Hello guys.

Many users, including me, stumbled across this problem the past couple of days.

There seems to be an issue with the latest Google Play Store version, which becomes stuck on waiting for network if you try to download something at random times.

This is very frustrating but I found a fix, although temporary until Google updates the play store.

WARNING: This requires root. Also I am not responsible for any damage that happens to your phone, proceed at your own risk as always.

Without further ado, this is what this fix is about:

Go to apps, press the three dot menu on the top right, show system apps, and find Google Play Store.

Once in Google Play Store, press remove updates, or disable and enable the app again, both ways work.

If you see in the notification bar that Google Play Store is updating, CANCEL IT.

Now, this is where is gets interesting.

Normally the Google Play Store will update itself, but we want to stop that until a later date where a fix is pushed out.

Download the app called MyAndroidTools.

Open the app and select the service menu, press system.

Scroll down to Google Play Store.

Find a switch named SelfUpadteChecker and turn it off.

Voila, your play store will now be working properly.

REMINDER: This is not a permanent solution, remember to check again if the play store is fixed at a later date to enable the switch again and update to the latest version.

Have a nice day all. :)

EDIT 3/4/17 : I found out that these switches may further help stop Google Play store from updating.

Again use at your own risk.

AsldListener

MaintainanceWindowJobService

RescheduleUsingAlarmManager$CheckWifiAndAutoUpdate

RescheduleIUsingBroadcast$AutoUpdateRecheckFrorBroadcast

RescheduleUsingJobScheduler$CheckPreconditionsAndAutoUpdateJobService

SeflUpdateCheckerScheduler$SelfUpdateCheckerTaskService

EDIT 5/4/17, second way.:

I still recommend the first way because it seems the issue is still not resolved, but this may appeal to users who want something less intrusive or don't have root.

I found out that the issue is not yet resolved with the latest google play version, but I was able to make play store work again with the following :

Cleared data of Download Manager with Titanium Backup.

Clered data of Google play services with Titanium Backup.

Rebooted.

I have no idea if this will last, but I was able to download apps after this, without touching the latest verion of Google Play Store.

If you wanna be extra safe uninstall updates from play store as well, but this worked for me without doing so.

Update: 7/4/17:

Zte announced a new software update, namely B02, which should fix this issue without any user actions required.

Thanks [MENTION=7799420]Choose an username...[/MENTION] for reminding me.

Hope it works. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] romitkin:
Thanks!

What I did was to download an earlier version of the Play Store, install and before running it for the first time, I disabled the SelfUpadteChecker.

But for some reason, the Play store still tried to download the update, it just crashed after the download. The funny thing is, during the 5 seconds between starting Play Store and the crash, I was able to download an app update.

Which version of Play Store should I use?

Just to clarify, I use the Chinese firmware, so I cannot remove updates, it is not a system app. I can only uninstall it completely.

.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WesTD:
Thanks man. It is working on me right now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Glad it does.

If it helped hit that thanks button.

I'll update it soon with some further findings as well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbo77:
Were you able to unbrick your Axon 7? I read it was in DFU mode wasn't it ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WesTD:
unbrick one is my friend's. it is cn version, mine is good.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ГАСООП:
It doesn't require a root. Just cancel updating after you uninstall updates and you are good for some time at least.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchelln:
On mine, it seems to use the Download Manager app for ALL downloads, including the Play store. If you go to the settings in Download Manager, you'll see a "Download files only via Wi-Fi. Untick that box and Play Store starts working properly again.

I can only assume that the crappy Download Manager is intercepting and controlling all download requests.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Mine's unticked and still happens.

Is this not the cause? https://support.google.com/googlepl...89771776-1522920403&p=uncertified_device&rd=1
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
I doubt it, it can't work on a supposedly uncertified device and all of a sudden stop working.

Or the device showing up as certified and all of a sudden becomes uncertified.

I personally think a play store update is broken most likely, because it has been reported from rooted and stock users, plus on other devices rather than the Axon 7 as well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Guide updated.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
[MENTION=3382081]nfsmw_gr[/MENTION] You should prolly write down somewhere in the OP (preferrably big, and where it says that it is not a permanent solution) that ZTE announced an upcoming B02 with fixes including this one.

It shouldn't be too far away since it has already rolled out to Chinese versions.

thanks for the fix though :svetius:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Gotcha, will do. :)

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] elementzero23:
This happens to me since yesterday. Rebooted several times, still no change.

When my phone is asleep and I try to wake it via fingerprint it won't turn on. Only if I wake it via power button it turns on but I have to wait 30 sec or so until it does. Once the screen is on, it seems to work fine.

I will elaborate this a bit further, maybe I can find out the cause. But has anyone of you had this problem, too?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
1) Have you tried to configure finger prints again and see what happens?

2) Put phone to sleep and wake it up in few seconds with the fingerprint, does it wake up or no?
[Huawei Watch] Benfran:
Hi,

It's been now 3-4 months since i stopped receiving any notification from calls.

Whenever my phone receives a call, i never get notified on the watch, never (nothing happens on the screen). I correctly receive all the other notifications from my phone, but never the most important one (calls).

I've had this issue for a very long time, and with 2 different phones and roms (nexus 6p with purenexus first, and now oneplus 3t with stock). So it's definitely a problem with the watch. I've done many factory resets, etc... but never found a solution.

I was waiting for 2.0, but since it's taking an eternity i'd like to at least find a temporary solution.

Thanks
[Huawei Watch] Benfran:
Any ideas ?

I can't be the only one to have this problem...
[Huawei Watch] amh10:
This might not be the answer you want to hear, but I am on the official AW2.0 DP5 from the Google site and I have never had a problem. The last I heard was that AW 2.0 has been delayed and I believe it may arrive after April now.

Anyone else having problems with KnockON not working? I have it enabled but tapping on the phone isn't turning phone off.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] wingzfan:
Using the stock launcher?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AmesCell:
No issues here. I'm using Nova. Not sure that launcher matters though...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] wingzfan:
Do you have nova setting an administrator account? Nobody else has been able to get knock off in nova to work without either hitting the status bar or setting an administrator account which overrides the fingerprint sensor.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] alxrock:
To turn the screen off using the KnockOn feature, I double tap the status bar. (using Nova launcher)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AmesCell:
I knock the status bar. I thought that's how it works. But I never even tried the stock launch so maybe it works everywhere.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] wingzfan:
Ok thats why I asked if he's using the stock launcher. In that one you can knock anywhere.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rfarrah:
Go to Settings > Display and scroll down to make sure the Knock On feature toggle is turned on.

Good luck!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] chief2842:
Thanks but I have that turned on and I'm using Nova Launcher.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rfarrah:
I use Nova Launcher as well and have had no problems with either knocking on or off. You probably already know this, but just in case....

There is also a setting in Nova Launcher that assigns what Nova does when you double tap. It's in Nova Settings > Gestures & Inputs. Mine is set to "screen lock" when I double tap. Good luck!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] chief2842:
Salute... That worked.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ljg600:
Some will look at the LG G6 and new S8 phones and say, "Wow, large screen phones in relatively small packages." And that would be true to some extent, but due to changes in screen aspect ratio- a bit misleading. Why? Because a narrower phone, in for example, a 18:9 aspect ratio and diagonal of 5.7 inches- does not offer the same user experience as a 16:9 phone of the same diagnoal size. In fact, I would argue, the improved usability of larger phones is directly related to vertical screen width and a 18.9/5.7 is no more useable and easy to browse than a 5.5 inch phone at 16:9. I am guessing this is partly why Samsung offers the S8 Plus at 6.2 inches- a diagonal size that few would actually want in a 16.9 in a phone. Yet the 18.5:9 S8 Plus's dimensions approximates a 16.9 5.7 inch phone.

I am of course aware of the reduced bezel and all screen look- but I don't believe this changes what I just stated.

The professional reviewers fail to point this out because most like smaller screens, are enamoured with the no bezel look and place more of a premium on how easy the phone is to hold width-wise. But I also think a dose of honesty might add what I wrote above.

Finally, with the S8 Plus- Samsung stretches a bit the usability advantage of the new aspect ratios. The width is OK- but even a very tall phone has its own sense of challenges- aggravated on the S8 by the high placement of its fingerprint scanner.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
Essentially the 5.7" screen on the G6 is a taller 5.2" display with roughly the same screen area as a 5.5". (Although 16:9 content will still be 5.2" size).

Suits me as I can only just use my 5.2" one handed but it still feels like an upgrade.

Plus it gives you space for the on screen keys, which after having capacitive, despite the extra screen real estate, i prefer on screen buttons, so 18:9 is best of both worlds imo.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolembo:
The thing with losing width is keyboard usability suffers....
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] WPWoodJr:
Seems like a good compromise from something like the Note 5 which is just a bit too big in the pocket.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] techrider6262:
Why would it?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] maruichan:
This is the same width as the phone I came from, a Samsung S5, so I have no complaint there.

Is it misleading they used inches to say the screen size? When I looked up reviews, I saw the aspect ratio changed, so I did the math and I looked up the actual device measurements so I would be able to compare to what I had currently. However, many people didn't realize how these measurements are created, so they used other phones with different aspect ratios to compare. That's not necessarily the manufacturer's fault, this is how screens have always been measured. The S5 and this are literally the same size phone, except the LG G6 is about half an inch taller but the width is just about the same.

Is it giving you more screen real estate? The additional real estate is most useful in landscape. Yes. Good for photo viewing. For reading articles on sites that sandwich their content with ads, this is also a helpful feature for scrolling around that stuff. It's like they know they your screen is small and so they fill it up as much as possible with ads and make it very difficult for you to back out without hitting an ad thanks to the hidden address bar feature. What is also helpful is when you go to use camera, there's more phone to hold, so it's less likely you will block the lens.

For keyboard, does it make a difference? No. But because the fingerprint sensor is located in a good spot, I'm not using the screen as much to punch in my pin and I'm also using voice to text more because Google assistant actually allows for bilingual speech recognition. Some people were upset they left out the notification light for example, but then there's always on display... I'm only mentioning this because I think that LG considered all use cases for using a phone, tried to trim some of the less important use cases for this particular series (such as a large screen which you can get on the V20) and paid more attention to build quality, cost, etc in delivering a phone for the wider audience. I don't think this phone was meant to just apply to power users.

Maybe if you have bigger hands. For me this size is fine. My husband however is much happier with Note-sized phones and he has yuuuge hands. I also noticed that he is using voice to text more with Google Assistant since going LG. He does Swipe, but it think it's about reducing strain around the thumb. Though he likes that he can use my phone with one hand very easily... for me it's essential because I multi-task a lot.

Whenever I connect my phone to turbo charger it shows rapid fast charging (unusual speed) and then rapid drainage.

After calibrating, battery cycle is very nice but, Connecting to turbo charger messes with battery calibration.

What can be the problem, is it battery issue???

Note: Battery discharges normally when charged with normal charger
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Does this behaviour happen with another Turbocharger (or Quickcharge charger) and USB cable? Might be that the Turbocharger you have is interacting with your power management in a strange way, which may explain the normal charging with an non-Turbo charger.

What do you guys think? Is it worth or not? :confused:

You asked the same question 4 days ago, please don't double post.

Your decision. Since you're regretting your S7E after only a week, I can't see any advice or recommendations won't result in the same. Do the research, only you can be sure.

The increase in processor power is only important in theory. We have reached a plateau where even last year's top processors are still ample. Manufacturer implementation of Android is imho far more important.

I had a look at the new S8 today and despite my misgivings about lack of useful new features I have to say it is a very sexy (!) phone. Problem is if you are unhappy with Samsung it probably won't do much for you either.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Glitch120:
The lack of band 20 4G (800MHz) was a dealbreaker for me when deciding on buying Xiaomi phones. I was just about to buy a Mi5 when I found out that I'd have problems with 4G.

Band 20 is used widely in my country by the top providers and Xiaomi phones regularly don't support it, causing them to fallback to 3G+ speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] B3311:
Charming. Public forum. I want to reply, and my advice is genuine. If you get buyer's remorse after a week with a S7E, what's to say it won't happen again with whatever you choose next? Hence, oh angry one, I suggested that you do a lot more research.

As said - no-one can decide what is the best phone for you and your needs but yourself (although clearly you have trouble in that department). Maybe try an iPhone?

My 2 cents

Look at the features the S7E has because the phone has alot of hidden features that you won't find in two weeks on your own. But look at the features and compare them.. not the look of the phones tho.

Write down what features you need in a phone/device and what features are not important at all then you kinda have a check list at that point. Phone that meets your needs most wins..
