Google Play Notifications Not Working? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since flashing to UK Jelly Bean, I have not received any app updates in my notification.
When I go to Google Play they are just sitting there, waiting to be updated.
I can clear data and cache in the Application Manager, then go back into Google Play and the notification will work. But this is only a temporary fix.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this ?

had a similar problem and also include the audio when booting, there was none, what I did basically was to reinstall the fw over odin, and voila it worked

Different version of the S3, but I am having the same issue.. and I do not understand why. I am rooted, Stock rom (with a few tweaks of my own, mostly themed) I've never restored system apps/settings... I don't get it.
Installed the latest version from the Nexus 4 threads.. Guess I'll wait and see.

Having the same issue...I believe that Google play background process is being killed for some reason.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I checked if there were any updates via the web site and found a foursquare update.. No notification.
I only received a notification when I rebooted my device...
Side note: I only get xda forum app notifications after a reboot even though it's set to check every 30 minutes.

It is working.... but there is a long delay.
If I go into Google Play at night, and there is/are updates, the notification will not show until the next morning.
If I check in the morning, it will come up in the evening.
Google servers must be busy since Jelly Bean rollouts.

[Q] Market crashes after Rom (Theme) install.

Hi all,
Today I've installed ICS DOMINATION v4.0.1 and I must say I am very impressed with it and it runs very smooth, finally my Galaxy s2 looks more like a ICS phone.
The Issue is,
After I installed this Rom I couldn't find the Android Market, I was told to find Play Store after the previous Market recently got updated into Play Store.
I have found Play Store and I installed it, I accepted the terms and it's all good.
But when I tried to search for a App, it crashed and every time I try to open Play Store it crashes.
It's pretty frustrating and I hope you people can help me out here?
Kind regards.

C'mon people, I really need some help out here.
After uninstalling updates clear data, delete vending.apk from system/app
And redownload Google play market from themes and apps section and install it
Sent from my GT-I9100 powered by CheckRomâ„¢
Back to stock (or GB custom rom) & wait for official ICS if you really want to get rid of the problem.
When Google Market switched to Play Market or whatever the new name is, I found that where I had it on my home screen was broken and needed to pulled from the app drawer again. It even needed a reboot first.
Again, just now almost, I had a problem and resolved it the same way but this time it was more apparent because I had a broken icon on the home screen as well. Same thing; had to pull it from the app drawer.
Both times this happened while I was in the middle of updating apps.
There is this possibility, long shot as it may be...

[Q] Google Play stuck "Downloading", help?

So I just flashed viperROM and rooted via the RegawMOD. Whenever I try to download a app from the Google Play store, it just refuses to download. It'll display the "Downloading" dialog and the icon will pop up in the notification bar, but it won't actually download. I've already tried clearing the Play Store's cache and the Download manager's cache. It didn't help. I am connected to the internet. When I tried downloaded the SwiftKey 3 beta off of their website, it worked. Anyone know how to solve this problem?
i rooted with regawMOD too and i locked my bootloader back and unrooted and i am having the same problem.i even ran ruu and still having the same troubles.
Did you try clearing the data in the google app store in addition to the cache? You will have to sign back in I think but that would be the next step. Otherwise I suppose just wait awhile and try again later after a reboot or something.
I had a similar problem and what I had to do was create a new google account then log into the play store with that account and delete my old google account. Once that's set check if you can download an app with your new google account. If you can then you should be able to log in with your old account and solve the problem.

I did try clearing everything. It still wouldn't work.
I noticed this the day I bought the phone.
It's really annoying when I've got app updates. If I click on the batch update button to update multiple apps, it won't complete unless I stay on the update page and keep the phone from going to sleep. Otherwise, the first app will update and the rest will stall on "downloading". This happen pre and post root.
Very annoying.

its not you, its the service again.... i just flashed CM9 on my TF101 and am having the same issue as you describe .....probably an apple injunction on app patent infringement
not sure if this helps but worked for me.disconnect from your wifi if connected and just try to redownload the app.my wifi is good but foe some reason it won't work with wifi.
Not sure what is going on...mine isn't working either. My girlfriend is on straight talk, the t mobile part, i am on straight talk also, the att part. Neither are working on wifi or cell data. Stuck at downloading.
Its working again, i didnt do anything except try later

I am having this for 2 weeks, 2 phone have the same issue. Try to flash different ROM but fail
It must be google, what the heck they are doing!
Really irritating.... I, too, have this issue occasionally, usually on a large download ... like Sky Safari Pro (570 mbytes). Two months of this and my Note freezes during the episode. Only solution I have found is to turn off WiFi, power down, remove SIM and restart. Only then can I kill the download in Google Play. I have seen this on 3 different stock ROM's and 3 different Customs. GB and ICS. Currently on ICS XEU.
Usually waiting an hour or two and then it's okay.... batch updates are a real killer with this and I also see the first download okay then the rest hang and have to be shut down manually.
Google????????
Looks like this thread is closed..coz its back to working here..
Now i'm experiencing the same exact thing. T_T

[help] ray: gmail app not getting new mail automatically

Get mail at right moment is kinda important to my job:
I'm with this gmail (newest version): it's about a month, and it's not auto check, even when I open the app and refresh my self, it only get new mail at second or third try. I tried uninstall and reinstall, turn off and on syncing, restart, move in system app and back out, internal, link2sd, everything I can think of, it still not working. I check my sync setting and it's always hours since last sync.
My play store have similar problem too: if I install app from pc browser, I will need to open play store app before it start download and install.
Shoud I flash the rom again? Or sync setting get interrupted by something or google server have problem with my region?
The new Gmail has a bug on ics as I read in play store. Try download older version and replace Gmail.apk in system/app set right permission. Btw I use pac rom with justunbean inverted gapps (Gmail 4.2.1 inside) and I have no problem with sync time. Sometimes my phone notify me earlier as my pc.
Sent from my Xperia Ray using xda premium
Are you sure you enabled auto sync in settings?
I will try older version right away, thanks Wenchy, maybe back to the version come with rom first.
Thanks mihahn but I'm not that much uninformed :laugh:
UPDATE: roll back to the version come with rom kinda fixed it, still much much slower than the app tab of firefox
The Vending.apk auto update itself as soon as I replaced it in adb, I dont mind open store every time installing something from pc that much, so I will let is slide.
UPDATE2: look like it's just temporary fix, It's been over 10 mins since the last new email and the app still not get any notification at all. I got one right away notification 20 mins ago, but that's all it take.

Are you sure, that after replacing the gmail.apk the play store doesn't updated it to newest version?
Which rom do you use? It is ICS or JB? Maybe you should use modded gmail and/or playstore. (the modded one doesn't display in "my installed apps" in play store, so the store don't update it automatic. And i have v3.10.9 play store and this don't updates himself too)
Have you checked emails (maybe you have other email adress too) with simple email set to sync time to 5 min? This works? Or it has sync fault too? If this has a fault too, than it can be your carrier problem.
One more question: do you have lot of apps running/syncing (weather, rrs, email, gmail, facebook, twitter app/widgets)
Lot of gmail apks are here: [App] Patched Gmail
Right now I'm give up on this issue (ICS) and trying other JB rom...
Thanks

Google play services has stopped.

Yesterday my phone starting giving me a google play services has stopped pop up. Seems to happen when I change from WiFi to cell network or vice versa. Its not a one time pop up either....it happens 5 to 6 times in a row. Occasionally need a reboot to make it stop....and after the reboot it still comes up once or twice

Mine started that yesterday too, but only when i restart the phone. A symbol also popped up on the notification bar that looked like a sim card with a question mark in it. Had to do a battery pull to make that go away.
im on sprint, and mine did the same thing yesterday evening. i get 2-3 pop ups immediately after reboot and then another 2-3 within 2 minutes of the reboot.
Yup me too. Says location services has stopped a few times then Google play services has stopped a few times. Happened randomly yesterday and the syncing icon was stuck in the status bar. The error messages pop up a few times after reboot as well but then don't see them again. Just a minute ago had the phone start locking up real bad and was lagging like crazy. Rebooted and it started up and after about 20 seconds it rebooted again on it's own. Back to normal for now *knock on wood* but that's the first "problem" I've had with this phone. Think Google pushed an update that our G3's do not like.
I was thinking the same thing.... Google play services must have had an update pushed out and it's not playing nice for us. I didn't read anything about a play update though.

I've had the SIM with question mark since day 1. Think it's because not on Verizon. My Google play store stopped working until I restored. This happened about a week ago though.

Add me to the list. Both Google Play Services and Google Location Services are going screwy ever since about 10am PST.
It's starting to become unusable. I'm ready to go back to my Loki'd S4 and give this thing a factory reset. It's popped up 3 times just typing this message..... 4 now

I had location consent module for x posed and Google play store fixes module. I deleted both and so far no more pop ups.

Same here. Deleted the location consent module from xposed and all was good.
*If I have helped you please hit the thanks ?*
Apparently there was an update to Google Play Services from what I've been reading on Nexus forums and it hasn't played nice with certain apps...
- Tapatalked from the G3 -
That worked for me. I deleted that location concent module and haven't had a notification since.
Ever since the play services update on the 23rd, and including with all of the more recent updates, I continuously get play services has stopped errors and can not use google location services at all. These issues continue even after several factory wipes. After each wipe, the issue returns as soon as play services is updated and if for any reason the phone restarts, it gets stuck in a bootloop. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any tips that might help?

Have you used the LG Flash Tool to reflash the .TOT? If not I would try that. If there was some kind of system change you made the factory reset would only do so much. Such as when my build.prop got borked before it was known the build.prop for the G3 was too big to open on (most) mobile text editors a factory reset didn't help me and had to use the flash tool. Factory reset is the equivalent of wiping data and cache so if the error messages persist, and especially if your bootlooping, try the flash tool and .TOT.
I have actually been trying to use the flash tool to do just that, but can not seem to get the phone to go into download mode. Is it possible that only the cable that came with the phone will work for that? I have been trying using one that came with my old d2vzw.

I've actually had similar problems since Play Services updated, yesterday no matter what I tried to do I couldn't get the Play Store to connect. . and I tried all sorts of things trust me.
Only thing that fixed it for me was doing a factory reset, which obviously Sux but that's what did it. Hopefully you get it going!

Ok, so I think I've figured this out.
I'm on a T-Mobile note 3 running darthstalker 7,
I started getting this pop up about a week or 2 ago. Initially it would only happen upon enabling or disabling GPS.
Once I started trouble shooting it started happening much more frequently, and began to include a pop-up about location services.
I used titanium to roll back to a previous version of google play services and it seemed to stop. Then it auto updated and here come the pop ups.
I took a previous poster's advice and disabled the location confirmation module in xposed.
Then I restored an older version of google play services from titanium back up.
I let it auto update, upon update I got a notification [with the triangle exclamation point icon] about the service needing my permission.
Once I clicked the notification, yet another pop-up, but this one was different. It was Google play services asking for permission to allow apps access to my location. The interesting bit is that there was a check box for "do not ask me this again" which I checked.
Since I did this, no more force closes on Google play services or location.
Hoping someone else can confirm this works for them.
Hope this helps, hit thanks of it does.

Question Non-Samsung version of Google Messages?

Hey everyone. This is my first Samsung, so please excuse me if this has been discussed at length already. Is there any way to get the normal version of Google Messages on a Samsung phone? The huge MESSAGES header when you open up the app is very annoying and never happened on my Pixel 4 XL. I'd love to know!
Thanks!
Following since I'm also coming from Pixel. Why can't we just have Samsung hardware with stock Android haha.
Ok, I actually found this on another forum. Download the universal apk from another mirror site and store it on your phone. Go to the Play Store, uninstall updates of Messages and turn off auto update, go back to the Messages app and clear the cache, then install the other downloaded apk. Apparently, that works! They did say though that the app can't be updated by the Play Store. You have to manually do it. I haven't tried this yet.

It works just the way you said. But if you update in play store, it will revert to Samsung's version and it is going to force close

Yeah you'd have to turn up dates off and just manually update the regular version. Apk mirror is legit
So I use the Google Messages app on my S22+ (just as I did on my Note 10+). No sideloading necessary. This is Google's app from the playstore. No huge app header or anything.
Those headers are specific to Samsung's app design language. You need to remember that Google Messages and Samsung Messages have the same app name in the drawer, but the app icons are different.
i use/have used verizon message + on several samsung phones..pop-up on lock-screen + read message.
currently not a verizon phone.
