Play Store won't auto-update apps or install apps from web (SM-G900V / RR 5.8.5) - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, I'm having a problem with the Play Store on my Verizon Galaxy S5 running Ressurection Remix 5.8.5 (official) and Open GApps nano. When I use the Play Store app on my phone I can install apps with no problem. However, the apps will not auto-update, even though I have auto-update enabled. I also cannot install apps through the Play Store's web interface. The device shows up with a "Last Used" date of "null" (screenshot), and when I click "Install" the app never actually installs to my phone, despite appearing in "My Library".
I'm not sure exactly when this started happening, but it might have been when I installed a modded microG to use iYTBP as explained in this thread. However, I have uninstalled microG and re-flashed Ressurection Remix since then.
So far I have done the following to try and resolve this problem:
Tested Google Cloud Messaging push notifications using com.firstrowria.pushnotificationtester (they work properly).
Disabled and re-enabled syncing for all the services on my Google account (App Data, Calendar, Contacts, Gmail, Google Fit data, People details).
Removed my Google account from Settings | Accounts, and re-added it.
Cleared data + cache for the following apps: Play Store, Google Play services, Google Services Framework, Google Account Manager, Google Backup Transport.
Tried running without a SIM card.
Performed a factory reset.
Wiped system, data, and cache/Dalvik partitions, and re-flashed the latest official Ressurection Remix.
Registered my Google Services Framework Android ID at https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/.
The only thing I haven't been able to test yet is a totally new SIM card. I'm kind of running out of ideas and starting to worry that somehow my device data may be corrupt on Google's servers. Can anyone offer advice for additional troubleshooting, or point out something I may be missing?
Thank you for your kind consideration!

Just a quick bump. I'd sure like to get this fixed!

[Q] Google Play - how to link apps?

I had to change the user on the phone without resetting it.
So I added another google account and ended up with 2 accounts. Then removed the old account. Some of the apps got uninstalled and some of the data in other apps dissapeared, which is ok.
Phone works fine. Everything functions but there's one problem.
If I open "installed apps" in GooglePlay I get nothing. No apps installed. I can install a new app and it'll show up there. but all the basic stuff is gone. So Maps, Gmail, Chrome etc are not showing up there. So obviously they won't get updated ever. I understand that I can uninstall and reinstall them and they'll appear, but
Is there a way to link all the existing apps on the phone to the Play Store so they can get updates?
The phone is rooted.

Clear Play store / services : data/cache/dalvik and you shoule be fine again.
I forgot to mention - I tried to clear data on google play services, play store and google services framework yesterday.
After a reboot opened playStore and it asked to accept the terms and still didn't show anything.

Google account auto sync does not work

Hi all,
I have Huawei Honor 6 plus PE-TL10 from China (not rooted, stock recovery, ROM ends with B150).
I have installed Google Play Store from APK (just move APK to phone and install it as usual) and added my google account through dialog when you opening Google Play Store first time.
Ok. My google account was added, then I have to add GoogleContactsSync and GoogleCalendarSync to sync my contacts and calendar
In my settings I can see all of my google things to synchronization, please see attachments.
I have auto sync option turn on (corporate account is working properly).
I tried to readd google account, clear cache of Gmail application, Google Services Framework, Google Play Store and restart.
I tried clear cache partition from recovery (stock recovery).
BUT, I can't get gmail auto sync - I have to click button "Sync now" and then I get new mails and notification, etc. But it is not done automatically.
Any ideas, how to fix this?
Should I root the phone and flash Gapps throught recovery?
Is here somebody who has this working on Honor 6+ without rooting?
The weird thing is, that I am not able to install Google apps as it is on the video on youtube when you search "How to Install Google Play Store to Huaweir Honor 6 Plus" - sorry, can't add external links yet, when I try to search for "google" in Huawei AppCenter I can't see for example "Google Play Services" in the result list.
Thanks,
Jakub

autosync under shortcuts (slide down status bar)
Enabled from the beginning of time Thanks for the advice, but this is not solution. As I wrote e.g. company mail works fine in the default email application with auto sync.
I would root and flash gapps via recocery
Install 2 app:

** = tt
as in my first post ... installed Thanks for your reply, but also without success.
I will have to flash it via recovery ... I am just waiting for the code to unlock my bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60155167&postcount=187
I solved it by doing factory reset and install GoogleCalendarSync.apk and GoogleContactsSync.apk before installing Gmail app, now all auto sync options works fine.

[Q] Lenovo K3 Note - Stock ROM - Contacts won't sync with Google

Hello dear xda-developers!
I just received my Lenovo K3 Note and Flashed it back to the Stock Rom (VIBEUI_V2.5_1529_5_1063.1_ST_K50-TS after an Update) and installed Google Play store. After that I proceeded to install all the Google services and Apps I need.
Everything is working just fine except for the Contacts. When I open Contacts and go to the Account Settings, there is no Google Account. I cannot add a Google Account either, it only offers me WhatsApp.
If I go to Settings --> Accounts --> Google and select my Google Account, then I have the following Sync Options:
App Data, Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Google Fit data, People details
... but no Contacts
I've tried installing 3rd party Contact Apps and also deleting the app-data and cache of the "Contacts Manager" and "Contacts Storage" Apps, but all to no avail. VIBEUI just doesn't even give me the option of getting my Google Contacts.
Any Ideas? I'm really happy with the phone so far, but this needs to work :/
Thanks in advance for any help, but I really don't need workarounds, I know there are tons of ways to export/import contacts, but I use my Google Contacts on multiple devices and I need a way to keep them synced the way Google intended
Cheers!
Same problem here! Did you find any solution?
Mine works just fine, but I'm using Vibeui 2.8 1542. Please try another version of Google apps package.

Can't update apps or download apps with Google Play Store while ROAMING!!!!

Dear Forum,
Since the Android 7 (Nougat) update I can not longer perform updates/downloads with Play Store when I'm ROAMING. For the rest everything works well. I have a Galaxy S7 with T-Mobile Netherlands sim only Go Unlimited NL + EU (internet out of one bundle). When i'm in my home country i have no problems.
Have already tried a lot including emptying the caches Google Play Store, Download Manager, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Dalvik cache emptied and Google Account removed and added again.
Regards,
Michel

May be a third party app interruption such as Freedom.
Do you have freedom installed? or is your device rooted?
If so, you could download the app called total commander and navigate to /file system root/system/etc/hosts and edit the host file and delete everything then add "127.0.0.1 localhost"
Or you mentioned you emptied caches and removed google account.
Did you force stop the app, clear cache and data then uninstall google play store updates and remove google account THEN reboot phone and open google app and see if it works?
If all fails simply do a reset.

Google contacts sync broken

Hi, all. I've been having problems getting my Google contacts to sync on my Mix 3 running stock China rom. As you know, Google framework comes preinstalled and I've got pretty much every other Google service (mail, keep, play store) installed and working. I wasn't able to use the ubiquitous "Google installer apk" that most people point to because it first tries to install the framework but fails as it is already installed, and refuses to move on to the next steps. However, even though every other service works, my contacts refuse to sync. There are lots of guides to solve this very common problem with miui, but none of them worked for me. I've tried changing permissions for the contacts app, battery settings, installing a Google contacts sync adapter app, reinstalling the contacts app, and nothing's worked. Whenever I attempt to refresh the Google contacts app I get the message: "can't finish sync. Some contacts may not show up on all of your devices". Has anybody faced this problem?
I faced this problem too, after following the guide on Miui. I tried different permission settings and couldn't get it to sync.
Eventually the contacts app was updated though the Google play store, and it started syncing correctly. Make sure you have the latest contacts apk installed.

Thanks for your reply. I'll report back after an update occurs.
I think this is related to how Google Play Services is on the phone, I created a lite Google package for the Nubia Z17 and people had similar complaints about contacts sync not working... it was fixed by flashing the stock opengapps but we can't do that without TWRP here.
Download this Google Contacts Sync 9 (Android 6.0+) - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-contacts-sync-9-android-apk-download/
Install and grant it permissions. Reboot phone and google contacts will start syncing without issues.
Thanks JJay666, it works for my mix3 china stock rom.
