Not sure if this is the right place to post or not.
I just purcahsed a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Set it up and noticed the Android Market Icon was still there??? Went to download some apps and it prompted me to download Playstore. After Playstore was downloaded imediatly started freezing up and forcing close. Uninstalled, re-booted, reinstalled again and same problem. Unistalled, did master reset, did another initial set-up, went to Playstore and same problem. Wasted an hour of my life on the phone with T-mobile customer care and tech support then wasted another 35 minutes with Samsung tech support with no positive outcome. So this moring I turn to the internet and the real experts. Doing a quick google search I see that in the past week or two there have been a huge influx of Playstore complaints that sound similar to mine and it appears they are not device or carrier specific. Has Google come out an said there is a problem? Anyone else on here having any issues? FYI, I did confirm that I am running the most recent updates.
I checked and I do have the most recent system update on my device. I am not a "geek" but have been using Android devices since before they were availabel to the public and this Samsung is my 6th Android device so I am not a newb, that being said I am ready to throw my new Tab through a wall because I can usually work my way through glitches and get them corrected on my own. I was using a crappy old Viewsonic G-Pad before this, I thought I was upgrading but thet old rooted G-Pad is far better than this garbage.
Thanks in advance.
so are you saying you are on android version 4.0.4? that version should have come with the "play store".
I haven't had any issues myself, but you can try going into settings-applications, and then select the market/play store and clear data and cache. You can also uninstall updates if it still acts up.

Yes, it is version 4.0.4 yet it has an Android Market icon not a play store icon, I was very suprised when I saw that icon, I have not seen it in months on my other devices, i thought it was a thing of the past. Once I go into android market and try to install an app it then tells me I need to upgrade to Play Store, I click continue, download play store and that is when all hell breaks lose. Once I unistall the Play Store update it runs fine until I try to download another app through the market.
Not sure if this could help, but have you tried, instead of the factory reset, clearing data on Play Store and Google Services Framework, restarting and trying again? Ran into some Play Store trouble this past week and this seemed to solve it
I am having the same problem. I just got this 10.1 t-mobile tablet. I can't do anything because it is constantly popping up saying play store has stopped unexpectedly. I have uninstalled the update, cleared the data and cache. Nothing is working. I am essentially dead in the water as this pops every 30 seconds.
Saw the same problem on my friend tab
My only solution was to root and put cm9 on it. Works great now.

Hi all!
As always, I will start with the disclaimer that I am legally blind, and that I attempted to see if this issue was already addressed recently, but I have trouble navigating the forums.
I am a fairly competent Android user, but I am by no means an expert. I am just totally lost on this issue. I have the Galaxy Note 4 (T-Mobile variety) and am running the most recent firmware. I am rooted with a vanilla setup.
The phone has been working wonderfully, but after trying to download the Dungeon Hunter 4 game, suddenly the Play Store crashed. Since then, any time I attempt to download Dungeon Hunter 4, the store crashes and loops the "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped working." Other apps seem to be downloading just fine, oddly enough.
I did the usual measures: cleared cache and data for Play Store, Play Services, and Download Manager. Alas, it was to no avail. I also removed and re-added my Google account, too. It fixes the crash quite effectively *UNTIL* I attempt to download DH4. (Gameloft customer service leaves a lot to be desired - I submitted a support ticket a week ago!)
If anyone has any thoughts on the issue, I'd be immensely happy - - thanks guys!

Hi ,
if you are rooted did you install..... XPOSED FRAMEWORK ?
if so , then its most probably your cause.( i had similar experience a while back with Play store apps etc )
Your options are to either install fix /patch ..XSecureStorage( module for Xposed )
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xshealth
it fixes Shealth ,Private mode ,some lag and also this Play store issues .
good luck
You could try installing from the play store on your pc. It should get pushed directly to your phone.

Thanks so much! It was indeed the Xposed module (as best I can tell.) I went through them, one at a time, and re-updated them manually. I'm most grateful for the input! :thumbup:

Thanks for your input! I went ahead and sideloaded the Google Play Store as an APK file, just for good measure, and I have experienced no more issues.

Hi Jag,
I know that I said some time ago that the issue seemed to resolve itself, which it did...for a while. I know this thread is a bit stale now, but I felt that it would just be redundant and discourteous to start a second thread. At any rate, it's doing the same thing again, despite me having disabled/removed all Xposed modules for the time being, uninstalling Play Store updates, clearing Play Store and Frameworks cache/data, trying the newest version of Play Store, and then re-trying your suggestion of having the web version of the Play Store push the app straight to my phone. It doesn't happen with all apps, only certain ones. The game developers for both games are very advanced firms and tried to assist me through a help ticket, to no avail. I am going crazy -- does anyone have any other ideas? My sanity rests in your hands, O' wise denizens of XDA...
I generally despise the Amazon app store, but I caught a few free apps there that I didn't want to pay for on Google. Had 'em all on my Note 4, but absolutely nothing from Amazon will install on the V20.
I've cleared cache/data, restarted, I don't have any Amazon pre-installed bloat disabled, I'm on Verizon so I'm not rooted or anything, I switched to the stock launcher... I haven't done a factory reset, but I've tried everything short of that I could think of and nothing is working... It'll download apps but stay stuck at "Installing..." forever.
I called Amazon customer service and they were worthless, they had me try everything I'd already tried then washed their hands of me and told me to contact LG...
Anybody else seen this problem or know of a fix?

More than likely it's a compatibility issue w/Android 7.0+>,hard to say for sure,not knowing which exact apps you're trying to install.
Typically,Amazon versions of apps are slow to be updated as it is,so,you have a couple of things to look at.
My amazon underground app took a few tries. Pretty sure at one point it was struck on installing and I just backed out of it and it was finished even though it acted like it wasn't.
I have Amazon underground (shopping app) word twist (game) and Amazon music but that's all from Amazon I think.
It's not that the apps themselves won't work, it's that Amazon won't actually install them. In particular I was trying to install Plex, but I've tried a good dozen or so. General stuff, like Yahoo mail and Spotify - everything hangs at installing.
I think something must be hosed with my Amazon app, I just don't know what...

I just installed PLEX w/no issues,T-Mobile version (H918).
Do you have the UNKNOWN SOURCES enabled in Settings > Security?
I'd check the app permissions,make sure they're enabled.
Also clear the store app cache/force stop & try again.
If that fails,delete all the store app data,sign-in anew & try yet again.
If none of that works,perhaps try an older version of the Amazon Appstore .apk:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/amazon-mobile-llc/appstore/
Huh, I'll be... I don't know what happened with this, but I managed to get Plex installed just now...
I was poking around in my file manager and the Android/data/com.amazon.mShop.android folder had an apk in it, "update-154-1479665130487.apk" - turns out that was Plex. It wouldn't install from there because of a media scan. I moved it to my SD card and it installed straight away.
So yay, resolved-ish. Thanks for your input everybody!
I couldn't get video to download. Same issue stuck on installing. Finally just downloaded an apk and called it good
It took two tries to download Amazon video. It got stuck at the download part after I went through all those steps Google make you go through to keep people from using Amazon apps. But worth the effort since you can download certain movies and series with your Prime membership. Saved me on a United flight that surprised many by charging just to watch TV!! I don't think one person paid for it. I also have a YouTube Red subscription but hadn't gotten around to reloading all the content onto my new 256 GB Samsung Plus sd card.
Here's an interesting one. MOJO has been fine for the longest time, but all of a sudden I'm finding the system locking up and needing a hard reboot when using the Google Play store.
This has only happened twice, but both very recently and both only when using the Play store. I've had to switch off the unit at the socket as the system is completely unresponsive.
Anyone else had this? I note that the Play store version I have is 8.0.73, and upon checking there are no updates available to it. Thanks all.
I'm guessing no then!
Well, I've cleared the Play Store's cache as well as the Google Play Services one, and now it seems to be saying it will download and install a new version of the Play Store. It doesn't seem to be in any kind of rush to do this however.
No freezes since clearing the caches, so hopefully once the store is updated that will be the end of it. Looking at the versioning numbers on the internet and it does seem that 8.0.73 is an older Play Store. Fingers crossed this is resolved. Will post back later.
Yep had this issue my self it's due to google play services likely outdated and or play store too, you will need to get to a working stage and then get into google, then type google play services update choose the play store webpage link for that result in google and click install button on the page for the google play services update choose open with google play store, then install it. This happens to tonnes of outdated devices not just the mojo phones and tv boxes and tablets all go through it if out of date.
Actually I had been using the ROM for over a year before it happened. It's happened once since last posting in fact, but I notice that my Play store is up to date, and I also notice that the Play store seemingly updates on its own following a freeze. So I wonder if it is anything to do with that.
May possibly have solved this. Was still getting freezes upon exiting the Play Store even after a re-flash of CM12.1 with up to date GApps. The whole console would just freeze up on returning to the desktop, so that would involve pressing back to exit the Play Store until returning to the main screen. But this didn't happen all the time.
Then it dawned on me that it might be the bloody launcher I set as default home. I mentioned elsewhere that I'm using TopTV Launcher which I have really enjoyed. So I changed it to my favourite phone/tablet launcher - Nova.
Bugger me if it hasn't been absolutely fine since.
I'm going to keep hammering the Play Store for the next few days/weeks, as the freezes seemed to specifically occur when the Play Store was updating. But hopefully this is solved. /fingers crossed.
Lol no, crashes be back! Bit different on Nova Launcher. I exited the Play Store and then got "Unfortunately, Nova Launcher has stopped", rather than an outright freeze. Tried to re-select a different home/launcher, but got the same thing. "Trebuchet has stopped" etc. I had to fudge a route to the shutdown app by just pressing keys on my wireless keyboard, otherwise it was stuck in a loop. There's definitely something going on with Play Services imho. I've also tried clearing the cache and other solutions but to no avail. My Play Store is up to date too so it's not that.
The most interesting solution I've read so far is that Play Services gets jittery if it doesn't find certain apps installed, such as Maps etc. Now I do have a pretty pared down set installed. Maybe I'll try installing more Google apps, but isn't the point of rooting and flashing these devices so that you can control what you install? What's the point if I still end up installing all the crap I don't need anyway?
Still, I'll perhaps give it a go - or otherwise just throw either the MOJO or myself off a building!
Hello,
Hope I am posting in the right place. This is the one game I wanted to get going on switch android. Has anyone got this game to run? I validated all the files and it loads up but gets stuck at the kotor logo screen.
Any ideas to get it working or does anyone know why it wouldnt work? So far Ive tried GLtools to spoof gpu/cpu in an attempt to get it to maybe work but no luck there either.
Thanks

Great ideas, both appear to come installed with the 8.1 switch android and I made sure they are up to date. Seems to be another problem getting it working.
Didn't tested but my hint is try using gltools to spoof another hardware to the game. Helps when I wanted to run rr2 in my s8, and seems that people are getting fortnite to work using it.
Working great for me, didn't have to spoof anything or do anything special, works right out of the box. In-game screenshot here.
Maybe try waiting a bit on the splash screen, it takes about 30-45 seconds for me to load up.

At least I know it can work. Thats strange mine wont get past the boot logo. I downloaded it from the play store current version.
My sd card seems fast enough android assistant says boot time is 2:00 to load into android and everything seems fast. Whats your boot time about?
Ya I can't get past the boot logo either. Always crashes when I push a button on a joycon or just hangs there till I exit. @spenat how did you install the game?
Absolutely nothing special: Just installed it from Amazon Appstore and played. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now that I think of it: Maybe there is a different version in Amazon Appstore, than on Google Play..?
Play store, Amazon app store and downloading the apk all cause the same issues. @spenat did you install shiedlier, magisk or the joycon fix?
I have installed following mods/updates:
- Shieldifier (and updated the Nvidia App)
- Magisk (latest)
- Joycon fix
That is it, not sure if it could have any impact on that.
Weird, nothing I do can make it work
If it's of any help, my KOTOR version is 1.0.9.
I have also recorded a short "test" video of the loading time (and a very short portion of gameplay).
What menu or app are you using to open the file?
It's a launcher called "ATV Launcher".
So I have bought it from Google and Amazon. Downloaded patched version. Clean wipe and fresh install on a new SD card. And nothing. Just hangs at the logo forever,
Same issue here, crashes on boot logo.
A thought, have you tried noting without the joy cons connected?
What KOTOR version are you using? Maybe try side-loading the KOTOR app (look for version 1.0.9).
I haven't tried launching the game without the joycons connected, will try and report back.
I have tried the 1.0.6 on google play, 1.0.7 on amazon, 1.0.9 underground and a bunch others and all do the same thing
hmph just hangs here too is this guy trolling? not cool gonna try atv launcher
just tried no luck there either.
Are you logged into the amazon game service? it wont let me do that...
do you also own this on a legit shield?
I am not "trolling", you can watch my video above - the game is working fine for me... No, I am not logged into amazon game service.
Also no, I don't have the game on Shield device, I don't even have one. I have it in Amazon Underground app store since a long time ago.
