Many people are receiving their Pixel 2 with Camera version 5.0.009 and cannot update it to the new version 5.1.014. The difference is that version 5.0.009 does not allow Portrait mode on the front camera. When you go to update in the Play Store, it doesn't show an update. All you have to do is clear the data for Google Play by following these directions.
Go to Settings> Apps &Notifications> Google Play> Storage> Clear Data
Then check your Google Play Store and It should show an update for the Camera.
This actually directed me to update well over 20 apps, and fixed me pixel launcher issues. Thanks!
Google should release some update in the Play Store servers to push the latest versions when the user manually check for updates...
Wow 12 updates

Yeah pretty interesting, doing this fixed a lot of software issues I was having (in particular the pixel launcher was janky and missing some features). In my opinion this should be something everyone should do once they have their pixels set up.

Update: within a day, the update showed up along with like 12 other updates. Its like google had to process that I had a pixel before it served me the updates. I recommend waiting a day or two and then reinstalling the stock one and seeing if you can install.
This didn't work for me but I was able to Google that APK and install 5.1
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-5-1-014-171916386-release/
Yesterday, I received my new Pixel 2... and SORPRISE! Neither me haven't the latest version (5.1). I've deleted the store's data and I haven't seen the most recent version... Why does this happen?
I only got it through the link "apkmirror.com". I'm rather disappointed with Google.
Check Permissions
Check the Play Store permissions. As soon as I accepted the Location permission, all of the missing updates, including the camera showed up.

I know I can download the Google Play market manually, but I was wondering why its not being pushed? I know a couple of people who have the EVO and they eventually got it pushed to their phones automatically. I haven't. Is there something I am missing that enables this? I have never gotten and of the market updates without having to do them manually.

Are you on stock or Aosp? Also, you might have deleted marketupdate.apk? The determines if your market gets updated I believe.
Rooted with stock deox rom. I have the marketupdate , so hrm.
Go to settings > applications > market then clear data and unisntall updates, the open the market from your app.drawer or homescreen and it will push the new playstore to your device

It may be your rom, I was on kang ics and it auto updated but when i went to a sense 3.5 rom because of lack of ffc on the rom the market never updated, had to do a manual
how do you do a manual update?
+1 for clearing data usually works for me when i come to a rom with the old market
and to clarify i have the apk on sd card so if it doesnt do it automatically with in a reasonable time i just update that way
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

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.

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.

Another issue is that if you go to settings/google/sign in and security it gives this error(second screenshot).Please help if you know how to fix these issues.(I have reset factory both before and after the update, and I have also enabled auto run for all google apps in MiAssitant as I always do)

No way this is gonna work. Seriously it has syncing problems with some google apps such as Chrome, Play Games and this is really a shame for ZTE for such a messed up updated the so called MiFavor 5. They'd better release another update soon and fix this.

Why do you think it is a problem of the update though?? I had trouble with GApps on B01 and B06, and I could fix them on both. They stop working all of a sudden, sometimes after a reboot one will get frozen... it's because it's a Chinese ROM.
Try reinstalling it from zero and see if the problem is still there. The way to solve it is that one.

Almost every day, new update of several Samsung Default apps are arriving on apkmirror.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/
Is it ok to install these, i know they are verified, but seeing that latest updates are not automatically pushed to my phone or delayed, can i install these, or will it break any future automatic updates for Apps?

I install all of em. Never had a problem. BUT most of them won't install because of a package with same name error. What I do is when a few versions have gone by I'll save em and when I reset my phone (which I do once a month or so because I'm weird like that) I'll install them all right after I finish initial setup and they install fine.
apkmirror is where I got the Pixel Dialer/Contacts along with FB Messenger Lite. I don't have many if any Samsung apps left on my phone.
I trust that website, but that's just me.

soo..I just got an unusual notification on my 2019 fire hd10...that the play services wont run until updated? I didn't catch the entire message.
I went into the play store and the notification disappeared.
help?
I had the same thing. I cleared the notification and so far it hasn't appeared again. Everything still works.
Others have reported it, and the popular theory is that it's a harmless bug in the latest version of Google Play Services.

Playstore is not a trusted app
Always make installable copies of all your apps and current updates. The less Playstore the better... it never runs on my 10+ unless I need it.

....currently getting groomed by my cat, apparently I need it?
anywho..got the notification AGAIN today, and this time I was actually able to initiate an update.
fortuitous given my tablet just updated the OS today.
I'm seeing this as well on my Fire HD 8 (2020), and it's very concerning.
I've also uninstalled Google Play Services and reinstalled the latest version of Google Play Services from APKStore (you cannot do an in-place upgrade, there's only a "deactivate" button which doesn't work).
The error goes away temporarily, but eventually returns a week or so later.
And we're not alone -- hundreds of complaints on this issue in the Reviews section of Google Play Services on the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US
Is this just a temporary bug? Or is it an indication that the little "secret" of sideloading Google Play Store is over, at least if you want to use your Fire to play games requiring Google Play? Wonder if Google and Amazon are finally saying "no more?" I hope not.
...I think the fact most of us are running the play store in manual update only mode is the problem. it cant auto update the play services, and thus coughs up this error?

Playstore will let you know when you go to Playstore if it needs updating. I've package block and run Playwhore on manual update only for over 1.5 years with no problem.
All it's parent apps need to be running at boot up ie Google play Services. You may need to delete and recreate your Google account if it really goes off the rails. Reboot, reboot, reboot...

I rarely use Playstore. Updates there are set to wifi only, and wifi is always disabled.
Samsung tech support is useless.
Try googling the error codes.
I use ApkExport to make installable copies of my apps so on a reload no Playstore needed.
You can also use those copies to load other devices... if you want.
I was able to go into the play store and tap on 'update' on the play services.
-shrugs- it worked, thats all I cared about.
Play Store is telling me 21.30.16 is the latest version of Google Play Services and I'm up to date. APK Mirror is showing newer versions, though. Weird.
