Go to settings then application manager and go "all" tab and scroll all the way to bottom click on "download" and enable it
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
Nancy: Try this:
Clear the cache of the Google Play Store app (Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Play Store > Clear cache)
Uninstall updates to the Google Play Store app (Settings > Applications > Manage Applications; select "Play Store" under the "All" tab/filter, and touch "Uninstall updates")
Clear the Download Manager cache and data (Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Download manager > Clear cache and Clear data)
Clear the Google Services Framework cache and data (Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Google Services Framework > Clear cache and Clear data)
If none of the above fixes your issue then remove your google account from the phone and add it again.
Hope this helps.....

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
How did the Galaxy Note club turn into a solve a picture problem?
So Joel, you moved from Note to S4? What kind of S4? Carrier/ROM?
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
Sure did. When my last note 2 got smashed after dropping I wanted to get away from phones not using gorilla glass.
The regular kind on t-mobile with wicked ROM v7.
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
I have the VirginRom with Android 4.3. Its the GPE version of Android, changes the product # to i9505, but has an awesome battery life and smoothness. Try it out. Mr.Virginia has the new (KitKat) version out but its still being beta tested.
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
^^ That sounds like a AOSP ROM. I will try it sometime in the future but right now I m not loving the UI for ASOP.
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
No, its not AOSP, ite the Google Play Edition ROM. S4 and HTC One were the 2 phones that got those (and Moto X has a similar ROM). AOSP is the Nexus type deal, totally independant of the manufacturer.
The 2 are very close but the GPE has manufacturer drivers in there. So S4 has the Samsung kernel.
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
Looked at the screen shots and it looked like AOSP. I will try it soon…Would like to check the kitkat…
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
I was looking for this thread and it is right on the 1st page !!! 
Anyway Note’rs I have a question about battery. I have 4.1.2 from AT&T on it but if I unplug it from charger overnight, the battery goes down to 80% w/o doing everything overnight (8 hours). I have done a factory reset, use cache cleaner like Cleaner and even put in a new battery but things remain the same. The good thing about iphone (much better in iPad) is that it retains battery life while left on standby.
I have now disabled Google Now, but does it consume that much battery? I’ll see if it is better but it seems that with Google Now, the up and down arrows on WiFi were always yellow and it is more intermittent now. From what I have read, leaving on WiFi is actually good and I can’t really disable location services as Google Maps doesn’t work without it. The application manager shows that display is consuming 82% of power and I have it turned down, on auto brightness and power saving is ON as well.
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
Dopple, you mention iPhone and i don’t feel like helping you 
Anyway, i’ll disregard that piece for now. 
So what you do is charge the phone and at night put it in Airplane mode and then see how much it uses in 8 hours (you seriously sleep for 8 hours???). its probably some app that’s the culprit.
Next install this app called GSam. This would show you what’s eating your battery, whether its an app or screen or what.
Also, how old is your Note 2? and how have you been charging it? Do you always leave it plugged in?
Also, how is the signal around where you sleep (home?). TOday I was at a client with a really bad reception area and my battery went from 90% to 52% when i left at 5pm. Its usually down to about 70-75% at that time.
So, get back to us with the answers and we’ll figure out what’s going on.
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
But you have to be sweet like your namesake, don’t you? 
The Note 2 was purchased mid year last year so I guess less than six months old for me. It was through ebay so I am wondering how long it was since Note 2 came out last year, right?
Anyway, I had a battery app on there (battery doctor) that I deleted because I reasoned that a battery app running in background would actually eat battery itself. I have reset the phone, so cache from the uninstallation shouldn’t be bothering the phone and couple AT&T apps and one play store (not music or book one) plus flipboard are disabled. TLK bhaabi also mentioned juice defender, but it really wasn’t any help for me.
There is a SIM in the phone but it isn’t activated yet. I have done airplane mode and then manually opened up wifi in the past. I was still losing battery then but I had Google Now on, so today I would do the airplane mode w/ Google Now off and see how that works. I have also deleted the weather channel app that would show up in notifications menu.
I would update the thread tomorrow.
EDIT: Isn’t it good that the phone is plugged in right around 70% unlike draining it out completely all the time? I know that I screwed up an iphone battery this way in the past.
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
So, HERE it goes:
I put on the airplane mode and then wifi was turned on. I unplugged the phone last night at 12:09 AM and this morning I timed it around 10:10 am, so a good solid 10 hours here. The phone went from 100% to 69% today this morning.
I know, as I said, that there is an inactive SIM there but with airplane ON, isn’t the cell radio actually ‘off’? The only thing that was updating with Google Now off is the stock Accuweather app set for 3 hour update interval, so it probably updated 3-4 times in the 10 hour window.
Candyman, any suggestions now? 
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
When you turn on Wifi, you’re technically off the Airplane mode (see definition below). What my suggestion was supposed to do was to see if the batter is actually draining by itself (without any communication having an effect). If you’ve messed up the battery with improper charging it would drain even when there is no communication to the outside world.
When you find that the battery itself is ok, then you install apps like GSam and other battery monitors to see if wifi/cell updates is causing the drain or if there are any wake-locks by any app that’s killing the battery.
For your case i would suggest uninstalling the Accuweather app (or turning off the app or the updates) for the night and see how the device performs. Try that out.
Airplane mode : Mode where all external communications are turned off (including Cellular, wifi, bluetooth, NFC or anything else). This is mode you would use when you get in an airplane so as to not disrupt flight communication.
Re: Samsung Galaxy Note Club @ GS
GSam tells me that android OS (kernel) consumed 51.5% while Google Play Services consumed 37.2%. That is 88.7% right here.
There is android system at 2.3%,sysem (mediaservr( at .2 and goggle play store at 1.1%. The app itself is consuming 0.5%.
