Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my Android wear app. First Devices: lg g watch r and a Xperia z1 compact with cyanogenmod 12.
When i open the Android wear app on the phone it says that it have to be updatet by deinstalling and reinstalling from the play store. And of course that doesnt work. I cant use the app because only the massage is showing and redirecting to play store. The notification bar shows that the phone is connected to the watch, but if i tap on the watch and see the menu it shows no connection to the watch. I already tried a factory Reset at the watch and of course deleting the wear app and reinstalling it.
I hope you could help me.
Thx spigandromeda
I think i figured out the problem. The apk which is provided through the play store is not the most actual. But it also does not help to simply install a newer one... The app seems to check the version which is provided to me in the play store.
Does anybody have an idea for forcing the play store to provide a newer apk?

Recently, I tried to manually install some updates for applications on my Nexus 4 running stock and unrooted Android 4.2.1. As soon as I selected "Update All," Google Play immediately closed. There wasn't a fade-out animation like you would see when hitting the home button; it just closed and the home screen appeareared right away. There wasn't a "Google Play is not responding" dialogue, it just closed and wouldn't work.
From then, I tried opening Google Play again, and the app would launch, but then close right away before I get to see any activities. I cannot open Google Play, and I don't know why. I am running Play Store 3.10.10, which I believe is the latest version. I can successfully open Google Play again going to its App Info, selecting 'Force stop' and then 'Clear data'. After that, I am prompted to accept Google Play's terms and services, as if opening it for the first time. I can then use Google Play normally, but it closes again as soon as I try to install or update an app. What's going on?
Update
I contacted Google directly, and the solution to my problem involved these steps:
1. Clear data/cache for Google Play, Google Services Framework, and Download Manager
2. Restart Phone
I then had another issue displaying installed apps in the Play Store (it appeared blank). To solve that issue, I had to remove my Google account, restart the phone, then re-add my Google account, and it works again!
You can try to install the factory version of Play again by using the .apk in system/app. I don't exactly know which app, but Phonesky.apk has the Google Play logo

I tried rolling back to the factory default, but my problem persists. I wonder if it's a connection problem; I am in China by the way. I am using a home wifi network. I haven't been experiencing this problem for as long as I have been here, until yesterday. Perhaps when Play Store launches, it tries to connect to google, and then some sort of in-app command forces it to close because it got scared of something!
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.
Hey
The title says it all
I installed smartwatch application from play store on my N4 and i cant find it in app drawer
I installed many applications before and all of them are working and i can see them in app drawer
Any help ?
Thanks
You have to install the Smart Connect Application also. Did you not read the description of the Smart Watch Application on play store?
Guys sorry for new thread but my zenwatch is doing my nut in, since yesterday the ok Google doesn't work and even if I scroll across to app and I tap it it just says off line. My phone is connected to Internet and watch gets notifications ok it's just the Google side that's fu*ked.
Tried factory reset on watch and repairing but no joy.
Any help appreciated.
I have exactly the same problem with my moto 360 (2014)
Hopefully it´s working again soon
Hmmmm not sure to be happy or sad

Data gets stored for Android Wear in "Google Play Services," so even though you factory reset the watch, there may be something left over in the data stored in Google Play Services that's causing trouble.
I'm not sure if this would work, but you could try unpairing the watch from your phone, then go to your phone's Settings, and go to "Application Manager." Go to All apps, and then clear data /cache on Android Wear Companion App, then uninstall it.
Then clear data/cache on your Google App ( this one here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox ).
Now go down to "Google Play Services" and clear cache. Then go into Manage Space and clear All data which should get rid of any leftover Android Wear data.
Now factory reset the watch again.
Reboot your phone and reinstall Android Wear Companion App from the Play Store. Now pair your watch back up with with the phone and set it back up again, including setting the Google App back up. (Your phone and watch should pair up all of the Wear Apps that you left on the phone before you uninstalled Android Wear Companion App... though you may have to go into some of the wear apps to toggle some settings off/on again to get everything to work correctly.
Hopefully this will fix the problem with Ok Google not working. If it does - great... if not, you've not really lost anything. There also may be an easier way to fix this, so maybe someone else will chime in with other ideas.
Update.
I factory reset the watch and phone, and still the OK Google doesn't work and still says off line when I tap the Google icon in apps.
Notification working OK still.
If anyone has any other ideas please share

I know you factory reset the phone, but did you choose to allow Google to restore apps and data when you were setting it back up? It might have restored data back into Google Play Services. Also... did you ever try wiping cache and data in Google Play Services like I detailed above? I've had trouble with Google Play Services causing other syncing and pairing issues for me... so that's why I'm thinking you could try clearing that out as a possible solution.
If those steps don't fix things for you, it may be worth it to try to revert to an earlier version of the "Google App" and or the Android Wear app. You can get older versions of those apps from the website "APK Mirror."
Hey, thanks for your reply. I've tried all of the above. The back up I restored this time was from my tab s and still no joy. I may try again in a day or two and not restore from any device., though I'll probably wait until Wednesday just to see if it fixes itself.
Thanks again for your time.

Quick update just in case it saves someone factory reset their phone (which I did and didn't help).
I have a work note 2 so I installed android wear on it, reset the watch and still no ok Google functionality, so it must be something Google did.
Will post again when fixed, also my 42mm moto 360 arrives today so I'm hoping the issue is zenwatch specific, I'll let you know.

Update2.
So my new moto 360 42mm SmartWatch arrived and I love it, has steel band and looks fab.
Ok Google is working for queries and replying to messages if I try to instigate a message say whatsapp or text it can't find the contact, even though it recognises the speech.
Starting to lose faith with Google.

Hey,
i recently bought SuperDisplay and wanted to use it with my firetv but it's not working like it supposed 2. After sideloading and starting it just opens up and closes immediatly. What am i missing here? the Play store? is it even possible to install the playstore to the Fire TV Cube 2nd and if yes without root?
thanks in advance
Is no one able to help me out?
I don't know if its a paid app is not, but most of the apps on the play store rely on the Google Play Services which aren't available on FireTV.
It could be that its not compatible with the android version or display size.
It could also that the file is in splits, which some of the newer ones are, and you are pulling the base only and not the splits, which will DEFINITELY crash the app.
In any of the cases you have to provide the logcat. But my guess is the last one
