Strange Netflix Playstore Update - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Just got my 9T Pro, everything seems to be fine, all working well and have received a couple of system updates since I received it. There is one strange thing with Netflix. If I go into PlayStore and check for updates it indicates that there is an update for Netflix but it's only 2.9 MB large. If I click on the update it seems to download something but nothing installs and it goes back to indicating there is a Netflix update. If I close out completely from PlayStore and go back in, the first time I check for updates it says there are none. If I refresh, then the 2.9MB update appears again. I've also done a delete and re-install but no effect, problem comes back.
The version of Netflix that is installed is Version 7.40.0 build 20 34657. In addition, it seems to work fine.
It's not a big deal, cause Netflix works but I've never seen this behaviour before.
Any ideas or thoughts?

The problem with NetFlix went away, all was fine for a few weeks and now I get a 77kb download for Instagram that never installs. Just keeps failing. Any ideas as to how to fix this? I've restarted but nothing.

It is a Play Store bug that causes to loop some apps' updates. Try cleaning app cache but it will go away after few weeks.

[solved] Xperia TL random YouTube reboots

Hello all, just upgraded my Samsung Captivate (great phone for hacking, rooting!) for this phone.
Last night I was watching a lot of YouTube videos on wifi and the phone would randomly reboot.
Settings and cures:
Disabled all of the ATT apps. I was using their wifi management tool, but disabled it after I thought it was causing the reboots. I was able to watch four or five videos in a row, then the reboots started again.
Had Amazon Appstore installed and PSM store. Uninstalled PSM and it did not stop the reboots.
Tried resetting settings, it did not stop the reboots.
Factory Data Reset (which is what the ATT store would have me do if I called them)
It appears to have fixed the reboots, but it's also using a YouTube version at least 1 or 2 versions old. I'm wondering if that's the problem. I did try to uninstall the update last night, but I didn't reboot the phone. I think it was still using the new version of YouTube.
I'd like to know if anyone else has had this problem with the Xperia TL (I found some that have, but no resolution beyond using tubemate??)
I'm going to update my youtube app tonight I'll let you know if the reboots return. I watched a dozen or more videos on the old version this morning and it was rock solid even with stream loss.
So after updating YouTube to the latest version and re-install the Amazon appstore it's still humming along fine. I viewed probably 20 - 30 videos in a row last night with no random reboots.
That leaves disabling the ATT apps.
EDIT:
Disabled the same ATT apps I had disabled before and still no random reboots... Chalk it up to something screwy on the original configuration. It seems to be all fixed.

Google Play store and Youtube latency issues..

So after setting up my One on Wednesday when it arrived in the mail I had issues with Google store being EXTREMELY slow when downloading/updating apps. It took me half hour to DL an app that was under 4mb. I thought at first that it was my dual band N router so I did the steps of troubleshooting that and rebooting it but still had the same issues.
After nothing seemed to work I did a hard reset as I had skipped through most of the setup prompts while on the phone with CS activating the phone. I think that after the hard reset it was doing the same thing for a few minutes but then seemed to kick in and it was blazing fast to DL and install the apps. Youtube was also giving me issues before where it just wouldn't play anything or would play the first video but if I tried to play another one it would just hang. This also fixed itself and all was good after that.
Well last night I rooted and installed VIPER and did a wipe before turning it on. And again the latency came back. Since it seemed to flash on top of the stock ROM I had cleared everything but the folders on the phone's memory. The latency was still there and it again only seemed to affect Youtube and the Play store. I had given up after clearing the cache on both apps and went to bed around 1am. Just for the heck of it I tried to download another app and this time it blazed through again and all seems to be working again. It seems like it fixed itself after a few hours from my last wipe.
Has anybody else experienced this? I'm going to keep putting it through its paces to see if it comes back again. I'm hoping that it was just some issue with the updating of the Play store or the phone configuring itself fully at some point, don't know. At first I thought it was something with the antennae but I noticed that the internet and other apps worked fine and fast. It just seemed to affect the Play store and Youtube.
Does anyone know if both were having issues recently? I doubt it since like I said, this issue seemed to happen both times on initial setup.
Having the same issue even when connected to WiFi. Have you found a fix yet?

GPS Issues - unable to locate

I'm very recently (1 week or 2 max) facing issues with GPS/Geolocation on my Nexus 6. Any app requiring location, GMaps, Uber, what-have-you, does not detect my current location. GMaps shows a toast, Waiting for location. Other apps error out or keep waiting.
I can't be sure but the issue definitely started sometime around the time after I installed the Feb updates.
Now some weird observations :
1. All of a sudden, one in maybe 20 times, it stays working.
2. Again, all of a sudden, it promotes to recalibrate the compass and it starts working.
3. It stops working again after subsequently relaunching GMaps.
4. Works in Safe Mode! But I Uninstalled most of recently installed apps (I don't have a lot) yet doesn't work, so not sure if it's a 3rd party app causing this.
5. Installed some so-called GPS Fixing apps, they themselves are stuck at locating.
Anybody else ?
Anything to try?
Yes I'll do a factory reset or service replacement if nothing works so please avoid such suggestions.
I was having the same issues after Feb. Update phone locking up and freezing randomly unable to get geolocation on battery saving. I redownloaded the newest from Google and reflashed system image and radiio and bam performance back along with location.
Long story shkrt, probably a bad download

Thanks.
Bad download over OTA?
"reflashed system image and radiio"
I don't have a working system image backed up.
And reflashed radio? I didn't get that part...

Youtube and Netflix will not launch

After the last system update happened (Verizon) I have had trouble with Youtube and Netflix. I'll try to launch them but it doesn't get past the launch screen on either. I have to restart my Note and then they will launch properly. Just this morning I went to launch Netflix and it would not launch so I restarted and it launched fine. A few minutes later I went to launch Youtube and it wouldn't launch so I had to restart AGAIN. It is getting very frustrating. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both and they will launch fine for a day or so. I have had no problems until now. Any ideas?
Very odd, but, I have one of this no brand android tv boxes, worked fine for a while, but 5 months ago it will not launch netflix, something about netflix not working in non certified devices, from day one it would not launch claro video because it detected root, do not know if anything of these is aplicable to your case

Regular youtube sucks. Use OGyoutube. Try older version youtube apk. I always had issues with play store Netflix in past phones. Stuck to apk and never have issues.

Question Spotify is acting odd

This might be the app itself but I didn't have any issue on my S20. Since I updated the phone it randomly cuts out. Any ideas? Never on WiFi though...

Is it when the screen is off? Check it's not been put to sleep in battery settings
it seems that latest ROM updates (I think I have this on all AUB* ones) is weirdly strict on background activities and cuts every one of them. my whole device acts strangely - apps not showing notification or showing them late (hours later than they were supposed to show), my apps are not updating: I have to repeatedly FC play store, then clear its cache so that currently installing app changes state from downloading to installing, than do it again to change state fomr installing to installed etc. worked fine on AUA* ones. it is really annoying. btw I tried to clear cache and dalvik/art cache from recovery, but that did not help. I have not tried factory seset yet...
It seems that it was data corruption during regular OTA. Factory reset seems to fix problems for me.
I'll try a reset.. thankyou
Let's be honest, the Spotify app has issues too begin with. On my S21 and Pixel 4 it can be playing songs to my earbuds then suddenly stop running in the background on its own! Unlock the phone and itis still open in the foreground.
Perhaps it's time for a new music app if this is a known Spotify issue... But if it's not a Spotify issue, then check in your battery settings (as others have mentioned) to see if your phone automatically started putting it into "Sleep Mode".
