My friends owns a SGPT111GB/S he recently applied the latest update when it appeared in the notification area. He's a normal end user, tablet hasnt been rooted or any custom firmware loaded onto it.
4.0.3 (Release A)
2.6.39.4
TISU0R0030110
There is now a problem where he cannot open "google play" it is very odd as the icon for "google play" is the old style android market icon and it even says "market". As soon as you attempt to open it the app closes with no visible error.
I've tried the following
1) Reset Factory Config
2) Reset Factory config with wiping USB drive option
3) Finding google play APK from android authority and installing that replacing the "market" app
Anyone have any suggestions or where I can download the previous firmware from as Sony's site only shows latest available.
Cheers

Try clearing that data / cache for the app. Under app info. The old market has to update to google play the first time but it shoul have just updated with the update. Other than that factory reset and start again.

i remember seeing similar issues in the Woot discussion thread. someone provided the official solution by Sony: http :// www .kb.sony .com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=C1029387&fes=true
seems that uninstalling the update once will help?
Oops, links not allowed yet for me.... please remove those weird spaces....
Have tried clearing the app data but no luck.
The KB you linked doesnt quite apply to me as google play isnt installed after the firmware update.

download of angry birds and google map over 3g giving issues like download unsuccessful but when connect via wi-fi it works?! any idea?
I don't know if this will help but, back in 1.6 I had the "unable to download" error.
From the main screen I went to "menu key> Settings > Applications > Manage Applications", then found the Market App and used the "remove updates", "clear cache" and "force stop" options. Next time I oppened the market it was working fine.
PS-> the option names ware translated from portuguese and may not be exactly what you'll find on the eng version.

Just got back my phone from vodafone repair centre, had the motherboard replaced due to constant reboot when updated to 2.1 anyway just try downloading from market and still facing issues like "download paused" guess it has nothing to do with the phone but vodafone 3G network itself.
Hi there
I hope someone can help me or give me a pointer. The short story is that Google Play has reverted to the Android Market (v2.3.4) and I can't download anything from the Market.
The longer story is this...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, bought sim-free over a year ago, running Android 2.3.3. Yesterday I had a problem with Google Play not being able to download some apps. This was clearly wrong: I had 1.5GB free of 16GB. In the course of trying to fix this (ha!), and trying to find recovery mode, I borked the device further. Google Play reverted to Android Market v2.3.4, and some apps got messed up in random ways and consistently crashed. I uninstalled some of the crashing apps, but I still cannot download anything from the Market in order to reinstall them.
I've cleared cache and cleared data for various apps and services: Market, Download Manager, Google Play Services (odd that that's still there), Google Services Framework, and maybe some others.
The problem with the Market is that when I touch to download an app it readies itself for the download (moving diagonal lines on the progress bar) and then the progress bar disappears as if it's finished. There is no download, and certainly no install, but no error message either. On the other hand my web-based Google Play account says I've just downloaded it. And meanwhile my web-based Google Play account says there are no devices associated with my account.
Given the situation with Market, I can't even download something like MarketFixer which may help. I can sideload apks, but I can't find a (legitimate-looking) apk like MarketFixer to download.
I've never rooted my device, so I don't expect to have to do that to fix this. Before do a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Nik
Update: Solved in thread below
ah darn!! i thought i could help you, up until the point where you said you didn't root . If you rooted then you could just install the latest version of google play

Thanks for even thinking of that, dragid10.
Hmm... theoretically, if I routed, where would I get the latest version of Google Play from? I can't access the Market, after all.
There are a few threads in the apps forum here on XDA one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932489
I also don't think you need to be rooted to install it. Just make sure you turn on unknown sources from settings(either under applications or security)
Also have you tried uninstalling updates for the market or removing your Google account from your phone and re-adding it.
Edit:Updated thread URL original one was a closed thread.

nsmith4, thank you. That's moved me a bit forward. I couldn't find a Google Play apk, and now I've got Google Play back on my device, and the web version of Google Play knows about my device again.
(I did try to delete my Google account and it refused me. It said it was needed by some applications and should do a factory reset instead!)
So now it seems I'm back to my original problem: I (still) can't download any apps from Google Play because it says (wrongly) there's insufficient space on device. I shall keep looking for an apk of MarketFixer or similar. This problem is now the same as the one reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436188
although of course I cannot download MarketFix to help me fix the market.
Update: That install of Google Play didn't stick. When I rebooted the phone it took me through the Android initiation process (asked for Google username and password) and Market was back in place of Play.
Looks like a problem with factory resetting every time you restart. That is a bigger problem. Google Play will automatically update itself (all update to com.android.vending will).
Try taking the ICS update (if you haven't already), you need a fresh install of the OS. Or you can root and install a ROM. Same thing

You say you "borked the device further". The question is, what happened? What did you do, and what got borked, in what way? If you don't even know, then it will be difficult or impossible to repair. The easiest and fastest solution will be to install a fresh ROM, like Gagdude said.

gagdude, post-mortem: No, I didn't keep a careful record of what I did. The "borking" is a combination of the problems listed above. I'm going to do a factory reset and upgrade to ICS, as suggested, thanks. Will keep you posted.
Mid-point update: Successfully factory reset my phone (Volume up + Power on, factory reset, then reboot). Now my SIM card isn't recognised (sigh).

Thanks to all on these forums (not just this thread) for sharing their experiences.
I'm using a Sony Ericsson X10 mini (not rooted) that still suffices quite ok. However, after a while it tends to become slow. What I periodically do to make the device again a bit faster is reinstall the original firmware using Sony PC Companion. This re-installs the latest available firmware for the X10 mini, being 2.1-update1 (kernel version 2.1.1.A.0.6).
The last time I reinstalled the firmware I ran into an issue. After the installation I got to work installing a few apps. I noticed that all the apps that I install keep showing up in the market as "Installing", even though they are already installed and working properly. Switching the device off and on doesn't help. Also clearing the cache of Android Market did not resolve this. All these apps remain showing as "installing" in the market app.
I also noticed that the version of Android Market that I currently have is not the version of Android Market that I had before reinstalling the firmware. As far as I know, Google Play is not available on Android 2.1, but I definitely remember that I had a newer version of Android Market installed on Android 2.1 than the one that is installed now. From previous re-installations I remember that the device at some point would mention that Android Market needs to be updated. The same goes for some of the pre-installed apps such as Facebook and Google Maps. However, this time it does not give such a message at all. Opening Android Market also does not trigger any update at all. Also going into the settings and looking for updates does not trigger any update. Is there any way to force android to update the market and the pre-installed apps?
When I open Android Market and look in the "Downloads" section, it shows a list of all the apps that I had installed on the device previously. When I check play.google.com on my PC, it lists the same apps, but they show as "installed" on my phone. Even though I have not installed them yet. And I cannot find any way to remove these apps from the "My Apps" section on play.google.com. Could this be interfering with the android market app on my phone?
Is there any way to trigger Android to update the Android market and the other pre-installed apps? I'm very hesitant to go and root the device, that still appears to me as a lot of work. Especially since I know that it used to work correctly previously.
A small update in case somebody in the future encounters the same problem:
To find out whether it really is my Google account that interferes, I have opened a completely new Gmail account, and used that when setting up the phone after the firmware re-installation. And lo and behold: within a few minutes after the initial setup of the phone, the market application was suddenly replaced with version 2.3.6. No notification whatsoever, it was just suddenly there. I don't know the version number of the old Market app that I had. Somehow, the version numbering that is used in the application manager is different than the "2.3.6" formatting. The version number that is shown in settings>application manager went from 2002009. to 2002306.
Having the updated Market app, I wanted to relink the phone with my normal Gmail account. However, I found that apparently, you can only sync with a different Gmail account by resetting the entire phone, so that I have the original problem again. But at least the fact that the Market app updated itself allowed me to copy the updated market .apk file so that I could manually update the market after reinstalling the firmware. And having installed the new Market app, it also recognized the pre-installed aps such as Google Maps.
It should have been possible to delete your new gmail account in th settings app and add your old one. Failing that, doing a factory reset would have deleted all the user-data but still have kept the updated market-app.
Hi!
I own a Motorola Moto X 2nd gen, model XT1097 (brazilian retail), running the official Android 5.0 released by Motorola, rooted and bootloader unlocked.
After the manual installation of the Google Play Services 6.5.88 (1599915-836) version, I have lost the Smart Lock functionality. I have tried many times to uninstall this update, and manually install the correct version for my device, the 6.5.87 (1599771-438), what brings back the funcionality. But, after some time, the system automatically updates to the wrong version again and again.
I have tried many ways to avoid this, using apps that disable auto updates (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sequoiaz.disableautoupdate) and that disable services (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice). This last one, I used following the instructions of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/tip-disable-android-update-t2876674. I have disabled the backup of my account, and even deleted all the data backed up of my device at the Google servers. But, unfortunately, no one of these methods have success.
Please, what can I do for my device mantain the appropriate version, and have the Smart Lock functionality restored?
Thank you very much, and sorry for my bad English!
Have you tried this:
Go to settings->Apps->Google play services and press "Uninstall updates". Confirm the dialogue.

Yes, I did it. After that, I've manually installed the correct version, but, the auto update overwrite it with the wrong version.

Good Day XDA community!
May I ask for your help regarding this frustratingly odd error that has been plaguing my Android device?
Does anyone know the probable cause why an error 495 pops up whenever I try to update or download an app? I'm currently using a stock Android L 5.1.1 device with the latest updates installed.
I tried the following steps to resolve the issue but to no avail:
- Cleared the Cache, Data and uninstalled updates of Google Play Store
- Cleared Cache and Data of Download Manager
- Tried installing an app from PC (Play Store accessed in browser)
- Removed and re-added my Google Account.
- Factory Reset (thrice already!)
Can someone help me? All my other devices (1 Android L 5.0 and 1 Android 5.1) can download and update apps flawlessly from Google Play Store. They are all on the same Wi-Fi network.
Thank you!
