Recently I am finding VERY LONG PAUSES to install, uninstall, or update anything through the play store.
Anyone else?

I don't use google play movies or music so I used Titanium Backup to freeze both. However, Play Movies seems to be unfreezing itself whenever an update is published on Play. Has anyone else had this problem or found a workaround? I could just uninstall the app but I don't want to risk it messing anything up.
So I just bought and installed a Rydeen DV638A in my car. It's an in-dash receiver running pure Android, specifically Froyo.
Been using it for a few days and I absolutely love it. Would recommend it to anyone. It's got a Cortex A7 processor, is very quick and responsive, and it boots up in just a few seconds. It also comes pre-loaded with the Google Play store and has access to most Froyo compatible apps.
I've got virtually all my Google Apps installed. Drive, Movies & TV, Keep, etc. all of these work flawlessly. What is annoying me is this. I have Google Play Music installed, but when I click on it, it launches the stock music app. No matter what I try I can't get it to launch Google Play Music instead of the stock Froyo music player.
Since I have all my music on Google Play, I'd like to fix this, but I really don't want to attempt to root the unit... anyone know what I could do to solve it?
Okay, so I played with it more and here's what's happening now. I noticed that I had 10 authorized devices on my Google Play Music account, so I removed some, and that helped. Now, if I press Google Music, it actually opens Google Music - 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time it still opens the stock Froyo app, but if I exit that app and try again, it works. Weird.
Thinking about setting something up with Tasker. Maybe make it so that any time the stock music player launches, it auto launches Google Music. Any ideas?
I want to use an older android device for use with my chrome cast only. I have a lot of purchased movies and music through the play store that I would like my while family to have access to. But I don't want them to access my gmail or be able to install apps.
How can I accomplish this...?
Thanks in advance.
Grab an old android with minimal of 512mb of ram and at least OK developer support and root it, then remove anything Google-like other than what you need.
Also I would recommend one with an SD card to support all those movies.
Maybe the nexus one?
I have a gs3. The goal is to keep play movies and music but disable the ability to install apps and block access to any other Google services.
I'm pretty sure play movies and music need the play store which is an issue.
I just ran a test, used titanium backup to freeze play store than tried to listen to my music (cloud) from play music, worked great. Then I tried play movies and I kept getting connection error. I defrosted play store then went back to movies and it worked, then froze play store again it kept working.
So it looks like you need play store running when you first connect and play music and movies, but once you are connected you can remove play store for good.
So your s3 should work just fine
Thanks, guess a just have to try and see what happens. Was hoping someone ashtray had a tried solution.
Thanks again

I've no idea if there's a problems with the device or Google play games, but trying to play game that asks to download Google play games. Once I downloaded and trying to open Google play games (so I can choose the right account), but unfortunately the app asks for the same app in.. What the hell?
