Apps not updating from play store - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

There is a constant list of apps waiting to be updated. Download goes to 100% for the top one but fails to install. Reboot phone and top one installs. Cycle repeats. It is very annoying having to reboot to install each app. Is anyone else having this problem?

Have you tried clearing data/cache from settings?

I have all app caches on all of my devices automatically clear every hour.

Exact same problem here. Widgets don't refresh with new data either. I've done everything short of a factory reset.

I solved this by turning off auto sync for all apps for 30 seconds then turned it back on.

Google Maps (Navigation) GPS Issues

First, it sometimes sends me to the wrong place.
Second and worst of all, my navigation lady keeps saying the same thing over and over "turn right to xxxx and exit at xxxx" doesn't matter where i am going or how far away i am from home. But.the navigation map will show the right path/direction/way (most of the time) just the voice keeps looping on the same message.
I am on stock ICS. I've tried reboot, deleting and reinstalling the app, refresh, wipe cache, etc. anybody has this issue and knows how to fix, it gets really annoying?

Try clearing data from google services frameworks and data and cache from maps. Not sure it will work but it's worth a shot.

The same problem happened to me from time to time -- and it might come back again when I update my ROM. Clearing cache and clearing data for Maps was enough to get rid of the problem. No need to re-flash the entire ROM.
- First stop Maps in your Android system (System settings > Apps > All > Maps then click Force stop);
- Then clear cache
- Finally, clear data;
- Try again loading Maps/Navigation and ask it to drive you somewhere. Ear if the voice is still stuck on the same Turn right on main street...
If the problem persists after trying to clear data and cache, clear all /cache partition and Dalvik's cache in recovery.
Are you using TiBu?

Out of curiosity are you using TiBu, and did you let it reboot your phone on a schedule?
I ask because I have seen this same exact problem. The problem appeared to stem from a scheduled job within TiBu that would clear cache and reboot during the night. I killed that job, and then I no longer had the problem. However, I later went back and set up a different job to move apps to internal memory and then reboot. Once again the problem returned. I have since disabled all jobs that reboot the device, and all is good for me now.
Sign out of Google maps first...

I've heard that for persistent problems like yours that you need to sign out of maps and latitude, then clear the maps caches and data in both, then re-download ur maps updates from the play store. Latitude is known to hold onto a lot of the bad data and then re-communicates it back to maps.

hi, i use tibu only to manually back up and delete apps. beyond that I have not used the tibu any other way (i don't know how and have not had the chance to learn) however, i might check it too in case i toggled something that i should not have without knowing.

Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.
Sent from my PURE XL using Tapatalk
Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.
turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?
Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

I do, but it was never a problem before the update. It seems rebooting helps with this issue, and then it lasts for like 1 month and then happens again. And now battery lasts nothing! do you have this issue after the update?

S7 causing multiple issues (Slowdown, stuttering, auto closing)

Hey,
Yesterday started noticing issues for my S7, which I've had since launch. Have not rooted it or flashed anything to it, but noticed issues yesterday and still occurring now after trying a few things.
Issues include:
-Opening a folder/pressing multi task button, it will probably auto close in a few seconds.
-Kingdom hearts game is now stutters every few secs, music and video.
-Keyboard vibration isn't quite keeping up to button presses.
-General slowness, drag an icon to uninstall it, doesn't direct to the home screen. Even if it did and you dragged it to uninstall, it didn't on one occasion.
-Playing a video on the Youtube app will eventually cause the video to stop/pause every few seconds
I tried clearing system cache, turning off/on, restarting, using smart manager to clear app caches. None of these have seemingly fixed the issues.
Any suggestions would be welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I think it is related to latest oculus update. try deleting this app if you have it.
Try to factory reset your phone, but if that doesn't help then I would suggest taking it to the repair shop.

Very good point, I did notice that update yesterday, I'll have to try it later when I get the chance, surprised it can mess with the phone despite not being in VR mode though... Thanks for the suggestion!
As for factory reseting, I'd like that to be the last thing to try, as 1. It's gonna be a pain to restore everything back, and 2. I have my bus ticket on my phone using an app, and I think I may lose it if I do this...

It's because the app is stuck in an install loop, the update never completes
Oculus Rooms is the culprit, kill it until they fix it
No factory reset necessary. Install Package Disabler Pro, disable the following:
- All bloatware (via menu option)
- Facebook App Manager
- Facebook App Installer
- Oculus Home
Reboot, wait 5 minutes, and see how Kingdom Hearts is doing at that point.
Hey guys, recently my phone is acting really weird... Whenever i install a new app from play store, when i try to open it, the app crashes.
If i uninstall it and reinstall from the play store it works just fine.
Any ideas about what could be the issue?

Try clearing play store cache, if it still does it, boot to recovery and clear caches from there

Just to update, I uninstalled all Oculus related stuff and it's all fine again. Thanks a lot!
Only problem will be when I want to use Gear VR again, I presume it will all be installed again, though at this point I don't use it regularly really, so I can leave it for a while.

Just a quick update
When i did that it worked that day. Now i installed a new app and the craching app issue is back :/
I'll try to clear android cache from TWRP and see what happens
So it worked for one app (the one i tried after clearing the cache). Opened the app and no crashing. Later this week i installed a new app and same problem, so i booted to recovery and cleared cache from there. Installed a new app (google weather i think) and the app crashed... Any other thoughts on that subject?

Phone not installing

Hi guys.
Strange issue with phone.
A few days ago I suddenly could not install apps for the playstore, oculus store and Amazon store.
It would download till 100 % and then nothing. After waiting 10-30 minutes then suddenly the installation begins.
Also when I press the check for update button nothing happens for 5 minutes.
Also if I downloaded something and I would select it in the notification bar nothing happens.
Then a few days there was an update (latest security patch) and all worked perfect.
Now suddenly the exact same problem is there. Rebooting doesn't help.
Any idea where I should search?
It seems there is some process busy doing something else.
Phone is very responsive besides the the problems.
Also when rebooting the same apps are in memory as before reboot. Not sure if that is wanted behavior or a bug but it seems like not a full reboot.

Also when entering recovery the phone wants to download an update. That isn't working and an yellow Android sign is shown. After that I can continue to the recovery.

I am close to a factory reset but I really do not want that.

Question SEE ultra randomly restarting

Hey Guys, as the title says my S22 Ultra is restarting randomly. It seems to be worse in the mornings, but stops in the afternoon and evening. I have updated to latest OS version, have updated all of my apps.
I tried running in Safemode for a couple of hours without it restarting so I don't think its hardware.
I am not doing anything on it out of the ordinary when it happens, browsing Instagram or using it with android auto in my car and it just turns off and back on. My storage is not full 10gb available, also it feels warm around the camera, top half of the phone. Its always done that, I think they just run hot.
It is turning off and then back to the Samsung logo and back on within 45 seconds which leads me to believe its not a full crash, maybe an os crash?
Any ideas on what I can do? I think my next step is a factory reset.
Model: SM-S908B/DS One Ui 4.1 Current os: S908BXXU2AVF1 / S908BXXM2AVF1
You can clear cache in recovery mode and see if fix before you factory reset.

That's a tough one then. What about the button next to the menu button on device care? Does it say anything about a restart history there?
if it doesn't restart in safe mode, one of your 3rd party apps is causing the issue.
submit an error report and get feedback when it restarts again
