[Q] Problem with Samsung Apps store - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hey guys. Just bought myself a Galaxy SII, but when I try to open the Samsung Apps store, it keeps telling me I need to update. After accepting the update, Samsung Apps doesn't install the update and I'm stuck in this annoying loop.
I'm located in Hong Kong.
I believe it is the UNAServices update.
I am unable to find any info on how to fix this.
If anyone has a solution or can point me in the right direct, that'd be awesome.

Remember to allow non-market apps to be installed in settings->applications
For me 1st time, it didn't take very long to download, but that should be in the statusbar anyway..
Or else you can try to reboot your phone, but sometimes it goes away with waiting..

I have the exact same problem with my Galaxy Note (rooted and using Rocket Rom 2.3.6). Any solution?

[Q] Google Now Won't Update on Stock Jellybean [SOLVED]

Hi all, looking for a little help here.
My wife and I both have AT&T Galaxy S3 phones. We updated them both to Jellybean through Kies.
For some reason on my wife's phone, I can't update Google Now (google search). In the play store from her phone it says her device is not compatible. If I log into the play store from a computer, it shows her device is compatible but when I try to download it, it says oops and to try again later. I tried clearing cache and data on the phone but am still having the same issue.
I was able to update my phone to the new google now version with no issues.
Any suggestions?

I had issues with Google search FC'ing on me earlier. I used TiBu to uninstall it completely, then re-installed from Google Play. Fixed my issues. You can see if it will help you.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately these phones are stock (not rooted) so I don't have the option to uninstall. If it why my phone I would just root and try your suggestion.
Sadly, that is a no fly zone for my wife.
Hey I had this issue last night but I did Mr Robinsons method with the rooted official JB he provided and I was able to update the Google now as you described.
Anyone else have any suggestions? I can't root her phone so I need a non-root alternative.
This issue seems to have just resolved itself today. Checked my wife's phone when I got home from work and it let me update no problem. Thank you to those that offered suggestions.

If it happens again, try clearing data for Google search.

Same here. Have spent hours and hours trying to get this to work. I am stuck where it says "Host Manager has Stopped". Also super annoying since whenever you get to that point you basically have to restart your phone.
There's lots of threads on the topic, but some are about the Gear 1 or Gear 2, and then they are all about kit kat. We here have some of the latest and greatest with the M8 Lollipop GPE and the Gear S, terrible that we can't get them to work at all.

Just disable Bluetooth to stop the host manager has stopped loop, you won't have to restart your phone.
Still Looking for a fix as well.
Oh, nice. Solid find. Will keep at it later tonight. It definitely seems to me that we need the newest version of Samsung Gear in order for it to not FC on lollipop.

I've tried with the latest from Samsung but the Gear Manager needs to be modded to fix the FC of the Host manager but i don't know what mods need to be done, im going to message Brendo one of the devs and see if he can help.

My Test Scenarios:
HTC One M8 Harmon Kardon on Stock 5.0.1 Rooted Lollipop
How it Works:
1. Download Gear Manager Latest Version and GearManagerStub.apk
2. Download the APK Files
3. Move these files to your phone.
4. 1st install GearManagerstb.apk into SYSTEM/APP folder, then Gear Manager and all remaining apks install like normal.
5. Open Gear Manager on your phone and connect, it should start to download updated apks you can install all APK's Except HOSTMANAGER and GEARPLUGIN make sure you cancel those two APK's or else you will End up with Hostmanager force close and GearPlugin force close.... if you end up with GearPlugin Force close just install the 2.2.15011799 version. It should complete the installation after that.
What versions I'm currently using.
Gear Manager 1.0.02 - Make Sure this is installed in System/App
Samsung Gear 2.2.15011799

After Lollipop, Package Access Helper has stopped when moving some apps to SD card

I have the Note from Verizon so everything is stock. After updating to Lollipop I factory reset it and after that the Package Application Helper stops every time I try to move certain apps to the SD card. First I noticed it every time I try to move Skype, also quite a few apps from the amazon app store. I factory reset it again and installed no apps from Google backup, then I installed just Skype and the Helper app crashed on trying to move to the SD again. I can't find any posts about this crash except for on the Kindle. I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem?
This is now happening to me.
I factory reset, and this message appears while trying to install an application from the Amazon App Store.
I'm having the same issue with the Package Access Helper when trying to move some apps. Specifically two games from Humble Bundle 11, which I purchased yesterday. Helper crashes when when attempting to move 80 Days to SD. Riddick crashes on installation, so the "App not installed" prompt shows up 15 seconds after.
I'm also having the same issue both trying to move apps to the SD Card and simply trying to install apps from both Humble Bundle and the Amazon App store. It seems limited to specific apps on each store - some install fine, some get the error. I have not run into the issue where I have gotten the error and been able to install the app on another attempt. My Verizon Note 4 was factory reset after the upgrade as well.
I haven't encountered the error on any Play Store Apps at the moment (Badland couldn't be installed via Humble Bundle or Amazon App Store, but the F2P version on the Google Play Store installed without issue).
Has anyone tried on another lollipop device or a non-Verizon Note 4 running lollipop? I'm going to try installing one of the problem apps tonight on my wife's lollipop GS5 and see if the error occurs. I can't seem to determine if this is an incompatibility/format change with old APKs, or if Verizon simply pushed out a dud Package Access Helper build with the Note 4 update.
We tried installing one of the problem apps on my coworkers lollipop Nexus 5 using the Amazon App store - no problems there with the same trouble app. Looks like something with either Samsung's or Verizon's update package that is corrupted and causing this issue.
I had the same message when trying to restore apps via Helium.
How can this be fixed?
It is still happening today.
I haven't found a work around for it. Seems like Samsung may have pushed out a broken image for their update. I started a thread on the GalaxyNote4 subreddit and it appears that other people are having the same issue on the AT&T varient of the Note 4. It's probably going to remain in a broken state until Samsung and the carriers push out an additional update, or individual APKs are updated to work around the bug (unlikely).
I am unable to install any of these apps from the Amazon appstore: Angry Bird Transformers, Braveland, Knock-Knock but that is only 3 out of 50 and rest installed fine. There are quite a few Amazon apps that won't move to the SD card though. I haven't had any problems installing a Google Play app and only Skype refuses to move to the SD and crashes the helper app.
Same problem here, although I'm on AT&T. Now I didn't factory reset my phone after the lollipop OTA yet, so I have apps not from Google Play still able to move on to the SD card. The apps that are not from Google Play are from the Oculus store, what's odd is that I just downloaded two apps, however one was able to move to the SD card and the other spawns the error.
I am unable to install Pinball Collection HD, Badland, Back To Bed and a few others from the Amazon App Store on my Note 4 due to this error. Both Badland and Back To Bed install without issue from the play store though. I definitely get the error more often trying to move apps to the SD card - same issue with Skype. It's definitely app dependent - probably some of the apps calling whatever code is corrupted in the Package Access Handler component vs others that don't call the suspect functions.
My wife has the GS5 and it's updated to Lollipop (and has not been factory reset - simply upgraded). We tried installing the same apps on her phone using the Amazon App Store and it worked fine.
This looks like Samsung pushed out a shoddy ROM for 5.0.1 on the Note 4. I can't believe nobody caught this before all the carriers propagated it to the public.
I put in a tech support inquiry to both Amazon and Samsung about this issue. Not sure if it will get any traction, but the Amazon support request has been escalated. Maybe they'll put some pressure on Samsung to push out a fix in the near future.
Same thing is happening to me since the update. Then I got to thinking sometimes apps are moved automatically to the SD card. Also looked at other forums regarding older updates like kitkat, and someone noted they removed their SD card.
Let's give it a shot! Sure enough out of the 4 apps that wouldn't install from Amazon I'm on number three that is installing with no problem.
So try this as a work around.
Yeah. I can't install any non market app. Have the right security checked, too. No Humble Bundle, no Amazon. Either they hang and install forever or I get the Package Access Helper has stopped error. This happened after the lollipop update, so I did a factory reset and it didn't solve it.
This might be because of the Internal SD write problem with the last versions of Android. Go to the Play Store and get the "Foldermount" app and run it. If the problem is there it'll tell you and offer to fix it. After the fix reboot.
That seems to be for root only. I'm on a Verizon retail Note 4.

Well fiddle sticks. I guess that leaves that one out. Sorry.
Yeah, my Pinball Collection HD won't install either.
I did a factory reset upon updating to Lollipop on Verizon.
When will Samsung fix this?
I love that game!
Still no fix for this?
I got Amazon to credit my account $5 for my troubles.
possibly solved.
Hey guys,
I might have found a fix that did in fact work for me which I found on a reddit post I believe, I don't remember the site.
Verizon Note 4 5.0.1
To install an amazon app store app, first unmount your SD card, then try downloading and installing again. For me this worked and afterwards I just went back into settings and mounted my SD card again.

[Q] (First Post) My phone is broken please help :(

Ok so I have the gt-i9195 s4 mini. It was rooted but I needed to update it so I decided to un root it. With the root installed I couldn't update I just got a notification saying it was modified :/ So basically after I un rooted it I still couldn't update. After finding out I still couldn't update I factory reset it. Even after that I couldn't update. I didn't want to f*** it up any more so decided I wouldn't update it and just leave it. All was going well I set it up fine but then I go to download an app but I can't sign in to the play store because it can't establish a connection. I google a fix and followed multiple guides but none have worked. Is my phone fixable? If anyone knows how I can fix this and update it to the latest update please tell me Thanks

Go to settings/app and clear data from Galaxy app store, see if that fixes it.

I cleared cache , data and same error
also samsung is forcing kid installer on galaxy app if you use update all so everything is manual update
Same same
Any updates on this? As Galaxy Store also requires the update, all my Samsung apps that also require updates are busted.
I'm living in China with my US s9+. Wondering if others are in similar situation?
I've installed an OneUI port on my Galaxy J7 (2016) phone that had Galaxy apps but no Galaxy Store, so I went ahead and installed it via an apk mirror and I got the same errors. I attempted to make the Galaxy Store a system app but it didn't change a thing. I've also noticed the app understands it has been quote "...downloaded from package installer" so I'm guessing that's the reason the app isn't updating itself either. Should I maybe try to flash it somehow instead of installing by apk? Anyone has a fix for this weird error? Is it even possible in my situation?
Me again!
I managed to fix my problem by installing the apk of the latest Galaxy Store and making it a system app. The app proceded to update everything successfully, hope this helps anyone!
