Is there a way to permanently disable automatic updates to Google Play Store application? The Stock ICS ROM with the latest version of Google Play gives me problems and if I uninstall the updates to the stock version problems are solved. However, next time I start Google Play, it self updates itself again to the latest version and I have the same problem. On previous Android versions like Gingerbread, all needed was just to delete the MarketUpdater.apk, and problem solved.. but with ICS & JP that file doesnt exist anymore. I have no idea what forces the Google Play (Phonesky.apk) to keep updating itself. Thanks for the advice!!!!!
Go to Google play and then settings you can turn off auto updates.

That turns off auto updates for the installed apps, not the Google Play app that still gets updated

I have another question... Srry
Ever since I am using cm 5+ I am having problems with the google apps updating. I know I have to install the google addon with every cm update but I can never update the google apps after that. Is that normal? It always says update unsuccessful...
Other apps also seem to have troubles updating, but that could be for different reasons.
So once more is it normal for eg gmail not to update?

This has been asked a lot. Delete the apk from /system/app , reboot, install from market.

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?

Was hoping I wouldn't have to do that thanks though.
Hello,
I just upgraded to stock JB using heimdall, I got the ROM that matches with my CSC code (which is XSG) from samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7000 , which is that ROM
It seems that the flashing was successful. Yet after I booted some apps always crash:
Google Play
S Note (that's important since there are notes that I have done using this app that I need to access)
Learning Hub
Whenever I boot the phone I get the error message that "Google Play have stopped". Any help ?

I managed to fix Google Play issue by uninstalling updates to Google Play from the settings->applications

Go to apps settings and uninstall Google playstore and Google play services than reboot.
Open playstore and wait maybe 5 minutes till it update itself.
Go back to apps settings to check if they are updated.

You can go back to 350 by flashing a firmware with flashtool,look in development section for an ftf file for your region.

It happen only four chrome where I can't download ANYTHING even pictures.
I used to have similar issue where play store downloads is starts but do not make any progress at all. What caused this problem was my bad internet connection in the house, I didn't have it in the office.
I suggest trying different connection.
Also try clearing play store data, updates and cache.
If non help, download play store apk from internet and manually install it.
Last shot, go to play store website using your pc not Phone and sign in with the same Google account in your XZ, then browser the play store and install any app from the pc. It will all you in which device you want top install it. Select XZ
So as soon as your XZ connect to any internet connection, the download of that app will start automatically.
Hope one of these things could help

Fix for chrome
Go to setting> app>> all app
Then locate download manager and delete the data and cache.
If it don't fix chrome, disable it completely.

umm did you install it as a normal apk?... I think it is your problem, so using Root explorer or whatever you want put phonesky.apk (googleplay.apk) in system/app/ and set the correct permissions and reboot
Do not uninstall the stock play store app provided in any rom. If you wanna update it, just install the latest apk as an update to the existing older version. If you remove the older version using titanium backup, root explorer, etc., you are bound to get force closes. Donno why. Uninstall the existing play store. Try to flash the latest gapps and then install the latest play store. If that doesn't help, reflash the rom.
