Anyone else having this issue where the Play Store will update apps extremely slow? I've had many, many android phones and this is the first time I've had this issue with any of them (5T included).
Now, both times it has been linked to me doing something. The first time it was me detaching youtube vanced from the playstore. It caused updates to either install slowly, or not at all. I at least understood this as unhooking that tripped something in the play store....it made sense.
This second time was after installing the official twrp (coming from unofficial) and restoring a nandroid. Now the installs are happening, they're just much, much slower. Before an update would start and immediately after it was finished downloading the install would start. Now it is taking 30 seconds to a couple minutes PER APP after the download is finished for install to start. Once it says "installing" things take a normal amount of time. Since this doesn't appear to be linked to the play store in any way, now I'm completely out of reasons as to why it would be doing this.
I'm really losing my mind here. The first one I had to use the MSM tool to fix, clearing cache, uninstalling/reinstalling play store did nothing. I'd really rather not have to do this again, but I also can't have it taking half an hour to update 13 apps (normally this would be done in 5 or so minutes, I'd estimate).
I had this too. I tried various solutions but the only one that actually worked for me was deleting my google account, rebooting and the setting up my google account again.
Go to apps and try clearing data and cache for the play store and play services.
For me it's a network issue with Oneplus 6. Google play think that you are not connected to WiFi.
Try to disable Wifi and enable it again the download will instantly start.
I update to 5.1.6 and enable smart network switch. I hope it will fix the issue.
Is it just a slow network issue? My OP6 is extremely fast on LTE and WiFi.

In my case no.
Download is not starting because google play doesn't consider WiFi enabled.
Clear cache for play store

doesn't work.
Are you on wifi or lte?
Check play store setting is set to auto update not do not update.
It drove me crazy when i got the phone setup. I always set to Do Not update on all my android devices. It is Oreo things I guessed.
Unistall update for Google play. It works forum me.

Hey guys!
So I've tried Google and I think I've exhausted my resources, but has anyone experienced a problem with the Play Store not working on Wifi. The wifi connection is fine as I can browse the web, get email updates, and run apps that require a network connection, but the Plat Store just cannot connect at all. I've tried the phone without the sim card in just to make sure the other apps weren't using the 4g connection through some backdoor. However, on 4g, the play store connects just fine as does everything else. I'm running the "official" jb leak for the chinese atrix 2, ME865, rooted. Any tips on the issue?
Thanks in advance!

This is a known issue some of us saw after the ICS upgrade as well.
Try and clear all the data and cache for the play store app. This is in settings, apps, running or all apps (depends if it is running or not), click on the play store the clear all the data and cache from there.
Then reboot. When the phone comes back up, try to use the play store on WiFi. You will have to log back into your Google account in the play store and say yes to the agreement again, if it works.
Somewhat similar problem is faced by me after i fxz back to ics from cm10.1
i can get into playstore but no apps are getting downloaded only the preloader appears for every app (the loading kind of thing appears before actual download)..works on data but not wifi
have tried wiping cache of the play store and even wiped cache of the rom..
is there anything else i can do?
edit: found solution.. remove google account reboot open play store and add account again..!!
[Q] Wifi & network location unavailable after switching location off & on again
Hi there,
I found this strange but reproduceable bug on my N5's location services and was wondering if it's the same for you.
Turn off location via settings or quick settings
Turn it back on
You'll be asked to accept Google location terms
Switch to battery saving mode (only wifi & network, no GPS)
After these steps, my N5 cannot find it's location via Wifi & mobile network anymore. In Maps it might still show the blue dot but moving around it won't update. When using any other app which will try to get a fresh location it's a no go. Like Google+, try and make a post with location, no joy.
I have to reboot to get it working again.
Did you agree to those Google terms? If not that's the reason...

I agreed to those of course. If you cancel that it will turn back to device (GPS) only

Strange. Are you running stock ROM? I had no problem doing the thing you described.

Just got it 2 weeks ago, all is stock, locked and original.
Did you try any other app besides Maps? That sometimes uses last known location and shows blue icon.

You're right, mine also won't find my position without GPS. However a reboot fixes it for me.
Somewhat glad to see others having this bug too. Indeed a reboot fixes it right up so it's not a huge deal.
Under normal circumstances I would't change this setting ever, but when I just got my N5 I wanted to test the GPS only feature. After turning it back to Battery saver I noticed and started investigating what caused it.
Thanks for testing mate!

No problem. I'm glad also to be aware of it now, so that I can avoid standing somewhere I need and it won't find it
Anyone else willing to try this? The N5 from a friend of mine did not show this behavior. And another did. Weird bug.

I have the problem on my 16 GB black nexus 5 with stock Rom and no root. I tested with dalvik and art but the problem exist. I have found 3 solutions:
1- reboot phone (temporary solution)
2- stop Google Play Services (temporary solution)
3- uninstall updates of Google Play Services use with stock/no update (permanent solution)
one more thing; when I can't get a location fix with network/wireless GPS mode on Google Maps or any other application, I can see a circle on " Yandex Navigation" that shows my location.
but more interesting thing is I can see a circle that shows my location on Yandex Navigation when my GPS is completely off.
I think this problem is about Google Play Services or Google Location Services. I hope someone find a solution.

Thanks for your (rigorous :good tests.
Reboot was the one I used to fix it, didn't know about the others you found.
In a strange way glad to see it's a software bug, which means it's fixable. I guess the friend I mentioned has not updated the Play services ever, that would explain why he is not affected.
happens to me as well on a Nexus 7 (2013). I've found that battery drains faster even when in deep sleep
Me and my colleague also have this issue...
Completely wiped and factory reset to stock, same prob.
Reboot solves it until you turn location services off and on again, or go from "device only" mode to "battery saving".
A quicker way then reboot (reboot actually does the same as this step) is go to settings, apps, running, Google Services (you might have 2), there STOP the GoogleLocationService (it will stop and reload the service)
Location should work again in battery saving mode...
Thanks for that one Foggy79!
Reboot or restarting the google play services takes much longer (especially when you have to disable ADM first) then your trick of only stopping the only location service.

No problem.
I just reproduced the issue on an other colleague's N5, that makes 3 ppl here in the office, can't be coincidence.
If the GoogleLocationService could restart automatically when you turn on "Location" and agree the terms, that would be great...

It appears the issue is fixed for me.
I have Google Play services 4.3.24 so it might be fixed behind our backs.
Now when you turn the location off and on again, the GoogleLocationService is automaticly restarted also
Fixed for me as well with the new Google Play Services!
The new version now indeed restarts the LocationService again.
I'm glad Google also reads XDA (j/k)
Now if they can get GoogleLocationsManager and NlpLocationsReciever to stop running when Locations Services are turned off completely, that'd be great.

Hi guys, I just done resetting my OPO to everything stock 44S, but when I tried downloading and install back my apps, it was ridiculously slow while downloading the apps. I checked my net is performing perfectly at 20Mbps, but Playstore download apps at 50-100Kbps I was like WTF??? I tried change DNS doesn't work either, but on mobile data is super fast, just like normal just WiFi. I tried my second phone WiFi also slow like hell but watch youtube etc is smooth. Is it possible Google side problem or my ISP problem?
If everything else works fine I would guess it's a Google problem. Or the routing to your place isn't that good? Are you using a VPN?

I was thinking the same thing. I got my OPO last Friday and I've been flashing roms all weekend. I also noticed that the Play Store download speed was ridiculously slow on wifi and LTE. I have AT&T and I also flashed Ark kernel. After about 2-3 hours, no matter what rom I was on, the Play Store apps sped up. I thought my issue had something to do with me going from 11S to 11 to 12 all weekend. (I had to find what worked for me) But it seems that irrespective of the kernel, cm version, and gapps I was using, the dl speed just popped back in gear after time.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance but my only solution was time. How long have you let your phone idle?

I think idle time doesn't matter, okay.... I tried with my friend's phone, it's also same, very very slow download speed, so must be Google side...
Like what others have said. If you had another device and play store downloads was also slow. Your home isp probably bad poor routing to the servers causing it to lag.
Some other tips. Disable wifi optimization if you haven't. Toggle wifi on and off and then try a download again. Restart your modem and router.

You can test the speed with a normal dl from a fast Server, bunt i think it was a Google Problem

When using wifi, my mate 8 will remain connected but the internet does not function sometimes. The wifi works because usually im using my PC at the same time. But ive noticed it hangs on other wifi connections too. Im not quite sure whats wrong, i turned on my data speeds and it downloads 307 b/s while doing this strange stuttering. It usually causes youtube errors or some game apps that make you watch ads will result in a splash screen error message. Not quite sure whats wrong with it but its annoying having to wait about 30 seconds for it to load my webpage even if the wifi was just working fine a second ago. Any tips or help? Anyone experiencing the same thing, im on B352 AL-10 firmware.
Hey there! I am having the same issue and drives me nuts as I don't have a proper data connection at home.
I currently have the same problem. I have to restart my phone and I do that, all related apps to google play stops as well displaying a message "google play services are updating". I found a work around this issue that I downgrade "google play services" using apitode then updating the service using play store.
But is really frustrating to do that 2-3 times a day.

Now I have get this trouble that I am unable to download new apps or update existing apps via the watch version of the Play Store (both do not progress from "download pending".
I have read about different soloutions:
https://productforums.google.com/fo.../DoIB9mtIY20;context-place=forum/android-wear
I have tried everything exept factory reset. It is not even sure that factory reset will be the solution, and I am not so happy about making a factory reset (because I did that recently when I changed Phone.)
Anyone else here with the same problem?
Perhaps an there will come a android wear update soon that fix this
Are you using internet over bluetooth or using wifi?
in either case check so that google services are not blocked in your region.
and try this steps:
go to seetings/app find play store and then clear data and cache (in the watch)
turn wifi off from settings
connect the watch to your phone through bluetooth
connect your phone to a working wifi network or cellular data with good speed
now go to play store and see if its working
Thanks for the tips. I have tried that but it is not getting any better.
Have tried using internet through phone or with the watch wifi or 4G.
I do not know about google services in my region but I live in Sweden and it works fine on my phone.

After factory reset it works again!
What I've had luck with thus far
Experienced this exactly with ZTE quartz and pocophone. Download pending and nothing you can do but reset the watch.
However!!! Following an advice in this thread, on the watch (after reset) I quickly disabled automatic updates of play store (open play store on your watch, drag from the top, tap the wheel, mess around there... it's easy to find) - then manually updated everything over Bluetooth EXCEPT THE GOOGLE APP (you can update Wear OS, just not the Google app) and for a few days now everything seems to work fine with downloads from the play store.
Just that Google Assistant on the watch only responds with on-screen text, but doesn't respond vocally without the update to its watch app. And I'm afraid of updating it :-\
