Is there a way to disable play store from automatically updating? I've already disable auto update in settings, but play store stills updates itself.
I really hate the single panel view of the newest version and want to keep it at its current version without having to uninstall the update everday
Thought I had the solution but doesn't work.

Last Night I went into system/applications menu and told it to disable music. The reason being I kept getting error from market not allowing me to update to google play music. It said uninstall the app first then hit market. Well there are no uninstall options there and well I disabled it and cant find it to enable the old one... how do I do that?
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 was able to sideload Lollipop OTA in my N4 and its running fine but I am having some annoying things
First, I am getting this constantly annoying notification that says "An application requires update". When I press it, I get the page of Google Play Services in the play store and it says that its updated. How can I get rid of this notification?
Second, I cannot use the face unlock feature. Its not there at all. I saw on the web that it was moved to the smart lock option but I don't see it in the Security tab of the settings. Either the feature was removed from N4 or the system update was not a success.
Did this happen to you?
Third, with all the fuss that Lollipop should be more battery saving system, I find it that it drains the battery really fast.
Those were some annoying issue from Day 01 of Lollipop!

I've had this annoying update notification from Google Play Services on a Nexus 5, though not on a nexus 4. This happened after I downloaded and installed the latest apk of play services from apkmirror. The problem was resolved after updating to the next version when it became available again from apkmirror. So try updating and if no update is available, try installing the stock version.
Thanks for clearing that out.
What about Face unlock and battery drain?
I have a particular APP (Sprint Zone) that I don't want the System or Google Play to auto update for me. However, I still want other APPs to get auto-updated. So I cannot simply turn-off Google Play auto-update.
Is there a method or tool that I can define a list of APPs that won't get updated in any case.
I am rooted.
Thanks.
Sprint Zone (which is now called MySprint) doesn't update through Google Play. It has its own update mechanism.
After flashing evry custom rom , google play store is often trying to update himself by downloadin latest google play store.Any body know how to stop this downloading/update ?
A quick google search will solve this issue. Go to Google play store settings and turn off automatic updates.

NO.
It will not solve his problem.
• The Auto Update option is for Apps (that are installed on our device)
• Not for the Playstore.
• He want to stop Playstore from auto-updating.
We can't stop Playstore from updating itself.

Oh...come on.
Atleat first try to understand my problem.
Google play store auto update is so annoying in Nougat/marshmallow.
Maybe we can delete it and replace with a very early version that doesn't phone home all the time?
And what the heck is Google play services for instant apps?

If I replace the google play store apps by earlier versions in system ....I think it also will try to update.
Though I will try.
Thanks Raymond. Can you please try this technique here:

Sorry if I came of as a bit rude and sorry for the late reply. I misunderstood your problem was apps auto-updating by themselves and not the google play store itself.
As for the play store auto-updating by itself, can't you restore to factory version in the app settings?
Just uninstall the update and back to playstore factory version.
