If I install any application from the play store the annoying pop ups begin. If I install from amazon no issues. If I uninstall the app the pop up stops immediately. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would like to install things from the play store again. Here is a wrinkle to add if I download and install more than one app at a time sometimes the pop up doesn't happen but if it does only one of the apps has to be uninstalled to eliminate the pop up. So I can download a small app I don't want and then install one I do and then uninstall the unneeded app and all is OK.

Just when you think you have this cursed tablet at least stable, something else happens. So the Google Market app decided to update itself to the Google Play Store. Now it force closes every time it's opened. Anyone getting the same (not getting the same?)? Any solutions? I tried manually side-installing another copy of the Play Store that I found online, but that made no difference.
I was able to fix this. I went into the Application Settings and cleared the data for the Google Play Store app. I then pressed the button to force stop the Google Play Store app, which I think caused the whole launcher to close and restart. After that, opening Google Play Store brought the "update" message and license agreement again without force closes. It's been running okay so far.
I was having the same issue with my store after attempting to rent a movie. Play Store and Play movies would FC every time. The clearing data trick didn't work. I had to to restore with a CWR backup.
try wiping 3 times. I have not had one problem since.

Found this on a less traveled site: This did the trick for me.
I had this problem and called Google Support. They were very helpful. What I had done is disabled the Download Manager when trying to get rid of the Facebook download notification. Go into Settings...Appplication manager. ..All...then find and click on Download Manager.
**Note: that if it is disabled it will be at the very bottom of the list of apps. Once you click on Download Manager you can click to enable it again. This worked for my problem at least so I'm posting hoping it may help others.
Recently, I tried to manually install some updates for applications on my Nexus 4 running stock and unrooted Android 4.2.1. As soon as I selected "Update All," Google Play immediately closed. There wasn't a fade-out animation like you would see when hitting the home button; it just closed and the home screen appeareared right away. There wasn't a "Google Play is not responding" dialogue, it just closed and wouldn't work.
From then, I tried opening Google Play again, and the app would launch, but then close right away before I get to see any activities. I cannot open Google Play, and I don't know why. I am running Play Store 3.10.10, which I believe is the latest version. I can successfully open Google Play again going to its App Info, selecting 'Force stop' and then 'Clear data'. After that, I am prompted to accept Google Play's terms and services, as if opening it for the first time. I can then use Google Play normally, but it closes again as soon as I try to install or update an app. What's going on?
Update
I contacted Google directly, and the solution to my problem involved these steps:
1. Clear data/cache for Google Play, Google Services Framework, and Download Manager
2. Restart Phone
I then had another issue displaying installed apps in the Play Store (it appeared blank). To solve that issue, I had to remove my Google account, restart the phone, then re-add my Google account, and it works again!
You can try to install the factory version of Play again by using the .apk in system/app. I don't exactly know which app, but Phonesky.apk has the Google Play logo

I tried rolling back to the factory default, but my problem persists. I wonder if it's a connection problem; I am in China by the way. I am using a home wifi network. I haven't been experiencing this problem for as long as I have been here, until yesterday. Perhaps when Play Store launches, it tries to connect to google, and then some sort of in-app command forces it to close because it got scared of something!
Since I have updated to 4.2.2 OTA (all Stock) installing Apps using the Google Play website does not seem to really work.
When I click install on play.google.com nothing happens on the phone until I open the Google Play App. Seems like that the service that used to connect to google play regulary does no longer run?
Anyone else seen this?
Related note ... I did the google framework service thing to get it to show the OTA after installing the update my phone did not show up in play.google.com at all until I have installed a random app using the google play app.
Open Play Store and check your auto update settings. Probably you need to enable it.
The autoupdate setting has nothing to do with it; I'm experiensing the same issue, the download starts, but it takes 1 minutes before it starts, even if I have Google Play opened on my phone

It is enabled but not sure how this is related ... I am talking about install / remove didn't test update yet.
OK I have fixed it.
Did Settings -> Apps -> All and Cleared the Data for Google Play and Google Play Services.
Rebooted the phone. Opened Play Store once and now thinks work like as expected.

This is what worked for me:
Go into your device's app manager. Select Google Play app. Click on uninstall updates. This will take it back to the factory setup state. I then had to reboot the device as I initially got a message that Google Play has stopped working when I tried to open the app. After reboot, open Google Play and accept the terms and conditions. This got the install from website issue fixed.
I have xPrivacy enabled and working well, however, everytime I try to uninstall an app from a launcher screen (TouchWiz and Nova), the process freezes and reboots the phone.
Here's the steps I take if anyone with xPrivacy would like to try to reproduce it:
Install any random app from the appstore,
Go to a launcher and hold down the app's icon until the Uninstall option pops up and drag over to Uninstall.
There's a prompt asking me if I want to uninstall the app, i select yes, and it takes me to another screen with a progress bar.
After a few seconds it freezes. After about 40 secs the phone reboots, and the app is gone.
I'm able to uninstall apps just fine using the menu system in Titanium Backup, or if i go directly in Google Play and hit Uninstall on the app's page.
The freezing and reboots only happen when uninstalling directly from Launchers. I tried clearing data for xPrivacy and allowing everything through. That didnt work. I tried using Autostarts and preventing xPrivacy from launching during an Install/Uninstall event. Still didnt work.
If i disabled the xPrivacy module in XposedFramework, then the process works fine.
Could someone verify this issue and perhaps inform me of a fix?
thanks.
I have exactly the same problem with Xprivacy to uninstall applications.
I search too a fix for this issue. Perhaps contact the author of xprivacy..
Same problem here. Note 3 (rooted) with Nova

It also happens for me, too WHY?!:silly:
Any update?
If you are sure it is caused by XPrivacy, then you should report it directly on GitHub to the developer and provide logcats.

Thanks for the information. I am having this same issue myself. but I need dude to get to this "known" issue sooner than that. I paid for pro version and I need to uninstall a bunch of stuff. I might uninstall xPrivacy, then install it back when I'm done.
The dev is on vacation for a couple weeks
I have been recently getting the below pop up on my S4. I have tried everything to remove it and not sure what app its associated with. Tried the Airpush opt out apk but still no joy. Also downloaded some Airpush removal apps from the play store and still keeps on sporadically appearing
Anyone know how to get rid of it?
There are tools to analyze and remove ad components. I know one but can't mention it as it's a warez. I personally don't use it.
Seems like the only option left is to uninstall apps one by one and check if it's gone totally...?
