[Q] Google Play - "You have no devices"

Hi,
I tried the "Framework thing" to get the OTA it was not only not successfully but it broke my Google Play. I have readded the Google account and now Google Play works on the device but when I try to install using the Google Play site it tells me that I have no devices.
I tried to do that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669507 but didn't help either.
Any ideas / help appreciated, thanks.
Edit: After doing this a couple of more times it works now.

Just a tip to anyone who thinks of doing the same. The head engineer of Android (Queru something) said that it's not a good idea to do that.
Here's the link to the quote

i know twitter is an abbreviated medium, but it would be nice if he told us why it's a bad idea.
my N4 didn't see the 4.3 OTA update (nor the previous one) until after i did the framework trick.
google play was borked after the 4.3 update completed but removing and re-adding my google account appears to have sorted that.

Ok Google from any screen...?

I've been reading all over the internet about this new feature recently released by Google, and plenty of comments from people with a note 3 have gotten it to work, however it's not enabling for me.
There are supposed to be new settings under "OK Google detection" in google now settings, but they're just not showing for me. I have the latest version of search and play services. I'm still on 4.3, but I've read others have it working on 4.3.
Does anyone have these new features working on 4.3 on your note 3??? If so, how did you enable it?
TIA!

If you have the latest Google Search, open Google Now, menu/settings/voice/"Ok Google" detection...

Damn dude you have to learn how to read...I was asking for help for someone with 4.3... sorry to be rude but I don't like wasting my time.

Google was enabling this feature by account, but if i'm correct, you can search for "Ok Google Everywhere" in Google Now to enable these settings.

Android Device Manager "No Active Devices"

Hello,
Android Device Manager says I have "No Active Devices". I wan't to enroll in the open beta but obviously can't. I've googled this problem and none of the suggested solutions have worked for me. Running 100% stock on latest April 2016 build.
Help is greatly appreciated.

I helped someone regarding the same.
Go here: https://play.google.com/settings
See if your device's visibility status is checked.
For the other person that I helped, didn't had his device displaying there. So he did a complete factory reset and started over, and thereafter his device got enlisted.

Did you install Android Device Manager from the play store on your device? I believe this has to be on any of your devices first before it will show up on the website.

Yes it definitely is. It just keeps searching and searching and nothing is found. All location services are running on High Accuracy. Tried with and without wifi. Still no go.

Did you ever get this fixed? I have the exact same issue right now. Doing my head in as nothing seems to fix it.

A user contacted me for the same issue. After he reflashed the stock firmware and logged his Google account into his device, the issue was resolved.
I am not sure if there is a particular cause for this, but it seems to be an issue only caused on firmwares shipped out-of-the-box.

Yeah the phone is listed on Google Play settings just not in ADM or the beta signup page. I have tried everything I can find online to fix it. Clear data for a bunch of services, disable then enable remote flash, reboot, etc. Nothing has worked and it is really pissing me off now. Such a simple thing that should just work but nope

Yeah those are some of the links I found also. Followed all the advice on how to fix it yet nothing seems to do the job.
I am tempted to flash an older stock image onto the phone and see if it is an issue with the May update that is causing the problems.

So I signed up for a new Google account and logged in on the phone and it added it to the new account ADM instantly! So it isn't a problem with the phone but something to do with my Google account. I have posted a question to the Google Nexus product forum, hopefully I will find a solution.

I hope you do. Every few day, I see a new user with this problem, so hopefully Google will look into it.

I've had the same issue for months. It first started with my 6P, then I got a Nexus 9 and while using my main account there is no entry in device manager for it also.
For both devices other google accounts work fine, so I'm convinced it's an issue tied to my primary google account. The only thing I can think of is I've reached some sort of internal limit on the number of devices associated with an account, due to the high number of flashes over the years. I can live with using an additional signed in account for device manager, but it's annoying. I'll be interested if anyone ever finds a fix!

If package disabler pro 6.3 stopped working for you here is the solution

I opened package disabler pro earlier and noticed it had stopped working. I searched the internet for a few hours and found this app.
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
It has the update packages you can disable and works great for me. Hope this helps everybody!

XDA is being Scammed now?
Interesting !

What?

Disregard.

Worked Perfectly!

You're my hero! This worked flawlessly! Thanks!! I had trouble getting past the licence verification on all the other disablers. This one had all the files I needed. Do you happen to know if it still sticks after a reboot, or do I have re-disable them after doing so?

I wouldn't share malware with fellow Note 7 users. What makes you think its malware? Lookout? Because it says any app you try to install thats not from the playstore is malware lol

Well maybe it's not. I thought I read somewhere that it was harmful software, it's not in the Play Store at all, and the only people saying it works have less than 50 posts which is really fishy... But it's my only option so I tried it. The app does work, just hope it isn't some bad software...

The reason for my low post count.

To be fair, I've been mainly a lurker here at XDA, hence my low post count. I've been a member since 2009 if that puts your mind at ease. but I can understand how my post looked fishy. I've been banging my head against the wall for a couple weeks trying to figure out how to disable that darn update, so I was ecstatic when I saw the link to an apk that actually worked for me, so I felt compelled to log in and drop a line of gratitude

soon as I click software update to disable, the app freezes, says s package disabler has stopped working, then force closes.
does this with anything I click on to try to disable

You might want to try a factory reset if you're already fresh. You granted it device admin, correct?

I have granted admin access.I can see all the apps that are available to disable. actually if I click on disable bloatware it will disable it fine. it only force closes when I click on an individual app to enable/disable. already tried factory reset no dice

???
Can I get someone with some knowledge of the note 7 being stuck at the logo screen to read my thread I posted in the questions and answers forum?

I already found the solution. For some reason I activated the "clear background app".
In my case, just disable this option and the widgets started to update
