About 10 days ago, Play store froze on my device, now it won't open. Every time I click the app, it disappears for a moment then I am returned to home screen. I have tried clearing cache, clearing data, uninstalling updates, installing different playstore .apk from websites in an attempt to overwrite what I assume to be a corrupted .apk file. All to no avail. Has anyone seen this happen and know if I have any hope of fixing this or if I have to do the dreaded reset??. BTW my device is not yet rooted. But if I have to reset, probably will root after.
Reset and root after then.

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.
I am no longer able to download new apps or update installed apps from google play store (build 3.7.15). I can get the status bar that indicates a connection is being attempted, but I never get a download progress bar, and never any errors. The problem began about a week ago. I've tried clearing the play store cache, clearing data, and restoring to the factory version of play store, all with no success. No other connection problems (internet, email work fine). I'm currently running unrooted ICS 4.0.3. I'm completely at a loss, and appreciate any help!
UPDATE: After letting the download run overnight, I finally got an error 495. I've also tried clearing the cache and data from Download Manager, but still no luck.

So I have AOKP on my galaxy nexus 4.0.4. I made a back up and installed there JB AOKP to try it out. Lasted about 1.5 hrs. Then I restored with my CWR Backup. I made this back up on June 30. After I restored there was 3 apps thats didnt saw I purchased them when I did on friday. I have google checkout to prove it. I used titanium to restore the 3 missing apps but now in the play store it dont show them under MY APPS. Only when I search for them it shows them. What could cause this and how do I fix it? Theres no way I should have to buy them all over again. The werid thing is titanium worked fine and showed purchased in the play store but the other 3 apps didnt. Maybe its because I purchased titanium yesterday right before the i flashed JB AOKP. The other 3 were on friday.

go to titanium, and fix the market link of the three apps
I couldnt find that as a option. titianm is not as simple as my back up pro.
not working. i go to menu then market tools then market auto updates and it find the 3 apps. but it still dont show in play store. i think im ging back to myback up pro. was 10 times easier to use.
just "buy" them again from market, you won't be charged a second time
Maybe.....

I know this is kinda old but every time I try to download an app that I've purchased it doesn't show up as being purchased, and prompts me to buy it again. I tried just buying one of them again just to see what would happen and it gave me an error message saying I already owned the app, but it would not install. I've tried clearing cache/data, I've tried clearing the cache/dalvik cache via TWRP, I've tried installing an older version of Google play, I've tried clearing the cache/data for Google play services, I've tried factory resetting my phone twice, I've tried remotely installing the apps through Google play on a computer (it just says an unexpected error has occurred) I've tried deleting my Google account from the device and signing back in, and absolutely nothing seems to work. I'm on a OnePlus 5 running OxygenOS 5.1.1 (Android version 8.1) and I'm rooted using Magisk. I'm gonna try wiping the phone and reflashing the OS later today so I'll let you know how that goes but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What worked for me with a similar issue was removing Google play store completely (with a root file manager or in twrp), reboot and then flash gapps again. After that the play store was working fine again.
P.s. the path to play store is /system/priv-app/phonesky
At least on my Android 8.1 device.

I just tried that, and when it didn't work I went through with re-flashing the operating system all together and I'm now running stock and it's STILL not working so I'm officially at a loss... Thank you for your suggestion though I actually hadn't thought of that.
Hi,
I have a problem downloading certain apps from Google Play Store. When I tries to start download it will get stuck at 'Downloading'. This only happens when im doing downloads through WiFi but do not happen over data network, AND, doesn't happen to every single apps. It's like 60:40 chances - 60 the app download will NOT start.
So far i've tried every single method i've googled on XDA, Google Help, and everywhere else including:
______________________________________________________________
Wiping Download Manager, Play Store, Google Services Framwork
Wiping Dalvik cache after wiping the above
Wiping cache partition in Recovery after wiping all of the above
Removed my Google account and redo all of the above then readding it
Factory reset my phone
Re-flashed my ROM
Re-flashed my ROM AFTER doing factory reset
Factory reset after Re-flashing
Doing everything above again.
_________________________________________
I have no idea what else I can do to fix this ****ty Play Store. I tried to create another google account too but still same problem.
I need help......
EDIT: i tried with other device using the same WiFi network with same result. Not my phone's problem. Google server probably.
Hi, I'm unable to install apps that I have previously installed on my phone. Apps that were still installed when I had to factory reset my phone due to a soft brick. For example, I had Parking Mania 2 installed before I had to reset, and now that I did reset, all my apps were gone so I had to reinstall them, I used the OnePlus Switch app to transfer my old phones data, including apps, to my new phone (OnePlus 6t). I didn't have Parking Mania 2 installed on my old phone, so I have to get it from the Play Store now, but I get error code 910 every time I try to install it.
I remember having this issue before with older phones but I haven't put the pieces together until now. This always happens after I reset a phone, and I only get the error (same error code, 910) when I try to install previous apps.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?
Things I've tried:
Log out then back in to Google account
Clear Google Play Store cache/data
Restart phone
Download on both cell data/WI-FI
Look for residual app data (unable to find)
Edit: Sorry, just realized I'm in the wrong sub-forum.
