Dont worry... Its a bug... From your carrier signal , it appears that you are currently roaming. Play store updates are not getting downloaded over mobile data when roaming.. I experienced the same issue... It will work fine over wifi or if you get back to your proper circle ... Hopefully a fix is on the way

Hey thanks for replying....... But is this normal...... Phone being wake all night..... Even after screen off and almost all essential apps greenified..... And play services not updating......
Thanks in advance.....

What the heck did you do? Are you unlocked or rooted? If you know what you are doing then start all over and stop messing with stuff until it's stable. And no, it's not normal.

I am not rooted.....and have updated apps through wifi but the thing is am not able to update apps using mobile network......i think it's a software bug and may be they will fix it in next patch.....

No, there is no software bug in the OS. You need to stop whatever apps you have running or reset the device and start over.

The battery should improve in a day or so after google play services finish synchronising, just give it one to two days

The Play Store doesn't work anymore.

Long story short: since yesterday I have been unable to update any installed apps, or install new ones. When I try to do so, the app shows in-store as "downloading" but nothing actually happens and it's stuck at this stage forever. Stopping and restarting the service doesn't fix this, nor does completely powering off and on. Internet through the browser works as usual, as do all internet-enabled apps. I haven't installed or removed any software recently - the only change I did in the past 2 days is flash a new CWM recovery (went from 6.0.1.0 to 6.0.1.9) but I don't see what this has to do with the store.
I had this happen to me. If you go into settings > apps and clear data from Google Play Store, that fixed for me.

What rom are you using?
Stock. However I'm still on 4.1.2 - I blocked OTA updates until the current 4.2/4.2.1 bugs are fixed.
It's a long shot, but you can try to install the latest Gapps package from recovery. Or remove and re-add your Google account.
Would you happen to know where I can find the latest gapps package? Thanks!
(edit) found it http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip
Edit2) Oops the 11/30 gapps don't work with 4.1.x anymore, will try 10/11 instead.
http://goo.im/gapps
Since you're on a 4.1.2 rom, get the one for CyanogenMod 10.0.x
I same issue last night. Downloads were very slow. All stock on latest ROM.

Holy f*! The browser works, however downloading through the browser doesn't. I get "download starting" then nothing happens. Same with Chrome. I quickly checked if I'm not out of storage space - no, I have 8GB free. WTF is going on?
I figured it out. last week I was trying to solve my battery drain problems (can't find the thread anymore) and I ended up disabling the media storage service. That apparently disabled any app from downloading anything. I have re-enabled it and now can download. The store works, browsers work etc. I just hope that the battery hogging doesn't happen again.
When I have play store issues I just sign out of Google talk and sign back in and it fixes my problems .. also close the market after..

Doesn't matter if you use Google talk or not... For some weird reason the play store uses Google talk some how it may be to authenticate

If you can't download at all, a good method can be to clear data from "Google Framework Services" , delete google Account, reboot, recreate your Google Account.
I had the same problem. Enable download manager fixed it for me. After I did that all the apps I had tried to install started downloading and play store stayed open and did not force close.
Settings>apps>all>download manager

[Q] Maps using too much battery [SOLVED]

Hello,
I have a question about google maps on I9505. Maps app is using too much battery although I have not turned them on. I have disabled google now and turned of Location reporting in google maps... As you can see in pictures, maps have used 13% of my battery, and stay awake time is 1 h 23 minutes :/ It is really too much because I do not use them. I have sent a question to Samsung Croatia about this but I didn`t get an answer
Does anyone else experience this problem?
EDIT: I have tried to disable the app using Application Manager and then Android OS asked me if I want to uninstall the updates... You can not disable the app but when I uninstalled the updates (Latest update was 14.05.2013.) maps stopped using the battery or at least it does not show on battery usage statistics Will try that for a few days and report back if that is working
EDIT 28.05.2013.
Now I know that the problem is in the new version of google maps. After uninstalling upades everything works perfectly and battery lasts much longer!

I do not want to force close it. That is not the way you should handle android apps. Force closing doesn`t do anything good...

Now I am relieved I thought it was only my phone I do not want to delete it because I use them often, and it is a real pain when you want to download them again because mobile connectivity sucks in most parts of Croatia

Just stop it before you clear cache and data.
Then run Google maps again and see if it makes a difference
BTW When I uninstall apps I always do in this way in order to avoid any leftover data/cache ...

I am strongly againts force closing apps but I will try it forced closed it, cleared cache and data and checked stay awake time for now it is 13 minutes i 20 secondes Will check in 10 minutes and see if that helps
Thrust me, when you delete an app nothing remains The only thing that can remain is the data that app has stored on your external partition but that does not affect OS performance.

The problem remains :/ After 10 minutes (I did not touch the phones), maps app was working 1 minute and 24 seconds in background I really do not know what that app is doing in background!! I will try to disable it now, and see what hapens

Already turned off Google Now at the beginning......

just got another update B575

This morning after I woke up I got a warning an update was available. I was on B573 before. Updated but have no idea what the changelog is. If anybody can help, please see attached screeenshot.
Mate 8 AL10
Had you had Google Play store authentication issues for apps you had never installed prior but wanted to try on 573? This seems to be an issue many of us are having with 7.0 on Mate 8 so far.....curious if its fixed by 575 somehow....even though doubting its a priority on Chinese AL10.

No issues before none now.
OK...yeah...I have a feeling a full reset without restoring apps and data would fix the issue...but I didn't want to have go through the whole google the phone and reinstall everything routine. I did have to reset to get to nougat....but just restored apps and data with hisuite.
Looks like it's some optimization changes. I haven't received it yet on my B573, hopefully soon. Battery life seems quite bad right now. Looking through the forums with google translate, people seem to like it so far. One person mentioned wifi was a lot better, which is great as it got really choppy from 562 to 573.
Google translate of the changelog:
[optimization]
to optimize system performance and stability, make your phone run more smoothly, stable and optimized power consumption of mobile phone performance, extended battery life
optimization parameters holster screen brightness so that the brightness of the display screen more comfort
[repair]
repair Taobao application text input dialog occlusion problems
fix problems call recording can not add the specified contact
repaired HuaweiShare open WLAN download rate reduction problem
fixes some scenes outgoing calls can not be a problem

Mine works most of the time, but I find that when you try to download something that prompts you to download wifi it gives the error. Can you try installing an app like Dawn of Titans or Drift Legends? Those are two that gave me the error whereas I could install many other apps no problem. You don't have download the whole thing. If the download starts then it's working for you. It usually gives the error right after you click Install in the play store.

EMUI never played well with Google services anyway.
My Android Wear would disconnect all the time.
What I have noticed with this whole Google playstore authentication issue is, wait a couple of hours, attempt to redownload the app and it'll download.
It's not a big deal. I wish my Google contacts' photos would sync and all, but meh.
What I am hoping for is the stable version will resolve all these Google issues.

Same for me....must not be that.
Have found if I install an app on the desktop play store website..it immediately acts like it has sent it to phone....and eventually after much time it either finally downloads and installs or allows you to do it from the playstore app. But if its an app you have never tried prior you basically HAVE to goto the desktop play store and send to phone to get it to eventually work. Once its been used once you can uninstall and reinstall like normal from playstore app later without the authentication issues. If its an app you have used prior...just not recent or even ever on the Mate 8 they will work like normal....this is only issue with app you have never touched EVER from the playstore.
me too I got a warning new update( B575) was available. I was on B573 before
i will download it and try i hope it solve my big issue regarding the google authentication
( which can not be solved neither by factory reset nor by delete account and clear cash or clear data or even uninstall and re install google play store or any google apps !)

Weird, I've never has such problems.
I got the update for B575 and tried to download a few apps and it didn't seem to have the auth problem..Not sure what changed. Can anyone give me an example of an app they couldn't install? I want to test it more..
The Google issue only happens when I want to install an app I've never installed before.
Using Android device locator, Google is unable to locate my device. My find 7 and Nexus 7 is fine.
Definitely a emui nougat issue.

"Google Play Store has stopped"

Hi all,
Sorry if this isn't the right forum to post. My essential phone seems to stop working whenever I try to scroll through the Play Store > Under Games. It's the only category that seems to do this and I'm not entirely sure as to why?
My phone is using stock android 8.1.0. I'd appreciate any help on this, I've only experienced that typically once or twice on Custom ROM's but never on a stock android without any modifications.
Thanks!

Massive battery drain by Google Play Services

Hey guys,
I'm really running out of ideas. My phone is losing so much energy by the Google Play Services every day!
I have tried so many things like cache cleaning or uninstalling apps which may affect the Play Service app but I can't uninstall all of my apps. I also tried a factory reset and NOT using Smart switch.
Is there any way to figure out what causes the battery drain?
Look at the Screenshot. Its always more than 30% every day.
Thanks for any idea - skrippi
Reflash the firmware again
Stop talking nonsense. Google play services drain is always present, but after that one update year ago it is annoying.

Google play services had the same issue a few months ago, a fix was to sign-up or install the latest Beta version.

Maybe try uninstalling updates, power down, then do a recovery cache clean, after rebooting install the latest play services or beta play services.
Nothing will help. Deal with it.
