Re: Google Play Store Pending Downloads
Problem solved -- partially. I took my "new" phone (Blu S91) to a local business and used their wi-fi just to verify I could download and install apps via wi-fi. Yes. During this time, on my phone under Settings->Security I noted an option "Google Play system update." I selected this and downloaded an update. After the restart I checked again and there was another update. Now my "device is up to date." Once i got home, using the T-mobile hotspot's wi-fi, I was able to successfully download and install an app via Play Store. Odd that a phone has a specific menu choice just to update Play Store. My "old" S91 (acting as the wi-fi hotspot) is updated to the latest "Security" and "Google Play" updates -- I just checked. Curiously, it still has Play Store issues. I tried twice to downoad the Wal-Mart app; it appeared to download most of the data but ends up with the "Can't install xxxx" message that's wonderfully uninformative.14Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Google Play Store Pending Downloads
Yes, on the "hotspot" phone, I cannot successfully download apps from network. To reiterate, I'm NOT using Home Internet, I'm using a data sim in a mobile phone. I have the download issue with a e-reader (Boyue T80D) running Android 8.1. I've sent a bug report to Google for whatever value it might have. Other data use of the hotspot works normally. I suspect Google Play Store has problems with latency. I ran a Oogla Speedtest to Tampa (USF) server: Download 6.7 Mb/sec, Upload 0.80. Ping: Idle tatency 99, download 295, upload 100 msec. Test was done at 08:40 AM local. For comparison, I swapped to my phone that uses AT&*T network and turned on its hotspot. Here are the Speedtest numbers: Download 23.2, up 0.20. Ping 998, 426, 466. On the "T-mobile" phone, turned off mobile data, wi-fi on, and was able to update 4 apps via the Google Play Store. So likely it's not the latency.10Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Google Play Store Pending Downloads
I'm in the Tampa metro area too. I'm an old hand at android phones and networking, but brand-new to using T-Mobile. My case is a bit atypical: I just signed up for the $20/mo. DATA sim (e.g. intended for a hotspot) but am using the SIM in a well-used mobile (BLU S91). The phone activated perfectly. I can use the phone's internet features (e.g. Firefox, stream audio music, etc.) and hotspot worked as expected. My connected laptop works normallly so far as I could tell (web browsing, play music) but here is the weird thing: just like you, I cannot get any app to complete a download or to update from the Google Play Store. I've tried the usual tricks, clear data and cache, force stop etc. all to no avail. Anyway, I'm replying here because I seem to be having the same problem as you.10Visto0likes0Comentarios
