Apps won't download on Lollipop - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just unrooted my N5 and upgraded to Lollipop but now nothing will download. I have tried to download several apps and it acts like it's downloading but it just keeps going. Nothing ever actually downloads. Anyone else having this problem and what do I do?

Clear data of Google Play Store and make sure it gives you the prompt to accept their terms when you open it.
If that doesn't work, reflash factory images.

[Q] Google Voice Search won't update from Market

I've tried on the stock rooted GB OTA and on Xboarders tweaked GB and each time I attempt to Update, I get an Installation error: Package file was not signed correctly. This is occurring after factory resets as well.
Am I the only person encountering this, as I've not seen any mention of it in the forums?
Did you try removing the previous version first?

Not yet... I have tried freezing it with no effect on the outcome. Will give that a shot, but I'm curious if anyone else is seeing this issue or if my phone has been hitting the bong when I'm not looking.
Update: Removing the system version (2.1.3) allowed me to download and install the latest (2.1.4). But it just seems like a weird issue. I wonder if LG had done something to the 2.1.3 version that made it incompatible with updating.
Same issue here im gonna root then reinstall the app.
I've done just as mentioned in removing and installing however
The message of voice search being an "incompatible update" appears. Would either of you have the old apk or help with installation of the new one? Unfortunately I thought I backed up the old .apk but it never fully downloaded to my dropbox server ...Thank you in advance!
try rebooting phone first then go to market and try to install i had that error earlier today and a reboot fixed the issue if not try rooting first
Thank you
It is rooted, and it worked after rebooting twice. The first reboot didn't do anything after deleting the ap. Then after looking around I found the lib folder and deleted that too. Afterwards rebooted again and it installed, Thank you though!
no prob glad i could kinda help
Where is the lib folder?

[PROBLEM] Cannot download certain apps from play store

Alright, I searched around for the past hour but I couldnt find an answer, so here goes!!
I have a Nexus 5 that I rooted and installed TWRP just this afternoon. When I tried updating SuperSU and hangouts and installing ES File Explorer the play store was stuck on the "Downloading" message and never downloaded the file. But updates of all other apps worked fine. I am on WiFi. I even tried installing other apps and they work fine.
Here is everything I've tried: Resetting apps preferences, removing and adding my google account, rebooting the phone, clearing play store cache.
Then for one last thing, I tried downloading the apps over 3G and hurrah they download fine!
So I'm guessing the issue is with my WiFi configuration, but my Mac works fine on the same WiFi connection, so please help me out here in identifying the problem!
TIA
Have same issues on gt9300, guess this is google's issue
I thought it was something wrong with my phone, glad to know it isn't. But still weird :|

[Q] Phone rebooting while installing (or updating) apps

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7270).
It's been working fine for a while, but recently, it developed a strange and very annoying habit of rebooting when I'm installing or updating apps. The problem doesn't happen all the time, but the frequency is alarming.
Some apps never succeed in installing, no matter how many times I try (facebook, Clean Master...).
Other apps needed a few retries after each reboot to finally install them (messenger, viber...).
Some apps install or update without problems at times.
If the phone reboots when updating a new app, the app disappears afterwards, and re-installing it might not work on the first try.
I do all my app business via the official "Play Store" app. The app always finishes downloading, then begins installation, after which the screen turns black and the Samsung logo appears, declaring a reboot.
I tried resetting my mobile to factory settings; twice. But the problem persisted.
I just can't figure out the reason. I tried removing the battery, removing the SD card, switching between wifi and data internet, but the phone kept rebooting.
Anybody got a clue why this is happening, and if there's anything I can do about it???
Thanks a lot.

I posted on many forums and tried so many things, to no avail.
There's one last thing I plan on doing, and it's flashing my mobile back to Original Stock firmware.
I thing it got corrupted somehow, and kies is not working on my mobile, saying it was modified.
But the problem is, my internet is retarded and I can't finish downloading the firmware, not matter how many times I try, especially that the site is really annoying!
rapidgator.net/file/6c96e8ba6e813a9aeb47cfd9e3b66fda
That's the link to the file I want to download, if you have better internet, can you please download it, and then upload it to a more suitable cloud service (dropbox, google drive, onedrive...) and then sharing the link with me so I can download it and try this method for the both of us?????
Thanks a lot!

Rooted phone won't install apks, how can I fix this?

I recently rooted my phone, and it worked perfectly fine after that, but a few hours later, I noticed that the play store would not connect, even with a stable connection. Noticing this I thought to resync my account, however I was prompted with a notice saying "could not connect to Google servers, try again later." After getting this, I checked online for solutions, most of them being for me to download ES file explorer and delete a host file, however while trying to get the file explorer apk, I was told it wouldn't install. I finally resorted to a factory reset and I still have the same problem, and I can't get my backup data since I can't log into google accounts. Can someone help me?

Yeah I could do that, but I would like to understand whats going wrong in present case, I have had flashed CM11 many times since past 4 yrs but never faced such an issue.
I even installed TWRP and SuperSU latest version and also Old versions, I tried installing old versions of apps, but phone keeps crashing! Wonder whats wrong?!
Is this a firmware issue?(Tried flashing firmwares too)
or Partitions gone bad?
I tried searching but couldnt find any resource on how to recreate partitions.
Can anyone help please?

Wait,what if you flash cm11? I mean you just wanna stay on KitKat,so why don't cm11?

Clean flash this cm11 nightly+gapps you like.
Make sure you use latest twrp.
Same issue here. Happens not to all apps though. Just particular ones after updating certain apps. Not sure what happened. Only solution is to avoid installing those kind of apps.
