Q:Google play cannot work anymore - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I met a Google play issue: It is normaol before, but now Google play just flashed and closed when launched. Reboot cannot fix it. What should be the problem? How to fix? thank you all.
By the way, I test several other apps, they works normal, Only TED download failed. Before this issue happened, I once disabled a TED download thread, cannot remember what exactly the name is.

gapps crashing

I occasionally get a message that an gapps service has stopped. Is there any way I can find out why? I am Rooted, and running Rasbean and MKernel.
Thanks.
Does it tell you which specific service has stopped working?
You could always try reflashing the gapps to see if that would solve your issue.

I tried reinstalling them. It doesn't specify a specific App. When I get the message again I'll write it down.
The error is:
Com.Google.prowess.gapps has stopped.
Clearing data on Contacts Storage solved this issue for me on my S2. You could try the same to see if it will work. No guarantees though.

I'll give that try. Thanks.
Just happened again.
As it's a problem with gapps, try clearing data on Google Services. Beyond doing that, I'm afraid i don't know what it could be

Looking into it more it seems to be related to my Google + account not syncing correctly. I disabled sync on it hand I havent seen the error return.... yet.

Gallery issue?

Hi guys, I've been searching the Web for a while now for this problem and I hope I'm not the only one with it. But since yesterday when I'm on gallery the preview at the bottom of the screen doesn't disappear! If you play a video the play buttons don't go anywhere either. Is there anyone else with this issue?

Yep, same here. I was about to make a thread for it, but found yours. The preview at the bottom, and toolbar at the top NEVER disappear, no matter what I've tried. Also, when making photo selections, a woman's voice tells me that the "check box is checked" I can't find that setting anywhere either. Super annoying.
What the deuce?
Haha even restarts don't help =/ and yeah the woman is hilarious but creepy! I would love to ask Samsung but would have no idea where to start!

Someone's gotta know a fix for this? I'm not aware of any other phone doing it...

I was having this exact same problem and finally figured out what was causing it, at least for me. I installed NoLED and turned it on under accessibility. I didn't realize the connection at the time but then I noticed that the top and bottom overlays in the gallery wouldn't go away. I also got the freaky voice, even when opening websites. Somehow I correlated the issue as to having started after I installed NoLED. After I uninstalled it my gallery sent back to normal. It was either an issue with the app or having given it access under accessibility. Hope this helps.

Gallery works fine on my S4. I have several 100 pictures on it in lots of different folders, and it works great for all of them. Video playback is fine too, FWIW.

Well I've had lightflow installed since day one... So I didn't even uninstall it, just turned it off in accessibility. Yup, gallery is fine now. Odd glitch.

same problem here...
it's not just lightflow, it's for every app that you activate in the accessibility menu
strange
That is pretty weird. Should of known it was light flow! Is there any way to report this to Samsung? At least we have found the fix. Thank you guys a lot!

Clear the data of "Google Services Framework" and 'Google Play Store", reboot and try downloading again.
Thanks I tried that and it downloads fine. I appreciate the help !

YouTube overlay problem

I've been trying to play a video off and on all day, but this weird overlay keeps covering up the screen and I can't get it to go away unless I restart. It looks like the Chromecast overlay, but it's been uninstalled, plus I'm not on Wi-Fi. Can anyone explain this?

I clicked on a link to watch a video and noticed the same thing on my YouTube app as well.
Thought I accidentally clicked on something to show that symbol and couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.
Glad to know that it's not just me,.....but hoping to figure out how to get rid of it :-/
I have the same issue on mine at times too. Would love to disable whatever service/feature that icon represents!

It's a known issue. Try to uninstall updates or install an older version.

Unfortunately uninstalling the updates and not reinstalling them is the only way I can keep it off my screen. As Bsmith states, it does appear to be a known issue according to the comments being left on YouTube in the play store. It is also related to using a Bluetooth connection and the similarity to how Chromecast connects.

Unable to find camera awesome on Google play.

I have purchased camera awesome from Google play few months ago but now I noticed that I am no longer able to even find it. I am on purity rom 4.4.1. Problem is, my friend is on the same rom but he can find it with no problem on Google play. Only difference is he's not purchased it. Anything I might have missed? I tried emailing the Dev but there's no reply.

It's probably a region issue. Follow this link on your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smugmug.android.cameraawesome&hl=en It will probably tell you that it isn't compatible with your nexus 4 for some reason. I normally find that this happens when I've recently updated my ROM to the latest version and the dev hasn't had a chance to catch up yet, but if your friend is on the same ROM I'm not sure why it would happen.

Did you change your phone dpi? It normally makes some apps incompatible with your phone which means even if you search they don't show up. Go back to stock dpi reboot. May be dirty flash the rom and you might find your app
I LOVE MY SLUTTY N4
Alright Changed back my dpi and it worked. Thanks guys!
