[Q] Cannot remove app from play store - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo,
I have an S3. Some time ago I had an S4. Now I longer have the S4, but in my S3 in the play store->all I have an app called Samsung Video (S4,Note3) which says update. When I press on it, it says that it is not compatible with my device. So I assumed that may have been a left over from my old S4. Unfortunately there is also no the small X on top right to remove the app. I did a factory restore, which fixed the problem for a couple of days, but today the app reappeared.
Any suggestions?

Ehi
Anyone is metting problemi with nova?

S health constantly crashing. Any fix?

So before I rooted my s4 I tried the s health app and I could not get past the profile screen. I lost interest after a several attempts. I rooted my phone and still running the stock firmware. I figured after a roughly 1 1/2 months samsung would put through an update. I went to open the s health app and still no luck.
I'm on a version galaxy s 4 and was wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
Note: I searched before I posted and found no threads related to this issue.
Rooted S4
Clear app data?

Cleared app data and un installed updates. Once I set up the profile and hit next, I get a black screen and the app crashes with the error message " s health stopped responding". Very annoying as I had this problem since day 1.
Rooted S4
Is there anyone else on this board that is rooted and has a working s health apk?
Rooted S4
Ok so I floated over to the at&T Q&A section and apparently if you have the multi window hack installed on your phone it will cause the s health app to crash!.
I uninstalled the hack and immediately when I opened up s health an update was available. apk was update to version 2.1.5 and I have no issues any more. But i lost the multi window hack which was pretty sweet.
Workaround? Samsung multi-window manager from the Play store.
found a fix
Mutli window manager I got paid version but just add s health to black list it will update and wha la

[Q] Google Play Store Crash

Hello wise members of XDA,
This problem has been a tumulus week of trial and error to no avail.
About a week ago (approx. the time when the new web Google Play redesign went live), I've started having problems with my Play Store.
I wanted to open my play store, but it immediately crashed.
I'm on an international Samsung GT-I9100 (GalaxyS2), and this problem is not phone specific, because it occurs on a friend HTC Desire, and a Galaxy Note, and also a pair of Galaxy S Duos.
1. My phone was initially rooted, and I also had Market Enabler Installed. I thought that may be the problem, so I reverted the Market Enabler changes, but still crashed.
2. I went into applications and cleared the cache and data for the Play Store app, it again crashed.
3. Cleared cache and data for play store app, google framework services app, and everything with google in its name or connected to google, and it crashed again.
4. Did the same thing as no. 3, and then restarted the phone, and it crashed again.
5. Did a factory reset, and it crashed.
6. Reinstalled my Galaxy S2 Stock OS, but instead of just crashing, now the phone freezes and reboot is required.
7. Wiped everything on the usb storage and the other storage, and installed Stock OS, and it crashed again.
8. Rooted that brand new os install, and it crashed again.
9. Installed the new Play Store App (4.2.3) and it crashed again.
10. Downgraded Play Store app, and nothing, crashed again.
11. Is there anything left to try?
The problem is, when entering the play store it crashes. If somehow I open the play store so that the landing page of the play store is avoided, it works (e.g. If I google search for an app, and open the play.google.com link on my phone, and when it prompts me to open it via Play Store, then it is opened via play store). Then I can go into 'My Apps', but the 'installed' tab shows nothing, whereas the 'all' tab, shows the history of my installed and unistalled apps.
This problem is with 2 of my GalaxyS2, 2 Galaxy S Duos, Galaxy Note (N7000), and my friend's HTC Desire (running 4.2).
For any ideas, please chime in, I'm willing to try anything.
Currently I'm on stock 4.1.2 and rooted with Philz kernel.
Totally same for me i tried all above too but i think this problem will be common wide for all.
Pls a solution

Just found out another guy with a ZTE has this problem as well. I'm starting to think that this may be a regional problem.
Bump!
Anyone else experiencing this, or is it just one specific country?
Crash problem Solved
Ok, after going through the browser and updating the Google+ app, that initiated the Google Play Services update, which in turn fixed the Google Play Store crash problem.
Now the problem is the same as everyone else that is not living in the US. Getting geographical restricted apps.
For our country, there are NO apps at all.
Market Enabler, Market Unlocker Pro, and HotspotShield do not work. Anyone else have any ideas?

[Q] App starts only from Play Store ?!?!?

Hello,
since two weeks I've a strange behaviour from at least two apps on a Nexus 5 (unchanged, like Google made it). I can't start these apps from the app directory and not from the (google) launch screen, too. One shows only a white screen after starting, the other one crashes.
But I can start them from within the play store without any problem. One app was installed some months ago (and worked a long time well), the other one was installed after the problem occurs.
Has someone an idea what can cause this behaviour?
TIA...

SOLVED: Samsung Gear S will not download apps through Samsung Gear Manager on Galaxy

OK, this only took me all night to solve, and since I couldn't find anything in all of the Samsung and other Android help forums, I thought I'd put this here, just in case it might help someone else.
Just got a refurb Samsung Gear S, which I like quite a lot. Have a Samsung Galaxy 3 phone, so I figured I was set. I downloaded Samsung Gear Manager App from the Play Store. It recognized my Gear S, set up the preinstalled apps, and I thought all was good. Tried to download the tizen endomoto running app through the Gear S, and it says I have to do it through the Samsung Gear Manager.
Fine, go open it up, and touch the "download galaxy apps" button, and it flashes, and does nothing. I can update the smart watch software, communicate to the phone, etc - but the "download" button just flashes at me. Tried everything - reset the Gear S, re-paired, nada. Set the Galaxy 3 back to factory settings, reinstalled Samsung Gear Manager, same problem.
Turns out you have to install the Samsung Galaxy App store. You'd think this would happen automatically on a Samsung phone, but no. And of course, if you go to the Google Play Store, there is no Samsung Galaxy App store to install (except in Spanish, go figure). Since I don't read enough spanish to understand that this would work, I uninstalled it. But Samsung does put out apk's to install the Samsung Galaxy App store in English. You just have to find them. In this case, they are here:
Well, ****, XDA won't let me put in a URL because I'm a newbie. So do a Google search on "install samsung app store apk" and the top hit should be to apkmirror.com. You'll find it there.
Installed this (which also installs Samsung push and a few other things), and tada! you can donwload through the Samsung Gear Manager.
That was 12 hours of my life I won't get back - I hope this save you all some of yours.
BTW, really like the watch.
you rock

SideSync compatibility

Hi all,
I do not have my Honor 9 anymore (it got lost during warranty repair, I got money back and bought different phone), but today I noticed that in google play it is listed as compatible with samsung SideSync.
Anyone have tried if it actually works? It would be nice feature, but obviously I have no way of testing it.
I installed it and when you click on Start button, it crashes. After that you can't open it (you have to delete App data and after that it also crashes).
So, it doesn't work.
