[Q] Phone thinks I have an app update, but nothing on Market page?

Every now and then I'll get a notification that I have an update ready. I click the notification to open My Apps and...nothing needs an update.
I have noticed that my phone will randomly delete a paid game of mine, Totemo Full, and I've given up on reinstalling that. Would that be causing the issue? Did Totemo get a recent (like < 1 week ago) update?

What exactly, quoted, does the notification say? A lot of apps are set to update automatically, these apps might be telling you they were updated, not that an update was just available.

Quick tip: you can always go the market page for each app to see when it was last updated. Totemo is here, and it appears it hasn't updated since July 29.
Mine will sometimes say that there are more updates than there really are, but I've never had it tell me there's an update when there isn't yet. Have you used Titanium to freeze any apps, by chance?

Your apps disappear cause some of the by default get installed to your media. You can fix this by going to settings /applications /manage apps/media area and the O. Es that have a check mark by them, click on it and select move to phone and they won't disappear anymore. As far as the updates go, and as the other post says apps are set to update automatically and thats why you can't see them. It's just letting you know an update has been done. Hope this helps

I had a customer with this problem yesterday. Try going to market>menu>my apps> then look at each non installed app and look for ones that say "update" (for him it was myverizon and vz tones)

There are a few different threads on this......what is happening is your default account is switching over to a secondary account. If you go into accounts under the market menu and switch your account, you will see there is in fact an update for an app purchased on the other account. I am desperately searching for a fix to this. I now have apps split between the two accounts and if it weren't for my company using G-apps for e-mail now, I would delete second account.

This is not happening for me. I have only one google account on the phone. I have turned off automatic update for each app where it was turned on. I get a notification every day that there is an app with an update; open the notification and find that there are no apps available to update.
This version of the market has issues, for sure.

Just go to settings/apps & clear market data. You might also have to do that if you have updated an app outside the market.

I've tried that; it doesn't fix the problem (and I have no non-market apps installed.) It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I just wanted to point out that this is not always explained by an app with automatic updates enabled (which should give a notification of their own, by the way), or having a second Google account on the phone. The market app is problematic, period.

I get this too sometimes and find it to be Verizon apps like "Verizon Video". When you go to "My Apps" in the market scroll to the very bottom of the list and you might see it there. That's where I found my missing updates.

Yep most often Verizon apps. Annoying

[Q] "Unfortunately, Google Play Music has stopped."

After updating to the newest stock firmware (xxx.10), and after updating to the new Google Play Music (Post-Google I/O), Google Play Music will only open for a few seconds before crashing and presenting me with the message I posted in the title. This message appears several more times after crashing.
Here's what I've done so far in an attempt to fix it (not necessarily in this order):
Delete Cache.
Delete Defaults.
Force Stop.
Uninstall and pre-installed app.
Restart (multiple times).
Power off and on (multiple times).
This phone has always been stock, and I'm not using any skins. I've downloaded very few apps, which have all been run of the mill. I did download Google Wallet, but I would hope that's not the conflict. It worked perfectly before the firmware update, and only the updated Play Music crashes.
Is anyone having a similar issue? Up til now I've only used HTC 's player, but I want to try the free month of music streaming. Any advice is appreciated, and thanks in advance!

It's working fine for me on the HTC update and google music update. I do get an occasional error you reported but it's rare. I might be completely taking a shot in the dark but try activating your trial on the web browser first. If that doesn't help, try removing and adding your Google account again to your phone. I vaguely remember having a problem activating the trial on my phone. But I didn't put much effort into it.

I have this issue when I am in less than ideal network conditions.. Or when switching from 4G to 3G sometimes. At home on Wifi is flawless.

I had the issue. I didn't feel like dealing with it so I uninstalled the update. Not really wanting to pay $10 a month anyways. You can look through the reviews to, there are several people having the same issues.

I too have this issue. I thought I had it solved because I hadn't had the error for a couple of hours after resetting some things, but now it's happening again and I haven't installed or done a thing.
It's a shame. The sound quality is far superior than other streaming apps I've used.

[Q] Push Notifications not working well?

Hey guys, so I just got the S5 a couple of days ago and I love it. However, I'm having some problems with the push notifications of certain apps not coming through, yet they do easily on my Nexus 7. They weren't a problem on my Nexus 5, but I have no idea why it's not working properly on a brand new phone like the S5. Each of the apps, like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to name a few, are all listed to push notifications and they're set in the main Android settings, so I have no idea. Anyone else have the same kind of issues like me?
To note, I've already factory resetted my phone several times, cleaned out the data, caches, etc and still no use. I am rooted though, but I doubt that should make a huge difference, right? And right now, I'm not using Xposed framework, but before when I first noticed the issues, I was. Thanks in advance!

Taking a longshot here...but have you updated that Samsung Push Service app through the Play Store (and all other apps for that matter)?

if you used Titatium backup to restore any apps that use push, that could be your issue. I restored facebook, instagram , snapchat etc and the push never works when i restore, you need to clear the app out, and just login new for each push app.

Yeah, I did that initially, but that was the first time I got the phone. Now, I've been clearing out the caches and data for each app, uninstalling it and reinstalling it from the Play Store, but still some of the apps don't have the push capability unless I was just in the app or still in it. Some of my problem apps are GroupMe, Snapchat and Instagram. When I had my Nexus 5, that wasn't the issue at all.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this issue?

Did you ever find a fix for this issue? I'm having the same problem...

Check out TB Restore Fixer on the app store. I noticed that when I did Titanium Backup restore, some of my apps were not working correctly and I couldn't reach certain parts of my storage, etc. After I ran it, it seemed to have straightened everything out. (Requires root, of course)
Hope this fixes your problems!

Same problem
I first started having this issue a week ago. I checked all the setting, factory reset, and I ended up switching out the Galaxy 5 through Sprint yesterday. E-mails and FB messenger app was working on data while I was driving home and I thought the problem was fixed. I reinstalled all the apps I was using and over night let the phone charge. When I woke up this morning I noticed two of the folders I made were removed and a widget for S Health replaced the folders spot. Thinking nothing of it I removed the widget and made it to work this morning to find out I had 3 e-mails waiting, a notification on facebook, and another message through FB messenger that did not come through this morning. I am receieving notifications if im on wifi but not through the data now and this is a new phone. I think this may have something to the 4.4.4 release but this is bugging me. Any new suggestions?

I have seen issues with sprint where phone calls are fine but data wont work in certain areas of the city unless you turn data roaming on it apears that the signals are ok for voice but not for data in thoes areas

Data roaming is checked on, I did go in today and saw a roaming guard on data and turned it off but nothing yet. It's been two months and my push notifications are still not working. Figure I'd come here and bump again.

Im having same issue looks like no one has a solution for this... I get all my notifications while im on wifi but soon as im on data i stop getting some notifications. Very frustrating.

Google play services has stopped

I am rooted and all has been fine for a few weeks. A couple days ago I started getting "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped," every few seconds. On boot-up I get "Unfortunately the process com.google.process.location has stopped."
I've uninstalled updates to the play store, hangouts, and google play services, as well as diabling them. I have also fixed permissions through TWRP reccovery, with no luck. Has this happened to anyone else on the new Moto G?
I wouldn't mind going back to stock and losing root if it will fix things, but I'd rather not do that if it won't make it any better.

just do a full reset, if u not did anything to system...

getting contact force close

when ever I get a phone call I get a contact force close

Me too.

Same here!
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app

Same here. I even cleared the data for the contact storage and contacts thru the apps setting and it did not fix it.

Another me too. Doesn't happen every to be (I don't think...), but does happen.

Same here man! All ouuta nowhere!

I'm having the same issue. Not every time but I notice it when somebody calls me. Are any of you rooted on a debloated image? I figured that was the case for me since the one I'm using has stripped all Verizon and non essential apps out.

I am using the stock software. No root.

Same problem here, non-rooted. Tried clearing Contacts and Google+ (on advice of another forum), no luck. Still crashes every time I place or receive a call.

The force close started 2 weeks ago. I have the same apps installed no new ones. I wonder if google or Motorola updated something in the background or server side. Who knows...

Three days have past and no force close. I havent uninstalled anything or cleared contact cache. Anyone still experiencing the force close or did it go away?

Same here! Incredibly annoying.

I fixed mine by disabling Google+. Ever since I uninstalled it I haven't had any more force closes of contacts.

The problem with disabling is if you use Google Photos to backup photos, your stuck with the error because disabling Google+ removes Photos.
