Hi, I am having this frustrating issue on my note 10+
Apps wont update from play store
Cant install new apps
Have tried clearing cache, data, removed google account and tried adding
Wiped Cache Partition
Booted into safe mode and tried - same issue, no apps can be installed, updated
Cache cleared
data cleared
I noticed this since the Android 12 and UI 4x was updated on my phone
Keeps giving me an error "Try again, and it it still doesnt work, see more common ways to fix the problem"
leads me to google help page and asks me to do steps 1-4 above
I do not want to reset the phone, pain pain pain
Can you please help me resolve this issue?
I been having the same issue. Im glad it's not just me.. have the same phone. Im on mint mobile.
Like you, tried all that you have listed, nothing works.
Contacted Samsung and they said ' well since you have tried the basic methods, need to send it in to be looked at or go to a certified Samsung servicer.' which is like 3hrs away from me.
Like you, I am pondering doing an factory reset.
Did some more scouring, and came across this.To disable the device care...worked for me. Hope it works for you.
How to disable device security on a Samsung phone

Playstore is a mess and a battery hog. I use it as little as possible.
I package disable it. I avoid "sampling" apps on Playstore unless I need to; they can damage the system making a factory reset necessary sometimes to repair the damage if you can't undo it. It's rare but it can happen.
I use ApkExport to backup all my apps. This is what I use if I need to reload, it's much faster and more precise.
Updates and upgrades can and do break things.
This N10+ is running on Pie, last firmware update was almost 2.5 years ago. The current OS will be 2 yo in June. Still fast, stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue.
My new N10+ is running on Android 10, it has a better UI but it's also more of a pain.
More than likely neither will ever be upgraded especially the newer one.
With scoped storage fully active in 11 it will slow the N10+ down. There are multiple issues with 12, I recommend not upgrading to 12 or 11 for that matter... you can likely rollback 12 to 11, but not 11 to 10 as the bootloader was upgraded too.
Same is true with 10 to 9, it can't be rolled back.
Look before you leap...

Wondering if anyone here may have a suggestion. For the past few months I have not been able to use anything ARCore related on my Pixel 3XL. Camera modes that use it (slow mo and playground), Measure app, etc. all crash immediately. The camera functions normally otherwise. I first noticed it when I went into the Beta program for Q, but for all I know it was happening before.
Things i have tried so far:
Reboot
Factory Reset
Complete re-install of Android 10
Complete re-install of Android 10 without restoring backups
Complete re-install of Android P without restoring backups
The only thing I can think is that I replaced a broken screen. Could I have damaged something while I had the phone open that is causing ARCore failures?
I received the latest AT&T update a week or so ago containing the 2.5 One UI update. After the update, I am experiencing some really strange issues with a variety of Google services.
1) Google Play Store updates are stalling. Most apps will download to a high percentage of completion (98% for example) and then just stall. If I leave the phone sit for a long time, eventually the updates will finish. This happens with every single app update or new download. I have 100GB free on the phone and it occurs on multiple networks (WIFI and AT&T).
2) GMail attachments won't download. They also stall at 0%.
3) I don't receive any incoming text messages when Google Messages Chat is enabled. Turning off chat and switching to SMS works though several texts say they failed to send and I have to retry (and they always end up going through). WIFI Calling is enabled.
4) Notifications from multiple apps are returning after I swipe them away. (Notification reminders is turned off in accessibility settings).
I did the usual - cleared cache in Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Download Manager. I cleared the cache after booting to recovery. When none of that fixed it, I completely reset my phone to factory conditions. Everything worked fine for 2 days and then today, all of the problems came back.
Everything else about the phone is normal as usual. I can't figure this one out and don't know what else to troubleshoot.
Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu.

Is that the same thing as clearing the cache after booting to recovery? (Volume up and power button)

That's it. Can work like voodoo on lots of gremlins.
If that doesn't get it try clearing data on the Google apps. Might have to take it back to the stone age but probably not.
Reboot afterwards if you do. Playstore is a pain.
If the OS hasn't been reloaded since Q was flashed consider reloading to get a snappy clean load.
My 3rd OS load is the best.
Although I'm still running Pie, it's fast and very stable... lol, I like dinosaurs. I don't update a lot as it usually causes more problems than it solves.
I had cleared the cache from recovery before I factory reset and it didn't fix it. However, I just tried it again on the new rebuild and this time I cleared the cache 5 times in a row and then rebooted. It appears to have fixed all of the problems. I wonder if it was a bad app update to Google Play Services after the restoration to factory conditions?

Sometimes you're better off staying on the factory load versions. I never let auto updates run.
I keep Playstore disabled unless I want to use it or check for updates because of this and it also is a resource pig.
Manually doing it makes spotting the trouble maker easier.
I also keep backup copies of known good updates for system apks so that the factory load isn't my only recourse if a apk been updated more than once. APK Export is a great freeware app for doing this. Backup all your Playstore apps too for faster and easier reloads. Plus if Playstore discontinues the app, you still have it. Been boned by Playstore* once too often.
*sometimes the software goes greedy, gets sold or there's a licensing issue. Either way once it's gone having a known good copy makes life so much easier.
Hello,
The same thing is happening to me but for several months now. I am in Spain with Movistar. The only way I could get them to update the Google Play APPs was to switch my mobile to "safe mode" and from there it really works.
I'm going to try a factory reset, to see how it went.

A reload probably won't help. It will very likely reoccur.
It sounds like a 3rd* party apk is the culprit.
Find the root cause and correct it.
It may be just a setting issue in a 3rd party apk.
*they include carrier, Samsung and misc others you installed.
Xiaomi Mi 10T 12.1.1.0.RJDMIXM
I experienced the following issues after recently updating to Android 11. Any help would be much appreciated.
1. I can no longer side load any app.
APK installation fails every time whether it's attempted on the phone or via ADB. I tried everything I could find online short of disabling MIUI optimization, as I'd prefer not to suffer the pain of resetting permissions (again). Has anyone successfully restored side load functionality in Android 11 by disabling MIUI optimization?
It may instead be related to something Google introduced with Android 11 called app integrity, which apparently makes it more difficult (hopefully not impossible) to install apps from sources other than the Play store. If this is the culprit, does anyone know of a workaround that doesn't involve me having to root my phone (too much hassle/risk for my liking), or reverting to Android 10 (assuming that's possible)?
2. MX Player keeps crashing after a few seconds of video playback.
I'm not sure whether this is a fault of MX Player, MIUI or Android 11. It's the latest version and worked just fine before the update.
3. BlackPlayer keeps hanging whenever I open it.
I'm not sure whether this is a fault of BlackPlayer, MIUI or Android 11. It's the latest version and worked just fine before the update.
I updated my Mi10T Pro to Android 11 with that version through OTA. After multiple reboots all sorts of weird things were still happening and I wasn't happy using the phone. The things you describe are the sort of problems I had - though not those things specifically.
I the end I figured I had no choice but to do a Factory Reset. Yes, it was a painful process re-authenticating into most apps, but since then the phone has been completely stable and no issues, including easy sideloading.
Neither of these three issues were solved by performing a factory reset, unfortunately.
Although, it turns out that if you uninstall 'MIUI security components' (com.miui.guardprovider) when debloating – something I believe Xiaomi introduced with this version of MIUI – you lose the ability to side load. Leaving it alone retains the ability to install from unknown sources.
So at least that's fixed!
New problem. Starting with this version of MIUI, if you allow an app to display permanent notifications, they'll be shown on the lock screen even if you've disabled lock screen notifications. I suppose this will get fixed in a future update.
For Mx player issue.. Temporary fix is every time you open it, after opening go to the mx player app info and force stop it then open mx player again. You'll be able to play videos normally.
Yesterday I updated my S20 Plus 5G Exynos to Android 12 (One UI 4.0). Since this update I have problems using Bluetooth with apps in secure folder and work profile.
I have tried to reinstall all apps, completely reset the work profile and the secure folder, reset the bluetooth settings, clear data / cache of the Bluetooth application and I cannot solve this bug.
Anyone know what else I can try? Thanks a lot
Factory reset after a major firmware update.
Don't use SmartSwitch as it can cause issues.
Factory reset done. Didn't use SmartSwitch, just fresh install. Bluetooth devices still not working on secure folder or work profile.
Roll it back to 11 if you can.
Rule #1 - if a OS version is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be...
I have an unlocked Fold 3, purchased directly from Samsung. When I try to do the OTA update to Android 12, after the reboot into the updater (the robot screen), it fails every time at 25% and then reboots back into 11. I have verified Google play services are up to dare.
Anyone have an idea other than doing a factory reset and then trying?

Are you taking an OTA update that was pushed to your phone? Or are you trying to manually update it?
If it's the OTA, use Odin to do a fresh install. You will likely end up losing stuff but that makes it a clean install. Backup everything, screen shots for things you can't just backup, and you should be back in the saddle.
There's not much else you can do via OTA. Even Sammy will suggest a reset, but they aren't much help anyway.
Try using Samsung smart switch through a pc. Connect your phone to pc and there you can select update and it shall update your phone. Hopefully this will pass without issue.
