Is anyone else with a T-Mob 6T have an issue with dialing out calls? Phone got a small OTA and updated the SYSTEM Phone app from the play store and then just broke. Can't swipe to contacts from inside the app, causes it to crash and crash and force stop. Thank God have Google contacts on as a backup. But even from dialing out from Google contacts it takes up to 7 tries to get a call to actually dial. Typically I need to do a full power down and up to get a call to go out. I have no mods yet on the phone, just unlocked from T-Mob I didn't even flash my unlock token yet since this began. Was going to this past weekend until this happened and I wanted to make sure I had no issues before going forward with twrp and magisk. First time poster been waiting a long time to finally get my feet wet here, probably won't answer until am EST since I have work early.
Thank you and hope this post wasn't a big ramble.
It's fixed. No OTA update from T-Mobile. Guessing it was on Google's end. Clear Play Store cache/data. I can confirm now through SafetyNet Test, the 6T passed. Yesterday it did not, and clearing the cache/data did not work. Today it does. I'm getting app updates now as I type.

Ok well calling is working so far but still crashes when I swipe to contacts. Tried clearing all caches also. Weird stuff and my phone passes safetynet. Will update if I can find a work around or a way to make it work again.
Try uninstalling the built-in Visual Voicemail app and installing the one from the Play Store. Someone reported that cured their phone app crash issue.

Alright I am sorry if this is a stupid question but I really need help, I live where there is almost no service. We use a Microcell and I basically rely on wifi for updating and downloading apps. My Galaxy s4 was rooted with casual and every time I try to download an app or update it gives me an error number which I have googled. I followed one guys steps which basically sent my phone in a frenzy he said to force stop play store delete cache and data then do the same with google services framework. Then if that didn't work to uninstall updates to playstore which I did. After I attempted this my playstore would keep blacking out and I would get a message that the google play store suddenly stopped. Even after I restarted my phone it did the same thing. This would be on all screens so I couldn't do hardly anything because that popup would keep showing up, even after the restart. So I did a factory reset and lost all my apps which I knew would happen but I didn't know what else to do. After the reset my playstore updated its self but it's still not downloading apps from wifi. If I use data it will though. Could this have to do with my ISP or is it a google play store issue? My other family members who have android phones are having the same issue. Also my ISP is currently having issues with youtube don't know if that could be a clue since both our owned by google. If there is a mod I could do since my phone is rooted to fix this let me know. Sorry for the long question just disheartening to go through all this work and still can't download or update apps from wifi.
Do you have any adblock apps installed?
I do not, and neither does any of my family members. I think it may be some firewall that time warner has put up because playstore, youtube and when I was working on my website with wordpress, it wasn't working either.
I have a sprint galaxy s5. Ive had this problem for about a month and the only thing i havent tried is coming here. The push notifications are not coming through on any app unless the phone is on wifi or i leave an app running on the screen while im away. Ive check all the settings, had sprint look on their side, factory reset, took it to a sprint store, and than had it replaced with another S5. After the first day with the new phone it worked fine until i went to sleep and it updated to 4.4.4 over night. The following day the same problem, no push notifications on data. I went to a samsung video chat and they said it was a bug and wait for the 5.0 update. Well......its here and im still waiting for my friends test email and facebook message to come through.
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

If you're rooted maybe this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer
could fix your issues. There is an app for non rooted devices too, but I doubt that it works as good.
I'm not rooted and tried the other app you recommended with no luck. I decided since the 5.0 update came through to factory reset the phone. I sent a test to my gmail and installed whatsapp to see if notifications would come through and I've had no luck. Looks like another trip to the sprint store for another phone.

Maybe you have Restrict Background Data checked. It wont give any notifications on Sim network till the app is open. Did you check this out? Push notifications are coming easy on the WiFi and not on mobile data.
I have tried the restrict background data, toggling it on and off and I also checked data usage for apps and none are restricted. Everything is fine on wifi but not on data, app has to be running on the screen to update if i'm not connected to a wifi. I've looked through different forums and many reported the issue fixed because the APN needed changed, but Sprint will not let me configure it. I've been through their tech team and everything seem right on their end.
I've got the A2017U with the stock Nougat update. Unlocked bootloader, but not rooted. I got through the Verizon quirks, and seem to have voice and data connected again. Doesn't look like I'm connected to LTE though. Phone information only shows CDMA/EVDO information, and Voice Network is 1xRTT.
I can get by with that for now. My main concern is that I'm having trouble in the Play Store. Background app updates seem to be working, but when I manually try to update, or install a new application, I get Waiting for Network.
I tried clearing data and cache from the Play Store and Download Manager applications. That didn't help. I disabled the Play Store, and it reverts back to what they call the "factory version". I can then quickly update or get an application before the Play Store updates itself which gives me that error again.
I saw a thread on this on a Sprint message board from a few years ago, but the solution was to wait for an update sent from Sprint.
Anyone else see this issue?
Thanks,
Paul
I just started seeing this today. No idea what caused it. I tried installing a new app over 4G and it got stuck on "Waiting for network" even though I was connected to the internet with browsing, Inbox, Hangouts and Whatsapp all working fine. I connected to wifi and same issue. Cleared cache and data, rebooted and same issue on both 4G/wifi.
Thanks for your suggestion about disabling and enabling as I now have my new app installed and other apps updated.
Recently I've noticed some bugs with the 7.1.1 update relating to mobile data. Stops working randomly and the signal icon keeps losing the "4G LTE" portion even if I'm connected.

I have the same problem which I noticed this morning. Tried all suggestion about clearing data, cache, etc. but nothing worked. Hoping someone has a fix.
I am having this problem as well. Thought it had to do with me switching carriers today but apparently not. Hopefully a fix is released soon.
I'm also having this issue today. I'm on Verizon. Everything else seems to work. But, even on WiFi I can't get anything from the play store.
Edit:. Disabling the play store and then renabling it (reverting back to previous version) fixed the issue for now.
I just came here to post the same question?? Just noticed it about 30 minutes ago.
[EDIT] I disabled and rolled back to the previous version, still didn't work for me. I also updated to the newest one (from March 6th) I found here on XDA, still didn't work.
Disabling and reverting the Play Store worked for me. Stock install on Cricket running 7.1.1 in the USA.
It started working again about an hour ago?
[UPDATE]
Woke up this morning, not working again.
I've rolled back, tried other versions, nothing works for me.
still same on me. tried wipe data, deactivate and activate bla bla. still same.
Go on your mobile to apps and then google play store, then choose uninstall updates, it will revert back to the old app store, and then it should work again.
Been having this SAME as exact problem since Nougat. My phone is completely STOCK though.
Everything I've tried is just a temporary fix. after play store updates automatically the problem happens again and I can't download anything. Updates happen randomly when my phone is sleep.
Very annoying
Got the same problem here in Thailand with the G model.
Revert the play market to inițial version and all will be ok. This problem îs from Google

Also the problem is not happening on other phones in my same local network. The problem is specific to the Axon 7 (well I guess possibly others too, but not other phones I have.)

OK based on some information in a similar thread on the ZTE forums, I think the deal is this: going (via Settings - Apps) to the Google Play app, and then clicking the upper-right "three dot" menu to get the "Uninstall Updates" option allows you to revert back to an older revision (7.2.13). That revision works.
The problem is that, in the background, something really wants to keep the Play app up to date. If you're not quick enough to get it open and start downloading, you'll be back to the bad update.
Same issue "Waiting for network" hit my A7 last night out of the blue. On AT&T network. All other Android devices in house use GP Store with no issues. Been on Nougat since day one with pretty much no issues.
No idea why this happened. Quite frustrating.
Have you tried going to Settings/Apps, select Google Play Store, go to Storage (or similar, I have a non-english phone) and clear the cache there? This solved the same issue on my phone. It's strange that clearing the cache didn't help in other instances.
I started running into this last night with my Azon 7, too. Stock 7.1.1, T-Mobile, also tried on wifi. Clearing the Play store cache didn't help. Uninstalling updates for the Play store works briefly, then I get the same error (presumably because the updates to the store have reinstalled), and I have to uninstall Play store updates again to update again.
I've tried the cache trick, the uninstall tricks, nothing works long term. I'm stumped as to why we all started seeing this happen around the same time. What changed to trigger it??
I received my phone a few days ago brand new, updated the firmware to 21s, and experienced an overheating issue so I thought doing a factory reset may help before trying to return it possibly for a new one.
However, once I reset the phone, I cant seem to get my google account to sync properly anymore.
The play store doesnt show any of my installed apps and doesnt show that any of my apps need updates either, though if I manually search for the app in the store, it will allow me to update it that way. Syncing my google apps like mail etc seem to be very slow, and I usually have to manually refresh to get new mail.
The biggest issue though is the play store is trying to charge me for every app Ive ever purchased. If I go into settings then purchase history in the play store app, I can see the list of all the apps Ive ever purchased and what I paid for them. When I click the view link which takes me to that app, its showing full price and tries to get me to pay for it. The only workaround I have found is going to the website store, and choosing to manually download the paid app to the phone which seems to work.
Ive tried everything I can think of to fix this. I made sure the google play store and google play services had the latest version. Ive gone into all the google apps and cleared the data and rebooted. Ive tried removing my google account from the phone settings and Ive factory reset my phone three more times and the issue persists.
I have contacted Google support multiple times over 4 -5 hours yesterday which was a nightmare and the reps are extremely unhelpful trying to tell me I must be doing something wrong like logging in with a different account or that the problem lies with the developers of the apps and I need to contact them directly (like I need to contact 100 different app developers to see why theyre trying to charge me for apps again...?) Ive tried telling them I can still access all my paid apps on my old phone and the web browser shows all my purchases as well.
The only thing I can think of is some Google config file or something is remaining on the phone between factory resets which is causing the phone not to connect fully with Google services. The phone isnt rooted, I didnt want to do that in case I had to return the phone due to the overheat issue I had.
Anyone have any possible idea what is causing this? Prior to doing the first factory reset, all my google services worked fine. It was only after doing the first reset I ran into this issue and Google has no clue whats going on and it doesnt help the reps that contact me usually reply with general troubleshooting that has nothing to do with my issue
The paid apps now showing up as paid was definitely a bug i encountered when I first got the phone. I don't quite remember how I solved it. I think I may have just uninstalled/reinstalled google play services and rebooted a few times. After a few hours, every app was showing up properly. I wouldn't bother contacting the app devs or google again, it's definitely something that can be solved by messing with the phone.
I believe the cause of this was the version of the Google play store. It happened to me the first time I set the phone up. I've sideloaded a newer version of the play store and then it behaves like normal.
I have a rooted Nexus 6p. A few weeks ago I flashed the factory images of Android 8.0 Oreo to my 6p. Flashed TWRP and rooted with magisk. For about a week or so everything was fine...then approximately 72 hours ago I could no longer receive text messages from anyone. I can send texts just fine I just can't receive them. I have full bars of service with 4g LTE. I can surf the web, use Facebook and any other app requiring data. I can make and receive phone calls.
I've tried everything. Removed the sim, rebooted, checked APN settings, cleared cache, wipe data, tried various different SMS apps. I even wiped the device and reflashed Oreo via fastboot again. Nothing.
I called TMobile they have no idea what's wrong. I called Google and they were of no assistance.
I'm going to try and flash the last nougat factory images later from Google and see if that helps. Before I do that I wanted to see if anyone here could offer some suggestions I haven't already thought of.
Thanks!

I would go get a new SIM provisioned for your phone at TMo for free. Are you pre-paid or post-paid?
I was planning on it. However around 0930 this morning all of my missing text messages came flooding in. SMS seems to be working fine now. Would still love to know the trigger of this issue.

Cool. Likely a carrier/plan issue.
You didn't happen to have an Ad Blocker installed? I had the same issue on a different phone, and that was the culprit.

Yes. I use adaway and adguard. Never had an issue with them not allowing me to receive texts. I'm also running both right now and sms is working fine.
Did you restore messages with titanium backup? If so make sure you have switched messaging back to the default app. Had the same happen to me.

Well adaway definitely was blocking my SMS. As soon as I removed it and rebooted phone the msgs came flooding in.

Adaway is a host file fetcher. It has nothing to do with SMS and does not interfere with it. Try it again. It's the best one out there.
