Hi everybody - Searched all over, haven't seen any info on this issue. I apologize if I missed something
Recently, some apps I disabled on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus have begun to automatically reenable themselves after every reboot. The specific apps are Google Books, Google Earth, and Videos.
This did not used to happen. Further, my other disabled apps (the VZ apps, News and Weather, Movie Studio, etc.) stay disabled just like they are supposed to.
I'm not sure exactly when it started happening, so I can't pinpoint any changes or apps that might have caused the issue. If it matters, I'm not rooted.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated - the ability to disable unused apps was one of the reasons I got the phone. Thank you!
Update
Quick update. After I found my device would not complete a factory reset successfully, I contacted Verizon for a replacement. The replacement device factory resets successfully, unlike my first.
However, after setting up the new device I found that it too has the exact same problem with disabled apps. Google Books, Google Earth, and Videos (but no other disabled apps) all reenable themselves after every reboot. I noticed this before installing any apps or tweaking any settings. It seems there is a problem with these particular apps or in the way the are treated by ICS.
Either way, it's a shame that this major advertising point for the device does not function as advertised.
Interesting. I was wondering why I was seeing updates available for Earth and Video in the Market, seeing as how I had disabled them...
fyi I suspect it's a Verizon thing - I have both disabled and they're staying that way.
Thanks Clancy_s for the info. That's an interesting possibility.
It's also interesting to me that I haven't been able to find much chatter about this. I've posted the issue here, on the Google Mobile help forum, and on the Android Project Issues list (after searching each for previous mentions), and haven't heard much back.
I'm wondering how sporadic the issue might be, or if it might be connected to certain types of accounts since I've seen it on two phones now. I realize it's not a critical issue, but I've certainly seen a lot more concern on Android forums for less.
Just received my 3rd device (original plus 2 replacements, first 2 sent back due to other problems besides this one). The same problem with disabled apps reenabling themselves after a reboot persists. And this is after a factory reset, without adding any apps, changing any settings, without being backed up to my google account, without location services on. Same apps - Google Books, Google Earth, Videos. No other apps affected.
I'm having this problem as well. I disabled Google+, but it becomes enabled again after a reboot. VZ Backup Assistant and Google Talk stay disabled as they should.
Google earth did this for me also, so I just deleted the app. Of course you need root to do it.

Same problem with Maps
Title says it all. Really annoying.
Sigh... you're not alone. I disabled the Google search bar and after awhile the phone will automatically reenable anything that was disabled.

Hi,
I have a One X, 1.28, unlocked&rooted, logged into Google Play on both the device and play.google.com with the same account, saw my apps on play.google.com and on the device, but the One X is not listed on play.google.com/store/account . Anyone else having the same problem?
Cheers,

Remove your Google account from Accounts and Sync and try again.

Thanks, tried that, re-added my account, but no luck. My phone is still not visible from play.google.com, nor does Google Talk work (doesn't show any contacts).
Found the solution: Clear data/cache of Google Play and Google framework services and restart.
this is not working for me But I didnt find it in "list of Supported Devices"
Your phone or tablet isn’t a supported device. There is no way to manually add your phone or tablet to the device list on play.google.com, and you will not be able to use the Google Play website.

Got the same official response from HTC. Try deleting data of Google Play, Google Talk and Google Services framework, then restart the phone. Took ~1 day for the One X to show up on play.google.com though.
same for me. dont see one x on google.play
Works fine for me. Unbranded One X
Hi guys,
Ever since getting my HTC One X I've had this problem. I spent absolutely hours trying to sort this out and even posted a thread on here however it didn't seem to get any replies or anything, so I was left to solve the issue myself.
People that have this issue, typically experience the issue with the 'Play Store' too. If you try updating a stock installed application such as 'Street View' you get an error message about it not being currently available and being processed later. I spent hours messing about with this, and it turns out the issue is with the accounts!
Remove all your accounts, Google, Facebook ect, especially your HTC account. Clear all the data & cache from the Google Play Store, Framework Services ect. Set up your Google account first and open the Play Store, accept the terms and conditions ect. Go to 'My Apps' and it should have nothing listed. Set up your HTC account then go back to the 'My Apps' section of the 'Play Store' and you should have updates available. If you don't, re-do the steps stated above, however set up your HTC account before the Google account and remember, WIPE DATA!
Tell me if this works guys

This only happens if you have no internet connection (duh!) or have pending downloads on your account associated with another device. It shouldn't be the issue here, as the pending downloads time-out after a certain amount of time
How do you remove teams from Google Now? I go to the settings, see the teams I want to remove and remove them. I exit Google Now, go back into Google Now and the teams I removed are back again. I have tried removing any searches for the teams in my web history but that did not help. Any ideas?
Are you using the stock ROM? I deleted a team the other day and it has not come back, and I haven't cleared my search history yet either.
This is happening to me too. After only searching for these two teams once, it automatically added itself to my Teams in Google Now. I have never searched either team again. I went in and deleted them both from my Teams because I didn't want the notifications. When I go back to Google Now settings and check in less than a minute, both teams will still be removed. But about a day or two later (or possibly just when the next game is), I get the notification again and both teams are back on my Teams in Google Now. This has been going on for about a week now and I've removed them about 3 or 4 times.
I haven't tried clearing search history because I like having my search history other than having searched these two teams once.
I am using the stock rom. Android version 4.1.1 on the Galaxy Nexus.
Exact same problem as the two other posters That San Jose soccer team better be worth my notifications and Google Now space. I've even removed it from my web history but it still persists.
I had that same problem when searching for San Jose, but I removed it from the Sports list and it's gone. Well, if I'll get a card I'll know.
Removing the search history should remove everything from Google Now. You can do it via Google account just to be safe.
Oh god, whatever you do, don't add some random soccer teams in an attempt to trick it or wake it up or something like that. I now have something like eight teams, all impossible to remove. Ugh.

I am running CM10.
Ive had this issue as well.. For me it is barcelona and sacramento... i dont even like soccer lol... i think it wont delete because of having two Google Now devices and not deleting it off both... so I did them both at the same time and am going to see if it comes back
I think i figured this out. I have 3 JB devices syncing to my google account.
I did this on each device.
1. Go to the sports settings for google now
2. Remove the teams i wanted to remove.
3. Turn off google now
After turning off google now i work on the devices in reverse order
1. Turn on google now
2. Refresh the goggle now page
And that fixed it for me on my gs3 n7 and touchpad
Just follow biggggant's post. To reduce the impact on Google Now, in step 3 instead of turning off Google Now completely, you can just turn off the Sports updates in Google Now and turn it back on again.
TL;DR - Picked up my G4 at T-Mobile yesterday and I'm having issues fully syncing my music and playlists to my Google Play Music app. Tried every fix I could think of to no avail.
---
Only a portion of the music I've uploaded and added through All Access are showing up on the app. It's most obvious when looking through my playlists - many have significantly fewer tracks in them and some are completely blank. I've also found incomplete albums in my library.
The music hasn't been lost completely though. Everything looks fine in the web app and on my other devices (Nexus 9 and Moto G 2014).
I've tried refreshing my library, clearing cache/data, uninstalling updates, rebooting, reinstalling updates, and a factory reset. I've also unchecked and rechecked GPM sync under Accounts in Settings. No luck!
Anyone else run into this kind of issue on the G4 or any new devices they've purchased? Any suggestions for a fix? I'll troubleshoot some more today and try to exchange in-store for a new phone tomorrow if I can't find a fix.
Thanks.

EDIT
(7/15/15)
Just got an email from Google Support saying the issue has been resolved.
They had me clear my app data and cache, then reboot and refresh the library. I had to wait a couple minutes for everything to re-sync, but it actually worked for me.
I cross-referenced a dozen playlists on my phone with the playlists on the web app. All matching. Spot-checked a few artists and there doesn't seem to be any incomplete/missing albums.
LG G4 Google Music issue
Im having the same issue. I thought it just my phone and playplaylists but after reading your post I checked the music in my library and music I uploaded and music I added with all access is not there. All my other devices show my complete collection. I think it's a G4 issue.
Did switching phones help?

Exchanging for a new G4 did not help. :/
Have you had any luck getting your library and playlists to populate on your G4?
It doesn't seem to be only a G4 issue either. I have another thread going on at the Android Central forums and there are two other users with the same issue. One has a new G4, the other has a new GS6. We all have ongoing tickets being 'escalated' with Google Support.
I'm a newer user so I can't post outside links, but if you copy/paste some of the text in my OP you should be able to find the thread.

I have been having EXACTLY the same problem as the OP. It's been very frustrating.
Your WiFi solution has already made a bit of a difference. If it fixes it completely when I try it properly, I will track you down and kiss you passionately.

It's not your phone it's the Amateur Hour app that is Google Play Music.
While Chasing all things Social and bending over Backwards to be Facebook. Google Let this jewel of an app turn into a perfect example of why Not to Reinvent the wheel.
Ive Been having the exact same problems and many others ever since I subscribed, Dec. 2014. The app cant handle the additional strains on its limited resources and Android is already a memory sucking pig.
Ive had these issues on a Moto X 2013, Two Moto X 2014's, Two Drod Maxx's and a 2013 Nexus 7. So I know for a fact it;s not the device.
Getting any help from google is like trying to get milk from a Bull. They are so stuck in the "Everything at Google is Free and You are all our Beta Testers (Guinea Pigs) mindset. That they forget or Don't realize that people are actually paying for this service. Though, Not Many Apparently.
You can do factory resets, Data, Cache clears Uninstall and re-installs etc until the cows come home. None will Fix these issues. The problems are account related and google needs to manually reset each one.
For Music Not showing up here is a simple but painstaking fix
Log onto a PC and go to GPM Find Your music - (Google keeps trying to Hide this aspect of the Service) select an artist, Click the "All My Songs" Card = The first one, now Select / highlight every song and then click edit - Don't change anything, click save - That's it
Now go to your phone and you will see all the songs there, you might need to refresh though.
You think any of the Bike riding, Free Food eating Geniuses at google could or would tell you to do that - Don't hold your breath - All they will say is do a factory reset, deny there is or they have heard of a similar issue and finally, tell you it's been escalated. Which , like their Feedback service is another term for it's been sent to the Great Circualr Filing cabinet.
It's been 6 long months of Music constantly restarting after 20 seconds +/-, Voice commands to play a song or an album failing endlessly, Huge portions of my library gone missing on mobile devices. etc,, and Google refuses to help.
Google Play Music as it stands now is good for One thing - Shuffle Play of your library - Thats it. The Curated Lists fail More than they work, Using the shuffle widget Plays more music NOT in your library then music in it and none of it similar to what you have. The "Recommended for You" Crap is just a waste of resources.
I have 27K songs uploaded and another 26K "Added to my Library" from the Subscription and Nothing works!

Whoa that works. It's gonna be a pain but I've worked through most of "A". Thanks.
Still need to find a way to restore my playlists on my phone though. The same edit-save trick doesn't seem to do the trick.

Playlist will wok with the "Fix" but take multiple attempts. If they are Large (100+ songs) try doing it in groups of 25.
I had one playlist with 170+ songs and it took 5 attempts trying to highlight every song wouldnt work. The Edit info was greyed out.. A few songs needed to be removed and re-added - You couldn't edit their info
After I found the "Bad" Songs I was able to do a bulk edit on the list and it worked
PS I tried doing a bulk edit on all 54K songs in my library but it to failed miserably.
This may be because of googles insistence to use the arcane and antiquated Chrome / Flash for everything google. Me using an older PC with XP ( Which makes using GPM Painful) or because it has to be done artist by artist.
I reached out to google , Again yesterday by phone to tell them of the "Fix" and the Pri-madonna who I spoke to couldn't care less or be more contemptuous.
Just got an email from Google Support saying the issue has been resolved.

I noticed today that my Google Feed isn't updating. If I swipe left on my home screen I see my feed with cards but they are the same ones that been there for a long time. If I pull down to update I get a "Can't reach your feed at the moment" message and no cards show. If I lock the phone and unlock it I get the old out of date cards back but still nothing new.
I have also noticed that the weather isn't showing in the "At A Glance" widget on the home screen.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas on how to fix? I have restarted and cleared the cache of the Google app and neither have worked. The only other thing I can think of is going to Apps > Google > Storage > Manage Space > Clear All Data but clears search data, search history and feed settings which are used to populate the feed with relevant data. It would have to be set up again(sports teams, stocks, etc) and have rebuild search data which takes time. If that will fix the issue I'll do it but I'd hate to have it not fix the issue and have to start over for no reason.
Same issue here all day on my P2XL and on my wife's Pixel XL.
I found that If I disable the weather updates, my feed starts working again. So it looks like it has to do with the news and weather app. I tried to uninstall/reinstall it, didn't help.
I'm having the same issue. Interestingly though, if you uninstall the updates for the Google app, it works just fine.
Same issue with me too. Tried everything yet ain't working. Running 8.1 in pixel 2 xl
Seems like it's something related to weather updates from within google app, turns out if you disable it from "customize feed" your cards will be back to normal at the loss of weather info on the app and launcher. Glad I'm not alone tho

Yeah glad that I'm not alone too. Let's see what happens.
I was also having this issue but it started working fine 5-10 min ago.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
I ran into this exact issue with my regular pixel 2 about 1 hour ago. When i connected to my wifi i got a system notification saying my streaming service stopped for google (was confused what that meant) but after that my feed did not work. Weather was not showing up in the "at a glance" app as well. I tried to uninstall google app updates, deleted all data google app data, removed my google account and then re added it, and did multiple reboots while on mobile data and wifi. All efforts was not successful. I also was getting the error message "we cannot reach your feed right now" on the google app while the updates were uninstalled.
Having the same issue. Can't reach the feed since yesterday!
Same here, on Pixel 2XL for me and Pixel 2 for two of my friends. Weather doesn't show up in At A Glance widget, disabling it in the feed does nothing to the feed, and the phone doesn't react to "Hey Google", but only "Ok Google" despite retraining the voice model. There's a Reddit thread going on this https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe...able_right_now_cant_reach_your_feed/?sort=new and I also spoke to Google Support at length, they've escalated this to their engineering team, since they have lots of reports of this today. They are asking everyone to send feedback from the Google Now app/feed with the screenshot -- that way they can determine the scope of who's affected
Uninstalled the updates and restarted... Now it works fine.

Yes, I noticed the same thing. Uninstalled the latest version and went back to the factory version and it works. Although, I did notice all the cards were very old items ( 7+ hours old) but I'm not sure if that's just because there really is nothing recent.
Of everyone who is having this issue how many are in the western United States (New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona)?
Hi all,
I have started experiencing the similar issue from today. Def has something to do with Google App update as in "What's New" section it does refer to changes to feed notification etc.
Things I have tried since I first started noticing the issue:
1. Phone restart.
2. Shut down phone, wait and restart
3. Clear data of Google App along side disabled/enabled app. (Ended up losing Google assistant setup and had to redo it)
4. Uninstalled Google App updates and restarted.
Only thing that has worked is that I have selected weather from feed settings and feed is back.
I have also sent feedback to Google with screenshots.
Cheers.

Let's see how'll Google solve this.
Same here. Moto x play
Oops...they did it again...Google has mastered the art of breaking what's working very well! They keep updating apps that only break many other dependent apps...I'm on the Pixel XL and it's feed seem to work when I remove the weather feed from it...looks like google messed up the weather service...
Back in business...
Is it fixed yet or still onn with the bug
9:45 PST and it's still not fixed. I believe there is a wide spread problem with Google and also PlayStation Network.
PSN has been wonky since Friday and Google in my area has been wonky since Saturday.
