Uninstalling Google Play Books leads to problem - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I selected uninstall for Google Play Books and it reverted to just Google Books instead of actually uninstalling.
So I considered disabling this built-in app, but I read the warning that it might affect the operation of other apps, such as google play.
So I fired up google play and saw that the option was there to upgrade back to Google Play Books. But on attempting to do this, I get the following error every time:
Error
Your order is procesing. Your item will be available in a few minutes.
Starting download...
But the download never actually starts.
Can anyone help me re-install it? Or is it perfectly compatible to disable Google Books. Kindle is my preferred book app after all.

Do you have CWM installed? try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

I'm entirely stock, and don't have CWM installed.
I tried wiping the cache for both Play marketplace and google (play) books, and rebooted, but even after that the update still doesn't work for Google Play Books.
If a solution doesn't come up, then I can just disable Books. But it will leave a lasting niggle in my head which can only be resolved by a factory reset!

The new Android 4.0.4 OTA update resolved this problem for me

Apps won't download from Play Store

I can no longer download apps from the google play store. I press download, it says "Downloading...", the loading bar has small lines going across it, but progress never starts, and it sits there like this. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am running Tiny CM10.1.
My problems with the play store were solved when I wiped and reinstalled from scratch. This a sudden thing, or have you made any changes lately?
Others have also reported success by going in to Apps Management and choosing "Clear Data" for the Google Play Store. (There's also a Google Play Services in the list...not sure if it's necessary to clear that, too.)
I have had this problem somewhat recurringly on this rom, it didn't work for a while, then I cleared play store, download manager, basically anything with Google in the name. Other times this fixed it, but this time it wouldn't work even after a restart. I ended up getting it to work by rebooting to recovery, wiping cache, and restarting.

I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.
I never had this problem until recently and it's happened several times now. It seems to happen after a major change to my system ie rom update or multiple app updates or Tibu restore I not really sure. I tried several methods of un-installing & re-installing the play store app and wiping it's cache and data with varying degrees of success.
What has worked every time without fail is a complete cache wipe with "CacheMate for root users" app.

[Q] Google+, Play Services, or Play Store Random Reboots!

I'm having problem with my T989 using maybe with the latest Google Plus update from November 1.
I have tested many roms, and in everyone it keeps doing the same. I have use AoCP, Hellybean, PsiRom, PRO-Bam, IOKP.
I flash the roms using TWRP 2.6.1.0, I rm the preload, and I format everything else, the only thing I don't format is the micro sd. Next I reboot the twrp and I install su binary. Next I wipe again the already mentioned partitions, and I install the rom and gapps(if they are requiered).
Google plus is not updated to the latest version in the latest gapps package, neither google play services, neither play store. It happens when that three apps are updated.
I enter my google account, update google plus and I sign in, by some time both play services and play store are updated. Next to that I use the phone normal, move from here to here, reboot it, search apps, etc, and in a random time the phone reboot, it keeps rebooting, and before 30 seconds of the next complete boot, it keeps doing the same time over and over again. I wipe the cache and dalvik to see if something is wrong, and it still doing the same thing.
I don't know exactly if the problem is with Google Plus, Google play services, or with the latest Play Store version 4.4.21. But it gets annoying, I have use before google plus with 4.3, and now happen this. Is like google is making something in that latest version to make they don't work in our phones, or is a bug. I don't have any more phone, I can't test if it is my device, or that official latest versions.
Searching for this problem I test other things. I always use supersu(free and paid) as root manager, so I download it, install it, next I download system app remover and sd maid(free and paid). I remove google plus and other apps that I don’t use. I reboot. Next I configure sd maid in the corpsfinder options and I remove the things that remains of google plus and use the other cleaners and I reboot again. By this time the play store and play services was updated.
I proceed downloading google plus, it install, I enter my account, and before 3 minutes, it happen the same problem all over again.
Finally I found a way to use our phones without this happening. I do all the things that I already mention, I clean my phone with sd maid, reboot, but this time I have don't install google plus, now my phone works perfect in AoCP.
Any user that happen something like this?, there is a way to fix it?, my phone is almost dying? or we just need wait for an update of google?
Thanks! (btw sorry for my bad english).

[Q] "process com.google.process.apps has stopped"

In the title of this post I quoted the error message my 2013 N7 gives when I boot it up. It is acting seriously messed up and I' ve been trying for days to fix it. It won't download updates or anything, and the Play Store won' t open. I found some threads here by people with similar problems, and I would like to try the suggested solutions but for some reason my tablet's menus don't offer the actions I need to do, like enable downloads or reset app preferences. I've looked everywhere and tried everything.
At androidcentral they had me wipe the cache partition, and I was pretty sure that wouldn't help but I did it anyway. I've lost many hours to this, posting in various forums and trying everything I can think to do, and every avenue is closed to me. Please advise.
Have you tried a factory reset?

If you mean "com.google.process.gapps" then you need to reinstall/update Google Play Services from the play store.

The play store won't open. I can try to uninstall/reinstall Play Services if there's some other way.
On my device, when I go to settings -- apps -- Google Play Services, there are buttons for force stop, uninstall updates, disable, clear data, and c!ear cache. I don't see one for uninstall.
Trying just to update the app won't work, attempts to update anything always abort.
If you'll please suggest a course of action, I'll try it and get back to you. Thanks for your help.

Google app crash

Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I decided to update Google Play Services on my G4 (android 6, stock rom) and since then, all Google apps (gmail, google keep, google play store,...) keep crashing.
I downloaded Google Play Services 8.7.03 on apkmirror and I chose the variant 440 (arm64 + arm, android 6.0+ and nodpi)
I can't deactivate or uninstall Google Play Services and I wish there is another option than restoring the entire phone...
Try a few different versions of Play Services?
Hi, thanks for your answer.
I've called a friend who also has a G4 (android 6) and asked him what is his version of Google Play Services. He has the 8.7.03 (variant: 440), the exact version I manually installed.
I saw on forums that I could try to delete my google accounts (which I did, but Google apps are still crashing and now I have a notification telling me I have to link the phone to a gmail account, but I can because Google Play Services crashes all the time).
I also tried to reboot, clear the app's data, uninstall all updates and reinstall the right version,... but still crashing.
I'll try one last time everything I've already tried and if it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to reset to factory settings...
Can you just reflash the system partition and not touch user data? I think that might work.

Reflash? Do I need root for that? My phone is not rooted (but I was just wondering if there is a way to root the G4 under android 6 without touvhing the bootloader)
Update: I reset to factory settings, now I have to get everything back on the phone.
One advice: never manually install Google Play Services, I've read loads of people commenting that they had the same kind of trouble.
Even if you install the right version (the version I manually installed was the exact same than my friends')

Problem with Google Play store app - insta-quiting all the time.

I have a problem with Google Play store app - every time I click on icon it starts and quit instantly with message "Google Play has been closed" (no other info what was wrong). It's newest version available.
I've tried many things:
- reinstalling the app (turning off to uninstall any updates) and reapplying update.
- clearing cache of app
- clearing cache for Google Play services for Instant Apps and Google Play Services
- clearing Data of store app.
Only two (first and last) gave temporary results for the first start - after that I can use app normally, but just after quitting problem is always back until I don't clean Data in Settings/Apps/Memory. I don't want to do factory reset, but it's kinda annoying. Something is loading/changing in app data after the initial start, that results in problem with starting again. Thanks for help in advance...
Uninstall Play store updates, clear data of Google play services for instant apps and perform a wipe cache after that.
Open the app and try if it works.

Can you precise "and perform a wipe cache" - did you mean wiping cache in the 'Google Play' store app or 'Google play Services for instant apps' app or device cache in recovery mode?

First uninstall playstore updates then clear cache of the app "Playservices instant apps" and then perform wipe cache via recovery.
Didnt helped - first start, with "old" version is ok, after closing the app and reopening its quit again ?
Could be problem with Google play app. Couple of days ago, I've noticed that sometimes is not showing updates for installed apps. Force stopping usually helps.

Not for me - force stopping didn't changed anything - still quitting all the time.

Baronik, please check if you are using latest google play service, 8.1.29 at least. I had the same issue last week. I made even factory reset without lack. Then I found this suggestion on Lenovo forum for Moto Z and verified that I used outdated version 8.0.X. When I tried update it I received notification I use latest version. I was singed to google play service beta program so I unsubscribe it, and done factory reset one more time. After restart 8.1.31 version has been installed. You can try to uninstall updates for google play store first.

I'm not sure about app you're talking about - I got 3 apps "connected" with store:
- Google Play store - version 8.0.73
- Google Play Services - version 11.3.02
- Google Play services for Instant Apps - version 1.19
I've been uninstalling store few times with a hope, that phone will update to newest version. Looks like 8.0.73 is newest my phone can install automatically. Any trustful source for 8.1.29 version to manually install? I really don't want to do factory reset...
Problem SOLVED - I've just installed 8.1.29 version of Google Play store app from APK-mirror and everything is ok for now. I can start app, close it and start again with no problems. Thanks for suggestion about version - I was more than sure, that phone will always install newest store app, but that wasn't true.
