Navigate to Settings > Apps, and enable the option which lets you see all apps.
Then, you scroll down the alphabetical list to Google Services Framework, open it up and tap Clear Data and then Force Stop.
Then go back and check for an update by going to Settings > About > System Update.
It took me 3 or 4 tries to get it to show, but it works!

Thats actually a BAD idea man.
Take it from me, or from say someone who writes android

Okay, so why is it bad? It won't hurt anything on your device. They probably don't like it on their end because they want to control the rollout.
Doing so will cause problems with your Google account and services.There have been many reports of people not being able to update or install apps, etc., after doing this. Also the dreaded Google Play [RPC:S-5:AEC-0] error.
Do so at your own risk. But its been heavily covered on xda and anywhere else.
Won't install
I have A Verzion 3G Xoom did what was suggested and it worked perfectly except.... When it rebooted to install it got about 1/3 of the way through and I got the triangle with the ! sign and the Android robot standing underneath it? It is a rooted,unlocked Xoom. I was just wondering if anybody had any ideas why it won't install??
Thanks
G.H.

Thank Abds...that explains, forgot Verizon wrote it!
So for the past few days, when I do a google search in the stock browser on my S5, certain sites (I'm guessing only sites that have Play Store apps) are redirecting me to their play store app page... To be clear, I'll search for something and get a result that should link me to IMDB.COM -- but if I click that result, I get send to the IMDB APP page on Google Play... If I hold down the link and hit OPEN or OPEN IN NEW TAB, it will actually take me to the sites mobile page in the browser like normal.
Any idea what's causing this? I've cleared the browser cash and data, I've cleared Play Store defaults as well. I've tried removing all the individual web page settings inside the browser. I've done a ton of searches and found nothing.
I've actually now noticed that every time I try to link to a youtube video from a google search it just goes to "webpage not available." Again, if hold down on the link and hit OPEN or OPEN IN NEW TAB, it works...
This just started happening out of the blue and I have no idea what changed... And it's super annoying.
Any help greatly appreciated!
I agree. the same thing has happened to me and my wife's phone. When we google search in a browser on our androids, many links will direct back to the "play store" app. Same symptoms and reactions, when long tapping the links to open in new tab, the function works perfectly. And another temporary solution is to activate "desktop mode" if available in the browser, and it won't open the app store, but of course, depending on your device and the browser app, desktop mode can be a little sluggish
Please XDA developers, if any of you know how to solve this issue please let us know. Otherwise it'll be safe to assume that google is leveled up their reign of terror, beginning at relentlessly invading privacy, and now hijacking user experience by literary using actual malware techniques.

Sounds similar to this

Nope, this is different. The article talks about the option of installing apps directly from search results (i.e. the user sees an "install" button inline with search results). Whereas here, the search results themselves are redirecting to the Play store, with no option to keep browsing the link in the browser.

Yes, which could be related to the roll out / bugs during it
Seems slightly coincidental that Google search results are redirecting to the play store, at the same time as Google is rolling out the ability to install apps directly from the results

This has suddenly fixed itself... Links now working normally again for me. Strange. Seems like this might have been some Google roll out bug as Detection mentioned.
Anyway, working for now. My Youtube links still only open in browser (instead of in app) but I'll live with that, I guess.
Thanks!

Check in settings > default applications, that the browser is not set as default for youtube, if it is, clear it, and next time you open a youtube link, it should give the option to choose the app and set that as default
Or reinstall the YT app, and it should auto clear the default

Is it possible that google has superior control over any android device, regardless of the type of rom? where If google wanted to, they can roll out some crazy beta test on everyone's devices and then stop it again, after they've collected enough information from their tests? Whereby making useless the option an android owner gets for allowing google to monitor their device for app malfunctions or not.
My browser is acting normal now too. It seems really weird that a very particular action that is mostly found in malware was forcefully applied to our android browsers, (i don't use chrome, bur the default browser app in my stock rom) for the same amount of time before being taken away. And i know for a fact that it wasn't with anything i've done. Owning android devices for a very long time now (and customizing the such and PCs too) is more than enough experience for me to know that this is no accident, nor foul interpretation of settings on my part.
Just how worthless have these systems and devices become? Is there any safety left anywhere?
I use the tap/highlight to web search functionality quite a bit (official name escaping me), and on the last use I accidently hit "always" instead of "just once" for Google search as the default. 99.99% of that time that's what I use, but I prefer being prompted for the choice. Which app do I need to reset the defaults in so that highlighting a word on a page and then selecting web search prompts me for which app to use? I can't seem to figure out which specific app controls that functionality.
Edit: clearing all app preferences and defaults did not clear that action, it still just automatically searches via Google and opens in a new chrome tab rather than prompting for an app to use. Whoops.
Thanks

So I got a replacement phone today. I can't use most of my downloaded apps. It says I have to turn off screen overlay.
It keeps telling me to change my settings. Ugh. I've Googled advice and I keep reading things about disabling lux for example but I don't have that app..
I've also read if I go into my app manager and click on more it should allow me to "draw over" and this isn't an option on my phone..

It's a message from latest security policy from Google. It was introduced in latest update.
When you open an app and this app asks for any kind of permission like access contact, storage or location, you have to make sure that there is no app running on top of everything. This is for your security because this app can answer for you without your permission.
Example: if you have a Messenger chat head open on top of the screen, Google will not let you answer if other application asks for permission. In this case just close the chat head.

Can some kind person solve my riddle??
I was using Flipboard and was going to "share" an article via text message. I clicked on Textra (as this was my messaging app) and sent the link. However, I no longer use Textra (but haven't uninstalled it) and would like to change the app that I use for sharing a Flipboard link.
Anyone have any idea how to change or remove an app used for sharing? I've tried "Better Open With" in the app store but that doesn't work. Seems like this is native to Marshmallow or Samsung. I've done some searching and it seems like you used to be able to "clear" shared apps in the App Manager prior to this release.
Thanks for any help.
