[Q] Google Play Movies

I have purchased some movies from Google play and I am unable to play them on my tablet. Has anyone else had this problem? I had tried both downloading and streaming and I only get the loading circle. Sometimes I will get an error message or the app will stop playing, recently I even had a forced reboot of the device. I have tried playing them on the computer and on my phone and they work just fine. Hope someone has a solution.

There are already threads about this, use the search button.
I myself even reported this to Google, as have others.. I went through their entire trouble shooting process, submitted logs, everything.. and they basically gave me the cold shoulder.
They do not care whatsoever and are not offering any fix or estimated fix date. I know several people have gotten refunds when they press the issue with Google but do not expect them to fix the app.
Bottom line is they don't care since there's not enough Tab 2 users.

[Q] CM 10.3 on Galaxy Tab p5113 on Restart Loop

Edited for the third time. Apparently Ididn't fix my problem.
So I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.3 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 (p5113***), and for some strange reason, my tablet keeps restarting randomly. I'd be reading a PDF or scrolling through some random app, and it'd suddenly freeze and the tablet would restart.
This all happened after I was typing a message on the Facebook app when it abruptly freezes and puts me through a restart loop that eventually ended. But when I finally got to startup without a crash, I'd see, almost immediately, a notification telling me that "Trebuchet has stopped responding", and my only option is to hit Ok. And I do, and most of the time, it crashes right afterwards.
At first, I was able to 'fix' (I think) this by freeing up space on my internal storage, because an app was on an update loop trying to install an update that was too big for whatever space I had left. I assumed it was eating up memory, space, and RAM and overwhelming my OS, so I uninstalled it and everything worked fine for most of the night. Later, I was reading a PDF file when Adobe just stopped working, froze, and put me through another restsart loop.
Also, I would like to point out that it is extremely difficult to turn this tablet off. It usually loops a few times before shutting down. Also, CM is updated to the latest STABLE update, which is not at all recent.
All this after Facebook crashed. I seriously have no idea what I do, and I would rather not reinstall CM, because it was an ADVENTURE trying to install it the first time, and I heard it's even more difficult and dangerous to uninstall and restore to factory settings. I'm not really good at this stuff.
Please help. Please.
*** Apparently my tablet is p5110, and the version of CM I installed was compatible with p5113, but it managed to work anyways, so I just shrugged and let it happen. And it has been working for the past 14 months, prior to the Facebook crash that started this mess.

Don't mean to bump, but I'm only replying to myself to show that my original post edit is now moot, because the problem resurfaced ... help.

I don't have a solution to you, but will share my own experience on the 5113. I have two of them. One has been stable since I bought it, except for a brief time when it had the awful first 4.2 update, eventually fixed by the MK3 firmware update. It's working fine. My other one has been a nightmare all year long, after six or eight months of stability after I bought it.
I've installed CM on in, in early June. Unstable.
I've installed Omnirom on it shortly afterward. It was more stable, but still not "stable."
Installed Ripper Rom. Worked of a couple days but was ultimately unstable.
I've recently flashed it back to the MK3 firmware via ODIN. It's still unstable.
I've determined it must be some hardware fault in the tablet, and I'm going to sell it for parts. I've bought an ASUS transformer TF701T tor replace it.
I wish you luck and hope your problem is software only. But I've heard many of these tablets go unstable after a while, and fear it is a hardware thing.

Google Play Services has stopped - Unable to fix

So here is what I'm dealing with. A couple of weeks ago apps on my phone kept crashing. I was seeing a constant "Google Play Services has stopped" message and I was completely unable to use my phone. I ended up saying screw it and I did a factory reset.
The problem was still happening after a reset so I figured I should do a full wipe (Dalvik, cache, system, data) and reinstall the ROM (Cyan 11). Unfortunately that still didn't fix the problem.
Since then I've tried everything. I've ran "Fix Permissions" which seemed to work for about a day and then it started again. Sometimes rebooting the phone fixes the issue for a day but it always comes back. It's not always Google Play Services. It seems to be any random app on my phone that starts to constantly crash. Sometimes this happens from the phone's home screen, other times when I go into the app (gmail seems to be a problem more often than not). The phone was also just randomly rebooting, sometimes a few times a day and sometimes when trying to update apps I'll get various errors (package not signed, error 960, etc).
I finally decided that Cyanogenmod might be the problem. I've replaced my recovery (was CWM) but now I have TWRP. I downloaded Paranoid's latest ROM for the S3, did a factory reset, wiped Dalvik, system, data and cache. I also told TWRP to fix the file system in hopes that it would help and then I told it to Fix Permission.
Once I installed the ROM and the Google Apps, phone boots, I sign in....apps start crashing. I'm so lost. I don't know what else to do. Why would a phone that is freshly wiped have problems with apps crashing. This was happen with both Cyanogenmod and Paranoid. I'm running the same version/download of Cyanogen on my gf's S3 and it's been fine. The phone has been rooted since I got it almost 2 years ago and running Cyanogen this whole time. I only switched to Paranoid in hopes it would fix this problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on something I should try? Right now my phone is a pain to use, I'm constantly clearing crash pop ups and then just today it suddenly lost my google account and all my data was gone. No contacts, gmail empty, etc.

Silly but serious question, is play services installed? I've seen several people try to install Google Apps without play services installed and it will give this error without it being installed. I can't produce a screen shot for you as I'm not on a locked bootloader

Well, although I've never specifically installed Google Play Services, it should be part of the Google Apps zip file I'm flashing along with the ROM. This is happening with 2 different ROMs with their respective Google Play App zip files.
I also just checked and it is listed in Apps>All.

Alright, I've seen this issue on several different posts. Just a suggestion, it's worth a try at this point.
Try removing play services from the system file, make a backup first. Reboot and then reinstall the backup you made, it should push it back into data/app

Certainly can't hurt. I'll give it a shot this evening and see if it helps.

By chance did you get a moment to try this?
From my CM11 S3

I didn't. I don't know why but the phone seems to be working correctly now. I don't understand why. I didn't do anything but suddenly things aren't crashing. It's been stable for 24 hours now. I didn't do anything so I don't know why but I'm just holding off until I see a crash. Still confused but glad it's working (except my GPS).
I'm honestly afraid to reboot it now. It hasn't worked this well in weeks. Normally I'll open gmail and get a crash 99% of the time. I reboot and it works for a bit but then starts crashing again. Same thing with other apps. Maybe it heard me talking about wanting to throw it out a window and it's got scared. =)

As long as it works that's all that matters. That is odd that all of the sudden it started just working fine
From my CM11 S3

Yeah, just like how it 'broke'. It was working one minute and then suddenly throwing crashing all over. This phone is possessed. At least I can upgrade in April. If I see the problem return, I'll try the above suggestion and report back.

I know that feeling, I've soft bricked mine more than once. Thankfully I just recently ditched VZW so I'm not locked down to there phones anymore. I kept my S3 and took it with me

Hipstreet Flare 2 HS-9DTB7 - App Crashes, Odd Behaviour, Deleted App Return, More.

After many long attempts to fix this I have come up empty handed. I believe the Hardware is either corrupted or damaged but need an expert to help confirm. (it doesnt even seem worth it at this point to fix, but i want to try anyways, its my kids tablet) I will add as much detail as possible.
First the tablet would get stuck in booting (A9 screen) found that this is due to a corrupted firmware. I flashed a firmware onto the device and it was able to boot up, however still with a few issues. google play store when updated would instantly crash "google play store has stopped" the second you clicked to use it. the only fix i found for this was to uninstalled the google play store update back to factory and it would worked, with the problem of some apps had to be downloaded over and over until it decided to complete, often finishing with a package file invalid. but i managed to get a few games and whatever and gave it back to my daughter.
after about a week everything crashed at once on boot up. process.google.gapps would crash over and over and over as soon as you click ok, many other apps crashing as well and just repeating google account manager, Key chain, RS OTA, and others i cant remember at this time (the problem is currently not occurring or i would go get this information.) mostly the gapps process was crashed over and over making the tablet unusable due to constantly trying to click these errors.
Odd behaviour, during that i managed to click and quickly select settings, and went in and deleted a bunch of apps or uninstalled updates on ones that were crashing, i could uninstalled enough to stop all the errors.. then i rebooted the tablet.. and all the errors were back, and everything i uninstalled was back too, how the f**k?! lol.
i attempted such things as going into recovery and deleting all the cache and media, nothing. so i flashed it again.
the above error return after some time. and i flashed it again (my daughter wanted it working this seems to be my only quick and temporary fix, i have disabled many apps and stopped it from automatically updating, however i still found some settings after being changed, to be undone back to the way it was before i changed it after rebooting the tablet. again it always crashes when google play store updates. this time i rebooted the tablet and went to update the store, and now the app can NOT be found in the store. there does not even seen like a way to update the tablet like "here is your only buggy version, have fun"
CORRECTION: Google Play Store could not be updated because after restarting the tablet the updates were back, as if i had never uninstalled them. i didnt bother checking the first time because this is very unusual.
I am willing to root, change, hack, smash, throw out the window, put it in the hydraulic press at work...i dont care lol
i believe the hard drive has damage.
(i didnt run thru all the attempts i have made to fix things, cause i could write a novel. Thank you for reading.

Extremely Slow Play Store Downloads

Hello,
Since about a couple of weeks ago, the Play Store started getting really slow. Updates get stuck at "download pending", and sometimes they do download. Other app downloads get stuck at 100% downloaded for a long time before installing. I can leave my phone on updating all night and in the morning it is still not done. This happens both on LTE and on Wi-Fi, and I do have very fast Wi-Fi. I am on the OxygenOS Open Beta 10. I did not do any changes to my phone when this started happening.
I have tried all of the following to fix the problem, but it doesn't help:
Rebooting the phone
Uninstalling Play Store updates
Deleting and adding Google Account
Clearing cache
I tried wiping the phone and using OxygenOS 9.0.2 - same problem.
I have clean-wiped the phone, deleting even internal storage, and flashed OxygenOS clean stock, and still it does this. (it also has new problems, like Magisk doesn't offer root authorization anymore even though it installed and working according to Magisk Manager...)
The only way I could get the Play Store to work properly was to use a custom ROM, HAVOC 2, but that ROM has problems with the front camera in some apps.
It almost seems like the Play Store detects OOS and decides to act funky. Has anyone faced this problem, or resolved it? Should I contact Google and see if the problem is their Play Store?
I almost feel like, since I have tried with clean wiping and using stock ROMs, and things that weren't broken before just started breaking for no reason, that there is a problem with the hardware itself. It makes no sense that the problems carry over into stock ROM when I have wiped everything several times.

Uninstall or disable the google app.
That fixed it for me.
Let me know if that works.
