App updates keep failing

First it was ilomilo, now Flixster. An update shows available, appears to download fine, then it just seems to abort and nothing happens. The app then continues to show update available. And if I retry the status goes from Pending to Installing, but the progress bar never moves and the app never updates.
Tried everything short of a factory reset, and the only solution seems to be to uninstall the app completely and reinstall.
Is there another fix? Some apps have still updated fine.

i have had the problem for a while now.... theres some games as well

When it happens to me, and it has happened about 3 times now, I delete the app and then reinstall it.

This bug happened when a developer update the app, and change the name of this app. For example, surfcube browser is update to 1.2 and the developerschange the name of the app in surfcube 3d browser.
i have the same bug!!

I have only noticed this will trial versions of apps. If you have a trial app, then you have to uninstall and re-download to update it. As for ilomilo and some other games, you have to use Wi-Fi to download the game. There is a file size limit(don't know what it is) but that was the only way I could get Harvest, Earth Worm Jim, and the Ilomilo update from my phone.

Try deleting the market cache. That's resolved that issues for me on the few occasions it has popped up.

Yeah, I have only noticed this when using trial apps as well so I think that's the problem. Maybe its Microsoft's idea of making you want to buy the app as the trial version update procedure is annoying lol

It's happened with free apps also.

Being unable to update to update trial apps is quite a well documented bug with the marketplace and is going to be fixed

this issue can be solved by uninstalling and re-installing the app.

"number of apps is not enough to start dual window"

For the third time yesterday since getting my phone (D855 32GB, from Amazon.de and on Three in the UK), I went to use Dual Window and instead of it opening got a toast message saying "number of apps is not enough to start dual window". My /system/etc/com.lge.spltwindow.xml file is modified to add Tomtom Europe and Music (Tomtom wont work on QHD and can't see to get it working by adjusting res/DPI settings for the app), though that has been working fine.
Restart fails to fix it. Clearing cache or data for "Dual Window" app fails to fix it.
Restoring the original XML file and reboot does not fix it; still get the error message.
First two times I did a factory data reset, which although it did restore the app to a working state, is not ideal as I needed to go through restoring my apps/data/config.
Happened again last night. This time I tried a restore of "Dual Window" data using Titanium Backup then rebooted and that did not fix it.
I then did an app+data restore with Titanium Backup and that did fix it... which is strange as I would not expect the app to be corrupt!
Has anyone else come across this problem?

I have the same problem. Seems to stop working a lot. I am running CloudyG3 1.2 on LG G2 (802). Did you manage to solve or fix this problem? as I have had no luck.

just happened again.
this time went into /system/private-app and ran SplitWindowService.apk
seemed to work OK straight after that went through installing.
not sure what it is updating when running the apk to identify what file/setting is broken.

me too...

Had the same issue, but a restart seems to fix it.. any one figured why this even occurs / permanent fix?

a restart does not fix it for me. next time I notice it's in a broken state I will make a Tibu and compare to a working backup.

So I found the splitwindowservice.apk copied it to internal storage. Deleted the apk from priv-apps. Reboot, move the apk back to priv-app, fix permissions and restart.
Still not working :/

I didn't do all of that. All I did was click on the app and chose install. That's it. It worked fine afterwards.

Toggle Dual Window of/on quickly fixed the issue (till next time)
Still getting this issue periodically with 10n. Found a quicker way of fixing the issue than reinstalling the splitwindow APK.
Go in to settings > General > Dual Window, and toggle off/on.
Worked for me just now, when I have been getting the issue since rebooting my phone yesterday (to swap a nearly flat battery for a spare).
Till next time...

I had the same problem with my Lg g3 D855b 16GB
But leaving the phone for a while and try to open the dual window again did fix it

working for me
I had the same error after installing Flex MultiWindows Mod on original 4.4.2 firmware on D855
and after toggling with the Dual Windows, all my newer appz are there too now
Cheers

Live weather lockscreen wallpaper not updating suddenly

Does anyone here use the live weather lockscreen wallpaper? It only started giving me issues just a few days ago (I've used it for months without a hitch). It seems that it simply won't update the location, even though I have location set to high accuracy. The weather widget is updating its location just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what to try to get it working again? I'm wondering if it has to do with the latest LP update to OF1...
Edit: Followup - I gave up trying to avoid a factory reset and just went ahead with it. It's working now as expected. I've no idea what caused the problem, but I suspect I deleted some files I shouldn't have. Hope this helps someone else if they so happen to also use this feature and it stops working.

Update: Yeah, I spoke too soon. It's definitely one of the apps on my phone interfering with it, as it worked for about 24 hours after the FDR. My guess is a recent update to one of Samsung's apps may be disrupting it. The investigation continues (for as long as I have interest in trying to fix this).
Any idea of where else to look? Is there an easy way of finding out when exactly each app was last updated or installed?

I recently have the same issue. ES File Explorer has a way to view installed apps and sort by most recently modified. It's on the lefthand pop out menu under library. Curious to know what you find out and if it's truly a recently updated app causing the issue. Note I can manually make it work by manually resetting the lockscreen wallpaper, but it only updates once, then stuck again.

So I'm not going crazy! Glad to know I'm not the only one. This also works for me, and only once. You can also force close the Live Weather app or reboot the phone and have the same effect.
I'll see what I can find from ES when I get the time and report back. Thanks for the info!

Hard to believe we're the only ones experiencing this. Your post was the only recent hit I got on Google (that's why I joined this forum). Sure tons on how to get the location settings right to work correctly with the lock screen weather wallpaper but that's old news. If it's any help I have the latest Verizon OTA update OF1 on Note 4 as well and keep my apps updated weekly. But I just got this issue maybe Sunday 8/9? Or at least that's when I guess I noticed.

That's true - perhaps many don't really care enough to pursue fixing this issue, too. Hehe
There was a recent update for the VZ note 4 - now the build ends in OG5. Hasn't fixed the issue to no surprise. It was mostly a fix for the Stagefright vulnerability from what I gathered.
I tried disabling the Samsung Push Service app yesterday, no change in lockscreen behavior so that app can be checked off. I'm trying not to go crazy with disabling a bunch of apps all at once, and my free time is also limited. This will be a long and grueling process...
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I also was hoping the recent security OTA update would fix this but no joy. Just FYI I stumbled on an app that does nearly the same thing, Weather+ by Lalaworks. It's in the Play store. I installed on my Tab Pro since that didn't have weather lockscreen built in. You might want to check it out in the interim. A bit of hefty ram usage but that's the price for eye candy I guess.

I just tried a factory reset again yesterday with a minimum installation of apps. No luck again. I did go bloatware-disable happy though. I have nearly 40 apps disabled. I did try re-enabling all apps for a bit a couple of weeks ago though, which didn't seem to make a difference anyway. I *might* try a 3rd reset tonight and leave all bloatware (minus DTIgnite and VZ Protection) enabled for a day and see where that takes me.
After that, I'll throw in the towel. I can't really see the apps I have disabled now interfering with the wallpaper, especially when they were disabled for months on end with proper operation. Thanks for an alternative solution, will have to check that out.
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

The verdict isn't out yet on Weather+ for me. Seems to work okay but no lock screen notifications, at least I can't find that setting in the app. Don't want to have to find another 3rd party app to get Lollipop lock screen notifications back. Ugh! We may have to wait for the L 5.1 or M update I fear.

@imamax, you mentioned you noticed this starting around 8/9. Did you update to the OF1 build around that time?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Unfortunately no, I did that update 7/19.

Interesting my wallpaper did change on its own tonight. Just once so far. Weird the pic from Flickr says Berkley... I'm in Massachusetts and weather widget location is correct. Updates from Play Store tonight were Facebook, Google Play Games, Angry Birds Friends, Netflix. Something to chew on.

Huh, interesting. Did you happen to reboot your phone recently, prior to that happening? Do you have the wallpaper set to update over WiFi only?
I just did one final factory reset, and installed no additional apps. I disabled "DT Ignite" and "Support and Protection" and It seems like the lock screen wallpaper was changing overnight while I stayed put. We'll see if it updates now that I'm going to work...

Nope no reboot and no WiFi only. Still stuck on same screen this morning though. We'll see what happens today.

Kind of a long shot but...do you use any sort of security lock on your phone? I use the fingerprint scanner on my lock screen. I wonder if security is somehow affecting the live weather app's access to changing the wallpaper... It's a far-fetched thought but so far the screen hasn't updated for me since early this morning.

Nope. No PIN, no finger scan, nothing. Just swipe and unlock.

I've had DT ignite dialed for a while and VZ Protection was update 7/3. No change all day so far.

Oops meant disabled not dialed.

I succumbed to doing another reset, just so I could restore a backup from a couple of weeks ago rather than manually download all the apps I once had again. Interestingly the lockscreen updated itself once within the hour after setting it as the wallpaper after the reset, but hasn't updated since. I'm out of ideas. I also kept DTIgnite running overnight. That's being disabled now...

Alright, a little update. I exchanged some posts with Verizon on their forum, and they *might* look into it. It must be a bug with the latest software updates, or something on Yahoo's end. But a coworker here uses the wallpaper with no problem on his ATT Note 4...
Is there anyone else out there on here using the Wallpaper on the OG5 or OF1 builds??
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I am using the Note 4 on at&t (SM-910A) and am experiencing the same problem. It seems to have begun malfunctioning after the stagefright fix. City images no longer load, and it does not update periodically anymore (only after restarting the phone). Thought about factory reset but haven't done so yet. I tried clearing caches (including android system cache), disabling reenabling; everything aside from factory reset. No dice. Hoping the 5.1 update provides a fix.

New Wear firmware update on watch- 8/20

My watch just downloaded an update and is flashing now. No idea what this is. Will post back when it reboots. This isn't a new watch either, have had my watch for months now. Hope this is the expected August update!!

Can someone please test the weather app, it just says "weather data can not downloaded - check your internet connection" (translated from german)
Any settings I can do there ? I tried bluetooth connection via Nexus 5 and WIFI - both do not work with weather app...
Versions are:
AW: 1.3.0.2160025
PlayServices: 7.8.99 (2134222-543)
System 5.1.1
BuildNr: LCA43

There is also a new watch face called together let's you message other watches I think fails to load for me. Might have to do a factory reset. Also noticed the round corners don't show on everything just some watch faces and apps, also weather isn't working for me.

You didn't manage to pull the OTA did you?

Aside from the faces, given that this is a new firmware, i am VERY interested in seeing if the battery bug has been addressed yet...

How can I STOP this update.? I dont want anything changing on my SW3!

If ya have the option to update and haven't rebooted yet you should try to pull it for the rest of us. To answer your question though you should just be able to swipe it away and keep doing that if you don't want to update.

While we wait and hope somebody grabs the link/file, can i ask why you feel so strongly? Given that any time you have to unpair the watch (reset phone, switch phones, etc) you HAVE to factory reset the phone in order for it to connect again. Its not like there is any user data to preserver, so i am curious about what you don't want changed...

Got the update! Had to reset 5 times. Factory reset the watch, forget the watch in the Wear app settings, and clear data of the Wear app in Settings>Apps.

Did you let it sync apps each time? Or interrupt that while it was syncing apps and check for an update, and then factory reset again?

Weather app on watch no longer working

Weather app on watch no longer working. I have tried everything to get it working but to no avail. Can anyone help?

Factory reset made the trick for me. I was lazy to do it after the upgrade but it is a must to avoid errors.

A huge must. I even reset my phone because i was havung some trouble like google play app didnt show up on watch along with other apps. Also i will call and it wouldn't be on the watch
