G+_James Armstrong Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 This happens often enough that I'm curious if others have the same issue with some app updates from the Play Store. I updated Google+ yesterday, and this evening Google+ was in my update list again. Nothing unusual, but when I select update, I'm greeted with 'Open' or 'Uninstall', no selection for 'Update'. I've had it happen with several different apps and not just Google+. If I back out, then re-select update, (sometimes it takes more than once), then the 'Update' option will be there. Does the app really need to be updated? Or is it applying the same update again because it's not recognizing it's already been updated? That doesn't make much since to me, but neither does not having an 'Update' option for an update. Maybe a bug or just a quirk with Google Play?

G+_Teddy A Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It has happen to me a couple of months ago but I just took it as a bug and eventually they'll fix it I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steven Ross Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I notice it once a week or so it seems lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Neil Sedlak Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I can't say for sure but it either is happening more in general lately or maybe because I regularly use two devices now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ryan Standeven Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Happens to me . not terribly often. Usually if I "close" both the asp and the play store it'll sort itself out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vic Lovan Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Often with mine too, and on any number of other apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ann Adams Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I have noticed the same thing. I don't know how often, maybe same as Steven, once or twice a week. At first I thought maybe the first update didn't finish. I also have the problem of some updates not showing the update button, and if I have many updates, I accidentally tap the Open button and have to back out and it then shows the update button. I figured it's a play store bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Matt Turner Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Rick Keith The same thing happened to me earlier tonight on both my Pantech Discover (4.1.2) & Nexus 7 (2012, 4.3). Just forced an update all & it updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Chris Sneed Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I've just started pressing update all regardless, it is nice to go over the changelog though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian Hitchcock Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I've seen it too. When I do I go and check my current version # with the one for the update. If it is the same I just ignore it and eventually it sorts itself out and if it is different, I know its a new update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
