so, i've used my phone in the rain (more like a drizzle, to be honest) and now my speakers are sounding like complete garbage. the speakers are kinda wheezing. i've put the phone in the rice and i'm hoping it fixes itself. can I do something else?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Yash24:
Don't worry.

Keep your phone face side down for a hour or more and will be fine.

Also try to use hair dryer before keeping your phone face side down.

Was Happened in my 2 devices and solved by this.

But in water test of z play the speaker sounds perfectly even after the test?

I have a problem with play store: if i download an app from it, it remains stuck at 100% downloaded but it doesn't install... it needs sometimes even 3 or 4 minutes to start installation. Same thing for uninstall... I have just tried to clear play store memory (cache + memory) and play services memory but it doesn't help...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
Seems i have found the problem... i have uninstalled and re installed nova launcher and now it seems to work perfectly... i think that's something related to "add shortcuts in home pages" in play store settings...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
It already happened to me on my former phone. But I solved the problem by rebooting the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
Problems persist... i've done a factory reset but nothing: sometimes it's impossible to install/uninstall applications from Play Store, the progress bar of download stuck at 100% but the app won't install... sometimes it needs some minutes, sometimes it's just instantly... it's something play store server related? If i try to uninstall app from touchwiz it's simply instantly even if however, if go to app list in play store, the app i've just uninstalled is still present in the apps list... .

I noticed that sometimes even the manual update of phone firmware doesn't work and the "checking update page" appears sometimes instantly ans sometimes after some minutes...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Kikirikiiiiii:
Same problems here. Noticed the same when requesting system update for the gear s3 from the phone. Also happening on my tab s3...

Have you tried to update Google play services? And play store to the latest version. Do both of these then boot to recovery and wipe cache and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
I've just done another factory reset from recovery menu and now seems to works well, i don't know what triggers this thing... it's a little bit annoying... :crying:

Some apps have permissions to draw over screen and we need to disable this permission for apps to install correctly. I had a similar issue on my previous phone where the apps were stuck at 99% installation and then just dropped off. I had to literally disable 'Screen overlay' for almost each app for play store to install correctly.

Also, If you are able to sideload apks without any issues then it may be a play store related issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gregpot2000:
Hiya.

I have the same issue, and have for around 1 week now. Only with PlayStore, sideloading works fine
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
Has someone found a solution for this? I have noticed that sometimes it installs apps without any problems and sometimes remains stuck also for minutes! I can't realize what causes these slow down... maybe is something related to play store servers?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Blonti:
I have the same problem with 100% download and no install afterwards.

But at the same time I noticed two other problems:

- Badge Notification is not working - I don't see the "badge" on app's icon, when I receive messages.

- boon payment app is not working; when I touch screen to activate payment process (NFC chip), it supposed to countdown 60 s, but nothing happens.

I don't know if this is part of same problem. However I've tried - without success:

- reboot phone

- clear data/cache Google Play Store

- clear data/cache Google Play Services

- clear data Badge Provider

- clear data/cache TouchWiz

- reboot to recovery and clear cache

I think there is some process that should be reset (clear)... Any other suggestions? I'd try factory restore as very, very, very last option.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
I've tried factory reset (2 times), but didn't help...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mluoto:
Having same issue with S8 and Tab S3. Also notifications are delayed for random amount of time. Some lag and connection timeouts with different applications, not all though.

Tried factory reset couple times, it fixed the problems for a while but after 1-2 hours they came back. Checked with safe mode if some 3rd party app is causing this. Issues remained in safe mode too.

Got it to work for now by clearing cache and data from Google Framework Services and Google Play Store. Lastly removed and re-added my Google account, rebooted device and wiped cache partition.

Notifications are now on time, Play store starts install instantly.

Still afraid that this is only a temporary fix, waiting to see if these problems arise again after few hours of usage.

Seems there is an issue with Google services on some Samsung devices, mainly running Nougat 7.0
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
Just tried your methods, look if it helps...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tim84us:
Hi

this is an issue related with Google Play Services and it will be present esp for those using beta versions of google play services - or any beta version of google products

this is caused by the play services - checking for updates, downloading and/or installing them

By default - the google play services will not be able to install an app - until it finished updating/installing the framework

this will also happen if you were at anypoint in a beta program associated with your google ID

i do agree this has been execesivelly lately - but hopefully they will sort it out
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
The previous solution didn't work... the problem is still here after a couple of hours...I was in a beta program of Android with my past nexus 5x, is there something that we could try than to resolve this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Blonti:
Well, after all that problems I wanted to check manually for phone updates, but even that wasn't working! Nothing happened. I was fed up with my phone, done phone reboot and went to bed. Today everything works perfectly. No idea why or what was causing the problem. :-/ Sorry I can't give you more information.

Only boon payment app wasn't responding, but I've also managed to make it work now (clear cache and data, activate VPN, initialise the app from the beginning).

[MENTION=5169096]tim2london[/MENTION]

I don't know if this is related. I was also in beta programme, but with other phone and also I ended "beta tester", before I moved to new phone. I thought that there shouldn't be any connection to beta programme.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tim84us:
it works on Google ID basis - so new phone wont make a difference - you'd need new google account
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
Manual checking for update doesn't work sometimes too!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
However.... Google or Samsung are aware of this issue??? How can we report it to them???
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
For now, the only solution that works is to tap on multitasking button and swipe away play store...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
I noticed also that if manual update check is stuck, play store is also stuck... I think 2 things are linked...

All of the issues seems to be Google Play Services related, my first fix worked only for couple hours.

This time I updated Google Play Services and Google Play Store manually from apkmirror, to latest versions (11.0.56 and 7.9.52.Q) and cleared cache from both apps + reboot.

Everything seems to work for now. Will report if the issues comes back.

I don't know if this is version and/or Samsung related as my HTC10 hasn't had any issues with Play Store or notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mluoto:
...and the issues are back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] matus201:
I have these exact issues: installs stuck at 100%, software update doesn't open for long time, and notification counters/badges are not updating. When these issues appear, it's all three at once. I haven't found a solution yet, hopefully a fix will appear soon.. I'm sort of glad I'm not the only one with these problems..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] scottic2:
I have similar issues as well. My issues started on May 30th. Here is a list of my issues:

1) Same issue with Google play store- installing a new app or updating an existing one, download looks to finish but never goes to install until I force close the play store app.

2) Notifications are delayed- I've noticed this a lot on FitBit and Touchdown email

3) Notifications don't do anything when I press on them- specifically Fitbit, maybe others. If I get a Fitbit notification and press it, nothing happens- the notification doesn't dissappear, and I'm not brought into the app.

4) Samsung messaging stopped working for me- when I send a text message, it just sits with the spinning icon next to it and never sends. I've resorted to using a different messaging app- I'm using Google Messages, and it's working fine for me.

5) I had to unpair and re-pair my Samsung Gear VR Remote because it wasn't working. When I tried to re-pair it, I see the remote in the list of available Bluetooth devices, but when I press on it, nothing happens. Then about 5 minutes later, I get the screen to assist with pairing the remote.

6) Excessive (i.e. more than usual) battery drain from Google Services and Google Play Services in my battery usage- prior to the past few weeks, these 2 items didn't show up in the top 10 list of apps in my battery usage

7) After the system update last week, every single time I pull the phone out of my pocket, the screen is on and it has opened an app. Sometimes it sends text messages with nonsense in them. Obviously my screen is turning on in my pocket (which never happened before last Friday), but it is extremely aggravating.

8) If I try to check for a system update, I press the "download updates manually" button... it flashes indicating that it is accepting my input, but nothing happens.

9) I attempted to put a shortcut to Device Maintenance on my home screen today (settings- device maintenance- 3 dot menu in upper right - Add shortcut on Home screen), it did nothing. About 3 hours later, the shortcut suddenly showed up on my home screen.

10) Delayed notifications- I use Inbox for Google, and all of a sudden I'll get a notification that I have 3 new emails, when I go into Inbox I see that they were received 3+ hours prior to me getting the notification.

I have an S8+ on T-Mobile. Last week I received the Bixby update + May security patches and the issues persist. I have cleared system and app cache several times. I thought about doing a factory reset but it seems that only fixes these issues temporarily. The only correlation that I can make is that I received an update the same day (May 30) for Secure Folder. Not sure if this is the cause, but I've received another update for Secure Folder since then and the issues persist.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
I have no issues since this morning (yes,I'm afraid to say this) when I have cleared all data from play store, play services, Google system framework , remove and re add my Google account and..... I uninstalled secure folder... maybe is it this app that cause all this issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
After update to June security patch the problems came back... so it'n not personal area app.. but until this update the phone last more than 24h without any single issue...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
With this new firmware release, every trick like clean play service memory, remove and add account ecc... doesn't work, the only thing that has worked is remove and re add samsung account... i don't know if it is related but for now seems to work everything : no delay when checking firmware update, no notification delay and to install app from play store works fine...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dmbfan13:
Whatever the issue is, i hope Samsung addresses it soon. It's very frustrating. My phone has been trying to update 14 apps for the past 12 hours. It's gotten through 5 apps. This is ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] scottic2:
Wow... this fixed every single one of my issues IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I did was remove and re-add my Samsung account from the phone, no other troubleshooting, no reboot, no cache clearing, and Play store started updating immediately... notifications are coming in on time, i can check for software updates without issue.... Wow. Thanks so much. I'll keep testing everything and will report back. You are awesome.

EDIT_ Disregard, everything is broken again... I'm done. I guess I'll live with a half working phone until I am due for a new phone, which certainly won't be Samsung.

I had similar problem try disabling battery optimization for Google play store and services this worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
Play services is impossibile to optimize...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mluoto:
Think I got it now. Factory reset again, did not restore anything and this time set the Secure Folder off at setup.

First thing I did before anything else, updated Play Store from the app itself. (Store settings -> touch Play Store version), installed all of my apps after that.

So far so good, S8 has now been working without any issues a full day. Last time it took only 2-4 hours to start the lagging, missing notifications and Play Store getting stuck on 100%

I'm pretty sure the issue is with the Secure Folder app or the update for it that comes thru Store, even when it's unconfigured and not in use.

I think it's totally disabled once it's set to off on the phone initial setup.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] greystealth:
This may be related to TMobile users. Is anyone with the issue not using TMobile? Does it happen when on wifi as well or only on the data network? My coworker had the same issue on Tombile. He tried multiple phones and sims and no luck. He ended up returning it. TMobile support and Google could not help much. My Att version has no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mluoto:
I'm using Telia in Finland, so this isn't operator related.

It doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or mobile data.

My colleague has same operator and his S8 is without issues.

Might be something with Google/Samsung account/Secure Folder or some combination of these.

Had same problems with Tab S3. My HTC10 with same Google account is working just fine.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] matus201:
No solution yet. And it affects more than just play store apps: keyboard switcher menu, system update, notification badges, they all get stuck when this issue happens. It has to be some system app/process that is hanging, not allowing all these things to work.

Any ideas what app/process might affect the download manager/playstore, system update, keyboard switcher, notification badges?

I have the same issue on my Galaxy S7 EDGE :/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] autochef:
Try Google app

Hi all,

While I'm actually on an S7 edge, I thought I'd post my experience.

I noticed this starting to happen over the weekend (and as an earlier user noted, I'm in a beta program for a couple of apps). I went through the whole mess - uninstalled updates to play services, clearing cache/data, google store, played with the date/time, and even went through a hard reset of my phone with no luck.

Then yesterday I noticed that sharing was not working within the Google search/now app, and neither was the mic button working from the homescreen widget. I uninstalled the updates to the main Google app, and suddenly I got install messages flashing up for everything I had tried to install since my last restart yesterday (including multiple attempts to install the same thing from the amazon store).

I posted this on an S7 discussion I was involved with and a couple of other people seem to have had luck, including with an S6. I don't know if it was just uninstalling updates to that app, or all of them, or what, but it might be worth a try for you.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

See my reply above/below; solution worked for my S7 Edge

It's a 7.0 Nougat bug that was fixed in 7. 1.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alexterry0689:
Hello, I am using the Samsung Galaxy s7 and I am experiencing the same issues. Mainly:

1. Very delayed notifications, Twitter, Sky News are the main ones.

2. Apps downloading to 100% but not installing. Solved by closing the playstore app and reopening.

3. Apps not opening when I click on a notification.

4. App badges not disappearing.

I've tried a factory reset, worked for a few days then nothing. Soft reset occasionally works but not always. Tried uninstalling updates for the google app but to no avail. The disable option is greyed out for me?

Tried turning Samsung backup off. Nothing seems to work and is getting steadily worse. Very frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] renton82:
Try to disable (like I did) Google app, now are 3 days without any single issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] matus201:
Wow! The second I disabled the Google App, everything works without an issue. I do not use Google App at all (since OK Google doesn't work with screen off on S7), so I do not even care that it is disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dmbfan13:
My issue was fixed when I left the beta for the Google app. I had to uninstall it and reinstall it. Haven't had tht issue since. It's been over a week now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sr89194:
Yes, disabling the Google app is the temporary fix, but far from a solution. There is a forum on the Samsung Community support page but no response from Samsung and a general consensus that it's a Google issue. I left a message on the Google app review page, but no response yet. I have a Verizon S8 with the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sr89194:
Quick update: I've been following this issue on the Samsung support community website and someone suggested signing up for the Google beta app. I did this and it fixed all the problems.
