Downloading apps via chrome - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

Hi just got an Xiaomi Mi A3 and it's great but it won't let me use apps I download outside of Google app store. It downloads then the icon is faded. I'm taking shoebox and so on. Is there a way to fix this? Thank.

[Q]Unable to download apps from Google Play

Hi all, Some services of Google(Youtube, etc) are blocked in my country and I'm unable to download any apps from Google Play.
Tried everything which was suggested in forums. E.g Market Unlocker Pro, Hotspot Shield VPN, and many proxies. One of many proxies worked last night by using which i was able to open google play but couldn't download apps. and Now I can't even view apps on Google Play. Now I think there's nothing left for me to try except sharing my problem. If there's any possible solution left. Then please suggest. Any help will b appreciated. Thanks

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.

Overheating and LAG in redmi note 2

Hi. has given me a familiar one redmi note 2 which gets too hot on the upper back, and works very slow opening apps and in any action. I installed a global rom fastboot and it works just as slow. I've passed Antutu and it gives me 54,000 points, which makes me doubt if it's a software or hardware problem. What do you think about it?
I have the same problem from Yesterday with redmi note 2 prime
I flash so many roms and the slowliness happend only after gapps install o trying to run google apps.
Today i have the same problem. Its propably bug from google play because i cant open it.
It's google play services bug, find way to reset data of it and get it back to old version, install latest google play store from apk, add your google account back(should be all gone after resting services data) and after google services updates it should be fine. That's more or less how i did it.
Edit: For friend that's also using this old guy it fixed itself after letting phone stay and sync for about 20 minutes.

It happened by itself. Patience is needed and external cooler is an option to reduce the heat.
Thank you!

Thanks for answering. I have the last global rom. It does not let me uninstall play store. How can I uninstall it? And what version should I install and where do I download it from?
Same problem here. After factory reset there is no problem but after I update Google Play Services problems are back. Endless sync, not working Google Play store (stays blank and not showing any apps), Chrome not loading pages, huge battery drain on google play services. Nothing helps for me. Did you guys managed to get normal working phone?
This problem seems to affect only mobile phones with mediatek processor and not just xiaomi, also to other brands.
I have left the phone whole night syncing. Did not help at all...
Keeps forever in notifications: Current syncing item: Google Play services.

Go to Installed apps find Google Play Store and Uninstall updates, then let it sync. It should work that way.
Someone actually found a solution to this issue:
1. Go to Phone Settings
2. Next Accounts
3. Choose Google
4. Then click Manage your Google Account
5. There will be a white screen - here at this step we just wait until the screen comes to life (about 5-10 minutes)
6. Enjoy!

Thanks! This works!!
!....Solved.....!
WOW.....It totally worked for me. Thank you very much.
How?
I think I am just being dumb, but I cannot find this in the settings. I am on MIUI 9. Where did you find this?
Yes this works, big thanks!!! But on the new update of Google play services from yesterday I got the same bug. So we will need to do this every time when there is update for Google play services

Question Help with Google news feed

Hey everyone. I wasn't able to find a fix online so I figured I'd ask the experts on XDA.
Issue: 1- When I click on an article on my Google feed nothing happens.
2- When I use Google search and click one of the results nothing happens.
Chrome works, Samsung Internet works, and Edge works.
What I've tried: Deleting the storage on the Google app. No dice.
I don't have the same issue on my old S22 Ultra or my Tab S7 Plus.
Has anyone seen this before?
Any help would be appreciated.
Shot in the dark, but do you maybe not have a default internet browser selected? Or did it default to something else somehow that can't open a link? Can you open links from other apps? You could install duckduckgo and see if it'll open in that one maybe.
I would just uninstall Chrome and Google News and just start over.

No dice. But I love duckduckgo thanks for recommending it.
Google news do not use external browser sadly, it needs webview. Try to clear the cache and data from webview app or update it.

My Google News app works just fine. It's the feed all the way to the left of my launcher that's messed up. Is that what you mean?

I literally had this myself for a week, then yesterday it suddenly started to work. When it first began I tried all the recommended stuff like clearing caches and so on, but nothing helped. I wish I could help but I myself am baffled as to how it came to work again.

What if you try to access it from Chrome homescreen ? Under the search bar, there's a "Discover" section which practically is a Google Feed. Does it work ?
Have you tried updating Google App & Android Webview manually ?
Have you allow all permissions for Google app ?

It works in Chrome. All permissions allowed. Google app and Android Webview updated.

I stand corrected I lied I hadn't updated the Google App. Thought I had but I have the beta. I updated it and now it works as expected. Thanks a million. You really made my day.
