Hello,
Since october 2015 I've a Oneplus 2. From day one I've problems with the Play store.
1. Apps won't update
2. Apps won't download
3. Errors (like Connections not possible, download stays in a kind of stase)
4. When the downloads are possible, it takes a very long time
Sometimes when the phone is charging (at night) the apps are all updated.
Sometimes it even works normally.
All tips and tricks I could find, I executed. But problems stays. Even a factory reset and hard reset did not work.
On this moment (after a hard reset) I'm not able to download any app.
Who can help, besides throwing the phone out of the window?
With kind regards,
Ron van Liempt

I don't know why I'm having this problem but at least twice a day I have to soft reset my phone because of a program not closing or opening "hanging" the phone in state where nothing works. I also have to soft reset because of bluetooth problems. Sometimes the phone will tell me that it doesn't have bluetooth hardware or I won't be able to open the bluetooth window to turn it on or off or discoverable. Then I must reset to get it to work. What a pain! These problems are driving me nuts and I don't know what to do about it. I am considering abandoning this phone because of it's unreliability but it has so many features that it's hard to let it go. Please help me!
First of all - don't abandon the phone; this is NOT normal behavior for this PDA/phone and there should be a solution to your problems. I have had this phone (i-mate) for months, and it has always been stable and trustworthy.
Next, it would be helpful for you to post your current ROM information - (Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information)
Next, list the programs you have installed.
Have you tried Hard Resetting the device (after backing it up) and using it for a while without installing ANY additional software? This will tell you if the base hardware/software is performing correctly. If that works, try installing any additional software ONE AT A TIME and using the device for a while after each one to make sure that one works. Then, if that one is OK, install the next one. This should pinpoint any software that causes the problems.
Let us know the results of your tests.
1. When did you last HardReset? - Sometimes a few hours of work make your life really better! :lol:
2. What's the ROM version? - Possibly you should upgrade.
3. Did you notice that you are using WindowsMobile2003 - usage of internet connection with WindowsXP without a couple of restarts never happened to me, so I don't expect Windows Mobile work with more stability! :wink: Kidding!
Conclusion: don't give up the phone - you just have to make clear what goes wrong! Good luck!
Nope, not normal usage. I've been using my i-mate for 2 weeks without a hard reset now, but just today it hard resetted on me (due to wisbar advance 2.) I'm not sure how wisbar does it, but it always gives me problems w/ it installed.
my observations
I'm a new user of the XDA I, and I find that I haven't had any unexpected hard resets yet (fingers crossed) but that I do need to soft reset at least once per day, usually to get the machine to (re)connect thru ActiveSync...
I only get the dreaded, continious soft reset problem when I install loads of crappy software.
Have you installed any share/freeware latetely.
If so only a hard reset will fix it.
SoftResets are tolerated, HardReset - once upon 2-3 months. If more often or auto - change the ROM. Auto HardReset happened to me twice - always after flashing.
I've had my Galaxy Tab (Verizon edition) now for under a week. Naturally, that means I've been installing apps on it every day.
Last night an issue cropped up that turns out to be a deeper problem than I thought.
To start, I'd randomly see a force close for the built-in Google Maps app. Force closes aren't necessarily unusual, but this was force closing every 10 seconds or so. And it wasn't running. No sign of it in any of the task manager or application manager or running services areas. Yet, it was crashing.
(Don't worry, the fun doesn't end there.)
So, I suspected the last couple of apps I installed and uninstalled them (more on this later). The problem didn't go away. Around this time, other apps started crashing randomly -- often without a force close (much more like how iOS apps crash -- a return to the home screen).
The crashing always coincides with a single short vibrate then a triple-vibrate about 5 seconds later when the app closes or the force close dialog comes up. This happens in nearly any app -- from the home screen (less common) to the Browser, maps, settings, gmail, 3rd party apps, etc.
But wait, there's more...
I wasn't observant enough the first time to notice that the suspected apps were never uninstalled. Now no app will actually install. When I perform the uninstall, everything seems fine. Until I reboot. Then the app is back, fully functional.
None of the apps are installed to the SD card. The device is not rooted. The device claims just over a gigabyte of internal memory free, and slightly under half the SD card free.
Anyone see any of this behavior? I'm hoping to avoid doing a factory reset -- while also unsure that it would even do anything if something else is wrong. And the two issues (crashing and uninstalls-not-sticky) aren't necessarily related.
This isn't my first Android device, either... I haven't seen this or anything like it on the G1, N1, Droid, Evo, Archos, or any other device, for that matter.
Thoughts? Ideas? Musings? Questions?
[Update: Device was replaced. If it wasn't a hardware problem, it was still good enough to prompt the retailer to replace it. They easily accepted, "The factory reset doesn't work." as a reason.)
Sounds to me like there is something wrong with the internal memory chip. I would return the device within the DOA warranty if I were you.
Seems that it probably is a hardware issue.
I tried a factory reset (which appears to be a very convenient way to boot in to recovery mode, BTW) and it was only able to delete a portion of data. All of the apps are still there, all the data, etc. (The SD card aside, the factory wipe doesn't touch that.)
So, back it goes for exchange!
I just started having the same problem today and I have not installed any new apps although I did update date my existing apps a few days ago. My phone is rooted but by your discription that's not the cause.
I did reset my phone and I formated my SD memory. I also use a code that I found to reset the phone to factory and reset everything. Non of this has solved the problem.
I'm still trying and I'll let you know it I have any positive results.
I'm on a Galaxy S Vibrant with 2.2 Firmware, Froyo and a 2.6.32.9 kernel
Hey guys, just got the tablet for a couple of days but i have found alot of issues with it, i have read nearly everything on this forum but just cant apply any fixes to my problems. I will list down the issues hope any of you guys might be able to help.
1. GPS does not work even with wifi on or off, dosent matter cant find any satalites whatsoever.
2. Update issue, maybe its just Australia but from reading the forums in regards to whos got what updates and such, it seems like most Australians are not getting any updates.
3. I cant do a hardware reset unless im doing it wrong? i put a pin into the reset button and held it for awhile and it didnt do anything.
You've made a soft reset. To hard reset you need to do this:
http://how2fix.org/hard-reset-acer-iconia-tab-a500-to-factory-settings.html
Reset Acer Iconia Tab A500 Factory Data Reset via Software Menus
From the Apps menu, tap on Settings, and then tab Privacy.
Tap on Factory Data Reset, and then tab Reset Tablet.
Tap Erase Everything to format your tablet back to factory default configuration.

I don't have any issues with GPS or updates. It updated immediately upon first boot during the setup wizard. May be the first time you start your GPS app, you need to wait a little longer - it took almost 10 minutes in my case. Go outdoors and wait a little longer. Best case is if its sunny, no high buildings around and you're not moving.
ahh i see but whats the difference between a soft reset and a hard reset? and yea i tried that i was outside for nearly 30mins and its still "searching for gps" and i dont live near any big bulidings
Soft reset is just rebooting your devise (like the reset button on a PC case). Hard reset restores the device in its original factory settings (i.e. in the state you got it the first time).
What kind of navigation software are you using? I use Sygic Aura 3 - it works pretty good on this device and its an offline navigation - once it downloads the maps through wifi it does not need internet connection. It still has some issues with tablets though - in landscape the lowest menu buttons are 80% off the screen but still "pressable".
i tried using copiolt and the normal navigation that came with the tab, and also downloaded GPS status but the gps couldnt even pick up any statelites
This wasn't a problem until I updated the phone a while after I got it. When I go to the play store and download a new app, it shows "downloading" with the weird fragmented bar moving across the progress bar, but the download refuses to start for like 5 minutes to sometimes several hours or a day. I've turned off every power and data saving mode I could find and it still does this. Factory reset, force stop, clear cache, clear data on all google play related apps (yes, including the system apps), and it WON'T STOP DOING IT.
Haven't had this issue on my Z3Z but I have had this issue on my Nexus 7 tablet once or twice. It randomly resolved itself I don't remember how. You can try deleting your google account, uninstalling all the play store and google play updates and reinstalling them. That may help.
Good luck.
I have this issue too and have been unable to resolve it.
I have the same issue. I'm to the point where I simply leave them be and eventually they download and updates. It sometimes works if I restart the download, reboot the phone, switch from wifi to data to wifi again, things like that.
This might be overkill, but ever since I factory reset the phone I no longer have this issue

Try clearing the cache of the google play store app in settings, if not then all its data. Also, if you just upgraded to Nougat it would be wise to make a factory reset (in recovery mode) to clean up the residual Marshmallow files, if you don't feel comfortable with that, then at least clear your device's cache and Dalvik (in recovery mode)
I'm having a bunch of problems, most of it seems to be related, but i'm not sure. I was having these problems in android 9, and they persisted after i made the update to 10.
The main problem is that I cannot update or install the apps from Google Play store reliably. The download gets stucked with 'Download pending' or somewhere between 90-99%. My connection is fine, no network problems whatsoever. The same problem happens in many wifi networks and in mobile connection. Sometimes, after rebooting the phone a lot of times, i can install 1 or 2 apps before getting stuck again.
I tried to force stop/wipe data from download manager, google play services, google play store and did not help. In fact, now is buggier than ever, and i got a permanent play store notification with a never ending progress bar saying "Concluindo a configuração" (portuguese for finishing configuration).
Other minor issues:
a lot of times I do not get any messages/notifications until I unlock my phone. My whatsapp web stop working, then I unlock my phone and start to receive 4875389475 messages.
Sometimes google app notify me of some news, i click the notification and nothing happens. HOURS LATER, the news shows up in my screen when i'm doing something else.
The Google Calendar widget does not show the content on the home screen (keeps saying 'loading'), but if I open the app, it works ok (inside the app, not in the widget).
I can't sync time with my carrier (always worked on every phone). But time is correct, nonetheless
Anyone having problems like these? Any solution? I don't know more what to do =(
Try doing any one or all of these depending on if one fixes it over the other:
1. Boot into recovery mode (power + volume up + bixby buttons) and do a factory data reset. This will erase everything on the phone.
2. No dice? Find out your bootloader version and flash the stock firmware you're on with Odin. This will also erase everything on the phone.
3. Still nothing? Well then it's time to claim warranty!
