Can't download or update apps from market on 4G

I am having a strange problem on the Google play market store, whenever I try to Download or update an app on 4G it gives me a message saying "waiting for network" and it just hangs there and does not start the Download process but when I switch back to 3G it starts the download right away which would be fine if my 3g wasn't so dam slow...Can anyone help? I'd really rather not download over 3g, I have tried clearing the cache for the play store app but the problem remains. I am able to do everything(browse the net, stream video, etc) on 4g except download apps from the store...wtf?

A quick search on Google on this issue lead me to the topic below, seems like I'm not the only one experiencing this issue...is anyone on here having trouble downloading apps from the store over 4G on their EVO 3D?

I am. I thought it was from flashing ZR3DX. It stopped working right after flashing it.
Hmm interesting, mine stopped working out of the blue as well...I have been using mean Rom 3.92 for over 4 months and it was working fine until recently. Have you found any work around? Could it be something wrong with the Google play store and not our phones?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Not our Rom or our phone. Some one over at the HTC EVO shift forums have the same issue. I say its the update. So what we need to do is downgrade the play store and break the damn auto update..... Any thoughts on how? :c

I saw a Sprint Users.com forum where all sorts of Wimax phones are having the issue currently (OG Evo, EG4T, etc). Mine's been having problems since last night. I just disabled 4G and it immediately started downloading. Unfortunately 3G is horribly horribly slow in Raleigh, NC these days. Might as well be using the Edge network. Ugh.
researching varisous forums...multiple handset manufacturers, and multiple carriers. Google has been blaming Sprint, but I also see similar posts on Virgin Mobile and (at least one mention of...) Verizon.
Sprint
HTC Evo 4G
Non-Rooted
For me it works fine on 3g and wifi, but 4g is broken. "WAITING FOR NETWORK" is all it says. Been on the same Rom for the last 4 months. So Yea this is definitely not the phones.
update: I uninstalled all updates for the google play app and it downloaded perfectly. Now I honestly can't see how this isn't anything other than a bad update from google.
update: however this only works once per app since the market updates and then when the next app starts Bam! Waiting for network.

I started having the same issue today.
This issue is still happening to me and has been for over a week now with no solution in sight
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Guys try uninstalling the updates as one of you mentioned but also go into system/app and delete MarketUpdater.apk. Copy it to your sdcard somewhere first. And after deleting reboot.
I don't have 4g and never used it but if your looking to use a version of Play Store that won't update that's the way to do it.

You can post on the Sprint forum, either start your own thread or post in an existing one:

They say no one from Sprint actually reads or cares about their user forums.
But at very least it gets the message out that there is a real problem.

try clearing cache and delvaks (not sure on spelling) via recovery then try doing the update
Anyone know what this update to Sprint Zone actually does?
Its just useless sprint bloatware
As said before, I need the apk if anyone has it. Please refrain from trying to "diagnose" my "problem." I simply need the apk if anyone has it. Ty.

Never had that issue. It brings up a white screen for 2 seconds and then loads. I don't think I use it enough though.

[Q] Jelly Bean Data Counter Incorrect?

I've attached a screenshot to show what I'm talking about.
How is the operating system getting these numbers? If I'm using 2+ GB on Rdio alone, how am I below 2gb of data during the month so far? I'm on Solavei so I have 4gb of 4g before it gets throttled and it would suck to get throttled and have no idea how much data I've actually used.
Does anyone else have this issue or know a way to fix it?
Thanks!

Oh! That's crazy. Well I never rely on those figures. Try app called "onavo count" in play store to measure the data usage. It's very accurate.

What PRL are you currently on?
Also, keep in mind that your PRL has to do with roaming, so it shouldn't have any bearing on sending text messages (unless you're roaming). Your issue could be with Sprint and their service in your area, and not with the phone itself.

The most current PRL is 25015.....fyi.
Also, the issue may not be on your end-it may lie with whoever is sending you texts.

If you get that error you can try updating first over WiFi. I'd also do a reboot first. Once that works you can call sprint and they will refresh your connection on their side.

There are usually many quick fixes for me when that happens, such as toggling airplane mode, rebooting, wiping and flashing my rom. One thing I've noticed is that having more than one sms app tends to make my messages not send, so if you have more than one messaging app I suggest deleting the non stock app and re-trying

I suggest taking it into your nearest sprint store and asking about it then, maybe they'll be able to replace your phone unless your warranty is dead

I think I was having the same problems back on my Blackberry, Sprint had to reconfigure my service or something, I can't really remember. But if nothing you do with PRLs/Phone systems then contact them to see if they just need to re-provision your line or something along those lines.
So I ran an ruu today brought and now they're sending me a new one now I'm rocking and EVO

I just started having problems sending and receiving text messages this evening. I can't get anything to go out or come in. My Samsung Galaxy S2 isn't having these problems. Time to do some investigating...

Weird text message.

Anyone know what this is? I started getting these on the sense 5 rom and now I'm stock and got it again. Happened when a friend tried to send a pic. They had to send it twice for it to work.
Tried Google and got nothing.

It's a WAP push. Something to do with the MMSc.
I got those when I went from a feature phone to smartphone.
I blocked the number but a call to CS should fix it. I'm blaming the iPhone.

It only started happening after I ran AOSP and Sense 5 based roms recently. Got it on sense 5 and restored and started getting it on stock as well. I tried googling the issue and got nothing. Not sure verizons goons are gonna be able to do anything.
Verizon support is not the best. Most don't even know what they are talking about. When I called once to get my data working again on my continuum the guy who I got had the same phone and he said he had the same problem but his data was just turned off and he didn't even know...

Could it have something to do with the MMS proxy being set wrong in the APN settings? Are you running one of the Sense 5 ROMs designed for GSM use?

Nope. Was running NOS vzw sense 5 and never messed with my APN. Seems like thats all normal though. Only happens when my friend with her iphone tries to send me a pic. The message in thr screenshot will show up and she'll have to send again for it to work. Android to android seems to work fine.

Google search for vnd.wap.mms and you'll find info. It should've cleared itself by now though.
