[Q] System won't check for updates! Please help!! - Nexus 7 General

My Nexus 7 will not check for system updates. I hit the check update but nothing happens. I did force the 4.1.2 update somehow by stopping one or 2 services. I am not rooted and I am stock.
Please help as I want to be able to update to stock 4.2
Also I know nothing happens when I hit the update button because the date doesn't change.

You can try this out:
Go into apps section
Then choose Google service framework
Then force stop it
Clear data
Clear cache
Do this a few time
And hopefully when u go into update after a few tries u all find the 4.2 update.......... It worked for me!

I also tapped on kernel or build a bunch of times under settings, about tablet. It then asked to upgrade.

Tried this but it didn't work

The date stays at 12/31/1969
It looks like it's not checking for updates.

Never mind my WiFi was turned off due to Sandy and was the only thing that didn't turn back on.

Supposedly the new update to the market (pushed out today) creates this problem. I personally froze the market updater because I don't like the new layout of the my apps section, and the missing apps.
The new Play sucks
Any solutions for this problem ?
Just keep reporting it to Google and hope they get the message.
Mine has just update itself and is now showing my Apps.

It seems to me they didn’t make any significant changes to the Play Store and looks more like a bug-fixer and small-changes-made kind of update.
not having any official change log from Google's side. So I would say just enjoy the new apk.
get the latest google play store apk 3.8.15
The Play Store updates it self, doesn't it ?
So why creating links ?

which ROM you are running....
When I flashed Cm10 jelly time I have those 3 dots and when I flashed AKOP jelly time I dont have those 3 dots.
they are just the replacement of the MENU button at the bottom.

You need gapps for it to work. This is also an old version, now on 3.10.10. Why don't you want gapps? It only installs Google services, you can uninstall any unwanted Google apps....

[Q] Google Play, accounts and time

My Ace is running CM10.1 by Wayland_ACE. I hadn't encountered any issues and I don't think this is ROM related.
Anyway, recently my Google Account randomly removed itself from my device, I readded it and now when I go into Google Play and try to download an application I immediately receive a sever error and cannot download anything. I cleared Google Play's data and uninstalled the updates and cleared Google Play Services' data and rebooted as recommended in another thread. Didn't fix anything.
Then I noticed that the time was off by two minutes, was always correct before. I have the auto-obtain network time and manually selected the timezone (EST).
I fixed the time but Google Play still isn't working properly. It also isn't autoupdating to the latest version which is strange. As far as I am aware it should do that.
Does anyone know how to fix Google Play? (and no, I don't want to use another app store like 1mobile or Aptoide...)
I'll try to update this post with the exact error but it might be awhile. My Ace is freaking out right now with random reboots.
Not certain what happened but now my Ace has become really unstable. Its rebooting after every few minutes.

Its working now... I wiped cache and dalvik cache. Play Store still won't update back to 3.10.1 though. Any ideas for how I can force it to update?

No update available through the OTA. Don't have a pc available.
Dunno what happened I use to be able install apks, phone crashed so I factory reset and now I can't install the apps...

Oh otherwise I would have sent u an update to 4.2.2 but u would need an pc. Anyway seems strange. What exactly happens when u try to install an apk? Try taking the sd card out. Try downloading the apk u wanna install on to the phone without the sd card. Then try installing it. Let me know if that works.

Using explorer I go to the file, tap on it package installer comes up, tap install, installer opens with app details and permissions, try to tap install but the button doesn't highlight it's been pressed, nothing happens. Cancel button works fine

Could be an application you already installed is doing this.
Remove the apps one by one and try again.

If you have a screen related app like screen filter or voodoo colour filter, uninstall it.

Clear data for the Media Storage app:
Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All
Scroll down to Media Storage
Select clear data
Try and install your apk.
If it still doesn't work, do the same for Package Installer.

Ok cleared data for Media Storage, no effect.
Cleared data for Package Installer, no effect.
Cleared data for a bunch of other apps with no effect other than losing all my ringtones and notification sounds
Unless I can figure out whats stopping the installation of apps from apk's i just might have to factory reset and start again to see which app it is thats causing these issues.
Thanks all for your help so far!
Ok guys thank you to everyone for helping me. I feel so freakin stupid right now... and rightly so.
I realised that "LUX" auto brightness app was the issue. head slap. Didnt even think of it as a screen related app. Another head slap.
I had stupidly deleted all the apps that trigger sleep mode in Lux's settings ... added package installer back to the list and everything works fine now.
Again a huge thank you to you all for helping and a big sorry for my stupidity.

Or clear cache on google play store, somethings got to work. I had the issue where it would update any of my apps after I updated google play. Researched the error and found I had to delete the cache off of some apps, re-add my google account and it started working again. Alot of errors people have, are already reported to google.

A friend of mine couldnt update or install any app. It was only solved by doing a full wipe to the tablet.
