Some apps outdated - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I have a T999 running stock rooted uvmd5 and some apps, specifically skype and google search won't update to newest version. If I uninstall and then search for skype on the google store, it tells me the version is 4.0.0.22082. I have access to another S3 running stock uvmd5 but not rooted and the skype version that's available is 4.3. So far it's only these two apps that seems to be outdated. Every other app updates just fine. I didn't change anything in build.prop to make my device look like another. Anyone have a idea why it's behaving like this? Whats the version of skype do you guys see?

Google does rollouts for their updates. I just got the Gmail one today that was available to others last week, and I don't have the Google Now update that was released at approximately the same time as the Gmail update. You can get them from android police (the Google updates).

Doesn't that just apply for google apps? If a third party updates their app, shouldn't everyone be able to see i? The play store on my rooted S3 tells me the Skype version number is 4.0.0.22082 and was updated on Sept 24. Another S3 tells me it's version 4.3 and was also updated on Sept 24.

Maybe, maybe not. Though it's a third party app, Google still serves you the updates.

Have you done a "Wipe Data" on the Play Store App and then rebooted and tried to update again?

Yes. Only thing that worked was to change the account under Play. Even then I got some "app already available" error but it eventually updated.

What a strange problem. First time it happened to me today. Play Store notified me of updates but I couldn't update the apps due to errors 941 & 921. Trying to view one of the apps returned an error too (forgot the code). I was going to uninstall Play Store as Mawdo suggested, but then I thought of trying to restore a nandroid backup which I had taken yesterday when everything was working fine. I restored the backup, and Play Store updated and downloaded apps with no errors.
Obviously this is a bit convoluted and time consuming than just uninstalling the Play Store update, but I wanted to share that this works too. Something during the course of the day could have borked Play Store on my phone.
Happen to me to last night. It seem google was working on the store because it works fine now.

The Google Play Store is experiencing some issues, they will be resolved shortly. Sit tight.

How do you update back to Play once you update the apps you need? I guess it doesn't matter THAT much, since it's essentially just a name change, but I'm wondering.

problem with widgets
when i try to put snote widget in the screen, its says dont have space in screen lol??????
cleared google play and everything works fine
try this but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too.

[Q] Installing Google Play on Asian/Chinese One M8?

Hi, I just got myself an HTC One M8 today. Bought it here in Beijing, China, at a China Unicom store. Turns out they call it M8w, but it should, as far as I know, be very similar to the official Asian version (it has a 2.5 GHz CPU and both FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE). Google Play Store was not installed, so I'm trying to get it installed.
I tried installing Google Play Store using the "Google installer" app by Eric Xiang, mostly used for Xiaomi phones, but basically it's an app to download APK files manually and install them.
So far I've gotten Gmail and Google Translate to work without problems after installing it from the Google installer, but Google Play Store fails to start with a message saying "No connection" and a "Retry" button. This is probably because Google Services Framework (a dependency of Play Store) crashes after installation.
Any suggestions on what I should do? Do I need to root and put in a non-Chinese ROM?
Thanks in advance!
For the M8t, there is a easier way for Google Play service (gmail, map... etc),
Just search "GMS安装器" from HTC App store or Baidu App store. Then you are good to go.
For anybody that's interested, I didn't manage to get all Google apps running properly, so several months ago I flashed in this system dump instead. (I unlocked the bootloader and flashed it in using a utility I don't remember the name of, but I will look it up and update this post if I remember it.)
Haven't noticed any issues so far except for that I don't seem to be able to update anything OTA. But I guess that might be normal?

Google Play services issue

Hello,
I have a verizon note 4 phone. Last night, my buddy tried to update my phone to Android Pay. He installed a new version of Google Play services and now Google play services crashed every 30 seconds. Can someone point me to the proper version of google play services. I am not rooted and I tried to install older versions, but it says that the install fails. It says I currently have version 8.1.13 (2234497-248)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Scott
You need 238, not 248.

Did that work for you. Did the -238 version fix your issue.
Is -238 better or -230? -230 gives me an error upon opening Gmail app. Says something about not beibg supported. Other than that works fine and even syncs Gmail normally.

This is the newest one. An 8 on the end means that it is for phones with a 480dpi or higher display. A 0 on the end means that is is for a universal (any DPI) display.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-8-2-99-2339544-238-2-android-apk-download/
Thanx. I know what the letters mean already. I was asking if i should opt for 480DPI version instead of universal DPI (-xy8 instead of -xy0) or if it was more optimized

Android Pay setup FC

Has anyone experienced a Force Close from Google Play Services when trying to add a card to Android Pay?
I have downloaded / installed Google Play services 8.1.15 (2250156-248) on my HTC One M9, as well as the latest APK for Android Pay. Its running on a stock rom. The devices was rooted, but I've unrooted it using the clean uninstall method provided by SuperSU. I assume that should do it.
All seems to go well until I press the + (to add a card). It thinks for a little while, and then force closes with an error indicating that Google Play Services was the problem.
Anyone?
I'm rooted and running the New Google Wallet App. I just was able to add a new card without unrooting.
The New Google Wallet app, or the Android Pay app? They are two different things.

It's the new Google Wallet App. I have noticed though that I cannot change my lockscreen now.
Bump...so we've got one other, anyone else ?
Google Play Services crashes whenever I try to add a new card as well. Running CM12.1, rooted, 2.10 firmware.
I finally got the Wallet App update that transformed it into Android Pay. I wasn't able to add a new card until I temp unrooted. After that I could add cards. I rerooted, but haven't tried it out yet (Wallet worked fine before.)
I'm unrooted. Still crashing. Perhaps because it's a Canadian phone?

[Help] Updated to 9.5.2.0 - Google keeps on crashing

So I got my Mix 2 for a while now, it's not rooted.
An update notification popped up 2 days ago and I decided to update today.
Since the update, I get pop ups "Google has crashed", "Google keeps crashing", "Google Play Services crashed" etc.
As I said, my phone isn't rooted.
Is there anything I can do without going through restore and stuff like that?
Thanks !

By the sounds of it, you have a chinese version, that must have had an unlocked bootloader and you must have been running Oreo beta to be able to get that update.
If you have the MIUI forum app, check it out, because people with the chinese 9.5.2.0 are having google problems.
I think the only way of fixing this is to flash the Global rom, or wait until they fix the chinese rom. Check out the MIUI forum app though, you might find help on there.
Good luck pal

Google Assistant force closes constantly. Still getting the "Google Services has stopped" message infrequently but everything else seems to work. I hope they fix it soon because the Oreo update has no extra Chinese bloatware any longer.

How did you install google play on MUI 9.5?
In additional setting it doesn't have an 'allow unknown sources' option it just takes me to the individual app permissions
---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------
I have the mix 2s If that makes a difference, any help would be much appreciated!
I've downloaded the google installer but it gets to 6% and gives me the same ' cannot install system applications from unofficial channels' error message after the installation is on 6%

You allow unknown sources on an individual app basis now.
Anyway follow these instructions for Google apps installation (same as the link in the previous post which you obviously didn't bother reading):

If you're using the China rom on Oreo it applies to you.
As you're installing each Google app it should ask you if you want to allow unknown sources.

Thanks again and sorry for my noobish-ness.
One final question, i see you have the mix 2, I'm guessing this will still work even tho i have the Mix 2s?
EDIT: so i tried to follow the instructions in that link but i got the parse error. it did however let me install google play and the framework. I am now therefore using the play store and it all seems to be working correctly. Will i encounter any further issues do you know?

The Mix 2s is virtually identical to the Mix 2 so it will work. This is a software issue with the MIUI China Oreo rom and applies to all Xiaomi phones since they all run the same basic software.
Read through that thread from the beginning and you'll find where someone solved his parse error. One solution is to uninstall all the Google apps and download the latest versions from Apkmirror or the Xiaomi forum.
