[Q] Google play question - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone! I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have a question about the Google play store: why can't I download more than one app at a time? Like I remember a couple years ago when I had a Motorola Atrix, with the older android market, I could download or like update 20 apps at a time. Why did Google remove that feature? And is there any way to get it back? Cuz it's super annoying imo, like right now I wanna download 4 apps, and one of them is a gb
in size, and is holding all my other downloads back -.-
Ps I'm using Swype, so apologies for any weird/stupid spelling, grammar, or any other sort of mistake

Yeah, we follow the news too.
This has nothing to do with the S3, by the way.

It only took me about 45mins to delete all the crap that has accumulated over the last 3 year, but thanks Google what's 3 years ehhh...... :beer:
The issue of not remembering your place in the list was infuriating. Try looking for cm10 themes when it keeps going back to the start of the list! This is the single most important fix.

You could have multi selected them all at once and then delete.

Why on jesusalabuddha's earth did it take google so song to get these new....hmmmmm.....features? And to boot....I had to sideload it manually. But so far I tested....and it rocks imo.
I had trouble installing it into /data/apps/.
I also renamed the old one first before bringing in this new one.
It wouldn't let me click the INSTALL button. (the 2nd one) So I rebooted and voila, it was there installed.
I still get the NOT CONNECTED bug at least 1 out of every 3 times I try to navigate within Google Play. RETRY button always helps.
Got it working - had to rename it because I'm running inverted gapps

I installed it a few days ago and being able to delete past "trial" apps is well worth the effort of side loading it!

Google Play 3.9.16 - FINALLY!

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/10...all-apps-list/
We can finally remove apps from the "All Apps" list on Google Play.. it also translates to the web portal!
Three years of junk cleared in 15 minutes! :good:
KKH
Was stilling annoying. I spent 20 minutes tapping away removing over 2 years of crap.. Was like a walk down memory lane. I felt old when I reached Open Home..
Guess it's too late to tell you that you can select multiple entries and delete them all at once, hm? ^^
Still didn't manage to reinstate a dedicated list for only apps you purchased, though I know Google has no intend of doing it.

Yeah I had to do the same thing. It was rather annoying. I am sure they will release another correcting that now that we all lost several minutes of our lives clearing them out. :laugh:
All that tapping made me felt a bit like an mmorpg player. Nice to see my first downloaded app was SuperSU.
I really like that we can remote apps from all apps.

Yeah, too bad you can't do the same operation on the Play Store website and it would sync back to the app. Also ridiculous that they made the list position to stick, when you're searching for apps, but not in the Installed apps section. When you list down and delete some apps, you get back to the top again lol. But it's a start.
Awsome man thanks for this . Was waiting for the remove apps feature for a while . I had 5 phones on the same google account and that list was gettin messy )

HIT THANKS PLEASE
I am so glad they added a way to remove apps. Like others, I have had multiple phones and had a bunch of old apps I dont use anymore. While first discovering the new option, I had learned that you could multi select and remove, so it didnt take too long. One more thing that would be great to add would be the ability to select multiple apps to install.

If it isn't released yet, then does it mean that there may be some changes when released? I am asking because i had downloaded it a few days before.
It is released officially but only some devices have got the upgrade

I just downloaded and right away found a glitch. On the main screen it shows the apps books and blah but if you touch the side it has a seizure and starts moving left and right a million times. Really hard to explain.

Google Play Store 4.0.25 Blue Theme
QuantumFoam said:
Hey
So I kinda didn't like the new Play Store look. Too much green, red and orange within the respective sections. So, thanks to forum member jugg1es' encouragement, I themes the whole thing so that it has a Holo Light look. I've not themed the arrows, check marks etc to maintain the subtle difference between apps, books, magazines, movies and music.
Instructions
- Extract archive upload search Phonesky.apk
- Open your file manager
- Navigate to /system/app
- Rename Phonesky.apk/vending.apk to Phonesky.bak/vending.bak
- Paste the downloaded file here and rename it to Phonesky.apk/vending.apk
- Set permissions to rw-r--r--
- Reboot

This is new? My CM10.1 nightly, JB-4.2.2 skyrocket upgraded to this the first time i ran it weeks ago. But none of my <4.2.2 androids got the upgrade. I was assuming it was restricted to the new version of JB? I like it much better. Its simple, quick and looks boring, like it should. I will never miss the "keep shopping?" page!!! And lil Wayne blinged out on the home screen? Was googles lamest app by far! Im liking the new attitude much better so far.

Just install the APK, it's the same as the one you'll automatically get anyway
It's not a problem, just be patient if you don't want to install the APK. I haven't got it yet either.

From what I have read, its only rolling out in the U.S. at this point in time. I'm sure the rest of us will get it soon enough.

[REQUEST] Tapatalk version before the major change

As many of you probably know, the new version of Tapatalk is a hot mess. I wish I've read the comments before upgrading.
Anyone happen to have the apk of the version prior to the major change in the UI and functionality?
I'll dig around in all my backups.
There are so many issues with the update:
1. The app is now ad-supported, but it's free! I paid for the app so I wouldn't see ads.
2. Forum navigation is cumbersome. Why would you force users to tap the most difficult spot to navigate?
3. Everything I load XDA, the "failed to connect to forum" toast pops up. I believe that renders the mark forum as read button useless.
4. 2 start new topic buttons while the mark as read button is hidden in a menu.
5. Color scheme.
6. There's no way to sort your subscribed subforums.
7. What's with the collage at the top once you connect to a forum? All that does is force users to scroll just to see what they want.
8. I could go on by I've got better things to do.
Yeah, it's a complete disaster. Check the attachment, that's version 4.9.5, right before the major UI redesign.
Anyway it just got updated to version 4.10.1.
^ Thanks!
I also paid for the Pro version. The strange thing is that out of the blue (about 2 weeks ago), the Pro version won't allow attachment uploads. It displayed a message to download the version from the Play Store and logging in with a Tapatalk ID to have that functionality and also (coincidentally?) the app force closes every time it's opened shortly after.
That pretty much made me install the version from the Play Store. I smell something is going on to force the current users to download the current ad version. I don't think it is fair for the ones that paid to get rid of the ads.

I know, haven't updated the app in over a year. It worked fine which is why I never upgraded.
I downloaded the apk but it won't let me install. When I tap on "Install" nothing happens, I could only tap on "Cancel"

I believe I saw it in a drop-down menu somewhere. But I'd gone back to Tapatalk Pro temporarily so I don't have it handy to check.
I've also gone back to the Pro version. It is so much better without all the unnecessary bloat.
