Wierd issue with play store... - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a 11 gen Amazon fire tablet 10.1 HD with fire toolbox. The problem that is driving me crazy is the play services message keeps coming up. Even though it is updated it says all the time I had this before but I feel like the fix always worked to me it just keeps coming back. I need some advice. I have installed and reinstall plenty times same error shows up. Always look at the play services app it is always up to date. I tried clearing the cache and every trick I could find no luck.
Is this a usual thing for fire toolbox or is it just me? Can one of you help me please.?

I'm having the same problem. I look forward to solutions too.

Ya hopefully bro..

Turbonova has a fix that worked for me in another thread. I did have to remove my SD card for it to work.

I read on one of these sites that you should disable auto-updates for Amazon because the hybrid apps affect google apps.

I figured out a work around.. You were right I lt was auto update but Google play store.. I reset it and took auto update off and now it doesn't annoy me anymore every five seconds to update.. I only get the update message now when I try to link Google which is a major upgrade because I was ignoring it anyway.. So thanks

I never had auto updates turned on for the google play store and I got that notification once a day..hasn't happened since september 21, maybe they pushed an update that fixed some kind of issue we weren't aware of?

Do you know how to remove it?
Try the app called market access or market enabler, it could be that the app is no longer available for your region
Actually, I have the exact same problem for many apps, specifically apps that have both a free version and paid version.
Market Enabler does not solve the problem. I am trying to download Market Access now, but I cannot find it.
I will looking for Market Access after turning on Market Enabler, hope that'll work.

Nope, still didn't work.
Today I tried to download Cordy from Market. Not available for US or any other country. Then it says not compatible for GT 10.1. I ended by downloading from website and sideload to tab. IT WORKS! Do you hear me Google!
I tried looking for that app (Car Repair Manual) and I was unable to find it by name and also by the dev name, it's probably not in the market any more
Some apps will also be made unavailable if you've changed your LCD Density from default. (If you don't know what that is, then you won't have changed it so don't worry about it).

[Q] Help removing malware

I don't know what this came with but has anyone seen this random popup when opening app drawer or google voice - it'll also bring up Heroes of Dragon age from the play store randomly. How do I get rid of it? Thanks. Sorry, I don't know how to resize images.

they look more like ads... Do you remember which app you installed before they started appearing?
Try uninstalling that app... It may solve your issue...

that shouldn't be too hard..
If I am correct,the new apps are placed last in touchwiz... try going back in that order....
I will recommend making a list of apps using list my apps or similar app so that u can install the apps that were removed in the process here..
u can also check recently updated apps in my app section in Google play,that may also be doing that..
good luck!!

[Q] How do I hide apps now that I have KitKat?

Got the KitKat OTA update a few days ago and notice I can no longer hide apps (bloatware). How do I hide them now without rooting and uninstalling them?

Go into Settings, My Device, Applications, and then go find your app, click force stop and then disable. It will hide the app.

Not sure whats going on, but I just tried it the Sprint Music app, it worked right away. Make sure you disable it after stopping it.

Hmm. My phone does not have a Sprint Music app. Example. If I try to do this to the VM app, this is what I get/see.

I don't think you can disable sprint zone, its known to cause problems if you disable sprint zone.

I have a annoying problem with whatsapp.
When i receive a new message i open it and i see the latest message.
Then i open the keyboard to send back a message and thats when the problem kicks in whatsapp scrolls up a bit so i cant read te coversation, unless i scroll down.
This is only happend with new incomming messages.

Thanks in advance.

I've noticed the exact same issue - I've even joined their beta program thinking that maybe they have already fixed the issue in beta (they didn't, it still exists). No real work around that I've found.

Thanks fort the response!
I made a new clean install and now it's working fine again.
I think it had something to do with immersive mode.
?? (wish they had a male version) I didn't even think to do that. Funny how you get ahead of yourself sometimes trying to find a complex solution... I'll give that a try.

Did it work for you?
After a while my prone started doing the same thing..
Still havent found any solution
I noticed the exact same thing. Initially it seemed fine, but it's gone back to needing to scroll to the bottom to see the latest message. I've tried using both swiftkey and Swype keyboards with the same result.
Strange.
Well maby a new update will fix this in the future, i hope sooner than later though..
I also have a problem with playing a video from the chat screen.
When i receive a video and download it, i cant play the file straight from the chat screen.
If i go back and reopen the chat then press the video it does play.
I is a little annoying when i receive a video, i have to close the chat, reopen it and then be able to play the video.

OK Google is Haunting Me

I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?
I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.
You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.
