone suddenly blurted out loud:
"YOU HAVE WON A FREE APP, SHAKE YOUR PHONE TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE"
wtf? we get voice ads now? Is this actually Gmail or some other malicious app?
Can I turn it off?
Had it again. Last part of the message was:
shake your phone now to get your free app
anyone have this too? I was running Kik now...

Try OS Monitor, a great app that's supposed to show all running tasks.
Hi all, since some days (may be one month) when I try to download or update an application from the play store, sometimes it's downloaded/updated twice. For being more clear, when the app is first downloaded and the progress bar is full, Play store re start the download process. It's quiet annoying because my mobile data is eaten by that...
It's very random, sometimes an app do that, sometimes not. It's often graphicals apps (theme, icon pack...), and sometimes other like FKU...
Does anybody other than me have this issue, and also a solution ?

Happens to me also. FKU does it every time. Duolingo just did it as well.
This might help Go in to your settings and then applications go to all and look for the play store and clear cache and data then force stop. Go back to home screen and then open play store and accept the T&C hopefully this will help.
