[q] nexus 7 - android 4.2 upgrade problems - please help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. My Nexus 7 upgraded yesterday to 4.2. Everything is running correctly except that all of a sudden, last night, I could no longer access Google+ or Google Messenger; instant upload (which goes to G+ stopped working); and none of my apps will update. When I try to refresh Google+ I get the following message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hitting refresh only returns the same message. I tried logging out and logging back in and it will not take my log in. Instead I get an error message telling me that G+ is unable to connect to the servers. I checked my internet connection and everything is working correctly. In fact I have no problem accessing Gmail, calendar, youtube Drive, GVoice, Etc (all on the same account).
When trying to update apps sitting in the update list, I get the following error if I try to update them individually:
If I hit update all, all the updates fail with the same error:
By comparison, I'm not having this issue on either a Galaxy Nexus or a Transformer Prime, both running 4.1 (they both continue to work correctly).
I'm at my wits end and short of doing a factory reset and hope that fixes things I have no clue what could be going on. Of course trying to find someone to speak to at Google is like finding hen's teeth. If anyone could advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, really helpful. This is why I hardly post here anymore. You ask for information and some numb-nuts always has to answer with something stupid like "just root it".

I was actually wondering if you have root, I will never encourage people to root when a problem can be fixed in a different way. Upgrading to 4.2 doesn't have to mean that you did it using stock-software.

Found a fix (no thanks to AmeesingNoob). I had to purge the Nexus 7 of all the Google accounts (Settings -> Accounts -> Google Accounts -> select the actual individual account(s) -> open settings menu -> remove account). You can remove all the accounts and your device will still function. Now make sure you are on WiFi and add your Google account back: (Settings -> Accounts -> Add Account). once you do that several Apps (mainly Google ones) will prompt you to allow access. once you get past that, everything should be back to normal - no need to do a factory reset and no need to root.

Do you have google+ installed? If yes, you probable have the latest version. I have the same problem, I just download another version (not the last one) and it works again. Or maybe you have remove some apps before flashing?

[Q] Cannot acces Google Play

Hi guys, i'm just a newbie on android phones and rooting phones, recently I have just bought a SGS3, and I have rooted it following the instructions on a thread on CF-auto root, and I have successfully rooted my phone, and I used an App called Freedom, which enables me to buy golds or coins in apps for free, and after awhile, I unrooted my phone, but after that, I cannot access Google Play, it says no connection, I think I was caught by Google Play for buying golds or coins for free. I have unsyncing my account, and creating a new one, but when I create new accounts or logging in, it always says "can't establish a reliable connection to the server. this could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. if it continues, call customer care." BTW, I have checked my connection, and it works properly. Can anyone help me with my problem? Thank you

It's not has anyway to finish this process. We can't exit browser sign-in, when click exit that process add google account is cancel.
Same issue, Google account gets stuck during browser sign in
I have the same problem with my recently repaired (and factory reset) Samsung tablet. I am prompted to sign in using the browser and I get to the same My Account page as pictured above. But after following all the links and doing the various checks, there is nothing else to do. When I hit the device context menu, I'm given the option to exit the browser sign in, but nothing else. Any help would be appreciated.
Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition
I figured out my tablet's problem
My tablet was unable to finish the sign in process with the Google 2-factor authentication enabled. I hope that this helps @supakwong or anyone else who encounters this problem.
Solution: I went into my Google account settings and turned off the 2FA and then tried adding the Google account to my tablet again. The sign in process immediately worked and didn't require me to sign in using the browser. After making sure I could access things like the Play Store, I turned the 2FA back on.
After turning the 2FA back on, in tablet required me to log back into my Google account, but this time it worked great.
Ugh. This is ridiculous. I was hoping there was a better solution than turning off 2-factor, because all my application specific passwords etc will need to be redone.
And... there's our answer. Just create an application specific password and use that to set up your account on your device. Worked like a charm for me. No removing 2-factor.
It's seem happen to not specific phone, I got this problem too.

Question what is responsible for "update available" and how do i clear its cache and data?

im rooted. and for some reason yesterday i got a update (25 mb)available notification. and now it is bugging me every few hours to connect to wifi and update.
im not interested in new bugs and the april update has no benefit for me, so what system app is resposable for this and how do i , disable it, clear its cache and data. so it will go away?
maybe ill update in may, but it will be manually. or i will go to proton or some custom rom if google still does not fix dirty pipes by then
Disable OTA updates... if rooted you have many apps to choose from to do it.
On my stock Samsung phones it's the first thing I disable.
Autostarts can be used to find it, and presumably kill it on a rooted device.

If you have the option to clear the system cache try that. Try temporarily toggling Developer options off, sometimes it goes buggy.
Sometimes it's another system app doing it. Google play Services is always a menace...
From time to time I explore settings looking for things I missed... still finding stuff after over 2 years
With notification issues I eventually track them down. I don't upgrade and rarely update in part because I don't want to go debugging all over again.
From my experience on OnePlus, Google Services (e.g. play store and its system components) is used to push OTA updates. Sometimes you get this notification, sometimes you wake up to root being missing and a new, unwanted OS loaded.
Its a long jihad to get rid of all the Google stuff (and still have all your other apps work), but it can be done...

On Samsung's firmware upgrades/updates come through these 2 apps.

If the updates are coming through Playstore you can either disable Google play Services temporarily or use a firewall to block Playstore.

Phone Link on Windows 11 can't open hyperlinks

I finally updated to Windows 11 64 bit a couple days ago and the only problem I've found so far is that when clicking on hyperlinks in messages, nothing happens. Has anyone else experienced this and have a solution?

Thanks for that but I've already tried that and it didn't work. I saw that posted for pre-Windows 11 and it rarely worked then either, although for some people it worked for a day and then reverted back. I never had this problem until I updated to Windows 11, which is why I think it's related.
Another thing that happened when I reset the PC and Android apps is the Notifications section of the left third of the screen like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I didn't have that before, so I can I remove it? All I want to see are the contacts my messages are from and the messages themselves.

Seems as though as many soft resets, hard resets, doesn't matter how many times one will reset - it turns out to be another Microsoft Annoyance.
-- This work-around seems to do the trick for some folks until the issue is addressed by the dev team - but even the work-
around can be annoying depending on each individual.
I have this problem too. I can open links on all but one of my devices. Now that I think about it, it might be the only one running Windows 11. Very frustrating.
Sorry I do not own phone link. I have the old your phone version on w11.
