There's a decent chance the apps are having issues running on Jelly bean, did you install these yourself or did Google push them to you?

Device freezes when looking at app screenshots on google Play.

Hi I got a Brand new Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, great device, everything is perfect only problem I got is that when I'm in Google Play and want to look at the screenshots of an app, and swipe between them the device freezes, then vibrates and sends me back to Google Play, sometimes it gives me an error message, I have done like 3 factory resets but it doesn't fix it, any recommendations?
Thank You
Someone?
What version of Google Play are you on ? Have you tried Re-loading Google Play ?

I'm on the latest, which is 3.9.16. I have noticed that if the screenshots on google play are in landscape, there is no problem switching between them (eg. Nova), and if I hold the device sideways, I can switch between the screens even if they are portrait screenshots with no problem, wondering if there es a problem with the screen size, everything in any other app is perfect, I tried viewing pictures on the IMDB app and works perfect is just when clicking the images on google play.
thanks.
OK, the problem is related to google play 3.9.16, I know because in manage applicationd I uninstalled google play updates so it went to a previous version, and it works perfect, the problem is that it updates by itself back to 3.9.16 and the problem comes back. any ideas? maybe a way to stop it from updating?
Thanks

You can use Titanium Backup to keep it form Updating. Or you can go into Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Market Updater. Then Force Stop it from there. But I think you might also just want to try the latest version of the Play Store. You can find it v3.9.17 HERE. The article has the Download links, and info on what's new.

[Q] Unfortunately Google play has stopped working. After installing an app! HELP

So I have the pirate bay app on my AT&T htc one running stock jellybean. I cam across an app called Google play modded. Which I thought meant I can go in and customize the Google play store and delete the bloatware that come with the phone, but I found out that It was something totally different. So I went to uninstall it from the app drawer and It deleted the whole Google play store. I downloaded and apk file from some website which fixed it. but after rebooting I got this error. I then went to titanium backup and wiped the data. It fixed the crashes but now I for some reason am running the modded Google play app again. I deleted Google play services and google play app. rebooted my phone. It removed the modded Google play store and fixed everything, but whenever I try downloading an app It breaks everything.
I'm running Jelly bean 4.2.2 on stock android. HTC one.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello!
Did you try to copy the apk to /system/app, change the permissions to rw-r-r- and reboot the device?

I have SII international with Stock JB 4.1.2

Try clearing app data and caches of Playstore and Google Play Services, then reboot and see. :good:

[Q] Update to Google Play 4.9 incompatible?

Yesterday Google Play (com.android.vending) stopped working. It consquently crashed everytime I loaded it.
I restarted the tablet and Google Play was completely gone. All dependent apps (Google+, Gmail, etc) and apps that rely on Google Play for billing either stop working or have issues. I cannot install any apps now that Google Play is gone.
I updated the tablet to the latest firmware (I had the original 4.3 on there from around the beginning of the year) now I just updated to 10.4.B.0.109 to see if that helped but it did not.
(My Samsung phone has successfully updated Google Play the other to a new version 4.9.13 with a significantly different look and feel so I expect Google has rolled out a big update that has broken my tablet)
Has anyone else experienced this?
Same as me , my google play version 4.9.13, everytime i tap the menu from left-top button, it will crash.

Thanks letting me know.
Have you restarted your tablet yet since Google Play updated? It was crashing for me and was when I rebooted hat it completely disappeared.
Actually, i try clear cache and restart, still same result.
And i did factory reset, because it is a development machine, but no luck.
So it may be bug of this version.
The model is LG L9 P760
Strange. Works perfectly on my end (Tablet Z, .230, KK).

I faced with this bug. You have to revert to 4.8.20 and then install 4.9.13 as ordinary apk, reboot and it will work as promised.

I'm getting gapps FC on every reboot whenever I install a google keyboard (including L). Can't tell if it's actually affecting anything yet, but don't like the FC on reboot.

Are you running Xposed..., if you are disable it and reboot a couple times, could be from that. Just happens sometimes. If you're getting it that one time and nothing bad is actually happening don't worry.
Thanks. No, not running xposed. I may not worry about it if it's not affecting anything. Just see it on reboots.

That worked with clearing out the cache. Thanks.
Has anyone been able to get any other Android Lollipop apk files working? I cannot get gmail, google music, calendar, fitness, etc. to work on a rooted G3.
gmail, music, and others get the error message "application not installed because an app with the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed"
calendar just won't install at all, giving the error "not installed"
fitness installs but upon opening requires an update through the play store, but the play store is unable to find the app
I am running the latest version of google play services (6.1.83), on jasmine ROM with xposed installed and the "show all apps in play store" 240 dpi mod enabled as well as the G3 tweaksbox.
I could try going into the system/app folder and removing the gmail and music apks so I can update them, but I haven't tried it yet. mostly I'm concerned about the fitness app.
EDIT: I also tried the keyboard, and that installed okay, but any time I wanted to type any text the cursor would show up but no keyboard would show.
Thanks!

You could try removing the stock ones with TiBu then wiping cache and dalvic then try to install again.
If you back them up first using TiBu you'll be fine in case that doesn't pan out.

Pretty sure u will have to remove stock gmail...etc...replace with new apks...set permissions. That's what I've read so far. U can do this with root explorer or whatever root file browser u prefer.

I tried this. Google music and lollipop keyboard are working. Fitness.apk gives the same error as before, Gmail quits on boot (repeatedly) and if renamed to Gmail2.apk, downloads an "update" from the play store that reverts it back to the 4.4 version (previously the farthest I could get was "welcome to the new gmail" and you can watch a video about the changes, but once you say "Ok, got it", it force closes. Clearing the gmail data prevents the force closing at boot, but will not allow the app to get past the "ok, got it" screen.

Do u happen to have the newest version of play store installed? Just checking.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
I think so - I am using play store 5.0.32, play services 6.1.83. both install just fine on 4.4.2. I also tried everything with the previous 4.9.X versions of both, but that wasn't very productive.
I tried removing the gmail apk and all instances of com.google.android.gm, which I could find in /system/app, /data/app, and /data/data, then installing the gmail 5.0 apk or placing it in /system/app and setting permissions to rw-r--r--. Both of these result in a "disabled" gmail, which can be "enabled" in the play store. Enabling results in multiple force closes and the app cannot be opened. I wiped the app data and tried again to no avail. I then resorted to deleting gmail 5.0 through TiBu, and then tried installing directly from the play store. This results in a "version not supported" error during download, and the installation can not be accomplished. At this point I tried reverting to gmail 4.9, but it can't be installed, giving the "application not installed" error after going through the installation process.
Fitness.apk still opens and requires an update through the play store which cannot be found.
I wiped everything and reinstalled JasmineROM this morning to get a working gmail. I will update gms and play store to 5.0 versions soon.
The keyboard Force closes in landscape.

Yea the messenger seems to not be working for those on Stock ROMs, maybe someone has figured out how to use on stock if it's possible but I'm not sure myself, as I've said before I'm not on stock so it's working fine for me.
Hopefully once bump comes out and AOSP ROMs are available for the masses, messenger can then be enjoyed by more people.
