Google Play after Pie - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me. One week ago I upgraded to Pie on my Galaxy Note9 (Verizon). Ever since, I've been having a problem updating apps in Google Play. Most of apps get stuck on Download Pending. A few go through just fine, but most don't. When I turn off my NordVPN, every update goes through without a problem. I never had this problem on Oreo, and I don't want to have to turn off VPN every time I update.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any suggestions or solutions?
Thank you.

Try clearing cache and data on the google play app or maybe loadvpn has a glitch with android pie and u could report it. Also try wiping cache on phone by going into stock recovery.

Hi. This seems to have worked. Thank you very much.
First I cleared cache in Settings > Device Care > Storage, and Memory
Then I went to Settings > Apps and cleared out cache in Google Play
I don't know about clearing cache in stock recovery, is that a better way of doing it?
Thanks again

Well if wiping data and cache helped no need to wipe cache on stock recovery. What wipe cache does is help phone perform better sometimes. But it doesnt delete anything. U could do it. All u gotta do is power off phone then hold volume up and bixby button and press power button also and it should take u to stock recovery then use volumes(up or down) to highlight wipe cache then highlight yes and wipe it them reboot and it should perform better.

[q] Endless restart loop

I've had my sgs for almost 1 year , and except for rooting it i didnt rly fiddle with it .
On new years eve night i noticed my phone was closed, and when i tried to open it , it started going in this endless restart loop where it would show me the Galaxy S gt-i9000 start up screen and then restart.I pulled out the battery and the problem got fixed, but now it's happening again and it seems i cant fix it.
I read on the forums that this might indicate an internal sd card failure, and if thats the case is there any way of getting my data back?
Power the phone down then push the on button.
Then hold down the home key, the on key, and the left key in the down position and it will give you a fresh boot and upload the original settings.......
You will lose all your pics and numbers etc so I hope you have it backed up..

that will get you in the download mode...
If you are indeed rooted a last resort can be downloading the 2.3.5 stock rom from Sam mobile.. Put your phone into download mode as that guy said, there are lots of tutorials about this online then use odin to flash. As I say this is a last resort if nothing else works.

Use 3 button combo to recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. You will see them from the menu. You will not going to lose your personal data. You will just have to install the apps again.
At first don't make factory reset. Try first to wipe Cache, dalvik Cache and fix permissions (all from the recovery). If it doesn't help try flash new Rom (no wipe) or make factory reset. If this don't help either try flashing a 3 file Rom with pit and repartition.

Doing a factory reset won't wipe your pics and all.. it'll just wipe the 2GB partition that is used for rom and apps.. your pics are stored on the separate 6GB/14GB partition and that is not affected when you do a factory reset.. all your contacts, messages and applications etc will be wiped though..

If you have gone into recovery and cleared cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions, then the only option available now is to factory reset in recovery. You will NOT lose any pictures or music on your sd card. You will however, lose your installed apps, their data, your phone numbers and messages. Hopefully you have your numbers backed up with google or at least stored on your sim.
If this doesn't work, you will need to flash a new rom with odin. It's a 5 minute job once you've downloaded everything required.

Did as you said and its still not working, because i still have my waranty il take it to the " pros" instead of flasing a new rom.
Only way is to flash a fresh stock rom via Odin since factory reset wouldn't work for you.

Mate, all they will do (all they CAN do) is flash a new rom........ But, whatever - it's your phone and time.

[Q] everything keeps closing.

Hi
im on custom jvu 2.3.6 and everything keeps closing
the dialer and messages especially
There is no force close at all.
It started about two weeks after i flashed it. It gradually gets worse and worse sometimes they stay open sometime not.
I re flashed and the problem went away but came back.
Anyone any ideas how to fix this.
How can i back my phone up so I've got all my messages and numbers.
Kies does not find the phone but oden does
thanks
I advice you to wipe cache and dalvik cache via recovery or delete data of the applications that cannot working fine via "Settings"
I've wiped cache and delvik that didn't work. Ill try delete data
Can't find the option to wipe data from each app
its mainly message and call app that's the problem
Go to "Settings">"Applications">"All"

You could try titanium backup or rom toolbox, long press the app and you will get a menu to clear whatever, but in titanium select the app, clear data,
Fixing the permissions via cwm might help also

[Q] Slow and empty results with app search

Hi all,
I have the Note(1) with stock Vodafone (AU) ICS 4.0.4.
With the search function from the home or launcher screen (press and hold the menu button), as soon as I type the first letter, the search progress animation starts to appear and spin, however very often this takes like 5-10 seconds, before the animation stops, and it shows no results (even though there should be).
If I then clear the search and start typing again, it will show me correct results.
I only have "Apps" checked for the "Searchable items" in the search settings.
Is this a known ICS bug? Has anyone got this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks!
Haven't heard of this issue before and don't have it myself.
You could try clearing the cache and data of the search bar in manage applications, then reboot, wipe dalvik cache and cache if you're on a safe kernel, then reboot, see if that clears it.

Thanks. The problem comes and goes. I have tried clearing the data of Google Search but the issue still comes back.
My device isn't rooted so I cannot clear the dalvik cache right?

Yes that's right, you can just clear cache in recovery.

[Q] How do I "Clear Cache" (Stock Recovery)

Hi all
Just unpacked my shiny new HTC One which is still on its initial charge fresh out the box. Im going to be updating it to 422, but my question is..
Like you do with Samsung Updates, after youve installed all the updates, is it a good idea to Boot into Stock recovery > Data/Factory Reset > Clear Cache > Reboot, or can I just "Factory Reset" in Settings.
You need to do this with Samsung devices because they are so full of Bloated crap all running in the background, that a clear cache is needed after a Rom update.. so is it the same. (This is why Ive switched to HTC and jumped the S4 altogether)
How do I get into Stock Recovery to reset/clear cache
Thanks

you can't clear cache with stock recovery, you'd have to flash a custom recovery a factory reset should do it, but it'll remove all your personal installed apps too!

Thanks for the speedy reply . I used to own a One X (so awesome, but it failed ) and you could enter Stock recovery on that and reset. However, Ive just read that if you enter the Ones boot loader (Power + Volume down).. then you can do a hard "factory reset" from the menu, ill just use that
Heres the YouTube link in case anyone else was curious:

Does Hard Reset not remove everything.. Pics, music, settings, .. all of it.. hence the reason why this setting is in the Bootloader itself.

Samsung Keyboard crash

I love my new Note 4, but I experience twice in the last week of this new phone that is says: Samsung Keyboard has stopped working and then the keyboard would be stuck at the bottom of the screen. After trying to fix it for a few seconds, it would reboot itself. Anyone else has this problem? Solutions?
Try clearing the cache maybe that will help.
im also having the same exact problem after updating to lollipop. I've wiped cache in boot and all it did was cause one of my chargers to not fast charge anymore. but my keyboard is still crashing atleast 5 times a day. this happens whenever I long press and letter for a symbol, it doesnt matter what app im in, if i try to type a symbol through shortcut by long pressing a letter, 4 out of 5 times my keyboard will crash. I've been trying to find the solution to this but no luck.

I bet that all three of you did not do a full and complete wipe including factory reset
before you odin flashed the new lollipop COD6 firmware.
If that was the case then go into twrp recovery and do a full wipe including factory reset
but don't reboot the phone, navigate twrp to the "download mode" option and click that
and then get odin ready and re-flash the phone with the lollipop firmware.
A full wipe always includes system,data,cache,dalvik cache and last but not least factory reset.
Be sure to do a nandroid backup in twrp before flashing anything.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I just checked my baseband. It is COD6 and I did do wipe cache when I update it from 4.4 to 5.0.1. If the random reboot show up again, I'll do factory reset + full wipe
