[Q] Trouble with Playstore - need help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi there,
I am from Germany and since yesterday i am not able anymore to download any free app except the google ones.
That means, that i can download, google earth, google translator and so on but as soon as I try to download any other app i get this message in german: "Ihr Konto kann momentan nicht bestÃĪtigt werden. Bitte versuchen Sie es in einigen Minuten wieder." in english it should be: "At the moment we can not confirm your account. Please try again in a few minutes"
Does anybody else have the some problem? I am on android since the beginning and I have never had such a message? I already cleared the cache and the data of both google playstore and the download manager. I can use and receive my googlemails and I can also use and talk over google talk.
any help?

Yes, don't worry, I am pretty sure it is a Google problem. I had that problem yesterday and thought I had resolved the issue as after some messing around with CSCs and defrosting certain apps I had frozen, I was able to download again...
But this morning, the problem is back.
I suggest you just sit tight and wait for Google to sort the issue out

ok, but it is strange that this problem does not occur on the google apps

The problem is actually a little bit different from the one you have described... for me at least.
I am able to install any app (Google or otherwise) that I have previously installed on any previous device. The problem only occurs if I try and install an app which I have never installed before.
The problem like I said above corrected itself for a while yesterday evening, but it is back now. To test, I have:
1/ Factory reset on the new JB build - still problem
2/ Fully wiped and reflashed via ODIN - still problem
3/ Gone back to ICS - still problem
4/ Restored previous backup of ICS which I know to be perfectly ok - still problem
So, I am pretty convinced that the issue is with Google. I hope this helps put your mind at rest.

found the solution:
1. delete your google account
2. Clear Cache & Data of playstore in the app manager
3. uninstall last updates of playstore in app manager
4. activate/create your existing account again
5. Finish
that worked for me.

BUG..............Please advise

hi guys, well to cut it short my market isnt downloading, one of the users "GHIDDA" put forward the suggestion that i have activated a bug in market (infinity downloading at 0 KB or ETERNAL DOWNLOADING) by removing gtalk130 or chat1.6,
ive checked my apps and dont have chat1.6, it was suggested that i flash my rom, i know how to flash but what i need is some pointers on the ROM required and if some of the excellent brains on here could tell me more i would be bloody grateful lol
If you have Titanium Backup installed browse to Backup/Restore tab and list here what google apps you have installed and we will take it from there.
im a dunce

i dont have it, i used seus to repair my firmware back to r2ba026 uk gen, i could go through the flash process to give me r2ba023 rooted, would only take me 15 mins, i think the problem is ive messed my phone right up and would be better flashing a gen uk voda and taking it to the shop to get it sorted,

i have reflashed m8, a few times, still keeps happening, i reckon its down to either the vending or the talk apps that i might have deleted using root explorer, dont know if you can restore things from system or the data folder????
Can you list the google apps that you have left installed? Do you have IM?
google apps
google apps 1.3
google mail 1.3
google mail storage 1.6
google partner setup 1.6
google search (enhanced) 1.6
google search 1.6
google setting provider 1.6
google talk 1.3
google talk service 1.3
IM 1.6
Interesting... All google apps are there.. Hmm...
When you flashed you handset what firmware did you use? And from where did you download it?
Go to this post by Grospolina:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7490733&postcount=65
Download the pack and flash that firmware.
Dont use titanium backup to restore any settings..
sweet
one of the old ones going from rf16 through step 2 then 3 to give r2ba023 then step 3 to root, originally had uk gen r2ba026 unrooted, used x10 root to root installed titanium and root explorer, went OTT with the delete and browsing through allsorts of folders, deleting what i thought was useless (inc things in data and app and delvic so it might be down to a missing file or something from them perhaps.....im a effin newbie hence FNG) hard reset got what i thought was a great looking simplified phone and aaarrrggghhh market not working, which was weird as i had rooted and restored a few times as i kept making mistakes and market was working as i had to download ASTRO to install the x10root.apk, but after a last restore it just stopped working.........................hence im a DUNCE
aaaarrrggghhhhh
went through the process, 1-3 but my market still wont download, does changing google matter, i created a new one yesterday
Vodaphone rom
If anyone knows where i can get a stock uk vodaphone rom for flashing i would be grateful, i have the two original files from when i debranded but as far as im aware that cant be done anymore.................................................

Is the problem that you can't download apps from the market, and it just hangs on 'download starting', or something like that?
If so, just open Google talk, and wait for it to sign in (with an active internet connection), and the download(s) should start.
It's a common problem - just have a look here:
http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
I hope that this solves the problem, as it did for me.
Good luck!
Internet
do you mean wi-fi, 3g or with browser?
what would happen
what would happen if i installed a rooted firmware and then removed all the google apps and even market, and removed all files and traces associated with them from system or data and then cleaned all my caches? just incase it has something to do with a file error/virus or bug, would seus be able to replace all missing elements in a reinstall, or to simplify can i erase nearly everything and get seus to repair?
Please read before going mad...............
hi peeps, just a quick update,google recently changes from GOOGLEMAIL.COM to GMAIL.COM..........anyone facing problems with sticky downloads should go to google via your PC and change your email to GMAIL (THERES A LINK TO DO THIS SUPER FAST, INSTANT CHANGE< dont worry you can still get your mail from your googlemail.com name)now go offline, pick up your phone turn on etc, go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/MANAGE APPS/GOOGLE APPS and then press clear data to wipe, go back to menu press GOOGLE TALK and sign in with your GMAIL.COM ID........voila market works again the way it should, it must be a bug caused by the change by google recently.....but now its GOOOONE....thanks and good luck peeple

[Q] App stuck 'installing' in Market

Hello,
Got the 'apps stuck on installing' problem with the Market on new 2.1 firmware. I've read in other posts that it's possible to fix this by clearing the Market cache and data. However, on the X10 it's only possible to clear the Market cache and this doesn't seem to fix it.
Anyone found another way to fix (because I stupidly uninstalled the 'stuck' apps from the Apps Management settings menu and now I can't reinstall them )?
Generally enjoying 2.1, though (Angry Birds! )
Thanks!
I had this happen last week with a number of apps (all stuck at "Installing") at once. There was no option to cancel, and rebooting didn't help. Eventually, I just re-flashed my firmware (and added JIT to boot).
Knock on wood... so far so good.
errase all data of google, restart. click on market put ur data , must be fix it. thats wut i did

I tried deleting the Google account from within 'Settings->Accounts & Sync' but the X10 told me that other apps were using this account and the only way to remove it was to factory reset the phone. How did you erase all your Google data?

I was really hoping not to have to do that - it's taken a while to get the X10 running something like I want it after the 2.1 update
Download the apk from somewhere else of the thing you installed thats stuck and install it. That restarted the one I accidentally uninstalled while updating it
In my case fixed with reflashing, nothing else was helpful

Have you rooted your X10? If so, make sure ou install and use Titanium Backup. If you keep your backups up-to-date, re-flashing is a minor inconvenience as you can restore (almost) everything to the way it was.
No, I've not rooted it. Generally I just use the phone and apps and don't try to do anything too techy with it. Is it still worth rooting (apart from to use Titanium Backup?)

[Q] Market Apps Fail to Download

A HUGE thanks in advance for any help you can offer:
I have a Viesonic G-Tablet, and I've flashed a couple of different ROM's on it - TNT Lite 4.4 and VEGAn-TAB 7.0 RC1.
LOOOOONG story short:
Tried to install Ubuntu, no luck.
Downloaded ZPad to try it out, installed. Didn't like it, used ClocworkMod to recover to a previous TNT Lite 4.4 install. From there, reflashed to Vegan...
And that's when the problems started. Namely, Market no longer works properly. None of my downloads are successful. It gives a "Download error - Download was unsuccessful, please try again."
So, after trying again to go back to TNT Lite and having the same trouble, I NVFlashed back to stock, wiped EVERYTHING per the directions on XDA, in the order prescribed - did everything by-the-book, and still no luck on any ROM. TNT Lite, Vegan - both of them adamantly refuse to download anything from the market.
I've searched to my wits end not only in this thread, but others as well. I've reset the data, reset the cache, uninstalled the market update - you name it, I've tried it.
Could it be your internet connection? Do other devices on your network download from the internet fine?
Thanks for the question. I guess I should have been a little more specific: Yes, great connection. I can browse the web fine, even download from Amazon's appstore - but that's where it ends. The weirdest thing is that I have noticed that I can download Firefox from the Marketplace, but literally - that's it. Nothing else, and I've tried close to 40 different apps now. All fail to download.
I've tried clearing the cache, etc...
I was even desperate enough to pretty much do a system wipe and come up clean. I used ClockworkMod to format everything - even the SDcard. Made sure to set the partition size to 2048/0, the whole nine yards. Wiped all the data, cleared/formatted cache, so I'm at a loss.
*UPDATE 4/18/11 - On a whim, I decided to use ClockworkMod to reset my User Data, and signed my tablet in under another Google account I had. As I type this, I'm downloading all the apps that I was unable to download with my "usual" account. So maybe there's a bug on Google's side? How would I even go about fixing that?
I'm having this same problem. NVFLASH and reFLASH numerous times and still no luck can someone please help. Can't install anything from market at all. it download and as soon as it finish dl and start to install it will restarted itself and nothing happen. please help. THanks
Exact problem I'm having. I've tried five different roms, from Vegan to CM7, to older TnT's and Calkulin's, nothing will let me download and install from the market. I did yet another full NVFlash last night and repartitioned the tablet, still no luck after flashing CM7. It started off allowing me to download a few dozen apps then giving me the download error, but now the first app I try gives me that.
Did anyone else here come down from TwoTapsX or another 1.2 based rom? Seems to me the issue started right about the time I NVFlashed down from that.

I just tried this myself, sure enough I can download with another Gmail account, but not my main one.
This has to be an issue with Google...I am having the same issue also.
How the hell did I quote myself up there?
Mine is downloading again, all I did was sign in as my backup account, wipe data and dalvik cache, reflash then fix permissions. When i logged in again it worked. Don't know which step actuallly fixed it.
I just deleted the data under app management and they started working again for me.

I had the same. Uninstalling Flash player seem to have solved the issue for me
Me too
I seem to have the same problem however I do not get an error message at all, I just see the application in the notification bar preparing to download except instead of even downloading it basically just disappears. I had this problem ever since installing Vegan tab 5.1.1.
I had the same problem...drove me crazy...finally figured out that you can just log intp the market on my laptop and install everything from there....

[Q] Market not showing apps any more

Hi,
I've got an Archos 43 IT with dual boot UrukDroid 1.5 and the stock fw. I had the latest version of the market running there (+market fix, installed by arctools) and all worked just fine. But since a few days ago the market only shows very few apps (like 2-3 each section) in both (stock and ud). When I try to install apps over the official market-homepage, I get the message like this (translated): "This App isn't compatible to your Archos A43-Device."
What can I do here? Does anyone have the same problem?
A few days ago in another post I read about a pro here, who managed to replace the file which told the market, that it is an A43 by an other one (i think, it was a samsung galaxy), but I can't find the thread/post anymore. I guess this should solve my problem, but I don't know which file it was, anymore.
Does anyone know, which post this was (link)/which file?

You can change the setting at content filtering to show all app.
For market app, you may reinstall it from arctools.

EDIT:
I even tried applying the fix again but it didn't work
EDIT 2:
I now managed to find the post I mentioned in my first post. It was here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11113696&postcount=3
But when I tried modifying my /system/build.prop, I was very surprised to see, it already had the galaxy-footprint, the line containing Archos was only put as a comment (Does this come by UrukDroid as default?). So this doesn't seem to work either...
I am still having the same problem I've tried everything i can think of fix unfix un reinstall edit build.prop and i think posted on the other thread you mentioned. And I'm having the same problem on my stock installation too. Anyone else have any ideas.

I now managed to get the fingerprint of a Motorola somewhat... (ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2/FRG01B/45394:user/release-keys)
Doesn't seem to do any change... Do I have to do anything to apply the changes in the build.prop? I tried reboot, clearing cache and data of the market and the google-services-framework. Anything else I have to do?
So, I got all the apps back . What I did was the following:
First I switched my fingerprint back to the Galaxy one. After that I rebooted my device and went to (the menu-points are translated by me, so it might not be the exact name) Settings -> Applications -> manage Applications -> Market -> Clear Cache, Clear Data, Force Stop.
Does this work for you as well, jared?

[Q] HELP! GAPPS (market) not working after flash

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.
UPDATE: I think i have 4.0.3 gapps instead of 4.0.4 which is obviously my CM version..this is the entire problem? I just re-flashed *without* wiping data and I'm still getting the same problem. I have the check mark but it's not loading. Cannot turn on wifi. Now Market is not updating to Play Store. What is my problem? Sorry for so much detail.
-Kevin / elevation
IF YOU only want the google play (market) you can use this
full wipe and reflash with latest gapps.
latest gapps are always at goo-inside.me/gapps
Could also try clearing the app data in manage apps.
THANK YOU!
