Hey guys, Due to some bug or something my Play Store doesnt work (On both my phones & PC, It has to do with my Google Account country) I contacted Google and they told me nothing could be done about it.
I was wondering if any of you know of a good App Market that doesn't link to the Play Store? I tried GetJar, AppBrain & BAM but they all link to the Play Store page. (It always says "This item is not available in your country" unless Ive installed it before)
I also tried SlideME but it didn't even have some very known apps.
Thanks!
What phone and what country provider? If all the google apk's are in system/app its should not matter.There are some lines to reference market in build.prop also. check for these in system/app/ most countries are not blocked. If all else fails ill upload you amazon market and it should work for your google market replacement.

I have all of those (Except one of mine is called GoogleContactsSyncAdapter & GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter)
Im using a Nexus 4 with CM10.1 Nightly 20130212, The app store used to work fine until 3 days ago when it suddenly just stopped showing apps.
Everything works perfectly but it just doesnt display any apps, The only place (And apps) I can see are the ones in the All Apps tab in My Apps.
Using 3rd party market browsers I can see apps when & They take me to the Play Store page to download they always say "This item is not available in your country"
The Play Store also doesnt work on my other phone (I bought this Nexus 3 months ago) & On the PC. Using a VPN on the PC works though, Which leads me to believe it has to do with my country.
I live in Curacao (Netherlands Antilles) & Its in the list of Paid App Availability so that means it should work.
Something weird that I noticed is the new "Market Enabler stopped working" threads around here, Which leads me to believe Google changed something in their country checking & That screwed me over.
I contacted Google Support 2 days ago I explainign everyhting I did (Clear cache, Reflash, Reinstall Gapps, Change DPI, Etc) got this response:

Thanks, Ill try out the Amazon market!
How exactly do I go on about using MarketEnabler?
I just went into Airplane mode, Force Stopped & Cleared the data of the Download Manager, Google Services, Google Play Store & Google Services Framework, Rebooted (Still in plane mode), Changed provider to AT&T US, Rebooted (Still in plane mode), Turned off plane more & Tried Play Store.
Still got the same problem, Its tied to my IP I believe because not even the PC Webstore works (Unless through a VPN)
So amazon market doesn't work? I always use the Verizon set in enabler. I'll do my best to help you out. In the Dr.office about to get pins pulled out of my arm right now. I'll see what I can come up with and get back with you. I have a few other devs I'll ask for some additional support.

The Amazon Market does work, Thanks alot for that Its the normal Play Store that doesnt (Even with MarketEnabler)
Just to test it out again I tried going into the Webstore Play Store through a VPN & It works perfectly, So its definitely my IP.
I guess Google just booted my country out of the Play Store...
Post me a copy of your build.prop I'll check it out and see if I can get your phone set for another country. Does your phone need a SIM card?

This is my daily carrier, Its got a Curacao SIM on it (From UTS).
I uploaded the build.prop as an attachment (Changed .prop to .txt otherwise it wouldent upload)
The build.prop does say "ro.product.locale.region=US", I went to the US almost specifically to buy this phone.
OK what i see is the google client missing,and your fingerprints reflected your country, here ive set it for sprint-us. Since i cant test for you, its up to you to try this out. here is your build.txt updated.when you make this a.prop and go to drop it in,be sure to rename old build.prop bak.prop first. then copy to system reboot twice wipe all cache and dalvik caches. all i changed was what needed to adjust to u.s sprint in google market.Hopefully this will fix it for you.please look over and see what changes ive made so if this works you can do it anytime you like. Always nandroid backup before making changes.

Nope, doesnt work. The phone just has a black screen after showing the Google logo when booting up.
Just incase this was my method:
1. Push your build.prop to the sdcard through ADB
2. Go into CM's file manager
3. Deleted build.prop from "/system" (Ofcourse, I backed it up first)
4. Pasted build.prop that I previously pushed to sdcard
5. Reboot
6. Wipe cache+Dalvik
7. Reboot
Kind of offtopic:
Something weird that I found is that going through the CM file manager the "/system" folder is full of folders & Build.prop is there.
To get to the sd card I have to go through "/storage/emulated/0/"...
When Im in TWRP's file manager, the "/system" folder (With no build.prop or any other files)only has "bin" folder (Empty) <-- I actually had to reflash CM to get the phone to work again since putting the old build.prop there didnt work.
To get to the sdcard I just go to "/sdcard"
Theres also alot more files on the main folder in CM's file manager (acct, config, firmware, etc.) than on TWRP's (TWRP only should a few of the folders/files that CM's filemanager does)
I cannot seem to find the "usual" files while on TWRP's file manager (Maybe theyre hidden?) but I can do so with CM's.
I can use both "/sdcard" & "/storage/emulated/0" on ADB to push files into it which means they are the same folder. (Unless if Im in TWRP, Then using "/storage/emulated/0" gives me an unrecognized error)
General question: Are important files hidden in TWRP's file manager? It seems to be inconsistent with CM's file manager

Same problem here, also in Curacao. Since December (around the 24th?) the playstore didn't work anymore on tablets but it still worked on the phones (I have an SGS / I9000). The tablets would get an error 'DF-DFERH-01' but with the phone it's different now - it seems to work but it doesn't show any (new) apps and it started a couple of days ago.
I have the same experience - even on the PC google play store isn't showing any apps but it works fine if you go through a VPN (try 'hidemyass.com').
As for the response from google - the response you got is the EXACT same response as is in the thread for the tablet problems since December, so don't hold your breath.
I'm really disappointed in Google here and considering going to the dark side (iphone or probably blackberry again). I've been waiting for 2 months now and no fixes, instead it's getting worse. Sony Tablet hasn't been working for two months now (play store).
With twrp you have to click mount then click system,data blah blah. Then use file manager and you'll see everything. Sorry I couldn't get you guys straight hopefully the Amazon market will do fine for you.

So I just flashed viperROM and rooted via the RegawMOD. Whenever I try to download a app from the Google Play store, it just refuses to download. It'll display the "Downloading" dialog and the icon will pop up in the notification bar, but it won't actually download. I've already tried clearing the Play Store's cache and the Download manager's cache. It didn't help. I am connected to the internet. When I tried downloaded the SwiftKey 3 beta off of their website, it worked. Anyone know how to solve this problem?
i rooted with regawMOD too and i locked my bootloader back and unrooted and i am having the same problem.i even ran ruu and still having the same troubles.
Did you try clearing the data in the google app store in addition to the cache? You will have to sign back in I think but that would be the next step. Otherwise I suppose just wait awhile and try again later after a reboot or something.
I had a similar problem and what I had to do was create a new google account then log into the play store with that account and delete my old google account. Once that's set check if you can download an app with your new google account. If you can then you should be able to log in with your old account and solve the problem.

I did try clearing everything. It still wouldn't work.
I noticed this the day I bought the phone.
It's really annoying when I've got app updates. If I click on the batch update button to update multiple apps, it won't complete unless I stay on the update page and keep the phone from going to sleep. Otherwise, the first app will update and the rest will stall on "downloading". This happen pre and post root.
Very annoying.

Just tried that. It didn't work.
its not you, its the service again.... i just flashed CM9 on my TF101 and am having the same issue as you describe .....probably an apple injunction on app patent infringement
not sure if this helps but worked for me.disconnect from your wifi if connected and just try to redownload the app.my wifi is good but foe some reason it won't work with wifi.
Not sure what is going on...mine isn't working either. My girlfriend is on straight talk, the t mobile part, i am on straight talk also, the att part. Neither are working on wifi or cell data. Stuck at downloading.
Its working again, i didnt do anything except try later

I am having this for 2 weeks, 2 phone have the same issue. Try to flash different ROM but fail
It must be google, what the heck they are doing!
Really irritating.... I, too, have this issue occasionally, usually on a large download ... like Sky Safari Pro (570 mbytes). Two months of this and my Note freezes during the episode. Only solution I have found is to turn off WiFi, power down, remove SIM and restart. Only then can I kill the download in Google Play. I have seen this on 3 different stock ROM's and 3 different Customs. GB and ICS. Currently on ICS XEU.
Usually waiting an hour or two and then it's okay.... batch updates are a real killer with this and I also see the first download okay then the rest hang and have to be shut down manually.
Google????????
Looks like this thread is closed..coz its back to working here..

Hi guys. I just received my HTC Droid DNA from the US. It has an unlocked bootloader and has been rooted with TWRP installed. Most of the Verizon bloatware has been removed too.
But after logging into my UK Google Play account I can only access the Apps category. Nothing else. No Music, Books, or Movies.
I updated the Google Play services but no luck. I even tried with an updated APK and it still won't work.
I also tried accessing the Movie store from the Play Movies app but it just takes me to the site.
Any ideas? This has never happened before with an import device.
Thanks.
Could it be because I dont have a SIM card installed?
Its so strange. Whenever I load the Play Store it just automatically starts in the Apps page. It doesn't open the regular homepage with options for Apps, Music, Movies & TV, Books etc.
I have attached a screenshot showing what its like. Normally in the top left corner there would be an option to go from the apps page back to the main page but there simply isn't.
I have even tried changing the locale to English UK using apps like MultiLocale2 and others. When I load the Play Store after it looks like its about to load the main page but then it goes back again to the Apps page.
Even attempting to access the Book store from the Play Books app diverts me to the Play Store website http://play.google.com.
Clearly something is going on here. Something is blocking access to the other Play Services.
Also everything is in dollars $. I don't mind this as I had the same thing on my old Motorola Xoom, but the fact that the other services have gone is very strange.
This is really annoying now. I have tried the following:
Updating Google Play Services in the Play Store
Installing the latest Google Play Store APK
Turning on all location services
Changing my locale to English UK/GB and English US
Attempting to access the store categories from their respective apps e.g. Play Music app (just diverts me to the Play Store website)
Trying different languages in the Setup Wizard
Edited my Google Account and added my region as UK
Deleted preinstalled Play Music, Movies, Books APK/odex files
Restored my phone
None of these methods have worked. I can only access Apps in the Store. Nothing else.
Is it because the phone is rooted? Did deleting the bloatware cause any issues?

I just reinstalled all the Verizon bloatware to system/app via the file manager in TWRP. Rebooted the phone, turned on location services logged into my Google account and still no luck.
Only the Apps still in the Play Store.
Getting really annoyed now. I have tried nearly everything. Last shot is to swap out the GooglePlayServices Framework and Play Store APK's with different more upto date ones.
Tried swapping the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Phonesky.apk with updated versions in system/app.
Rebooted the device and the Play Store just crashes and comes up with an error.
Went into recovery and deleted the associated odex files for both of them and tried again. Now I get a server error in the Play Store.
Restored the device from a backup now. So annoying! I doubt this device will work properly with Google Play outside of the US.

Wipe your data and cache in TWRP. It's a nuisance to put all of your things back the way you had them, but this usually solves odd problems like this.
I give up.
Tried everything and nothing is working. It just simply wont load the main Play Store page. It jumps automatically to Apps. In that I have noticed that there is a Verizon category and everything is in USD$. But that still doesnt explain why its not working properly.
On top of that I have pushed new Phonesky.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk. Tried them with both odex files present as well as deleted.
Comes up with either Server Errors or Error Retrieving Information From Server [RH-01].
Does any one with more knowledge like a dev have any idea how to fix this?
2 questions...
Did you have this issue prior to device unlock?
Have you wiped data as reccomended by several other users in this thread?
I know its not a perm solution but i suggest that you create a new google email account and attempt to log into the playstore using these new credentials. This will allow you to test your theory that its related to your uk goog account. If that is the case then reg an account with US google and your problem is solved. I know it inconvenient to have to lose paid apps and what not but if this is truly a location issue then you may not have a choice my friend. Good luck.

Hi.
Thanks for the response.
I personally did not perform the unlock. The seller in the US did, as well as rooting the device. Upon receiving it, I immediately reset the device and logged in with my Google account. Thats when I noticed the problem. Its only been connected to WiFi as I have no Micro SIM yet to try it out on it.
I have wiped Data via TWRP as well as the Cache and Dalvik Cache. I have cleared data and cache in the Application settings for both the Play Store and Google Play Services. Nothing seems to work.
And its a very strange problem. Not one I have encountered before and searching on the internet it seems to be very rare. If I try to access the Books category by clicking on the little Play Store logo in the Play Books app, it switches to the Play Store and then immediately opens a new tab in the browser sending me straight to the website.
Surely as a Global device with unlocked GSM capabilities they should expect a foreigner or even someone on holiday from the States to try and use Google Play in another country.

Just tried it now mate. Created a new Google account with US details. Logged into Google Play and still the same problem. I even went through the Setup Wizard route on the phone just to be sure. It must be detecting my location via my IP address.
OK Guys.
Im getting somewhere now.
I have downloaded Market Enabler APK and set the phone to US Verizon settings. I then used Droid VPN with a US server and now I can access the Play Store properly with all the categories. So its clearly an IP issue. But now the question is how the hell do I get past it?
Just to confirm this. I logged out of my new US Google Account and back into my old UK one. At the same time I kept Market Enabler and Droid VPN active.
It worked fine. I was able to access the Play Store properly with all categories. After this I logged out of Droid VPN and deleted Market Enabler and it still worked! (I attached a screenshot) The last piece was to see if it would function after a reboot.
Turned the phone back on, went into the Play Store and the same problem as before. Only Apps. So its clearly to do with my UK IP address.
But at least I now know. Looks like I will be selling the Droid DNA.
What I don't understand, is that if i'm in the UK with a UK IP address, with a working UK SIM and a UK Google Account why cant I access the UK Google Play store on an unlocked GSM device?!

Well the device is not technically an unlocked GSM device. Your bootloader is unlocked but that has nothing to do with the ability to use it on another carrier. The device was released under verizon as a flagship verizon exclusive with GLOBAL CAPABILITY meaning all applicable consumers would have purchased in the us and be roaming on all other carriers, so technically was never meant to be a GSM only phone. The fact that it works on GSM carriers is because of the radio chip they decided to use. Now because it can pick up these bands doesnt mean that vzw released the device with the intentions of it being used on other carriers. What you need sir is the HTC j butterfly which is a GSM "Carrier UNLOCKED" global version. Anyway I imagine with a little wizardry there is a way around this for you. I cant provide a fix but I'm sure there is a way. I'll ask a couple people and see what their thoughts are.
Thanks for the reply. I understand where your coming from. I know that its a Verizon exclusive, but if anyone was to use it abroad even for a short while why cant they just reroute you to the local Google Play store or better yet base your Play Store off your country details in your account.
I think this is also due to the fact that the phone is ultimately only for US consumers like you said. Even when setting up the phone there is no option for English UK or English AU etc. Just the US.
Oh well. Thanks for everyones help.

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!!!

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.

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.

When did you start using your account on Google play? Did you use in on GB and before?

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.
I've just looked at my apps list in the play store and there is loads of my installed apps missing they are installed on my phone but not showing up in the list. Could someone please tell me where they have gone and how to get them back.

This has happened to me as well. I think I started after Google Play was updated to version 4.3.11.
I have like 120 apps installed. The "Installed" tab under "My apps" now says I've got 9: Barcode Scanner, GTasks Key, K-9 Mail, Official XBMC Remote, Pure Calendar, Pure Grid Calendar, Soundhound, Superuser and USSD/MMI Fix. If I flip to the "All" tab, all my apps are still there. From there I can view information about the apps, but those that are not among those 9 will say that they're not compatible with my device.
My device is a rooted HTC Desire Z (called G2/Vision in North America), with some "EliteMod" 4.0.4 ROM - which have been working perfectly for well over a year. I was thinking it was some kind of Apple-style scam by Google to force users of old, rooted devices to upgrade.. xD
When trying (and failing) to figure out how to tell a living person at Google that 90 % of my installed apps and probably 99 % of the apps in Play Store are missing, I discovered the following added comment here:
"We’ve heard of some users suddenly missing apps under the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app. This is a known issue that we are currently investigating, and updates can be found on our Known Issues page."
I found no updates on it on the "Known issues" page, though.
I have the same problem
Hey guys,
I have the same problem after updating Play Store to 4.3.11. My installed apps went missing, I am not able to search for any apps on Play Store, app in all apps tab arent available in my country anymore (all these apps were available in my country before the update) play.google.com does not show my device, well its really frustrating. I wonder when google will fix this problem. I guess its something to do with their framework services.

I've fixed it today, I'm not exactly sure how, as I tried a dozen different things I read online. Including uninstalling Adfree, removing hosts-file, clearing app-data for some Google Service-apps, flashing gapps one more time, etc.
But what I did just before it started working again, was to remove my Google account (the one used on Play Store, you can remove it from "Accounts/Synchronization" under Settings), restart the device, and then re-add the account again (in "Accounts/Synchronization"-settings). Then everything became as perfect as it was.

Thanks trollsperm. I will try that today. BTW, I have observed one more thing. The playstore works just fine after a new flash on Wi-Fi, but it goes back to the no working state as soon as I switch from Wi-Fi to Mobile Network. Have you encountered that?
I have tried your suggestion of deleting the account and re-add the account. This was the outcome
1.The play store started working fine and app sync was flawless. This was on Wi-Fi
2. I switched to the mobile internet and the play store worked fine until I rebooted the phone. The play store stopped working and apps were missing after the reboot with the mobile network on.
3. I then cleared the play store cache and data and switched on WiFi. Opened play store and voila the play store worked normally.
4. I did the same process on the mobile network but it didn't work out.
I guess the Google location services are kinda screwed up on the mobile network and not on WiFi.

Then I'm afraid your issue is different than mine. For me, the result have always been the same, whether or not I'm on Wifi or mobile. I can now browse Play Store both on Wifi and mobile, and rebooting changes nothing.
When I experienced the issue of "empty" Play Store, the Wifi-connection icon in the upper right corner were always gray (instead of blue) - something that's usually only happening if I'm connected to a wireless network, but the router isn't connected to the actual internet.
My conclusion is inconclusive, I'm just happy that it's back to normal..
Hi guys,
I'm facing the exact same problem as rahulananda.
In my case, the play store running on my Galaxy S4 and also on my notebook, is empty - searchs returns nothing and whey I access directly an app page, it says the app is not available in my country (Brazil).
For me, play store works fine over when mobile data (4G) is enabled, it doesn't work at all on wifi.
I also have a Galaxy S3 which is working perfectly on wifi and also mobile data.
It doesn't seem to be related to play store version, as in all my devices it is currently on version 4.3.11 - besides it is also not working on my laptop.
But, indeed, this is an issue to determine the location - for some reason, over my wifi, and rahulananda's mobile data, Play Store is unable to determine the country.
I found this on Google's Known issues: support.google.com/googleplay/known-issues/1319135?hl=en reffer to issue 8324410.
Hope they fix this soon, this is driving me crazy!!!
Let me know if you find a solution!
Its a simple fix as long as you have root.If you do look at this:
1. Navigate to the Build.prop
2. Find these 2 lines:
Code:
ro.build.description=
ro.build.fingerprint=
3. Delete everything in front of the "=" sign
4. Download a custom rom for another device that has great compatibility with apps(htc one, sgs4)
5. Copy those lines from its build.prop to yours
6. Reboot and Enjoy your market:good:
Well, my problem has been solved after applying the latest CM10 nightly update.

Hi Guys
This issue has been going on for 4 months now, i can rarely download or update an app on the play store because it gives me error 927. Only the odd update or install will work and this happens over both Wifi and Celluar
I have several android devices, 2013 Nexus 7, SGS4, Optimus G Pro, Xperia Z Tablet, Note 1 and the same happens on every single device. If i use a different account after resetting the phone i dont have the issue but the problem is i have purchased £100's of applications on my normal account so i cant afford to use another one.
I have tried wiping caches,factory resets and nothing seems to work. I contacted google and they dont have any idea either!!
I was hoping someone here had a similar issue?
Thanks
I've had a similar error occur for me. Whenever I install/update an app where on WiFi or Mobile Network it would send off and error.
It was a constant annoyance for me.
It stopped when I did this, I headed into Manage Apps>All Apps, and opened Google Play Store, cleared data and cache. And did the same to Google Play Services, I proceeded by rebooting the device next thing I know, my phone starts updating apps .
I hope this'll work for you.

Doesnt make no difference on mine
Hello!
Contact Google, it is their right to investigate this problem, if you've payed that much money for apps, one certainly wouldn't move to another account, tell them about this problem.
Cake...
Yeah they suggested I use another account or wipe the cache. I've tried contacting on 3 different occasions. Each one has been a waste of time

Worst support at its best, try going into play store, clear the data for store and service, and go back to play store and go on uninstall updates.

Just so people are aware, this is still happening, I'm writing this today because things were going ok for a while, but, the play store got updated again, to 4.6.17. It happens on my Nexus 5, HTC Evo 4 G, & galaxy tab 8.9, it happens on different versions of play store. If I create new account, play store works great. I contacted Google as well, basically got pissed cause they were completely useless. Right from beginning I was honest, & told them I was rooted. They basically blamed it on that. Anyways, Google play suck$

Yeah it still happens to me too. Exactly the same issue as your having but only on my main account.
If I keep pressing install it will eventually work but sometimes it takes around 20 attempts.. Google gave me no support either

If you're rooted go into system>etc and look for hosts.
Open it and delete exert line except the "local" one the local one will also contain numbers in the line. Do not delete them.
Restart your device, and try.
