Can't download apps or updates on Play Store without rebooting every day. - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having issues with the Play Store and some non-Google sites. I'm constantly noticing that Play Store gets stuck in "Downloading" when trying to update apps or install new ones and never actually starts until I completely restart the phone. Chrome also gets stuck loading pages that are non-Google sites, and I can't seem to download anything as they all get queued.
I tried clearing cache + data on play store, play services, download manager and even a factory reset. Everything works when I reboot, but after some hours it get "stuck" again, every day. Happens on wifi and 3G; no idea what's causing it.
I'm running stock Nov build with root (not systemless). Same exact apps and config on my N5 and no issues there.

Have you tried to download without root?

Sometimes if an application needs permission it will block downloads.
The way to fix it is go into the Playstore and stop the current downloads then "update all".
You will probably get a permission notification.

I'm assuming you have greenify force doze mode on? That did it to me and had to reboot often to fix it, so I finally stopped using it for now. Try disabling that then reboot and see if it happens again.

I do have that enabled actually. I'll try it out w/o the aggressive doze setting and see how it works.

Had aggressive doze turned off and downloads just got stuck again so that's not it. I'm uninstalling Greenify completely and see if that does anything.

For me it was a combo of aggressive doze force and ad block. If i disabled one of them then rebooted it seemed to work fine. Both at the same time then it would happen often. I'm not sure, but maybe there's something else triggering it for you.

I had this problem at one point. I can't remember which ROM I was on, but it appeared to be related, so I did a full wipe, flashed an updated ROM, and the problem went away.

Did you try uninstalling the update on Google Play store?

I think it was Greenify that was causing it. I uninstalled the beta version and installed the current play store version and it hasn't happened all day; logcat also looks like it has significantly less errors as well. I think something is funky with the beta version on Marshmallow.

I have been looking for a solution to this issue for so long, going so far as to factory reset my phone. Then, when I saw your comment, I realized my adblocker could be issue. Turned that off, and voila! You are my hero right now.

help me to download from goole play,it does not allow me(P10)

market downloads stuck on "starting download" and gtalk not working

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to figure this out for a couple days now. I'm running cyanogenmod 4.2.6, and whenever I try to download anything from the market, the download gets stuck at "starting download". I've tried everything, from clearing the cache of the market app and google apps; going into the terminal and doing "rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*"; even performing a full wipe and reinstalling cyanogen. Finally I just tried the regular 1.6 rom from the HTC website (I know the downloads are down, someone sent it to me). All to no effect, the market downloads still don't work, nor does google talk.
This all leads me to believe it might not be an issue with the apps, but an issue with my google account.
Anyone have any idea whatsoever as to what I could do about this?
Thanks in advance!

I have this problem too, though I don't use Google Talk so I can't comment ther.e In regards to the downloads, it seems that the Market gets clogged and you just have to wait for it to unstick sometimes. I've also had the problem where after download it just never installs, as with the recently released Google Maps. Rebooting solved that one.
Oddly enough the problem persisted for several days, then randomly went away. Nothing I did triggered anything, it just started the downloads randomly in the middle of the night.
Very strange.

[Q] Google Play Store won't update apps

When I try to update apps in the Google Play Store, it says, "Downloading" and displays the progress bars, but doesn't actually download anything.
I'm using a rooted Nexus 7 with stock ROM (no mods).
Things I have tried
I have tried clearing data and cache for the Google Play Store and Google Play Services, with and without wifi enabled.
I have tried uninstalling updates for the Google Play Store (how do I reinstall them?).
I have tried removing my Google account and adding it again.
I have tried powering down and restarting -- this causes the Play Store to download for about 5 seconds after I start back up before it stalls again.
I have verified that the wifi connection works just fine.
Other oddities
When I tried to install the recent OTA update, It didn't work (google android on his back with the message, "Error!"), but restarting the device seemed to return everything to normal again. This has happened twice now, and I don't know how to solve it.
Occasionally, the play store will start actually downloading the updates for a minute or two (enough to get several updates at once). Then is stops as suddenly as it started.
Same thing here since I moved to PURITY, then I just moved back to PA 4.0 beta still same problem.

So a couple things.
First off, do you have a custom bootloader? it seems as you don't as the Android on his back is the stock, but I just wanted to check
Have you ever tried installing an update one at a time? sometimes when I start to receive updates for apps, it just sits there indefinitely, but when I stop all updates and manually go into each app that needs updating and update, that works. I would give that a try
I think I fixed my problem.
I cleared data/cache of Google Play Store in #Settings #Apps #All
But I had to do it multiple time time before it accepted to download again.
And also at one point I formatted the sdcard but still wouldn't download so I tried again multiple times to clear data of Google Play Store.
Now it keeps updating all my apps (update all).

Play Store FC's

The Play Store app started FC'ing on my S4 about a month ago or so in various contexts. I've already tried wiping its data, uninstalling updates, then reinstalling. I'm able to reproduce the following FC, so maybe if I can solve this, I'll solve the whole problem:
While showing My Apps, if I quickly switch the device on and off, Play Store becomes unresponsive. I can press the home button and get to my home screen, but the UI otherwise is frozen for about 20 seconds until Play Store dies. At the beginning of the attached logcat, it says:
Code:
Calling a method in the system process without a qualified user: android.app.ContextImpl.sendBroadcast:1337 com.android.server.am.ActivityStack.startPausingLocked:1342 com.android.server.am.ActivityStack.finishActivityLocked:5865 com.android.server.am.ActivityStack.finishActivityLocked:5779 com.android.server.am.ActivityManagerService.handleAppCrashLocked:9428
D/15:36:29.186 CrashAnrDetector(24983)
processName: com.android.vending
D/15:36:29.186 CrashAnrDetector(24983)
broadcastEvent : com.android.vending system_app_crash
V/15:36:29.186 AlarmManager(24983)
trigger ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP or RTC_WAKEUP
Does that mean something to anyone?
The app dies 12 seconds later, at the end of the logcat, but I don't know if the stuff in the middle has any bearing after that app_crash entry. Apparently, that's the 12 seconds that my phone is locked up, though it seems longer. Any suggestions?
Have you tried uninstalling and re installing Play Store to user space, without restoring its data at all?
When I had this issue, this either worked or didn't. When it didn't I couldn't find a solution except re-flash a G-apps ZIP!

Yeah, but I just tried wiping Play Store's data, reverting to factory-installed Play Store, and rebooting, and I was still able to get it to freeze, but only 1 time in about 10 tries. After Play Store updates, I'll try it again. If this is the only context where it freezes (without actually FC'ing), then that's not nearly as bad as the error where it FC's in the background and locks up my phone for 20 seconds at random times. In that case, I have to use Android Tuner's crystallize function.

Anyone have issues where apps take FOREVER to start downloading on nougat?

This wasn't a problem until I updated the phone a while after I got it. When I go to the play store and download a new app, it shows "downloading" with the weird fragmented bar moving across the progress bar, but the download refuses to start for like 5 minutes to sometimes several hours or a day. I've turned off every power and data saving mode I could find and it still does this. Factory reset, force stop, clear cache, clear data on all google play related apps (yes, including the system apps), and it WON'T STOP DOING IT.
Haven't had this issue on my Z3Z but I have had this issue on my Nexus 7 tablet once or twice. It randomly resolved itself I don't remember how. You can try deleting your google account, uninstalling all the play store and google play updates and reinstalling them. That may help.
Good luck.
I have this issue too and have been unable to resolve it.
I have the same issue. I'm to the point where I simply leave them be and eventually they download and updates. It sometimes works if I restart the download, reboot the phone, switch from wifi to data to wifi again, things like that.
This might be overkill, but ever since I factory reset the phone I no longer have this issue

Try clearing the cache of the google play store app in settings, if not then all its data. Also, if you just upgraded to Nougat it would be wise to make a factory reset (in recovery mode) to clean up the residual Marshmallow files, if you don't feel comfortable with that, then at least clear your device's cache and Dalvik (in recovery mode)

Playstore not downloading anything.

Hey Guys!
First post. Just bought Oneplus 6T 8/128 yesterday. Such a awesome device but the problem I'm facing is with Playstore. Suddenly it's not downloading anything over Wifi/4G data connection. I tried clearing the data for Playstore/Play Services. Restarted the phone even tried battery saving. None of this works. Though it works fine sometimes but most of the time it doesn't download.

You can't download any new app? I have noticed that in over one week, not one app has been updated. Every time i check, no updates which I find weird.
Not sure if we have the exact same thing, but for the last few days I also cannot download or update anything. The apps just sit in "Download Pending". Usually i have temporarily fixed it by ending the play store, wiping the storage and cache, rebooting, then letting everything reload in the play store and it will work again for a few days. Happens to me on Data/Wifi/VPN.

Yes happening same to me as well. Though it gets fixed automatically for some time but again I have the issue.
I just got a 6t and for some reason it will connect up to 5Ghz wifi but will not get any data. I can connect up to 2.4Ghz all day long and get on the internet, update everything but if i have wifi/data on connected to 5Ghz wifi - zilch - it's like it has no dns or something. I can see the connection, it gets an ip from the router but...bloop. I tried all the troubleshooting steps. (I also have a OP 6 on same os version and it has zero issues).
It sounds like a Google play services issue. I had a similar problem with my previous device and even when I got my 6tvit persisted. Had to email Google and they updated my play services info. It's sticks with you, whatever it is.
Actually now that I reread your post I think this is exactly the same issue I had.
I had the same issue when I flashed OOS international rom to my 6T T-mobile version. It was solved by relockiing the bootloader.... FYI.
