Help Having the same problem I "solved" with Play Store

[noxxtar]

Last time I had troubles with Google Play not downloading anything. I came here for help, but while I was trying to fix it myself, I managed to update Youtube and Twitter after updating Google Services, but the problem appeared again.

So here is the issue: whenever I download something from Google Play, it says that my download is "paused", even tho there is nothing else downloading.Even after I close the download, it still shows it's downloading. The notification won't disapper unless I force stop Download Manager. I did absolutely everything, to the point where I factory reseted twice.

I thought about rooting it, but that would void my 2 year warranty and I am afraid to change anything since I'm not familiar with using SP Flash tool. While I rooted I thought about completly removing Play Store and re-installing it, or download a custom ROM for my phone.

Others with the same model had this problem as well. This phone's ROM is somehow compatible with this phone's ROM: Gionee Marathon M5. It has the same specs as this one as well.

So, should I use my warranty? Or does anybody have a simple fix for this issue?

Hi,
Contact device manufacturer.

Chinese phones. Did they actually come with Play Store, or did you install it yourself? It's not a PRC version is it?

Yes they all come with it. And no it is not PRC.Stock, clean 5.0 with absolutely nothing more installed.

edit: forgot to mentioned this device sometimes reports an error saying that clocked isn't synced. could this be it?

A little bumb here
So I have FINALLY fixed this but in a way I never expected it to do.
While I was trying to do something I thought "yo maybe my power saving has something to do with this", so I immediately turned off power saving and restarted my phone. ASAP I opened google play store and tried to download an app. IT WORKED! But the next time I tried it didn't.
So I restarted my phone again to see if it consistent. It worked but I couldn't update 2 apps in a row.
So I have to restart my phone everytime I want to update an app? **** that, there has to be something else.
So I decided to stop every single background process on my phone and IMMEDIATELY after that download an app. It worked.

This is still very inconsistent, but it is a progress in my research. I'm going to use Greenify to help this situation.
