I got parallel space and when I turn off speed mode click play store the play store will not open.
Hello, I am not very familiar with parallel space, try to deactivate your parallel space and open Google play. If it works, it means there were settings that you need to set or you need to update each. As I researched, it seems that parallel space is compatible to almost all apps but you should check its compatibility with Google play. Contact parallel space support for a better advise.
My playstore doesn’t have the “uninstall updates” feature in the ‘more’ option in the upper right hand corner. It was there before. But not anymore. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling play-store but that doesn’t work. What do you suggest?
Hi, I would suggest that you save all your important files first. Then, do the restore factory settings.
Do a factory reset?? You got to be kidding. Is there any way to fix this other than a factory reset?
Hi Koolx, you mentioned that the google play “uninstall updates” was there before but not anymore. It seems that it got corrupted. If none of the guide above solved your issue, then your problem might be beyond the scope of the solutions offered here. If you don’t want to reset your phone, go to your phone service center and let them solve your issue.
Yeah like my service center is going to know how to fix this. Ok buddy.
