Google Hangouts not working on Nexus 10 - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, noob post.
I have a nexus 10. I occasionally used Google Talk to chat with friends.
At some point it was automatically updated to Google Hangout which I had never used yet since the update. I went to try it out and I open the program and it flashes up quickly and then minimizes. I try to open it again and it keeps doing the same thing.
I tried to unstall and reinstall but it appears you cannot do that with Hangout, I downloaded it again from teh Playstore but still same thing.
I searched but didnt find anything. Can anyone help? I am not so good on troubleshooting Android.
Thank you, longtime reader but first time poster!

[Q] Unable to install apps, any ideas?

I am new to everything mobile, android, and tablet...
I tried to install some of the free apps from the APPS "shop", and after they failed to install, even purchased one (Quill) but that too failed to install. When I click "download"... I see a green line moving back and forth and it says "waiting to install" and then nothing happens for two hours. I tried several different apps, then gave up and started looking for a forum to ask... what am I missing?
Don't buy from the apps shop, buy from Google. Contact the app shop by clicking help, but they won't.
Thanks
Okay, thanks for the tip. Felt good to get the support!
Yeah, the app shop has been a fairly worthless and frustrating experience for me. They offered no help for the issue when I emailed them, despite multiple requests. I no longer bother.
Google market install problem
Hi, I'm not entirely sure if you are referring to the Lenovo app store or the Google one. Both are installed on your tablet. However I had the same problem with the GOOGLE app store, I would pick an app to install and a little animated green bar would appear for an age with the word "installing ...".
The fix for me was to open the app manager, go to the Google Market app, force close it, and clear its data.
I can install just fine now.

[Q] google play cant download google talk error [solved]

Hi,
here comes my next problem.
I rooter my kf and installed android market and google services framework. On the first start the market want me to sign in and updates to google play. After my sign in I get an error that google services framework has stooped. After restarting I can enter the shop but if wanna download an app, there comes an error ".. could not be downloaded due to an error (921)" and after a short time I get a message in the upper left corner "google talk authentication failed" .
I tried a lot to solve this.
The market got worker after I reinstalled it and signed in with an new acc. Then I got no error. But I want to use my regular google acc. Somebody has got a hint for me?
Thank you and sorry for my bad English.
seems that you have settings on your regular account that interfere with the capabilities of the kf (ie google talk)
maybe it's the better way to use different accounts for the kf and for your other devices
if you don't have other devices anymore you could try to go to google account configuration website -> dashboard and delete the other android devices
Yea thought about that too. I have got a samsung galaxy gt s5830. I bought some apps on that account and want to use them on my kf too. And I want to use that google mail acc on my kf too. :/ I was looking in my google acc settings if I can configure something but did not find anything.
someone had an idea?
did you try to configure settings on the kf or on the google website (maybe with computer) ?
On the website. But with the kf. I was thinking about deleting my other device temporally. But google does not allow it. I can only hide it. I think I will hide it and try my old account again.
[Edit]Did not worked, same error :/ [/edit]
just in the process of searching for a solution - found this one so far:
To the OP I had this issue with updating from cm9 beta 0 to beta 1 and it would give me 921 and a 4## error.. but after a while it fixed itself like it was never anything wrong =] google is jacking up with their new play market so #blamegoogle

Click to collapse
So maybe I just have to wait ?
I thought about getting the talk.apk and installing it. I was reading something about deactivating some sync options and that this talk app has to sign in at google.
sounds logically ...
found an other one:
I had a couple of error 921 (i think) but a couple of retries they installed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
seems google has some big problems ...
update: this one looks promising:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24050995
Yea..I hope time will help. I just fixed permissions and deleted dalvic. But it makes no change. You found it on twitter? [Edit]thanks I will try that[/edit]
just updated my last post - look at post #911 & #912
btw: not twitter - google is your friend ...
Man, you are realy good, thanks for your help. Your posted link worked for me. =D
glad to help ...

After cloning a samsung gio s5660 through a CWM backup I started experiencing the same issue. Heres What REALLY happens.
Google authenticates you in their services trought unique "keys" which are automatically generated upon system installation / factory reset, so if you clone your device or install a rom which has these "keys" pre-installed, obviously, your rom will only autheticate you in google servers if your phone is the only one using the service at that given time... Upon failure, your phone assumes to be the one who's wrong, and google servers won't autheticate you until you either tell your phone he is not wrong (by deleting the data from play store, which resets its status and errors) or you change the "keys". SO, what can we learn from this? deleting the play store data IS a temporary solution, and won't solve a thing. Let's delete the duplicated keys shall we?
Navigate with your favourite folder explorer on your android (I use X-plore, you can tell me anything, there's nothing better) to the following directory:
- "(root)/data/data/com.google.android.gsf"
Now you have two real options, either you may delete the all folder, which was the perfect solution for me, since my rom is prepared to re-create it upon phone restart and new keys will be generated, OR, you might want to just delete the contents of app_sslcache inside com.google.android.gsf whish are THE KEYS I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL TIME, YEEEIHHHH and reboot your phone...
Needless to say, take a nandroid backup before you do any of this...
Thank me later
For those who remember me from symbian s60v3 phones, yes, it is me, I'm back, and I've moved to the droid world, it's much better indeed
Ps. Moderators, please test this out, I've done it countless times, or else I wouldn't be wasting my time writting this, and make this the "Clonning" for cwm and Google talk authentication error solution, if you will thank you for your time reading my post, regards---

Google Play does not show all installed apps

When selecting My Apps on Google Play web site I can only see half of my apps.
I have about 250 apps installed from Google.
You able to fix market links using Titanium backup?

i encountered this problem once...
i forgot how i fixed it, probably by rebooting or logging in different google account...
Try to delete data of Google play in setting - application
then restart phone
This is on the Google Play web site, not on the phone.
I just noticed this problem too.
If you install apps via apk (eg. applications you got on xda) that Google has no record of on the play store, they won't show up.
Hey guys,
I'm having the same issues with my stock Galaxy S III. A couple of hours ago, I became 4 fresh devices directly from the Authorized dealer here where I live. I wanted to update them and set them up properly for my co-workers. I've installed 4.1.1 on all 4, with kernel 3.0.31-256827. Everything went smooth on all devices and I was really fascinating what a wonderful device that is. Afterwards I've created 4 Gmail accounts for all of them (from the same IP address) to install the needed apps from GooglePlay. But one, somehow, someway didn't show any pre-installed apps in GooglePlay, such as GoogleMaps, Gmail, Google+, which should appear, because they're installed same procedure in each case (every device has got the same versione, same firmware,..).
..to focusing back on little-vince's post;
I hope that's not true.
I don't know the way these apps were installed or cooked into, but 3 of 4 phones went smoothly in my case.
All 4 were before the update on the same version, which I did not wrote down. The problem also is, that on another device I had the problem to update the apps via GooglePlay which were shown. There basically was an *update* sign, but when I clicked it there was the text that it's not available in my area.
I somehow think, that the problem is somewhere in the language/locales.
I've switched between the default language on the phone, rebooted it, and somehow I made it work on the second device to run updates,
but on the first device, not even a single installed app shows up, which is funny :silly:
I've also tried to clear cache, wipe everything, factory reset etc.., but it didn't worked out.
If you find a solution, I'd be glad to know.
Sir, you stated Galaxy S III, you do know this is the GNote >>Galaxy Note GT-N7000. Unless you are ref to the GNote 7000.
But I glad you used the Search button to bring this thread up...from June - Sept.
I had this problem once and it was because I changed the screen resolution (lcd density). Google play understands this modification as a "not compatible device", so some apps doesnt´t show at "My apps".
Before that I tried a lot of solutions, like cleaning the google play cache, etc., but nothing worked.

My N4 disappeared from the "devices" section in PlayStore

And I can't get it back...
maybe this is because of me still running 4.2.2 stock with play store version 4.1.6?
... Am I the only one?
Just try to download something with your phone Google Store app and not with your computer browser.
I had the same problem when I force kill and delete data from google framework service (when you try to force to receive OTA).
I am sorry for my english, don't hesitate to tell me if you don't understand something.
Thanks, Otalgia. I was really trying to do that trick... I suspected that, and already tried to download something via my N4, but it still doesn't show up. thanks again.
It has happened to me in the past. I saw a post about this one the Nexus 7 forums the other day here.
Do what I recommended to that guy, simply go into your Play Store in your Settings>Apps and clear data then set it back up. Within a couple minutes (to a couple hours, apparently) it should pop back up as it refreshes the device list when a new one is "added'.

[Q] Android Wear won't send voice replies but everything else works

I've encountered a really strange problem on my watch (Samsung Gear Live) lately. Not a single texting app will let me use the "reply" button with voice.
Example: Friend texts me, text pops up on my watch. I swipe it and click "Reply" and try to reply using my voice. The text will write out on my watch screen, but the red Google mic icon just sits there for about 10 seconds as if its still thinking it's receiving input, and then it takes me to the "disconnected/watch is offline" screen.
But the watch is obviously not disconnected: I can exit that app and tap the screen and say "Okay Google" and then say "Text friend 'hi how's it going'" and the text will send without a problem.
I've encountered this error when using Coffee SMS, WearResponses, and Google Messenger. I've reset the watch, and cleared Android Wear data, and the problem still persists. This makes no sense. Any ideas/suggestions?
I have the same problem on my LG G Watch R.
I received the Watch today, the reply function worked once or twice, but now it does the same as yours
My Gear Live is still under warranty so I've sent it in to Samsung. We'll see if they are able to fix it...

Update: So, Samsung just replaced the entire watch for me. I'm setting it up now to see if the problem is fixed. Has anyone with the same problem tried factory resetting their *phone*?
UPDATE 2: Well, crap. It still doesn't work. I'm going to try pairing the watch with a different phone sometime in the near future to see if it's my phone. It's obviously not the watch.
Out of curiosity, what version of the Google Search app do you have installed?

Okay, I got it working. Obviously, there's probably some degree of magical Googleness that happened, too, but here's what I did:
Background: I had Google 5 installed from the Android M preview, and I had also previously sideloaded a newer version of Google Play Services (still compatible with my phone, of course)
1. Booted watch into recovery; factory reset several times.
2. Meanwhile, uninstalled updates to Google Play Services, and then download update from the Play Store
3. In the Play Store, uninstall updates for Google App (Google Search), then update from the Play Store
4. Turn on watch, pair with phone, and then pray over it
5. Test out an app (I use Coffee SMS), text yourself, and try replying to it. It might tell you that "Google Play Services must be installed" - I rebooted my phone and then manually connected the watch via the Android Wear app, and then tested it and it worked.
YMMV.
Thanks for keeping us up to date
I too, was finally able to get it corrected, but mine was a bit easier. The only real difference between what you first described and my situation - was that I am using the LG Urbaine Watch with the new LG G4. LIke you (and someone else) it worked a few times and I was thinking that would be my most used feature. Later - it stopped working and my research began. I thought it might have something to do w/ my loading up the LG Call companion app - but after taking that off - it still didn't work. Finally, a good friend of mine that is an Android lover - suggested I switch from the Verizon Message plus application - to the generic one provided by LG. As soon as we made the switch - the Text message response option appeared again. In fact, in addition the reply arrow - I also could see a full list of the conversation with that particular party. Very happy in making that little change.
