[Q] Google Now Won't Update on Stock Jellybean [SOLVED]

Hi all, looking for a little help here.
My wife and I both have AT&T Galaxy S3 phones. We updated them both to Jellybean through Kies.
For some reason on my wife's phone, I can't update Google Now (google search). In the play store from her phone it says her device is not compatible. If I log into the play store from a computer, it shows her device is compatible but when I try to download it, it says oops and to try again later. I tried clearing cache and data on the phone but am still having the same issue.
I was able to update my phone to the new google now version with no issues.
Any suggestions?

I had issues with Google search FC'ing on me earlier. I used TiBu to uninstall it completely, then re-installed from Google Play. Fixed my issues. You can see if it will help you.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately these phones are stock (not rooted) so I don't have the option to uninstall. If it why my phone I would just root and try your suggestion.
Sadly, that is a no fly zone for my wife.

Hey I had this issue last night but I did Mr Robinsons method with the rooted official JB he provided and I was able to update the Google now as you described.

Anyone else have any suggestions? I can't root her phone so I need a non-root alternative.

This issue seems to have just resolved itself today. Checked my wife's phone when I got home from work and it let me update no problem. Thank you to those that offered suggestions.

If it happens again, try clearing data for Google search.

[Q] !!! Bunch of google play errors on every restart !!!

I have been seeing these bunch of errors (screenshots) at every re-start for the past couple of days. I am running Viper Rom version 2.5.
I tried to run the GPE rom as well but i get the same errors on that rom as well. Not sure what the issue is but nothing is broken apart from the weather app/widget not able to find the current location. It just shows 'current location' instead of the actual location. But this does not affect the Maps at all, it pin points my exact location on the Map.
Can anybody help with this?

Sounds like a dirty flash, did you do a factory reset? A factory reset should fix that.

Yes i did a reset and clean flash. Still has the same issues.

I'm having the same issue on viper 2.5. Never had problems before. I even followed steps to convert play store from user to system app and downgraded play services to the latest 5 version, in which everything works well, cleared data/cache/defaults, uninstalled and reinstalled market. But every time I reboot it updates to version 6 and the problems begin. I even used disable services app to prevent it from updating, but still happens. Any help would be appreciated. (Forgot to mention that all apps work well but with constant error pop-ups)

Glad you wrote this. Been having same problem a UK rom debranded m8. I get the same errors restart but google play is popping up saying there's been a problem followed by a goggle services popup. I narrowed it down to either news and weather app or me just getting a new car and syncing with it. Filling in a zip code made the errors less. Still annoying as hell. Either latest google play update borked things or news and weather is causing a big fluke like it has several times in the past.

[SOLVED] Can't download large apps from Play Store

Good morning everyone,
I flashed Nougat OxygenOS (Open Beta 8) some days ago and made a full factory reset to obtain f2fs filesystem.
Since then, I can't install any big app from Play Store; with "big" I mean "games bigger than ~100MB", for example Monster Dash, Need for Speed, Implosion or Badlands.
I read about other people having the same issue, but no solution. Is anyone having this?
EDIT: issue solved in OpenBeta9!
Thanks.

Yup, same here. Downloads disappearing during downloading process has been a common issue on most of my android phones. But it's happening more regularly with OP3 now and wasn't an issue on stock build 3.2.7.

no problem.. are you waiting for wifi to download or what?..

Never had this issue before.
Tried in wifi, but when I click "install" it seems stuck with the "Downoading..." status with no progress.

Issue solved with OpenBeta9.
Thanks anyway!

Android Auto Broken for me since Oreo! Problem persists across OOS and Custom Roms!

I am having major issues with android auto since Oreo
Essentially, what is happening is that the Android Auto app itself will work with two and only two apps. They are Google Maps and Google Play Music.
My problem is, none, and I truly do mean no other 3rd party apps will work with Android Auto.
I should also restate that this is a problem with the Android Auto app itself, so let's pretend no head unit or car is involved. This can be replicated on just the phone.
Here's the behavior:
-Open android auto
-Open any 3rd party app (Let's say IheartRadio)
Either one of two things happen next:
-Instantly get a screen that says "IHeartRadio Doesn't Seem to Be Working"
OR
-IHeartRadio starts like it should, and is able to play music for about 15 seconds, and then I get "Doesn't seem to be working" screen
-This happens for every 3rd party app, not just IHeart, but Plex, TuneIn, Radio Scanner, EVERYTHING except Google Play Music and Google Maps.
I should also state that Android Auto and 3rd party apps worked without a hitch, absolutely flawlessly in Nougat.
And, I've asked around the OP5t forums here and nobody is having the same problem.
-------
What I've tried so far (And hasn't worked)
-Re installing Android Auto
-Re installing every 3rd party app and re-trying
-Installing a custom ROM (Oreo) (Same exact behavior right after factory reset flashing new rom )
-Tried installing 3rd party apps from a non google play source
-Flashing OOS 8.0 Stable, as well as OB4 thru factory wipes
What I haven't tried:
-Re-locking the bootloader and flashing back to OOS nougat (Would this even help?)
I'm totally at wits end here, folks. I bought the OP5t to accompany my new car as my old phone couldn't handle android auto, this is one of the most imporatnt features to me.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Would flashing back to nougat and locking the bootloader like the phone was brand new help me? I've never seen such a problem that persists through clean flashes.
Thank you kindly everyone,

Hey!
I had this exact same problem.
I managed to solve this.
I am on OOS Open Beta 4.
Install latest:
Android Auto:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/
Android System Webview:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-system-webview/
Google Maps:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-9-74-0-release/
Google App:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-7-23-24-release/
Google Play Services:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-12-2-21-release/
After installing all the apps, reboot your phone.
Android auto should work smooth again!

Just FYI, the bootloader status (locked/unlocked) has nothing to do with this.

Hey there, first and foremost, thank you so much for taking time to respond! I tried your suggestion, but I'm still not having any luck
I'm going to keep messing around with it, but thank you again for the reply.

Ohh that is really weird. Make sure you install all the Google Beta apps, and also the latest Android Auto version.
Are you using the Red Dash cable?

Yes, I'm using the dash cable that came with the phone, but this problem is isolated within the android auto app. I don't need to connect it to the car to get the issues I'm having. Just launching the app on the phone itself and starting up a 3rd party app will trigger the "seems to not be working" screen.
If I connect it to the car, the same behavior happens. No issue with the connection to the car since I'm still able to use Maps and Play.
I'm considering flashing back to nougat to see if it works and OTA'ing til I get stable 8.0 and dirty flashing OB4 today.

UPDATE!!!
I got it working, and how I fixed it was a total PITA, but it works and I'm on OOS OB4.
Here's what I did:
1. Download the first available nougat OOS and flash it. Factory wipe from stock recovery. Once booted, install android auto and 3rd party apps. Test if it works, if so...
2. Sign in google account and update to 5.0.4 via OOS updater
3. Once rebooted into 5.0.4, take OB4 and stick it onto root, and reboot to recovery again
4. I dirty flashed OB4 over 5.0.4 and it seems to work fine!
I haven't tested this in my car yet, I will be on a long drive tomorrow and update results.

Waze on android auto
Waze is working parallel to google Maps without any problems. When you open navigate both programs are shown.

Damn I just noticed it. My maps work but I tried to open Google play music and got the same error.

That was the one thing that consistently worked for me. Which rom are you on?

Play store issue after update

I dont know if this is specifically a Razer issue, that's what I'm here trying to find out
Yesterday my play store automatically updated To 12.9.12
And now every time I go to search it force closes.
Full disclosure I'm rooted with magisk and I have xposed. ROM is stock 8.1 build opm1.171019.011-rzr-180803.6033
As a part of troubleshooting I did actually try to uninstall xposed but the issue still remained.
If I go to settings and disable (uninstall updates) and reenable and Clear data it works...but shortly after it reupdates itself.
There's options to disable apps from Auto updates but not the play store. There's guides to stop it from Auto updating with service disabler but it's missing options in the guides and also doesn't work.
I'm here trying to find out if
A. anyone else is experiencing the same issue.
B. If anyone has found a solution
C. If there's no solution does anyone know how to stop the play store auto updates on 8.1 razer
Any help appreciated
Thanks!:fingers-crossed:

Still no replies just wanted a slight update
I installed a log app so you guys can see whats happens when it crashes... No idea if this helps... Id also like to add I found out the version doesn't matter it starts working when I clear data and stops shortly after so I suppose stopping the update is pointless, its just what i thought originally was the solution but then I relized it crashes on the old version too... So yea the only thing that stops crashing is clear data but its only a temp fix for minutes until crashing returns anyway heres my log

Alright guys... I guess i was wrong it was xposed... I originally didn't fully uninstall it when testing my issue is solved now... Its apperently a known xposed for oreo issue
Anyway problem solved
Sucks because i really really like xposed but oh well what can you do ill just have to be patient and wait for them to work out the beta bugs.

I don't think it will ever get past beta or get another update. The last release was in January and now Pie is here soon and I think that will be the end of Xposed.
