KitKat 4.4 :: Play Store Notifications
May 12, 2014
I've recently just switched over to Android after 5 years with Windows mobile & windows phone. Currently using the Sony Xperia Z1 compact on KitKat, and all is going great so far. But just one issue I am having with notifications from the play store. I have set apps to not auto-update themselves, but have chosen to be notified about updates in the system tray. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be receiving these notifications, even though when i click on 'my apps', I see several need updated.
Do you have to wait a certain amount of time before the system notifies you of these updates?

When I'm updating my published apps through the Play Store developer console, it doesn't send a notification to current users that there is an update available.
I'm uploading the new apk with version codes incremented. Then I activate the new apk and deactivate the previous apk. Then I unpublish and republish and it usually takes Play Store about an our to reflect the change. But I never receive an update notification, even though I have the app installed.

I used to get notified whenever I received an MMS with data turned off.I could tell its an MMS but I could not read it.In order to read it I would have to turn on my data and the message would show up( whatever it was picture or group message or a High priority system alert from a server from my office) Now 2 weeks ago I dont know what changed but this stopped happening.
So I turned on my data one day and I started receiving all these MMS messages that were like a week old.(one of them was an alert from my office) which means i was not getting any MMS notifications.and in order to get MMS notifications I would always need to keep my data on.
How do i get my old setup back which I used to get notified whenever I received an MMS with data turned off.and In order to read it I would have to turn on my data and the message would show up.
Im on family mobile FYI. Im using stock Nexus 4 ROM. No Root.Im using GO SMS PRO & switched to CHOMPSMS.

I'm not getting any notifications (eg. email, facebook, whatsapp, ... ) unless the app is currently active. I opened whatsapp and immediately got the notification for a five hour old message.
This applies to other apps as well.
Is there any way I can make the notifications pop up even if the app is not running?
I'm using a Nexus 4 with Android 4.4.2

I'm running KitKat (4.4.2) on a MotoX, and I use the stock Email app for a work account. When the phone is locked with all notifications cleared, the first new email to arrives causes the notification sound to play- but no additional sounds play when more new emails arrive if I don't unlock the phone and clear the first one. Is this normal behavior for this app now? I would really like to find a way to get an audible alert for all new Emails like I used to get on my old Android 2.X phone.

New to Android moving from the iProduct line of goods. What I can add to the locked home screen to display: Missed call, Text received, Email received. I think I need to add a widget or do I add an app which automatically adds any widget available on the widget menu?
Is there one current good app or widget that will do all the above.

On Android 4.3, and playing any type of media such as MP3 or movies, and a text message, e-mail, or any other type of messages is received, unless the phone is actually muted the audio playback is interrupted with a notification. Has that been addressed in KitKat?
I'd like the option to dis-able audio notifications (blinking LED or vibrate is preferred) so the audio experience isn't interrupted.

I have a Virgin Mobile Galaxy S3 that just got the 4.4 update this morning. Afterwards it had to redownload/update nearly every app on the device as well as all my SNES and Playsation ROMs which I though was odd.
Now all the notifications for thos downloads will not go away. I've cleared them all at once, I've cleared them all individually. When I turn the screen off and then turn it back on an dunlock the phone all those notifications are back in the notification bar.

I was prompted to update to Kit Kat on my Samsung Galaxy S3 this morning. The updated downloaded & installed without any issues - but now the same 3 notifications are constantly displayed on my phone. If I clear, they come back. Same for when I re-boot my phone:
01-Take-A-Chance.mp3
Download complete
ioOX40xgzyOil.gif
Download complete
0zHzHEe.gif
Download complete
It has only happened since this update and it's getting very irritating having these display permanently and come back seconds after I clear each time.

Now, when it comes to the official Android Facebook application I've been using it on my Nexus 5 and my previous Galaxy S2. I use to always try and remember to place it in the background to minimise battery drain (I know this isn't perfect, but it did make a difference battery wise, because if I leave it in the foreground, the battery would drain).
Recently I've been running a number of tests and I have identified whenever I receive a Facebook notification, battery drain dramatically increases (e.g. over 10% in an hour with no use (sitting idle (black screen) and locked). If I don't get Facebook notifications, then the battery life is solid and last for ages.
So I tried: Disabling all Facebook notifications. I've then tested a number of times... I get a friend to send me a Facebook private message (they then SMS me to let me know when they send the Facebook message). My phone does NOT generate a Facebook notification message, BUT I notice the dramatic battery drain kicks in as described above (phone gets very warm as well) when they send the Facebook notification.
* I then tried ending the Facebook task. This does nothing. The dramatic battery drain pattern continues.
* If I turn the phone on and off, it stops the battery drain.
* I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook. No difference, problem still occurs.
* I'm using the latest Facebook application as at 30/01/14.
I know the advice is to uninstall Facebook, but I know I could also install Greenify, but I don't want to root my phone (yet) (and the non-rooted feature is something you need to remember to do - knowing me I will forget to force stop)).
There was something similar on Facebook Messenger (which I don't have installed) (I just found a battery-draining bug in the Facebook Messenger standalone app, and how to report it at Facebook who can fix it. : Android)

Whenever I leave a wifi zone and the phone switches to mobile data I get annoying notification messages/bong from the stock email app that it "can't sign in to Yahoo mail". If I follow the notification it says the username/password is wrong which is obviously crap because it has no trouble getting mail over wifi.

I just heard on a podcast that this was announced last year and I didn't even realize it was supposed to work. I have a Nexus 5 and 7 and the google calendar notifications always need to be dismissed on each device, they never sync the dismissals.
Same google and calendar accounts, using fruux. what gives?

I have a theme I've made for my iPod touch a while back ago, I want to update it and put it on the playstore for use with Nova and other launchers/themers.how do I make an APK file out of the Icons? (im on mac if that matters)
How does google play work if I was to charge for themes? Do I need a paypal or does the payments go on to my credit/debit card directly from google?If I was to make my icons HD size do the launchers resize them or i need to make SD size too?

I have a personal android device that I have joined to my companies network and as part of the MDM policy the google play store gets hidden. Company is 60k+ employees, so there's no hope of getting an exception.
So far I've managed to side load about 90% of the applications I need via android drawer but this only works for free apps, I can't load any of the apps I've purchased from the Play store without the play app.
I have tried to sideload the play store, and it seems to install fine, but doesn't show anywhere in the app drawer, or under the app information in the settings menu.
I've also tried to go to play.google.com to install via web, but the device in question isn't listed as an available target for install (presumably because I've never logged into play from it).
I have read-only filesystem access to the device, is the a way to manually execute the binary that launches the play store? If so, where it's located? I checked /system/apps/ and it's not there.how I can unhide or launch the play store app so I can get my purchased apps loaded back onto my device?

So I developed my first android app which is in the play store I don't have a physical android phone so I developed the app using emulators and stuff and when I do a play store search on the web, I can find my app. Anyway yesterday, I downloaded this new android emulator called Genymotion that comes with emulated phones that have access to the play store and when I did a search of my app in the play store on the emulator I couldn't find it. Then when i did a Google search on the phone and clicked on the link to open it in the play store it said that the app was not compatible with the phone which is weird because the emulator is running android 4.2.2 and the app is supposed to run on anything from Android 2.2 upwards. Anyway, do a quick search on your play store app and search for my app called "Reflap" (No need to download it) . If you can't find it, do a Google search on your phone and find the link to the play store, click it and open it in the play store and see if it gives you the incompatibility message.

I got hold of a copy of a VirtualBox file containing Android ICS. Its working on my Windows 7 PC except that there is no Play Store App.
I have read on another website that there are two packages I need to install but I have never used Android until this morning and don't know how to get hold of them and install them on my Virtual Android install.

1. Resetting the phone ( both through settings and service menu. )
2. Re-installing Freedom, opening it and manual closing it, clearing data and uninstaling.
3. Made sure the # is in front of the second IP address in the host file.
4. Uninstalling and re-installing play store through Lucky Patcher
get the play store working again.

I recently uninstalled my Play Store due to most applications not showing and whenever i search for them it says device is not compatible.So I uninstalled using sd maid since it is a system app and my fone is rooted.
I tried to install a downloadable apk file of play store but to no luck, it always force closes at app launch.Every version of play store i installed are all the same, force closes at application launch.
I also found out that vending.apk or skyphone.apk (whatever you call that) together with its. .odex counterpart is missing.

I'm trying to rent or buy movies in play store. I click the price and in the pop-up window it says: The article you bought is not available where your are (it is originally in German). I cannot go on to pay.
I have a S2g with latest German firmware (rootet). Problem is that it works perfectly fine for my wife, who has exactly the same phone+firmware and is in the same network. Why I cannot access the movies? GT-I9100G

So I upgraded my daughter's Nexus 7 to 4.4.2, and set up a restricted profile for her. I cannot figure out how to watch purchased Play Movies & TV. Her account has permission for it under settings, and I can browse for the purchased movies in the app, but they are all non-purchased. Her profile is still showing as tied to my Google account, so purchases should carry over, but alas, no such luck. they don't seem to HAVE a support department. Guess you can't expect that from such a small company...

I'm not sure I get Google and the Android strategy regarding music. Android has largely removed support for SD cards. Most phone makers are no longer including SD cards. It would appear that for large music libraries, Google wants us to use the cloud, yet....... I can't do a simple voice command to play music stored in the cloud rather than on the device. The results come back with "no results found". The only time it finds the music is when it is actually on the device.
So, I can either constantly have to manually manage a play list (since 32gig is not nearly enough space) or not use voice commands. I don't get it.

basically if the Play Store app is still running in the background - which is going to be the case for most users once they first download and install the app - after interaction with any in-app purchase-related dialog box the Play Store is brought back into focus and users must make there way back to the app to complete tasks. how can this be prevented?
