If its a game that runs off of servers, you can use mobile network and he can use your hotspot simultaneously. However a game that runs locally can not be used because your phone can't connect to its own WiFi network.

Newest play store

Has anyone had the issue of the newest play store downloading terribly slow? Mine does it on most apps and some are fine updating and new apps. I don't see a pattern on the apps either

Mine is much faster. What are you using to download applications? 3g 4glte or wifi?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
WiFi or lte which are both good and fast

I had one app that crawled and then gave me a bad signature error. Restarting the download went fast and was problem free. It's more likely your connection.
Try wiping the data and cache of the play store app and see if it improves.

Solved: turn off wi-fi. Download using mobile data instead. Stupid if you ask me.

Can't say I've ever had that problem, my phone stays connected to Wi-Fi nearly 24/7 except for when driving or out eating as I have it connected to Wi-Fi at home and work. Never once have I had any issue with downloading pictures/videos sent via text while connected to Wi-Fi.

I've had this issue when coverage was spotty and it was talking a while to download. It eventually downloaded but it did take longer than normal.

Mine automatically picks up mobile data and downloads and sends the picture when connected to WiFi. Have you messed with your APNs? Have you tried flashing a new modem/radio?

Auto retrieve is enabled. I haven't messed with the APN. I have flashed a new modem. No different results.

App name? Have you contacted the developer? Usually if that is hard coded into the app there is no way to change it. If you got the app from Amazon, it may be your settings denying you but that's a guess.

Play Store Stuck Downloading on BOTH my Devices (HELP!!)

Ok, so lately I've been having trouble downloading large apps on both my S3 and my Nexus 7. I really want Grand Theft Auto SA on my tablet and it gets stuck at the same percentage every time on both devices. I've cleared cache and done everything and nothing works. It does NOT happen over AT&T's network. Is there something screwed up with my wifi network? Is there a setting I can change? I know for a fact it's not device specific because it happens on my S3 and both Nexus 7's I've tried it on. Please help, I want to download some games. I have a very fast 30 m/bit xfinity unlimited plan. Thanks for any help. - Loren :what:

Hello Loren... it happened even to me and I uninstalled Play Store ( that you can do only with a rooted device and a propper application) then I re- installed it after it started to work normaly.... if this does not work for you you can use a computer to download apps from Google Play to your phone..... you have to connect the device to your pc with a usb cable and activate Wi Fi and use the Play Store in your computer and after you searched the app you just click on install, select the device and it will install the app from the computer directly on your phone

I did what you said and attempted to install it via USB from my PC but it still downloads it from my tablet, getting stuck at 271 mb every time no matter what app it is.

There must be a problem with your device's software and/or internal memory

But why does it happen on three different devices? All getting stuck at 217 mb. Has to be a WiFi problem right?

Or just go on internet and search for the apk of the app you want to download... but this is not a safe way to do it
