Paid apps: Not updating?

I have purchased a few apps from the market. Like the free apps, my downloads will list available updates. After selecting to update, the apps go to 'Starting download...'
Of the 3 paid apps that have updates available, all of them have been sitting at 'Starting download...' all day today. All the free apps that had updates updated without any problems. I tried canceling and restarting the update, but still just hanging there.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have JF 1.43 RC33 with apps on sdcard

Hi,
I experienced this too.
I think it's a google bug.
Email the app develpoer and tell him you can't download the updates for his app.
He may refund your money or send you the update since you already paid for the app.

Don't email the developers they don't have control over the market. Problems must got through T-Mo/Google

I just emailed developer and he sent me a copy of the new download, says there is a bug in the market right now.

For anyone else.

Ok good I thought I was the only one or that they're watching apps that require root access to ID folks with root'd phones (I downloaded Advanced Taskman).

this only worked for me once, but i uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked for me. i think it was for photoslide, but all the others have not worked by doing this.

Uber App won't work - Chinese Version Mate 9 in Canada

Hey guys, please help.
I am using the 6 GB premium Chinese version, but I live in Canada using all the google play services, ect. Google maps seems to work fine, but when I request a ride using my Uber app, it fails and gives me an error when it needs to obtain GPS information from the phone. The app works fine on other devices. I have already rebooted, updated, and given permissions to the app with no effect.
Just for the time-being I use my Mate 9 as a wifi hotspot and then use the app on another device like my Ipad, so its not the end of the world. That's how I got to work today haha. But it would be nice to use it on my phone, its one of my favorite apps. If anyone knows of anything I could try to troubleshoot please let me know!

Anybody?

You check permissions? Whitelist section?

I tried that, given the app full permissions and allowed secondary launch, ect. I have rebooted and force closed, opened again, and still get the same error.
I will take a screenshot later and post it here when I have time.

I got the same problem with P9 Chinese version. With another car-calling service app like Grab it's work well. But only Uber can't. I think problem from the firmware

Are you sure that your Uber app is the latest version?

I am also having the same problem. Whenever I press to request Uber, it shows an error. Tried in many ways, updated Uber, uninstalled the app, etc but I am still getting the errors. Can anyone help pls?

make sure dont use the HiApp version but gplay to install the app, recently I had issues with an app just not working anymore after I installed from gplay and then updated from HiApp. after this I disable all notifications for updates and auto updates from HiApp so everything now comes from gplay, my uber app works fine tho but it is a little slow on getting gps signal sometimes not sure why, my way around this is start gmaps first and then start uber app. being thinking about rebranding to internatinal version (maybe you could do the same) but still researching for it.

just tried uber for the first time after update to B175 in my chinese mate 9 and I got an error about processing my request. not sure why is doing this now.

I found a way to do it, apparently the problem is just with requesting the drive once you do that you can track and pay from the app itself.
I used https://m.uber.com/ to get my driver and then used the app for everything else. It is an odd but faste solution until we find out why the uber app is not working on MHA-AL00 devices.

Why are you guys buying Chinese version when you can get the US version ? Just curious

Samsung apps update problem (SM-G955U1)

Hey everyone...
I recently purchased a Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955U1) and I'm having some problems with it.
The Samsung native apps like Messages, Phone, Contacts, etc don't get updated, but in their "about" section which shows the version, says this app is up to date. I even tried going to Galaxy Apps and tried updating from there, but there is no update available. My phone itself is apparently up to date as well, but I'm not sure.
This is the software version installed:
G955U1UEU1AQH3
I went to apk websites and saw that almost all the samsung native apps on my phone are at least a couple versions out of date, and it's really bothering and annoying. To a point that my samsung messages app, doesn't even have "delivery report" option for sms. It's just not there...
2 of my family members have also Galaxy S8 pluses, and their phones function well, and everything is up to date!
So, how can I fix this problem on my phone without modding it or anything because I want my phone to remain mod free!
I will appreciate your help VERY VERY much!

Go to Galaxy apps, upper right for menu, my apps, updates

What website you are using I'd like to see if my apps are updated.

load new versions from apkmirror.com, then for being able to install them without getting the "package exists" error you have to change the secure startup (off if on and vice versa), then you are able to update these system apps!

Still having issues after toggling the secure startup feature. Anyone have any other idea? Right now I still get the "package exists" error. I even try going up only one version at a time.

I figured it out. I was being too impatient before. Go to apkmirror or similar sites and download the apks to the phone. Once downloaded, you need to toggle secure startup (if it is on the turn it off, but if off then you will need to turn it on). After you do that, immediately restart your phone. Once booted, head directly to the download folder and install all of the apks. Do not launch any of the apps to verify until you finish loading all of the apks or you will have to repeat the process. Once you are done, you can launch which ever app to verify. I had an issue with the apps crashing at first so I rebooted and all issues went away for now at least.
Good luck. You can also set apkmirror to notify you when a new version comes out if you so choose to go that route.

Android 12 update, amazon appstore, hearthstone

Hello dear community,
I updated my LG G8S to Android 12 yesterday. After the update, an app (Hearthstone) that I installed via the Amazon Store was no longer available (the icon on the desktop was grayed out, it is no longer listed under the installed apps in the system menu). If I now go to the Amazon Store and open the app there, it offers me to install the app. If I press it, it first downloads the app, but then doesn't install it. I guess because he notices during the installation that the data from the app is still there. In the Amazon Store, he then changes from "install" to "update". I press on it, download again, then nothing. Probably because he notices that the update is somehow already there. Then it changes from "update" to "open". If I then want to open the app, it doesn't work, probably because Android doesn't know anything about the installation. Then the Amazon store jumps back to "install".
Hearthstone can no longer be installed via the Google Playstore, because Google probably also checks that something is still there.
Presumably the solution is simply to unload the rest of the app. But since Android doesn't have the app on the screen, it doesn't work with it. So I would have to do it manually somehow, but I'm afraid that I'll miss something if I just delete a few folders. Can you enlighten me on the best way to do this?
I installed the SD Maid app. This actually recognizes an app called "com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone". When I try to uninstall the app with SD Maid I get the message "The app was not found in the list of installed apps." The app still remains in SD Maid's list.
thanks in advance
Alex

Run SD Maid Pro edition to remove orphaned files and invalid file entries.

If you aren't on an Amazon device download Hearthstone app ( 24.6.154818 update ) from APKPURE.

Both didn't help. When I try to install fron apk Android shows an error, that it is conflict with an existing package.

I created an account here as this has to be the worst recommendation ever, doing a factory reset because one app won't install :/
as for the OPs original question, I ended up here as I have the same problem and I too thought there was something wrong with my installation on my device, tried all kinds of cleanup and nothing worked
and stupid me only then thought to check the blizzard forums.... if you look in the known issues post, they are aware there is a problem with the installation from amazon appstore and are working on a fix

I've been to the blizzard forum of course. There has been an issue, that they told has been solved already, when my problem was still there. So I thought, thats not for me. But yes they posted, that it's solved on saturday and surprisingly it was indeed.

Package Parsing error on jojo edition docomo phone L-06d. (It’s an Lg Optimus vu)

I bought a limited edition jojo docomo phone (L-06d) and it came out in 2012. But whenever I try to update any of the apps it will not let me and will keep saying “package parsing error”. Due to this I am unable to use most of the jojo exclusive content on the phone. It will not let me log into google play even after making a new account, so I was thinking of trying a vpn. Also it says no Lg software update’s available (in settings) but a docomo one is Available. But it will not let me update it even using wifi unless a docomo SIM card is inserted. The seller I bought this from had everything working but for some reason they factory reset it, making all those cool things shown in their listing unusable until I figure out how to fix what’s going on with this phone. I don’t care if I can’t make calls or text but I really want to play to f mega game but due to none of the apps even the game installer not working/updating I can’t. Any help is appreciated thank you

thanks but it won’t even let me install a vpn although somehow YouTube worked over the internet. I was told this by someone on another site: “It's because the phone and its OS version are woefully out of date. It probably doesn't even run the Play Store, and is stuck on the old Android Market. I don't think there's anything you can do about it, unless someone has created a custom ROM for that specific phone based on a more recent version of Android”. So do you think there is a way to fix it? Or am I screwed unless I go to Japan? Because I was thinking about returning it to the seller to get a refund because unless I can get some of the stuff working it’s basically a paperweight
