[Solved] Xperia P Google Play Issue - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi,
my brother has recently got an Xperia P with Orange SK branding and the phone has issues with Google Play. More precisely the phone can't install or update applications downloaded via Play store - it's initializing download until it throws an error window.
I've tried clearing GPlay cache, delete data in Google Services Framework. Also tried it with uninstalled updates and cleared Dalvik cache.
The rom was originally from Orange Slovakia, but then I unlocked bootloader, rooted it and now it's running probably US version (idk exactly, but it came with Music Unlimited pre-installed and I think that's US only). The possibly US rom was .564, but then I relocked bootloader to update it to the latest version and repaired it via SEUS. But still no luck...
Applications downloaded out of Play Store install nicely and work without problems. I've got over tens of threads and forums, but couldn't find any help. I relocked the bootloader, so that the phone could be taken back to Orange, but it would feel really awkward to come with a problem like that...
Or should I wait for ICS which should be available in next couple of days?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you working wifi internet or right apn?

There's no problem with wifi. I've tried two different wifis, both secured with just WEP, and everything works just fine. Browser works flawlessly and applications have no trouble downloading data as well.
Google Play application is up-to-date (version 3.7.13). Should I try older version?

Try to clear proxy!
Go to setting > Wireless and network > Mobile Network > Acess point name > "select your APN" > Tap proxy and delete all the number

Thanks a lot!

I don't know how or why it works, but it worked even though the phone doesn't have a data plan.
I cleared the proxy as you said, but the problem remained. Fortunately, I turned the phone to Airplane mode and FC'd and wiped cache on Play Store and FC'd and deleted data from Google Services Framework and rebooted. And it worked!
Thank you very much! The absence of Play store was really frustrating and limiting...

[Q] Can't complete downloads from Android Market

Hey, I just rooted my NC with AutoNooter 3.0. It works great except one part. When I start a download from the Android Market it tells me it will download, shows a bar that says, "Starting Download" and doesn't go any further. Other than re-booting, I haven't tried anything else except opening Google Talk, which won't authenticate. Any ideas for fix? Please be detailed (I'm a noobie and old...sorry!) Steve
I have the same problem with market download. Freeze at Starting download and google talk failed at authentication. I even installed different system but can't get it back to work. Please help!

What ROM are you guys running?
Using Honeycomb, having the same issues. Apps that are known to work on HC fail to download in the market
Try:
open Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> All --> Market
Clear cache, and then Force Close
open Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> All --> Google Services Framework
Clear data, and then Force Close
Reboot
You can also try using the Honeycomb gapps installer v2 in the development forum. This fixed all my market and google talk issues.
Thanks ecomemail. Th nook color has settings but doesn't allow for that option. It makes sense to clear this out, but...
Same problem here with auto-nootered 1.1. Freezes at "Starting download..."
Installed new market, didn't help...
I have this problem when I'm on my work's wireless. It's an authenticated network via browser login (it's our guest network). Even after logging into the network, my marketplace downloads hang on "Starting download." Once I connect to any other wifi network, my downloads complete.

Tried this fix, no luck.
Edit: I found a solution to my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11545846&postcount=400
"To fix market download problems I force stopped Market, cleared its cache and data. Did the same for Google Framework Services. Then in ROM Manager I fixed permissions, rebooted to recovery. In recovery I formatted cache. I got the four unable to mount cache messages that others reported, but the Market works."
Try getting MarketEnabler from the Market.
On the Actual tab click save current settings.
Then click on the Settings List
Hold down on [us] T-Mobile and make a selection.
May have to reboot and then try the market again.
Hope this works.
Im having this problem on the latest CM7 rom. None of the solutions posted have helped. Any suggestions?

Go to your aps setting and fing google framwork service and Clear data and cache, force stop and restart your phone, that could sort out the problem, i had a simler problem and this fix worked for me.
Everything I read points to it being probably some kind of wifi issue. Does it always happen or only when you're connected to a particular wifi network?
I have the same problem, i cleared app, but don't solution my problem

try this, but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too.

Hi, I have the same problem on an ASUS tablet - TF700, only it does not have this option, its wifi only. What can I do?

These are the two methods for solving Android Fix: error 495 in Google Play Store
Method 1:

From the list of apps find Google Play store >>Clear Data and Clear Cache
From the list of apps find Google Service Framework >> Clear Data and Clear Cache
Now install or update app from Google Play Store
If it still didn’t work try uninstalling Google Play Store updates first
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)

[Q] HELP! Flashed CM 9 and GAPPS but STORE NOT WORKING

Hi,
I am new to the forum and new to rooting/flashing mods as well. I have the AT&T version of the Galaxy S2. I just recently rooted and flashed the most recent CM9 nightly on my phone and everything worked great except a, what i hope to be, minor issue. When I first rebooted my phone after the flash, everything looked great but It was apparent my GAPPS zip had not installed correctly as I couldn't see my e-mail or the Play Store (obviously I'm needing to recover things). I re-flashed GAPPS, rebooted, and I saw the Play Store and my e-mail. My problem is when I opened the Play Store, it got stuck on the sign-in. It eventually signed in, I guess (my account has a check by it if I select "manage accounts"). SO, i'm signed in but nothing is loading. I cannot do any searches or retrieve apps. Baiscally, I can't use the Play Store. My phone works fine, otherwise, and it seems the rom flashed cleanly. I followed every instruction very carefully. Please help! I need to retrieve my backup from Titanium and use the market. Don't even have my wi-fi at this point! Thank you in advance if someone can respond quickly.

Post in Q/A subforum next time.
Try Settings -> Applications -> Google Play Store -> click both clear cache and clear data. If that doesn't work you could always try reflashing.
Now it's having trouble upgrading from "market" to "Play Store". When I go to settings > apps > running, it appears and disappears and I cannot edit anything in it =\. I just re-flashed and I did so without wiping data, is this correct? Should I move this to the sub-forum, or can you just help me out?
I would think a reflash without wipe should be okay, but who knows. I would say close the app manually, try clearing data and cache again, launch once, sign in when prompted and let it load the home page. Then exit the app and don't touch the app for a few mins. I've found that letting it settle by not touching it for a few mins as it tries to update will allow it to update correctly, you'll see the icon change to the play store. Again, if that doesn't work, then do a full wipe and flash again.
P.S. I'm no expert on this subject, just suggesting things to try.

[Q] Clear Play Store data?

Hi,
My phone reboots whenever I try to manage apps or check my storage settings or open the Play Store. I checked out last_kmesg and found that there was a kernel panic caused by an issue with the user data area. I can't clear user data through settings so I used Titanium Backup to start clearing user data and it died on it's ass when it got to Google Play Store.
I tried selecting just the Play Store and clearing data and it crashed straight away so I'm pretty sure it's the Google Play Store causing the issues. Given that I can't clear the data while the OS is loaded is there any way of doing it from TWRP or suchlike? I want to clear ONLY the Play Store info, I don't want to have to do a factory reset and clean ROM installation as I haven't got access to a USB cable to transfer ROM files over this weekend and it's a royal pain having to set everything up again.
I'm on Cyanogenmod 10.1.3-RC1, android build 4.2.2.

Titanium Backup has s feature called Wipe Data this will allow you to clear the Cache and Data from any app
In the list of app tap the one you want like Play Store then tap Wipe Data, it asks you to confirm the wipe tap yes go into setting application manager find play store and the data and cache will be 0.00kb

EDIT
Scratch that, after a couple of reboots it's up and running again sorted!

Question Latest CN ROM 13.5.380 ST (Disabled Google Play)

I have a CN ROM, but after the latest update (13.5.380) it disabled google play store, so I tried clearing cache and storage even removing my google account and see if it works, now as a last resort I factory reset it and voila! all google play apps are gone, can't even install google play, so my question is there anyway to flash it back to its original ROM version? (if there's any link as to where to download it that would be really helpful) thanks in advance.
