Slow downloading in Google Play

[Mike Dee]

do you have any power saving modes on ? or did you restrict playstore from running in background to save battery consumption?

Sounds like its having trouble in the foreground.

Certainly is .

I traverse this forum though I have a note 8... d:^) Having this same issue. I don't use wifi, and forced stopped, cleared cache etc and when i noticed it happens over many days and different states I simply relaxed saying: ah Google servers. peace

I would try SETTINGS - APPS - SYSTEM APPS - GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES - STORAGE - MANAGE STORAGE - CLEAR ALL DATA and reboot.

I don't believe so.

 

[mustang7757]

I don't believe so.

This is a very unusual problem, the fixes that we went through last night should of fixed . Now you have to go deeper find something or application installed that's affecting this

 

[TechNut79]

I don't know that an app is causing it as it's never happened before. All apps I have are the same, nothing new. I also did a factory reset not too long ago.

No I don't think a app either causing this , try taking play store out of battery optimization .

I'm not trying to be stupid, but how do I do that?

If you go into settings type in the search bar , optimized battery usage tap on that you see a little drop down menu choose all then turn off play store which will be toggled on

So it looks like I have made an error... Any feedback would be helpful!
Finally got impatient with Google Play Store today when it was trying to update apps and taking forever; cleared cache and data in Google Play services AND Google Play Store. rebooted the phone.
NOW, I don't see my installed apps on Play Store... oops. They're still on the phone though will they eventually be recognized by google on my phone or have I messed up? And since Google doesn't "see" them, will updates normally arrive as well or...?
Again, any input would be appreciated. Thanks

They will reappear again for updates , you just cleared it out after resetting the app .

Thanks Mustang, appreciate your response.
One last query on this subject: it seems that apps I payed to get rid of ads etc. are having ads again. Any suggestions?

Your welcome!
Good question , maybe once get the playstore issue going maybe will fix that also .

 

[mustang7757]

The other thing I can also suggest with the play store issues is rebooting in recovery and clear system cache see what happens

 

[Rukbat]

@Hghlndr, if the "pay to get rid of apps" was installing another app, install the other app again. If it was "type the code in here", try typing it in again.

I had this same problem last night. App updates would download slow and hang in the 90% area. They would eventually update but it took a long time. I tried clearing the cache of play service and play store. Did nothing. I then tried clearing the phone cache. Nothing. I finally gave up. I set the app updates to "update all" and went to bed. I got up this morning and they did all update. I had 5 more updates this morning. I tried those and they worked perfectly normal. I wonder if it was an issue on the Google side of things that they fixed overnight?

Toggled it off now.

Anything change?

It seems to still be hanging when it gets to the end of the download. If I don't watch it, it downloads and installs quicker. Still weird.
