[Q] Play Store Problem : No Connection. How to fix!? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Play Store displays no connection even with wifi. Already tried wiping dalvik cache, cache partition. Also tried force closing and clearing data from Google Play Services, Play Store, Google Service Framework. Help!!

Not enough information, your Play app could be corrupt, app settings, ROM or Google account.
Try logging into Google play on the website first to check the account works, then un-install Play app, re-install without settings, last try factory reset/reflash ROM.
It could be really simple or very terminal, like you've disabled a service or corrupted your ROM.

extra info
Google play account works on website. Tried signing out and can't sign back in - "Couldn't establish a reliable connection". Google play v3.10.14. How do you uninstall google play app?

Have you tried clearing the cache of google play services and google play in the application mananger ?

found a better solution that worked for me without doing a factory reset or device wipe. just delete the hosts file in root/etc/, by using (total commander) app.then reboot ur device and run play store and enjoy. Make a copy of the "hosts" file just incase .
I hope it works for u guys , cuz it's really frustrating error.

Try clearing data from google play app and reboot ?

Deleting the hosts file and rebooting worked for me too. Thank you! :good:

AdFree
When using a rooted phone and you used Freedom for free in-game purchases, and as a result your play store won't connect, it's due the host file as stated in previous comments by others. To get rid of this problem, simply revert your host file and download the new host (both in the adfree app). This should fix the problem, hope it helps

Wrong Gapps version
After trying all solutions posted in this thread, I realized that the whole problem was that I had flash the wrong version of the Google Apps for the android version.
You can find which is the right one for your CM in the CyanogenMod Wiki. Sorry, I can't add the link now, it is my first link.

Fixed mine by realizing that somehow my system date and time were wrong.

Error downloading apps

I have been having this problem for quite sometime now. I have a Galaxy S Plus running on Android Gingerbread. Whenever I`m trying to download any apps I always get this error:
Update for "App Name"/ could not be downloaded due to an error. (905)
I have googled this problem and found out that I should just clear the cache of Google Play and the data of the Download Manager. I did this and it worked for a while however the problem keeps on coming back. I am already tired of repeating the steps over and over again. Now it`s gone worse, I cannot download anything. The same error keeps on coming up even if I already cleared the cache and data.
I believe I have sufficient space on my phone (phone, USB storage and SD card). Please help me out with my problem! THANK YOU.
its something about your /datadata being low on space.

[Q] Play Store: invalid package file for paid apps only!!

Please help!
It is a month or two now that I can't update any paid app, as the APK sent is invalid!
I have the latest Play Store and Play Store Services apps on SGS2 v4.1.2 stock rom.
I tried deleting both data and cache of both, I uninstalled the old app and also tried downgrading both Play Store App, but nothing worked.
I found that the APK files I receive for paid apps are not standard zip files, they seem corrupted or encrypted: can this be?
Can anybody Help?
Uninstall the paid app. If you actually purchased the app from the play store then its yours and you can reinstall it. Doesn't matter if the app was initially corrupted during its first download or not. Google keeps record of your purchases based on your Google account. You could even wipe your device out, restore it with a clean backup and still redownload all your apps.
If this isn't the case for you then sorry but you cannot be helped because your "paid app" is third party at this point - or in lamen terms, warez.

Nope!
The case is: I paid and installed app months (or years) ago; I've always been able to update from store with newer versions; it is some months now that every paid apps come down as a corrupt (or encrypted?) APK: I can't open them as zip files. And this happens with ALL and ONLY paid apps!
If I uninstall them, they come down corrupted again and do not install!
I would have lost them if it wasn't for Titanium Backup...

I think you cleared data and cache in the settings.
As you say, it didn't work in settings, you have to go to android recovery mode to clear cache.
I don't own this device. So I can't tell you how to enter recovery mode. You can Google it.
Once you enter recovery mode, there will be an option to clear cache. It clears cache of all the apps.
If you want, you can use custom recovery modes to clear cache.
After clearing it, reboot system and then try again to access.
Hope, it works.
Press thanks if I have helped you.

Downgrading Google Play app doesn't solve the issue in any way. It may complicate the issue even more.
The apk files will be encrypted as it is a paid app. I suppose.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Well, I guess the way out is by flashing gapps on your ROM. I too had looked for ways to install Google Play as a standalone app, but I didn't come across any information to do that. You could find Gapps on google by searching them with the android version your current ROM is running on.
I tried all but nothing works hehe
and i did not have any time these days... so we are cool :good:

Google Play Store Not Working - Forever Downloading Apps

By mistake, with Titanium backup I deleted Google Play Download Manager & Google Play Services.
However, having re-installed the very latest Google Play Services, applications still do not download.
Aside from re-installing all Google apps, is there a way of only getting the Google Play Store properly working?
Thank you so much.
You will solve problem by recovering phone to factory mode (dont forget to beckup all files you whant on computer)

Didn't work, unfortunately...
I had to re-install Scrubbers 5.0 Lollipop rom!
Thankfully, all data was backed up so there is no loss of data.
However, I am surprised that the rom had to be re-installed from scratch simply because Google Services was removed...
Despite clearing cache, data, factory reset/restore did not solve the problem.
That said, it was my fault for removing Google Services.
I've just installed minimal Google apps over the rom, saves me manually removing the $hit/bloatware. :laugh:

Google play store won't download

Google play won't download:
I recently updated my Android version on my unrooted Nexus 5X to the final release of Android 7.1.1 (I had the beta version before)
Since then my google play store won't download (keeps saying downloading... But never downloads)
I've tried a few things from the internet but none of them helped and the problem still exists:
* Rebooted phone
* Cleard cache and data of play store
* Cleard cache and data of download manager
* Restored play store to factory version (now also the play store fails to update itself)
* Removed my Google account from phone and added it again
As mentioned none of those helpd me and play store still not downloading anything including its own update.
My phone has plenty of free space and problem is also on WiFi (tried different WiFi's) and also on mobile data.
My last option is to do a factory reset to my phone but I'm a worried I will get stuck unable to download any apps so I want to keep it for when all hopes are lost
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the answer.
Did it. So now I have back the latest version of the play store but it still won't download anything.
I could technically stop using the play store and download apk's any now and then but thats not very convenient obviously.
My guess it's a problem with the google download manager that got updated with the system.
I tried looking for an apk for that so I could reinstall it but found nothing (only download managers that replace the browser's download manager)

Went into the play store and found out the system webview is disabled. Pressed enable but nothing happens.
Also through app settings the app shows to be disabled and the "enable" button is greyed out.
I was searching to update the system web view app through apk mirror but then found this thread:
https://www.google.com.ar/amp/forum...8833-android-system-webview-disabled.html?amp
Which in short says it's disabled in purpose by Android since updating to Android N.

Clear Google play services data. Update play store and Google play services. If any apps are disabled then enable them. Go to Google account and click sync now. Check your Android date and time.
Go to apps and clear download manager data.

So now I definitely think it is due to the update
I suggest you to again degrade it back to older version and wait until the newer version produced is completely stable

Problem just solved mysteriously and accidentally: my phone died (battery got to 0%) and after charging it and starting it again the problem was gone.
I have tried restarting the phone a few times (together with cache, data, account, etc cleaning) when the problem appeared but maybe letting the phone run out of battery has a different affect on the system than just restarting it?
Anyway problem solved.
