Lumia 822 App download/update stuck in "pending"

Hi all,
Recently starting having issues with my phone (Lumia 822) that mostly seem to be connectivty related (I'm guessing).
About a month or so after updating to WP 8.1/Lumia Denim I began to have several data related issues.
1. Data Sense stopped working to the point that I can't even open the app. Attempts to "resume" then kicks back to the start screen.
2. A short time later my apps stopped downloading, both updates and new.
3. Then i started having issues with my Here Maps saying it can't connect to the maps library right now. The apps actually don't do anything now so I'm guessing my old maps are corrupted or gone.
I tried a number of fixes including checking time and date, removing and reseating my SD card, reseating my SIM card, enabling/disabling installing apps on the SD card, enabling/disabling auto update, enabling/disabling downloading only over Wi-Fi. No change. About a week ago I bit the bullet and wiped my phone. Everything started working again and I figured my issue had cleared. Well it's back again, same issues and I am at a loss for fixing it. Any ideas?
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

So I finally resolved the issued. date+time was the culprit, though not in the way I thought it would be.
To fix:
1. Go to settings>date+time
2. Turn off "Set date and time automatically"
3. Check your time zone - mine was blank.
4. Change your time zone to another zone. (didn't seem to matter which)
5. Back out of time zone settings and see if time zone is no longer blank. (should be displaying the chosen time zone)
6. Go back to home screen
7. Go to settings>date+time
8. Turn on "set date and time automatically"
9. Restart phone
10. Make sure app updates are set to update automatically
11. Within about 15 minutes your first "pending" app should start to update
I'm guessing that after the update the phone either didn't pull the right time zone or was confused on it. I had manually set it during one of my first attempts to fix the issue, but apparently manually setting it to the same one that it was on didn't fix it. I'm guessing it needed to pull it from the cell tower. I noticed after daylight savings kicked in earlier that my time was always off by an hour. It seemed like the phone was on Central Time (I'm in Eastern Time Zone USA) but when I manually set it to Eastern, even though it showed it in time zone settings, when I backed into date+time it would show the time zone field blank. I set it to Central Time, backed out then reset to automatically pull and within 15 minutes my phone was working right again.
This fixed my "pending" app download issue, my time issue, my data sense issue, pretty much everything is working as it should again. I'll update if I notice anything else wrong. But for now this resolved my issue.
Thanks for all the help everyone!

HT1725 My app downloads are stuck waiting. There is no 'downloads' tab in iTunes. Very aggravating

My app downloads are stuck waiting. There is no 'downloads' tab in iTunes. Very aggravating. I sign into iTunes. No download tab. I sign not App Store. No download tab. 2 apps stuck on 'waiting'. Have reset iPad2 - no progress.

Also, I'm unable to delete the 2 apps. So they just sit there taking up space.
I'd like to at least be able to start the downloads or delete the apps. I can't do either.

HT3702 Itunes charged for free app download (Update).

Itunes charged for free app download (Update). No clue why this happened. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem?

If you mean the temporary store holding charge, as described on the page that you posted from, then that is only temporary, it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
That 'charge' is made each time that you change your card details to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account.
If you mean a 'proper' charge, and it appears on your purchase history and on your credit card, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Camera on Lumia 822 Developer Preview Update 8.1 GDR1 not working, needs Cyan.

About 5 months ago when the 8.1 Developer Preview was released I went ahead and got it on my Lumia 822. Everything was going great. It worked flawlessly until Updated 8.1 to the 3rd small update that was released for it. Soon after my camera stopped working and soon after that my GPS started displaying very inaccurate results. When I use any app that uses the camera it instantly crashes and I know it is a firmware issue because neither camera works. Both cameras cause the app to crash if it tries to use the camera. I updated to 8.1 GDR1 thinking it would fix it and it didn't. This happened to me 4 months ago. The community says Cyan will fix it. I have had to deal with this for 4 months. 2 months waiting for Microsoft to give it to phone companies and now 2 months waiting for Verizon to push it out. Could someone at Verizon please give an ETA? I wasn't able to take pictures all summer. Not of my summer vacation or anything. I'm begging you Verizon to push the update. At least just for Lumia 822. I'm not the only one with this issue. If you go to the WPCentral forums or just Google it, many more people are having the same issue. I know I was risking it by using a "beta OS" but come on. Updates shouldn't take this long to get pushed.

No one told you to download or install the Microsoft Developer Preview.
That is not a Verizon wireless issue. It is a Microsoft issue.
maybe you can remove it and roll back until the real updated OS is shown to be stable and available.
And this is for both posters.
I can just imagine all the posts complaining how the updates caused this not to function or that no longer works when Verizon has nothing to do with those issues either.
After it is released by the cell carriers.

Lumia 925 apps not updated Error:80060010

My wife's Lumia 925 does not update apps. In the store tile it shows number of pending apps, but when opening the store, I only can see adds of various apps. Sometimes get Error code 80060010. What's wrong?
I do not have similar problems with my own 1020.

Good day. Visit this link: I cannot download or update apps from Store and see if the workarounds will do the trick. The link may be intended for the US, but the content is applicable wherever your location is. Keep us posted. ;-)

Mac App Store Updates stuck in "Waiting". Anyone had this issue before?

Hi,
I stumbled upon this issue yesterday where I had a software update waiting for me at the Mac App Store, and when I hit the update button on the store, the update got stuck in the "Waiting" message that appears to the left side of the "UPDATE" button. The updates did not appeared to download nor start, they just got stuck in the "waiting" stage. Moving to the "featured" section of the app store did not worked to re-highlight the UPDATE button in the update section of the Mac App Store page. The only way I was able to solve the issue was by Force Quitting the Mac App Store and trying again. On the second attempt, when I clicked the UPDATE button the "Waiting" message appeared but then disappeared and showed the expected download and install progressbar in the Mac App Store updates.
I was wondering if someone has seen a similar issue to the one I am describing.
Thanks for your time and answers!

This happens sometimes.
You did the right thing, tried again.
Best.
Hi dominic23,
I see... Well this bugs me off course because is not the normal behavior that I would expect from OS X, but if it sometimes happens, I'll be OK with that. I don't know but I may file a bug report to Apple on this so that they at least know of the issue.
Thanks for the advise!

App Store Update Stuck/Looping - Yosemite Recovery Update 1.0

My system seems to be in an infinite loop trying to install the Yosemite Recovery Update 1.0. At first, it seems like the download is complete and when I click on install, the button immediately turns o "Installed", then shows up in the list of apps updated over the past 30 days but pops back up as an update again with an Update button - starts downloading again, and the downloading seems to never end (ultra slow).
I've tried emptying the temporary folders for anything related to the App Store Updates, rebooting and clearing NVRAM, nothing has worked. I have also tried finding a link to download this update directly but could not find it. I had the same issue when updating to 10.10.3 OS X but used the combo download link to get around the issue and that part of the update is now resolved.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks

Tried your suggestion including a reboot, no changes. I have attached a screenshot showing the repeat loop and now the download never seems to complete. Every time I turn my machine back on, it tries resuming the download from where it last left off. This isn't a network issue as I have blazing fast speeds in everything else I do and when I downloaded the OS X 10.10.3 update manually, it went super fact.
Something seems to be stuck or gone haywire in the App Store update. I also tried deleted all the temp files in the temporary directory related to the App Store but still no changes. Also tried a safeboot and doing it from there, no go. Open to any/all suggestions. Thanks

App that is stuck n pending mode

I have an app that is stuck in download mode it will not open or I'm not able to delete it. What do I do?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Problem downloading update (stuck at 45%)

Hi,
I have a windows server 2012 datacenter and when downloading updates it stucks at 45%. Only when I select only one or two updates each time, the downloading finishes and I can to restart the server and select one or two updates more. Of course it is a problem
because I have a lot of patches for being intalled.
The windows firewall is turned off and I haven't any antivirus installed in the server.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Yes is good enough. In fact we download videos an so on without problems.
During the Windows update, was there any concurrent downloading activities?
Videos uses a lot of bandwidth, so if at the same time it was done during the Windows update then it could cause some issues. Are you using torrent in your DataCenter OS?
Anyway, try downloading Windows update when there is not much of downloading activity.
Every second counts..make use of it. Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

TS1702 Downloads/updates stuck at "waiting"

I've been trying to update some apps today, and they are stuck at the "waiting" stage on my ipad. I thought maybe if I tried downloading a new app, that would get things going, but no luck--same issue. I'm freaking because I need to use these apps asap for work, and I can't access them now. thanks

Try these things in order.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Cannot unpause lion app download, its stuck?

I started to download the lion app and then had it start up and then stop. now i have the icon stuck in my dock on pause. when i go to the app store to check on it , there is only a download button and no pause or resume?

Then download it again. I suggest you connect your Mac to your internet router with an Ethernet cable as sometimes WiFi will drop out and leave you where you are now.
If it happens again with the computer WIRED to your router then it is your ISP that is dropping the connection, for whatever reason.

App download/ update does not work without credit card info

Why can't I update or download any apps without entering my card info? There used to be an option that said "none" but it's no longer there.

Hey doublechocolate!
I have some information for you regarding your question that might be relevant:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

APP WORLD UPDATES STUCK.

Hey there everyone....
What happened today on my Blackberry is that I saw the little icon on my screen that I had 5 new updates on applications I had downloaded to my phone. As they were apps I wasnt even using, I decided to instead of updating it, simply delete all those apps. But after doing so, the little icon of the app world and the number 5 are still on my screen. I tried battery pull 3 times already and nothing happens, tried logging out and in on App World and even tried reinstalling the apps. But nothing happens. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Guada -

Hi there,
Try simply going into your main Messages folder, then press the BB Menu button and select "View Folder". From here, you can check for the BlackBerry App World folder and then simply view the messages which should clear the messages from your device.
I hope this helps.

Apps Downloads & Updates - "Could Not Be downloaded..."

In the past few weeks, I am unable to download or update any apps to my iPhone without getting the message "... could not be downloaded at thisa time". I had 'shut off' a bunch of settings a month ago when I went overseas. I believed I turned them all back on (must have missed one??) . Anyone have any ideas?

Try quitting Mail, if necessary using  menu/Force quit or command - option - esc.
I can't close Mail, even with a force quit. I'm trying to upgrade my MacBook Pro.
