Google play store keeps updating - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

A while back I somehow found a way to prevent the play store app from updating. It involved the downloading of a phonesky.apk and I do have the file, but I cannot find the instructions I used that installed the apk file and no matter what I try, the play store app keeps updating. It's quite frustrating because I have a mirrorlink to my backup camera that has a NAV link to the phone that allows the nav to be on the player screen. The updated play store hampers the nav from working via the touch screen on the dash so it's quite a pain to get it to work right. If I remove the updates to the play store, everything works fine, but within minutes, if not seconds, the play store app again updates and all is messed up again.
This all happened because I had to revert to stock and re-root and do a restore to a previous nandroid backup, but somehow, something happened to the play store being updated by itself...
If anyone knows how I can implement the phonesky.apk I previously downloaded into the system again to prevent the market updating itself I will be so relieved! I have spent 2 days searching and cannot find how i did it before... It worked fine for over a year!
I have a Galaxy S4 running stock 4.2.2 Rooted.
Thank you to anyone who can help!
Aloha Ke Akua!

What a strange problem. First time it happened to me today. Play Store notified me of updates but I couldn't update the apps due to errors 941 & 921. Trying to view one of the apps returned an error too (forgot the code). I was going to uninstall Play Store as Mawdo suggested, but then I thought of trying to restore a nandroid backup which I had taken yesterday when everything was working fine. I restored the backup, and Play Store updated and downloaded apps with no errors.
Obviously this is a bit convoluted and time consuming than just uninstalling the Play Store update, but I wanted to share that this works too. Something during the course of the day could have borked Play Store on my phone.
Happen to me to last night. It seem google was working on the store because it works fine now.

The Google Play Store is experiencing some issues, they will be resolved shortly. Sit tight.

How do you update back to Play once you update the apps you need? I guess it doesn't matter THAT much, since it's essentially just a name change, but I'm wondering.

problem with widgets
when i try to put snote widget in the screen, its says dont have space in screen lol??????
cleared google play and everything works fine
try this but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too.
Edit......

Google Play not work on a Zeki

I recently bought a Zeki TBD753B. It was cheap thats why I bought it. It has Jelly Bean on it.
I have read through every possible post I could. I found out I had to root the tablet and install google play.
I have followed a lot of the posts I have seen. I was able to root it, but for some reason Google Play just will not work properly. I can get it installed but everytime I run the app it crashes on me after 5 to 10 seconds. I get "unfortunately Google Play has stopped working". I have even used Link2SD to change it from a user app to a system app. At this point it won't even load and i get the stopped working message right away. I can only assume that I am missing some kind of file. I tried the newest versions of Play and even an older version down to 3.5.19. I have tried clearing the data and the catche. I am at a loss.
The only reason It is such a big deal to me is that a majority of the apps I want to download seem to be only on Play.
forget this post
I finally got it figured out.
It had something to do with the version of Play I was using when I installed it.

N7100 Google Play Store Partial APK Updates not working. Please Help?

I'm using Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 running on latest Official Stock 4.1.2 Firmware.
For the past several weeks I have noticed that the Apps which are being updated through Google Play Store are no longer getting Partially updated, every time an App has to update the whole APK is being downloaded. Didn't Google from last year update the Play Store to partially update the installed Apps? Or is there something wrong with my device? I'm pretty sure few weeks back I used to have this service in my phone and everything was working properly, I mean the Partial updates from Play Store but suddenly this is not happening anymore. Please Help.
P.S I use Titanium Backup to update/restore my Apps, I once restored the Android ID through TB, does this have anything to do with the Apps update?
yes smart update is not working for me too since past 2 weeks or so

Help with Play Store error!

Hello I am new to this forum, hope this is the right place to post this,
I have a Rooted Galaxy S4 Mini, and I had a custom patch of the Play Store installed, but I just hated the icon and didnt notice any difference between the custom patch and the original version of the Play Store so I decided to go back to the original one and uninstalled the Custom one and installed the regular play store and when I did, I opened it and it started loading and showed me the Terms of Service once more but suddenly the little window with the Terms disappeared and the Play Store froze. Soon after it just crashed and a message saying it had stopped appeared. And this just repeats itself everytime I try to open it, It wont even let me tap accept or decline. I tried installing previous versions of the Play store and the same thing happens, tried clearing cache & data and reboot, didnt work, tried clear cache, data, then force stop and reboot and got nothing. tried doing this to Google Play Services, services framework and play store, nothing. I even tried uninstalling updates of Google Play services and all of this steps again. But nothing. And yes, my download manager is enabled. I was so desperate I decided to back everything up with Titanium backup and then I did a factory reset. When it turned on and I configured it, there was no Play Store in my apps. So I manually installed ES File Explorer and Titanium backup to restore my phone and my backup wasnt there unfortunately so I installed Play Store manually too and I got the same error! And now I got to personalize everything again and download all the stuff I had back in so it would be nice to at least get the Play Store working again, please help me!
Sorry for long post please give me some of your time and help me
Thanks
Are you on stock rom? Are you using the GT-I9195 LTE model?
I am on Stock ROM, and I have a GT-I9195L Model its supposed to be LTE I think.
It seems my problem has been solved! Thank god!
I updated all my apps through Aptoide and the play store too, somehow that fixed my problem even though it was the same version.
Thanks

Google Play Services

So I rooted my phone because i wanted full control over it.
I know a bit about android and stuff because im an app developer. But I have ruined my phone because i wanted to go back to the old market. I dont like the new google play so i decided to delete everything associated with google play store. And i know google play services updates the store so i also uninstalled it. When i realized that i couldn't have the market, i decided to revert back to google play. But now all the apps are saying "google play services error" or it needs an update. I have downloaded the latest version off the web (i cant get the play store to work :/) But i have tried lots of versions of both google play and google play services. None work! Any tips? I might have deleted the marketupdater.apk or something. Not sure....
Any help appreciated!

Maybe flashing a matching gapps package with cache/dalvik wipe might help. Though not if your on stock. Though if on stock flashing your stock ROM again with just a cache wipe might help.
Only guessing here though. I'd usually just flash my whole system from fresh if I came across a problem like this because I'm OCD about things like that.
