Interesting problem. When I purchased the new GSIII and moved to it, it auto installed the majority of my apps from Play.
I just exchanged the phone...none of my apps are showing up.
Any ideas?
Go into your account settings and make sure that the apps are synced, that would be my first recommendation
Same thing happened to me....meaning when I first got my phone it auto synced all my apps....when I exchanged the phone it didnt

Hey everyone,
I hope this is in the right section. But just recently i noticed my phone acting weird. Seems when i open google play store and do a search, Most recently i did "Weather Widgets"
It will return with like 6000 app results. Normally when you click the apps bar it takes you to the app results, When you scroll down and you reach the end of the list it will auto load the next group of apps.
Well now when that happens it no longer loads anymore results and it stays stuck on the first 10~15.BUT this is the weird part.. IT ONLY DOES IT FOR APPS and GAMES.
Music and Books the list loads as usual.
So far i have wiped the cache / data and just tried uninstalling the recent update and took it back to version 3.7.15 but google play auto updates itself back to 3.8
This really sucks. Anyone know how to stop google play from auto updating? soon as i wipe it back to 3.7 it auto updates back to 3.8
Nevermind - Resolved.
I guess somewhere along the line when gapps updates to 3.8... it no longer likes the device ID. I checked it and its DROIX but 3/4 of the apps on the market dont show.
So i downloaded Device spoofer and setup gapps as a Nex S. works like a charm
Recently, meaning in the past two days, when I open the Play Store this is what appears:
(first attachment, or which ever is named razrmaxx)
When I go to My Apps, and look under the Installed tab, only four apps show up, all preloaded Verizon apps. When I go to all associated with my account, it shows that they are installed. I can only install a new app if it's a popular app and the Play Store comes up with the completed search where it has the app icon. All other Google services work, gmail, youtube, Chrome tab, bookmark shares. I've reset my phone to factory defaults, I've completely closed the Play Store, deleted data, deleted cache, forced stop, and reopened. The other day I was trying to install an app (AirDroid), and it said it wasn't available in my country, I live in the United States. I'm completely baffled because on my Note 10.1, this is the screen that appears when I open the play store:
(second attachment, the one named note)
(just in case this is related to that), and it also will not show any of the "installed" apps, but will say that it's installed under the "all" tab. I've completely erased all data, force stopped Play Store on my Note too, and it still shows up like that, and it also can't search. The fact that there's only one app on my phone that shows up makes me think it's a virus, I've scanned my phone completely with Avast, I don't download anything except from the play store (although I know even there it can be a virus). Recent apps I've installed to my phone are: AirDroid, AndSMB, App Cache Cleaner (although this is after it started), and Avast. I originally thought the Samsung Apps app on my Note was causing the issue on my tablet, and Samsung Apps works, but even after I disabled it, the issue persisted. I even tried the Amazon App store, and that works. The only app that I have in common with my phone and tablet is Avast. Any help is much appreciated, and thank you in advanced. I might go to a Verizon store in the next few days and ask them about it, maybe get a new phone and stay away from my current gmail accounts and only use apps I trust, (amazon, newegg, doubletwist). Anyone know how to fix this and ways to stop it from happening in the future?
Hey guys, I have been having troubles with Play Store recently. I have been trying to download several apps/games and they take forever to download. It does not matter if it's a 5mb app or a 1.5gb game. It looks to be downloading at about 300kb/s when my internet is 30/5mbps. I have ran speed tests on my phone and I am getting my advertised speed and I have also cleared the Play Store and Google Services data and rebooted but still no luck. I get this problem when I am at home or away on a totally different network. Has anyone else had issues with slow downloads?
My second issue deals with the carrier billing option... Ever since I got my Note 3 I have lost the ability to Bill to Sprint. My girlfriend still has the option and we are on the same plan. I have tried using 3G as well as 4G and still no luck. I have contacted Sprint and they have been no help. I also checked to make sure that I don't have any blocks on my line that would prevent this. My Google Wallet account only has my CC for my Play Music Subscription. I am clueless on this issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Started noticing this same thing recently. Was wondering if it was just me...
Edit: download speeds seem to be hit or miss. Sometimes they blaze others they crawl...
Swyped from mobile, Samsung Galaxy Note® 3 using Tapatalk.
Alright, Here is my .2 on the issues you are talking about..
About the speed, I have no clue.
About the carrier billing option, I do have a clue.
So I initially rooted my phone with the CF-Root method and was able to get carrier billing up until a few days ago. I talked to google about the issue and they said it was carrier related. I went into the sprint store and talked to my sales agent that I always go through when ever I need anything sprint related. He had his sales support, customer care, and advanced technical all conferences on the line to figure out what the issue was. Long story short after all the troubleshooting they said it was an issue with the phone. So, after ordering the replacement I have no had the issue with the new one, however.. its not rooted and all stock in fear of losing my bill to carrier options. They didn't ask if my phone was rooted, or even cared to check the status of the phone. I had tripped knox, and kernel counters and was running the MININI3 rom with Freeza's beast mode. kernel like in my sig.
I do want to mention that Ive also never had carrier to billing option on the phone since ive had it.. so if you had it and then lost it.. it is software related and if going back to stock everything (which is what I did) and it still didn't allow the option.. then your phone is hosed.. I do suggest you attempt a warranty swap or have sprint investigate and come to the conclusion that its the phone.

Yeah , it's the problem of stock rom..
Basically its a software problem.
Noticed this consistently as well while using my Wi-Fi but when I turn wifi off and use mobile data I'm getting blazing speeds that I used to get with my wifi...don't get it.

bill to sprint
So does anyone actually have bill to sprint working on a rooted kitkat rom?
I had the option there on sacs kitkat, but kept getting an error about them not being able to verify my account, which I came to the assumption it was because I was using google voice integrated with my phone number. So I disabled the google voice integration, updated prl & profile, but the option is no longer even there.
I've tried restoring sacs, I've tried installing the stockish odex rom, and now I'm downloading the stock unrooted rom to go back to stock & start again. Just curious if anyone has had any success with this.
Thanks.
update- restored to stock unrooted & still not showing the option
update 2- i had 2 google accounts on my phone, when I switched to the main account (never used for carrier billing before), it gave me the option & I was able to set up "bill to sprint", but when I tried using my other google account, the one that I have all previous purchases attached to, it did not give me the option, even after deleting the other account off of the phone.
So I'm not exactly sure what it all means, but at least a possible workaround is to use a fresh google account?? Hope that helps somebody.
google has issues!

I do not know what is going on with Google, I also cannot get back my paid apps, I had a phone that was rooted, took it back unrooted, they could not get it to work, then they gave me a new phone and that also did not solve the problem, so once again there seems to be some kind of software problem going on at google, when I used my other gmail account all my downloads were working except the ones that I paid for and that was over a month ago, so right now I am not a happy cus!tomer, Just my two cents

Do you have both google accounts synced on the phone? (settings -> general -> accounts -> add account -> google...) What I had to do was add both google accounts to my phone.
I have to switch to the new account to download new apps so I can "bill to sprint", then I switch to the old account to download previously purchased apps. ( to switch accounts, there is a drop down list of accounts that shows when you hit the 3 lines in the top left corner on the home page of the play store & then the little arrow next to your gmail address)
tried that!

I tired that several times, it won't down load regular apps now! thanks for the ideal!
Hi, today arrived my Moto E. I turned it on, and then I went to playstore so I can update all my apps. I went to subsection My apps and Installed. It were loading for several minutes, but nothing appeared. I decided to delete data and cache from the playstore and reboot phone to see if the problem was solved, but it remained the same way. Then I search in the google play store for motorola and I was able to update each app one by one. My question is why doesn't the apps appear as installed apps on the playstore, and how can I solve this problem.
Thanks.
Sometimes apps don't appear when the google play services or google play store is updating. The update can range between 35-0 MB. This might be the case ass your device is just out-of-the-box.
It can also happen because your account isn't properly synced. To verify, go to Settings>Google>Sync now (from the 3 dot menu on the right side)
Hope this solves the issue for you
I`m currently running a standard Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - never modded or anything - still locked to my current cell network.
My girlfriend came downstairs very upset with me. I didn`t know why. She grabbed my phone, opened my downloaded apps list and my downloaded / installed list states that I had either downloaded or installed Snapchat. She currently is furious thinking that I've been sending anonymous pictures / chats with others.
To my knowledge I can never remember downloading or installing this app on my phone (I've had it over a year and a half). Based on where it is in my download list, it was added to my list at some point between the evening of Feb 9th and sometime during the day on Feb 10th. I've determined this based on the apps I downloaded before and after snapchat shows in the list. Are the apps in the "all" list in chronological order? Or can they show up randomly?
With that being said, I certainly DID NOT download, install or use this app. However, because it is showing up in my download list, she believes that I'm lying to her. Is there any other way this app would show up in my "All" list aside from it being actually downloaded or installed? I have no knowledge of how this is showing up there and I have no way of proving to her that I didn't install it.
All I have found is that the App itself was recently updated on February 10th as per the Google Play store website for the app at - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapchat.android
and on February 11 for apple phones as per the iTunes page for Snapchat: itunes.apple.com/ca/app/snapchat/id447188370?mt=8
if I had downloaded it at some point in the last year and a half and then deleted it, could it show up in my "All" history because it was updated by the vendor? Is there any other kind of explanation for it showing up in my list? I have no idea how it is showing there and I am at my wits end because as this point she believes I'm cheating on her which I am most certainly not. However, without any other proof, its hard to say that I'm not when I have no explanation.
if anyone could share with me their knowledge, insight or provide feedback on how this may have happened, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Your app could show in all apps if you installed it previously on any other phone if your google account was signed in on that phone. That means if your previous phone used that account, or you signed in your friends phone and it synced the app it could stay in your app list on google play. Basically every app that you ever installed on any phone that was signed in with your google account will show in the play store.

Thank you for taking time to respond. I really appreciate it.
I can understand if I had downloaded it before in the past that it may be in my profile list under my gmail / google account somewhere in my history. Is there a reason why it would jump up in the list randomly? I ask this assuming that the "all" list is in chronological order of when the apps were downloaded? I had legitimately downloaded and installed some apps within the last few days and they show up at the top of the list. Where as older apps are lower in the list. Would the version updates maybe bump it up?
Many thanks again!
It could be possible. But i wouldn't really know because i don't track my app history, but in my case i install roms really often and it always wipes my data so i have to download all the apps i use again, and they are not in the top in all apps. And yes, some of the apps i downloaded a really long time ago are in the top. I don't know why. For instance, Aero kernel control app is pretty much in the top, and i had it installed when i ran kitkat on my phone and stopped using it when i installed lollipop and that was like three months ago. And it got updated recently. So i can't say for shure, but if you're not liying to your girlfriend, then you could say that to her. There could be many possibilities for that to happen, even if you didn't download the app personally.
