Can't Download over LTE from Play Store - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Not sure what is going on. I cannot download over LTE from the playstore. Just says downloading. Wi-Fi works fine..
I can still browse the web and check email, just not download apps.
I have cleared the cache and data for the playstore app, no luck.
Any ideas?

can you browse to the playstore via web browser on the phone? Wonder what happens if you install that way.?

double check play store settings. It may be set to WiFi only.

Checked that... Still no luck... Just says downloading.. as soon as I switch to WiFi it works fine...
When I try to use the play store via the web on the phone it always launches the play store app.. if I use my laptop and install an app it works fine via the play store.. only when using 4g or lte..
Really annoying...

that's weird. I'd like to know if anyone else if having this issue... I haven't even received shipping yet, so I have no idea.

I am not having this issue. I can turn off Wi-Fi and download over Verizon's LTE from the Play Store app with no problem. I have my Preferred network type set to Global if that helps.

I had another thought, check your APN settings for TMO.
http://apn-settings.com/t-mobile-apn-for-android/

Checked the apn. Finally spoke with tmo. They said it is a play store issue. Google updated on August 15 and broke compatibility with certain phones. Checked my wife Galaxy S7 and her play store won't download offer lte either. Only wifi..
Tmo said Google it s aware and hoping to push a play store update soon. The solution was to use wifi for now..

I've had this issue randomly with every Android I've ever owned. Sometimes removing your Google account and re-adding it helps. But this isn't a new issue and most likely not an issue with the phone. That is why some on here have said it has not been a problem. This is a common issue with any new device you get.

If you can sign into gtalk you can generally sign into the android market. They are somehow tied together.
Android market has some issues, it can't connect for a while will come back up. I been dealing with this the past 2 weeks. It happens intermittently.
If you can access it, but apps don't download try clearing cache and data of the following apps.
Clear Data and Cache from:
Checkin Service
Download Manager
Google Talk Service
Google Talk Storage
Market
Force close market and restart it
I've only noticed market issue after I flash a new rom. The market connects but won't actually "start" downloading. I have found that connecting to wifi somehow prods it into behaving as expected. What I mean is, download something over wifi from the market, disable it and then use 3g. Works for me... /shrugs

[Q] PlayStore not working after ROOT

Hello everyone,
I just unlocked and rooted my Nexus 4 using the Toolkit by mskip and noticed that I cannot download anything from the PlayStore.
At first I though the WIFI was broken, but I can surf the web so it's clearly an issue with the market.
I have then used the Toolkit by Wugfresh to bring the phone back to stock but the problem is still there: I cannot download anything from the market! The phone downloaded and installed the 4.2.1 fine but cannot download any of the 57 apps queued in the market.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
Have you tried clearing data? Are the downloads pending?
Go to Settings/Apps/All and clear data of Download Manager.
Try clearing data of the Play store if that doesn't help.

Thanks for the tip: I cleared the data of both Download Manager and Playstore but it doens't work.
I tried to sign out and back in too. Still no luck.
Unbelievable.
I doubt it has anything to do with root, but install the following gapps and in pretty sure your problem will be resolved.

I had a number of problems with the Play store, keyboard, and camera but after flashing these gapps, all is good.

Upon further investigation and trials, I currently find myself in this situation:
- Playstore works both with WIFI and GSM but can only download content via GSM (no Idea why!!)
- Everything else works fine over WIFI (and GSM).
So for whatever reason PlayStore let me browse the catalogue via WIFI but won't let me download/update anything unless I switch to GSM.

Are your time and date correct?
Sometimes that makes the play store not work

Also, in addition to the apps mention, also clear data for "Google Services Framework"
If that doesn't work try clearing your /cache partition, possibly even /data/dalvik-cache and reboot

Thanks but it didn't work.
I tried EVERYTHING. It doesn't make any sense. Also using the Toolkit I did an OEM LOCK. And it still doens't work.

Yes they are.
It turns out the problem is NOT the phone but something else: even my g/f's GS3 cannot download via WIFI from the PlayStore!!!
Kill me.

reboot your router, i have had this happen on sensation and gnex. it was an issue with my router. pull the plug for 30 seconds and let sync back up
I tried that already earlier but didn't work. Will give it another go.
any update? im stumped too! dam wifi is broken!!! now can't even do anything
I rooted using mskip's toolkit (with busybox but on stock recovery) and also had a wifi issue. I was already on the latest OTA (4.2.1) before doing anything and at that time the wifi was connecting just fine. After rooting, the wifi was not connecting to the same signal as it had been before. When it finally did connect, I was also unable to access the Play Store but could browse the internet just fine. I turned wifi off, restarted the phone, then used mobile data to update the Google system apps. After that, the Play Store was working with wifi connected. Wifi is still having trouble connecting to a "fair" strength signal where before it connected without an issue so unsure on that but Play Store at least is back when the wifi signal is strong. Hope this helps.
Nexus4 want work with my router running wddrt.. .trying to trouble shoot it
It connects strong signal but just want dload apps. Can't do speedtest. I can browse google playstore but won't dload apps atfer 10x cancel it might install app by shear luck.... my wifi works on other routers,places

Google Play Store won't download apps

I have a T-mobile LG V20 and I have been trying to download apps and games and for some reason it only downloads when connected to WiFi, I tried everything, clean cache on app settings, uninstalled google play store and all and still nothing. I am in south america and I was using data with no problems until a couple of days ago that this problem started, I have international unlimited data so data is not the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Same issue for me. I have tried reboot, clearing cache, etc, etc apps will only update or install with wifi
Google play has a settings option to only download via Wi-Fi.
I hate to say this, have you tried booting into recovery and wiping and seeing if re-setting up your device works?
The Setting in Google Play is only for auto updating apps on WiFi. If I manually try to Install or Update an app and I am on mobile data...it just says Downloading forever.
I have not wanted to try and Reset yet.
Anyone find a solution to this? I'm in Sprint and been having this problem for a couple of weeks now.

I had this problem for a while. The only way I could get them to work was over wifi. I ended up doing a factory reset for other reasons, but it works now over LTE after that.

*SOLVED*force update play services breaks data

So, PayPal and android pay finally integrated. And the only way that the integration will show up in either app is to have play services version 11.0.56. *pic below* However, this update is only supposed to be available to certain parts of the US currently I guess as it was just released about a week ago and they want to soft release.
After I did initial research, I found that I could simply download the updated play services and install. Which worked great initially. (everyone without integration capabilities should be on version 10.x.xx)
Got it set up and properly situated, while on WiFi. Kind of ignored the Google play services won't run unless you update(downgrade) it notification. *pic below*
Went to the store to realize I have no data capability on my phone. Tried just about everything so far besides downgrade because I want the integration.
So to my question vvvvv
*Does anyone know if Google play services/framework is capable of blocking all data traffic? *
Because it still shows I have great data connection(as I use the tmobile lte booster and always have good in home data. Testes with another phone to make sure booster isn't messed up) , but any app I try to use that is connected to Google play, does not have a connection. But everything works perfectly over WiFi
UPDATE: Went to remove my Google account to add it again. Upon removing Google account, sim status shows absolutely no service now
Also, I am on Tmobile
-pulled sim out and back and showing service again. But still not able to access any app connected to play store
Double Update-
**Solved**
For some reason it stopped dns capabilities of ipv6. Which is weird given the apn has been running ipv6 stock in the apn from tmobile... So i switched to my apn which is ipv6/ipv4.
Just still not sure what happened there to make that issue

Redmi A1. Unable to download/update apps from Google Play Store using WIFI

Hi,
Just got this phone for 2 days. I am unable to download apps from the Google store using WIFI, download froze on "downloading".
I tried factoring resetting twice but still not working. When using cellular network apps downloading is no problem.
Anyone has any idea how to solve it or is experiencing the same?
PS. Same threads suggest disabling IPV6 but that too didnt work.

Same problem on oreo february on other wifi networks i can download from play store but in one i can't, on other phones it isn't this problem on same network, what to do?
Flash custom 8.1 with opengapps and leave the crap stock roms
Btw: never had this issue on stock beta January,February and March.
did you try rebooting your phone? i just got that bag, until tonight i have never faced this problem, but few minutes ago i was trying to update some apps and the speed was so slow it was annoying. but simple reboot solved it.
