[Q] Play store error RPC:S-7:AEC-0

I got my OnePlus one yesterday and all was good, installed a few apps from the playstore.
Then I updated play services and some firmware updates and get a 'RPC:S-7:AEC-0' error when I tried to install/update apps.
I've tried all the usual fixes, clearing data, removing accounts and rebooting and even a factory reset.
Still can't download any apps
Any ideas?

Same here! On my galaxy tab tab 10.1 and my galaxy S4.. Can not update or install apps anymore!

I got a notification saying my Play store services was out of date. Since you have a Galaxy Tab it probably isn't the firmware updates, did you get the same thing?

Same error on all my devices (Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S III, Onda V975m). I think, it's server bug

I'm chatting with a guy from Play customer services. When I told him I had a OnePlus One he asked me if that was an Android phone

Same issue here on my Note 3 and Nexus 7 (and OnePlus). Get ready because it may be a while. Took over two months when it happened to me back in January of this year. Nothing works. Just something from Google's server side. Don't even waste your time taking steps to try and correct it, has to come from their end. Hopefully it's faster than two months this time.

They never explained it to me. Just one day it started working about a week after I filed a BBB complaint. All they said when it started happening was something with their servers on certain Google accounts.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem since yesterday on my Note 3 and Nexus 7, I have tried everything new firmware, delete cache and data from play store and services framework, sign out and sign in and several other things but nothing seems to work. I hope they fix it soon

Nothing will work. You can try everything you can think of, but the fix is going to have to come from Google server side. All you're going to do is get frustrated. I can't tell you how many times I waned to throw my phone out the window when this happened to me earlier this year. We'll just have to wait and try and keep calm, lol.

I have this same issue with my Nexus 5, Nexus 7, and the web store. My account is effectively cut off from the Android ecosystem at this point. This freaking sucks.

Eescalation ticket - Error rpc.s-7.aec-0
I have the same problem...
I've contacted Google here in the Netherlands and they made an escalation ticket.
They will give a response within 48 hours. As soon as I hear something from Google I will post it...

That's all we can do is contact them and let them know. Believe me, it is no fun and I feel for anyone who goes through this.
I contacted them last night.

Alternatively, open your Play Store, press menu, then select "help". There will be a "contact us" option in the top right. (For US users anyhow. Not sure for other regions) You can request to have them call you.

I have a ticket raised as well. The customer service rep asked me to send some screen shots of the issue, we'll see what happens.

Same here on all my devices.
It sucks; I reset and install an fresh rom ... I have no app now .... Grrrr

I have this on my GNote 2 (Verizon) as of last night; never heard of it before and the dearth of information on the internet indicates it is a pretty obscure problem. I have my phone backed up via TiBu, so I am not too fraught. Support had me factory reset the phone, no dice -- even other accounts can't instal anything.
Left with a phone with no apps, I activated an old iPhone 4s that was one of my kids before the last round of hand me downs. Surprisingly not awful, but the screen is a postage stamp. Boy, do I miss 4G.

OK Google detection

Just factory reset my phone to fix an issue with encryption and for some reason I have no option for OK Google detection from any screen. Option just isn't there. I've disabled a voice but no luck.
Anyone else seeing this?

Same thing happened to me, and some other people over in the galaxys6 reddit sub. I wonder if it has something to do with trusted voices because I now see that in the smart lock settings. Clicking it brings you to google nows OK Google section.

Mine updated a couple days ago(staged rollouts) and I did have the ability before that, hopefully they fix it soon.

Uninstall the update and see if that fixes it.

I just checked and mine is gone as well.

Didn't work, option is still missing.

Quick research on the play store shows several people with S6/Edge phones complaining about hotword detection option missing.
And I just checked mine, its missing for me too.

So strange.... had it visible and working on both my new phones this morning, and now GONE - nothing but the one option to launch it from the Google Now screen, all other options done disappeared - wtf mate

Yay I've started something! One of those people on play store with s6 was me

You know what's wild, I've had the always on feature missing from my Nexus 9 for a long time, like months.. G Now just updated this morning, and now suddenly it's working again (???)

Do you guys have the correct language set?

I do. My voice features disappeared as well

Have the same issue. 'Anywhere' hot word detection disappeared yesterday. I also think it must have been the update I ran. Uninstalling the Google now update had no effect though. Also tried setting the language to English US, no effect. Next thing I was going to try was factory reset, but sounds like this don't work either?
Installed Google launcher for the time being. Atleast I can use 'okay Google' from all my home screens until this is resolved.

I got the same problem on my older phone
I fixed it by getting a new phone lol

Can confirm the any screen options are missing on my S6 too, had it before the update a day or 2 ago.

I'm wondering if to start a thread on Google product forums and report as a bug. If enough people post it tends to get escalated to google

Same thing happened with the Moto X.
There is a config flag that lists the 'blacklist' phone models. There used to be an app to force the Google app into debug/dogfood mode so that you could change it - but I haven't seen any way to do that w/ the newest versions. My guess is that Samsung chose to disable listen everywhere to try to force people into using s-voice.

It's just temporary. In a couple of months it'll be "Samsung's abandoned the Gear S2 - no updates since February."
This is my third Gear. Samsung gets the os and s/w stable and then leaves it there. That includes Samsung provided apps that run on the watch. It's rare that third parties update their apps too. When the Gear S3 comes out it'll have features the Gear S2 doesn't and that won't be pushed down. That's just the way it is. If people don't like that approach they shouldn't buy a Gear. *****ing to fellow owners who can't change that via this forum is just futile.

Just upgraded my Classic. Nice that they added a notification when the watch is disconnected but I like the functionality of Brrr (under Utilities in the app store, be sure you add the widget to your list otherwise it won't work) better: the vibration is stronger and there is a vibration when the watch reconnects as well.
Everything else is great, the unread notification colored dot is especially welcome.

Just got the update here in TN for my Gear S2 Classic!

Display Timeout
I just got the update in KS for Sport edition - went through and set watch to 5 minute display timeout. Turned watch off and back on to reboot and it still only stays on for 7 seconds when I bring it up to look at. Frustrating!!
Update - if I press the home/back button while bringing up to look at, it will stay on. HOWEVER, as soon as I rest my arm, the display goes off. Not at all what I was hoping for. I want it to stay on for 5 minutes even if I look away no matter what!!

How do I check for the update? I have a S2 3G with a nexus 6. Is it just in the gear manager?
---edit---
ignore or delete this post, I found it.

Anyone getting a hoover over remote control looking app on their phones since the update? I updated this am and this app keeps popping up on restart. Sorry no way to send pictures right nowl.

It's probably peel smart remote. Open up the app then go into setting and turn off the notification or whatever it's called.

I am finding that the little dot that shows that there is an unacknowledged alert is only working for some notifications. For instance, it is not working for Textra or Business Calendar. Anybody else seeing this behavior?
Fred

Another finding - I have Display Timeout set to 5 minutes, Gestures turned OFF and Always on set to ON. What I am finding is that if I move the watch to look at it (gesture), it comes on and will stay on for 5 minutes then turn off. Although completely bass akwards of what I would have thought, it is doing close to what I want. I am open to hearing what others are seeing. Thanks.
Update: This was noticed, while NOT on my wrist, had it sitting on a desk and would see it go off after 5 minutes but could get it going again by shaking. On my wrist, it is hard to tell, as I'm moving around to much.

Google Assistant
For those who want google assistant.
Here is an easy way to get it if you are rooted.
Using root explorer or any other text editor
add the following line to your "build.prop"
file which is located in root system/ and
add the following:
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Be sure to SAVE the updated build.prop fille
after adding that line.
After that go to the play store and make sure that you have
the latest update of the google app and then reboot your
phone...
That's all there is to it.
Good luck, have a great day!

Is it the same assistant as in Google Allo?

Not yet... I read that it may take a week or two for it to roll out to everyone, but I may call Google soon (since I doubt I'll get a reply with email, and you can't really chat with them via text.) And ask them what's up and if there's anything I can do to get it now.

[Under Development] Remap Bixby button even after the Samsung patch.

UPDATE: The Alpha version of the App is now available on this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/app-bixbye-fast-bixby-button-remapper-t3594343
Hi Everyone! A developer here!
Congratulations on your S8/S8+.
As you might have heard already, Samsung is releasing an update to block existing ways to remap the Bixby button. Sooner or later all device will be patched. I might have a little tricky way to remap the Bixby button irrespective of the Samsung's update. It would be great if anybody has the time to volunteer to help me test this new App. I would like to essentially connect on some IM platform like Skype so that I can send bleeding edge builds to finalize the integration.
Those who are interested please PM me.

I would be willing to pay up to $5.00 for a Bixby app that while using all instances of Bixby could be disabled. I might just be anal but all these Bixby remap apps when you press the Bixby button, Bixby comes up for a second and that's 1 second too much for me.

Forget the old method. It won't work anymore.
A possible future root method is deleting Bixby apps by editing /system partition (or backing them for quick restore anytime) and placing a dummy app in its place. That dummy app can either do nothing, or be actual remapper. That would achieve the pre-update behavior, and open for even more hacking.

Thanks for the tip. This is still the old post-update method, but perfected very well, Bixby shows for fraction of second. My hat off to the developer. Still fraction of a second is a fraction of a second. A root method would not even have that.
Also dev may need to find way to defeat lockscreen since BixBye activating on lockscreen doesn't work well.

I'm posting this to all of the Bixby remappers
These are the packages you can disable and still run this app. At minimum it needs Bixby and Hello Bixby enabled.

@ggrant3876, You would be glad to know that I just released a major update, BixBye is now the only App to perform actions without launching Bixby itself (invisible to your slow, naked eyes!)
You better be ready to pay up! .... just kidding Enjoy the App!

Hello Jagan,
I hold to my promise. You're getting there!
DISCLAIMER: The behavior below is on S8+ using stock firmware without the April patch that disables the remapping and required the new method.
New 2.0 is way faster but Hello Bixby still shows and stays there most of the times when the action is not Launch App.
But if the action is Launch App - I tried with Camera - the new app launches so fast that Hello Bixby has no chance to pop up. Weird, BixBye to Camera doesn't work. But Launch App > Camera works.
The problem with Hello Bixby remaining is that second press of Bixby button does nothing.
Also BixBye > Recents will auto-open the first app in Recents, not remain on Recents.

Once I receive my S8 on Wednesday this week, I will be attempting this method. I'll write a quick dummy app to see if I can simulate being the Bixby app, and if so, things will be smooth sailing from there.
