The one update I got this far was time taking but easy. But I am already waiting for a new one. I have the heavyish Honor 7 from Huawei. I meant to buy the Lumia 640 but Windows phone did not have the blue light filter app that I need when I at early morning or late night read in the dark.

I'm always amazed how on TV, everyone with a Cell phone is always holding an iphone - only - ever.

New series of the excellent 'Luther' started on BBC1 last night. The first victim of the serial killer had an ancient Nokia 3310

Right now, I'm not liking a function of my Android 5.01. Google Play Store won't let me install or update any of my apps.......all I get is an updating/moving graphic bar showing it's updating, but nothing happens (even an hour or more later).
 
 
I haven't seen any app update notifications since possibly early November (I usually get them every few weeks or so...). I've been trying to install the latest update to Clash of Clans which came out a week ago, but still having this Play Store issue and don't really know what the solution is. I've emptied the cache/restart my phone, but all to no avail.

I got sick of an error message popping up not once but twice every time I would go to use my phone, which then required me to click 'OK' each time - including not being able to end a call without doing that as well.
 
So this time when I reset my phone to factory settings, I didn't bother with any 'Google Play'.
 
I simply live without whatever they have to offer or anything else that requires me to use Google Play to install it.

I found out the solution was to uninstall Google Play Store and reinstall........which worked.....yaay!! It also updated everything else that hadn't been done for awhile.
 
Although I don't like that a lot of apps are linked/depend on Google Play Store, I'm somewhat subjected to use it (I  like playing Clash of Clans. :)) If it was causing major problems or was too much of a hassle to use it, I'd do exactly what you're doing Jimusic.
