The Market has been very unstable as of late. I have like 105 apps installed. Sometimes it shows 64 sometimes 42. Before the latest update, I was able to delete market data and cache and it would find all of the apps again, but the newest Market doesn't offer that option.
I have done an exhaustive search on this issue and have found very little. Can anyone offer any help?
It's glitching and not reading apps moved to sd as installed. Restart the market and/or clear it's cache. Sometimes that fixes it for me. Other times a reboot helps.

You could try wiping data on the Market app from Titanium Backup.
If you've got TB pro, you could also run the Market Doctor.

You can't clear cache or data any more, hence my problem.

That worked - THANKS!!!
Why the hell did they remove it through the normal apps management screen.

I'm not sure, myself, but I'm glad you're back in business!
So today I noticed something when I rebooted, all of my apps are out of their folders in the app drawer, for example I have a folder called social networking and the two apps facebook and facebook messenger will come out of that folder every time I restart the phone. I've tried clearing cache and data on tw launcher, and powering off and on but none of these help, anyone else experiencing this issue?
Edit: Tried a factory reset, this did not fix the issue, apps are still coming out of their folders on a force close of tw launcher or a reboot of the phone. This is annoying as hell!

noticed this too with root.
Not sure if it is just me, but widget locker will not open since I updated, it tries to open and then opens the play store on the widget locker page. I have tried uninstalling and clearing data, but no change.
I am stock, rooted no other mods.

Same here
You have to enable it first. Settings> Security > check enable widgets.

NO this a lock screen replacement not a widget, but my lock screen widgets are activated any way.

The app hasn't been updated since October. But I think it's ROM related.
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4
Couldn't get the screen shot to attach
No issues here been using it instead of chrome and it's been great. Try to go into app settings and clearing cache.

Turned the phone off and back on and that worked.
I have a problem with play store: if i download an app from it, it remains stuck at 100% downloaded but it doesn't install... it needs sometimes even 3 or 4 minutes to start installation. Same thing for uninstall... I have just tried to clear play store memory (cache + memory) and play services memory but it doesn't help...
Seems i have found the problem... i have uninstalled and re installed nova launcher and now it seems to work perfectly... i think that's something related to "add shortcuts in home pages" in play store settings...
It already happened to me on my former phone. But I solved the problem by rebooting the phone
Problems persist... i've done a factory reset but nothing: sometimes it's impossible to install/uninstall applications from Play Store, the progress bar of download stuck at 100% but the app won't install... sometimes it needs some minutes, sometimes it's just instantly... it's something play store server related? If i try to uninstall app from touchwiz it's simply instantly even if however, if go to app list in play store, the app i've just uninstalled is still present in the apps list... .
I noticed that sometimes even the manual update of phone firmware doesn't work and the "checking update page" appears sometimes instantly ans sometimes after some minutes...
Same problems here. Noticed the same when requesting system update for the gear s3 from the phone. Also happening on my tab s3...

Have you tried to update Google play services? And play store to the latest version. Do both of these then boot to recovery and wipe cache and reboot.

Fingers crossed
Some apps have permissions to draw over screen and we need to disable this permission for apps to install correctly. I had a similar issue on my previous phone where the apps were stuck at 99% installation and then just dropped off. I had to literally disable 'Screen overlay' for almost each app for play store to install correctly.
Also, If you are able to sideload apks without any issues then it may be a play store related issue.
Hiya.
I have the same issue, and have for around 1 week now. Only with PlayStore, sideloading works fine
Has someone found a solution for this? I have noticed that sometimes it installs apps without any problems and sometimes remains stuck also for minutes! I can't realize what causes these slow down... maybe is something related to play store servers?
I have the same problem with 100% download and no install afterwards.
But at the same time I noticed two other problems:
- Badge Notification is not working - I don't see the "badge" on app's icon, when I receive messages.
- boon payment app is not working; when I touch screen to activate payment process (NFC chip), it supposed to countdown 60 s, but nothing happens.
I don't know if this is part of same problem. However I've tried - without success:
- reboot phone
- clear data/cache Google Play Store
- clear data/cache Google Play Services
- clear data Badge Provider
- clear data/cache TouchWiz
- reboot to recovery and clear cache
I think there is some process that should be reset (clear)... Any other suggestions? I'd try factory restore as very, very, very last option.

I've tried factory reset (2 times), but didn't help...
Having same issue with S8 and Tab S3. Also notifications are delayed for random amount of time. Some lag and connection timeouts with different applications, not all though.
Tried factory reset couple times, it fixed the problems for a while but after 1-2 hours they came back. Checked with safe mode if some 3rd party app is causing this. Issues remained in safe mode too.
Got it to work for now by clearing cache and data from Google Framework Services and Google Play Store. Lastly removed and re-added my Google account, rebooted device and wiped cache partition.
Notifications are now on time, Play store starts install instantly.
Still afraid that this is only a temporary fix, waiting to see if these problems arise again after few hours of usage.
Seems there is an issue with Google services on some Samsung devices, mainly running Nougat 7.0
