Question Play store crashing when updating apps, anybody else got this? - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Hi,
From yesterday when I goto manage apps and device in the app store, go into the app update bit and start any updates Google play crashes.
It still does the updates though.
I've tried updating Google play (it's the latest version). I've cleared cache and data, rebooted and it still continues to do this.
I've never seen this before in years of Android use. Any idea?

Have this going on as well. Wiped storages and seemed OK for a couple minutes, then started doing it again. Looks like this is potentially becoming an issue.

Seems to be fixed now with me not doing anything. I guess some server issue......

Google Play Services has stopped - Unable to fix

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

[Q] Play Store closes when updating apps.

Hello people!
Today i tried to update some apps, which always went well for me, but somehow Play Store started crashing when starting the update. This happens when updating multiple apps, but also when i update single apps. Normal installs don't show any problems though.
Any idea what's been causing this behavior? I haven't changed anything serious with my phone (z1) for months, just like i am on the newest version of play store.
I've already tried clearing caches, through twrp and through the normal way.
Thanks for answering!

Unable to fix "Google play services has stopped"

Recently I have started getting an error saying Google Play Services has stopped, I have tried clearing the cache of both play services and the play store with no luck.
I have also tried clearing data, rolling back to the previous version & even as a last resort I did factory reset. Nothing seems to be working, now I'm thinking it may be related to another app?
Model: 6+ PE-TL10
Build PE-TL10V100R001C900B141
Play services: 7.5.71(1955121-038)
Play Store:5.5.1.2
Anyone else had this problem? or have any other possible solutions? it's happening every few mins now

Try deleting hosts file from system/etc and fixing it with ad away after that.

thanks for the reply. just had a look at that file. Need root to delete though, maybe thats something to look at next..
Hey,
Did you manage to get this fixed? I've got the same versions as you and I'm having the same issue, its gradually getting worse. Message has gone from being occasional to once every few seconds. It's driving me nuts. :silly:
I've tried the normal tips suggested for other phones (wipe cache, un-install updates, shout at it).
Currently looking at one of the update files from needrom incase its an issue with 4.4.2. Failing that will try rooting and failing that i guess its a factory reset and fingers crossed unless anyone has a brain wave.
I assumed it was Play Services itself, which you can't delete to roll back (and test) but it seems to be an app, which I'd uninstall if I knew which one.
I saw someone else with a 6+ at an event recently who had the exact same version of Google Play services and he's not had the problem once. I get it all the time.
Honor is aware of it, although it's been a few weeks now.
I just went thru same problem, different device, but i went thru two hours of hell, until i finally figured it out..... Similarly i went thru same problem last week on my rooted Lenovo ideapad... And today i couldn't remember what the f¥¢k i did to fix it! Finally, with the error "unfortunately the process gapps has stopped" every two seconds and constant notification about Google play service needing update.... But damn device freezing cause button needs hit ok.... Finally i went and managed to between error message ; get into settings - application mgr - all - Google play services.... Clear cache data manage data force stop.... Them Playstore wipe cache +data, uninstall update....
Then back to main settings page, accounts - Google - uninstall all accts. Reboot....
Then i tried (soon as booted) to go play but it was stuck on weird error - no service (?? Was on wifi - wtf??) so Google search and said i need update and that took me to Google account set up... Reinstall account and you get the Google accept play messages and backup /restore checkbox.... After that all was good to go.... Yeehaw!! * Yipee!!!
Sure that there is probably a beer way to do it but i was cussing up a storm and ready to smash it into the wall! Thankfully i was patient and figured out a solution
I had the same problem twice, and i solve it by :
Uninstall the update of play service in app manager. (Clear cache mayby)
Reboot.
Let playstore reinstall the update.
That's all.
No need to delete Google acount.

I experienced same issue on my Honor 6 plus and it drove me mad. 100 times per day the same message popped up in different situations but I could not see any correlation between the appearance of the message and any specific activity on the phone. I only noticed that the message appeared more often when I used any map application like Google Maps or Nokia Here. I tried to fix it with all above mentioned solutions, deactivated most of the Play apps, cleared the app cash of play services and all GApps, cleared the system cash from stock recovery and nothing helped for more than 10 min. Finally I deactivated Google Now (via Google Settings) and suddenly the popping up of this message stopped. No single error message re-appeared since that (48 hours ago). So in my case the issue seems to be solved for now and finally I'm fully happy with the phone.

I am also getting this error since I got lollipop update on my honor 4 x and now on Android 6 on same devices.

Extremely Slow Play Store Downloads

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.

Google Play Store Issues - "Download Pending"

Researching online, I have read that this has been a common problem reported for years. After my May Security update, Google Play Store has been acting up. I haven't seen if it does it when downloading new apps, but it constantly gets stuck at "download pending" when updating existing apps. The only workaround I have found is to "clear storage" and wait like 20 minutes for it reset and find updates again. Then it works for a little while (~1 day) and then stuck again. I've also tried removing my Google account from the phone, and then reinstalling it...didn't work. Does anyone know how I can permanently fix Play Store so I don't have to clear storage every day?

I have had that issue as well as missing .01 MB and just sitting there for hours. I try to update 1 app then reboot the update another. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. This was on my oneplus5t stock rom 9.0 as soon as I installed LineageOS 16 all issues with updating cleared up. just restored back to 100% stock and issues again.
