Google play movies and TV app not opening - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have xperia z5 dual latest firmware I can not find Google play movies and TV on my home screen, if I go to apps in settings and I can see its there, I went to playstore and tried to update the app after the update there is no option to open the app, and it is on the latest update 3.10.10

Did you try looking in the Google folder in the App Drawer?

Thanks for replying, yes I already looked it's not there, it's weird I wonder if someone else has the same problem

Disabled in Settings - Apps? Search app drawer for "movie"? I can certainly open it from the Play Store so I don't really know what going on with yours...

It was not disabled in settings but the weirdest thing just happened, I cleared app data and cache, then went to play store and uninstalled the updates and suddenly the open app option came to existence and appeared on my homescreen, anyway thanks for help appreciate it

Playstore update (Web-Based)

Don't know if anyone has noticed but the play store has been updated, not the app but the website version.
The reason i mention it is because if you go to the play store and click the "My Android Apps" tab it shows you all the apps you have installed and used to have installed(Which is nothing new), but the feature i have noticed which may come in handy for many is you can now update your apps from this tab when there is an update available, the reason this would come in handy for me is like many ppl i have modified my DPI and as most know doing so make some apps incompatible for your phone and unable to update from the play store app.
Well not any more as you can now update them from the play store even those ones that show up in your app store as not being compatible but you already have them installed.
Sorry if this is been covered before or is old news i done a quick search and had a quick look but never found anything..

Google App - device not compatible?

Hello
I´m confused about the following thing:
When opening Google App in Play Store on my z3 device OR with browser on desktop, i got a message that the app is not compatible with my devices!
So what happend?
Can anyone open the play store and search for Google App?
This is the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
On my tablet z4, the newest version is installed but also nothing to see in play store list or after a search for google app...
Is this a normal thing?
Greetings,
SirRobin
It works fine for me.
You may need to let people know if you are rooted and what ROM you are on. This may be a build.prop issue
I´m currently on stock Sony ROM without root or anything else - both for z4 tablet and z3 Smartphone.

Try logging out of google, clear cache on play store, and log back into google.
Google app in play store
I got the same thing today on both phone and tablet. Hope Google fix it
Google app in play store
Signed out of google. Cleared cache and data. Signed back in to google. Seems OK now.
I have a problem with the Google App and the Google Now Launcher.
Both the notification and navigation bars are solid colours (light blue and black respectively). This happened overnight when I switched ROMs and I haven't found a fix yet.
I am having the same problem. My Sony xperia Z3 doesn't have a default search engine and play store or apps store

Google Play Store App Search Broken

Post-Oreo update, I can no longer use the Google Play Store's search bar. The app immediately crashes.
Anyone else have this issue? I've tried clearing the cache and data, but it doesn't help.
Uninstal playstore update
Same issue
After oreo update, play store crashes when clicking or searching on an app in the store.
I tried clearing cache of play store and play services and re-installing the latest play store apk. no luck.
Any Ideas?
Similar situation here on nougat. One of my m9's has playstore problems and the other one doesn't. One is a daily and one is fresh. Fresh one works great. Must be an app or something causing it as nothing short of factory restore has fixed it..

You could check if it is an App, by rebooting into safe mode.
Press power button, then long press power down. As soon, as the save mode pop-up shows up press OK. The device will reboot to safe mode and thus deactivated all installed Apps but system apps to make sure nothing can interfere with core functionalities. If all works there, you have to determine which are the recently installed Apps and uninstall them one by one to check which one it is.

Had same issue post Oreo update. Uninstalled updates on the play store, after updates re-installed worked just fine
I have just had the same problem with the EMEA Oreo update. I tried rebooting, clearing cache and data of both Play Store and Google Play Services and nothing worked. I uninstalled updates of both Play Store and Google Play Services and it became even worse: I couldn't even start the play store (nothing would apparently happen when clicking the icon) and sometimes force close messages from the play store would appear even while it wasn't running in the foreground. What eventually seems to have fixed it was downloading and installing the latest Play Store APK from APKMirror. Maybe an automatic Play Store update would have also done the trick, but I am not sure that the auto-update itself would have worked in that state.
guys uncheck & disable PlayStore and PlayService app in boost+ battery optimizion....your problem fixed
boost+ change resulation lower of app in battery optimizion mode and new version of play store have problem with this mode
if problem in downloads disable : Download and downloadmanager app in boost+
OMG!
This seems to be the fix! Thank you so much, it's been driving me crazy for weeks!
i uninstalled almost all my apps trying to figure out which one was the culprit!
I cant see PlayService in boost+ but turning it off for Playstore now lets me browse the store!
THANK YOU!

I've been having this problem since Oreo landed on my moto g6 phone. I'm not finding boost+ on my phone. The closest thing I can find is a special apps access->battery optimization that has a list of apps to set battery optimization. Google Services is precluded from optimization and I can set play store yes/no for optimization. Setting this off and rebooting has had no effect on Google Play Store's crashing.

music stopped working after update

new to this forum and desperate need some help. TIA.
I did an update when got prompt this week. Since then, i no long able to play music through the music app or any app. I still can see the songs. When I click, there is a blink and then nothing happened. rebooted multiply times, downloaded few new music apps and all the same.
running MHA-L29 8.0.0.367(C567)
At this point if nothing else fixed it (clearing OS cache, clearing app cache) I would suggest a factory reset.

I had a bug, not music, but here's one that fixed mine, and a few other people's glitches.
Settings>Apps & notifications>Apps>Google Play Services
STOP the app.
Storage, clear cache.
Then go back to the app, scroll to the bottom where it says store, click that, and uninstall the play app, or
just go to the play store under your account for this phone and uninstall the play app. This puts it back to
the stock app (mine went from version 12.xx to 11.xx), reboot the phone and see if that fixes it.
If not, just update the play app on the play store.
That fixed the issue I was having with SEVERE lag on opening, using and closing apps.

DO NOT update the play app. Keep it at the 11.xx version. So far, I have only one app that nags me that I need to update
the play app. I just ignore it.

Apps not having access to storage? (Title most likely not exact)

I am not sure if the title is correct for the problem that I have.
Phone not rooted
I got the S8+ earlier this month, used smart switch to transfer my apps and data.
and today I wanted to check my twitter, and I use the flamingo app which is paid.
the app wouldn't open and gave me a message saying something in the line of 'this app is modified,contact developer if this is false'.
Well since it is a paid app and i installed it though smart switch, the app definitely had a security check thing probably tripped.
So I went on the play store and uninstalled it via play store.
Problems starts occurring
Play store says uninstalling, I went to my home launcher seeing the app already uninstalled, went back to the play store and it still says uninstalling. and goes on for a while without changing.
So i restarted my phone, and tried to install it again, only this time when i click install, it says installing for a bit,then play store crashes.
I open it again and go to the app page and it says downloading without a change in the progress bar.
other problems i encounter
gallery wont load any photos/ albums , just says no items.
Whatsapp , when i try to view story that is picture or video it just closes the app, and when i open it again and wait for a bit it will close by it self. every time i open it wait for a bit then it closes.
twitter, when trying to download pictures the app closes, and the closing only happens when trying to download pictures.
these closing of apps don't have the 'app crashed' pop up it just closes.
what i tried to do to fix it, and none worked
Restarted a couple of times.
Cleared cache and data for play store , play services.
removing all my google accounts , and signed in again.
clearing cache/data for media provider
other notes that might be useful
so i tried to install the flamingo app again (via apk) , and it took a while to install 5-6 minutes, tried to up date it and play store closes, opened play store again it just says downloading pending and after a bit just closes.
just opening the play store and waiting for a bit closes the app.
instagram doesn't seem to be affected.
i am downloading the stock rom to flash to my phone but the download is slow only 50KB/s and the rom is 3GB which will take like half a day to complete..
please any help would be great.
thank you in advance , and sorry for my mistakes in writing this form.
Why don't you try factory reset? (prior to flashing)
