App Update sloooooww - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I have this problem (only with google play only with nexus7): the app updates are ssooooo slooowww (really slow...).
It's so strange. I had no problem a week ago.
I don't understand: i have tried:
-delete google account
-empty the cache of service, google play and so one + reboot...
And nothing.
The strangest thing is the other function are normal: Nexus 7 runs well, chrome runs well... all the internet services are perfect...
An idea???
Thanx

i hope im in the right section ^^

Have you checked your free space? I know my updates slow to a crawl when I am down to my last 500mb of space

i have plenty of space (32gb)...And i have some problems ONLY with google play app updates... nothing else! :crying:

up... please

So you are sure it couldn't be related to your internet connection because all the other things are running as well as before?

Try the amazing app pimp my ROM and play around with some of the settings, since I've began tinkering about my apps load even faster and my Galaxy S3 and Nexus appears to be faster

Play Store App flickers when downloading. Anybody?

I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not on the forms here. This is kind of hard to explain..Whenever I'm browsing in the Play Store app on the N10, during a download the app itself flickers (almost like its refreshing) whenever the percentage moves during the downloading process. This has happened way before the updates to the Play Store app as well. I'm running CM 10.1 (Nightly) and the issue is still there. This was one of the first things I noticed when I was running stock too. I was kind of hoping that Play Store Version 4.0.26 fixed it but I guess not.
Has anybody noticed this issue? I highly doubt this a hardware related issue. Games seem to run awesome on it.
Any ideas?

I have had the same issue since I got mine in December, running stock.
I've had this issue under JB 4.2 and ICS 4.0 on an Acer a500 and the Nexus N10, no fix found yet.
I get this too… it seems to me like a refresh issue, like the Play Store is trying to load up other images or something. Since no other app does this, I'm pretty sure it's just an app issue.
I've seen it on every rom, every version of the play Store... It may be the refresh for the download causing issues

Omg, it just refreshes. Is that so annoying?

Yes, because it makes scrolling through 'My Apps' a royal PITA. And sometimes, if its particularly fickle, it keeps returning to one single app over and over.
Thanks for the reply back guys. I didn't know if it was a hardware related or if its just a bug in the app itself. I see that version 4.0,27 got released today. Hopefully this will help!
@bahehs..Do you have jokes or something? I remember my first beer.

Still flickers for me, but at least it doesn't reset to the top of the list every time it flickers now.
Same issue when I'm viewing all my apps during download. Since I can now scroll through my apps during download I don't worry about it much anymore.

When I'm updating multiple apps, it will keep refreshing the first one to the point that I can't click on the next app in line to be updated, because I want to see what the new update has added or changed.
I have the same issue (flickering shop) on my Nexus 7. I've noticed that it happens while downloading larger files, especially games. Sometimes it freezes Google Play completely.
So far I haven't noticed it on my Nexus 10. (But it has different version of Google Play, as far as I can tell).
The latest play store 4.xx resolved my flickers.

Yup, flashing, barely able to see what was going on be it downloading an app or copying a film from a flash drive. Installed AOPK and it is fixed, one solid moving bar as it ought to be.
Mine does this as well. I just leave the play store so I don't have to deal with it. Completely stock.
I get this with paranoid android, but had it before changing. It not only flickers, but when I'm downloading, say, Gmail, and go to another app while in the "My Apps" view, it will revert back to Gmail. Very annoying.

What is this file being created?

Hey guys been looking for an answer but only found a thread on evo 3d forums that doesn't have much activity, anyways I keep getting this file created every hour or so and its really starting to scare me maybe spyware or something. Trying to figure out why and where its coming from. Also attached inside contents.

I would download Avast from Google Play and scan sdcard and apps. Not sure what it is. Looks like spam-ware.

Just noticed I scanned it when the file wasn't there. Maybe I'll wait till it gets created then I'll scan?

I found that in my phone the other day too. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't really do anything.
Could be a log file. I'm not sure what it is. I would scan again once it appears. Not sure if it is I needed file or not. I don't have a nex 4 but was looking into getting one that's why I'm at the forum.
You can try sd maid which has a system cleaner. Or change the files permissions if you are worried about it transmitting data. But I wouldn't mess with it too much until you figure out what it is.

You guys could wipe your sdcard with twrp if you are worried, but back up all your wanted sdcard data to a computer first. And then put it back on right after. I do that with my Nexus 7 sometime. Not sure if it is the same process on Nex4. It may not be necessary, not sure.

I have removed the apps I have installed on my Device from the above list, The first one that springs to mind is the go backup. I would check there first.

My girlfriends phone won't show updates in play store.

OK. I have a weird issue. We just brought my wife's galaxy s4 home and I was helping her set it up. She is coming from an iPhone 4 so its a little overwhelming for her. Ha. But anyway. I can't figure out why the play store won't show updates for the preinstalled apps. Like talk wasn't shown to update to hangouts. And Google now didn't show an update in the play store app but when you open the app it asked for an update. Here a couple screenshots of what I ,mean.

Anyway. I just didn't know why they didn't show up on the my apps list at all. None of the preinstalled apps show up. So almost all of the Google apps say they need an update if I search for them but when I look at the my apps they aren't even listed. Weird. None of my other android devices did this before. Oh well. I just wasn't sure if it was a setting in the s4 somewhere that I was missing.

Maybe the apps you have installed were backups? I experienced that before.. I made a backup (titanium) then batch installed it with the new rom, it didn't show any updates in the Playstore but it was listed "installed" in the All Apps tab. I didn't bother to confuse myself anymore )
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I'm getting a similar issue, playstore only notifies updates after phone is rebooted, not shure why this is happening =/
Maybe try using the market doctor feature in TitaniumBackup?
Yup. After reboot everything worked. I think it was just taking time because it was a new google account. No titainium restore. She came from an iphone 4.

(Q) Asphalt 8

I have annoying problem, when I tap some apps it's say unfortunately, the app was stopped. It's wasn't happening to me, I think it's because I blocked ads with the lucky patcher. How can I fix this problem? I waiting a lot of time to play in the asphalt 8.
By the way, when I try to connect to Google keep and search it's say the same thing, unfortunately Google keep has stopped. I really desperate, I need help, maybe it's supersu issue?

Perhaps you are just using a buggy ROM/kernel or you've used apps to restrict too many permissions of apps?

I get the same error on launching asphalt 8..
Like the other guys previously said, this problem must have something to do with custom ROMs. I'm on stock JB 4.3 (unrooted, locked bootloader) and the game runs perfectly.

Google services eating data 2+ gigs in 2 weeks!

My Google services is burning through my data. It did it last month and now it's doing it again. I'm not sure why but it looks like it uses huge chunks on random days. Today it used almost half a gb. No clue why. Any ideas?
I'm running vanilla rootbox.

I had this issue when running a 4.2.2 ROM on my Galaxy Nexus. For some reason, some ROMs doing have the auto update disabled, so Google services is continually trying to download the 4.3 update in the background.
You can download the app 'disable service' from the play store and use it to stop that particular service.
From the app:
Go to 'system apps' tab
Then 'google services framework'
Uncheck 'system update service'
That should do the trick.
Alternatively, update to a 4.3 rom and you should be good.
be careful ! use the greenify app! maybe you have an app drinking a lot from your data!
i recommend you flash a new rom and try instead!
