Play Store showing only apps?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if your Play Store app shows only apps for you, or do you also see books, music and magazines.
Mines shows only apps, tapping the Play logo doesn't do anything:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I go into browser on my pc, I see everything there:

Although here in Germany we only see apps and books usually I can approve that I could see both an hour ago and now the books pattern is gone.
Edit: back again

I had to reset to factory the phone, in order to get it working again.

I had the same problem
I had the exact same problem on my HTC One S, which by the way is an amazing phone, but I could solve this without factory reseting it. One of the things I did was deleating the cache of the google play store. If this doesnt work you can deleate all the data of the store without deleating other files on the phone, and I think that should solve the problem.

I haven't experienced that problem on any ROM I've tried. Are you in the US? Or are you using a VPN server or proxy server in another country?

It's not a bug, it's a feature. I wish it would show only apps to me. It is very annoying to see books and songs in search results for "angry birds" or whatever.

Battery Problem with Maps

Hey guys,
Hoping someone might be able to provide some insight for me on this. Please see the attached image. I have not opened the Maps application once. I noticed it was being a power hog about an hour ago and even force stopped it, but it persisted. Anyone had a similar experience/have an idea for a fix?

Disable maps caching and offline map
Sent From Samsung's Galaxy Note II Using Internet

Thanks for the quick response. Can you tell me how to execute those tasks?

Go into maps app and settings
Also disabling location services could help

These cant be disabled... I only see the choice of caching when on wifi or wifi/3g and it says that its only active when charging, so wont be that surely?
Location services could well have an effect but you will lose the functionality of Google Services, google now etc.
I have all the location based stuff active and dont have the issue.
Could it be another app that is using Google Maps to obtain data and keeping it awake?

Yeah, as you said I can't disable them. I can't imagine what it is. Location services wouldn't have that much of an effect. Not sure what to do here. Thinking of trying a fresh install of a diff rom. Currently running CleanRom

By default, Google play store will update your apps automatically. You have to change this if you don't want it from happening again in the future every time there's an update available for an app. To do this simply go to play store, settings and change to "do not auto update apps". Keep in mind that apps like Google play store, play services will update automatically without notice. You're phone will be updating lots of apps since you just purchased it. It's recommended to connect via WiFi and take care of this once in for all.

So you're saying they start but never actually update? Try restarting your phone, also make sure mobile data is turned on under mobile networks. And yes it will go much quicker on WiFi.

Look at some of the bigger apps. Sometimes they hang and wait for wifi connection (if you are updating over LTE or 3G). Go into the playstore>my apps. In there find the bigger apps and stop the update on them. I found stuff like GMAIL hang for the wifi update as well as some of the other google apps. Hope this helps a lil.

So thank you all for your help yes I have my data on I made sure in all my settings are correct I get LTE I can use other apps that can use the web but it's just Play Store that we won't work for me right now so I will do what you say and check for bigger updates or just do it over wifi when I get home thanks to everyone!

Google Play Services Error

Hello,
I am using Redmi K30 5G edition with latest China ROM (V12.0.7.0.QGICNXM). I am using several ride sharing and food delivery apps. All those apps working somehow, but most of the time they show error while displaying my location on map and failed to detect location.
Check below screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
the error is: Google Play Services are updating...
It just keep showing instead of my location or any data on map. Although I have latest Google Play Service, Google Framework, Google Play Store etc. apps installed and updated. I am facing no problem while install/update apps from Play Store. I tried to fix the problem with installing Google Map app. But problem is not fixed.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Had the same issue, fixed it by installing Network Location app by Google from apkmirror.

Please help - How to find out if someone has opened my phone

Hey there everyone,
I have snooping wife issues.
I need to know if there is anyway I can see if my wife has opened my phone. It's Samsung A70 running Android 10.
Are there any logs that show what time my phone was opened.
She probably knows my password.
Just wanted to know.
Thanks.
Help and cool comments are highly appreciated please.

Lol. Root cause analysis provided to prevent future failures...

This is what I did.
I found out my "sleep timings" from Samsung Health located in setup and noted my sleep time from there.
Then I collated it with "Samsung Digital Well-being" to see if any of the messaging app was operated while I was sleeping.
It was not.
So I'm going to change the login pin and password.
Let the kids grow.
I'll be living alone when they move out.

Maybe try using the goodlock module "nice catch" by samsung, it stores data about notifications by apps and sudden wakeup of phone.
If goodlock is not available in your country try other alternatives like nicelock from playstore or any other app that provides same functionality.
