Play protect certification - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Since a few updates back the play store play protect certification says: 'device is not certified'. (play store > settings > scroll to bottom: Play protect certification )
Hence I cannot install some apps from play store (even after play store workaround of manually bypassing the play service framework id on google's website).
Anyways, my question is anybody else in same situation? Could it be because of using root (I had root in the past). My device is all stock. Any idea on how to fix this?
Thanks

I've had this happen in the past, but only while rooted and not "hiding" my root status. Usually force stopping and clearing stored data for the Play Store and Google Play Services then restarting the phone would fix it. Occasionally it took a little while before it updated the certification, but it was never more than 10 minutes or so.

[Q] Google Play Remote install problems

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.

google play store stops working?

Ever since I updated my N10 to the Nov patch, the google play store stops working --- I *can* start the play store app, look up new apps and be told about updates of existing apps, but everytime I try to install a new app and/or update an existing one the play store will crash.
My N10 is rooted and I locked it down pretty tightly using xprivacy etc. I also have titanium backup of an older play store (5.9.12 -- the current one is 5.10.30), and when I restored 5.9.12 I can resume installing new app and updating old ones, so I don't think it is an xprivacy issue (?). But play store updates itself very quickly and it gets tedious...
Does anyone else run into this problem? Solution? Thanks!
Bump: Am I the only one with this problem? It seems that restoring play store version 5.9.12 has stopped working...
I'm about to post a message on the google support forum, but first I want to see if I'm the only one affected by this (I have another phone running 4.4.2 for which the play store has stopped working as well)
I solved the problem by clearing the cache of the play store and reboot. Stupid mistake

[CM 12.1] Play Store freezing for anyone else?

Here's an interesting one. MOJO has been fine for the longest time, but all of a sudden I'm finding the system locking up and needing a hard reboot when using the Google Play store.
This has only happened twice, but both very recently and both only when using the Play store. I've had to switch off the unit at the socket as the system is completely unresponsive.
Anyone else had this? I note that the Play store version I have is 8.0.73, and upon checking there are no updates available to it. Thanks all.
I'm guessing no then!
Well, I've cleared the Play Store's cache as well as the Google Play Services one, and now it seems to be saying it will download and install a new version of the Play Store. It doesn't seem to be in any kind of rush to do this however.
No freezes since clearing the caches, so hopefully once the store is updated that will be the end of it. Looking at the versioning numbers on the internet and it does seem that 8.0.73 is an older Play Store. Fingers crossed this is resolved. Will post back later.
Yep had this issue my self it's due to google play services likely outdated and or play store too, you will need to get to a working stage and then get into google, then type google play services update choose the play store webpage link for that result in google and click install button on the page for the google play services update choose open with google play store, then install it. This happens to tonnes of outdated devices not just the mojo phones and tv boxes and tablets all go through it if out of date.
Actually I had been using the ROM for over a year before it happened. It's happened once since last posting in fact, but I notice that my Play store is up to date, and I also notice that the Play store seemingly updates on its own following a freeze. So I wonder if it is anything to do with that.
May possibly have solved this. Was still getting freezes upon exiting the Play Store even after a re-flash of CM12.1 with up to date GApps. The whole console would just freeze up on returning to the desktop, so that would involve pressing back to exit the Play Store until returning to the main screen. But this didn't happen all the time.
Then it dawned on me that it might be the bloody launcher I set as default home. I mentioned elsewhere that I'm using TopTV Launcher which I have really enjoyed. So I changed it to my favourite phone/tablet launcher - Nova.
Bugger me if it hasn't been absolutely fine since.
I'm going to keep hammering the Play Store for the next few days/weeks, as the freezes seemed to specifically occur when the Play Store was updating. But hopefully this is solved. /fingers crossed.
Lol no, crashes be back! Bit different on Nova Launcher. I exited the Play Store and then got "Unfortunately, Nova Launcher has stopped", rather than an outright freeze. Tried to re-select a different home/launcher, but got the same thing. "Trebuchet has stopped" etc. I had to fudge a route to the shutdown app by just pressing keys on my wireless keyboard, otherwise it was stuck in a loop. There's definitely something going on with Play Services imho. I've also tried clearing the cache and other solutions but to no avail. My Play Store is up to date too so it's not that.
The most interesting solution I've read so far is that Play Services gets jittery if it doesn't find certain apps installed, such as Maps etc. Now I do have a pretty pared down set installed. Maybe I'll try installing more Google apps, but isn't the point of rooting and flashing these devices so that you can control what you install? What's the point if I still end up installing all the crap I don't need anyway?
Still, I'll perhaps give it a go - or otherwise just throw either the MOJO or myself off a building!

5.9.028. google play services and google play problems and errors

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my Le Pro 3 X720 which I bought about a month or two after it was released. So, the problem is that one day (I don't remember when or what was it) I started getting notified that google play store has stopped working. I, stupidly, just ignored the problem because it didn't cause anything bad to my phone except that annoying notification, everything worked as usual. But after some time, my play store really stopped working and I couldn't download anything from it PLUS now I get notified that google play services stopped. Something like: "Sorry, Google Play Services stopped.", and when I try to enter my play store, I only get this: "Couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later." I tried various solutions: deleting cache, deleting data, uninstalling and reinstalling, I tried dozens of stuff and then decided to factory reset my phone, but that also didn't help, furthermore, now I dont even have Chrome, Youtube, Snapchat and stuff which are all connected to google play services. I have seen somewhere that I'm not the only one with that problem, and that especially happened with new EUI update 5.9.028s (Stable). I BEG YOU to help me A.S.A.P. because I can't afford buying a new phone right now and I need some google services for my job.
Hmm, I wonder if this has to do with the new uncertified Gapps mess. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-blocks-gapps-uncertified-devices-custom-rom-whitelist/
Basically, phones that are not certified for the Play Store will not be able to use Gapps. But you can whitelist your phone if you register its GSF ID. The x720 isn't certified for Google apps because it was never released internationally. It was only released in China. So the original stock ROM doesn't have Google apps. However, vendors create their own modified versions of the stock eUI ROMs with Google apps and less bloatware. Which means the phones aren't certified for Gapps since Gapps weren't loaded by the OEM, but a third party.
But all of this is speculation. And probably has nothing to do with your problem. The Gapps uncertified issue only affects ROMs with an Android build date of March 2018. If your build date is older, which is 100% the case here, you shouldn't be affected at all.
My x722 is "uncertified" according to the Google Play Store (see Play Store > Settings in Play Store menu, scroll to the bottom). Yet I can use Google apps just fine. I'm on 20s, unrooted with a locked bootloader. Basically, if you're certified you can pass SafetyNet. Which means you'll be able to use banking apps that detect root (and don't function if your device is rooted), you can find Netflix in the Play Store (as opposed to finding its apk elsewhere and installing it), and so on.
You might have to flash a custom ROM like LineageOS. Doing this is really easy. All you have to do is unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP (literally just a few commands) and then flash the ROM. LOS most likely already includes Gapps. Rooted devices can use Magisk and Magisk Hide to bypass SafetyNet. eUI is pretty terrible and I don't recommend it unless you need to keep it until your warranty runs out (like me).

Just manual download google play services and update them.
If it will not let you get rooted and delete old google play services.

Google Play Store: Apps won't update/download

I'm on the 500GB original Shield TV. Totally stock with the latest update that came out a few days ago (although I had this same issue on the previous version as well)
In a nutshell when I go to the Play Store to install a new app or update app the D/L looks like it's about to update but the indication bar never actually downloads. It just gets stuck there indefinitely. Here are the things I have tried to fix the issue:
- clear cache in Play Store
- clear cache in Play Store Services (or google play services...whatever it's called)
-removed my Google account and logged in again
-uninstalled old version of Play Store
-uninstalled old version of Google Play Services
I have no idea what else I can try short of a complete factory reset (which i really don't want to do)
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks for all the advice!
Same problem here mate, did you get anywhere with it
Can you download the/an app directly not, through GP Store, and successfully install it?
