[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] Cannot complete Google Play Updates or Downloads

Hi Everyone, I have a somewhat unique problem which I have not been able to find on XDA or elsewhere. Since the 4.1.1 update, which I received yesterday, I have not been able to complete any app updates via a data connection (atm I do not have a Wi-fi connection). I am still able to make calls, send SMSs and browse the internet with no issues.
When I attempt to update an app, it will hang at a certain percentage such as the google search app which stalls at 45%. I've tried to update that numerous times but somehow it always hangs at that percentage.
I've tried to clear the cache and all data for any task related to Google Play. Finally I tried a factory reset, but I am still having the same problems; only now I have lost all my apps, and they two cannot finish their re-download to my HTC device.
This is my first thread so just let me know if I have done anything wrong, and I'll try my best to correct it.
Thanks

I think we are on the same CID HTC_023? I have not had any problems with either updating or installing apps from Google Play. You've done what I would have done in you case. Any chance you can connect to a wifi network and try it, at a coffee shop or through a friend?

thanks for the reply

I've been able to download and update apps via Wif-fi at uni. The problem only seems to be with downloading Google Play Store updates and apps via data. I guess the problem must be with my current version of Google Play (the latest) or my carrier

i have same problem too before uninstall google play and service......reboot...install it again...

hmmm i had somthing like this some time ago while dowloading big games like GTA and such... what i tried is canceling and then imidiatly retring the download. You could also change from network, use other wifi or your own data.
Btw is your account set up download just in wifi? because it wont download unless you are in a wifi network
Hope this helps

Well if not working try reseting the phone

I had the same problem yesterday, and I tried to check the My Apps menu in Playstore, it happened that all apps in "Installed" tab are downloading updates all at the same time. So I cancelled all the process and everything is back to normal.

Update Error
Hi! I'm having the very same problem. Any advice please?

Are the apps you are trying to update on the micro sd. If so try moving them to the device storage before you update.

Possible solution
@reaf
A factory reset should work. However, I disabled my downloads app and the downloads provider and the play store refused to open.
I think that you should try to disable both of them; wipe any data or cache.
Then reboot and enable them and reboot again.
This should solve the problem.

Nexus 7 2013 Marshmallow not play store joy...
My Nexus 7 2013 updated with latest OTA Marshmallow some time ago, have rebooted a couple of times since then, suddenly stopped doing any app updates even though it seemed to think it needed to do so. The downloading progress bar would just go on forever. I finally got fed up and reset cache and data, rebooted and nothing. Then I did a factory reset, but let it try to re-add all my apps, that was taking forever as well and never actually getting anything to complete the installation. Then I did a factory reset without restoring any apps. The tablet runs, I can surf the web, lots of other things, but when I start the play store it apparently is the older version of the play store and it never wants to update itself. When I click the play store build(5.12.7) within play store settings, it says there is a newer version available and will be installed. That hasn't happened for 2 solid days now. I can't get any apps to install at all and the play store is stuck on the older version.
Advice?
P.S. Yes, I have a good WiFi connection.

I am having this issue now on Zenfone 2 version 4.168. Somehow, this started happening after my friends wifi went down. When it came back I still couldn't use it effectively. I could not connect to games or google play store. I tried clear cache and data from services and play store one by one but no solution. I booted to recovery and wiped cache from there still no difference. Factory reset was only solution that worked and that was my last resort. I thought the wifi I was on got hacked or ddosed because thats when issues started. So it has happened again after I did the factory reset. I synced my apps from gmail after I reset and it was fine for at least 4 hours till now I can't connect to game of war and when I go to play store and my apps, I get can't connect to play store.

Google Play Services has stopped working

So TIFU by losing my iPhone. And i ****ed up even more by updating my backup spare Galaxy Nexus from 4.1 to 5.1 directly without clearing data or doing any background study. Simply went to update and there the plight started. I was connected to Wifi but my Play Store wasnt working. Was saying no network or something on those lines with the "Retry" button. So i thought uninstalling Playstore and reinstalling would be a good idea. NOT. It wasnt even close to the right step, now everything is crashing and I dont know what I should be doing next. If someone can tell me the best way to get to a new installation of 5.1.1 on this device and root it, it would be great. I right now have CWM recovery 6.3.x(?) installed. I wish to at least be able to install apps from the appstore and update the 2 year old applications. Please help.

Marshmellow 6.0.1 Unable to communicate with Google servers

Hi,
I'm fairly new to the Android rooting community, that said I have been jailbroken on iOS since the days of 1.1.2 and have rooting experience with KitKat. I have a Nexus 5X and after rooting, the phone worked fine. I installed TWRP 3.0.2 and Xposed framework, but for some reason I was unable to get Xposed to work. After a week of no issues with the phone, the Play Store stopped working, and Hangouts failed to send messages. I could send SMS via Messenger app and would receive the replies in Hangouts. I did a factory reset, and now I am unable to do anything. I cannot login to my google account, use the play store. Whenever I do anything I get a message that says:
Couldn't sign in
There was a problem communicating with the google servers.
Try again later.
I've searched the web and the forums for issues like this and can't find anything. I would really appreciate the help. It may be a simple mistake that I made as I am not fully aware of how the Android filesystem works.
Also when I check for updates, it stays that the last time it checked was: 12/31/1969. My clock is set correctly and I am connected to Wifi.

Wow!!! What ROM and gapps are you running?
I haven't seen this since my LG G2 a couple years ago. Hop in date and time in your settings and turn off automatic date and time and manually add it... Unless you're saying its right there.
I would try going to TWRP and wiping.
Wipe/advanced and then check every box except for internal storage. Then hit home and go back to install, choose ROM then gapps then vendor.
Xposed has to be installed as a zip from recovery before you can install/use the apk (in 6.0.1 anyway-use arm64).

Unfortunately I can't use data either since I am unable to activate my project Fi service (since I am not able to make any data connection).
I've resolved this by wiping and installing PureNexus. No idea what was going on with the factory ROM though.

Any chance you changed your Google account password around the time you reset the phone? I think there is some lockout mechanism if they detect password change then factory reset. I believe it is something like 72hour hold.
