Its already installed but let me try it.Your tip also gave me a clue that few days back my sdcard got corrupted on whichI have some applications moved so probably any core application was also on it and now missing. Will post my findings.

it was it. Just uninstalled all software which were installed on sdcard and currently showing as missing/broken and gave a reboot.

[Q] Google Music Sync Settings [Solved]

My google music does not sync on a retail 10.1. I am logged into my google account, and I am able to access my music through the browser, as well as through my Vibrant. I get a "Your Music Library is empty" message in the app, and I am unable to find sync settings in either the app or Accounts and Sync.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
I feel stupid now. Clearing app data fixed everything.
I tried clearing all the data but the library still isnt showing. Is there anything else i should do?

What worked for me was the following:
1. Go to Settings | Privacy and uncheck "Automatic restore"
2. Uninstalling Music, reboot, then reinstall from the Market
What finally fixed it was unistalling the update and reinstall it while the USB was plugged in to my computer.

Google Play Store stopped working

So I moved from WP7 to Android.
While setting up the phone, I enter the gmail account details and while "Signing-in", a popup appears saying "Google Play Store has stopped working". I clicked OK and completed the setup.
When I try opening the play store from the app drawer, the same message appears and I have also tried signing-in to another gmail account, same message.
I tried this in Viper ROM and CM10.1 for Rezound.
Can some help with this?
Thanks

three guesses just try them:
1. clear data and cahe of google play store.
2. goto /data/system and delete accounts.db
3. if the above of the two not helps then reflash the rom
Hit thanks if i helped u
Did all the above. After flashing another ROM, the Stopped working message is not popping up anymore but the Play store cannot connect. It says "No Connection", although the internet is working fine in the browser, news etc.
I flashed another ROM, but still the same thing.

Try going to the same menu and hitting clear data and clear cache? Might do the trick, thats all I can think of. If you're rooted, you can try freezing it and unfreezing.
Did you deactivate any apps in application manager of the Android system settings, like the apps Download, Google Play Services, etc?

(I got it working with reenabling them again after deleting app data and uninstalling the updates for Google Play and Services, Google Hangout. Then the preinstalled Play Store reappeared and everything got updated again including the Play Store.)
Also I did deinstall a manual Play Store update I could not open after installation. Anyway Play Store was no more visible in application manager but I used some other tool to get to the screen allowing to uninstall, I think this was the tool "Uninstall APK" in "Android Assistant".

Unknown issue with Google Play services - Gmail 5.0

Hi all,
I have this weird issue with the new Gmail 5.0 (updated directly from Play Store) and it keeps brining this message up and FC: Unknown issue with Google Play services. All the other Google apps work perfectly fine, it's just the new Gmail and Inbox that don't work.
Deleting the GmsCore.apk and re-installing via Play Store is not an option as it wouldn't let me in the Store then. I am running LegacyXperia CM11 on my Xperia Ray. I should mention that I side-loaded an updated services apk from apkmirror.com, perhaps, someone can upload their Google Play services apk?
Help will be appreciated. :good:
Gee Mail
Just received the update and get the same issue. Now can't use GMail at all.
I have the same issue too.
But I was using the ART, and I can open the gmail app after switched back to dalvik VM.
I will stop using ART in (4.4)m which has many compatibility issue (even with google!) , fallback to dalvik VM and wait until Lollipop.

Do you suffer from space insufficiency?
Are you trying to cure that thing by moving applications that get updated from /data/app to /system/app?
If yes then this might be your problem. Here is what I had.
With latest Google play services update all Google apps (Maps, YouTube, Gmail and Inbox by gmail) were working fine.
Then I needed space so I took the updated Google services apk which took a lot of space in my data partition and moved it to my system partition where its predecessor used to be. I did it completely well using root explorer and checking all tricky parts. I should mention that I study computer engineering and I've been into android more than 5 years so I know my way around.
Immediately after the transfer:
YouTube didn't load anything.
Gmail showed me the same message as you.
Maps force closed.
Inbox by gmail showed me a message of "oops something went wrong please try again later".
It is now my understanding that Google play services has become a very sensitive application that sadly should not be messed with. Especially with a completely redesigned and revamped app such as gmail 5.0 or inbox by gmail. They are just not THAT compatible yet to be able to keep working together after they've been moved around inside partitions.
My suggestion find the latest .zip of "pa gapps" flash it, update the apps that need updating and leave them as they are. They should work like that.
That aint it either

I'm afraid not. This is just an standard install of stock rom no root and certainly not moving files in system areas. All that's happened is I allowed to install the Gmail update then EPIC FAIL.
I have Gmail 5.0 (1569867) and Google Play Services 6.1.88 (1557022-036)
Guys, any update on this? It's getting really annoying to constantly reflash my rom from time to time... Is it possible that Google failed this much?
remove and reinstall the Google play services solved problem.
I've the same issue here but in a very custom rom, thought was my fault
Gee Music
Now after receiving an update of Google Music I now get a permanent notification saying "Unknown issue with Google Play services. Requested by Google Play Music'
So folks what do we do? Uninstall updates? Disable? Will rolling back break the rest of Android?
We have lift off!
Well what do you know? Suddenly my Gmail & Google Play Music now works. Hang on I didn't get any update notifications on these two apps.
Wait a minute, my Google Play Services has been stealthily updated to 6.5.87 (1599771-036)
Thanks Google. Sneaky.
Had the same issue
I had the same issue this two days Gmail wasn't working at all and Hangout was working but for every action i was taking it was giving me the error Unknown issue with Google Play Services and i found out the in my case the problem was Link2SD so what i did was unlinking Google Play Store and Google Play Services than i uninstalled Google Play Services and installed it againn but didn't linked them and error was gone.
The conclusion on my case was linking the app to sd card was causing the error.
Thanks

In may case turns out that I had a version of "google play services" for Android 5.0+ instead of for Android 2.3+.
I did install "google play services" with "System app unistaller" and install the recommended version at gappsandroid.blogspot.com/2015/01/download-google-play-services-apks.html.
Note: In order to uninstall "google play services" "Adndroid devide manager" must be off in System -> Security -> Device administrators. Re-enabled it after install the correct "google play services" version.
Hope that helps

This is also just happened to me this morning. Suddenly my calendar and GMail stop working and prompting the error "Unknown error in Google Play Services".
I tried to remove and re-add the Google account but no success. Clearing cache and application data also no luck for me.
I tried to Google this case and one of the guy suggesting to do these following steps and it works for me:
1. Untick the Android Device Manager from Setting - Security - Device Administrator
2. Go to Setting - Apps then look for Google Play Services. Click on Uninstall updates.
3. Reboot the phone
4. Open HangOut and it will prompt to update Google Play Services.
5. Update the google play services.
6. Done.
Now everything is working again for me.
Maybe you guys can try it. Hopefully it will helps.

Auto sync issue

Hello there..
Got the Lenovo A806, and i installed the VIBEUI_V2.0_1501_7.80.1_DEV_A806 ROM and it's Android version 4.4.2 .. yesterday i saw the synce on any account, include Google, is off [with this gray circle and text saying Sync is OFF] and i can only sync it manually by tap, since then i tried many things from online and by trying many phone options for many hours, but the Auto sync is still off and woun't come back..
I did saw many places when they say it's under data usage manu, enabling "Auto sync" option there, but checking thoroughly in my manus i didn't find anything speaking on Sync options, besides SHAREit or SYNCit built in apps which has someoptions but it has nothing to do with, also with many built in apps, theres' this green Security app which is very "control freak" and is all over the place, and it has data usage monitoring thing, so from remembering all the data usage references from the web, along with the fact the Auto Sync stopped from a week ago [So i saw last sync for all accounts was May 28], which is the date i remember i was almost finished all my operator data usage of 3GB, and that Security app gave me a notification and sort of Red Alert about me going to exceeding the limit, so from that i was thinking that it [the Security app] was blocing to auto sync option for reduce data usage or something like that, so i tried to unlock frozen apps and tried to clean it's catch and data from "apps", also playing with the data saver options, same to data "firewall apps", and there's no reset or restore to defaults option, so i think tried everything..
Can someone help please? any ideas why it doesn't Auto Sync any account? include Waze Hotmail an Corporate..
It's very important to me to have it autoSync as for everybody i guess so please someone to help, it will be very much appreciated!
Thanks and have a great day!

No notifications from Calendar

Hi!
I use Calendar with DAVdroid (sysnces events with nextcloud), but I noted that there are missing notifications on my Mate 10 Pro.
Strange thing is that sometimes notification appears, but that's random and very rare.
I tried to look into Settings -> Battery -> Launch, but there's no Calendar application to manage.
As alternative, I tried to install several calendars from Play store, but for only Today Calendar gives me a notification (but I don't like the visual).
Anyone else with similar problem?
Did you look at notifications parameters - application - notifications ?
There is no "notifications parameters", but yes, I went to Settings - > Apps & notifications - > Notifications management - > Calendar and there all is allowed.
As I already wrote, strange thing is that sometimes notification appears, but that's random and very rare.

Ok that's what I wanted to tell you.
It's an known issue with some apps. Oreo or emui problem.
But a lot of calendar app works well.
So I'm surprised

Is the battery settings switched on to "power saving mode" ?
No.
Neither "Power sawing mode" nor "Ultra power sawing mode".
Watch comment on DAVdroid app and it appears some people have sync problem...
Ask to dev maybe...
The problem is not in DAVdroid, as it does his syncing well (I see that because new or changed entries are immediately on my nextcloud web).
Notifications come from Calendar application (in rare cases when they appear), and to be sure, I just created some test event in Phone account (not synced to anything), same result.

Few questions/checks, if you can:
1) What is your sw version of mobile phone?
2) Exact version of your Calendar app (Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Apps -> Calendar and there it states that mine is 8.0.0.300)?
3) Do you use some sync with cloud (CardDAV, Google, etc.)?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Sw version is 127-C432 if it what you mean by sw version
Mine is 8.0.0.300 too
I m using Google sync only
Almost everything like mine.
I guess next step would be reinstall the Calendar app, but as it's system app I probably can't do it without root.
Phone reset is also not an option as I already installed lot of stuff which I don't want to reinstall again.
I guess I should wait until next sw release and temporary stuck with DigiCal, which works good for now.

Yes, probably with root only...
If you don't want to do a factory reset, you have to wait a new sw release for sure..
Did you try to wipe cache the phone or calendar app?
Just tried to clean cache of Calendar, first notification appeared, but second time still nothing.
Still, I think this is a good idea, later I'll try to clear data for Calendar and wrote if this will produce any progress.

Didn't help, clearing app data only removed settings for Calendar.
Well, I'm getting used to DigiCal+, for now it works as alternative.

Anyway DigiCal+ seems to be a good calendar !
Yep, it is
Only sad thing is that my previous phone (LG G5) has working and good calendar out of box, almost the same as DigiCal+, but I'll live with that
