Hangouts stopped working - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have updated to the last version and it worked fine for a while. I didn't touch any other settings. Now Hangouts just won't work anymore, it simply won't connect. I tried wiping cache and app data, unistalled the update and reinstalled, restarted my phone, nothing works. Did Google change something on their server? I even enabled every Google app I had previously disabled and restarted phone to see if it will help, but it didn't. I do have some other apps disabled but can't see how they could even be related to Hangouts. What to do?

Sigh - having problem with the Market

This is one of the reasons that I hate installing new ROMs and restoring data, it never seems to work correctly. I just installed the newest CleanGB (which I love btw). I restored the data and the app "Point Inside" was showing that it needed to be updated, however it didn't have an update option when I went into it.
I tried clearing the Market cache but that option doesn't seem to exist any more (button is grayed out). I have rebooted my phone, uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, and it is still happening. The minute I reinstall it, it shows there is an update available, but there is none available.
Any ideas??? This is really getting to me now.
It will clear up in a day or two. I get that once in awhile on an app then the next day it's gone.

[Q] Google Play Store won't update apps

When I try to update apps in the Google Play Store, it says, "Downloading" and displays the progress bars, but doesn't actually download anything.
I'm using a rooted Nexus 7 with stock ROM (no mods).
Things I have tried
I have tried clearing data and cache for the Google Play Store and Google Play Services, with and without wifi enabled.
I have tried uninstalling updates for the Google Play Store (how do I reinstall them?).
I have tried removing my Google account and adding it again.
I have tried powering down and restarting -- this causes the Play Store to download for about 5 seconds after I start back up before it stalls again.
I have verified that the wifi connection works just fine.
Other oddities
When I tried to install the recent OTA update, It didn't work (google android on his back with the message, "Error!"), but restarting the device seemed to return everything to normal again. This has happened twice now, and I don't know how to solve it.
Occasionally, the play store will start actually downloading the updates for a minute or two (enough to get several updates at once). Then is stops as suddenly as it started.
Same thing here since I moved to PURITY, then I just moved back to PA 4.0 beta still same problem.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So a couple things.
First off, do you have a custom bootloader? it seems as you don't as the Android on his back is the stock, but I just wanted to check
Have you ever tried installing an update one at a time? sometimes when I start to receive updates for apps, it just sits there indefinitely, but when I stop all updates and manually go into each app that needs updating and update, that works. I would give that a try
I think I fixed my problem.
I cleared data/cache of Google Play Store in #Settings #Apps #All
But I had to do it multiple time time before it accepted to download again.
And also at one point I formatted the sdcard but still wouldn't download so I tried again multiple times to clear data of Google Play Store.
Now it keeps updating all my apps (update all).

Mobile data times out everywhere but the Play Store

So I tried restoring Word on my phone and Titanium Backup froze as it does sometimes. So I killed it, but word somehow installed anyway. I uninstalled and rebooted the phone (during boot it said optimizing application) ever since then my mobile data doesn't work. When I go anywhere the connection times out. In play store tho I can search apps etc and view their pages just not download them which is weird. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I tried resetting APN settings, restarted a dozen times, cleared DNS in Chrome.
I have a S7 Edge with Hydra ROM. I have a feeling cuz Word was a system app it might've screwed up something, but not sure what as WiFi works fine.

Google play and whatsapp suddely crashing

Hello,
something weird is happening here. It has been a few days that every time I run the play store, it immediately crashes. I tried every solution I have found online to fix the play store, but had no luck. In particular, if I delete data, cache and updates, sometimes I can get it to work, but only for few minutes.
What is really weird is that also WhatsApp started to crash about the same day, but only when I open certain specific chats (i.e., I can access the app and chat with some people but not others). They may be unrelated, but it looks funny.
Everything else works perfectly as usual. I'm running stock oreo, rooted, with adaway and substratum. Tried to disable both as they may interfere, but the problem persists. Any idea?
EDIT: disabling the whole substratum theme seems to solve the problem. Only disabling the overlay of the single apps as usual is not enough.
EDIT2: after clearing all the overlays and having rebuilt them, everything works. I guess just updating every time can mess up something. Better clean everything and rebuild every now and then.
I have the EXACT same symptoms. I had restored/reset everything for the last two weeks. Initially it worked until the reset. While WhatsApp & Play Store appear fine, Substratum will no longer connect to Andromeda. I've uninstall/reinstall, rebooted, latest APK for Substratum but nothing works - Substratum will no longer start. Always the same - 'verification has failed; force close sub or reinstall addon'. Tried everything I could google and nothing works.
No pirated apps, in US (no vpn), debugging ticked (andromeda), USB debugging enabled (S8), ADB enabled, Andromeda.bat enabled, android driver current.
Any new ideas?

Multiple problems-Notifications delayed, Play Store downloads stuck, Some apps broken

Hi, I have a Galaxy S10+ on Verizon in the USA.
Having a few major problems that I just can't figure out:
1. When I try to download apps from the Play store, the download gets to 99 or 100% but never completes the installation. The fix is to go into settings/apps/show system apps/download manager and "force stop." Then the installation will complete.
2. Some apps don't work correctly. For example the CBS Radio News app starts streaming audio, then stops a few seconds later. And the ParKing app sometimes records my location upon disconnection from my car's bluetooth, and sometimes it doesn't.
3. Notifications from all apps are totally unreliable. Sometimes they'll come right away. Sometimes not for hours, and sometimes all at once. And sometimes when tapping on a notification it will bring you into the app. while sometimes it will do nothing.
WHAT I TRIED:
Tried rebooting, clearing data and cache on problem apps.
Cleared data and cache on "Google", Google Play Store and google play services.
Cleared phone's cache partition.
Uninstalled and reinstalled broken apps.
I THOUGHT I FOUND THE SOLUTION:
All these problems went away a month or so ago when I logged out of my google account on the phone. Iogged back in and it all worked great! I thought the problem was solved, but now it's all happening again. Logged of the the google account and back in, but it's still broken this time.
AND:
I had similar problems with my Galaxy S7, and thought the new phone would fix these problems! Is it possible there's something wrong with my google account? How could I have the same problems on both phones?
I haven't yet tried a factory reboot on the S10+, but I did do it on the S7, and after working for a while, the problems came back.
Additional info:
Mobile data and wifi have strong signals.
No custom ROMs, not rooted or anything, just stock the way it came. Only downloaded apps from Play Store. Nothing sideloaded.
All battery optimization is turned off. Power mode set to "high performance."
I've looked everywhere for a solution and have come here to the ultimate experts. You're my last hope!
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
