If u have installed play-store via Nokia X tools 1.2 then you are familiar with this issue, Play-store gets disconnected after reboot. I have tried several method and this is the easiest. After reboot go to settings/ Time and date, disable automatic time update, advance time for one day. Now open Play-store, if it shows disconnected then press retry. Try to manually close it in recent apps if play-store is opened once after reboot. When play-store is working fine you can turn on automatic time update to fix the time. Hope it helps Press thanks if it helps.

Have verified, but failed. I know another some solutions for the connection issue.
1. Remove Google Account and add it again.
2.Use Nokia X tools 1.2 remove your google apps and add it again.
3.Go to setting->Accounts, choose your google account and go to account sync, you will find some items can't be synced now. And you need uncheck them, then open google play again. It will be ok.
About the solution3, I haven't verified it. But today I sovled this issue with solution3. My google contacts can't be synced. I unchecked it and google play is ok. My version is 2.1.0.11

Permanent FIx

3. Root using nokia x2 tools. install custom recovery [http://www.mediafire.com/download/eu9kwxptmc93dau/NOKIA_X2_CUSTOM_RECOVERY.zip]

Hi All,
There are already threads for this problem, but all possible solutions are not working
My apps are not showing anymore in Market.
Clear cache is not working
Clear cache and reboot is not working
Clear cache foreclose and reboot is not working
Market dokter Titanium does not work
I always get a agreement of de market but again my apps are empty.
Did a full wipe and reinstalled ARHD 6.3.2 then restoren my apps by Titanium
A see all the Apps in my Apps, but again later on... everything is empty
Somebody have same issues?
Cheers,
Peter
If you find an app you have purchased before, does it allow you to install it? Or does it say its "incompatible" with your device?
It is allowed to download it and install it. And i have no new phone... so maybe my account is corrupt at Google side?
Try the following, if you have superuser permissions.
In the file /system/build.prop find the line starting with ru.build.fingerprint, and replace symbols JFM to JJ7
If this not works, in the same file find the option ro.sf.lcd_density=167 and change 167 to 160. You may set another value, eg. 240.
After saving the changes you should reboot.

My ro.build.fingerprint is like:

Do i replace GRJ90 then?
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 this is my line
Have change this things but did not work.
clear cache did also not work again...

Better first try to change LCD density to 160. I'm not sure about fingerprint in non-Russian roms
Btw, are the permissions for build.prop set correctly after making changes?

Try everything nothing helped...
I use a build.prop editor this saves the file and correct the permissions.
Even uninstalled the market update did not work
IT is working again:
unimstalled the update of market
Clean data from google services framework.
Then force close
Clean data of market
Then force close
Reboot
Now it seems to work....
After update of market app the problem is back. Now i try the same steps as above...
After the steps above without remove market update i got my list back...
But after a change from portrait to landscape the list is gone again....
Seems like Google developers "fixed" something again. Try to ask their support
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
I discover it was a App problem. When i did a full restore of Titanium the problem was there... When i did every time 5 apps restore i use for long time the problem was gone...
I do not know that app gives this error.. because i delete all other apps what i think it was the problem and even do not use them anymore as well..
It is a update of something .. so my problem is solved.
Also, Market Fixer can help to solve the problem. Root required!
Market fixer did not work... have try that already.. but it is solved now...
Official fix for me...
Requirements:
Market Fixer app installed
Faith and patience
Intructions:
1) go to manage applications in your settings, tap view all and force close "Market" (don't delete any data)
2) while still there, also delete "Google Services Framework"'s data and force close it
3) run "Market Fixer", tap analyse market links, select all of them and tap remove market links ONLY
4) go to "My Apps" inside Android Market and make sure there's a Retry button on the screen telling you it couldn't communicate with the server, if there isn't, repeat step 2 and re-check
5) re-run "Market Fixer" to be sure the links didn't get recreated, and if none appear, reboot
6) go to "My Apps" as soon as you boot completely
7) if previously bought apps appear on the list, go to the free apps category and install a new one (this will recreate your market's database with working information)
8) check "My Apps" one last time, all apps should be there now
9) if you want, reboot once more and go to "My Apps" again to make sure everything's in working order with your "My Apps" list
10) dance the macarena, shoot a few hoops or just enjoy your victory like i did
11) make sure you don't re-link those evil apps to your market so you don't have to redo all of this
***As you could've noticed, the idea behind the first five steps is to keep the market from recreating the links or having to clear the data for Google Services Framework many times (both happen when the market's still running in background).***

Google Search 2.6 works on Kitkat but first you have to uninstall the new version. The reason why it can activate Google Now as opposed to the newer versions is because it does not check the location settings.
I wonder if anyone figured how to get Google Now back so far.

I had the same issue since updated my N4 to 4.4 via official factory image.
Here's my solution but requires ROOT!
1) If you're using new GE launcher (it's integrated with Google Search app), uninstall it and choose default N4 Android 4.4 launcher.
2) Clear data and cache for currently installed Google Search app and uninstall updates, it should revert back to 3.0 version.
3) Download Google Search 2.6.7 here. Rename it to velvet.apk DO NOT INSTALL!
4) Open your favorite file manager with root option (I use Solid Explorer). Navigate to root/data/dalvik-cache and delete [email protected]@[email protected]
5) Navigate to root/system/priv-app, firstly backup velvet.apk and then delete it.
6) Copy velvet.apk file that you just downloaded and renamed to the same directory root/system/priv-app and change permission to 644.
7) Reboot device
8) Open Google Search app Google now opt-in options will appear, agree and go on.
9) Open Play Store and update Google Search to lastest 3.1 version.
10) Again navigate to root/system/priv-app and restore system original velvet.apk which you just backed up. It is important because when new OTA arrives for yoiur device it will check all root/system/ directory for any changes. OTA update will fail if it detects that user changed system files.
11) Reboot device once again
Google now should work without problem. Also now you can install new GEL, it should work with new Google now features including dedicated left panel on home screen.
I appreciate your effort, but it is not really a solution: nobody should be forced to root their device to get back some functionality, which was accessible before the upgrade.
off course not. But it's best way to fix this issue if you already rooted your device for some other purposes.
I was seeking for solution since updated to 4.4 for 2 days. Tried different methods, with and without root but nothing helped.
It seems like users should wait Google's response for this issue to get a fix.

I have the Nexus 4 and the OTA 4.4 + factory reset - same problem, also no KitKat launcher
Hi, I've got a problem I cant fix.
I wanted to downgrade Google Search so I uninstalled updates and it went back to stock. I then installed the version I wanted. v3.1
Now, this is my problem. I DONT want it to show in Google Play as an update so I tried to make a updated APK like I have with many other apps where I like older versions.
Now I used Lucky Patcher and that didn't like making the modded APK but it did back a backup. So I clicked RESTORE BACKUP. and guess what? It deleted the app instead of restoring it.
Now when I try to install it from either any APK or even directly from Google Play it keeps saying the device is full and fails to install.
I have over 1GB free. I've deleted about 10 apps and still keeps saying device is full. I've reinstalled those 10 apps and they fit and install without problems and I still have over 1GB free.
HOW do i get Google Search reinstalled? I dont want to reflash it as I will loose ROOT and that was a big enough ***** to install the first time.
I have a stock recovery menu. Rooted Galaxy S4 i9505 4.3 official firmware.
I did delete delvik cache and the cache in recovery menu.
I cant find any other ways to restore it? I tried titanium backup with the backup I have of it but that never ends when I click restore. It doesn't finish, doesn't do anything just sits there saying its restoring but never stops still I kill it even after 30 mins it was still restoring.
Anyone??
I did try Titanium Backup and made a update.zip and that fails both from SDCARD and ADB as its not signed and its stock recovery.
Do I have to install a custom recovery? Can I use the one I used with 4.2.2 or do I have to get a 4.3 version? That was i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4.tar
Anyone?
I'm stumped. I dont have a clue whats going on and why it wont install and why its saying its full when its got 1GB free.

Thanks for the reply.
Was hoping not to do that.
BUT, everything still works without it anyway and as it stole the use of my Bluetooth button it wont be missed but I do like the Google Now alerts.
What happened with me was the latest few versions stole the link to the bluetooth button. Before when you pressed the button you had the option of S-Voice or Google Search and now the newer versions dont have that option and always use Google Search and you have no way to revert back to S-Voice. I had Google Search disabled for a while but I want to use Google Now so I need the app but not the new version so an old version works fine. I think the last is 3.1? I didn't try 3.2 but I know 3.4 has that forced Google Search now.

I got it installed and fixed a few other apps at the same time.
I went to root /data/data and found the google search was a 0kb file so I deleted it and it installed fine after that. I also had a few other apps that were playing up so I deleted those folders and they now install and work fine.
So in the end no need to reflash just remove the corrupt files and its all fixed.
I did find out Google Search 3.3 is the last of the good versions, 3.4 is when it steals your bluetooth's connection and uses it for its own without letting you choose default.
As S-Voice is a Samsung feature those not with a Samsung phone wont care but those like me that use S-Voice will be annoyed that the latest Google Search removes the choice. I recommend to disable so it goes back to default version then get v3.3 and install that and use an app to remove it from updating in Google Play then all will be good.
it's solved right?
but anyway maybe you could try to flash gapps . Don't now if it will works but i good to try anyway ;D

When uninstalling on stock, you only delete apk file. You have also to delete corresponding odex odex file in system/
Then, you have to remove also corresponding folder in system/data/data
Then, you can try to reinstall the app.

I fixed it. There was a corrupt file in /data/data and as soon as I deleted it, it finally installed fine after that.
Now trying to stop Google Play from upgrading and also removing it from the update list is another problem.

I do that and it doesn't work with Titanium Backup.
I want to remove it completely so it doesnt even see it in the Google play store.
In Titanium Backup you can remove it from Google Play but that option doesn't work as I've had it removed twice and its updated both times.
So far its working. I've turned it into a user app and removed it from the store and its not updated yet but I will give it till tomorrow and if it auto updated like the last 2 times I will just uninstall it again and not use it. Its more trouble than its worth anyway.

I want it installed, I want to use Google Now but I don't want to update to the bad version and I don't want Google Play to keep telling me there is an update so I want it removed from Google Play.
As I said Titanium Backup does have a "Detach from Market" option which does remove it but after a few hours it updates anyway so that option doesn't work.
When you make a custom APK it's not seen in the Market so that works but Google Search doesn't work when you customise the APK.

I've unticked that box so Google Search won't auto update but it's still in the update list and it still gives notifications that it needs to be updated.
It needs to be removed from Google Play, that's the only way to stop it from updating or asking to update and it's the only app I can't customise that I've tried. I've modded many apps and they work and they are removed from Google Play but this one I can't.
I also want other apps to auto update so I dont want to turn that option off.

YES YOU CAN.
Just install Market Fixer and that removed it. But it does sometimes show up after a reboot. I rebooted twice and it showed up the first time but not the 2nd time.
So it looks like I've fixed the problem.
Titanium Backup's 'Detach from Market' doesn't work but Market Fixer does the same thing and that does work.
The problem I think is its a system app, its used by my Google account, its used by half the system so its not easy to hide from the App Store. As other apps aren't used the same way they are easily hidden but Google Search isn't.
Hi everyone,
after updating to cm-13.0-20160430-NIGHTLY-d802 and, afterwards, facing this problem:
https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/124602-phones-screen-seems-to-go-dark-after-going-into-standby-since-nightly-install/"]https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/124602-phones-screen-seems-to-go-dark-after-going-into-standby-since-nightly-install/
I tried the following:
1) Wipe System + Data
2) flashed cm-13.0-20160501-NIGHTLY-d802
3) restore app+appdata+system data with Titanium Backup
Now everything but phone app, works.
It crashes every time i launch it/answer call. I tried to clean data and cache of phone app but it didn't work.
I discovered that after disabling/freezing "contact storage" phone app works perfectly, but i don't have contacts this way.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards.

9. My device reboots when I receive or make a phone call. Why?
If your device has Google Dialer installed, it requires to be set as the default Phone application. If not set, it will reboot your device. Go to 'Settings -> Apps -> "Gear Icon" upper right -> Default Apps -> Phone App' to set Google Dialer as your default.
I have problems downloading files in some apps (Tapatalk, 4PDA...) and installing apps from Google Play on Nubia Z17 Lite - the download stops working at one time. Sometimes it helps to change the WiFi network, but sometimes I have to clear Google Play and Google Play Services cache and memory and reboot the phone. Does anyone know of any lasting solution to this problem? Thank you in advance

I have the same problam. Help
I had same problem.I go to apps and force stop Google play stroe and Clear data.Also i do same to Google Services and fix my problem every time.I hope Nubia fix this with update
I am also having problems with Play Store and Google account synchronization - it worked fine for a few days, but then Play Store stopped downloading/updating any apps (it is stuck on Downloading, but doesn't start to download anything) and synchronization to my Google Account doesn't work.
I tried various methods, like rebooting, removing data&cache of Play Store+Google Play Services+Download manager, uninstalling/reinstalling Play Store & Google Play services, removing/re-adding my Google account, wiping cache+dalvik from TWRP, but nothing helped. Then I realized that when I kill SwiftKey process, it started to work instantly. It seems that SwiftKey is blocking Google services mainly when I have synchronization to Google Account enabled. Then I noticed the same problem with Google Contacts app.
I suspect that it may be one of Nubia system apps what is causing these problems.
What I found is some text in a Russian forum, translated using google translator, it can be worth of trying to disable that app cloning service:
For what it's needed: firstly , for those who do not use cloning, this is an unnecessary functionality; secondly , this chip conflicts with Google's synchronization (for example, with the G-board keyboard) and in general with all Google services. Who does not care about all this, you can not read further.
What you need: TWRP or root-access, PC and ADB
1. Delete CMVirtualbox.apk (located on the system / priv-app / CMVirtualBox path ) or just rename / delete the .apk extension to ease the rollback.
2. Connect the phone to the PC, run the command line (all the necessary drivers must be installed, debugging by USB is enabled, the start is made from the ADB folder), we write the command:
adb shell pm remove-user 10
and press enter. After success, reboot for persuasiveness.
As a result, cloning will be disabled, G-board keyboard messages "Synchronization on devices with G-Suite account or Android for work profile is not supported" will not appear any more and Google services will work more adequately. Successful to you of samples!
PS For rollback just return CMVirtualbox.apk , reboot, and everything returns to normal.

This is so far the best solution. Thank you Lapist!
I Deleted CMVirtualbox.apk (located on the system / priv-app / CMVirtualBox path ) or just rename / delete the .apk extension to ease the rollback.
I coudn't pm remove-user 10 but everything works fine now
After one day of use, google account doesn't sync again. Unable to update apps

For me, the problem was resolved by uninstalling SwiftKey. For some reason, it blocks Google services and just stoping it's process or hibernating it using Greenify solves the problem immediately. Maybe it would help also to use sync with Microsoft account instead of Google in SwiftKey settings. I saw a similar issue also with Google Contacts app (Nubia Contacts works fine).
Since switching to Gboard, problem didn't appear again and Google Play and sync works without any issues.

You are welcome Although not rooting it would be pity...With root it is easier to get the phone into more useable state, like background apps not getting killed to get notifications on new messages properly etc. It helps to turn a few apps into system apps and/or add them in ProcessManager database as protected apps.
How to root?

What's the easiest way to root the Nubia Z17 (global) lite?
Is there a step-by-step guide?
Thanks a lot

I think there is no detailed step-by-step guide, but you can gather information from threads about this phone. You mainly need to have ADB drivers, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and from it flash Magisk.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76842677&postcount=26 (you can just skip flashing boot.img and files init.qcom.post_boot.sh and .thermal-mode-01-01.conf, just flash magisk ZIP instead)

LATEST UPDATE: Now I'm stuck in the "Nubia...Powered by Android" start screen. This happened after I tried to install v1.05. This opened the TWRP screen in Chinese. I selected the bottom-right button and then again the bottom-right and chose English and then rebooted.
I can still get into twrp mode by long pressing the volume down + power keys.
What steps do I need to take to make the phone boot properly again?
-----
-- I posted this section below earlier before I had this boot problem
--
I finally found the time (and the courage) to try this out.
SuperSu was installed so hopefully I didn't miss anything. Does it mean that the device is rooted?
I can successfully get into su mode with a terminal app.
Also, I have two root checker apps. One is showing that the device is rooted, and the other shows that it's not.
All my apps and settings remained as they were.
IS THIS OK? I expected that the process will wipe all the data.
I didn't flash majisk. IS IT NEEDED IF THE DEVICE IS ALREADY ROOTED?
And lastly, I still can't download from the play store
Any suggestions on that issue?
Thank you so much

How did you install v1.05? You need to do it from emergency recovery using OTG cable/adapter, not from TWRP.
If you went from LineageOS to stock, you need to wipe data from emergency recovery, because the storage is encrypted.

I tried to install v1.05 from the settings->System Update->Local Update menu (http://blog.geekbuying.com/2018/03/official-global-versionzte-nubia-z17-lite-snapdragon-653-android-7-1-smartphone-firmware-20180316/).
Before that I had the global stock version 1.04.
What can I do now?

1. You can try wiping data & cache partitions.
2. Use that emergency recovery and flash zip over OTG from there again.

Thank you,
I already tried that.
The problem is that in emergency recovery mode the thumb drive that is connected with OTG cable is not recognized.
In TWRP I can mount that drive, but in emergency recovery mode its not mounted.
UPDATE: I tried different USB drives. One of them mounted. I found that this one was formatted in FAT. Since this is a small 2Gb drive that cannot hold the ROM, I found another drive that was formatted in ExFAT that also loaded correctly.
I loaded the ROM as suggested and now the phone is working again.
My guess is that the phone can't read NTFS file format in emergency recovery mode.
Thank you!!!

Yes, NTFS is not supported very well on Android. Use just FAT32, that should work fine. ExFAT also works only somewhere....

What did you use to kill the SwiftKey process? It's not installed as an app on my phone.

In that case you probably don't have SwiftKey installed - it is not installed by default But if Play Store doesn't download and Google account sync doesn't work for you, it may be some different app causing the deadlock. You should go thru all apps and force closing them one by one...when you kill the problematic process, Play Store will start downloading immediately. You can do it from Settings - Apps, or use some app for that.
I really appreciate your help.
I forcefully disabled all apps but the problem remained.
