Hey guys. I have a couple of Play Store apks from older threads that purportedly fixed the "An error occurred, please try again" message when attempting to purchase apps. I'm getting problems again when using either version. Free apps download fine, paid apps throw the above error.
Could someone please kindly:
- Point me to a known working apk?
- Verify for me what permissions it should have, and if it still needs to be named "Vending.apk" once it's place in '/system/app'?
Thanks very much for any help you can offer.
I am also suddenly unable to purchase anything in the Play Store from my phone. I get "an error has occurred". Can still purchase through the website.
Have tried wiping caches/data. Tried multiple versions of store (phonesky.apk and GoogleServicesFramework), as well as restoring from an older Titanium backup. No success. Even tried market enabler to no avail.
I am in the US, so should be no problem there.
Any thoughts?

Reflashed gapps and it all works again. Looks like something has changed causing the modded Play Store and Frameworks apks to not work properly.

Hi,
I downloaded an app from the black market a while ago, now it's on sale in the real market and I want to buy it.
I uninstalled it but it shows up as "Purchased" on Google Play and when I try to download I get an error saying it failed because I haven't purchased it.
I tried breaking the market link (with Titanium pro), it didn't help
What can I do? Phone (Atrix 4G) is rootet of course..
Thanks
Try buying it from the website instead of the phone.

Clear the market data and cache. You might have to reboot. Also make sure that you are at normal dpi for your phone.
Absolution 3.7/Redemption ICS A2b1
Found only an option to clear search history. Also, what is DPI?
edit: ok, stupid question. found it, tried it and rebooting now
Cleared date, cache and search history
Rebooted
Got the "we're upgrading to Google Play" message again and had to accept the T&C again
But still, shows as purchased...
I did this with another app in the past and didn't have this problem. After I uninstalled what I got from the black market I could immanently purchase it on the Android Market. Maybe it's because of the upgrade to Google Play?
Same here:
When XDA posted the article Over 100 Paid Apps For Free On GetJar, I went ahead and downloaded few apps from there. Now I want to really buy a couple of the apps that I like and I can't.
I tried:
- install the apk from getjar, unlink from market (with TB), uninstall apk
- install the apk from getjar, link to market (TB), uninstall from device
- clean data/cache for the app and the market
- uninstall
- wait.
- Report to market that I did not buy it.
and still: after 2 days with the app uninstalled, the Google Play Market still says "Purchased".
What can I do?
I don't know even it insists on these 2 apps of many that I have, the others doesn't show as installed or purchased even thought they are on my device at the moment :|
Update:
The solution is to install an older version of the marker, in which the app appears as Not purchased, and can be purchased without problems, here is the working version of the market (com.android.vending-2.3.6.apk):

This WORKED!
Just for the information:
Google Market 3.5.16 fixes this issue definitely: now it will not show side loaded apps as Purchased in any case, like this apps installed via Amazon, GetJar, APK, Black market are treated as just "Installed" in the Play Market. You can uninstall them from the market, and when you choose "Update" from the Play Market you'll be shown the "Purchase" dialog to buy the app.
Great to see Google care about Side loaded apps...

My Gmail kept crashing, and I read that I should clear cache and data for Google Services Framework. Since I've done this, I can't download anything from the market. At first I was getting error number 921. I messed around with clearing the cache and data for a bunch of Google apps, including the Play Store, and now I'm getting error number - 101. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. It started today for me. Error 495. I've cleared caches, data, uninstalled and reinstalled play store, but still can't download anything. Is google having a problem? I haven't changed anything.
Thanks for any wisdom re: this issue.

I got stuck with a similar issue a month ago. What threw me was the errors always reported trouble accessing Google Servers. Guess what it was? My google wallet had been disabled because "The administrator of my domain" had changed the password. I AM the admin for my Google Apps domain. Stupid error reporting had me going crazy for a few weeks.
I caught on that it was my account when I tried another google account in play store and it worked.
This may not be either yours or the OPs problem, but if it's only PAID apps that won't download, you should look into your Google wallet. When you hit the page for account info, it will tell you if it is disabled. Worth checking out. If not, look for an apk for "Market Enabler" that can help otherwise. Good luck.
I've market problem. I can't install lots of apps, it said "your device isn't compatible with this version"
This includes Facebook, doubletwist,instalgram,smanager,etc all the basic apps......
The only way it can be solved is full wipe clean install of the Rom,BUT this problem comes back after a couple days of use....
Anyone help?

Maybe cleaning the data of the Google Services Framework and rebooting the phone can help.
Check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650116
It worked for me.
I've read somewhere that it has something to do with running a custom non-samsung rom and/or using a dpi value that isn't 'stock'. (240dpi is the stock value).
Sent from my GT-I9100
This is an hypothesis but if what the person above me suggested you to do doesn't work, try to uninstall market's updates which will revert it back to the old version (it will update back by itself to the Play store at a random moment). You can do this by going to the Apps screen and selecting the Play store there.
Best of luck.
Problem solved.
Changed dpi to stock 240dpi, cleared Google play data, cleared Google service framework and all the apps is back.
Many thanks for the quick reply guys
I tried lots of ways but missed the Google service framework part, didn't know it pays a party as well

I am having some issues with Google Play giving error 927 when updating/downloading apps.
This happens both on wifi and cellular.
Both on my Note 2 on Sammy rom and Desire on 4.2.2.
Is there anything I can do?

I have faced a similar problem long back.. I have done the below steps to recover..
Uninstall updates for Playstore
Clear data for Downlaod manager
Keep the phone connected to internet and reboot
after reboot wait for couple of minutes so that Playstore update will be installed properly.. Then try updating your apps..
I've tried everything
I have tried evey solution that I could possible find to try and stop getting error 927. It's definitly linked to my google account/gmail. When I create a new gmail, everything works fine. Problem is all of my purchased apps are attached to gmail with 927 error. Someone please help. I'm desperate!!!! I have Verizon Galaxy S4. Doesn't matter what I wipe, if I'm rooted or not, or if I try using my account on my wife's S4... All give me error 927!!!

I'm actually having this same exact problem on my Note 3. I tried changing my Google password, but continue to have problems. I pulled a logcat and posted it here in case anyone can interpret it.

What version of the play store are you running? Also, do you have the background restricted for the play store?
Try the newest Play Store if yours is not up to date. I remember the issue in my S4 and newest version solved it after wiping data and install update.

Setting -> Data Usage -> Menu -> Background Data

Ok I checked and background data is not restricted, and I have the latest play store version.
It is a issue @ Google, nothing you can do on your phone to fix it. Contact Google support. I have a support case there, and need more people to bug them, so they have to fix it.

Yes its the same account I've had going all the way back to the first Android phone. It has gotten better. I ODIn'ed back from a 4.4.2 ROM to a custom 4.3 ROM and my market works most of the time. When it starts actign up I usually have to clear data/wipe caches, restart and wait a bit for it to resync my account. Kind of a pain, but working most of the time is better than none of the time.

How are the Play store on the web working for you when signed in with the account you are having issues with. For me I have trouble loading in anything @all. Especially the top list, and my purchases.
I believe there are issues with older accounts that did not get updated/patched with new settings after ICS update, or the 3.0+ update of their store when it became Play Store and not Android market. When I use my other account all is ok, but there I have no purchased apps.
If you want you can find the 2.3.6 version of Market and replace the Play store and you will find that all issues are gone. Now I use Legazy Play store witch can be used together with normal play. Just need to push it to system/apps on 4.3 or system/priv-apps on 4.4.
Use all this advise at own risk.

Anyone have any luck with this/ age of Gmail accounts?
I just recently started having this issue on a stock GS4A on at&t. Maybe a week ago could not get updates and wrote it off as a busy server then realized this weekend I could not get anything new.
I tried every fix I could find on the forums and even a fix that the 2nd tier Google tech suggested (no different from the forum fixes other than including turning the automatic date/time on and off). Every method was a band-aid at best: one or two apps can come through before I get the 927 error or the DF-BPA-30 error. At least the error codes are consistent...
I honestly think this is related to the age of my account. I have had a Gmail account since 2007 or so when I believe it was still in beta. I am surmising that older accounts are on an older server or something that is having issues. I made two dummy accounts and could download anything I wanted, so there is nothing wrong with my handset or connections. The temporary work-around I am using is adding a secondary gmail account and adding any apps through it, while still using primary for mail, contacts, and calendar. I am not a heavy user, so it works, but I should not have to patch it together like this!
So- anyone who is getting this error; how long have you been a Google user? Anyone else tried "old vs new" for a cause of the error?
When I replied to the 2nd tier tech I told him his method did not work, but asked to look into the account itself. I'll update if I have anything to say.

Ask to get your case transferred to apps division. There I got real help. They are really good. And have helped me a lot.
There are two possible methods to solve error 927 on android:
Method 1:
Go to settings>>”All”>>Select “Google Play Store”
Now Force Stop>>Clear Data>>Clear Cache
Now again try downloading or updating the app
If the above didn’t work, go to settings>>”All”>>Select “Google Play Store”>>Uninstall Updates
Again, from “All”>> Select “Download Manager”>>Clear Data and Cache
Rerun Google Play Store and install/update your app or game
Method 2:
Go to system settings>> Accounts>>Google>>remove your Gmail account
Now from settings>>Apps>>All> Force stop, Clear data and cache for Google Play Store, Google Service Framework and Download Manager (like in method 1)
Now again go to settings>> Accounts>>Google>>Add your gmail account
Restart your android and then accept all the Google terms and setup Google settings
Rerun Google Play Store and update or install your app.

It is the most annoying issue facing by many Android users, that occurs when you download or update any games and apps from the Google play store. But for me, this error solved by the just clear cache.
Hello,
I have a rooted Oneplus 3T with android 6.0.1.
I tried to use the Freedom app, but it gave me problems with the Play Store, so I uninstalled it and restored the hosts file.
But I still had problems with in app purchases and the Play Store always asked me to accept Terms and Conditions.
Clearing Play Store cache didn't help, so I cleared Play Store data and everything is working now.
The only problem is that my apps list inside Play Store is now empty.
If I search for an already installed app, it gives me the possibility to update/open the app, and then it appears among the installed apps on my device.
Is there a way to force Play Store to check for all installed apps instead of doing it manually?
Thanks in advance!
Did you ever figure out a solution for this? Just had the same problem happen to me.
