On manually installing Google Play System Updates, I encounter problems.
I am on the April Android Security Update and also the April Google Play System Update (and no rooting or custom ROMs).
But there are still 2 Google Play System Updates waiting, one of 9.9MB and one of about 700KB that comes after that.
But after installating the 9.9MB patch, my phone will spontaneously reboot within one minute of starting the phone.
Not every time, I have sometimes rebooted my phone succesfully after installing the patch, and installed the second patch. But always after a couple of phone reboots, my phone will suddenly reboot after restarting the phone.
And when that happens (and only then), the 9.9MB patch is waiting for me again, so apparently it is rolled back when that happens.
I have found at least four forum threads online in different languages of people having the same problem, but I actually thought it would have more coverage.
(I have submitted a bug report with Samsung, previously they were quick to respond when I filed a bug report, but not this time)
I have noticed exactly the same issue. I haven't noticed the 700KB update. When I apply the 9.9MB April update, and reboot, the phone restarts itself before I can do anything else.
Sitting on the March Google Play System update, the phone seems to be working OK otherwise.
The May system update (so not the google play system update) appears to have fixed this issue. I am now fully up to date with patches for both system update (May) en google play system update (April), and could manually reboot 5 times without issue.

Rooted with Su, and Hidden with Suhide
After every restart, i get 2 app crashes of Gboard and Google App Services, the keyboard and everything seems to function normally after the crashes.
Attempted to clear data/caches on both apps, no change.
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? Would prefer not to wipe completely.
Thank you
It might be a simple OTA issue, it probably bring some unneeded props from previous build (I adjusted nav bar in beta 3 so I can use pip but even after final release I still have it).
You can always flash factory ota image without wiping the phone. You need to edit a .bat file ofc, which is just removing a "-w" part.
But don't take my advice if you are not going to take a back up. It might get ugly also ?
Thank you for your thoughts. I spent too many hours trying to get it to work properly. I think I have it now. Hopefully this helps someone:
I found greenify was having issues and possibly locking apps/files after the update.
Uninstalled Greenify, and Pandora (which Greenify was complaining about)
Uninstalled Gboard
Removed device admin for Play Services
Uninstalled all updates for Play Services
Cleared all app preferences
Rebooted
Installed Play Services
Installed Gboard
Rebooted
Installed Greenify
Installed Pandora
Errors gone at this point. Will report back if something else comes up.
Good morning! Alright. So. All I've done to my phone was Root it and get Xposed on it. Everything was completely fine until last night. Now, whenever I try to download anything from the Playstore, it just gets stuck on "Downloading". I've tried wiping its cache, its data, force closing it, reinstalling the update. Nothing seems to solve this issue. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue on this phone, and how they resolved it? I can't even update my applications, and I didn't even get a chance to Update my Phone, but now when I try to Scan for Updates, it just gets stuck searching :/
This happened to me at first. What worked for me for a couple days was to toggle airplane mode. Then, it started getting stuck again. So, I downloaded Beans GAPPS, and extracted Google Play services and Play Store.apk, and that seems to be working. Keep in mind, that not everything is going to work smoothly. If none of this works, look for the .apk and move it to your device and install it that way. Hope that helps, bud.
I tried Googling Beans GApps, but it seems like they haven't been updated in about a year. Or am I looking in the wrong places?
This has also been my problem since getting a pixel 2 xl almost a month ago. In fact, I wanted to make a thread about my issue earlier but I'm just too lazy! The only thing I did at first was to unlock the bootloader.
Now, I am completely stock without even root but my playstore downloads are stuck in "downloading" and usually the download starts after being stuck in this phase with about 15-30 minutes delay (which could even be hours before my download is finally started, so it's random). The funny thing is playstore lists my device certification status as "uncertified" in the settings. I have tried clearing cache+data of play services+play store+removing/adding my Google account. I also did a fresh and clean install of the May security update rom but all to no avail. I remember reading in another thread that Google may impose a 7 day lock or something for your Google account in these instances so at this point I am just waiting it out (only 3-4 more days remaining) to see if my problem goes away by itself, otherwise, I am pretty clueless as to what I should do next.
Hi,
Anyone getting an error on Google Play Store installing apps or app updates? Some weeks ago one of my installed apps had an update and when installing it gave an error -- no error code as far as I could see. The update continued to be listed every time I went to the Store and stayed there. Finally I decide to uninstall / install the app hoping it would fix the issue. But no, then I couldn't install the app all together, producing the same error. I've contact the developers and after some weeks they replied saying it was an issue on Google's Store. I've reach Google which after investigating, are not aware of any similar problem. I've also done all the procedures recommended in such situation like cleaning cache, data, ... from Google Store; removing and adding back Google ids on the devices, nothing. Unable to solve this I finally gave up some days back.
Yesterday, the problem started with another app update. I see the update, click install, it downloads, starts installing, gives an error and goes back to be listed in the available updates...
Any help welcome.
Thanks.
Same thing happened to me, the reason is Google Play, I uninstalled Google play since my Chinese version didnt come with one, I then had to use a third party installer and installed the newest Google play and everything went back to normal and was able to install all the apps I havent been able to in the last 2 months but didnt care enough to figure it out until last week when I got fed up.
Hi,
Thanks for the inputs.
I've the EVR-L29 running Google services so I can only remove the updates from the Store, data and cache; which I did but didn't solve the problem. I also removed Google user, reboot, and added it back. Issue still persists...
I've contact Google and seems they are not aware of any similar problem. At least that was the feedback I received.
I do see a couple of comments of other users of the app I can't install with the same problem; someone with a Xiaomi and another user with a Huawei phone.
Any ideas? Thanks.
The only thing I can go by is what occurred to me I couldn't install chipotle app or anything, it took uninstalling it, I do know there is a command to uninstall apps and there was an app as well, been awhile but if memory serves me right, the app you used to find the location was App inspector then you had to uninstall it through and adb command line. I would check to see what version of Google Play you have installed. The version I installed that fixed my issue was version 25.4.20-21
Just received an update to Security Hub via Playstore and a tad later a Play-systemupdate (3.9 MB).
After reboot, the Play-systemupdate date still shows December 1, 2021.
However, I noticed that the following package was updated:
Code:
BEFORE UPDATE:
com.google.android.modulemetadata 2021-12-01S+ (311234004)
AFTER UPDATE:
com.google.android.modulemetadata 2021-12-01S+ (311235004)
Just checked and I got the same.
My security patch still shows October, it use to say december
Edit: now that I checked again it's on to November now, weird
Mine shows the update is November.
Mine says Nov

There were some reports of people (when the December play systemupdate was released) that updated (manual push), but the version didn't change (stayed on November). It was unclear back then if people "succesfully" upgraded, meaning it was just a display error, or if the update process failed for no error reason given.
So it might very well be that you are already on the December update.
Installes the first smaller one and got offered a larger second one (~50mb IIRC). After abother reboot, Google Play system Update sais Dec 1st 2021.
any ramifications of this? I saw the update in the playstore too
I have a security update of Dec. 5th and Play System update of Nov. 1st. I've also tried several times to update again.
I just checked my Playstore Systemupdate.
I was on December 1 patch - when I clicked on it, I was told a restart was needed to install the most recent update. Now I installed that update, and I am still on December 1. Odd.
Ever since I accidentally factory reset a few weeks back, I've been on the November Play System update, and still am with no updates available. Running on the December stock rooted firmware on the factory unlocked P6P.
Seems as if Google is rolling out the December update to those who were stuck on October. May be related to that in some way. I have been on December and got and update yesterday that put me on, well, December . I wonder if sometimes they just update a module or two without updating to a full new month because this happens often it seems to many people.
[Dec. update out] Google Play system update stuck for some devices
Some Google Pixel users (other devices too) are stuck on an older Google Play system update and issue has been escalated.

Hey. I've been having this issue on my Bonito device with a factory image and even with a custom rom (Pixel Experience). Initially I was able to download stuff after the first time set up but like after the first hour, or day, it just stops working. The download is infinitely pending. I've tried a bunch of different factory images for Android 9-12 as well as PE13. But they all stop working after a while. Any fix? Thanks!
EDIT: Figured it out. Turns out Play Services needed to update and it never notified me to update. lol
