Google Play forever updating "feature for Facebook" - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Anyone have any idea why this would be happening?
This notification n shows 24/7 and I think it is killing my battery because Google play services is always using at least 20% of my battery
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook to no avail

Thanks i will try it

I guess that's because miui has pre-installed facebook apps (system apps). I had this problem too, but gone with debloater tool (remove/freeze facebook apps).
PS: apologise for my English.

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.

Play Store downloads/updates stuck at 99%

I'm using a Note9 that's only a month old. The last 2 days, any app updates or new apps I'm trying to download get stuck at 99% (sometimes 100%). Things I've tried so far:
* Resetting the Play Store to default and deleting data/cache
* Wiping the cache of the whole phone
* Disabling the Google app (per suggestions I found elsewhere)
* Uninstalling Nova Launcher (per suggestions)
* Wiping the cache/data of the Download Manager
It's driving me up the wall. No idea what to try. Any advice?
This is the same issues I've been having, especially since updating to Android Pie. Only small fix I found was just closing all apps and run Device Care on a download, then it worked. I don't know if this is an actual fix though.
Are you using any package blockers or anything disabled via adb? If yes one app too many was blocked

I am not.
I've ran into this problem but only when having a unstable Wi-Fi connection. Specifically a bad power supply on the router.
And a lot of business wifi like in hospitals and stuff they have blocking software to keep the employees from watching movies and game of thrones and things like!

So, no one has found a solution to the stuck-at-99% download problem for Google Play Store?

Only Google.
I'm experiencing this problem as well (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+). This started happening 2 days ago.
Also, another strange thing is happening: The Blue light filter, and Digital Wellbeing grayscale filter, are not starting/stopping at the correct times, they are delayed (sometimes by hours).
The worst part is, my previous phone (Galaxy Note 8) had the exact same issue(s). I endured it for a long time. I was excited to ditch the Note 8 for a phone that worked... Oh well
I generated a debug log, and I'm combing through it now. I don't understand everything I'm looking at.
Here are some attempted fixes, that did _not_ fix the issue on the Note 8:
* Clearing the Google Play store and services caches.
* Removing my Google account, then signing back in.
* Factory reset, then reinstalling everything from scratch. (The issue started happening again, within 1 day.)

Thanks for your response. I just tried this, disabled the Google Play app, then restarted the device. I re-enabled Google Play, unfortunately the issue is not fixed. I'm looking at my 13 pending updates, the first one (Nova Launcher) is stuck at 100%, and is not moving/updating at all.

Thank you very much!
I double-checked that apps were unable to update (Netflix was stuck at "77%"). I disabled the Google app, and restarted the phone. I left Google disabled.
... Netflix took longer to update (it stalled at "77%" again), but it did finish successfully. Now the other apps are downloading and installing! Nice. Hopefully this is a permanent (or at least reproducible) solution to the issue.
Do you know *why* the Google app would be interfering with app updates? I'm genuinely curious.

Did you find out what was causing this issue? I have had to disable my "google" app to allow updates. Are you using a s8 ? We should compare apps to see if something we have in common is causing this issue.

google was at fault. disable or uninstall it..( not google playstore, but plain old google(the search assistant))

Yes i disabled it, but that must be related to another issue. my girlfriend has the same s8 and no issues. Must be related to multiple google accounts or something that differs from my phone to hers.
Perhaps fully off-topic or just the solution, did you disable or remove Chrome? I know my Note 9 shows similar behaviour when I debloat and remove Chrome. Once I updated the WebView app all runs fine. So I always update WebView before anything else. But then again I only notice this behaviour once I remove or disable Chrome browser.

Feature for Facebook

so this started happening since i upgraded to android 10...basically it keeps saying updating and downloading feature for facebook, it goes away sometimes but comes back everytime i open the app
anyone had the same problem or any solutions?
also i need to use the official fb app as i work for a company called appen and that requires the use of the official app, otherwise would have switched to folio by now

i wonder if it has an effect on battery life cos it seems much worse on android 10 imo (although i did dirty flash)
I have similar "occurrence" with Google Chrome and after recent Chrome update i don't have this "issue" anymore.
So, do tell?!
Mysterious are Facebook's paths!
Still on android 9,but i also do get this notification more than once a day..

never had a problem with chrome but i froze fb with tb and only unfreeze it when i need it for work now...still so weird how no one has any idea what the issue is
1. uninstall both Facebook and Messenger
2. install them back from apk not Playstore
3. uncheck "auto update" for both on Playstore
For the workaround, uninstall the Facebook app that was installed using Play store and download an alpha or beta version of Facebook.
so downloading the fb beta version via apk seems to have sorted the problem for now...thanks to the 2 guys who suggested it ^
installing latest facebook beta version fixed for me
so issue is with facebook
same problem on xiaomi eu rom also with google Chrome and netflix

Question Google play doesn't work after update

Hi everybody,
following an update of my smartphone today via OTA, google play and youtube no longer works. Do you have any idea where it might come from?
FYI, a few weeks ago I deactivated a good number of applications via ADB but I had no problem so far.
Hi tomtom34,
Have you tried setting your timezone and date manually? Sometimes this can help. I just got the update but have not encountered any issues yet.

I've noticed this too! I had to put back com.vivo.pem for it to work, but it seems to work if you do manual sync of google account, clear google play cache, reboot 2 times then open google play and wait a few moments, then it springs back into life and with com.vivo.pem disabled (the way we like it).
Strange, I know, happened again today after another nighly update.

Annoyingly, all google apps stopped working for me again today after it ha been working for a while. Had to activate com.vivo.pem, restart phone (and deactivated pem again as we want it) and the google apps work again, will see for how long this time...

Google seems to have settled down but since updating to OceanOs notifications are much worse. I had working before (not perfectly) WhatsApp and FB Msg notifications but it seems even with pem removed, app permissions set and batt optimisation for apps set it is still deciding to close apps.
Perhaps it's iManager? (We cant disable that now) or whatever app tells us it's closed this.. or blocked pop-ups from that.. But I feel that is prob iManager.
Is there a specific reason vivo app should be removed?

Notifications working ok now, I had not realised the basic notification setting in the app(s) were set to none (No chat notification at all) So many settings.... anyway, wasn't an OceanOS issue.

@pwnedphone GMS stopped working again, now I cant get GMS without PEM installed
I used the uninstall cmd on PEM (vs disable) and GMS remained on (even after a few reboots), hoping it stays that way. Notifications appear to be working again.

Okay, thank you for the info. Google apps (and notifications) have been working for me since the last disabling of PEM, but i haven't dared to restart the phone since then...
Did you ever experienced google disconnection after firmware update: I mean after an official update (2 in this month) Google Play Services seem to "freeze" (no notifications from apps) and if I try to disconnect my Google account I cannot login again for a variable period of time (Google server unreachable).

Question Phone constantly crashing and rebooting issue -> Help

As already mentioned in other Posts, my Vivo X90 Pro Plus is really unstable. As I don't know if I'm the only one having these issues and as it's not so evident, I decided to create a new Post about it.
I quickly installed after receiving the phone Google Play Store like a lot of people I guess, then many apps. I'm using quite a lot the GPS applications, and they seem well working. But the first thing I observed and didn't understand was the WiFi speed. It seems when downloading a big file by WiFi to be slow compared to my other phones even older in technologies and on the same router connection and at the same distance. Then I had a lot of crashes of the phone. A lot during the use of GPS Apps like Google Maps and WAZE, but not only. I was thinking it was due to the Debloat script I applied, but after doing a complete Erase and trying without the script, I observed the same. I did try to take a Log of the OS to check but as I'm not so specialized in these logs, I would need help of someone knowing the Logcat and their readings if possible... Because it's not clear for now if it's Hardware and need to change phone, or Soft or OS... I observed when it start crashing, it can be even every 5 minutes and becoming worst and worst and consumes a lot of the battery without any specific reason.
As it seems I can't attach here the Logcat file, here's the link to it;

You mean the problem is there after a factory reset too (without Google Play and debloat)?

Without Google Play it's difficult to say, as I can't use the phone without anything installed and I don't speak Chinese. But without the Debloat also, yes.

Then the issue is being caused by Google apps and services. Where did you install those from?
Also, try deleting app data for Android System Webview and Chrome. These have been responsible for several app crashes in the past.

Isn't it good to use APKPure for the app not available in our region we need in the Google Play Store and we have to update? If you've another proposal...

Do you check the APKs on VirusTotal before sideloading them?
I haven't seen the logcat as I won't make anything out of it.
I would stay away from apkpure though because I don't trust that site.

What version debloat script did you use?
Hi, that's ok. From the logcat I understood there was an issue with the app "Weather Widget" I installed and got used to and all GPS apps. After removing and cleaning its data, the problem is solved. There are no issues with the apps coming from apkpure. This app was coming from the Google Market and caused this issue. Thanks for your help.
But to refer to a comment, I've indeed yet a lot of error messages related to "Android System Webview" which should be updated when there are no update available. Like for Email checks, it seems often causing issues.
