[Q] Google Play Store issues, not updating or downloading from web

Hey all.
i recnetly flashed @hashcode's unofficial CM10 found here. I didn't like it enough to keep it, so i switched back to stock ICS using Safestrap v3.05. I go into the Play store today from my desktop to download something, and the item never pushes to my device. after checking my Play Store settings, i see that instead of "Verizon Motorola Droid Bionic" (or whatever), my device is listed as "Unnamed Device" instead of "Phil's Bionic" and the device type is "Verizon Motorola XT875."
Additionally, i check the play store on my phone, and i had several updates. i click to update them, but they just sit in the "downloading" section, but not actually downloading. I'm not sure where to go from here. i hope i haven't borked too much and have to restore from a backup, or if i have to "unlink" my account with google. i'm not even sure how i would go about doing that. Any advice?

Go into mange apps, find Google services framework and clear data, then find play store and clear data, reboot and try again. That has fixed my downloading issue in the past.

do you know if this will fix the issue with pushing downloads from the desktop?

How to avoid play store update for an app

Hi
The latest google search crash on my rom, so I don't want to update it from play store, but I don't know how to disable the update for the apps that I want. I tried to detach from market with titanium but still wants to update it.
any idea?

if you go to Google Play, select the app, there is check box that can disable automatically updating. You'll still get a push notification of the update, but you can clear it and won't show up till a reboot.
There is setting within Google Play to change autoupdate for all apps too.

No, that's not that I wanted to ask.
I have auto-updates disabled, but when I go to "my apps", play store shows all my apps that needs to be updated, if I click the update button, all of them starts the update, I want to play store don't show that app so it will never update.
Right now I need to update all of them, then look to search and then cancel that one.

Its just like he said on the new play store auto update is under options on the particular app screen if you uncheck that that app wont update on you..i know dor a fact because i have a few apps set that way...wallet in particular because the new play store auto set everything to auto update and screwed mtly wallet up for a bit and i had to find the auto uodate option.

I don't know of any other way. You may want to try to side load the application. I know the apps I side load, which are not available in the US, don't update the usual way. Some I was to get when you could still use MarketEnable and other similar apps. This has been my experience with NFL Game Pass, BBC iPlayer, etc. They don't show up having an update. I have to go to all apps in the my application list, and manually check all app, and manually update those apps that show an update is available.
I'm not saying it'll work. It's just might do what you're seeking.
Also, TB did an update and had something about delinking. You may want to give it another try.
Personally, I had a few apps I didn't want to update. I would either update the apps I wanted one by one. Otherwise, when I hit update all, I would just hit the one I didn't, and hit stop update. Hopefully, the app wasn't the first to be updated.

Phone got a whole lot of HTC Updates this morning from the google play store

HTC Dot View App
HTC Gallery App
HTC Guide App
HTC Sense TV App
HTC Service Pack
ZOE

Odd.. I notice these having updates, but they don't get listed in with the available updates in the "My apps" section in Google Play.
If you go to the apps individually in Google Play though, it shows an "update" button (clicking the other apps by this developer link is helpful in finding the others BTW).
This sounds familiar for some system apps, but not others (many Google apps auto-updated when I first activated the phone, even before I could get to the UI to turn off auto-updating). Anyone found a way to actually find -all- apps that have updates?

Oh man I hate the autoupdating, I always turn that off, I like to be in control of that. I don't know why that setting doesnt save when you get a new phone or wipe your device.

The updates may be rolling out in phases. I recipes those updates yesterday afternoon while I was setting g the phone up for the first time.

Restart your phone and you'll get them

[Q] App Updates All Missing

XT1097 - AT&T Version. When I go to My Apps in Play Store it only shows an update for an app if I've previously downloaded that app manually. Otherwise I have to search out the app, but when I find it it does show an update available in both the search list and when I click on the app. Example, I had not previously downloaded Hangouts and so it did not show under the update available section or all section under my apps, but when I search "Hangouts" it shows update instead of free in search list, and update and open as options when I click on it.
Finding this weird, I reset the phone and logged into another google account where I had never downloaded any android apps.... and the phone showed exactly zero updates available. Same thing happens whether I check immediately on reset phone (before new version of play store is installed) and after play store has been updated.
I ended up just manually searching through all apps by name, and then every google made and motorola made apps and it found 40 total updates (up from 13 from my first account, and zero with my second account)
Any idea whats going on here? Shouldn't all apps that have updates available show under my apps whether I have ever manually downloaded them or not?

So let me reduce my question then: if an android phone comes pre installed with an app that your google account has never downloaded, should the phone show an update for that app under my apps without manually searching?

Yes, it should... BUT... It seems that all of moto's apps are strangely exempt from that rule.

Any way to block Google play services update?

I'm rooted, just wondering how to do this.

Go into the Playstore and on the left side there is a menu. Turn off all updates for everything.
The next question you will have is how do I do updates on software that I need to update? The answer is, you go to APKPure and find the same software there in an APK. They have all of the old versions as well. Pick one before March 2019 if you can. That way you always have a copy of your distribution software also in case you ever do a reset. The problem is with Pay-For software. APKPure does not have that.
You also have to turn off their security updates in settings. I went through this on my Note 9. I have a thread here somewhere and it's included in it. It is to prevent upgrades from Oreo to preserve call recording.
