After full restore Play Store does not auto push apps - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I recently restored, locked, and went completely stock again to test out a few things and I have realized that the device no longer automatically sends my apps to the phone as it previously did. Is there a setting in the account im missing or anything I can do? Its a pain to have to go download all of them one by one

Yeah, i have this problem aswell.. Anybody knows what's up?

Mine did the same thing, good thing I had a full backup on titanium backup to speed the process up a little bit. I was just going between ROMs though.

You have to have "back up my account with Google services" checked when first setting up the rom....

Dude.. ya think that most people don't know that?
I have the same problem. Did a clean wipe and fresh flash today, and suddenly Google Play is not syncing my apps anymore. Does fine with the contacts and everything, just not Google Play. Note: this is on a Galaxy S2, not a Nexus, but I figured it would be good to know for everyone that this does not appear to be a Nexus issue, but a Play issue.

I've noticed it depends on what Rom you use. When I was on the more stock roms it always did it but now that I'm running aokp it doesn't.

same issue had backup on stock, didn't restore to AOKP

Im having the same issue now too.
wont push from the web
playstore in the phone works

My C2P stopped working too. I switched to Chrome2Mobile (I think is what it's called) extention on my desktop, it works again and that ext lets me send links to my iPad too.

i only ever remember this working with gingerbread on my ns4g. from ics on, the restore feature has only been good for wallpaper and wifi passwords

I found a potential fix
I want to preface this by saying I wasn't having the same problem as you all are having when I log back into my google account after flashing my apps start downloading. My issue is that after it started I ended up in area without service(subway) and then half of my apps failed. I didn't feel like clicking each and re downloading them. The only thing I could think of was signing out of my google account which supposedly wipes your info and then signing back in to restart the sync and it worked for me so try it out and let me know if it works for you all. If it does please Thank this is only like my 2nd post here.

Thanks for the idea, seems like it had some potential.
I tried signing out of my google account, then signing back in... and it still didn't help get the auto restore going.
Any other ideas?
..... I think I remember reading a solution to this somewhere...

[Q] Friend is freaking out...no idea what happened

So my friend has a Dinc and not so much knowledge of phones. i tell her about the awesomesauce of root and she tells me to take care of her phone. so i root it with revoked (not the forever one) and start tweaking. ok, tweaking done - LauncherPro, Swype, Handcent, SetCPU, autokiller, adfree, etc etc. all was fine for about 2-3 weeks until this morning she wakes up to swype/launcherpro/handcent force closing and all her contacts are gone...she said it reverted back to all old settings.
possible update from verizon?
i'm in CT and she's in NJ, so i can't exactly take a look at the phone. any ideas as to what could have happened? she WAS drunk as fck last night.
android market shows no apps in downloads. and unable to search for anything.......
First, it's kind of silly to customize a phone so heavily for a person who has no clue how to support it when you're too far away to support it.
Second, I hope you taught her how to nandroid because it sounds like she's going to need to restore. The only thing I can think of that would fix the issues would be to fix permissions and reboot the phone... I can't really think of any settings that would cause those issues.
crap. well agreed on the first part...second part i should have thought to make a backup when i finished...which i didn't. the few things i did didn't seem like much really.
i think something happened while drunk...which could be anything...but now i'm not sure what to have her do. she lost all her contacts so i guess it doesn't matter if i have to have her reflash some basic rom.

Did she lose the contacts from her Gmail account, or just from the phone? They will be restored if not lost from Gmail when she gets it back up and running.
there's really no such thing as "just a basic rom" nowadays. devs put a lot of effort and time and code into them, what you should do is some research and have her reinstall a STABLE rom . either way there should have been some sort of backup made, lol, otherwise id say you're a ****ty friend and has every right to be pissed at you lol. with that said have her try to get into recovery and restore a backup.
sent by Violent J's wicked 6300
Thanks for the couple of ideas, but like I said, there is no backup to fall back on. The two things I missed while tweaking her phone was the initial backup and showing her how to restore. I'm not new to this, but not perfect.
Past those obvious mistakes, pointed out many times, right now a few things have changed. Astro no longer works either, and she can't reinstall anything because the market is blank. She did get some contacts back somehow. Is there a way to replace the market to fix it?
Sent from my FroyoEris using Tapatalk
You could have her try installing alternative markets like applanet...if it doesn't crash on the install or launch of the app...then she should be able to get the ball rolling on a resolution... might I add, applanet is just an example of an alt market... google alternative markets, you should easily find five or six different ones... if that fails... try apktor.....
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Have your friend RUU the phone. If they use Google services the contacts will be restored.
She doesn't use enough google services to get everything back...told her to usaa them for contacts at least.
Will a factory reset do the trick? She's prepared for the consequences.
Sent from my FroyoEris using Tapatalk
Did you load up Titanium backup for her? How about Backup Assistant?
In any event, a hard reset may fix the issues - just trying to help you save some of her data / contacts.

That only happens if the contacts are Google Contacts, not Phone Contacts. IIRC, all new contacts are Phone contacts by default.
On a more serious note, this sound very familiar to something I ran into while flashing a new ROM on vacation (Note to self, dont disturb a perfectly stable phone while 800 miles away from home!). Everything I tried to run seemed to FC and I couldn't get into the market or an alternative to download fresh copies of apps. I ended up reflashing the ROM, I dont remember if I tried a factory reset or not but ultimately it sounds like a wipe and clean install of a stable ROM is your best friend right now (unlike your current status with her lol).

Busted? android market purchases Q.

i gotta go see sprint, i have ins. and rooted but i just odin back to complete stock. no longer rooted but if they simply went into my market, they would see how ive purchased apps like root explorer and titanium back up and setcpu. will i now be turned away because they saw i was obviously rooted? can i fix this, maybe delete my google account or something?
side question, how can i restore data (contacts and calendar) without root? i did TB and CWM backups before i odin but dont see any backup and restore options in three finger boot,
They're not putting you on trial, they aren't going to go out of their way to look for evidence of root. If you're on the stock rom, theme, boot animation and recovery they won't know anything.
Factory reset and don't associate your device with a Google account. Or create a new account and link it to your phone so that nothing syncs up (primarily the market apps).
Or use Titanium Backup Pro to "unlink" those apps from the market, then uninstall TB.
Though I suppose that having apps which require root does't mean that you are in fact rooted. The ignorance defence should be adequate here, but why risk it?
Tell them you use that same account for your tablet..
thanks guys! i didnt even think of that quick! thats a great idea. im going to create a second google account. it will be the one ill use and log in on my phone for those times i need to go in.
may require a lil work at first but will be worth it in the end. ill download a few games and what not for that account, tweak it a bit but when i dont plan to see sprint any time soon ill go back to running my main google account. with all the rooted apps logged. ill see if this works.
can contacts be saved to my computer via usb? i returned to my old set up atm, rooted and all so i can try to save my contacts somewhere else to bring back after i odin again. although this is all a b*tch, im learning a lot

Correct me if I am wrong they can't look at market apps because this not a sprint market it is a droid market nothing is linked!

update: i got to sprint today. they replaced my whole screen whoo hoo!! my boyfriend talked to them, im deaf or well, speech impaired (i can hear noise but cant distinguish speech so i lip read) anyways, im SO glad i created a second gmail account! they asked for my google password, i didnt find out till later that they needed this to sync my contacts just in case? why would u need a password if my google account is already set into my phone? either way, who knows if they looked at apps but no trace of my rooted ones. others may want to try this second google account thing, just in case. all worked out and re rooted and restored my yesterdays SRF rom and good to go

even though your problem is solved, I just wanna say that i have went to sprint for repairs with a Rooted phone on a few occasions, and they never said a word about it. however YMMV.
I have actually had sprint in store techs reboot my phone back to stock for me.....they *****ed a little bit cuz they were having issues w/there computer taking my phone....but that was it!

Google wallet - re-adding your card after reset

to avoid being locked out of the secure element i reset my info in the google wallet app before i wiped my phone
i redownloaded the app and went through the initial set up...this time it gives me an error when i am trying to link my citi card to it...the same card worked earlier so i know it works
is there a waiting period or something between resetting the info and re-adding the card? i reset the app like an hour ago...wiped and re-flashed...maybe i have to wait?
can anyone who has done this please chime in...thanks
Have you already updated the app?... Seems like theres a new update for it could be the reason.. And as far as i know your info should be there as your card its linked to your account and thats in the cloud not in the phone

when i logged in with my google account the info wasnt just there...i had to re-do the entire set up...
also to note...when i selected my gmail account it attempted to log in and it said the password was wrong...i had to manually type the password to get it to log in...i dont think that happened the first time i did it (when the credit card link was successful)...idk if that makes a difference

have you ever reset it and had to re-add your card?
No, i cant add cards since im outside usa but i got cards registered in the website wallet to be able to buy apps in the store.. So no matter if I wipe my phone the cards are always there, same as your contacts, pictures, everything should be restored.. Try a. Factory reset, backup your stuff and try again

yeah...i have my citi card linked to my gmail account because ive bought apps from the playstore...funny how there isnt a correlation....the app acts separately...when i log in to my gmail there is no card attached in the app but when i log on to google wallet from my browser my citi card is there
i called citi and they put a ticket in and told me to wait 24 hours and try to add the card again...they said that they saw that the first time i ever linked it it was successful and they arent sure why i can't add it again...after 24 hours, if it still doesnt work they want me to call back
I have a ticket open with Citi Bank for the same reasons. I will not let me add the card again. I have wiped the app before and never had a problem. The person I talked with at CitiBank said there was a problem on their end and would not be fixed till Sunday night. They took my info and would call me back. It apparently thinks the card is still active in the system and will not reauthorize it. They have to go in and delete it but it cant happen till Sunday..... I hope so anyways.

ahh ok...it makes sense that the issue is on their end...its not a secure element issue because i reset it before i flashed anything...not that im glad to that you also have the same problem, but im happy to see that my issue isnt isolated
also...you said that you've reset the app before right? in the past after you reset it, you were able to just simply re-add it again? my first link was successful and very quick...just wondering if its a simple process to reset and add
i guess ill have to just wait out the weekend and try it again
if you happen to get it to work please post it here...i will as well
Actually, they told me same thing last Friday (the system will be back until last Sunday)... and the issue was not revolved until now...

tried to add my citi card again this morning...still had an error
not sure if it has anything to do with it, but when I moved to a different ROM i used mybackup pro to restore the apk and data of google wallet. I had all kinds of problems and could not get it to work correctly. I assumed it was due to me restoring the data with the apk.
I uninstalled the app, re-installed just the APK and went through the setup again and have not had any issues....

Verizon - Can't add cards
Wallet just started working today for the first time in months. I upgraded to 4.0.4 manually on May 25th, but for some reason on reboot today, Wallet initialized. I cannot add a prepaid or a Citibank MC - phone gives me an error. Any thoughts?
i totally forgot to wipe the wallet data before rooting/unlocking/flashing/etc and when i loaded a new rom, wallet still worked perfect! it seems sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to wallets behavior.
This is still not working for me. It's been about a month now. I called Citibank twice, first time they told me to call back after the weekend. I called about two weeks later as I didn't have time earlier. That time they claimed the problem is new and they've only known about it for a week, and they're working on it!?! After some clarification they claimed that adding a citibank card was a new problem, not re-adding after a factory reset.
I had a yakjuxw 4.0.2 Gnex, everything worked including google wallet, but changed the rom to takju 4.0.4 when I got pogo pin docks. I am not rooted and have not been rooted. Google wallet asks for Citibank to be added, and it seems to be going through the same process as originally, but at the end it gets stuck, then tells me "unable to add the Citi Card card, please contact your issuing bank or try again Citibank, N.A. contact number 1-800-842-6596".
Well after the calls to Citibank, this is obviously not getting me anywhere, so I'm not sure what to do. I have the backup of my yakjuxw 4.0.2 rom, would putting that back on the phone help? Or is this a google issue and should I be opening a google ticket?
Sorry, I'm totally lost. I didn't even know about the secure element possibly getting blown by a factory reset until after I couldn't add the card back in, and it turned up in some searches. Could that be the problem? Any way to fix that?
Thanks to anyone that can offer any advice.

Since nobody gave you a fix for this here's mine.
I just experienced the same thing after doing a RESET GOOGLE WALLET from the SETTINGS option inside Google Wallet.
I called Citi and they told me that they have to put in a request to have my card unlinked from my (i'm guessing) Google Wallet account.
She said that it will take 24hrs and i should be able to add it back after that.

Skype doesn't log in/gives error message

I have a Rooted Galaxy S-II. Aside from that it's basically stock. Just removed some of the bloatware.
Up until recently Skype was working just fine on my phone. As of (I think) the most recent update, whenever I start up Skype and try to log in, it gives me an error message to the likes of: "Skype has stopped working - Would you like to sign in again or exit Skype?" with the options to Exit or Sign In. If you pick "Sign In" it just sits there.
I've tried clearing data both through the phone and through Titanium Backup, and I've also tried deleting and reinstalling the app. Nothing is working.
I thought I read somewhere on the internet (not to say that that's a reliable or specific source to say the least) that with the newest update there's an inherent bug with Rooted phones and Skype not working. Don't know if that's accurate but it seems like it might be.
Anyone else seeing this? Have a fix? A workaround?
Thanks!
Happened to me too but I got signed in I just kept exiting and trying again it took about 5 times for me

Google App not opening

Hi,
Google App has suddenly stopped opening in the non-rooted 5t. Please check the attached video. What should I do?
Thanks
Bump..........
Same issue. Checked a lot of forums.. no fix yet, just temporary work arounds. Uninstall or clearing data. But only Works for a day.
I have the same thing......
And it's working again as of this morning!
I'm having this issue and it's driving me mad, the device has FamilyLink on it so I cannot turn off device administrator because all of the Google Account dialogs are broken, can't clear data, what a mess. I'm currently 80% sure I'll need to factory reset (if I even can!)
I was thinking I could maybe get into recovery but it wants a password that I apparently don't know. I tried my google password, my PIN, switching my PIN to a password, and nothing could get me in :s
(Edit 4/13: Got into recovery by removing the screen lock entirely, wiped the phone.)
Google App not opening & news feed not showing in Bing
Hi,
So, the Google app is not working in apparently all 5t phones-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/help/google-app-t4060959/post82241813#post82241813
Tested in my friend's phone also
Since the past few days news feed in Bing app has also vanished. But it works in every other phone besides op. Why is this issue happening only in oneplus phones? I have sent the devs logs 2 times but no action has been taken. Never ever a op phone again.
Thanks
