Anyone else having issues on our HOX+ with network location being "stuck" in HTC Weather and in some (not all) apps (like Facebook, Google Earth and possibly foursquare)?
A reboot fixes this issue for a while, only viable solution is to use GPS.
Latest play store from here does not do anything, I'll wait for the update to be officially pushed just in case it does fix this.

Yes, I had the issue as well.. I spent two weeks figuring out what was going on, till I found a topic on the Google Product Forums.. Guess you did find it too, because you mention the new Play Store.
Right after installing the 4.1.10 Play Store and a reboot, nothing happened. So I followed a suggestion from that particular topic which was to "reinitialize the location services via Google Now"
This is what I did after installing the new Play Store and that first reboot afterwards:
- I disable the location services in Settings -> Locations.
- Go to Google Now (I enabled it, because it was disabled)
- It told me that all location services were disabled. I then enabled the location services (except gps), agreed with the privacy stuff
- On my phone, Google Now kept saying that all services are disabled. So it seemed there wasn't a single change..
- Second reboot: BINGO! Weather widget showed the name of the city instead of "current location" and everything was working again.
- Disabled Google Now.
I don't know if the Google Now stuff actually helped (I doubt it), or it was just the locations off/on switching and a second reboot, but hey... It works (for me)
Hmm didn't try to reinitialize the location services, that's probably why 4.1.10 didn't work for me
Gonna try now, quick question, how do I disable/enable Google Now? I'm in greek locale, I don't get an enable/disable option in Google Now settings.
edit: followed your instructions, sadly location worked for a while, now is broken again :/
rebooted again, location worked, tried after 20 minutes, location broke.

Hmm.. that's weird.. I am not sure what happens after 20 minutes.. It works allright the first 20 mins? (Clock widget shows your city name and touching "My Location" in Maps points to your current location etc?)
There is actually one thing I forgot to mention in my previous post that might be critical in the whole situation: I cleared the app data of 'Google Play Services' and 'NetworkLocations'.
In the last couple of days, I installed and uninstalled Google Play Services multiple times, but I am pretty sure that I didn't after I installed the new Play Store. But I'd recommend you to update Google PS to the latest version and wipe its app data, just to be sure. (Settings -> Applications -> All Applications -> Google Play Services). My phone is in Dutch, but I'm sure you'll get it!
dahwe it always shows a location in HTC Weather, its just that after a while (about 30 minutes to an hour) location in HTC Weather is stuck, doesn't change if I move to another city, and most other apps can't get a fix.
Weird thing is that Google Latitude works fine!
I just did the following steps, let's hope it will work:
1) Installed latest Play Store (link in first post)
2) Uninstalled Google Play Services completely
3) Disabled Location Services (all of them) in Settings -> Locations
4) Cleared data in the following apps:
a) Network Location (ver 1.1.10)
b) Location Picker (1.7.470938)
c) HTC Weather Location Service (1.0.222etc)
Reboot
5) Install download Google Play Services (3.1.36 669520-36 I think)
Reboot (once again)
6) Enable Location Services (except GPS) in Settings -> Locations
Reboot (yes, again, it's free )
Let's see if that does it.
By the way I may have discovered a workaround to the location issue. Seems that sometimes, when location breaks, simply checking and checking Location Services (except GPS) in Settings -> Locations fixes it for a while.
Will wait to see if it breaks again to test it out.
edit: after about an hour, location still seems to work.
edit: aaaaaand after a couple of hours, broken again.

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
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
Hey there,
if you are still a regular user of the good old GTab 10.1 - like my GF - you might have encountered this issue recently too.
Google has updated and does remotely update your Play Store Service to a version which is not supported anymore by this tablet, or the other way around, the app does not support our hardware anymore and the service keeps crashing and crashing, same with Chrome and Maps as far as I know.
Well I first thought something is wrong with the ROM or Gapps so I looked for a recent unofficial ROM and found the [ROM][Unofficial][AOSP] Android 7.1.1 Nougat and there was stated:
Incompatible apps:
The following apps no longer support the hardware in this tablet. They will not work on any ROM for this device. There is no hack to make them work.
Apps that do not support this tablet:
Chrome 50+
Google Translate
Gboard 6.0.79
Maps 9.45
Google Play services 10.2
Apps based on Unity 5 engine
Last known compatible versions:
Chrome 49.0
Gboard 6.0.69
Maps 9.44
Google Play services 10.0.84

Well I had a backup from 2015 on the GTab and restored it but immediately the service updated itself and it began to crash.
In the Above mentioned thread there was some1 writing
This worked for me (for disabling Google Play Services auto-update) :
- disconnect wifi
- disable auto-update apps in Google Play Store
- in Settings / Apps, GPS, 3-dots menu, Uninstall updates, so back to v10.0.84....
- in App info, Data usage, disable Unrestricted data usage
- reconnect wifi
Now GPS doesn't seem to auto-update anymore.
Best regards

Sadly this does not seem to work for me. I was thinking about Titanium backup to freeze the GPS but I am not sure if this will work.
Also flashed manually a GApps Version which had the older play store in it but also got overwritten immediately
So have you encountered this issue and how did you fix it?
Thanks
Did you make sure to turn off auto update apps in Google Play store? That combined with the other steps listed worked for me and my Galaxy Tab play services has NOT updated... And it works fine, though it still occasionally crashes, but not every ten secons.
Thank you for this information. I've been banging my head on the wall for a few days while searching the cause.
I'm facing exactly the same problem.
I don't have the "Disable unrestricted data usage" option in Google Play Services Data Usage.
There is only "Restrict app background data", but this one doesn't prevent GPS from update.
In the next day GPS updates automatically to version 10.2.* and crushes.
have you tried this ? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832
tl;dr create 2 folders at /data/app : com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk . Done that today, but still need to test on the long run.
I tried this and it worked - for a couple of days. Now some apps are complaining they are unlicensed
Well I was able to disable GPS completely but now, as stated above, apps are complaining and there are now no app updates availible and the complete store is disabled, not really what I was looking for. But I guess Google now really fu:cyclops::cyclops:ed us. So are we done with this tablet or what?

My p4wifi is working fine on the latest 7.1.1 ROM and the older GApps. Disabling automatic updates in the Play Store keeps regular apps from updating when we don't want them to.
Disabling the background data settings in Apps.... Google Play Services... Settings keeps GPS from updating itself.
(I'm not sure that I made the settings change in Developer Options or not.)
It might be worth reading through the posts in the 7.1.1 thread.
I can afford a new tablet, but cannot find anything this size that keeps the ROM current with Google releases.
(I also do not play games or need esoteric applications.)
Don't give up yet.
Is this a solution?
https://www.xda-developers.com/unshackle-your-device-from-the-google-play-store-with-apkupdater/
I also deleted cacche from Gps & blocked the internet connection wth Afwall.
Tried the solution of lebaronrouge in 5.1.1 rom topic.
Seems to work.
Got my mate 10 pro with vodafone on Friday. Love the phone. Amazing camera and got a great deal.
Problem is the play store! It stops opening and the only way to fix this is to clear the data on the google play store & google play services.
Is this a known problem? Do I need to wait for an update or should i factory restart. Once it works again after the data is cleared after a very short while it stops opening again. Pressing on the icon simply does nothing.

Hi, this seems to be an individual issue as my Mate 10 Pro works in the Play Store with no problems. Factory reset may be helpful.

try close all wifi and cell data .. then force close the google play store then clear cash and data then disable so it will ask you to reset to old version press yes .
then also do it with google play services .
after that remove your google account email for google , then open the store and re put your google email and i think it will work fine
ended up doing a full reset which was not really fun but hey it worked..

Either you allow the phone to control this automatically, or you can do it manually: the latter possibility is the one I turned on as I wanted to have the control over the apps. Apparently, this was a bad choice as it stopped the apps from getting the information from the internet?
After I switched it back to completely automatic, all apps were working normally again. This is something that Huawei should address as I don't believe this should happen .
This fixed the issue for me.
Thanks!

Yeah. I set Gmail to manual and it stopped receiving emails. Which is weird as it should do the exact same things if you enable all in manual. Switching to manual fixed it.
And another issue is Last pass, it gets killed after a while if Launch is set to auto. I set it to manual and its been kept alive for the whole day.
I recently got a black shark 3 pro CN version from Giztop (2 days ago). Device is great and I absolutely love it. However I noticed an issue whilst using Google maps or any app that requires maps access. In Google maps, my location never gets pinpointed as nothing happens when I ask the app to access my location. Similarly, an app requiring Google maps service to work functions. I get an error saying 'google play services updating'.
Another issue I've noticed is if I use the Google play games app to launch a game, nothing happens. Which led me to the conclusion that my Google play services are not installed properly. And yes I've given permissions to all Google apps.
I've tried deleting my gapps and re-installing them using Google installer but that still hasn't fixed the issue. Please help me solve this issue, thank you.

Edit: I have solved the problem, using the steps in this link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/dkdwie/guide_how_to_fix_gps_and_notification_issues_for/
Now Google maps and Google pay + Google play games have started responding normally!
This is not the solution.
The solution is enable all permissions and autostart in all google services and also permit no restrictions in miui battery optimization.
And the last and most important stage, Enter Locations by clicking long press on the button in the status bar, enter app permissions, choose "google play services" and click "always allow".
Thats it, you don't need to touch the supl server.
There is only one problem I found out. The Google services framework service "No restrictions" always return to "Miui battery saver" after restart and need to set it again. That make the compass on google maps to not work properly if you leave it in battery saver mode.
Hope it will help.
I'm having the same issue (Google services are updating) and did everything all Google apps & services have full permissions and still not solved.
Anyone know how to fix it.
