Hi, I have an old HTC U11+ with Android 9 that works perfectly, at least until a few days ago.
For a few days now I've been experiencing problems with system applications, problems never encountered before... the settings application doesn't work, I see the window for an instant and then it disappears.
I tried to upgrade/downgrade apps such as "Android System webview" and "Chrome", without solving it.
I don't know what else to try... is there any way to reinstall all the system apps?

You need to expound as to why you are not able to uninstall Play Services updates.

Hi! I'm having the same problem with the HTC U11 android 9. It just happened. I took my phone to a phone tech and he told me that I needed to do a hard reboot. (back to factory settings) However, that would delete all the data and pictures, music..etc.... In other words, I'll lose EVERYTHING! I need to back up the phone and have tried several different programs on my laptop to achieve that, but they all require USB debugging to be enabled. Which I can't get to because I can't access the settings on my phone. I also need to save some photos from a locked folder in the phone, as it crashes when I try to enter the locked folder. It crashes just as the pattern entry window opens. .
A hard reboot is out of the question. I need to save everything on this phone, so any help would be seriously appreciated!

HI, which are these programs requiring USB debugging? I have it enabled, but with "Dr.Fone" or "Droidkit" I have not solved this issues... both say that function "repairing system" is available only for Samsung models

Got it!
Uninstalled Google updatesm and now Settings app is not crashing anymore.

Simply open Google Play Store, tap on your account at the right top, then manage app, then search for "Google" app and uninstall all updates received

Go on the play store and get short cut maker by Rishikesh kamewar. You can literally make your own short cut to anything in your phone. All settings. All options. All activities. Does not need root and is free. I had the same problem with several parts of my settings. Click on it and the damn thing ****s it's self. This is how I get around it. Use the shortcut and it doesn't trip whatever is making the crash.

Hello,
I am using HTC explorer (Android 2.3.5) for about a month now. For the past 2 days I am facing a strange problem. I am unable to download apps from Google Play via internet pass through. I am able to browse the internet but when I try to download any application, a grey bar appears saying "Waiting for network" and it never ends. I am able to download the same apps through Wifii. I tried all the possible solutions to make this work (hard reset, soft reset), but found no luck. I changed the default 2GB sd card with a 4GB sd card same days back. But even after that I was able to download via internet pass through. This is little strange. Can somebody help me in this respect.
Thanks in advance,

Try to clear cache and data of play store
I'm having the same issue. I've used internet pass through on my EVO 3D for quite a while, thinking about changing plans to less data. Pass through works fine for almost everything, but suddenly won't download Google Play updates. But if I clear data and cache, it then thinks there is no update. It is as though it updated, but doesn't recognize it as having completed. The one thing I haven't been able to update ever by PT is new maps for CoPilot Live. It absolutely insists on wi-fi.
Clear data from google services framework, fixes most problems with Google apps.

Thanks for your replies guys!!!
I cleared the data of google services framework, play store but still the problem exists. I am still unable to download from play store via internet pass through
SOLUTION
Hi there,
go to settings> applications>put a tick mark or select unknown sources . Ur problem wil be solved.
Thanks G_IVAR, for posting a reply. But the option is already checked. The only way is working is to settings--> applications--> Manage applications--> Google Play Store and click on Uninstall updates. The Play Store disappears on the phone and the Old market appears. Now when i try to download any application (with internet pass through), the download starts (making me happy) and disappears within 5-10 seconds. When I check my phone this time, again Google Play appears instead of Market. I think the Google guys have made something so that the market apps doesn't download with internet pass through (with a USB cable).

having same problem in my htc vivid. i think Google play is now only use carrier data. i even flash my whole device and factory rest may be for 15 times but the result is same "waiting for network"..........................pls let me know if you find out any solution.
Well then Google should update the Play Store app to fix it soon.
reply from google support (didnt solve the problem)
we should contact google support.i mailed them this was there reply but it didn't work
Thanks for contacting us about this issue- it sounds like you're having general connectivity issues. It's frustrating for us when users have problems with connectivity, because there is only so much we can do before you need to contact your service provider. However, I'd like you to try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve this quickly:
- Reboot your device
- Confirm that the app Google Authenticator is up to date - visit Google Play, then tap My Apps to see if you have an update available
- Sign in and out of Google Talk to restore connection to our servers:
1. Go to your device’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
2. If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
3. Launch Talk again to sign in (if you are unable to sign in, please let me know)
- Clear the cache of the Google Play Store app (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Play Store > Clear cache)
- If you're using WiFi, ensure firewalls are not blocking access to ports required for Google Play (TCP and UDP 5228)
- Confirm that there is strong connectivity on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please let me know, and I will continue to investigate the problem - any other detail you can provide about the issue and how/when it occurs will be extremely helpful. Have an excellent day.
Hi there,
I'm using a Sensation, and also having this problem. It's really most annoying.Any idea how widespread this problem is, or if it is something that Google has disabled deliberately?

Recently, the Google Play store stopped working for me. It kept saying "No Connection" and the Retry button didn't do anything.
I looked up a few solutions, and none of them worked. Finally, I gave up and reset my device to factory settings.
Now, when I try to set up my account, it sits for a minute and then says "Cant establish a reliable data connection to the server".
What should I do?

By the Android Version I think you probably dont have a custom rom. Now since you don't, the easiest way without spending hours on the internet researching is to call your phone provider's technical service and they'll help you. This is a direct and easier method rather then searching online.

Sorry about that. Well if you didn't root it, you should have your warranty and Samsung would definitely help you.
I wouldn't recommend taking any device back unless you have exerted all the possibilities of a fix. People's time is precise in my opinion.
What you can do is try factory resetting your device, it might of been a issue relating to updating the Google Play (Market) application.
Hope this helps.

To clear the data, you find the application (Market) in the applications section of Settings, and then press the button that says "clear data".
I did that, and nothing changed.

Well since you have a Google account, try this. Log into your Google account on the computer. Go to the play store. Go to my apps. And download it from there. I highly doubt this will work because you don't have a connection but its worth a quick shot. Also since you do have root, did you backup your apps via titanium or any other app? You could get all your apps and data back that way.

I tried downloading from my PC, but it didn't work because the account wasn't synced. I was able to get pretty much everything back by using the Aptoide store and downloading the .apk files manually. I don't need an account on the device to use it anymore, so everything's fine.
I came out with a solution for you, but you will need to take a couple of steps to get it completely working.
First thing you need to do, is download a Play Store APK file, and save it onto your device. (Click here to download)
Next step, since you're rooted is finding a Root File Explorer to remove the Play Store file you have installed on your device. ( Try This *Note, haven't tested myself*!! ) )
When it's removed, feel free to install the play store apk from the first step to your device.
Hope this helps, is so, feel free to like.

Actually thats a gingerbread problem i think, i got it fixed by switching my wifi password from wpa2 to wep on the router settings, maybe he can try that
I'll try to keep this brief.
My wife and I both have stock standard HTC Aria's running Android 2.2. A few days ago my wife complained that her battery was discharging really fast. Then a day later mine started doing the same thing.Going flat in a few hours of standby. Normally at the end of the day they would both still have 8 out or ten bars still lit. I turned off wifi, mobile and bluetooth on both phones and that seemed to fix the battery problem.
Now when I turn on wifi or 3g I cant connect at all. My wifi router shows up in settings but it constantly is scanning-connecting-disconnecting. Also cant connect to 3g.
I have tried another sim card but the problem is the same.
As I said, these phone aren't rooted in any way. Have very few apps. Basically used as a phone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Maybe you can try a new battery. Or, if you still have warranty, give it back to service.

Just did a factory reset and everything seems ok.
Just one other problem: When I log in to google play it is showing that I have 2 apps installed (airdroid and astro) These are no longer on my phone but google doesn't want to believe that. I've tried to trash them and tried installing them but nothing happens. It just says "These apps will be un/installed shortly"
Any thoughts?

You may have already tried this, but maybe a reboot would do the trick. If rebooting doesn't help, you can use a file manager to take a look into Data>Apps or System>Apps and see if you can find their .apk files there and delete them. If you aren't rooted, you won't be able to delete them, and I'm not sure what you should do if that happens. If they aren't there, then it's probably just a graphical glitch and is showing what really isn't there.
EDIT: Sorry, I read your post wrong. Go into the app details of Google Play Store and select both clear data and clear cache, and that should solve the problem. If not, try rebooting.

Oh my bad, I wasn't really clear about that. It's actually in your phone settings, not the settings in the Play Store.
So you open up Play Store in 'Manage Applications' as if you were trying to uninstall it. In that menu, you'll see options like Force Stop/Disable. Scroll down, and you'll see the 'Clear data' and 'Clear cache' options, and there ya go. I hope I explained it well.

Sorry, I'm getting a bit confused here.
The apps that I mentioned; Airdroid, Astro, google play etc are showing as being installed on the google play web site. These apps are no longer on my phone after I did the factory reset. Therefore I have no way to reinstall the apps as google play is telling me they are already installed.
Is there another way to do this? Can I dl the apk files from somewhere else and install them manually?

You don't have the Play Store installed on your phone? If that's the case, you need to search up on google to find the apk file for it. Once you do that, you should be able to install the other apps you've mentioned.

Update:
I managed to install airdroid and Astro through Android Market app (was that the precursor to play store?)
Now when I log in to google play it shows those two apps as installed. Everything else is showing in "other apps in my library" waiting to be installed. I think I'll leave it at that. My airdroid is working again :good:

The only way is to build a new aosp rom for your device. My advise is remember that you get what you pay for and clones never really have any of the hardware they claim they do. I think you will find you are better off ditching the device and buying a new one.

That doesnt actually help me at all.
The phone is fine, no issue with it. Has a new rom on it, specs were as described, its a problem with google, and the play store auto installing, it did this on my old S2 and my galaxy tab stock, so its not the hardware.
There must be a way to stop the play store doing this apart from uninstalling the play store as I am currently doing.

Then that will lead me to think it is one of the apps you have installed. Some shady apps like CCleaner will install other apps. I would wipe the device completely and then install your apps one by one until you find the issue.

Hey, is anyone else having problems getting into the assistant settings menu, i'm talking about this menu.
(open assistant > settings and then settings again)

Tried clearing cache and data of both Google and play apps, I also tried the beta channel download same thing, I tap settings it almost like the page pops ups and vanishes within a second, both settings and explore are doing this.

Nope, I can change my Assistant settings easily. But my menu is different.

No, that's just the menu we want to access but can't
So I guess I have to revoke the microphone authorization for the Google app to get rid of Google assistant for now.

This one.
I access the settings by pressing Home Button and then by clicking on the blue icon on the top right side
@B1naryBlaz3 I fixed it with my P20 by disabling and uninstalling Google Play Services via "System Settings -Apps -> Google Play Services -> Deactivate" and then afterwards installing the Google Play Services update again when prompted. This actually fixed a lot of issues I had

Works until I restart the phone again, I also factory reset 4 times yesterday to try and isolate the issue, its definitely something thats part of the default install, everything is fine until it updates the stock stuff and then you restart.

Well it's the same as mine. The problem may be the Google Play Services as @2001db8 pointed out. You have all the permissions granted to Assistant?

Its got all the permissions , if I clear the cache on the Google play services, it will start working, the google auth app wont though and one I restart it breaks the assistant again.

I'm on an LX1. An offtopic question do you have a gyroscope sensor in your phone?

and today I learned, that no I don't , guess they needed to cut cost somewhere.
Does yours ?
I wonder if the OS versions have anything to do with the problems I am having.

Did you get the handset from cell c ? Trying to figure out how the various operators decide which version they sell, got mine from Telkom if I knew the other version had more internals I would have opted for that, this is what I get for not doing my homework.

I have no issue whatsoever, I use the Google assistant on a daily basis ( Yeah I'm that lazy lol) and the Google authentication app is working just fine (I have setup my two way authentication code for my various emails accounts and other stuff) i'm pretty happy with this p20 lite and I wasn't expecting to have such a good experience in the first place.
