Play store stuck on 'download pending' : how to fix it/? [Sony Z3 KitKat] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Sony Z3 dual sim (D6633) running stock KitKat, rooted. I am posting here, and not in Sony's forum, as I understand this is a generic issue which can happen to any phone, and is not Z3-specific.
I cannot download anything from the play store; the screen is always stuck at 'download pending'. I had this this morning, and deleted all data (settings -> app for google play services, google play, download manager, and download media). It worked this morning, but now I have the same problem and redoing those steps doesn't help. I do have internet access and have tried connected to 4G and to two separate wifi networks.
I did a factory reset of the phone just yesterday because of this issue + because some process was stuck in a loop and overheated my phone. I wouldn't want to reset the phone every day!
Any suggestions? What causes this and why?
Thanks!
PS Incidentally, this proves we don't need a new smartphone every 6 months - we just need smartphones which work and are stable. But this is not what the industry wants, of course.

Solution kinda....
The issue came across me as well i just installed a custom ROM and the restoring backup was taking place. Google play is reinstalling the apps when suddenly all apps stops at download pending. Well the only solution i found was to factory reset my phone (by facotry reseting i mean wiping all data cache ... EXCEPT for system) then reflashing gapps which worked fine for me. Hope this helps

Strange problem with my Galaxy S4 Verizon SCH-1545 of no sound, video or app work

I've Galaxy S4 Verizon - SCH1545 with 5.0.1 Lollipop and Baseband 1545VRUGOF1. Bought a month ago, it worked fine for 15 days but then sound went off. Also I was unable to play any video nor any application is working. Getting error of Unfortunately UI has stopped and(App) is not responding. Upon trying below steps, sound comes sometime and app works fine then but it doesn't stay long when again starts same behavior. I get it when start phone and it doesn't play the sound when shows Samsung logo.
1. Cleared the cache of Play Store, Google Framework and Google Play Services
2. Wiped cache partition and Factory Reseted
3. Rooted the device
4. Unable to install TWRP or CWM
5. Odin gives Nand write error
6. If phone stuck with "Use Verizon Software Repair Assistant...", able to bring it back by CF Auto JFLTEXX-GTI9505.tar.md5. Although Odin gives error but after error, I disconnect the USB cable and phone starts
7. Tried Verizon Software Repair Assistant and Samsung Kies to update the firmware but same issue
8. Can't find GooManager in Play Store. Installed by APK but GooManager doesn't find any list or unable to find Script (to install TWRP)
9. Rooted the phone. Confirmed by Root Checker but Flash Fire shows "are you rooted?"
will be very thankful for anyone who has idea or had same problem.
As far as I understand custom recoveries are only available for MDK. Your best bet is to odin your current build and start there.

I don't mind any rom or whatever settings are. Just want to solve sound and other issues I'm facing.
I tried Samsung Kies and Verizon Software Repair Assistant to reload the firmware but still the same issue of sound goes off, youtube, apps and videos don't play.
I know its not hardware problem because this all gets ok sometimes after maybe reset, wipe cache, clear play store/services storage or factory reset... then goes off again after some time.
thanks for the reply
noticed one more thing. If I keep it off for few hours, the sound come back. And again goes off after some time.

LG G4 Unfortunately com.android.settings stopped working

i have LG G4 h810 5.1 official then after i update it to marshmallow using auto updates and when i clicked on security option in settings then i get error "Unfortunately com.android.settings stopped working" i try factory reset many times but nothing happens i think that the latest update which i applied to my phone has an error inside it.
can someone help me ?
same issue here man, i had been browsing all over internet trying a lot of solutions, none of them worked i tried to root the phone, install a new firmware, i cant find the right firmware for it. is there somebody who can help us?
I'm stuck with the same issue... How to fix it...
Have you guys tried other firmware such as Lineage os or cyanogenmod?
I'm stuck with same issue... Can't install apps from unveriffied source.
I also have been on this issue of setting app crashing when I try enter "Apps" in settings and click on any app, for weeks trying to fix it, including factory reset 10 times, clearing cash and starting new account on my phone, after I noticed it on my seldom used LG G4. But now it looks like I finally fixed it a minute ago (my com.android.settings stopped crashing, at least for now.) I used free App Manager by AndroidDeveloperLB from Google Play Store. It has option... something like uninstalling updates (or rolling a selected app back to the original installation). I uninstalled the update, and app "Settings" stopped crashing. Now I am waiting to see if system will install this update again, and if it causes crashing again... then I will think what to do... If crashes again, then I guess I will have to do a research and block updates for this app somehow)
Am stuck with same problem too. Cant install apps or set a lock code for my LG G4 H810 from ATT running on Marshmallow

I just fixed this issue on mine, only thing I did was restore my system through twrp. I made backups of prettymuch everything while the phone was experiencing bootloop because I guess I stopped google play services with airfrozen. Seems to have that effect anyway... So before factory resetting, decided to do a backup of system and data and prettymuch all the essential things, then reset and got the problem popping up in a fresh reset phone. Strange that my original more hacked and unlocked rom seemed not to have it... I couldn't enable debugging so I had to resort to twrp to figure out what to do and took a gamble and restored the system. Wow, so shocked when it showed up normal again.
So only take away is that the problem is isolated in the system part not data. If it is something to do with google play store and maybe I rolled things back to a previous version, I have no clue. Wish I could say for sure. If you don't have twrp, get it and you'll be back up in no time in some form I'm sure..

Help needed - I have an app which bricks my Samsung tablet when I try to install it

Now this is the weirdest thing I've ever encountered! I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet (n5110) which runs TWRP recovery and Resurrection-Remix-5.7.4 (CM13 based). Everything used to work beautifully until the end of July when an app called “EPB DVR Manager” (in the Play store) received an update. My tablet had to do a whole bunch of updates, so I gave it the “go” and Play Store started doing its thing, updating one app after the other.
At some point the tablet froze. Dead. Even the clock in the status bar stopped. I had to reset the device by pressing and holding power until it rebooted. The next thing was ... boot loop. It seemed to finish the boot animation and at the point when the main screen is supposed to show up it rebooted!
Tried to wipe dalvik & cache. No go, still boot loop. Had to format data to get the device back to life. From there it took me quite some hours of repeated tries of restoring 100+ apps and crashing the device all over until I figured out that it was this specific app - the “EPB DVR Manager”. After figuring out that this app causes the problem, I did two more attempts to confirm what is going on:
First, I did a wipe of dalvik, cache & data, reboot, android setup wizard (setup Google account). Then, as the first action at all, I tried to install the “EPB DVR Manager”. Boom - device messed up again.
Second, I reverted back to stock firmware (kitkat) and installed the “EPB DVR Manager” - no problem at all. So it has something to do with the Resurrection-Remix ROM, but here's the thing:
I have 3 different devices (a Moto G 3rd Gen, a LG GPAD 7.0 and that Samsung Note 8.0) and all three of them run Resurrection-Remix 5.7.4 and the Samsung is the only device which all in a sudden has these catastrophic problems with the latest version of this app (earlier versions installed/updated fine).
Now I understand that my devices run different kernels with different hardware drivers despite all of them running RR-5.7.4.
I would really like to get a clue about what the heck is going on here. Now before y'all are telling me that RR-5.7.4 is dead because it is based on CM13 - I know that. Still, RR-5.7.4 is a way better daily driver than the newer Nougat builds. So how should I try to get “live logs” because the problem always ends in a crashed installation and Android needs a full wipe to recover. I would like to find out what is going on to be able to let the app developer know about the problem (if the app's apk is at least partially to blame).
Even if it turns out that it is RR's fault (and therefore the bug will not be fixed because RR-5.7.4 is dead) I would still want to learn how such a simple transaction like installing an app can cause such a dramatic (and 100% reproducible) crash of Android's data partition.
Thanks for any suggestions on how to catch logging information for this kind of mystery.

Ulefone Power 3 all applicattons crashes

Good Night
I purchased a Power 3 Ulefone, and received it on 02/28/2018.
Already brought Rom GQ3056MF1_HCS986A_Ulefone_20180111_V26
But when I called, it started to give error "Google Play Store stopped working". At a great cost I was able to install Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Touchpal Keyboard ... But none of these applications works, being in an infinite loop where all applications stop working ...
I searched the Internet for solutions but did not find anything that resulted ... Clear the Cache and Data, reinstall the applications, even do a Factory Reset ... Nothing resulted ...
I found a solution, which consisted of a Rom of the previous version, GQ3056MF1_HCS986A_Ulefone_20171229_V25 . However this is an unofficial Rom, and although the applications work fine, but the phone is too slow.
I would like to know if this is an error in Rom version GQ3056MF1_HCS986A_Ulefone_20180111_V26 that will be fixed in some update, or if it is a failure to install Rom on this phone.
How can I solve this problem, and where can I find an Official Rom?
Thank you,
André Pereira

Troubleshoot on Factory Data Reset "Google Play services keeps stopping" rooted

Troubleshoot on Factory Data Reset "Google Play services keeps stopping" rooted
To Everyone i really need help,
Its been a day since i factory data rest my device using twrp recovery. The main reason on why i did that is that my Play Store keeps crashing. Maybe because i flashed a kernel (init.d) that made it crash and not anymore usable. After the factory reset, its seems normal at first but when i reached the part where it is checking for updates after the finding of wifi, Google play services keeps crashing, this is the first login part just like for newly opened devices. After the chexking of updates my screen goes black with normal buttons and wifi icons on. I tried to reboot several times. I also backed up the system from their and restored it. I dont know if im still rooted that causes the malfunction. My other solution is that to download Gapps which is compatible to my device and flash it. Maybe i broke ky system? Please help me as soon as possible.
My Device:
Lenovo Tab 4 8
