Force update Google Play. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When the first version come out i installed the apk (3.4.6) then it silently update to 3.4.7
But now it stopped at 3.4.7 while my old Galaxy S update itself to 3.5.16.
why?
Is there a way to force update without installing the apk?
I try to clear cache but it doesn't update after acceting terms and condition.

What phone is that?certain phones won't be updated to the newest version of Google Play automatically...

It is in my sign
Galaxy S2. -> won't update
Old galaxy S -> update properly

I read this in a german tech blog (but on my desire it doesn’t work):
-kill market/play out of ram.
-go to settings/apps
-choose market/play
-delete cache
-start market/play
-press home (to run market/play in the background)
-after a few seconds start market/play again
-now the market/play should upgrade
if that doesn’t work wait a minute and try again.
again: for me it doesn’t work. but there were many people saying it does work.

I also found
*#*#2432546#*#*
but don't work for me even if checkin appear

i know you are searching a way without installing the apk but here it is

[Q] Market Problem

I have a terrible Market problem. My Vega loaded with HoneyIce 3.2.7 auto installs Google Play Store which is fine, but when I'm going to click accept on the Terms, it just force-closes. If I'm fast, i can click accept, but it force-closes after that top. When i install an older version of Android Market, it just auto updates and the problem is still the same :S Does anybody know how to fix this?
I'm having the same problem and i think alot of people will since google play just launched , i havent tryed it yet but i think it should work.
Do factory reset over cwm ,
then in terminal emulator:
su -
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
hope this helps , im gonna try this later myself.
It works, thnx You don't need to reset it...

I just assumed it would need reset because it reverts back to android market from google play. But oh well , glad it helped.
Okay, I got Google Play wokring. I don't know what i did, but it works...
Thanks for the fix!
Every time I tried to install/upgrade an app from Market it would say that this app can't be istalled on phone or usb storage. I even tried to install apk files thru manager and it didn't work anymore.
What I did was:
1. Freeze "Market updater" in Titanium Backup (pm disable does the same thing!)
2. Go in Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications-->All-->Google Shop and clear cache+data and then "Uninstall updates".
3. Restart tablet and Market should work once again!
Someone could also post a link to old version (last version before Market was transformed into Google Shop).
I had same force closes, all I did was force stop the app, then cleared its data and now it works fine?

Error downloading apps

I have been having this problem for quite sometime now. I have a Galaxy S Plus running on Android Gingerbread. Whenever I`m trying to download any apps I always get this error:
Update for "App Name"/ could not be downloaded due to an error. (905)
I have googled this problem and found out that I should just clear the cache of Google Play and the data of the Download Manager. I did this and it worked for a while however the problem keeps on coming back. I am already tired of repeating the steps over and over again. Now it`s gone worse, I cannot download anything. The same error keeps on coming up even if I already cleared the cache and data.
I believe I have sufficient space on my phone (phone, USB storage and SD card). Please help me out with my problem! THANK YOU.
its something about your /datadata being low on space.

Uninstall the updates
It seems the error occurs due to the misconfiguration of app settings. You can uninstall the updates, and reboot the phone and your problem will be solved. Source: http://technogiga.com/how-to-solve-error-905-in-android/
just uninstall the google play store update and play services updates :good:

Try older verion of play store
I have to precise : I installed first my ROM in English.
Then, after all the process and after few days,
I selected my Language (French).
This can explain the problem ?
PS: Where to find older version of Google Play Store ?
EDIT : Find the 3.5.15 one, right ?

[Q] Play Store Problem : No Connection. How to fix!?

The Play Store displays no connection even with wifi. Already tried wiping dalvik cache, cache partition. Also tried force closing and clearing data from Google Play Services, Play Store, Google Service Framework. Help!!
Not enough information, your Play app could be corrupt, app settings, ROM or Google account.
Try logging into Google play on the website first to check the account works, then un-install Play app, re-install without settings, last try factory reset/reflash ROM.
It could be really simple or very terminal, like you've disabled a service or corrupted your ROM.
extra info
Google play account works on website. Tried signing out and can't sign back in - "Couldn't establish a reliable connection". Google play v3.10.14. How do you uninstall google play app?
Have you tried clearing the cache of google play services and google play in the application mananger ?

found a better solution that worked for me without doing a factory reset or device wipe. just delete the hosts file in root/etc/, by using (total commander) app.then reboot ur device and run play store and enjoy. Make a copy of the "hosts" file just incase .
I hope it works for u guys , cuz it's really frustrating error.

Deleting the hosts file and rebooting worked for me too. Thank you! :good:
AdFree
When using a rooted phone and you used Freedom for free in-game purchases, and as a result your play store won't connect, it's due the host file as stated in previous comments by others. To get rid of this problem, simply revert your host file and download the new host (both in the adfree app). This should fix the problem, hope it helps
Wrong Gapps version
After trying all solutions posted in this thread, I realized that the whole problem was that I had flash the wrong version of the Google Apps for the android version.
You can find which is the right one for your CM in the CyanogenMod Wiki. Sorry, I can't add the link now, it is my first link.
Fixed mine by realizing that somehow my system date and time were wrong.

Google play store won't download

Google play won't download:
I recently updated my Android version on my unrooted Nexus 5X to the final release of Android 7.1.1 (I had the beta version before)
Since then my google play store won't download (keeps saying downloading... But never downloads)
I've tried a few things from the internet but none of them helped and the problem still exists:
* Rebooted phone
* Cleard cache and data of play store
* Cleard cache and data of download manager
* Restored play store to factory version (now also the play store fails to update itself)
* Removed my Google account from phone and added it again
As mentioned none of those helpd me and play store still not downloading anything including its own update.
My phone has plenty of free space and problem is also on WiFi (tried different WiFi's) and also on mobile data.
My last option is to do a factory reset to my phone but I'm a worried I will get stuck unable to download any apps so I want to keep it for when all hopes are lost
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the answer.
Did it. So now I have back the latest version of the play store but it still won't download anything.
I could technically stop using the play store and download apk's any now and then but thats not very convenient obviously.
My guess it's a problem with the google download manager that got updated with the system.
I tried looking for an apk for that so I could reinstall it but found nothing (only download managers that replace the browser's download manager)

Went into the play store and found out the system webview is disabled. Pressed enable but nothing happens.
Also through app settings the app shows to be disabled and the "enable" button is greyed out.
I was searching to update the system web view app through apk mirror but then found this thread:
https://www.google.com.ar/amp/forum...8833-android-system-webview-disabled.html?amp
Which in short says it's disabled in purpose by Android since updating to Android N.

Clear Google play services data. Update play store and Google play services. If any apps are disabled then enable them. Go to Google account and click sync now. Check your Android date and time.
Go to apps and clear download manager data.

So now I definitely think it is due to the update
I suggest you to again degrade it back to older version and wait until the newer version produced is completely stable

Problem just solved mysteriously and accidentally: my phone died (battery got to 0%) and after charging it and starting it again the problem was gone.
I have tried restarting the phone a few times (together with cache, data, account, etc cleaning) when the problem appeared but maybe letting the phone run out of battery has a different affect on the system than just restarting it?
Anyway problem solved.
