Back when I was still using the Nexus 6P and it got the oreo update, I've noticed the notifications were broken for a lot of apps. After some research I've found out that restoring app backups via TB breaks notifications. However, there were still issues with some apps, and also the app update notifications from the play store were not working.
Before rooting my LG V30 everything was working fine, but now it's the same thing as before. Play store doesn't give update notifications, and also notifications for some crucial apps like XDA, Steam and Yahoo Mail aren't working. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I suspect it's titanium backup again (even though I didn't use it to restore any apps).
I'm currently on boombox rom, and aforementioned apps are set as an exclusion in the power saver.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I have/had (currently trying out a Note8) a US998 V30, and on the original stock Nougat software, I NEVER got Play Store updates, and I occasionally wouldn't get updates for other apps. I did restore using TiB, and sometimes I found that clearing the app data and signing in again (if necessary) would help. Disable/enable notifications in the app, etc would work sometimes too.
Regarding the play store updates... it was the weirdest thing. It would say "all your apps are up to date" but show 60+ app updates below it. I cleared play store data, play services data, signed out/in again, etc... and it wasn't until I installed the Oreo update that it was fixed. That, coupled with very poor battery life made me start looking for greener pastures, which is why I'm currently using a Note8. Unfortunately, between the time of ordering a Note8 and receiving it... I put on the Oreo update, which fixed all of my gripes on the V30, so I've got 2 phones that work well, and I'm still unsure of which I want to keep. I know... #firstworldproblems

Well my play store doesn't say no updates when I open it, there's just no notification when there's an update. It has nothing to do with LG V30, like I said the same thing happened with the Nexus 6P.
Definitely don't get push notification now that I'm rooted. It's not all apps and some I will get then notification if I open the app.
It's a really annoying problem which hope can be solved.
Notification worked fine for me on Oreo before rooting.
Phone is a H933, flashed to 998 and rooted. I do have xposed installed also.

It's really a weird thing, and what's even more weird is that not everyone is experiencing it.
I just opened the playstore and going in my apps list said there's 17 app updates, while I never got a notification for them.

You're confusing Play Store updates with app push updates.
It's not just rooted phones. So don't think that.
One of my V30+ is still not rooted and neither is my wife's genuine open market LG US998 V30, and neither of those get "notifications" of Play Store updates for my apps.
I've noticed if I reboot the phones and put them on a charger, THEN the phones will update. Or I can manually say update.
But I get push updates for emails, app notifications.

I don't get a notification for the updates of the apps installed through play store, and also don't get push notifications from certain apps, if that makes it more clear.
However, it worked perfectly before I unlocked and rooted.
So the issue with notifications occured after rooting, or it has to do with specific firmware version, or magisk/titanium backup/something else is causing it, who knows.

That seems to be problem with Play Store updates, and I have that problem on two non-rooted V30/V30+ phones in my house. So it's an Oreo issue or an US998 issue, but not a "root" issue.

Well I didn't restore any apps with titanium backup. I did however restore my apps with LG's backup and restore (which worked shockingly well)
I was on Oreo H933. Everything worked fine, play store update notifications (which I'm less concerned about) and all app notifications.
Also it's not all apps that have the problem. Gmail notifications work fine. Pushbullet does not, nor does kijiji. Pushbullet's notifications will show up when you open the app. Kijiji will never show notification.
It almost seems like the notification settings in the system are set to ignore them. Or that the apps are in sort of a deep sleep, in the case of pushbullet.
Flashed to US998 and rooted. Restored apps. Now of course I have root/magisk and xposed installed so it has to be one of those things. When I get a chance I might try and disable xposed and root/magisk.
It could also be the cross flash of US988 on a H933 but that's harder to test.
I didn't see it mentioned but is it possible to go back to H933 after rooting?
EDIT: OK, so I disabled adaway and minminguard, uninstalled and then reinstalled pushbullet and notifications are now working for pushbullet. I get the feeling its to do with restoring apps but I'll keep playing.
Worked on kijiji.
Uninstalled and reinstalled kijiji (didn't change anything else. adaway and minminguard are installed still) and notifications work now.
These apps where restored from an LG backup of my H933 on Oreo on my rooted now US998.

Can anyone else confirm that the G-Talk app no longer works/signs in? Whenever I try signing in, all of my contacts and my own contact are permanently grayed out, despite having internet connectivity (tested both over wifi and cellular). When I tried installing Hangouts, this issue was no longer present, Really sucks because Hangouts is a major step backward from Google Talk for obvious reasons (no status messages, shows people who are away/busy as offline, bloated layout, bloated contacts list, doesn't show online status of people you are chatting with in same window, generally confusing UI, etc.)
Tried on Samsung SM-N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) but I do not believe this issue is device specific.
Thanks.
This is currently happening to me, although it works on a new install of my current ROM. This makes me wonder if a Play Services update (or similar service) killed it intentionally. I'm going to let everything update after a new install, while it's working, and see if it dies.
I'm seeing the same thing. It works if I update to hangouts.... ugh
So now I guess our next step is to figure out what service is killing Talk and revert that as well. Because as I said this works on a new install of my ROM that was built before whatever was pushed.
I don't have a problem with you updating an app - but if you're going to force me to use the updated version, don't strip it of the features that made it great! Looks like Google has officially gone astray from their old slogan of "Don't be evil."

What phone/version are you using?
---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------
I found the culprit. It's Google Play services, which was updated Nov 5.
Uninstalling the update gives me gtalk connection back, but maps doesn't like it.
Looks like we need to find the apk before the update and prevent it from autoupdating
I can confirm that uninstalling the Google Play Services updates allows Talk to work fine again (Nexus 4). Also that some functions like "improved location" in Maps are asking for this update back.
What I don't really get is that I never enable auto-updates, only pick them manually, and that Talk suddenly stopped working last night. Even though the last Google play services update i did was at least a few weeks ago...sleeper feature? Or is Google Play Services updated anyway in the background? I'm not sure that finding the version prior to the one published on Nov 6th will fix the issue, at least without any drawback...
Google and its f*cked up Hangouts are really pissing me off. Forced updates, forced apps, I'm starting to feel like I'm dealing with Apple here.

Agreed. I don't mind even mind the update though. The reason there is forcing involved is because Google removed Talk's most important features and expects us to just deal with it. If things keep going this way, my next phone may very well be an iPhone or a Windows phone. I can't support a company that forces its customers to use featureless junk. Google needs to realize that while it still has the largest chunk of the market, there are two other major players, and they are not invincible by any means.
I'm using imo.im, at least for the time being.
Same here, I´ve noticed that Google Play Services update is the bad guy. The Hangouts (crap) works after the update. I removed the Google play services updates and gtalk worked again bit now the triangle with the exclamation about google play services keeps anoying me.
I´ve noticed on GPS (google play services) update, theere are two new permission requests and one of them is turn on/off network...
I´m sticking with gtalk and the triangle error
Sorry for my english, is not my native language.
Update: After disabling google+ notifications, the triangle on status bar has gone
Ugh. Kit Kat came with this all pre-loaded. I did install the Talk APK but yeah, it can't login. Not sure what I can force-downgrade to get it to work without breaking stuff too badly. Anyone have any ideas?
I really, really can't stand Hangouts. It's not an IM program.
On my Nexus 4, reverting Google play services allows me to use Talk again, but I noticed I am now unable to send mails with the Gmail app. I can receive just fine, but no way to send...anyone having this too (with the factory version of gplay services)?
Also the network icon constantly gets grayed out. It seems to be working fine... Strange though.
I update the gplay services again, no Gmail is too much to ask for me.
I'll use another messenger while waiting for a new gplay services update to come out. Or maybe waiting to get an previous apk that keeps the overall functions working just fine.
I remember when I would proudly feel satisfied with having chosen Google and Android over the rest. Hm not so much today. Wouldn't really quit android, but damn I hate seeing it weakened by those socially-networked-marketing-alterations.
If anyone has a decent backup for gplay services that allows talk AND the rest to work fine, I'll be interested! Gotta say I have the previous version (the one right before the Nov 5th update) in a nandroid bkp, and somehow Talk doesn't work anymore with it.

First off, I have suffered from the same issue but found a solution. Secondly everyone should be aware that it depends on the Android version you are currently running if the Google Play Services can be downgraded without an issue. The best version that works with talk, maps & gmail is 4.0.31... if anyone needs a copy let me know! -RFE
I can confirm this issue... It is rather frustrating that I now have to use hangouts.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the S4. On my S2 Google Talk works and on my S4 it doesn't. The both have the updated version of Google Play Service. So as for me that's not the solution.
I'm still trying to figure out a way for Talk to work on my S4.
Hangouts has grown on me. It was a bit bulky at first, but the UI is the same as Gmail and the new email app for 4.4 so I've gotten used to it. Plus now it can handle SMS messaging too its essential.

It just doesn't do what I want it to do. I don't want all my contacts mixed in the same basket. IM contacts, email contacts, gmail contacts and phone/SMS contacts are NOT the same pool and I don't want them to be in the same pool. I want to be able to logout of IM and have people in the IM pool NOT BE ABLE TO CONTACT ME, for example - and right now I don't even have that anymore even if I never ever use Hangouts (which I don't). People can IM me when I'm offline and it goes to gmail and sits there for a week or two until I open gmail.
Again, I have no problem with Hangouts as The Big Social Integrator, but they should've left Talk out there for those of us who do not WANT it all integrated.
Now, you guys probably have seen a few of these threads from the past but hear me out:
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 today with this method, and it successfully rooted my phone. But when I tried launching Google Play/related apps or Gmail, and I'm on my wifi (I don't know if this is just mine, or if it will not work over any wifi, cannot test yet), I either get Server Error or No Connection. Also, notifications say that my connection is unstable despite the fact that it wasn't before root. I narrowed down the Server Error to Adblock Plus, but I get No Connection on my wifi with it disabled. It worked fine before root even with Adblock Plus, but now it's being weird after. I've tried MarketEnabler, clearing the Google Servives Framework and Google Play data/cache, unlinking my Google account, reinstalling Google Play, etc. But all to no avail. Reflashing gapps is not an option because I do not have a custom recovery because of a locked bootloader. So what else could I possibly do to fix the issue? I don't want to have to download all my apps with data because that could rack up huge charges for big apps. I also do not want to have to unroot or restore factory defaults. I haven't touched any apps (besides freezing TouchWiz Home, because I use a different launcher, and Knox Notification Manager in Ti, which shouldn't even affect Google Play or Gmail). So, yeah. That's my issue.
May be a silly question, but have you tried restarting your s4? I have gotten those errors before and a restart helped. I'm on mj7 stock rooted from old and slow and I get the wifi connection unstable when I'm close to out of range.

That's not something that anyone has reported. I'm assuming that you've removed Adblock Plus (however, that shouldn't have any impact here.)
It's strange that the Wifi problem only happens with Gmail and Google Play.
What I'd suggest is to uninstall the Google Play updates, then reboot. That'll start you with a known good Google Play app. Then, reinstall the updates using Google Play.

No, I have not removed Adblock Plus. Just turned it off when testing. Uninstalled updates for Google play, it factory-restored to 4.3.11, issue still occurs. Google Play updated, issue persists.
I just found out what the problem was. I had Adblock Plus before root, and had custom network configs. Turns out, since ABP was no longer routing the connections, certain apps couldn't connect. I got rid of the configs, and started Google Play, and BAM it connected. So, I fixed the problem.
Out of nowhere I keep getting force closes of the google play services and google play location service on boot. It also happens at random points when the phone is on. Any ideas on what could cause this? I am rooted

I'm having the same problem too. I just switched from a Sony Smartwatch 2 to the LG G watch, and I though it had something to do with the Android Wear apps. I ended up doing a factory reset and Titanium restore, thinking that should solve the problem. Five minutes ago I got the same Google Services message. Prior to the reset, I was getting frequent Google Location Services pop-ups as well.
Wow... this is annoying.
Same, trying to find the previous version of Google services.
Are you guys using google keyboard or stock lg keyboard.
Same error for me since using Google keyboard, but I can live with that

I'm running SwiftKey. For now, I've just disabled notifications for Google Play Services.
I guess my issue was my own fault. I had the location notification hider installed with xposed. I uninstalled it and it seems to be fine now. It was just weird I've had it installed for weeks and it all of a sudden started screwing up.

Glad I could help!
Hello guys.
Many users, including me, stumbled across this problem the past couple of days.
There seems to be an issue with the latest Google Play Store version, which becomes stuck on waiting for network if you try to download something at random times.
This is very frustrating but I found a fix, although temporary until Google updates the play store.
WARNING: This requires root. Also I am not responsible for any damage that happens to your phone, proceed at your own risk as always.
Without further ado, this is what this fix is about:
Go to apps, press the three dot menu on the top right, show system apps, and find Google Play Store.
Once in Google Play Store, press remove updates, or disable and enable the app again, both ways work.
If you see in the notification bar that Google Play Store is updating, CANCEL IT.
Now, this is where is gets interesting.
Normally the Google Play Store will update itself, but we want to stop that until a later date where a fix is pushed out.
Download the app called MyAndroidTools.
Open the app and select the service menu, press system.
Scroll down to Google Play Store.
Find a switch named SelfUpadteChecker and turn it off.
Voila, your play store will now be working properly.
REMINDER: This is not a permanent solution, remember to check again if the play store is fixed at a later date to enable the switch again and update to the latest version.
Have a nice day all.
EDIT 3/4/17 : I found out that these switches may further help stop Google Play store from updating.
Again use at your own risk.
AsldListener
MaintainanceWindowJobService
RescheduleUsingAlarmManager$CheckWifiAndAutoUpdate
RescheduleIUsingBroadcast$AutoUpdateRecheckFrorBroadcast
RescheduleUsingJobScheduler$CheckPreconditionsAndAutoUpdateJobService
SeflUpdateCheckerScheduler$SelfUpdateCheckerTaskService
EDIT 5/4/17, second way.:
I still recommend the first way because it seems the issue is still not resolved, but this may appeal to users who want something less intrusive or don't have root.
I found out that the issue is not yet resolved with the latest google play version, but I was able to make play store work again with the following :
Cleared data of Download Manager with Titanium Backup.
Clered data of Google play services with Titanium Backup.
Rebooted.
I have no idea if this will last, but I was able to download apps after this, without touching the latest verion of Google Play Store.
If you wanna be extra safe uninstall updates from play store as well, but this worked for me without doing so.
Update: 7/4/17:
Zte announced a new software update, namely B02, which should fix this issue without any user actions required.
Thanks @Choose an username... for reminding me.
Hope it works.
Thanks!
What I did was to download an earlier version of the Play Store, install and before running it for the first time, I disabled the SelfUpadteChecker.
But for some reason, the Play store still tried to download the update, it just crashed after the download. The funny thing is, during the 5 seconds between starting Play Store and the crash, I was able to download an app update.
Which version of Play Store should I use?
Just to clarify, I use the Chinese firmware, so I cannot remove updates, it is not a system app. I can only uninstall it completely.
.
Thanks man. It is working on me right now.
Glad it does.
If it helped hit that thanks button.
I'll update it soon with some further findings as well.

unbrick one is my friend's. it is cn version, mine is good.
It doesn't require a root. Just cancel updating after you uninstall updates and you are good for some time at least.
On mine, it seems to use the Download Manager app for ALL downloads, including the Play store. If you go to the settings in Download Manager, you'll see a "Download files only via Wi-Fi. Untick that box and Play Store starts working properly again.
I can only assume that the crappy Download Manager is intercepting and controlling all download requests.

I doubt it, it can't work on a supposedly uncertified device and all of a sudden stop working.
Or the device showing up as certified and all of a sudden becomes uncertified.
I personally think a play store update is broken most likely, because it has been reported from rooted and stock users, plus on other devices rather than the Axon 7 as well.
Guide updated.
@nfsmw_gr You should prolly write down somewhere in the OP (preferrably big, and where it says that it is not a permanent solution) that ZTE announced an upcoming B02 with fixes including this one.
It shouldn't be too far away since it has already rolled out to Chinese versions.
thanks for the fix though

https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/bugfix-raw-appdrawer-update-a2017g-t3585515
Note that I only have one Google account on the device
I bought a brand new sealed Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. I setup the device for the first time and went straight to updating to Marshmallow which then allowed me to finally update to Oreo. So then I tried to install an app that I already paid for. But it said I didn't pay for it (says $3.99 instead of INSTALL). So I thought that maybe it's from a fishy developer who makes their apps temporary free (P.AG.F.) and pulled the rug from under me. But then I noticed all of my paid apps are UNPAID. So then I decided to go for a legit developer who I was confident is a good developer (Nova Launcher Prime), and even on the Play Store page it said I have to pay money for it even though I already purchased it on my Google account. Even when I click on "Purchased Apps" the apps show as purchased, but as soon as I go to the app's page, it show as unpaid.
So I decided to maybe factory reset the device. Nope. The problem persisted. I checked for an OS update past Android 8.0.0. There was no update. So then I decided to lookup an APK mirror for Google Play Services (using Play Services Info), and I downloaded the correct app for my device (architecture and dpi). I installed the latest Play Services. But in Play Services info it shows that my newly installed App is still the old version from 2016. On Play Services Info it says I need to install the 2018 version (obviously I tried to). It didn't do anything. Still did not work
I am wondering if I got a botched update of Oreo. What do I do? I am out ideas at this point. Man what the heck???
EDIT: Play Services version 12.6.88 (also the updated OS install this version)

I'm sure it's not the device. Check to make sure you have the latest version of play store. You can do that using the three bar menu in play store and going to settings.

Play store is up to date. Play services is also up to date. I can't even downgrade play services to a version below 12.6.88.

That's interesting. Mine is 10.2.06 and says it's up to date. It's also working fine. Did your device update to Oreo on it's own or did you flash it with Odin? You're in the US, right?
Edit, my play services is 12.2.85. Play store is 10.2.06

Also, make sure you are not in your "Secure Folder" when running play store. It will not access your account properly and will force you to pay for everything again.
Can you access Play store from a computer? Do you still see the apps you paid for?
Otherwise, I'd contact Google Support and see what is wrong with your account.

Oh man what the heck. What do I do? My device won't let me downgrade. Oh man. I am screwed. Edit: Yes everything is fine on all of my devices. Including Android emulators. I turned on the "use secure folder" during factory setup. But when I click on Secure Folder it tells me I need to sign in to my Samsung account in order to use it. So I am not even sure if Secure Folder is the issue. Cause it wont even let me into the app unless I sign up. Play Services is 12.6.8 no downgrade allowed. Play Store is 10.2.06 ???

You're not screwed. How did you get Oreo on your device? There isn't a US version so I'm assuming you used Odin. If so did you use the UK version. You're right, you won't be able to down grade to nugat but I'm on Oreo, in the US, and it's working fine.

Nope. I read news today that Samsung Tab S3 in the US are rolling out Oreo updates. I got excited and I was like oh what a coincidence because that day was the same day I decided to open up my brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 from the sealed retail packaging. So like I really didn't do much. No tweaks. No strange configuration or app installations. I literally went through Android settings and installed the updates through the official "search for update" method. Note that the update service found the Marshmallow update and forced me to install it before I would be able to find the Oreo update.
No Odin. No flashing. No rooting. No Adb. Nothing nada. EDIT: It's possible I bought a NON-US version of Tab S3, but I don't see how that is relevant because that version of Tab S3 should have Play Store bugs ironed out by now.

The US version of Oreo isn't available for Odin flash yet, otherwise I'd give it a try and see if it's an issue with the firmware. But I don't think even Samsung would have messed up play store. If it was just released it may be available later today.

I feel like if I flashed an Oreo ROM then the problem would disappear. Is there no one else from the US beside me who has updated through the official outlet?
On my Oreo Play Services is v12.6.85 and Play store is v10.2.06-all and I see my paid for apps without issues.

Man. Wtf why does this always happen to me with Google? Like in YouTube, my old playlists show up on my PC Chrome Browser. But they don't even exist in the YouTube app (only the new playlists appear). And on YouTube, there is exactly ONE youtuber that I can't toggle notification for, and that is Marquez Brownlee. But if I made another YouTube account I can toggle on the notification (the ringing bell symbol) for this YouTuber just fine.
NOBODY has these issue except me. Why?
I HAVE INCLUDED SCREENSHOTS AND PICTURES. SOMEBODY HELP ME

Oh I meant that I can't downgrade Play Services, as in I can't install an older version of Play Services.
Another Picture shows the Play Store works fine on other devices. Also here is video of Marquez Brownlee notification problem if you don't believe me. Problem has existed for years already and still hasn't been fixed.
Edit: Second video is portrait because I'm taking it with the Tab S3 with a heavy armored Gumdrop case and can't hold it in landscape (small hand and body) while using the mouse. Don't have tripod either and I was trying to obscure private information.
It isn't that we don't believe you. We do. But there is something wrong with your Google account. If it was me I would factory reset the device and go through the re-install of the Google Account. Somehow Android is not getting updated with your Google Account info so either it is a connectivity issue with Google or something with the install process.

SOLVED.
You have to turn off that option during initial "factory" setup. I couldn't turn it off because I didn't have or don't remember my Samsung Account. You need the Samsung Account in order to go past the login screen for "Secure Folder". As far as I know, there is no way to turn off secure folder after it is turned on without a Samsung Account. Deactivating/disabling the Secure Folder app also did not work. I fixed it by factory resetting the device and making sure that the initial toggle for Secure Folder is set to "OFF" (I think the reset is a necessary prerequisite). It looks like the issue is poor software design. Being required to have an account to turn if off, while being able to turn it on without the account is just a terrible choice in design. User aspexil, you have been thanked.

Glad you got it solved. That might be something new with Oreo. I didn't have that problem when I first got my tab. Ever since it's been rooted and I've never had a Samsung account. Or maybe I turned it off when initially setting up the tab.

UNSOLVED.
Actually it's unsolved again. I typed down Nova Launcher in the search box to check if I have it "paid". And it showed up as paid. But now I realized that I was looking for Nova Launcher Prime. Damn it. I guess I need to flash my Tab S3 to a reliable ROM then?

When you factory reset did it reset to Android v7.1? Maybe just stop there and see if you can get the tablet to work before applying Android v8.0? I haven't used anything but stock so don't know what ROM to use.

Nope. When I factory reset. It reset to Android Oreo 8.0.0. Play Services installed was 12.6.85 (instead of 12.6.88, I think I actually installed 12.6.88 manually via sideloading). The play store version is the same 10.2.06.
So I am wondering which ROM provided online is legitimately unchanged and STOCK so I can just flash via Odin. Then install the Oreo update via WiFi (I am assuming I received a corrupted update that won't happen again).
Also, one guy told me from another thread that he had the same issue and said he just waited a few days and let Play Services "sync" and it just fixed itself automatically. Although, I don't know if he really does have the same problem.

I'm pretty sure you will not be able to install nougut firmware after installing Oreo. The bootloader for Oreo is new and Samsung usually trips an e-fuse when updating the bootloader. But you can give it a try and then letting the device update. I get firmware from updato. But be advised that Oreo for the us isn't available yet (nougut is there). The UK version works fine, though. That's what I'm on.
PS, you'll have to enable developer options and then oem unlock to use Odin.
