I have recently ( within the last 2 months) aquired a Google Pixel. Having been a Nexus fanatic, I switched to OnePlus, when they killed the line. I broke my 3t and purchased a Pixel for a little over $200. Naturally I started flashing. I flashed DP2 and ever since I flashed back to 8.1 (both stock and ROMs) my Play Store has have the weiredest issue. All of my purchases are gone unless when I first go thru setup, if they are re-sorted via the cloud, they are fine. Naturally, not all of them, but whichever ones I had on phone at the time of backup. Anywho... That's not all.. Everytime I click on the "Library" tab the app list constantly refreshes. I've tried different gapps, ROMs, stocks. I haven't reverted all the way back to Android N nor have I flashed DP2 again. Ive cleared data, caches, deleted the play store and replaced it with one from app mirror. I can access it via chrome but when I try to Download a paid app it gives me an error msg. I am hoping someone/anyone heard of this or experienced it and knows a fix. Thank you in advance.

I have a Nexus 5 that's rooted and has cm 11 on it. It was originally through Sprint but I put it on Ting. Now it's used as a wifi device only. I no longer use it since this is the 3rd N5 I have had that the screen ended up cracking. So I gave it to my son to use. It was working fine up until a couple days ago. He said he could not download anything from the playstore. So I start messing with and he was right the play store kept reloading and then saying error. Cleared cache and data and tried again. Still same thing. So I updated play services.. same thing. Tried a different version play store... same thing. Next I did a factory reset. And now it won't let me add my Google account or create a new one. The N5 when this started was running cm 11 stable build. After the factory reset I flashed a nightly build of cm 11 (12/6/14) and it's still doing the same thing.
When I try to add a Google account it says this....
****[Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care.]****
Can anyone help me? We can still download apps from other sources outside the play store but it's a huge pain in the butt. My family and I use Google apps a lot to stay connected and this is just not cool.
Any ideas? Tried searching the forums and googling it but not getting anything helpful.

So here is what I'm dealing with. A couple of weeks ago apps on my phone kept crashing. I was seeing a constant "Google Play Services has stopped" message and I was completely unable to use my phone. I ended up saying screw it and I did a factory reset.
The problem was still happening after a reset so I figured I should do a full wipe (Dalvik, cache, system, data) and reinstall the ROM (Cyan 11). Unfortunately that still didn't fix the problem.
Since then I've tried everything. I've ran "Fix Permissions" which seemed to work for about a day and then it started again. Sometimes rebooting the phone fixes the issue for a day but it always comes back. It's not always Google Play Services. It seems to be any random app on my phone that starts to constantly crash. Sometimes this happens from the phone's home screen, other times when I go into the app (gmail seems to be a problem more often than not). The phone was also just randomly rebooting, sometimes a few times a day and sometimes when trying to update apps I'll get various errors (package not signed, error 960, etc).
I finally decided that Cyanogenmod might be the problem. I've replaced my recovery (was CWM) but now I have TWRP. I downloaded Paranoid's latest ROM for the S3, did a factory reset, wiped Dalvik, system, data and cache. I also told TWRP to fix the file system in hopes that it would help and then I told it to Fix Permission.
Once I installed the ROM and the Google Apps, phone boots, I sign in....apps start crashing. I'm so lost. I don't know what else to do. Why would a phone that is freshly wiped have problems with apps crashing. This was happen with both Cyanogenmod and Paranoid. I'm running the same version/download of Cyanogen on my gf's S3 and it's been fine. The phone has been rooted since I got it almost 2 years ago and running Cyanogen this whole time. I only switched to Paranoid in hopes it would fix this problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on something I should try? Right now my phone is a pain to use, I'm constantly clearing crash pop ups and then just today it suddenly lost my google account and all my data was gone. No contacts, gmail empty, etc.
Silly but serious question, is play services installed? I've seen several people try to install Google Apps without play services installed and it will give this error without it being installed. I can't produce a screen shot for you as I'm not on a locked bootloader

Well, although I've never specifically installed Google Play Services, it should be part of the Google Apps zip file I'm flashing along with the ROM. This is happening with 2 different ROMs with their respective Google Play App zip files.
I also just checked and it is listed in Apps>All.

Alright, I've seen this issue on several different posts. Just a suggestion, it's worth a try at this point.
Try removing play services from the system file, make a backup first. Reboot and then reinstall the backup you made, it should push it back into data/app

Certainly can't hurt. I'll give it a shot this evening and see if it helps.

By chance did you get a moment to try this?
From my CM11 S3
I didn't. I don't know why but the phone seems to be working correctly now. I don't understand why. I didn't do anything but suddenly things aren't crashing. It's been stable for 24 hours now. I didn't do anything so I don't know why but I'm just holding off until I see a crash. Still confused but glad it's working (except my GPS).
I'm honestly afraid to reboot it now. It hasn't worked this well in weeks. Normally I'll open gmail and get a crash 99% of the time. I reboot and it works for a bit but then starts crashing again. Same thing with other apps. Maybe it heard me talking about wanting to throw it out a window and it's got scared. =)

As long as it works that's all that matters. That is odd that all of the sudden it started just working fine

Yeah, just like how it 'broke'. It was working one minute and then suddenly throwing crashing all over. This phone is possessed. At least I can upgrade in April. If I see the problem return, I'll try the above suggestion and report back.

I know that feeling, I've soft bricked mine more than once. Thankfully I just recently ditched VZW so I'm not locked down to there phones anymore. I kept my S3 and took it with me

Hello,
Since about a couple of weeks ago, the Play Store started getting really slow. Updates get stuck at "download pending", and sometimes they do download. Other app downloads get stuck at 100% downloaded for a long time before installing. I can leave my phone on updating all night and in the morning it is still not done. This happens both on LTE and on Wi-Fi, and I do have very fast Wi-Fi. I am on the OxygenOS Open Beta 10. I did not do any changes to my phone when this started happening.
I have tried all of the following to fix the problem, but it doesn't help:
Rebooting the phone
Uninstalling Play Store updates
Deleting and adding Google Account
Clearing cache
I tried wiping the phone and using OxygenOS 9.0.2 - same problem.
I have clean-wiped the phone, deleting even internal storage, and flashed OxygenOS clean stock, and still it does this. (it also has new problems, like Magisk doesn't offer root authorization anymore even though it installed and working according to Magisk Manager...)
The only way I could get the Play Store to work properly was to use a custom ROM, HAVOC 2, but that ROM has problems with the front camera in some apps.
It almost seems like the Play Store detects OOS and decides to act funky. Has anyone faced this problem, or resolved it? Should I contact Google and see if the problem is their Play Store?
I almost feel like, since I have tried with clean wiping and using stock ROMs, and things that weren't broken before just started breaking for no reason, that there is a problem with the hardware itself. It makes no sense that the problems carry over into stock ROM when I have wiped everything several times.
Uninstall or disable the google app.
That fixed it for me.
Let me know if that works.
I've run into this for quite some time now, on both my Note 9, and my Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
All the things I find on resolving this suggest killing play store, deleting cache, deleting data etc. But even after that, it does not work well.
Seems it is a very important part of Android's eco-system, and yet very problematic.
Can anyone shed some light and/or permanent fix to this?
I'm a bit surprised there is no input on this.
I just needed to ininstall/reinstall an app. It was taking forever waiting on download. I deleted data and cache, and rebooted.
App ininstalled. The reinstall downloaded to 99%, and is not just sitting there.
I have to say it is VERY frustrating. I'm about ready to ditch Android. But that would be even more painful.
Did you use some VPN app when you downloaded apps with Google Play?
No. Although I do have NordVPN installed. But I have found that many sites are problematic to get to with it, both in the phone and PC. So I've stopped enabling it but haven't uninstalled it.
I'm guessing you think the VPN could be responsible.
I'll uninstall it and see if it changes anything.
Uninstalled, and rebooted. Trying to do update on some apps and it appears to have not helped.
Another interesting thing that happens at the same time that starts with the Google play store, is that I have a to-do app called DTG GTD. It gets to where the reminders coming from it, which flow through Light Flow, come in hours late. I had decided on my Note 9 that it was a problem with the phone. That's why I decided to get another new one, this Huawei mate 20 pro.
Now I just really don't know what to think. This starts about a month after I have either reflashed a phone or in this case bought a new one. I had factory reset and reloaded the Note 9 three times before I moved to this new phone.
I do have quite a few apps on my phone. Maybe it has to do with the mix of apps. Although, I wouldn't think it would take a month for it to start acting up.
Hi,
I recently updated my 7PRO to Oxygen OS 10, and after encountering problems with Android Auto, I downloaded the local update file and switched back to 9.
Ever since. it's been impossible to download files from Google Play. I went to the local OP dealer, and they installed factory firmware (9) but that didn't help.
I then installed 10 back again, hoping that it'll do the trick, but no luck there also.
Other than issues with Google Play I also experience (very) late notifications in some apps (Whatsapp, SMS and email seem to work fine).
I read somewhere that APKPure sometimes causes Play store issues, but I didn't have it installed at the time. However, after reading about it I installed it, and this is now the only way I can download apps (other than on Chrome).
Things I tried:
1. Deleting cache of Play.
2. Factory settings.
3. Deleting cache using recovery mode.
4. Switching back to Oxygen and Android 9.
5. Changing DNS.
Other than that, the phone seems to be as snappy as ever. I'm absolutely clueless... any ideas?
Thanks
